Patur Aval Assur,

You are, after all, asserting the existence of something beyond human comprehension which pretty much makes it undiscussable. What you are essentially saying is that it is because it is and you just have to accept it even though it can’t be explained.

Yes, I think this is a good summary of my position, although I do think that there are “projections” of the incomprehensible into the comprehensible (i.e., the Torah, Beis Hamikdash, prophets), which makes it possible to believe yet still be rational. Our ability to see these “projections” has been greatly reduced due to golus, however.

So would you agree with this summary:

Patur Aval Assur: There is a conundrum etc. etc.

Avram in MD: There is an answer.

I think that is a good summary.

In fact I commend you for actually putting thought into, and composing lengthy responses

Thank you, that is very kind. And thank you for engaging patiently in this debate; I find/found it quite interesting.
