6h	comment	Why did God reveal himself only before there were recording devices? @DoubleAA the point is all public miracles God does only if there is a great necessity. perhaps the necessity here was that Yehoshua was going to divide the land of Israel for the tribes therefore there had to be no doubt that God was behind him. I'll leave it up to you. sometimes, God will do for a single person like saving Avraham from Ur Kasdim because of the simple necessity to keep him alive.

2d	comment	Significance of man relative to God point it is you wouldnt deem it worthy of your attention
2d	comment	Why did God reveal himself only before there were recording devices? those were part of the matan torah. since they were to show that Moshe was elected by God, and his appointment of Aharon was also by God ,something the nation was questioning. If Moshe was a false prophet, ch'v then the torah would also be invalid.

2d	comment	Why did God reveal himself only before there were recording devices? wouldn't this defeat free will?
2d	comment	Ten Commandments - which one is the greatest? vilna gaon says in even shlema that the last one "dont covet" includes all the other nine, which include the whole torah. histapkus, not to worry about tomorow is the entire torah
May 15	comment	How do we know that God exists? the questioner did not ask only for philosophical proofs
May 14	comment	Do non-jews have soul mates? chapter 3 in shaar bitachon says: He watches over and directs the lives of all men, He does not abandon any of them (from bestowing good or benefiting them according to their needs - Pas Lechem commentary). implies yes.
May 14	comment	What is the importance of Chiddush? It says in the Zohar parsha bereishis (forget the exact place but definitely there) that one who makes chidushim in torah creates worlds.
May 14	comment	the four foundations - fire, wind, water, earth @DoubleAA if this originates from Aristotle then what is it doing in the sefer yetzira which some attribute to Avraham who lived before Aritstotle?
May 13	comment	Why is Sha'ar Ha'Yichud of Chovos Ha'Levavos so “controversial”? source of the above comment: dafyomireview.com/article.php?docid=398#ch5
May 13	comment	Why is Sha'ar Ha'Yichud of Chovos Ha'Levavos so “controversial”? Some things are possible in mathematics, but are nevertheless impossible in reality. This is because mathematics is pure logic and logic is not truth. Logic is merely a tool which we use to investigate topics, but anything it has to say on the subject are from premisses which we supply. So what is logically possible depends on the premisses we adopt. If, for example, we start with the premise that an infinite set of numbers is reasonable than mathematics can take this and work with it logically, despite that the premise is impossible in actuality. Hawking is refuting from math not actuality.
May 13	comment	Is it considered Pikuach Nefesh if you break Shomer Negiah to give someone emotional comfort? it does nevertheless illustrate the gravity with which chazal took the subject of arayos even in the presence of pikuach nefesh
May 12	comment	Better for Man to Not have Been Created @DoubleAA found a source for you. The Shaar Bitachon ch.2 factor #7 - (7) That the person he trusts is absolutely generous and kind to those deserving and to those who are not deserving, and that his generosity and kindness is continuous, never ending and without interruption. (Tov Halevanon commentary: the most possible extreme of generosity and kindness... see there)
