Angry and Irrational (4:23)
Manage episode 493030325 series 1913053
Who controls a person? That is arguably the most important question there is. As Jews we are trained to adopt the Almighty God as our Master. With the Creator governing our life via His Torah, we are on the correct path to fulfill our life’s duty. But the Talmud reveals that there is an impostor jockeying for that role. The Yetzer Hara is a foreign god seeking to supplant God from within us to to commandeer that post. Once the foreign god is sitting on the throne within us, its directives will b e obeyed with religious zeal and we are heading down a path of devestation and destruction.
