The Teachings of the Kingdom of Heaven, Rabbi Portnar

Why did Maimonides himself, one of the greatest authorities of the Torah, state himself that in the days of MaShiach only the festival of Purim will be celebrated. Obviously he was privy to the understanding of what will occur, the change that will come about..
That's not what Maimonides says.
And the reason why he said it, is because he follows the second opinion quoted in the Jerusalem Talmud.

Like both works you've quoted in this thread, you have only half-truths and ignorance which leads you to believe things which aren't true.

And before you retort about what Maimonides means, make sure you familiarize yourself with similar quotes found elsewhere in Jewish source texts.

Edit:
Forgot to add a response for this gem:
Thank you for your comment, a Jew is the internal aspect, it is the inner man. To be Jewish is not simply an external act of religious tradition. A jew is one that borrows evil and gives back in good. A Jew is one that has crossed over, as did Evre, whose name means to cross over. From which we recieved the Holy Language Evrit/Hebrew. That is to cross over from Babylon- the desire to receive for oneself, a Jew receives to in order to give.
Ever was not a Jew.

A Rabbi by definition one who is learned in Torah a servant of HaShem, the one that brings Torah to the people, as the title Rabbi was given to sages due to their knowledge and not a piece of paper . Rabbi Portnar's knowledge of Torah, Talmud and the concealed Torah, can assure goes far beyond most Rabbis of our generation.
No, the title of Rabbi was exclusively given to Sages who had passed competency tests in one or multiple of a few areas of Jewish Law. We actually can tell which of 2 Mishnaic sayings come first by checking which statement the Sage has the word "Rabbi" appended to his name.

If you listen to his teachings on Zohar, Etz Chaim, TES L, Shlavei and other you will see he us privy to the deepest knowledge and understanding. Foundation Course Kabbalah is a much better start to listen to before diving into the deeper and more complex lessons.
You have confused "deep" with "correct".

Thanks for you comment, even though somewhat aggressive. I can say this to your comment, "it is not the redemption that brings the man but it is the man that brings the redemption", I hope one day you will experience this. Be well.

You can always expect that from me, when you masquerade as a member of the Jewish faith and appropriate our texts for your own twisted uses.

I can say this to your comment, "it is not the redemption that brings the man but it is the man that brings the redemption", I hope one day you will experience this.
And I can retort to what you've said to my comment, "it's neither". The redemption is not a thing that brings things. G-d is the one who brings the redemption and He is not a man.
I hope one day you'll realize that pithy statements sometimes are not even as valuable as the pith they are full of.

And don't forget to check out my awesome edit.

@Tumah, as much as I adore giving you ratings, this is infact in 'resources'. We'd do well to leave it here.

Appreciate your comments, the external man is always right. The external is Big and Strong while the internal man is weak, as he is not given a chance to develop. The ability to make yourself small from within, to accept that all men are His Creations and to be willing to accept that everything comes from Him, without exception. Only in the state of being small can man connect with the Eternal Light, otherwise their simply isn't room in the kelim to receive the Light. GADOL is exile and katan is salvation. Another pithy statement you might like.

I feel you are very righteous, as it seems to suit your Comments. Explain please in a strait forward way, why we Jews are currently in exile why the 2 temples were destroyed and the third temple is not rebuilt?
As of course you have a Gadol explanation I am sure. though the secret to salvation is in the katan....recommend to read what you wrote within your heart, and you will surely get a deep feeling of happiness, that you were finally able to recognize the contempt your external self has developed and fed....

Be well...

In light of the comment two comments before yours, you're going to have to request the mods to move this thread to the Religious Debates section to carry on this conversation.

ver was not a Jew.

Clearly Ever was not a Jew, as he was technically the the first Hebrew

There is nothing to debate, there is no forcing in the spiritual. Everyone has full freedom of choice.

Be well
