Aug 7, 2016 at 17:54 comment added mevaqesh The vast majority of the minutia of halakha are the result of later authorities increasingly complicating things by continuously qualifying earlier laws. Whether or not God is to be blamed for the resultant product is debatable. Incidentally, the earlier authority one relies on, the simpler and more intuitive halakha is, and the less artificial parameters will be imposed on that which had hitherto been left to individual judgement.
Jan 20, 2014 at 2:29 comment added Baby Seal As far as the how of blessings and prayer, My Rabbi said to us in Yeshiva that the Men of the Great Assembly codified a standard prayer template, with the help of the last of the prophets, for an age of diminished spiritual wisdom and perception. Before then, people had the capacity to form their own heartfelt praises and prayers that were profound and true. We lack that capactiy, which is why we have the strict texts to say nowadays. They are essentially our divine enlightenment and 'prophecy'.
