question
There are all kinds of sayings of the sages, “3 God, blessed be He, proclaims them every day.. The single man is on the path of the righteous and does not sin, and whoever transgresses his limits, all his sins are passed on to him.
What is their origin? From Sinai? Is this probably true or is it just an opinion? There is a practical question here, knowing that God, the Holy One, declares to you every day whether you are single and do not sin, but from a rational point of view, is this even true? I gave an example. There are of course dozens and hundreds of such sayings.

There are several types of such statements. There are claims about God’s attitude towards actions. In my opinion, these are a type of preaching and exhortation to act correctly. Instead of saying act thus and thus, they say that whoever does so and so, God will do XYZ for him (tie him crowns, give him a male child, etc.). No person can truly know what God does to a person, and therefore, in my opinion, this is the meaning of these statements.
Hadar is a noble man and does not sin. This is a virtue that everyone understands. What is attached to it is already a matter of the glory of the recommendation.
But even if you take these statements as factual claims, you need to understand that this is not always the case. Rabbi Elchanan Wasserman gives the example of the one who makes a distinction over the cup that contains male sons. If you make a distinction, this gives you the right to have male sons. But there may be opposing considerations that ultimately prevent you from accepting the male sons (for example, not being careful about vows when your sons die).

Instead of saying act thus and thus, they say that whoever does so and so, God will do XYZ for him (tie him crowns, give him a male child, etc.). No person can truly know what God does to a person, and therefore, in my opinion, this is the meaning of these statements.
Hadar is a noble man and does not sin. This is a virtue that everyone understands. What is attached to it is already a matter of the glory of the recommendation.
But even if you take these statements as factual claims, you need to understand that this is not always the case. Rabbi Elchanan Wasserman gives the example of the one who makes a distinction over the cup that contains male sons. If you make a distinction, this gives you the right to have male sons. But there may be opposing considerations that ultimately prevent you from accepting the male sons (for example, not being careful about vows when your sons die). On this logic, see my article on validity:

There are several types of such statements. There are claims about God’s attitude towards actions. In my opinion, these are a type of preaching and exhortation to act correctly.
