I'm fully aware of what Jesus is saying here. He is saying that man would have reacted differently had God performed differently. It still does not mean that God's performance in the cases mentioned here are causative

Except a clear reading of the scripture says they were causative. IF God had CHOSEN to act differently they would have chosen to act differently .God knew that BUT He chose NOT to act in a way that would change their actions

His NON action was a causitive action

In a sense, you could argue that God's permission for an event 'caused' it, I suppose. However, when I speak of causation, I am referring to God necessitating an event. So, while God's action/inaction 'causes' an event in the sense of contingency--others react based upon His actions/inactions--this by no means implies necessity. They are not irresistibly compelled to act this way; this is the way they choose to act based upon God's actions.
