Rabbi Tovia Singer Discredits the Doctrine of Original Sin and Reveals Nudity's Significance in Eden

- According to a core doctrine of Christian theology, humanity’s sinful state resulted from the "Fall of Man." This hopeless condition has been characterized by the Church as a “sin nature” of all humans through collective guilt. This teaching is based primarily on the epistles of Paul and the writings of Augustine. What does the Torah really state about the events in the Garden? In this fascinating broadcast, Rabbi Tovia Singer responds to the core Christian Claim that mankind inherited man’s sinful nature and is forever severed from God as a result of the “Original Sin.”
Moreover, Rabbi Tovia Singer tackles mysteries in the Creation Account in the Book of Genesis. While its stories are deeply familiar to us, their meaning often seem shockingly elusive. What are we to make of the relationship between our first parent’s knowledge of good and evil and their awareness of their nudity? Why did God provide skins for our first parents? In this show, Rabbi Singer takes you on a journey of discovery into the text - revealing layers of meaning that are both startling and profound.

Born and raised fundamentalist Christian, became atheist. Yet your teachings tug at my heart.
@Abraham Mani So says "your" book. Now, what about the Book of Mormon, or the Quran? Just because your book backs up your own belief doesn't prove a single thing.
@@stevenmyers3647 See 'The Law of Best Evidence'. It states the the original document or the version that is closest to the original carries the most weight.
brought me to tears brother
two months removed from Christianity after 45 years plus the first 19 years of my life thrust in Catholicism
but from a child I was seeking my Father I knew He was right above me I knew He was close
I'm eternally grateful to you Tovia and bless you in The Name of The Most High
*John Francis:* I'm SO glad to know that you escaped the clutches of false, pagan Christianity - especially Catholicism!! Usually Catholics are so deeply entrenched and indoctrinated in their beliefs that they won't entertain the thought that their religion is pagan, and not from God! You must have TRULY wanted to learn God's ACTUAL Truth, and that's the ONLY circumstances under which He will open a person's eyes to His Truth, since He forces Himself on nobody! I'm SO happy for you! May Hashem continue to bless and guide you in all that you do, as you learn about His Truth!! 😊
Wow, John, your story sounds almost like mine. Raised a Catholic. Decided to read the entire Bible at 21 and subsequently became a protestant. At 45 became a Messianic Jew. Learned Hebrew at 46. Left Christianity for good at 51. Praise HaShem!
In a Christian questioning my belief. It feels like sinning just by questioning but I'm in search of the truth no mater how much it hurts
Look bro, there some doctrine that doesn't biblically add up, like the Trinity, law being abolish on the cross, and original sin. But that doesn't disprove the teachings of the annottied Yeshua.
If you are searching for the truth that means that deep down you know that Jesus is not true nor right.
@@voiceInDetroit Jesus abolished the law (sermon on the mount). That's all I need to see that he is not Moshiach. And no, Jesus did not "elevate" or "fulfill" the law, it is stated that he came to turn families against each other. That is not the role of Moshiach. And lastly, the fact that he is to "return" to fulfill the things he didn't should be the biggest red flag ever.
That's like me claiming i'm Moshiach and if I were to do miracles (which is not the signs you should be looking for in Moshiach), and claim that I were to return there would be no difference between me and Jesus.
May HaShem bless you and your family!
Steve Miller The sermon on the mount (essentially) states that if one even thinks of adultery, then they have committed it in their heart. And also that if someone loses their “saltiness” which resembles goodness, then they can no longer be salty, or good.
This is not found in the Jewish scriptures. More over, Paul elaborates on this idea and says that because of this exact reason, no one can do good, so no one can follow the laws of the Torah, therefore no one can come to G-d on his own accord. And that is why you need the blood of Christ to come to G-d and to be able to live a righteous life. I hope I am not misrepresenting his ideas because I grew up christian in a protestant church.
My point is that Deuteronomy 30:11-17 clearly talks about this exact situation.
We are able to keep the law, it is not far, and that G-d has set before us life and good, and death and evil. It is for us to choose to either do good or evil. This leaves no room for the blood of christ to atone for us, because we just simply don’t need it. And verse 17 also states that if we don’t do good we will go astray worship other deities.
So at the end of the day, the sermon of the mount presents a problem, the fact that we can’t keep torah. This idea is anti-semitic.
If you still have any questions feel free to continue the conversation. I hope that you may be able to see the point in why Jews do not accept the teachings of Jesus and Paul.
Steve Miller Interesting version there, I do disagree on your interpretation of the verses however. Matt 5:27-28 says looks to lust after her, or in more simpler terms, looks at a woman lustfully. This is indeed a willful act, but let’s say I have this desire, I see a very “hot” girl and start thinking about what things I could do with her and really REALLY want to follow through with these desires. According to this verse, I have sinned. But according to Jewish scriptures, I have not sinned, not that these thoughts are good but if I realize how wrong these thoughts are and NOT follow through with these thoughts, then I have not sinned.
But this verse has no room for realizing your wrong, it says that once you think and desire, it’s over, you sinned. This idea is not in the Jewish scripture.
Secondly, Matt 5:13 says it is no longer fit but to be cast out. I think this is very clear in saying your saltiness is gone and that’s it.
Ezekiel is all about making the wicked repent so they may become righteous again. This idea also is not compatible with the new testament, but that’s not the point.
The point is that the sermon on the mount states that Jesus came not to abolish, but he teaches things that are against the Jewish scriptures. These things cannot be reconciled.
So let me recap
NT: If you willfully think about adultery, you have sinned, even if you have not actually committed the adultery
Jewish scriptures: If you think willfully about adultery but turn from these thoughts and ways, you are righteous
NT: You are the salt of the world, if you deviate from the right path, you lose your salt, and that’s it, you are no longer fit to salt food
Jewish scriptures: You are the light of the world, if you deviate from the right path, then repent and turn from your ways. If you do, then you are forgiven and you are considered righteous. If you continue down the evil path then you will be considered wicked BUT you will always have the option, and you are urged to, repent and turn from your ways.
I hope you see the difference between these two views. Of course this isn’t the entire sermon but the sermon states that Jesus came to fulfill the scriptures, these verses that he teaches go against the Jewish scriptures. Are you able to see this?
Former Christian now Muslim and listen to you for history and guidance. Thank you
Nobody pays for another's sin. We don't pay for the sins our father did. God's mercy is all encompassing. For someone to have to die to atone for anothers sins...is to take away from God's majesty. And breaks the whole concept of faith.
So why all the needless and cruel animal sacrifices in Old Testament times?
@@waynehampson9569: Animal sacrifices were ONLY for UN-intentional sins, and the practice was instituted by God. He doesn't tell us the reasons for every command He gives us. But He does expect obedience from us. NEVER did God tell us to offer HUMAN BLOOD (a purely pagan ritual hat God ABHORS!) as atonement for our sins.
