Devarim 25:3 says:
Forty stripes he may give him, he shall not exceed; lest, if he
should exceed, and beat him above these with many stripes, then thy
brother should be dishonoured before thine eyes.
Rambam Sanhedrin 17:7 says:
Whenever a person sins and is lashed, he returns to his original
state of acceptability, as implied by the verse: "And your brother
will be degraded before your eyes." Once he is lashed, he is "your
brother." Similarly, all those obligated for *kerait* who received
lashes are absolved for *kerait*.
Question-
Does this mean that in shamayim (as well as here), it's as if he never
did the original sin? If not, how do we/HKBH view the individual pre
and post lashes?
