Guess what? a) The SHulchan Aruch does not list the 3 oaths as halacha - hence your claims are irrelvant, and b) Rav Chaim Vital already cites the Arizal as having said the oaths expired after 1000 years. <br /><br />Indeed, Rambam also doesnt classify them as halacha, and in his Iggeret Teiman, he only includes the aspect of claculating the end as being forbidden, which he also says in his MT. Pity you don't actually study halacha, or you would know these things.Kalonymus Anonymusnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7309929059139673041.post-32469710468532665332019-10-27T23:08:15.064+02:002019-10-27T23:08:15.064+02:00“Was Koheles always smiling?”
Koheles was fearful ...“Was Koheles always smiling?”<br />Koheles was fearful of doing even one sin. “Wisdom is more valuable than weapons of war [emendation yields everything precious] מכלי קרב, but a single error וחוטא אחד destroys much of value טובה הרבה.” (Ecclesiastes 9:18).<br />קהלת פרק ט פסוק יח<br />טוֹבָה חָכְמָה מִכְּלֵי קְרָב וְחוֹטֶא אֶחָד יְאַבֵּד טוֹבָה הַרְבֵּה:<br />Kiddushin 39b: <br />“Mishnah. He who performs one precept is well rewarded [lit., good is done to him], his days are prolonged, and he inherits the land [i.e., the future world.], but he who does not perform one precept, good is not done to him, his days are not prolonged, and he does not inherit the land [the Mishnah is explained in the Gemara].”<br />Kiddushin 40:<br />“Our Rabbis taught: A man should always regard himself as though he were half guilty and half meritorious. If he performs one precept, happy is he for weighting himself down in the scale of merit. If he commits one transgression, woe to him for weighting himself down in the scale of guilt, for it is said, but one sinner חוטא אחד destroyeth much good [Ecc, IX, 18]: [i.e.,] on account of a single sin which he commits much good is lost to him [viz., his meritorious deeds, being now outbalanced]. R. Eleazar son of R. Simeon said: Because the world is judged by its majority, and an individual [too] is judged by his majority [of deeds, good or bad], if he performs one good deed, happy is he for turning the scale both for [lit. of] himself and for the whole world on the side of merit; if he commits one transgression, woe to him for weighting himself and the whole world in the scale of guilt, for it is said: but one sinner וחוטא אחד, etc. on account of the single sin which this man commits he and the whole world lose much good.”<br />According to R. Eleazar son of R. Simeon the world is judged according to the majority how they behave and the individual is judged the same, after the according to the majority how they behave majority. R. Eleazar son of R. Simeon bases this on Kohelet 9:18. Wow. Kohelet is very afraid because each every sin can be just the sin to bring the majority to sin. This is R. Eleazar son of R. Simeon’s explanation of the Mishnah. The Mishnah is considering the case of the world exactly balanced between sin and merit. Kohelet has the attitude that the world is exactly balanced between sin and merit and so is extremely fearful of anyone doing even one sin. With such an attitude how can he smile all the time?Gerald Aranoffhttp://scholar.google.com/citations?hl=en&user=7Y27bY0AAAAJ&sortby=pubdate&view_op=list_works&pagesize=100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7309929059139673041.post-33943110833897877232019-10-27T23:05:07.805+02:002019-10-27T23:05:07.805+02:00idiotic statement

But Gedaliah the son of Ahikam believed them not. 15 Then Johanan the son of Kareah spoke to Gedaliah in Mizpah secretly, saying: 'Let me go, I pray thee, and I will slay Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and no man shall know it; wherefore should he take thy life, that all the Jews that are gathered unto thee should be scattered, and the remnant of Judah perish?' 16 But Gedaliah the son of Ahikam said unto Johanan the son of Kareah: 'Thou shalt not do this thing; for thou speakest falsely of Ishmael.' {P}<br /><br /><br />Sadly, gedaliah did not accept the truth, he was too brainwashed in his yeshiva, about loshon hara.