@Johnny Appleseed: You are using a corrupted Christian Bible, so of course you don't know the meaning of Isa. 53! NOWHERE did God ever say this to us! Also, NOWHERE did God tell us to expect ANY FURTHER SCRIPTURES after Mt. Sinai (making "Christianity" CORRUPT, and NOT from God!), since He specifically told us that the words that He gave to us there are ETERNAL (i.e. STILL in effect and binding TODAY - a LIVING document!) and that we are NOT to follow ANY OTHER TEACHING than what is in those Hebrew scriptures. "Christianity" IS another teaching, therefore, we are NOT to follow what it teaches - God's orders! PLEASE do some honest research on this subject and learn from the Rabbis, as commanded by God in Deut. 17:8-11. In the absence of the Temple, the Rabbis are our spiritual teachers, since they have been studying the Hebrew scriptures all the way back to Mt. Sinai.
Please buy yourself a Hebrew Bible (says "TANACH" on the cover) and Rabbi Tovia Singer's 2-vol. set of books "Let's Get Biblical - Why Doesn't Judaism Accept the Christian Messiah?", which is an encyclopedic work that shows us the vast differences between Judaism and Christianity, and the multitude of ways in which Christianity has blasphemously raped and bastardized the original Hebrew scriptures given to us by God at Mt. Sinai.
@Johnny Appleseed: This is NOT what the ETERNAL Hebrew scriptures say! PLEASE see my previous reply to you.
@Johnny Appleseed: Uhhh....NO, you DIDN'T get that garbage from the "Hebrew Tanakh"[sic]! The Christian "OT" and "Brit Chadasha" are NOT the Tanach - they are blasphemous, mistranslated, bastardized, distorted TRANSLATIONS that DID NOT come from God! Nice try, but 'NO CIGAR', as it were!
It's incredible how much wisdom and mercy is in the Torah. Thank you for sharing this for us to find.
Thank you Rabbi ! Every day I listen and learn.
Rabbi Tovia i so knowledgeable and explains things in such simple way, it all make perfect sense. You are the best. Learning so much from you.
Thanks again Rabbi❤ life is getting better by the day, thanks to youre teachings. I never liked Paul😅a arrogant man. I believe G'd and His Words. Not Pauls word
Paul is a completely evil fictional character
If the first "sin" was so completely unforgivable, unpardonable, and the like, the rest of the Scriptures need not have been written. Humankind would have been done for and forgotten. Of course not so the case. We always have the chance to repent and change and follow commandments. Thank you for this informative lecture Rabbi Singer.

@@HAB49 Funny how Jesus never showed up in India or China or Africa or the Americas or Persia or Australia.... yet expects everyone to magically and instinctively know about him? If that were true... there would be no need to send out missionaries.....everybody already knows about Jesus. Big flaw in your logic.
@@HAB49 which Jesus are you referring to? There are upwards of 30000 different denominations, each with their own peculiar theology and different Jesus.
@@voiceInDetroit Gen 3:15 has nothing to do with the promise of the Messiah.
@@voiceInDetroit Really? So Jesus endorses The Book of Mormon? ... and the other associated Mormon texts...and... at them same time he also endorses the Jehovah's witnesses beliefs? He endorses Catholicism while at the same time gives his blessing to Protestants?...even though they dont even believe the same things about him. He also encourages the practice of snake handling by the southern churches while also presiding over the folks falling over backwards in Pentacostal churches? Of course there's no theological difference between Christian Scientists and the Russian orthodox church.... Jesus sees no difference whatever... .Mennonite churches are identical theologically to Greek orthodox churches....no difference whatsoever.... tell me another.....
Shalom Rabbi Tovia, thank you very much; you give excellent replies as always, take care, bye.
robbi I'm a muslim i have to tell you are the best .
Muslims agree that Jesus was the messiah with the Christians
@@bigkarl6367: Yes, and they must STOP this pagan belief, because it is NOT what God said to us at Mt. Sinai!
This is a message of great weight and confirms the ung-dly weight Christianity places on its adherents to lead them into the prison of ignorance ; Thanks Rebe
*Kevin Ashcroft:* Yes, Christianity is a religion of ignorance and fear!
Thank you Rabbi for helping save us from the evil false doctrine of original sin!!!
when you stand before God, then you will know for sure who really lied to you! I pray you repent before its too late.
@@nathanolewis we know who lies right now. Us jews/pharisees have the truth. We have it now and we have it then.
Original sin is a catholic doctrine which unfortunately many evangelicals have adopted, too. It is based on passages that claim that all men have sinned. Of course all in scripture does not mean without exception. Sin entered into the world through Adam and because of it the ground is cursed and women have more pains in childbirth. We pass on sin because once Adam and Eve sinned, they passed it on to their children in the way they brought them up. Clearly they didn't make a good job in bringing up Cain, otherwise Cain wouln't have killed his brother. We know today that we are heavily flawed individuals because of our upbringing. Scripture says that if a parent trains a child when he is young, he will turn out rightous later in life. Yet most parents fail their children and that is the reason why this earth is in such a mess. So many people with a chip on their shoulder from their childhood. How do you break this cycle. Sin has to be dealt with. Something had to happen to enable people to overcome the fleshly nature which cries for revenge when offended and lusts for things it isn't allowed to have. The law brought it out into the open how flawed mankind is. Jesus did not come to bring a new law, but he enabled us to keep the law. Now, the law is not really the Torah, that was given to the Jews as a disciplinarian. The law is the new nature when we are borne again through Christ Jesus and our desires change to want to do right. Not only that we want to keep the law of God, but God also enables us to keep the law. Rabbi Tovia pointed out that in the letter to the Hebrews a passage is quoted that misses an important aspect, that mankind is able to do keep the law. This is true, and that why the human race is doomed, because even though they could keep the law, they didn't. So what stopped them. Sin. Where did sin come from? Through Adam and Eve. Because sin is real, and only real because people can do right and choose to do wrong, there was real guilt that needed to be dealt with. Jesus dealt with it and thus fulfilled the prophecy in Isaiah 53. This is the first coming, as the suffering servant, where he prepares a people for himself that when he comes back, the earth will be prepared for it through those who preached the Word of God and were willing to even die for it. For Israel the Messiah is still coming, and when he comes, he comes to conquer and bring peace to the whole earth. This is for Christians the second coming.
20:46 great lecture and great jokes added in with impressions like always😂😂. Thank you rabbi for your work and humor
As Muslims we believe that the original plan of God was always to send man to earth. After creating Adam and Eve God taught them a lesson and made them aware of Satan's treachery.
The lesson being: satan will tempt humans and as a result when you sin you repent sincerely, God will forgive you.
With this lesson Adam and Eve came down to earth not condemned but as part of the plan. We in Islam believe all are born sinless a Just God does not punish innocents for the sin of others. Period.
