Bold text in a post, especially at the end, often indicates that it has been altered by a moderator. In this case, the moderator who directed the words you quote towards Crazybrit left part of the original post up in a manner confusing to new readers.
“When calamity befalls the Jewish People we ought to say…”
“Perhaps we should take David Hamelech’s advice…”
Perhaps. But Hashem did not tell us that calamities would befall
us for reasons that we would not understand. He did tell us, however, that they would happen as a result of our sins.
After all, why leave something explainable up to faith,
especially if there is a lesson that may be learned?
Now, Rav Miller himself did not publish the book, although
I assume he did not leave any instruction not to, but he did
not confine his opinion on the matter to that manuscript.
I will b’li neder post my understanding of his opinion later.
