Is God bound by rules?
The rabbi wrote several times that it is possible that God Himself is bound by rules, and that the laws of nature cannot be created in certain ways (I may have misunderstood, but that is how I understood it).
Doesn’t the fact that God is guided by strict rules force the existence of a higher-order God (or cause) who is not subject to laws?

That is, according to the rabbi, it is possible that a natural law that does not cause suffering is necessarily contradictory.
And given that we assume/prove that God exists, and assume/prove that He is good, necessarily making the existence of evil dependent on the fact that natural laws that do not cause evil are contradictory.
Did I understand correctly?
Yes.
To put it more correctly, there is no natural law that would produce all the results that exist today, only without the bad results. In any case, the demand to create such natural laws in the world is impossible (a more accurate term than ‘paradoxical’).
