Do you remember when John and I were in hot debate a few months ago? Most
people saw only anger and spittle. If the two dialoging are Jewish sages,
they are being passionate for their positions. Once the debate is over... or
even while it's still going on... they will break to eat and will have no
ill feelings toward their opponent. It's not a personal issue and it's not a
belittling issue. It's the love of Torah that spurns each one to understand
the Truth of God's message. Sometimes a Rabbi ill take a "devil's advocate"
position just to see where the discussion will go.
However, I must admit that the person must be seeking Truth, not just the
desire to be found victorious. There can only be one motivation for debate.
"spittle" ???? Is that what I have on the inside of my monitor screen? Wondered how it got there.
Make love not war
