The local desires of God are limited by His global desire
to let us understand the laws of nature which He set up in
creating the universe.
Your notion of God is identical ot the Gnostic Deus Absconditus.

You have removed an important part of my posting.

But your first line tells a definitie tale. I can see in your words
pperhaps what you do not. Pre-existing notions often work that way.

It definitely is NOT. God can intervene, as His laws of
nature are not deterministic. BUT, for us to have mastery
over His physical universe, we cannot have miracles messing
up the behavior of the laws.

Part of "mastery" is to understand the limits of the "laws." Just as
mastery of societies requires. You speak -- in what to me smacks of
pagan conflicts - about nondeterminism, but then you undermine that
sentence over and over as if you do promote determinism.

There is much which can be
done to intervene without demonstrable miracles.

First, who said there was not? BUt you have these knee-jerk
assumptions abouit any opinion that smacks of tradiitonal Judaism --
whiah ALL of mine do -- so you AGAIN speak as if I am some "Frum Yid"
that you have a need ot mentally distance yourself from. I see it in
nearly every post you write.


Not quite YHWH of Sinai.

If one uses logical reasoning to the fourth clause of the
first commandment in the Torah, it is.

I cannot parse a totally abstract and conclusory remark. Nobody can.
You have to face THAT if you want to "master"
communication. All I have is your words, not what you assume is a
word meaning grid that DETERMINSITICALLY associates your thoughts with
them. To me they are just vague words. I do not share you dogmas.

Do you get that?

Even the rabbis
of Pirke Avoth had problems with miracles.

Apparently no, not at all. They thus listed numerous miracles that
occurred in the Temple.

Because you never cite to anything, nobody except you has any idea
what you are referring to. It is uncouth to force your reader to go
on an intellectual svaenger hunt.

I have no desire to indulge uncouthness.

The rest follows therefrom.
It follows as I have said.l

abstract assertion.
