To the group
It’s time to end Shmei’s latest obfuscation attempt. Here’s a question for all, “There are two opinions regarding Iyov. One says he was an advisor to Pharoah and the other says he never existed. So who’s right?” Time is up. They’re both right. It’s called Eilu Veilu Divrei Elokim. Similarly we have in this thread the rational approach espoused by Philosopher and I, and the irrational tack favored by the serpent. Each is valid. I have a friend who’s a Chassidic Rabbi on the East Side. He constantly tells stories about Rebbe’s flying on magic carpets. Hey whatever floats your boat, but it’s not for me. The rational approach isn’t perfect. There’s much in the Torah that we can’t explain or understand but remember what Benedict ARSo wrote, “We don’t die from a question.” On the other hand the danger of blindly following the irrational is that a new religion called Chabadianity has emerged.