That is also nearly 100% Jewish . I wish that Jews particular secular Jews understand that many of the basic beliefs of Islam are very much in line with Judaism. Islam is the only other monolithic religion . Christianity is either three gods or four gods if you count marry. Many other beings who can be prayed to as if they were gods . yes some Muslims carry Mohamed Nearly to the divine place . However I don't believe that is the oveall accepted Doctrine. If you can clarify for me ? Mohammed is a prophet much like Moses and the many prophets of the Torah . And how you consider Jesus a prophet.
@@LassieSgr there are cults in the name of judaism , likewise there are few cults in the name of Islam - those with muslim tag carry Mohamed Nearly to the divine place are never considered muslim by muslims, they are just cult in the name of Islam. As for your question - " If you can clarify for me ? Mohammed is a prophet much like Moses and the many prophets of the Torah . And how you consider Jesus a prophet." - Yes Mohammed is the prophet like Moses but who told you all prophets have to be similar to Moses or similar to eachother ? Jesus was one navi who was not similar to Moses , so what ? He is also a navi according to Islam. Read the surah(chapter) Marry in Koran which says Jesus is a navi.
You could also say that God's original plan was to stop with Adam & Eve, and we were never in that plan and God is just annoyed we are able to exist.
@Abraham Mani So God promised nothing before John, which was written 70 - 100 years after Jesus was around? Nice rewrite.
@Abraham Mani Your so-called scripture is by far the most corrupted edited re-edited unreliable religious text in the world with so many human errors, even some pagan religions got their books sorted out. So please do yourself a favour - dont refer your fake book to muslim or a jew because both knowledgeable jewry and muslims know where and how your books were compiled and the relation of Saul , tartuilli etc with ancient mithraism . You probably have no clue what I said and why I said what I said, just understand this - dont waste your time and time of a muslim or a jew by refferring them your fake book (unless the Gospel revealed to navi Jesus peace and blessing be upon him in the original language is dicovered somewhere). Secondly , although christianity to me is the worst religion in the world and I have no interest in it whatsoever, just out of courtesy towards you let me know first what exactly you mean by "receive eternal life" and tell me from what the world has to be saved according to your religion, I will then reply accordingly.
@ 22:35 imagine a man is called to court and prosecuted on a claim that his great grandfather have stolen something from the house of complainant. inheritance of sin concept is not logical.
If Jesus were supposed to have reverse the original sin, shouldn't we all be back in the Garden of Eden, and be bare naked again -without awareness?
Jesus only reverses original sin if the people believe he is the savior. So it's a conditional reversal. The church didn't tell the whole t uth
Make Sense, that Christianity make with the Trinity or Jesus Christ as a God not Sense !
But I’m not sure Jesus Christ don’t say : I’m God worship me as God.
This stand not in the Bible and even not in the N.T. !
Jesus Christ says go Right - Christianity goes left.

@Abraham Mani I've put the NT aside years ago after a lot of studying. There is no such thing as a NT and a OT. There is only ONE TESTAMENT and that is the Torah and the Tenach and Talmud etc. You need to picture what the gentiles attitude was once they've also had the privilage to hear and read the True Words of the Word. Obvious they were disappointed as that was'nt their idea of how they wanted to conduct "their" religion. The problem started in 250 - 130 before christ after the gentiles have succeeded in translating the Tora. I can carry on and on...
@@fransrabie6609 woohoo. You got it! Take that Mani. You can't scare people with your false religion. Not me a born jew. And not these awesome people who are way more impressive than me to find the truth themselves!
Thank you Rabbi,

@@User_pr3uLn5jzk: Actually LISTEN to what the rabbi said! He said "It doesn't mean there isn't a Heaven and a Hell - there IS, but it's unverifiable..."! In NO way did he say he's "skeptical" of Heaven and Hell, so stop twisting his words!
@@User_pr3uLn5jzk: The rabbi didn't say he doesn't believe there's a heaven and hell - he said right after that statement "THERE IS!"! Go back and listen VERY CLOSELY to what he said! I'm not sure why he said that Cyrus never existed - you'd have to ask him about that, Since Cyrus is mentioned in Isa. 45:1. He obviously misspoke - I don't know what else to tell you. He's human, as we all are, so sometimes rabbis make mistakes - either that or we've both missed something in what he said.
@@SalvagedCowboy: Yes, I agree!
@@User_pr3uLn5jzk: I NEVER "...agree blindly..."! I was DONE with that when I left false, pagan Christianity that DOES "believe blindly" without doing the slightest bit of honest research for themselves!
Jesus said to keep the commandments. He never claimed he did anything on his own but through G-d. His teachings lead u to Judaism in my opinion. His goal was to reveal the truth of who we are and who God is so we would return to him and know he forgives and loves us. Jesus never claimed to be anything other than the son of God and his teachings reveal that you are also the son of God and we are all one through Gods spirit. It’s all about Hashem
God flooded the earth. Why, then, after the rainbow of peace, are they teaching like there was no reconciliation?
Rabbi, thank you so very much!
Thank you rabbi for the enlightening interpretation of the Adam and Eve story, which has proven at least to me as a source of insurmountable condemnation and leading to the seemingly ridiculous continuous begetting of man by God merely for destruction in hell as the inescapable consequence according to the Christian exegesis
Because Paul couldn't do it, his ego told him that no one could do it. But what he did not even realise is that when he changed his Jewish name into a Roman name to avoid arrest and death, is that he made himself 'the least'., we can do it, or we can try. Paul tells you to throw the law into the rubbish and it is a curse. Who are you going to call out to? Paul or Torah?
Very good, Rabbi Singer. Thank you. God bless you.
Thank you so much I really enjoyed your teaching. Blessings.
Thank you. You really are they best!! I love listening and learning!!
Just love the way Christian respond to the way Rabbi brings in his analogy, and they forget the whole subject at hand. Adam - eve sinned (missed the mark) of Gods instructions and therefore were punished with a fulfilled punishment; 1.No Garden, 2. birthing with much pain, 3. work hard for a living, 4. The walking-talking - thinking "ANIMAL" the serpent is punished with a complete transformation including enmity with mankind! It never even implies all will be born Dammed' to an Eternal Christian hell. That was all created by gnostic' writers much later and has nothing to do with Torah! Shalom
Wj Cleaver Yeah it never implies it. You are implying that it does. It's funny how when something starts sounding "too Christian" Jews right away shut they're minds and automatically think pagan. I also find it funny how the belief of today's Jews (on tanakh) are different from pre Jesus Jews.
Your reply makes no sense! My point in short is; We are NOT' Born in Sin, separated from God and needing some one to die to reconnect us to our creator. (We are not born separated from God.) No Need For jc!
Wj Cleaver my reply makes perfect sense to your statement on "being dammed to the Christian hell". It actually shows complete illiteracy to Christianity.
