This is a great truth in life.  It’s true because it completely coincides with what the Bible teaches constantly.  God has created a universe of duality.  There are opposites of almost everything He created.  We have heaven and we have earth.  We have light and we have darkness.  We have good and we have evil.  We have day and we have night.  We have young and we have old.  We have male and we have female.  Nearly everywhere you look, you can see this duality in existence. 

     In the Torah we read about two types of people.  We have Israel or the Jewish people  and we have the nations (goyim) which is everybody else.  In the Book of Romans Paul likens these two as the “Jew and the Greek”.  When we read the book of Proverbs we read about two types of people.  There is the wise person and the foolish person.  Those are some of the most interesting proverbs to read.  Of course most of us like to think that we are wise and that other people might be foolish.  But those other people are probably thinking the same thing about themselves.  Everybody likes to think that they are wise and not foolish.    

     We all have the same amount of time during the day and how we arrange our schedule and allocate our time is indicative of what type of person we are.  You see this on the weekends in how people allocate their time.  Some people love to head to the golf course or their boat.  Some people love roaming around the shopping malls or go to the beach.  Some people are always there at their church or synagogue.  But most people couldn’t be dragged into a church or synagogue on the weekend.  They are a different type of people. 

     The people who come to the Torah Class on weekends are a different type of person than those who don’t.  I’ve invited many people I know to come and visit the Torah Class at least one time to see what it’s like.  Some people come but most people don’t.  They have an assortment of excuses to explain why.  They don’t have the time, it’s too far to drive, they don’t like driving at night or they can’t get up that early on Sunday.  If they are religious people, they often express an interest when they hear that it’s about the Bible.  But when they hear that it’s about the Old Testament their eyes kind of glaze over and their mind seems to drift away somewhat.  The Old Testament appears to have little place in their life.  They are a different type of person. 

      Our current internet statistics tell us that this website receives over 500,000 hits a month from all over the world and that we have around 200,000 different viewers who repeatedly view this website.  There are many websites on the internet to look at.  But we get emails from people all over the world telling us how much they enjoy and appreciate the teachings they find on this website.  They are a different type of person. 

      Jesus (Yeshua) often spoke about two types of people.  In Matthew 7 He spoke about two types of people who heard his sayings.  The one type who heard His sayings and did them was likened to a wise man who built his house upon a rock.  When the winds and floods came, the house didn’t fall.  But the other type who heard His sayings and did them not was likened to a foolish man who built his house upon the sand.  When the winds and floods came the house was blown away. 

      Jesus spoke about two gates to enter into.  One gate was wide and most people entered there, but it leads to destruction.  The other gate was narrow and few people entered there and it leads unto life.  Obviously He was again talking about two different types of people who chose different paths in life. 

      In Matthew 13 Jesus spoke about two types of people as good seed and tares (weeds).  The good seed were brought into the kingdom but the tares were cast into fire.   In Matthew 25 the two types of people were likened to sheep and to goats.  The sheep inherited the kingdom but the goats were sent into everlasting punishment.   Obviously Jesus believed that there are two types of people in the world, also. 

      So whenever I tell someone that there are basically two types of people in the world, I feel pretty confident that I’m correct.  I may not know who is who in every case.  But there will be a higher authority to make that determination.
