“Freak accident” “Tree Randomly Falls On Car”
Total kefira. So you’re saying there is no hashgacha pratis?! Stuff happens?! Even by a goy, everything is with precise hashgacha pratis.
Wow! Double kefira in one headline! Some Yeshiva World this is.
Accident by definition means “Randomly”, it means nobody (in this world) plotted anything against anyone else.
my thoughts exactly not getting involved- freak=kefir
@Not getting involved
Thanx for getting involved – took it away from me
You “not getting involved” just got involved and started saying that Yeshiva World is saying Kefira!!
Are you serious it’s obviously from Hashem and it’s all precisely planned just it’s still a freak accident to the human brain. It’s not a normal thing to happen. I’ll ask you a question: Do trees usually fall and kill people? Exactly the answer is no! It’s just facts that it’s random that doesn’t contradict that Hashem planned it to happen. Everyone agrees there is common and uncommon things that happen in the world and nothing to do with being kofar! Shame on you for just bashing Yehsiva World and name yourself Not Getting Involved!
To Not getting involved:
I think that in order to make sure that our non-Jewish friends, that they don’t get even slightly insulted, maybe we can relate to them as Non-Jewish. A non-Jewish person once told me, that even the word “Gentile”, they are not too excited about.
“Non-Jewish” sounds pretty friendly.
Not getting involved:
The headline is still true. It is still a “freak accident”, as in something that almost never happens. No, they’re not saying there’s no hashgacha pratis, CH”V.
There are also different levels of hashgacha pratis throughout the world/creations.
So who died? the driver or the passenger?
Yet another journalistic stira…
Dear “Not getting involved”, i agree! but you really expected to see hashem from news outlets albeit yeshiva world news? do you think its isn’t gotten from other goyishe news outlets and blogs ect.? FRUM NEWS IS A BEDIEVED to fight the alternatives!!! why ARE you “getting involved”😄! stay in the yeshiva!
What a stupid reply…..
We’re not so into the religion of randomness controlling our lives… more into the Aibeshter…
Now I will have extra layer of kavana when I say Eitz Chaim Hee LA’MACHAZIKIM BA. The eitz should always be an eitz chaim.
i hope “nebuch” laughed! atleast a chesed laugh!!! 😀
Trees don’t target goyim “randomly”.
