“Aha. So just that those who sin could feel good about themselves, we aren’t meant to overcome our tests in life. In other words, if all is easy and keeping Yiddishkeit is a breeze, then great let’s do it. But if it’s a challenge then we aren’t davka meant to pass them.”
I hope you don’t really believe that that’s what I meant when I wrote my post. I’m simply saying that I personally am not in a position to judge others. I am also saying that I and you and everyone else here do not know the reason Hshm does things.
According to you, if you’re supposed to pass all tests in life and you fail some, what does that mean? That you are going against Hshms plans? That He didn’t know you would not pass it? That you’re banned forever? Can never get back on the right track?
Hshm is always giving us nisyonos; just because you fail one doesn’t mean you won’t pass one in the future. This is not to say that you shouldn’t make every conceivable effort to pass the challenges you are given in life. But we are not perfect. We make mistakes. We do wrong. Hshm never says that if you sin, He doesn’t love you. He will give you more opportunities and challenges in your life so that you can try to overcome those.
But how can we judge others who didn’t overcome their challenges? Does it make me a better person, because I didn’t go OTD but maybe I spoke loshon harah the other day? Who can judge whos sin is worse?
