Prayer
A. Good week, you know that there is no divine intervention today, and the reason you advocate this is because there is no indication that there is intervention. The question is whether to take into account that in reality today, if it were possible to verify divine intervention in creation, the election would actually be nullified. Oh, he says today, if God intervenes, he really must hide it.
You wrote about the sermons of the legend of Chazal, which are just pomp and they don’t really have evidence in their sermons for the conclusions they draw. It’s very strange that they would say things and conclusions that are not true, something that wise people don’t do even today. The real wise people don’t do that. And it also seems that they actually brought out foundations and things about the court of heaven and the resurrection of the dead, and also about history, not necessarily things that are confirmed, but it really seems that they had a way of drawing conclusions in a way that is instructive.
We are still waiting for you to explain to us the difference between sermons on Halacha and agdah.
A. Even if you were right, I don’t know what to do with it. So I have to believe in things that have no basis? And you are wrong. In a time when there was divine involvement and prophets, it didn’t stop people from sinning and choosing between good and evil quite freely.
B. On the contrary, I showed in that column that even great sages do this to this day, and therefore there is no reason to assume that the Sages did not do it. Indeed, in my opinion it is not nice what they do, but the fact is that everyone does it.
C. When I turn around I will change this chapter.
A Thank you very much for the answer. I did not ask you to believe that is why I asked if the matter was taken into consideration. Regarding what happened during the time of the prophets, which was miracles and there was a choice against it, there was a tendency to worship idols, but
You must admit that today if there were miracles that could be clearly tested in a laboratory, the world would be completely different.
B Even today, there is no sage who demands in the style written in the Torah, such as that Yoav ben Zeruiah struck Abner, so they demand a complete sermon that he asked him many halachic questions. Unfortunately, I do not have examples at the moment, but what I remember is that people today may say unrelated things, but do not add events that did not exist, while Chazal in their sermons actually demand stories, additions, and people who do not need a story, and do not even add reverence for God, such as that David followed Abigail all night and she accused him of a crime. In short, the experts on the site will come and provide examples in abundance.
Is there anyone on the forum who can help me find examples?