Wj Cleaver and for your info it's very obvious that we are born in sin. Even your own tanakh can tell you that
Please don't try Ps.51:5 as we are born in sin. Those who employ Psalm 51:5 to buttress the doctrine that sin is inherited from one’s mother are faced with a serious problem. Christian stories even says Jesus was both conceived by and brought forth from a human mother (Luke 1:31). If original sin is inherited from one’s mother, Christ had it. If, however, someone should suggest that depravity is received only from the father, Psalm 51:5 cannot be used to prove it, for it mentions only the mother!The truth of the matter is, the doctrine of original sin is not Biblical. It had its origin in the writings of the so-called “church fathers” in the post-apostolic era. Such men as Tertullian (160-220) and Cyprian (200-258) first formulated the doctrine and it was later popularized by Augustine and John Calvin.Those who accept the plain testimony of the sacred Hebrew Scriptures will reject this error. You have your own opinion, so its your free will to choose, your way or Gods way. Shalom

Thank you so very much. This is such a great teaching. Baruch HaShem!
Beautiful answer!!!!
I never heard of any Christian say there is no repenting. Though I don't believe in original sin, i know there is ability to repent, the original sin doctrine doesn't say you can't. In no way this tears down Christianity. Just being real.

1john chapter2 v 4 he who claims to know his lord yet doesn't keep the commandments is a liar .psalms 49 v 7 no one can rescue u or pay God a ransom 4 u .wake up no one died 4 ur sins
Exactly
So can we assume you keep God's commandments... all 613 of them. Remember they make up God's LAW (singular)... break just one and you are guilty of the lot. ........................................
Didn't think you had. ..... You do need to have the penalty of your sin paid.... either you pay it or a merciful God must.
Then why does God spend most of Leviticus and Numbers telling us to give him sacrifices from a “spotless” animal for sins we committed?
@@SharkAcademy The blood of bulls a goats cannot 'take away' sin, but only 'covers' it for a time. This is why the day of atonement comes around once a year. The sins of the one making the sacrifice were covered, but never removed. It required a better sacrifice to 'remove' the penalty of sin.
The New Testament's letter to the Hebrews in chapter nine, tells of Messiah (Christos) taking the role of both the high priest and the sacrificial offering.
@@briangc6104 amen sir...now that is the true gospel!!! I hope they stop listening to this lying Rabbi...the spirit that was on the Pharisees in the days of Christ is still alive and well in Israel and this guy is showing us what Jesus had to go through with them!
If Jesus was God? then to whom did he prayed to? And even cried to in his prayer...begging God to pass the cup from him..and save him?
If Jesus was God? why does he need to pry to himself?
If Jesus was God? then He slept with his own mother Although us humans were forbidden to commit incest by God Himself?
why God needs to be a baby? Couldn't HE JUST WALK ON EARTH IF HE WANTED TO?
Why did God need a human to be able to come on this earth? When God is able to do anything He just say " Be". And " it is ".
If Jesus is God? Then His Mother is greater than Him for she took care of him when he was weak? And God is All-Powerfull.
If Jesus was God and came to Earth? And had a memory loss of ones being a God? Who was taking care of the Universe?
If Jesus was God? According to your beliefs how come the Roman and Jews were able to kill him? And torture Him before hand? Then they are more powerful than He is? And God is All-Powerfull in His Might.
Does God Die? Even if Jesus was Not God but His Son wouldn't the Part God in Him protects him from death?
How can you trust God if He let (according to your beliefs) His own Son to be tortured and killed by his enemies? How can God ignore His own Son's prayer? Well Jesus had faith in God...and he said if you have faith and ask God...you're prayer will be answered?
If you believe that Jesus was Crucified? then Jesus is NOT the Christ. According to the Bible Christ cannot be killed.
Believing in Jesus as the only begotten Son of God well David was way before him and he was one of the begotten Sons of God :
" The Lord said to me, " thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.". (Psalms 2 :7)
Christians When you follow some one then you have to follow his teaching. Ask yourself what did Jesus say to do?what did he say about God? People if you don't have the right information you are bound to blasphemy against God Him even with out knowing and that is very dangerous. Know God so you can differentiate the truth from false...that is why we have the Prophets to teach us. Know that God is Just and fair. Believing that God will put Sins on someone innocent and never committed any Sin himself is saying God is not Just and unreasonably unfair...and that's a blasphemy against Him the Most High? Believing that Jesus Christ was Crucified? You are saying that God cannot be trusted even if you love Him..He is not worthy of this love...and how can you submit and surrender your self to Him? to a God that is so cruel and unjust?
To believe that Jesus died on the cross it means that he is not the Christ....and Muslims believe in him to be the Christ (the anointed one or the chosen one). That is all what the word Christ means.
A believing person have to have total faith in God Almighty the Creator of the Universe to be All- Merciful, The God that you can Blindly Trust, He is the All-Powerfull,All-knowing. No bunch of Jews or the might of the Romans Can defeat God's Commands or His wishes. If God Wants to Save His Christ He Only Say "Be" and the Christ is saved.
Why you don't believe in Jesus to be the true Christ and believe in the Power of God and His Justice...and that God saved him from his tormenters. Adam and Eve in the Garden...were learning the lesson of Satan "their mortal enemy" and his ways in diverting them and their offsprings from Obeying God's Commands. God after the Creation was teaching them. They learned the lesson and recognized their mistake and repented and God forgive them and sent them to Earth where they are ment to be for a time that God ordained for them...this is part of God's plan for humans. There is no Original Sin. How would God in His wisdom, Mercy and justice punish them when they don't know right from wrong? They have to first learn and then and only then if they disobey God then He Have Every right to Punish them. Paul never met Jesus Christ in his life. When He comes and say Jesus Christ came to him in a vision or a dream before you believe him you have to examine him first? Am I right? If for real Jesus (pbuh) came to him...then he will carry what Jesus said and taught...but he didn't?
He came with a total different teachings of his own and right out said it in the Bible.
Did God if you believe Jesus is God changed His mind? Did Jesus if you believe that he is the Son of God went against God instructions? Why you guys don't ask questions? And search it for your own Salvation?
Reg find_N_choose only God Almighty knows when the day of Judgement Jesus didn't know
Jesus from the "call to arms" in the upper-room, and the blood -sweating prayer to the God of Mercy for help,it appears that he knew nothing about the contract for his Crucifixion and an UN-Willing Victim for if this was God's plan for a vicarious atonement to redeem mankind, then obviously He had chosen a wrong substitute. This candidate was most reluctant to die. Arming....Wailing....Sweating....Crying...Complaining...think of these responses and then tell me if he was in agreement with God's plan?
Reg find_N_choose if he knew what’s going to happen why did he prayed against it?
