sam2 – huh ? we’re not more logical than the rishonim – and therefore what ? Do you learn ? When we learn, we question what the rishonim say – and then try to gain deeper understanding.

My point about sources was just that – when you see something from a rishon, it can cause you to shut down you’re thinking and just accept it, without realizing that your understanding may be superficial, and there are difficulties you haven’t dealt with.

As I wrote earlier, according to what we understand, the idea that you can do something contrary to G-d’s will just doesn’t make sense. And indeed, I quoted R’ Dessler as one who refused to take this at face value, and offered an interpretation.
