(You didn't mention Eikhah this time.)<br /><br />However, see also pp 50-52 where I argue that it is equally valid to argue that Hashem rewards or punishes in response to the person's action. Rather than setting up a causal system. It's just a matter of perspective. Since Hashem is outside of the flow of time, the difference between saying He set something up during creation or performs acts during the course of the timeline is a matter of which angle of looking at things is more useful for a given question. The reality, as with most theological question, is beyond human comprehension. We just have approximating models. At times, those models will contradict.micha bergerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11612144735431285113noreply@blogger.com