Paul Never Met Jesus he knew Nothing about Jesus and his Teachings
Humanity's inherent sinfulness and the need for divine grace is a central teaching in Scripture. The story of Adam and Eve underscores the profound impact of sin on human nature. King David also acknowledges this struggle with sin when he laments, "Indeed, I was born guilty, a sinner when my mother conceived me" (Psalm 51:5, NRSV). This acknowledgment highlights the inborn nature of sin affecting every human being from birth.
Despite this inherent sinfulness, God’s mercy and grace are emphasized throughout Scripture. Psalm 103:12 illustrates this by declaring, "as far as the east is from the west, so far he removes our transgressions from us," showing God's willingness to forgive.
The struggle with sin does not equate to permanent separation from God. Instead, Scripture invites repentance and offers redemption through faith. Jesus’ sacrifice is seen as the means by which believers are reconciled with God, as stated in Romans 5:8: "But God proves his love for us in that while we still were sinners Christ died for us." This underscores a relationship based on grace, not human perfection.
The persistence of earthly suffering does not negate the redemptive work of Christ. The Christian hope lies in the promise of ultimate restoration and eternal life, as expressed in Revelation 21:4, which speaks of a future where "death will be no more; mourning and crying and pain will be no more." This forward-looking faith is built on trust in God’s promises rather than visible outcomes in the present world.
Individuals in the Bible, such as King David and the prophet Nathan, exemplify the power of genuine repentance and God’s readiness to forgive. David’s confession, “I have sinned against the Lord” (2 Samuel 12:13), followed by God’s immediate forgiveness, illustrates that righteousness is accessible through repentance and divine grace.
While human effort alone is insufficient for attaining righteousness, Scripture assures believers that God's grace is sufficient. Through faith, individuals can experience spiritual renewal and maintain a relationship with God, who is “faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness” (1 John 1:9). This ongoing process of transformation, powered by divine love and mercy, embodies the hope and assurance found in the Christian faith.
In the name of Jesus Christ, I bless you all!
Genesis 2:16-17
And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:
But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
That man doesn't do that.
14:04 you said khouzaf, i'm an arab I can anderstand it I guess, It seems like it means fairytail, in arabic wa say khouraf, loool how similar are Hebrew&Arabic ;)
The story was added to the Bible from a Mesopotamian myth while the Judeans were in captivity in Babylon.

@Abraham Mani You did not respond to any of the propositions! If Jesus had redeemed us it should habe been noticable tonall of us!
@Abraham Mani You are full of hate
Excellent explanation. I can can say growing grains, fruits and vegetables is very hard work. So is tending to animals.
I was about to say the same thing. I have to ask my pastor about this?
I AM A MUSLIM BUT I BELIEVED WHAT YOU HAVE SAID CONCERNING TO THIS SUBJECT. WE HAVE THE SAME REASONING TO THIS QUESTION
Adam and Eve weren't immortal. The removal from the tree of life was to keep them from gaining immortality. It states less they take and eat from it too and become immortal, so the blame on sin, is bogus.
20:34 - "Do you think I'm gonna get butt baptized?" 😂😂😂😂 I love your videos and I'm not trying to down play anything you're saying, but that was hilarious!
@Abraham Mani nonsense
True, if you listen to the Christian interpretation of the Garden story.
But we have to do one ting first we have to define the Torah definition of Sin. Once this is established then the story makes sense. Sin is the distance we are from YHVH and His word. Then we need to see how and what Christina define sin and we will see the reason they would say what they do.
Orthodox Christians the earliest CHurch say God is perfect and Man is made in God's image , so man has no imperfections
You are doing a great job.
DUE TO sin of adam death came. Then human should not die anymore after the crucifixion of Jesus..
The death that came into the world was spiritual death. What Jesus brings is spiritual eternal life.
Dt. 30:14 the operative word is "may do it" Scripture does not say "can do it" Note the difference between the use of the word may and can. Can refers to ability. God did not say "you can do" God did say, "you have my permission to do it" - and when man attempted to do it - sometimes he succeeded and sometimes he failed.
lol
Rabbi your explained clearly, but not for Christians who taught from their church.
I've watched a few o Tovia's vids, and this is still unclear to me. He does a great job deconstructing/debunking the New Testament. However, I've never heard him debunking the Old Testament. Why not?
Thank-you for so much given freely to understand.............I never knew I was Lubavich!!! (haha) So many things to suddenly understand - thank-you a thousand times.........I have tried to understand, from the uneducated Jewish point of view, and have been so often confused. Knew only bits of Christian belief, and with your historical and practical explanations of such things, I feel so much lighter and happier! You SHOULD BE the HEAD of Rabbis!!
@ 9:58 example of bank loan was epic😂😂👌👌,plz give me loan without any garentee 🤣🤣,there is the door ,have a good day 🤣🤣🤣
No Christianity does not fall apart without the false doctrine of original sin.
I don't know what church that lady went to but I've never been to one that says you cannot change and you can't repent and you can't pray and you won't be saved and you're kicked out of heaven forever. I have never heard that. Furthermore for my own understanding the first set of sins that Jesus removes is fear, shame, blame, guilt, and covering one's own backside for fear of punishment. All God wants is truth and honesty from us. That he can deal with. Now we may however experience the consequences of our actions. I had to give someone a warning once, and I did, and God corrected me. He said the message stands but anytime I give a warning it's not about the punishment it's more like get off the tracks a train is coming! He said, everything I do and say is done out of love and it should be delivered out of love not fear of punishment. So, we can learn a lot from having a relationship with Jesus because he opened the door to have a personal relationship with God the Almighty. And each individual can be taught by him. it's not sin as we Define sin that keeps us from moving forward, the fear, guilt, shame, and unforgiveness. Their biggest sin was what kept them from their appointment with God.
I’m not disagreeing with the Rabbi, but Christians defend this by saying Jesus’ initial salvation was spiritual. Not until the “second coming” will the body be redeemed. Again, not arguing, but the N.T. teaches that temporal salvation has not yet occurred. Cited Hebrews 2:8, “we don’t see ALL THINGS subject to him yet.”
"The book is better than the movie." This made me laugh out loud!
@Abraham Mani nonsense
The rabbi seems confused about Christianity. Jesus as a sacrifice was not to undo the sin, but you pay the price for the sin. That payment was the freedom to go on and send no more. According to Christianity we are not born with original sin, we are born into a world with a proclivity for sin. Look at all the confused Christians! They misinterpret doctrines and are willing to swear by them!
Isaiah says, "They will live as long as trees", and they will "not labor in vain, and their children will not be doomed to misfortune." That is the Messianic age.
I've never heard a Jew precisely define God's plan for our salvation. Rabbi Singer says "Be Saved" at 27:29 ....what are the exact steps that one must take to "Be Saved" according to the Torah? (please provide scripture references)
he said just repent and dont do it anymore!!! so hilarious and full of nonsense!
