The premise has to be true since Torah can't contradict Torah.

As for specific examples, I'm not going to go through the whole Chassidus and all Ma'amorei Chazal to iron out that which people conceive as discrepancies.
If there is something specific which you see as discrepancy, feel free to post it here (or maybe better in a dedicated thread) and I'm sure someone will able to explain.
im not really interested in getting a beating here for my issues so don't kill me for what I'm about to say. With that hakdamah how is it possible that there's a time during the year that there's an "issur" to learn Torah and rather have a party? Isn't there a passuk that says that you need to learn day and night? Vhamevin yavin. The list goes on but that's just the beginning. Hey listen there's a whole biography on the gra which has a designated chapter for his fights against chassidus. Then again they might not sell it in their stores because they don't want anyone to know it ever happened

I'm assuming he's referring to "nittel nacht"

why is that chassidus? the chasam sofer and many other non chasidim write about it IINM. to be fair, i dont understand it nor is it my minhag either.

still not much of a complaint on chasidim, unless you think the chasam sofer also did things not in line with the torah...

Not saying this pertains to all but to a good chunk... not caring about zmanim of tefillah. I'm not referring to shkiya which is a different issue.

Ma Kesher?!? I know a litvishe guy that learns daf-yomi and eats cholov akum and shaves his beard r"l, does that make gemara not a part of Torah?

you mean chalav stam? Where is any of the above against halacha without a good basis to be based on?

1. You are mixing up "wrong" actions with the study of Torah that these people do. Just because they act in a way that you (as opposed to גדולי ישראל אמתיים, צדיקי עליון ) feel is against halacha, does not mean that something they study is suddenly not part of Torah.
2. On regards to it being "wrong", see parentheses above. Much stronger basis than cholov akum and shaving. No real people in pre-war Europe did that, ch"v

Let's get this straight. You ae saying that ignoring zmanei tfila has a stronger basis than misparayim k'ein ta'ar? Can you elaborate?

As far as "real people" in pre-war Europe, you are either totally ignorant or we are back to no true scotsman.

you gotta study history
and halacha

a) You're wrong. The Chofetz Chaim wrote an entire sefer decrying the fact that so many people were using razors to shave.

b) Even if you were right, there was no mirsas in Europe nor were there electric shavers. So it makes zero halachic sense to compare the two when the metzius is completely different.

Could it be that he was misled?

see for example: http://old2.ih.chabad.info/images/notimage/66250_he_1.pdf

Also, don't forget that he didn't have the benefit of over 200 years of history, on which he could have based his judgment, he might have only been assuming outcomes.

Can we get back on topic here? Take this conversation to the halacha thread or something.

So is that what they mean when they say circular logic?
In order to understand recursion, one must first understand recursion.
Workflowy. You won't know what you're missing until you try it.
