welcome to episode 13 of our basaly
0:09
series The basaly asks the obvious
0:12
question if we're being told now that
0:15
everything happens is God's decree and
0:18
my ISL is really not necessary why am I
0:22
working why must I put forth the effort
0:25
and the answer is you're 100% right it's
0:28
a punishment God punished us after the
0:32
sin of
0:34
Adam by the sweat of your brow you're
0:36
going to eat bread it really was
0:38
unnecessary Adam before he sinned the
0:40
BET quotes the gar Angels Came and they
0:44
were feeding him sizzling steaks and
0:47
pouring wine for him it's only the sin
0:52
that caused the punishment that we need
0:53
to work the BET continues and says God
0:57
is not a vengeful God he's not out to
1:00
get us punishments are not there just to
1:02
punish God wants to fix us and if we
1:06
after we ate from the at which
1:08
introduced desire into man would have
1:12
the free time that Adam and K had before
1:14
this sin we'd only get into trouble and
1:18
therefore God said work and toil cuz I
1:21
need to keep you busy not because I need
1:24
your work and effort to get what you
1:25
need I don't need that I can send mine
1:28
from the heavens the only reason I make
1:31
you work is to keep you out of trouble
1:33
studies show that on holiday weekends
1:35
the crime rate goes up when people don't
1:38
have what to do they get themselves in
1:42
trouble therefore we have to work and as
1:47
the
1:51
says learning is good with
1:54
work the toil of both of
1:57
them causes us to forget sin work needs
2:01
to be toil people think if I'm sitting
2:03
at a computer all day that's work that
2:05
might not be work it has to be something
2:07
that keeps you busy and keeps you out of
2:10
trouble and that's why the says if
2:13
you're able to stay learning and you're
2:16
someone that's dedicated to learning and
2:17
you don't waste your time and you stay
2:19
out of trouble then wonderful you have
2:21
the right to learn and be supported by
2:23
others but if you're going to get into
2:24
trouble then keep
2:28
working adds a third reason why God gave
2:31
us the requirement to do his it's a it's
2:36
a opportunity to test us it's a fertile
2:41
ground for
2:43
n you're in business are you going to
2:46
deal honestly in business are you going
2:47
to charge interest are you going to lie
2:49
are you going to cheat are you going to
2:51
deceive you're planting are you going to
2:53
put wool are you going to put um
2:55
different crops together Kim are you
2:58
going to plow with a cow and and a a a
3:00
uh a donkey there's many many laws that
3:03
would not be able to be uh fulfilled and
3:06
theyd have no opportunity to do them
3:08
without working so not that work is
3:11
necessary but for the above three
3:13
reasons we have to work number one it's
3:16
a punishment number two we have to stay
3:18
busy to keep out of sin and number three
3:21
it's our opportunity for tests to see if
3:23
we'll keep the Torah and mitvah have a
3:25
wonderful
3:28
day