Mike Anderson Ezekiel 18:20-32. Plain and simple. No need for blood, sacrifices, or a man....
@@nathanolewis why is that nonsense to you? Is it because it seems so simple? Dosent what xtianity come across as simple? Just believe.... God is NOT a monster that wishes death and punishment in anyone. What He wants is obedience. It IS simple. BUT WE are in control of whether or not we obey. No one can do it for us. Repent if your sins, turn away from them and do not keep repeating them, then turn back to God and His ways. Prayers for you...
@@Doriesep6622 I'm sorry you have been sucked into a lie like most of the world. When we die we sleep in the grave til the resurrection. No one goes to heaven. No one goes to hell. When we are resurrected and judged those who are deemed wicked will be done away with to be no more for eternity. Those who are deemed righteous will live forever (on earth) with God. What is our righteousness? Deuteronomy 6:25 And it shall be our righteousness if we observe to do all this commandment before the LORD our God, as He has commanded us.God specifically tells those that want to follow HIM that IF we do all that is right and just we will be considered righteous. If we do NOT we will be considered wicked. IF the wicked person will repent of their evil ways, (like not following God alone) and turn from those ways and then RETURN TO HIM, HE will remember our sins never again. But IF we turn back to do wickedly then we will die in our sin. NO ONE can die for the sins of another. NO ONE can redeem his brother. The person that sins will die. The father will not die for the sins of the son or the son for the father. The one that sins will die for their own sins. Unfortunately some people refuse or do not see that j (if he existed) was preaching to the Jews alone and telling them to repent and return to God. NOT TURN TO ME I AM GOD. but Paul added and twisted the story, then the church picked it up from there and mixed in more lies to get the pagans to convert and now we have a world believing the very opposite of what OUR FATHER told us in the beginning....j was NOT a god. If he was then he definitely would be considered a man-god which was a pagan belief. He did not resurrect , again an attribute of the dying man-god pagan beliefs. J was a man. And his death, though wrong, did not save anyone from anything. ONLY GOD CAN SAVE
@@Doriesep6622 those things are EXACTLY what HE says to do. Psalm 82:3, exodus22:22-23. We are to take care of the poor and needy.
The 2 yetzers. We choose which to serve or not.
Who sings song at the end of the lesson?
Paul apparently didn't realize that one big lie would require a busload of other lies to support the "original" lie (pun very much intended)
Romans 5:12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned. Sin cannot be inherited. Sin is the transgression of the Law. No infant has ever sinned.
There was no Christianity when God kicked out of heaven
Very good video
1. Everything you said is not the Christian claim! I dont know what scripture you have been reading or the Christians you have been listening to. The curse of child bearing pain and the labor of man was actually paid for on the cross, I have seen many Christians and prayed form many Christians that believed they are not under that curse any more and they did not have any pain whatsoever...before you lie again and say that's not true...remember the Hebrew women in Egypt how God removed the curse from them...I also know many Christian men that do not have to sweat and labor before they provide food and shelter for their family...also because they believed they are no longer under that curse, they enjoys the blessing of God...is that not what happened to Abraham??? that being said, the curse was not the primary reason Jesus died on the cross! one was to remove the power of sin nature in man...two was to restore relationship that was broken in Adam between Adam and God...man now have the right of sonship and can have intimate with relationship with God just like Adam had before he fell from glory. Man can be wrapped in the glory of God once again. The other main reason was to give man power over the Serpent, the deceiver. Jesus gave us authority over principalities and powers so we can overcome every temptation he will want to bring to us again. So Rabbi, indeed you have no knowledge of scripture! You are here praising the Serpent and saying he did something good!!! what a blasphemer you are sir!!! I am sure Satan loves you very much because you love him and you are doing a great job for him, that was what the Pharisees and Sadducees did to crucify the messiah and kill many of the prophets, they never bet on Jesus rising and getting the victory...whether you like it or not sir...One day you will bow and your tongue will confess Jesus Christ as the Lord over all!!!!!
2. Also, Jesus did not fail. You can only receive all that by faith!!! We only receive the mystery of the cross. We dont also say, he only died to save you from hell...He repaired the relationship, that was why the veil in your temple tore into two when He died so we can have direct access...we dont need you Rabbis or priest or father...we can hear Him and walk with Him, we have power over sin and you can actually be without sin through the help of the Holy Spirit!...I am a living example of that sir!
Abraham was never righteous, He obeyed God and was counted to him as righteousness. David was not righteous... He was loved by God and he was a man after His heart....all the men you mentioned were upright men in loving and obeying Hashem and that was why they were considered rightoues...no man can be righteous except the Lord makes them...who is the Lord...Jesus! Also, Isaiah said all you righteousness are filthy rags before God! when Isaiah saw God in chapter 6 of Isaiah what did he see after seeing Hashem? He saw his sinfulness and how filthy he was before Hashem1 What did Hashem do? He told the angel to cleanse him and cleanse his tongue. When Zechariah saw Joshua the priest before the Lord what did he see/ The priest was standing with his garment filthy and Lucifer standing beside the Priest to accuse him and not allow him to build the wall of Jerusalem...what did the Lord do? He told His angels to put new priestly robe on him and new turban on his head...so your righteousness is nothing before Hashem! When the Christian talk about righteousness, they are not talking about your moral standard because no one have that...they are talking about your right to stand before Hashem...no Jew have the right to stand before Him without atonement...even your priest will have to make atonement for himself before he goes into the holy of holies or else, that will be his end... they will have to drag him out with the rope on his leg...Now Jesus gave us that right to stand before our Father(Hallelujah!!!) we can go into the holy of holies without shame and condemnation because we go with His righteousness and not our...No one is righteous, no, not one!!!
Keep the 7 Noahide commandments and stop promoting idolatry.
This is not the Christian narrative of original Son. It’s not right
Abraham was made righteous because of his faith not because he kept the law. He was before the law. David was a man after G-d’s own heart because he could repent and accept he was sinful before G-d, obviously not because he kept the laws since he committed adultry amongst other things.
Talking about David: he wrote Psalms 119- according to the 22 Hebrew letters per stanza; he composed it and elevated the (mistranslation) LAW=should be TORAH in Hebrew which means instructions on how to live a godly life. Love of TORAH by learning it brings one to attain the highest level of spirituality to get closer to G-D. You can not have faith without the TORAH= how can you believe in someone you have not heard or known. That is the job of the TORAH= given to Moses at Mt. Sinai which sustains the world.
Chaya Tova did Abraham have the Torah?
@@b.bernal6151 No, he was a Noahide and kept the 7 laws. It was only at Mt. Sinai, that the TOROT(plural)= the written and ORAL were both given to Moses that included the 7 laws and expanded to 10.
