Crescas solves the second problem by saying that the forbidden things are naturally bad. The punishment of the sinner is not a special act of divine providence to punish him, but rather the natural consequence of the sinner’s bad actions. At this point we can solve the first problem: according to Crescas, the goal of the Torah is to influence people to do right. The only way to influence someone to do something is to give him enough causes to do it. The Torah is only another cause that tries to influence humans to do good. It is also the reason why God punishes only the actions that are under the control of one’s choice and the will of humans. The aim of the retribution is to guide people towards doing what is right. According to this, aiming to punish other actions that are not under the control of humans will be inappropriate.
