“I am well aware of my limitations intellectually and spiritually. I harbor no illusions that I am a scholar (or even intelligent at all) and that I “know it all.” I am certainly aware that I (like anyone else) can make mistakes (although, I suppose, I’m about a trillion times more likely to make them than anyone else).”

On the Shabbos thread you said:

“I can’t foresee any set of circumstances where I will regret calling my wife and kids by nicknames.

I can’t foresee any set of circumstances where I could be convinced that Young Earth Creationism is correct*.

Either of the above causes one to lose their chelek in Olam HaBah according to many opinions.

There are other things as well, but those are the two that come to mind first.”

and this one as well

“If the Rambam wants to consign me to hell for that, then that’s fine. I’m willing to accept punishment for disobeying the Rambam. I value my relationship with my wife and kids that much.”

These are the kind of statements I would expect from someone who is well versed in Kol Hatorah Kulah and therefore he is so sure of himself that he can say such things.

I have cut and pasted some of the relevant parts of the Kav Hayashar. If you want to see the whole thing inside click the link I pasted.