This was the first time the Hebrews/Israelites were called Jews=Yehudim. Moses taught the Torah to the people in the wilderness. Then Joshua continued those teachings until entering Eretz Israel and passed it on to the new generation and so forth until today.
Chaya Tova where in Torah does it show G-d giving Noah these laws?
Straw man. You aren't talking about orthodox Christianity, you are referring to the reformers. We use the same verses against them.
If you would only know the darkness that it is in the new testament your jaw will drop.
Cyrus the Great never existed? Then why is he called "anointed" in Hebrew scripture?
Really, this is the best answer that you can give, God tells them what they may and may not do, they disobey and it a blessing. When Adam sins he did not get in fellowship with God, he lost that fellowship. Christ bring back that fellowship of man back to God. God walked daily in the garden with Adam and Eve. Why was he expelled if he was still in fellowship with God. You are so blinded by your own conceit so can't see what Paul was saying. Paul never ever cut out the word of God, he established it by the Power of Christ. I cannot believe that your supposed to be a Rabba a Teacher of the Torah and you can't give a better reason for the fall of Adam or Eve. Where is there a blessing in pain, where is the blessing in hardship. The only reason we are made to suffer those things is because of original sin.
You want another sign my aunt who was a troubled alcoholic for 36 years. She went to AA and even hospitalized for it. Nothing helped but one day she went to church visit and a minister asked for her to come forward. Before she even got a few feet the power of Christ knocked her over ground and she was delivered from alcoholism to the rest of her life. She was 47 at time and she passed away at 71 but never drank since that time.
I understand what you're saying. I've seen many healings and miracles in churches, too. But Jews don't follow signs. Hashem tells them specifically not to. He says to judge a messenger/prophet by their teachings. I.E. are they in line with Torah. Many pagan religions showcase miracles and wonders. Balaam was the most powerful gentile prophet/sorcerer out there. His signs weren't fake, but he also wasn't a prophet of the one true G-d.
@@hannahfarr3384 It’s unfortunate because God did showcase his miracles too in the Old Testament and God did many miracles too.
Would the word "partook" be better than "ate"? Partook implies an action separate from, eating. One understand that reading to children from the real TANAK ,would be confusing pre puberty!
@ 11:40 throwing out of land was only worldly punishment,punishmet of hereafter is seperate account,everyone has two accounts ie worldy account and hereafter account, one who wont get his calculations done properly in worldly account his balance is transfered into hereafter account on the day of ressuruction ie day of judgement.
"....the Tanakh was either written by G-d or an anti-semite."...that's funny right there.
So the messiah was whoever invented epidural procedures to circumvent birth pains
WHA-A-A-A-T???!!!
The Church is called out to learn the New Testament, I hope everyone will keep learning.
@Abraham Mani I am glad if you live life/faith. Good bible verses. I am not sure what they mean to you.
@Abraham Mani a statement of faith. Good bible verses. They do not stand alone.
I think personally rabbi Tovia is prophet , I didn't see that christianity even protestantism is such evil in core , and pastors and priests lie so much about all those types of dogmas. I had read Quran long time ago and I think muslims are more biblical and close to judaism than christianity
(Applause) thank you.
Very interesting and cool
Rabbi that is a terrible line of reasoning, with respect but some child might find that influential but really. Women should now labor free deliveries or whatever you meant by difficulty conceiving. That proof is idiocy. Jesus repaired the sin in the lifetime , by the point of returning to the Creator at the Judgement. The idea that Satin continues to walk the earth isn't a defect to the redemption brought by Jesus but a continuation of the freewill of man. The more I listen the worse the arguments. But God Bless because some good comes out of all that there is.
Great commentary on Adam and Eve, marred only by misspelling Deuteronomy 'Dueteronomy'. Am neither a Jew nor Christian; but am a Noahide. As for Paul he was the enemy of God, Jesus's real apostles and mankind in general. For his relationship with Jesus's real apostles read Robert Eisenman"s "James the brother of Jesus".
Rabbi good evening, and i certainly pray all finds you well. I am Chavah, and i am a Spanish (descent) sefardi, modern orthodox jewish. i was listening to your lecture on the Garden of Eden and the significance of nudity in Gan Eden. in not sure you really answered the part about the significance of nudity in the garden. also could you address the part of men now ruling over women. i find that verbiage extremely disturbing, as men within the Heredi use it to rule their wives as if they were appointed kings by hakodesh Baruch hu . i am modern orthodox and we dont really view women as second class citizens, subordinate to their husbands. R. Lord Johnathan Sacks and even the R, M Schneerson of blessed memory understood the change ng world and were willing to appreciate the practicality of some change. In advance, i thank you for the feedback.
Laura Leoscher Do you know about IRAC Israel Religious Action Center and WOW Women of the Wall? They are fighting for womens religious rights in Israel, including being a voice for Haredi women. In 2013 they won the right for women to wear tfillin, kippa, and tzittzit at the kotel. They have websites and RUclips’s. They post rosh kodesh every month from the Wall.
I came to comments wondering about the significance of nudity, too... at least I know I dont have to watch the whole thing again lol
God never said He would remove the punishment of labor for men and women. the Messiah grants future redemption in the here after rabbi..
Not to be a pedant but the "apple" imagery comes from the coincidental similarity between the words "apple" ("malum") and "evil" ("malum") in Latin.
It says in the Torah the tree of knowledge of good and evil
So what happened to knowledge of good
Before "English" was a proper language, words from multiple origins were often combined to become what is commonly called "old english." "Apple" comes from latin "ad" and norse "fell," combined ("ad fell") which means "to fall." Over time, "ad fell" became "apple." "Fructus ad fell" means "fruit that falls" from the tree. It did not originally mean one specific genera of fruit tree. As opposed to berries ("fructus beri") which means "fruit which is plucked." The original latin term for "evil" is "nocens." Later, because the paintings depicted apples ("malus" in latin), people started using the latin word for apple to mean "evil."
Just for everyone to know the West believes in original sin.. not the East (Orthodox). Doctrine of original sin etc total depravity predetermanism.. came in the 4th-5th century from Augustine, Aquinas, Luther , Calvin later. The West believes we are tainted.. the East doesn't believe that.. we don't bear the guilt of the first sin/ancestral sin but we do bear the consequences with death being chief.. . reconcile us back to God.. every man bears his own guilt.. want to learn about Christianity look into Orthodoxy.. never look at the West and especially the protestants.. Can two walk together except they agree?
I wish Muslim Apologists can Learn the Bible from Jewish Rabbis this can help us refute Christianity very easy.
Every time I study Judaism It strengthens my faith in Islam.
It's as if what was revealed to Prophet Muhammad is exactly the same to what was revealed to Israeli Prophets.
In actual fact Islam and Judaism are actually one faith. We just differ on the issue of Prophet Jesus and off which it will be put to rest in the return of Jesus.
Sabbath or Jumah, Jesus will sort that out.
