Takes2-2tango,
Maybe you should learn to read before you spew your hatred towards the OTD world.
I was addressing your post. Not some “OTD world.” And I spewed no hatred, towards you or anyone else. I made an effort to write my post in a respectful manner. You have not afforded me the same courtesy.
I never ever said that hashem doesnt punidh sinners.
You asked rhetorically if we get punished when we sin, and used that as a basis for an argument that we don’t have the right to punish people for sins when Hashem doesn’t (always) punish us. If that wasn’t your point, I apologize, and ask if you could restate it more directly.
Fot you as a human being you have no right to decide whether a person is or is not betraying hashem. Hashem is the only one to know what is in a person head and heart. not you, not a father and not moshe rabenu .
I agree that we cannot know what is in someone else’s heart. However, as we read in Parshas Nitzavim: ????????????? ????????? ????????????????????? ??????????? ??????????? ?????????????????? ?????????? ????????
That said, if you’ve read all of my posts, you’ll find that I never suggested that we should punish a child who is off the derech. The only thing I have said is that parents have a right to set rules and expectations for what goes on in their house. And that they should do so lovingly and carefully.
Until then leave it up to hashem and stop judging people especially people who dress , talk and differently then u. Its people like you who cause kids to off.
That’s a whole lot of unfounded assumptions about me. It is your finger that is pointed in self-righteous judgement of others, not mine.
