Yekke – Regarding the sources you brought about the punishment being for the result and not the bechira, are you referring to Beis Din Shel Maaleh or Beis Din Shel Mateh? I was referring to Beis Din shel Maaleh, and I think you were referring to Beis Din to Mateh. Is that the case?
Regarding Beis Din Shel Mateh (if that is what you meant), I don’t think the original question is relevant. The idea that Hashem is continually recreating the world is an esoteric (I hope I’m using the word correctly) concept that has no place in Beis Din shel Mateh. That is also why Beis Din shel Mateh can only punish you for the result of the action and not the bechira.
I also wonder if that may be one of the problems with your questions in the first place (although I’m not 100% sure). The idea that Hashem is continually recreating the world is a kabbalistic concept, and it seems to me that you may be taking it too literally (but again, I may be wrong about that).
