B'H Rabbi! I just have tears for all you said! I am also a person who was raised Xtian found the Torah and am on Orthodox Judaism route! I have always wanted to know Hashem! I read the Bible forward and backward! Searching for truth;. 3 years ago I found Judaism! I my wife and six kids are all converting! We love Hashem and H-s Torah! We don't want watered down Xtisnity, We don't want a man who claims to be G-d, we want to be Jewish and accept Torah! He is my G-d and my Rock! He is not a man and He gave the Jews the Torah to keep forever and the Maschiac has not come yet but we await his first coming! B'H for your story of coming to Torah and Judaism! You are so inspirational! Thank you so much Rabbi!
I am also a jewish man with a similar story , now i practice Judaism I was a youth minister. hashem used to do many wonderful things. now I'm a study with my rabbi. found out I was jewish in 2014. love this video.
Amazing beautiful story. He and his wife, through study and love found their calling; found their Jewish life together. And I love that as a Jew we are taught...to do one Mitzvah daily. Through Rabbi Ephraim studies, he found his inner faith. I'm in awe of his truth and kindness.
@David Miles This is another problem. Jesus/Yeshua has no standing in Judaism. Before a person can convert he/she must purge his/her consciousness of all other gods. This is very difficult for people raised in Christian, Muslim, Hindu etc. homes.
@David Miles According to Jewish Law every Jew was personally present at Har Sinai and entered the Covenant together. For this reason only those present are Jews. As we have no sure/objective way to know who was and was not present, the elders of our people were given authority to make converts. Conversion then is not, when properly understood, conversion into the Covenant, it is conversion into the Tribe. In other words, through gerus a beit din (Jewish court) decides to accept the candidate into his congregation/community as a Jew. Not all Jewish communities accept all converts as Jews. There is a lot of sectarian politics at play here. For this reason, David, unless your birth mother and/or maternal grandmother was halachically (legally by our law) Jewish, and you have evidence of this, most Jewish communities would require you to convert if you wish their acceptance. IF a person is Christian (believes in Jesus as Messiah or G-d) or Muhammad, or some other non-Jewish religious system, he/she will not be accepted as Jewish regardless. A person born of a Jewish mother but raised in another religious system will often be required to take conversion classes in order escape the religious indoctrination of the other religion, even though formal conversion is not required. Many Christians seem to think that Judaism is Christianity without Jesus. This is not the case. Judaism is closer to Islam than to Christianity. Christians who seek conversion have to unlearn a lot during their conversion process. Most people who begin the process do not complete it and its not so uncommon for a person to go through the educational part of the process and still be denied conversion. Conversion to Judaism is not easy and its not intended to be. We have enough unobservant Jews already! Living as a Noahide is the easiest and in most cases best option for those wishing to know and serve the G-d of Israel.
@@RabbiShlomoNachman Another, even more important reason than what you state above for turning those away from conversion is that if you are born to a Jewish mother and and don't observe, that's your free will. BUT if you willingly TAKE ON the yoke of Torah Laws and then turn your back on this, this is a GRAVE sin and the rebbeim and beitim dinim don't want to see a convert perform such an aveira/sin for your mortal soul. Better to just be a Noachide...unless you are VERY certain that this is for life!
I love how even though he's now a Rabbi, he still speaks with the same loudness and excitement of a Christian Pastor. I'm so ready for my conversion to Judaism.
He IS really a christian pastor. You cannot become a Jew by 'faith'. You have to be born from a Jewish mother. That's the only way. And since he did not mention 'conversion' he did not convert either. (Which are the sole two means to be Jewish.)
I grew up Catholic and I read my Bible but I didn't understand what the so-called NT taught until I got older. I read through the NT and I realized that I can't stay a Catholic. I found Judaism and while I have not converted yet, I will. I am going to become a Jew before I die.
for you to become a Jew you must renounce your Catholic religion and accept Jesus as your savior and obey Him, this is how a Gentile (non-Jew) becomes a Jew. Only way!

