God’s providence/intervention in the world
Peace, Your Honor,
I read and hear your words and hope that I am not mistaken in my understanding that, according to you, since there is a choice for man on the one hand and on the other hand there are natural rules that have been established since the time of creation, therefore if a person is sick, for example, with any disease, it is not a “punishment from heaven” but rather it is according to natural physiological processes, etc.
According to this basis of understanding, the Name is quite boring and has no influence in the current world…. This is in complete contrast to all the common language that everything is under private and general providence and nothing happens without the will of the Name.
Apparently – I have a secret
Can you settle for me?
thanks

Thank you, I mentioned choice as a matter in which God has no intervention whatsoever and it is a completely autonomous place for man, according to your words, even that which is outside of choice, meaning that everything else God has no influence whatsoever and everything is subject to laws established since the days of creation. Still, it is difficult to understand that God has no grip on the world. It is like saying, God finished His work at the time of creation, thank you and goodbye, He has no more interest here. So what is the meaning of "I gave your bodies to the newspaper Yore and Malkosh" etc. Apparently there is a mutual influence between our actions and the results in the world.
This has been discussed in many places here. Search here on the Divine Involvement in the World website.
