Question

I see that the Rabbi says (a number of times) that the definition of God is: whatever He says must be done. And the example the Rabbi gives for this is moral laws: if a person says, “I understand that it is immoral to murder, but why not murder?” then he apparently does not understand what he is saying.
And in my opinion that is really not correct, because a person can understand what is moral and what is not, and still think that morality is not binding (just as the Rabbi also argues that morality in itself is not binding if there is no God).
 
And the Rabbi’s proof from the fact that judges in the Torah are called “god(s),” because the definition of a judge is “someone whose word must be obeyed,” seems very puzzling to me for two reasons.
A. Because in my opinion a judge is only an authority to determine whether it will be permitted to use a certain amount of force against you (such as imprisonment, extracting money, etc.), so that if you do not listen to him, you will be punished.
B. The Rabbi himself says that only the “Creator of the world” may be “obeyed just because He said so,” and that if one relates this way to any other entity, that is idolatry in the strictest sense.
So doesn’t that somewhat contradict what the Rabbi said? Because according to the Rabbi’s definition, it would seem that the Torah obligates idolatry.
 
P.S.
I’m sorry that I’m writing everything in the third person—it’s stronger than me 😉
And I wanted to say thank you very much to the Rabbi for all the lectures that have made me much wiser in many areas, with an extraordinary ability to explain.
It is really not something to be taken for granted that the Rabbi invests so much, records, and uploads everything to YouTube, so really, a huge thank you 🙏
