Shabbas laws on lighting a fire
I must say this is on assignment for me to look up more. But it is my knowledge that one is not permitted to light a fire on the shabbas IN HIS OR HER HOME. This is the distintion I think. If you light a fire in your own home or extinguish the flame, you are in fact essentially telling God that he is not in control of your home. If you do this your home has a new light inside its borders or walls and is in fact a home that has escaped per se from the trust that God has handed you in life. If you escape God's trust how can you indeed enjoy the day that you were given. This is shabbas and it requires that you be good and believe in a True God. Truth is paramount. But that said, if you accidentally light a flame in your house all is not lost. But if thats your shabbas duty that you do in fact do, you have no trust in God to make the laws. I say that you can in fact light the flame outside your walls and doors but thats because if you are not in your home, God is watching over your house in your absence. So if you want to light a flame in the vicinity of your garden or your front yard, that by this thought process is fine. So this means you can drive a car that has gas to burn as well. So this is where I am today. I did blog earlier that I did not like to burn anything on shabbas. Maybe by this right you might be able to fly on shabbas. I must report that I never felt that God was angry that we were in the air on shabbas. Just our people. And our people are not our Creator. Just possibly a confused group of children who may or may not haver every truly 'gotten' it. After all, the ChaBaD does not even regard the law in Leviticus that requires man to grow his side curls long or at least not round off the corners of your scalp to be "the Law". That is what their emissary has told to me and he shaves his head clean. That to me is paganism and I will do what the law says, maybe not what the rabbi says. The torah did not say wait until there are rabbis to tell you what to do on your souls day off. It says keep my laws and why would God make his laws ambiguous. I will keep the laws as I see fit and thats that. Good day. Good shabbas!
