Removed the links to a despicable, deceptive, anti-Jewish website.

| Dec 19, 2013 at 21:28 | comment | added | Monica Cellio | If you've got a more reliable source for this information, it would improve this answer to edit that in. That site contains a lot of misleading and/or mistaken information. It's telling that they conceal their identity and affiliation. (Or, at least, I can't find anything on their site admitting to who they are.) | |
| Dec 19, 2013 at 19:23 | comment | added | Yishai | I don't have time to go through every part of that long link, but the translations are highly suspect and selective, using misleading words, on a few that I noticed. The overall point is fine as a listing of sources to investigate, but don't accept that translation and interpretation, it is way over-strident and un-nuanced. | |
| Dec 19, 2013 at 18:28 | comment | added | Double AA♦ | I don't have time for a longer response other than precision in words is something you should always do as a human. You aren't an animal; God gave you the ability to speak. Use it. | |
| Dec 19, 2013 at 18:25 | comment | added | eramm | 1) I consider the Ramchal a prime source for these types of questions as he devoted many of his works to make the ideas of kabbala more understood. 2) The answer is not my own but someone elses (see the link !) I only brought the Ramchal to make the answer more complete and it's the only source i could easily find online (not in pdf). 3) I am neither a Rishon or Artscroll so I don't think there is a need to be so exacting in my choice of words. If the person asking the question is satisfied that should be enough otherwise it seems like just asking questions for the sake of asking a question. | |
| Dec 19, 2013 at 17:57 | comment | added | Double AA♦ | The Ramchal lived 250 years ago. Isn't there anything more original than that? You know, from that big part of Jewish history before 1000 CE? You did say "throughout". | |

clairified the source and conclusions of the opinions. not 100% comfortable with "great rabbis" perhaps commentators or philosophers would have been better ?
