Torah Observant?

THESIS: Awhile back some priests set the goals of the Jewish people.
Those goals were very limited. They were limited to giving strict
obedience to the Torah. These limited goals were to substitute for
the arguably more ambitious goals of spiritual advancement toward a
God-like state, which were thought to be too difficult for the common
man. Be it resolved that Jews should continue to regard the goals of
obedience to the Torah as the summom bonum of Jewish conduct and
behavior.

You are so clueless and the byproduct is that you have corrupted your soul
so completely that you believe you are a god.

Here's a simple analogy.

The rabbis have changed the calendar year of God Almighty. Ex.
12:1-2.
The beast, according to Daniel 7:25-27 seeks to change the Appointed
Times and Law.

Are you following the beast?

Would now be a good time to question what the atheists have to do with