Honestly dude you think Genesis 3:15 describes the messiah? DUDE READ FROM 3:14 ON! ALL YOU GUYS TAKE STUFF OUT OF CONTEXT. It's like you never wanted wanted to believe Santa and the easter bunny is fake... its ok dude.I wish you success in life. Just not ignorance.
jesusisisgod1 Just to ride on the back of BrotherBargain1, since he already mentioned this point--if you think that we need a Biblical verse to tell us that the Messiah will be born of a woman then.... seriously, WTF? Who else should the Messiah be born from, a dude? Where would he come out of? Where would he fucking _gestate_? I could go through your items point by point, but I think it's simpler to just say that Jewish theology rejects most of these claims. I'd reject the New Testament quotes performed outright, because it's not part of the Jewish theological canon, and is therefore as valuable in telling me who the Messiah is as Harry Potter ("You're a wizard, Harry!" and "I am the Chosen One" are particularly good examples of valuable quotes that I can pull just for shits and giggles). I would, however, continue and say that within Jewish theology, Jesus is not G-d. He is also not the literal Son of G-d, no more than _every single Jew is the son of G-d_ (see Deuteronomy 14:1). As far as his dying for our sins--Jesus is recognized in Judaism. He is recognized as a purveyor of heresy and black magic. And that is why he died. He didn't die for your sins or mine. He died for no one's sins but his own.
jesusisisgod1 1. "Messiah would be born of a woman" Well, I would hope so, Mashiach could not possibly be born of a man seeing as men do not give birth. 2. "Messiah will be born in Bethlehem" Do you have any idea how many children were born in Bethlehem? So far, we have thousands upon thousands of possibilities of babies who could be Mashiach, all of which born in Bethlehem to a woman. 3. "Messiah will be born of a virgin" Isaiah speaks of an alma. This is the Hebrew word, not the mistranslated English. The definition of alma is "a young woman", NOT a virgin. The Christian theologians CHANGED the definition to attract the pagans who believed in gods impregnating humans, because that is what the virgin birth is. 4. "Messiah will come from the line of Abraham" Well, so is my rabbi, so was my rabbi back in Florida, so is 90% of both congregations and 90% of all Jews walking on this earth as we speak...so...5,400,000 decendents of Abraham. 5-8. I am not going to quote all of these, but I will also add 4 into this one as well, according to the whole idea of the virgin birth, Jesus does not have a father, therefore Jesus cannot be decended from any one of these people. Facts, can't deny them, and if you do you just want to sound dumb, no offence, but a fact is a fact. Now I am not going to go through ever one of these, it is too easy but too time consuming to make sure that I can word it in the correct manor, but Jesus only fulfilled prophecies that SOOOOOOOO many Jews have fulfilled and are not Mashiach. Here is one more though, only because I couldn't help but laugh... 24. "Messiah will be praised by little children" So, Justin Beiber is praised by little children, are you trying to tell me that HE is Mashaich? I don't think so! Now, how about I remind you of only ___ that Jesus did NOT fulfill because ONLY the Mashiach can fulfill... 1. Build the Third Temple (Ezekiel 37:26-28). 2. Gather all Jews back to the Land of Israel (Isaiah 43:5-6). 3. Usher in an era of world peace, and end all hatred, oppression, suffering and disease. As it says: "Nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall man learn war anymore." (Isaiah 2:4) 4. Spread universal knowledge of the God of Israel, which will unite humanity as one. As it says: "God will be King over all the world ― on that day, God will be One and His Name will be One" (Zechariah 14:9). If an individual fails to fulfill even one of these conditions, then he cannot be the Messiah. The Messiah will become the greatest prophet in history, second only to Moses. (Targum - Isaiah 11:2; Maimonides - Yad Teshuva 9:2) Prophecy can only exist in Israel when the land is inhabited by a majority of world Jewry, a situation which has not existed since 300 BCE. During the time of Ezra, when the majority of Jews remained in Babylon, prophecy ended upon the death of the last prophets ― Haggai, Zechariah and Malachi. Jesus appeared on the scene approximately 350 years after prophecy had ended, and thus could not be a prophet. The Messiah will lead the Jewish people to full Torah observance. The Torah states that all mitzvot remain binding forever, and anyone coming to change the Torah is immediately identified as a false prophet. (Deut. 13:1-4) Throughout the New Testament, Jesus contradicts the Torah and states that its commandments are no longer applicable. For example, John 9:14 records that Jesus made a paste in violation of Shabbat, which caused the Pharisees to say (verse 16), "He does not observe Shabbat!" Like I said before though, facts are facts, only a fool will try to deny them. Also, Jesus as a sacrifice is pagan, human sacrifice, G-d has ALWAYS been against human sacrifice. Now don't tell me that Jesus is not human because that would be completely against the whole idea of Jesus being a virgin birth making him a "demigod" which is a god and a human all in one being. Christianity is nothing but a pagan religion with a twist.
