what difference does all of this make?

Discussions about the validity or the level of communication of the parts of the Torah from G-D
seem to be mostly turbulence about nothing of consequence. So why waste your time and mine creating a blog and sending it via e- mail to you when it won't give you advice as to how to pay your bills or deal with children?
The answer lies in the power of ideas to influence long after they were stated . i try to put myself in every question posed as how i would try to see it if it were me. As such, the answers are very real because they cover issues of belief that are usually glossed over and not thought out by the average Rabbi.
If the Torah is a series of prophecies then it isn't meant to be understood. If that is the case then it's just as dogmatic as any set of beliefs except that its' claims of truth are stronger. still a dogma that doesn't allow for questions invites people to leave by its' abusive ideology. Only when tempered by understanding does the Prophecy aspect give life to an ancient way of life, that we have been taught is timeless in its' appeal. This is why it's important to make ideas alive and relevant. Otherwise our beliefs stagnate and grow weary.
