Torah among the Gentiles, do not believe.

“Believe wisdom among the Gentiles, but do not believe Torah among the Gentiles” –
A. What is the definition of Torah?
on. What do they mean when they tell us not to believe? Faith is not a black and white choice; because faith is a deep internalization of a certain idea. Right? So how do you choose whether to internalize? It’s simply a process that happens when you learn and connect with something, not binary.

A. A difficult question. I was trying to define Torah in the second book of my trilogy. Simply put, Torah is the will of God. B. This is just a rhetorical term. The meaning is that among the Gentiles you will not find Torah, that is, an understanding of God’s will. Incidentally, faith here (and in general) is not internalization but simply accepting something (as in the sense of believing in someone).

As far as I understand, "wisdom" means understanding the Scripture (of the Torah), while "Torah" is the oral Torah that is passed down through Kabbalah from person to person, and therefore it is possible to believe (accept, think) that a Gentile succeeded in understanding the Scriptures and I have something to learn from him, but it is not possible to believe that there is a Torah that was passed down through Kabbalah through a Gentile, meaning that it was forgotten by Israel and we received it exclusively from the Gentiles.

Regarding B. It's like if you reach and don't find it, don't believe it, if you reach and find it, believe it.
