yitayningwut – Thank you for enlightening me. I saw that piece and certainly you were accurate with your paraphrase of the Rambam and what I have been saying is not in line with that. I will do as you suggested and discuss this with my rebbeim since it is a chiddush to me. I will only say that I do remember hearing about a different but similar topic which the Rambam discussed that when it comes to matters of philosophy, we don’t always hold like the Rambam (I am not talking about the allegations that he may have been influenced by Aristotle). Nonetheless, this is not my place to argue with him so I will leave it to my rebbeim. Seriously, though, thanks for the discussion. I appreciate it.