We should not let these minor differences(Jesus, sabbath/Jumah) devide us.
Our belief in Hashem/Allah already unites us.
This is our strongest and fundamental commonality that we should hold onto.
As long as we agree with God then the rest does not matter.
So much man made mythology. And humans didn’t even live long in those ancient times.
This showed how the mysteries of god are still unknown among Hebrews and a lot of people. First I would like to point out the contradictions in rabbis arguments. What was adam and eves punishment for their sin? Death, he is essentially saying everyone born since then are born to be immortal or at least if they withstand the satan they will be given access to the tree of life. We all know no one is immortal. If everyone dies aren’t we being punished for their sins and if they repented would god forgive them and give give them access to the tree of life? I’m sure they were sorry they are from that tree
My issue is this he says Christians look at the Old Testament through a Christian lens but my issue is this he and others look at the New Testament and Christianity through the lens of denominations of Christianity that are pagan like Catholicism and not what the apostles left.
Christian at least true Christians will never say that there is nothing man can do to be righteous, he mentioned abram , Paul said what made adam righteous was that he had faith. There was no law given to Abraham for him to keep but Paul said he was righteous.
Man can have faith and that’s the only thing that makes man righteous.
Consider the woman that was found committing adultery, what was her punishment according to the laws?death right? But what did Jesus do? Says that her sins are forgiven. Was any drop of Jesus’ blood spilled at that time? Therefore it is faith in god through Jesus Christ is what forgives sin and makes one righteousness
Jesus said he didn’t come to change anything that was written but to fulfill it. Righteousness in the Old Testament is different from the righteousness Jesus taught. Hating someone would not warrant any punishment in the tenakh but Jesus taught that it is murder. Lusting after someone wouldn’t get you stoned in the tenakh but Jesus taught it is adultery.
I want to talk about the serpent. Was this a satan ? The Bible says let no man say god tempts him to do evil or sin. We are drawn away by our own lust. We are afflicted though and if there was an agent who tests men to sin but only afflicts you. To test your faith but not with sin. Job was afflicted but wasn’t tempted with sin. However this creature in genesis tempts man to sin. The same that tempted jesus after his godly affliction for he was fasting unto god. And that was the case with job, afflict this man and he will turn on you satan said. But eve was out right tempted to sin. So who or what is this serpent it’s not an agent of god to afflict men. Whoever entices you to do wrong are themselves evil. So where did this sinful entity come from? Because there is no sin in god and none of his agents is sinful. Where did this serpent come from?
Next this serpent could talk. No getting around that. If snakes today are it’s descendants why can’t they talk ? god didn’t say they will only hiss from now on, so what happened? I argue that the enmity put between seed of the serpent and woman is not between today’s snakes and people today. Snakes today are still in their punishment but that serpent in the garden has many seed not just snakes, but also men. Did you not hear Jesus said the people were like their father the devil? Why do we cry Abba father? We have received that spirit of adoption through Jesus Christ where we called sons of god. If at one time we were not gods children, whose children were we?
Jesus even called the Jews generation of vipers.
What does it mean when the serpent seed shall bruise her seed heel but it shall crush his head?
We haven’t done to Snakes what we haven’t done to any other animal , we dominate as humans and I don’t have anymore of snakes than I do of scorpions or crocodiles.
That prophecy was given to the entity controlling the serpent
Remember the ability to keep gods law in the Old Testament is different when compared to ability to keep the perfect law that Jesus preached so of course in Deuteronomy it will say we can keep it. But god searches the heart of men and it doesn’t matter if you have never killed a man, in the true holiness of the law hate is murder. Which was what Paul and ever Christian preach,
He is explaining the jewish beliefs and comparing it to what the christians believe. That will be confusing to people who do not fully pay attention to the lesson.
@ 10:43 other side is unverifyable but it can be verified by logic, since soul of the creation is immortal it is gonna leave at some place and that place will not be earth because souls are supernatural by nature so they are gooing to rest or stay at some supernatural place, so we got to conclusion that there is some place After Death, again if a godly good person soul and sinner person soul stays at same place with equality is illogical ,so that place should be parted in two ie one for good one ie heaven and another for sinner ie hell.
Gotta get a Jewish Bible now. I’ve got a Septuagint. I like making my kids do Bible study during the summer to keep critical thinking and writing skills sharp. I love seeing their perspectives trying to summarize the stories I pick out like garden of Eden (call CPS!), Noah’s naughty son who saw him nekkid, bitter herb test, and what do you do when you make a deal to eat your babies with your friend and they back out on the deal after eating yours. Moses left us hanging on that prob. I’m taking notes for some comparative analysis this summer. I’m atheist and I’ve got 4 bibles now, going to add another one to the shelf. We are going to focus on Paul. He was a piece of 💩. 😂
Your hair is fabulous!
Please make sure that the Hebrew Bible you buy says "TANACH" on the cover, so you can be assured that it's the ETERNAL words that God gave to Moses at Mt. Sinai. Anything else is NOT the true word of God, but is only a blasphemous, twisted, mistranslated, taken out of context, bastardized VERSION of what God said to us, since Christianity REFUSED to learn the original Hebrew given to us by God. THIS is how the false, pagan religion of "Christianity" came to be.
Rabbi Tobia, I love your passion for the Hebrew language and Judaism, but the biology of conception...one or more of a man's sperm cells uniting with one or more of a woman's egg cells...is totally painless. And, considering the size of a full term infant and diameter of a woman's birth canal (vagina), it's not surprising that the physical act of giving birth can be extremely painful, and can be lethal for the pregnant woman in rare cases. Those are biological facts, just as true today as they were long before the authors of the Hebrew Bible began creating their stories and writing them on parchment. Their stories were their HONEST attempts to explain the mystery of life you and I are living today. That mystery will never be less mysterious for the simple reason that the more we learn about the mystery of life, the more we find out that we don't know. There is no end to mankind's search for the truth about a reality that is both INFINITE and ETERNAL. We live for a finite amount of time, then we die, and eventually our bodies decompose ( "return to dust"). That supernatural aspect of me that enables me to conceive and transmit this message, my conscious mind, vanishes when my brain's biochemical activities stop. Do I have a 'soul' that will continue to exist after my body returns to dust? I sure hope so, but it is IMPOSSIBLE to know with the same certainty that we known that God's final creation, a nameless woman, becomes pregnant after she has been insemminated by a man. Was that man named 'Adam' and the woman named 'Eve'? Of course, that's what the author of Genesis tells us in the Old Testament collection of stories!!!!!!
I love you kind and gentle Rabbi, but you're looking deeply into an infinite hall of mirrors with no end in the eternity of time, and no two authors have ever seen the same mystery.😇
Salam Rabbi Singer. I am from the Republic of Texas. God bless you and your work. You are welcome in my house anytime you want.
