The Garden of Emunah (flawed), (גן של אמונה (פגום

In this video, "The Age of the World and More", Rabbi Yossi Mizrachi started lecturing about the age of the world, but in the middle of the video at 25:22 minutes into it, Rabbi Mizrachi talks about one serious flaw in the book "Garden of Emunah" authored by Rav Shalom Arush of Breslov Israel, whose works have been translated into English by Rabbi Lazer Brody.

The flaw is that "Everything that happens in the world is ratzon Hashem, so now my beloved brethren, now when you make that horrible sin, after you made it, you should know that it is ratzon Hashem, that Hashem also wants you to do it."  Rabbi Mizrachi stresses that this statement is VERY DANGEROUS, because Hashem doesn't want us to do aveiros, but the shitah of Breslov is that in order to prevent sinners from sinking further into depression after committing a sin, and the depression prevents the sinner from doing any more mitzvos, Rav Arush permitted writing such nonsense, which contradicts the entire Torah.  But it's very dangerous. So, readers, beware.
