Bible Note: Simchat This is a Christian forum not a Kabbalah forum where we have chosen to study the authentic not the counterfeit. Would it do any good for me to pull out my old books research your question and produce an answer. I would imagine you have a rebuttal to any objection I might raise. However Kabbalah is known to be mysticism, has it’s roots in mysticism, is summarily rejected my orthodox Jews and Christians alike, for me to open the door for you play upon my lack of understanding would be foolishness on my part. Paul confronted many like you and this was his encouragement to Timothy. “O Timothy, guard what has been entrusted to you, avoiding worldly and empty chatter and the opposing arguments of what is falsely called "knowledge"— 1 Tim. 6:20 Incidentally Joseph Smith the founder of the Mormons was a great fan of Kabbalah that in itself should be a flashing red light to any that would entertain your bent. As I have said I have studied Kabbalah enough to know it is a lie, I have Jewish friends that I have discussed this subject with and they too have concluded Kabbalah is birthed in mysticism. For me that is enough. EdB |
