Jesus, where did you learn your Russian, J.C. Penny?

no need another hint?

Judaism completely rejects the notion of original sin. According to Judaism, a child is born pure, completely free from sin. We pray daily "Oh G-d, the soul which you gave me is pure. You created it, you fashioned it, you breathed it into me."

In Genesis 2:7, the Bible states that G-d formed (vayyitzer) man. The spelling of this word is unusual: it uses two consecutive Yods instead of the one you would expect. The rabbis inferred that these Yods stand for the word "yetzer," which means impulse, and the existence of two Yods here indicates that humanity was formed with two impulses: a good impulse (the yetzer tov) and an evil impulse (the yetzer ra).

The yetzer tov is the moral conscience, the inner voice that reminds you of G-d's law when you consider doing something that is forbidden. According to some views, it does not enter a person until his 13th birthday, when he becomes responsible for following the commandments.

The yetzer ra is more difficult to define, because there are many different ideas about it. It is not a desire to do evil in the way we normally think of it in Western society: a desire to cause senseless harm. Rather, it is usually conceived as the selfish nature, the desire to satisfy personal needs (food, shelter, sex, etc.) without regard for the moral consequences of fulfilling those desires.

The yetzer ra is not a bad thing. It was created by G-d, and all things created by G-d are good. The Talmud notes that without the yetzer ra (the desire to satisfy personal needs), man would not build a house, marry a wife, have children or conduct business affairs. But the yetzer ra can lead to wrongdoing when it is not controlled by the yetzer tov. There is nothing inherently wrong with sexual desire, but it can lead you to commit rape, adultery, or incest.

The yetzer ra is generally seen as something internal to a person, not as an external force acting on a person. Although it has been said that Satan and the yetzer ra are one and the same, this is more often understood as meaning that Satan is merely a personification of our own selfish desires, rather than that our selfish desires are caused by some external force.

People have the ability to choose which impulse to follow: the yetzer tov or the yetzer ra. That is the heart of the Jewish understanding of free will. The Talmud notes that all people are descended from Adam, so no one can blame his own wickedness on his ancestry. On the contrary, we all have the ability to make our own choices, and we will all be held responsible for the choices we make.

I hope that helps.

if anyone is interested i could probably explain original sin and the dual nature, as seen in Judaism.

sorry, wrong answer

no, not it.

Hi, everyone.

I have a movie recommendation~~

The tv writer sleuth makes her debut,

David Selznick got angry because his star didn't get top billing.

Fear is gone, I haven't been afraid since I've known you, but insanity is learned.

yes 2 both~~

nope.

I thought all writers drank to excess and beat their wifes. You know one time I secretly wanted to be a writer.

I went to school with Robert Smiegel (Triumph the insult dog), we used to eat lunch,sing songs

and draw comics.

Steve Buscemi came to my pawn shop to find a set for a Sopranos episode, he didn't use my store, but he bought me a drink.

I met Tony Bennett in Atlantic City, Sharon some how managed to get him to buy us dinner.

Back to School

best line in this movie was-"you lie to girls, you don't lie to me"
