Arikm, Perhaps you should check your sources again. The first census generation's pronouncement by G-d had NOTHING to do with Original Sin or lack of "faith"....yada....yada....yada....<snip>.....yada...yada....yada....
<snip>....a trilogy of kutzpah comments.... yada...yada...yada.... <snip>...... jeepers, is there no end?..... yada... yada... yada..... ah, at last - the end.....The World to Come is NOT heaven, nor is it governed by anything less than that which G-d gave to the Jewish people.


I don't know where to begin - you were all over the place in that post. You had so many rabbit trails going, even bugs bunny would be confused. I don't even think a gps would have helped.

I gave you the specific verses from Moses, which you... evaded the clear words of Moses. Among those verses, Moses himself said he acted to intercede (paraphrased) on behalf of the Children of Israel in the golden calf incident. Do you deny that Moses pleaded with God not to destroy them? Yes or no?
