Arso as you say “Sorry, but you should really keep out of Torah sheb’al peh discussions between men”. I’m not arguing or discussing this anymore with you, think what you want. Believe that Yaacov is alive in his kever forever, believe that’s what Rashi is saying. Who cares.
Believe what you want. I believe that Yaacov is not physically alive in his kever, that Rashi is not contradicting a posuk in the Torah and i have not seen a mefoiresh saying that Rashi is saying that Yaacov’s guf is alive forever.
I did supply the posuk regarding Hashem not having a form. I’m not looking it up again, you can go back in the thread if you wish to see it.
I’m not going to argue with you regarding what you see in the Torah. The Christians also “see” corporeality of their gods in the Torah.
To say that God had a guf before the universe was created is so incredibly dumb because a physical guf is very limiting, the brain is limiting, the eyes are limiting, a being that can be contained in a guf cannot be היה הווה ויהיה, a being in a guf is not infinite, Hashem is infinite.
The third of the Rambam’s 13 principles of faith says that Hashem has no guf. The Rambam writes that when a person doubts [any] foundation among these foundations [i.e. his thirteen], he has left the community, denied the principle [i.e. God], and is called a min and a epikores and a cutter of shoots, and it is an obligation to hate him, and of him it is said “shall I not hate those who hate You, God”
You are just arguing for the sake of arguing with me. Why are you doing that? After all, you say I should “you should really keep out of Torah sheb’al peh discussions between men” so you shouldnt be arguing with me.
