“Sam Klien – you are playing with the word “dependent” on others besides Hashem. Hashem gives us life, yet you “depend” on your food to live. Would you die without food?”
After two days you serve up this nice softball to Sam Klein? Had Bnei Yisroel not complained about the lack of food and water in the midbar, they would have had no need to eat or drink. We see this by the fact that they never complained about their clothing, and their garments never wore out in 40 years. כִּי לֹא עַל-הַלֶּחֶם לְבַדּוֹ יִחְיֶה הָאָדָם–כִּי עַל-כָּל-מוֹצָא פִי-ה’, יִחְיֶה הָאָדָם
Also, I think Sam Klein or an alias of his has stated in the past that he fasts each and every single day because of our terrible, terrible generation of which he’s ashamed to be a part, yet he continues to post on the CR.
“But the two dependencies are not identical.”
Exactly. But it is precisely the blurring of the lines between these two “types” of dependency that have caused consternation with some elements of Chabad. And your whole purpose in this troll thread is to willfully obfuscate this issue.