I saw this story and it inspired to me convert, to anyone else inspired it's not impossible, keep searching, keep finding, keep trying and you'll get there. Shalom!
Thank you so much for sharing your story, it made me cry a lot. It’s beautiful how you see and how you speak about our people. After hearing you, we can’t just continue to be regular Jews, we have to be the special Jews that you always see in us. Thank you for sharing. Respect for everything you endure to become who you are!
This video and videos by Rabbi Manis Friedman changed our lives. We have applied to our local beit din for conversion and are awaiting the next steps. Baruch H-shem! Those of us who want to know are here and we are at the door and we are knocking. Thirsty for more knowledge and a relationship with H-shem. Anything less, simply will not do.
I am a Ba'al Teshuva Jew born of ethnic Jewish parents who were ignorant of their ancestry and who by choice were Protestants. I am a Kosher Hassidic Jew today living in an Eruv with a Jewish wife and child.
One of the more remarkable attributes of converts is how Jewish they seem. It doesn’t matter the race, the ethnicity. It’s like they were Jewish all along.
Wow great story, what a charismatic individual so entertaining to listen to. As an Atheist with a Christian background I really struggle with the idea of a creator, but it is hard not to be moved by this level of passion.
Your soul seems to be groping it's way towards Hashem, since you're watching this channel. I, as a Jewess, was an existential nihilist for much of my younger adult life, and felt the same as you express here. Here I am now, after a long philosophical, spiritual journey, a Jewish "returnee". Just keep listening to the whispers of your soul and see where it takes you. (I'm not Jonathan Shaw but his wife - hence Jewess!)
Zaid Khan, Jews and Christians are closer to Muslims than any other religion. They believe in the same God and have better morals than some Muslims. God guide us all to be better people inshallah.
My life was changed 6 years ago, I have tried to keep to the faith of Abraham and keep to the torah. It is a very hard life , the Christians say we are going to hell, and the chabad Jews say we have no part in the Torah year after year. We will still keep the 613
Thank you. We will now start to become a great light giving love and happiness to the world, one family at a time . And we are teaching the children to love there parents and the parents to love there children. We have just started are new company bless G-d.
The more I learn about the Jewish people, the more fascinated I am. Judaism is truly a fascinating and beautiful religion with the most honest and hardworking people with the kindest hearts. It's a tragedy that such wonderful people have been and still are treated so poorly in our world. Sending all my thoughts and prayers to the Jewish community. May G-d bless this man and all the Jewish people and all those who are Fortunate to know him. My best wishes for this man and hoping the he finds happiness in his wonderful new faith as well as the best of luck to all people who struggle to find faith and find whatever faith makes them happy. 😀😀😀✡❤❤
I love this guy ! He is a truth seeker. All negative commentators below are just knee-jerk dogmatic reactions without really contemplating what he is saying or having any knowledge base to speak about or just low class run of the mill anti-semites. If you don't want to listen to his story or disagree, that is fine - I'm sure there are many other you tube videos for you to enjoy. But please keep your anti-Semitic and/or ignorant dogmatic reactions to yourself. Thanks and have a nice life.
Chanita Levitz ...My God is Jesus Christ and yours is a 'Hashem' (whatever that is). God gives you the choice to reject Jesus Christ (John 3:16-18) with eternal consequence......
minute 11.30 "old means no relevant dead gone" a pastor would know better, this not true idea of pastors, it is printed together showing by action it is relevant and even if alone, new testament QUOTES from old showing yes relavant. also the tricky words minute ten "leader of christian church" as if his disciples apostles were not jewish... a pastor would know that. this video title is a trick. if only jews would love truth...
