Gavra,
I don’t see any reason why the RBSO could not expect us to follow the rules as put out by Him, to whatever conclusions that those rules lead us. In fact, that is the core of what “Lo BaShomayim He” requires from us.
I don’t see how that shtims with your agreement with me on point “a”.
I think we are splitting hairs. One can believe (and that requires the exclusion of all other possibilities), while still noting that if not for the belief, the hypothetical possibility of the opposite of such belief does exist. That does not make the opposite belief “legitimate”.
Agreed. The fact that I think His non-corporeality isn’t even hypothetically true is not related to the argument at hand. It’s a side point.
PAA,
and therefore it becomes impossible to have emuna sheleima in any disputed matter
Correct, which is the point which proves you wrong, since Hashem does not demand the impossible from us. Again, ??? ????? ???? ??? ?? ??????? ?? ???????.
I think DaasYochid and I actually agree on something – namely the impossibility of completely believing something you simultaneously acknowledge as not necessarily true.
Absolutely, we’re just drawing vastly different conclusions.
