Ubiq and Joseph
Sorry I took the week off, I know you have been waiting for an answer with bated breath.
“also you have yet to explain (Ive asked this 3 times) why why you limit the bashert part to gun victims and not owners. PArticularly when you consider As Joseph says the Torah says Hayadayim yedei Eisav, leave the guns to Eisav, and if your time is up no gun in the owrld can save you.
why the double standard?”
Actually, I have repeatedly drawn a distinction between personal behavior and death in the broader sense because the gemarrah does so repeatedly. I am willing to bet you haven’t looked at my sources (mishlei and chaggiga) As I have probably now said 5 times personal fortune can change when engaged in risky behavior. The gemarrah in chagiga deals with a question from a tanna to the malach hamuves on how it was possible for the MH to “reap” the wrong soul (he had made a mistake and had taken the wrong mary magdelan). The MH replied that she was engaged in risky behavior at the time. Yet he still owed her the missing years and the gemarrah discusses how he awarded the missing years to a talmid chachum and they split the scar torah.
As for using Joseph’s point and you using it as a question
I’m sorry but Joseph’s point was completely mitigated by my response (and you will note how neither he nor you bothered to answer me)
The sword may be kli eisav
so why did Hashem tell us to go up armed from mitrayim (rashi on “chamushim”)?
and why did he tell us to fight for our land instead of handing it to us on a silver platter?