The most ridiculous thing that some Christians say to us & harbor anger & resentment for is "THE JEWS KILLED JESUS!" Which in itself is absolute insanity from the Christian dogmatic perspective. The Christian scriptures clearly state that God sent Jesus to die for the sins of men, his whole purpose according to the "New" Testament was to die as a sacrifice for all humanitys sin... Jesus prayed in the Garden of Gethsemane that if it be God's will he must. & the famous "My God, my God why has thou forsaken me?" & his last words "It is finished" meaning that he had completed God's will.. But to hate the Jews & blame the Jews is not only is it absolute ignorance, but also apparent lack of knowledge of their own scriptures.
Trevor Martin Emperor Constantine created the divinity of Yeshua in 325 C.E. At the Council of Nicea. Not to mention that the book of the New Testament are out of order from the original Hebrew Bible. Changing or hiding facts still doesn't make it true, no matter how much so many people wish that the Jesus story was true. It's a beautiful story, but that is all.
Oh that is a classic. I know it well. It's so ridiculous when they say that. I'm Jewish but I didn't kill him. They need to read their "holy" book and see what it actually says. Spoiler> The romans did.
What a wonderful story. I found a very similar narrative the closer I studied the Bible. The "New Testament" is made up. As for Yeshua the Nazarene I am absolutely certain he NEVER said he was G-d. One of many itinerant preachers who were called sons of G-d, after his execution people made up stuff about him. This guy's ecstasy over Judaism is inspiring and I am happy for him that he was welcomed into the Jewish nation.
Tim, the early Jewish believers of Yeshua called themselves "Nazarines" of "The Way" & They kept the 7 Jewish feasts, ate kosher & kept the Sabbath but also had water baptism & the Lord's supper !!!! They did not have Christmas or Easter, but the Nazarines died out in the seventh century. There are Christians today who are what are called the Hebraic & Messianic !!!!!! BTW He said "Before Abraham was I am & one time Yeshua was reading a scroll of the book of Isaiah in a synagogue on the Sabbath & said today this scripture is fulfilled & He was the fulfilment & the people got angry & tried to kill Him, but He escaped them !!!!!
I was raised a Roman Catholic, but when God woke me up I found my religion in Hinduism. Now I strive to be a simple Hindu, which to me means, to live simply and to contemplate life highly. It is always such a beautiful phenomena to see a person find their religion. For the fact is, one's religion is not always the religion we are born in. A genuine spiritual teacher can judge the spiritual disposition of a person and point out to them where their path lies, even if it is not the same path or religion that that spiritual teacher adheres to. How many know of such religious teachers? They are rare and precious because true love (God) guides their lives and not the churches of their respective religions. So beware of the wolves in sheep clothing (the priests, preachers, religious teachers, etc. of any religion) who attempt to convert everyone to their own beliefs, rituals and traditions. Shalom, shanti, salaam.
Born & grown up Italian Catholic, but is clearly a Jewish soul. I don't know how to explain it, but his body language & personality is clearly Jewish from before birth.
RUclips is full of people who changed their religion - to or from Judaism, Christianity or Islam. All who changed did so for good reasons. Instead of arguing with them, why not be happy that they've found a faith which makes THEM each a better person?
Great testimony, I enjoyed the whole story. Unfortunately, we don't have a shop where we can buy or order jewish items here in Nigeria and Judaica shops online doesn't ship to Nigeria. Thank you for sharing your story.

Great story love how this person found his way back to the Torah. It is very true about how he says that Christianity is based on paganism. I personally also come from a christian background but I also found my way back to the Holy Torah thanks to the Jewish Messiah Yahshua which did NOT come to Abolish the Torah or the prophets (Matiyahu 5:17). I did found out that my ancestors were Spanish Jews from Sefard but due to the Spanish inquisition they lost their Hebrew roots and were forced to convert to christianity..
eshalom salguero Please share more. Share as to how you've converted to your current religion. I'm struggling as to whether Christ is truly the Messiah or not as of lately and admittedly, when I've read the Torah a while back I felt highly convicted. I came from a Catholic background even though not heavily practicing, but just enough to have basic requirements in order 'to be saved'. As much as I've tried to take that away, I realized that I had this to identify myself even if I'm no longer Catholic at heart. I have heard from various of sources, testimonies, sermons and sections and I was convinced by each for a little while, especially while I was struggling. I still am but I'm more aware as to how people use tactics to get at other's emotions and follow/donate to their cause. Another words, I'm in a mess and need to know if there's really Truth that I've longed to hear and follow or if I'm just wasting my time.
