[Avodah] proofs of G-d

[M Cohen]

RTK writes   ...... No, he cannot.  Hakol b'yedei Shomayim chutz miyir'as
Shomayim.  You can 

decide to do good, or decide to do evil, but whether  your plans succeed or
not 

is not in your hands....  

 

 

 

Although I rarely disagree with RTK, I have to point out that r Dessler in
MM vol 4 (section on bechira) explains (based on a Ramban) that sometimes
HaShem will let a person be killed/etc or not be killed solely based on the
bechira of another.

 

I.e. if the person will decide to kill you then HaShem will let you be
killed, and if the person decides not to kill you then you will not be
killed - it is not necessarily a case where the victim has been 'predefined
by HaShem' that they should be killed.

 

Ayain sham
