With all due respect I disagree emphatically with the following statement
made in the last posting:
To put it another way: No, our ultimate goal is emphatically NOT to uncover the "truth". Rather our goal is to follow the rules, wherever they may take us.
I think it is obvious that our goal IS to uncover the truth as indicated by the following (just a fraction of supportive documentation):
Truth is a foundation of the life God created, and abandoning the truth in order to further one's own interests is tantamount to denying the very existence of God. Sanhedrin 92a
Kindness and Truth have met, Righteousness and Peace have kissed. Tehillim 85:11
Truth will sprout from earth, and Righteousness will peer from heaven.
Tehillim 85:12
Teach me, O Lord, Your way, that I may travel in Your truth...
Tehillim 86:11
May God, whose seal is truth and whose name is truth and whose Torah is truth, lead us in the path of truth that we may arrive at the truth, Amen. Teshuvah of the Radvaz 4, 1127
K.T.
