Wolf, Rabbis over the centuries have debated the paradoxes of Chazal’s words. The Torah is full of secrets that still need to be discovered.
There are answers to these questions and if one explores the subjects thoroughly one can find the answers. Let’s take for example the question of Iyov. Did he exist or didn’t he? Here’s my opinion on Chazal’s seemingly condradiction. As far as I know, Iyov wasn’t Jewish, but he was a tzaddik so I’m not sure if the term lhavdil should be used in this case but I will use it just in case it should. L’havdil eilef alfei alofim Yoshke, is considered the “messiah” in the Christain religion. Did Yoshke exist? Definitely. But he was a mere mortal and not the “messiah” as the Christian’s claim. Therefore, he existed but he did not exist as the being the Christian’s claim he was.
This explains Chazal’s contradiction. Iyov existed. He probably did suffer tremendously. But in other ascriptions that were attributed to him, he did not exist.
There are answers to our questions. However, there is a fine line that one must watch not to cross and that is the boundry of knowing that as humans it is simply impossible to know all the answers. We can try to find answers but there are things that we will never know the answer to because we are mere mortals.
In Judasim it is healthy to ask and think, there’s no need to act like robots, on the other hand we must realize our limitations.
