I don’t know why the Rebbe never got to meet Moshiach.

The Rebbe was as Moses to the Jews.  Moses in his righteousness never made it to the Promised Land, and the Rebbe of righteous memory never got to meet Moshiach.  Somehow, these two leaders both beloved, and both whom changed the course of history forever, died in the exile of idealism.  Noah was different.  Noah pled for no person, and Noah got to see the promised clean world.  Had Noah pled for anyone, he would have probably been Moshiach.  Noah had no nation, while differently Moses is the focal point of all that is Jewish in Judaism.  Had Moses loved other nations as much as the Jews, he probably would have been Moshiach.  With that in mind, perhaps the people in the Messianic age will find a version of living that is nationalism lite.  I specifically like www.chabad.org because it teaches nationalism lite.

Jesus makes it clear in Matthew 25 that salvation is by deeds, while Galatians 2 contradicts. How can these be reconciled?

Matthew reports (The Sheep and the Goats verses 31-46):

“The King will reply, ‘I tell you the truth, whatever deeds you did for the one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.”
For I was hungry and you did good deeds by giving me something to eat, I was thirsty and you did good deeds by giving me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in,…Take your inheritance, the kingdom
‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the fire,…’  For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat…


In Galations 2:21, Paul writes: “for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing.” And 2:16, “know that a man is not justified by observing the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ.”
