Alright, folks, let’s dive into today’s Tanya tidbit! We’re talking about creation – not just any creation, but the big one, the one where God said “Let there be light!” and boom – there was light!
Now, imagine you’re a sculptor, right? You take a big chunk of marble and you chip away at it until, BAM! You’ve got David. Impressive? Sure. But did you create the marble? Nope! You just rearranged it.
That’s where these heretics, these “minim,” get it wrong. They think God’s creation is like that, just rearranging stuff. But God doesn’t need stuff! He created everything from nothing, like pulling a rabbit out of a hat, but without the hat!
They get hung up on miracles like the splitting of the sea – cool, right? But even that miracle, God used wind, something He already created! Creation itself, that’s the ultimate magic trick, folks! And that’s what we’ll be unpacking tomorrow. Stay tuned!
