So, rosends, are you saying that in reality, the Source of Reality mentioned in the Torah DOESN'T care deeply about human affairs and is NOT intimately involved in human existence and experience? But wants it to appear to humans that he is and that he does? And that he or it is only involved in human existence and experience merely because... he chooses to be?
Not to speak for rosends but what is being said is that all the words anyone chooses to use are simply examples for our own sake. The actions of Hashem show what his intentions, if you want to call them that, are towards Israel and the entire world. I.e.
1. By creating the universe and humanity within it, Hashem is involved in existance. If Hashem wasn't reality would not exist and wouldn't remain.
2. By giving the Torah to Israel after bringing Israel out of a Egypt we humans can define that as "Hashem cares for human affairs." Again, care is such a limiting word.
3. Hashem, understanding His creations, knew that the Torah needed to be written in the language of Jewish humanity. Otherwise no Jew would understand any of the information Hashem wanted to transmit in the Torah and the Mitzvoth.
4. Hashem created a system that humanity could benefit and receive the good of reality from by way of the Torah for the Israeli/Jewish people and the 7 Mitzvoth for non-Jews.
5. Hashem created a situation where humanity is free to accept the above or reject and thus receive what we really want out of that choice.
5. The reality is that Hashem is beyond humanity by magnitudes that we can't even calculate. YET, we know the Torah provides enough of the language necessary for Jews to be able to do the will of Hashem within reality.
6. Similar to how an ant has only a certain amout of tools to define, describe, and deal with the reality of humans - we as humans only have a certain amount of tools to define, describe, and deal with the reality of the Source of all reality. We humans are only certain magnitudes beyond ants - YET Hashem is magnitudes so far above/beyond humanity that we can't even calcuate it - no different than how we can't currently quantify fully dark matter.
The same way that a person on earth can't quantify fully a chemical process that is taking place on Jupiter, because of our limited scope of that planet. We know it is there, we know it exists, but the planet we are in comparison is so small compared to that we are limited in what we can say about it. If that is the case for a planet in our solar system, how much more for a planet not in our solar system. If that is the case for something not in our solar system - how much for the Source of universal reality which way above that by magnitudes we can't even calculate.
What Torath Mosheh Jews can say comes from the Torah that Hashem gave and from the Nevi'im that Hashem transmitted information to. With that there is a philosophical debate that has existed of - based on what we know how exactly does that work? This is a philosophical debate and it is something that is often problematic because of "human language" is often not enough.
Again, I will stress -
What Torath Mosheh Jews can say about Hashem comes from the Torah that Hashem gave and from the Nevi'im that Hashem transmitted information to. How much of that descriptions can be considered metaphor and how much is not, is a debate for some of them. YET, it can really only happen in the langauge of the Torah in Hebrew - the langauge that Hashem gave the Torah in. Otherwise, foreign linquistic concepts are being employed and even more lacking.
Thus, the point that Rabbi Sa'adya Gaon, Rabbi Hai Gaon, Rav Bahhya ben Pequdah, Rabbi Yehudah Halewi, Rabbi Ibn Ezra, Rambam, Rabbi Avraham ben-Rambam, Rabbi Mosheh Hayyim Luzzatto, etc. were making is that in reality the language of humanity is only able to provide us with reletive examples in our understanding. At some point we can't really fully grasp Hashem while being limited by time and our physical bodies that are bound by time. No different than how I can't describe to someone the day to day events of one billion years when I won't even live that long. The Torah was given to Israel to give us a language with which to discuss concepts that we can relate to in regards to our interactions with Hashem.