Hi Nikki just finished reading your comment, I think I can relate to what you're going through since I too went through something similar. I agree with you since there are so many religions which claim have the truth but are full of man made commandments and beliefs that actually separate people from the Creator. Currently I don't consider myself belonging to any religion, initially I could relate to the messianic movement because of the Hebrew roots aspect but as I've been learning more about the Messiah I can see that even some messianic beliefs still have a pagan concept of the Messiah and do not necessarily stick to the Hebrew concept of Mashiaj. Although I'm still learning to see the scriptures through Hebrew eyes, one thing that is very clear to me is that if it weren't for our Mashiaj we would have no way of even beginning to understand terms like love, compassion, justice and more importantly forgiveness. As I was reading the Torah portion for this week which is Shemini (eighth) It came to my attention that sometimes good intentions can have fatal consequences. I believe there's an orderly way of doing things especially when it comes to our spirituality and we cannot just do what someone tells us to do according to their understanding of scriptures. That's when our Messiah comes in, he is a truly wise Rabi who knows how to interpret and live the Torah according to the Father's wishes and we really need to learn from him to truly establish a close relationship to the Holy Father. I hope this is helpful, if there's any way I can be of help let me know. Take care!
"If anyone comes to me and does not hate father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters--yes, even their own life--such a person cannot be my disciple." Luke 14:26
I was always told I was 50% Italian but it turned out I was 50% Jewish mostly sephardic and ashkenazi and a lot of the jews were from Italy. So you were probably already ethnically Jewish but it may or may have not been on your maternal side but luckily for me it was it was on my mother's mother's side and also my father's father
FINALLY! There are people that I can talk to about this! I did read my Student bible (New International Version). I looked up online: Bethelem Eprathah, sorry if I got this wrong, is the name of a town or two, as well as the name of a clan from one of those towns. Us Christians don't read the Bible thoroughly or look after what it says. I admit it: We Christians aren't always that great.
He is LITERALLY SCREAMING my story, Italian immigrant (grandma) from Italy became "saved" and from there, YOU JUST ACCEPT NOT ASK...little ferry NJ is my roots and the only one converting to return my Neshama to its home
I absolutely love this - I am at the beginning of my journey - I left the church over 3 yrs ago and found myself in a middle ground of sorts - an opportunity to find Judaism and I fell in love and then I left that because it was still part of christianity and today, I’m taking in as much as I can and taking my cues to where HaShem is leading me. I am an ex-xtian and I love Judaism and my hearts desire is to be Jewish. Thank you for sharing your journey. 💙✡️
You are incorrect Anwar. Since the Exodus from Egypt (before the giving of Torah) Judaism has always accepted and honored converts. The same is true of Islam. In both religions the majority is not Semitic. Both religions accept converts.
, you speak a lie of Satan. People are dying for being Christians in the Middle East. And those are the Islamists who are literally follow the Quran who are killing them, not those who call themselves 'Muslim'.
Only difference is that Rabbi's today charge thousands of dollars for converts, shame on them pretending to he sincere while only looking to make as much money as possible. I believe it's much easier to convert to Islam unless you research the right rabbi for your conversion.
@@antireptile Hi John, you correct. It MUCH MUCH easier to convert to Islam or Christianity than Judaism. Absolutely correct. One can convert to either of those by uttering a simple prayer (either the Shahada or "Lord Jesus have mercy on me." You are also, sadly, correctly that many Rabbis and rabbinic organizations charge a LOT of money to convert to Judaism. Not all of them do, but many do. What is really "costly" about converting to Judaism is the time it takes and the living conditions required. There are solid reasons for these requirements. Judaism is not a belief system, its a Covenant with the Living G-d. Because of the replacements like Christianity and Islam most non-Jews (and many Jews sadly) do not understand what it means to be Jewish halachically (ie according to Jewish/biblical law). Learning and incorporating these truths, principles and traditions is not easy. Hence much study and direct experience is required. Those who are sincere undergo these difficulties. Unlike Islam and Christianity Judaism does not believe not teach that people need to convert in order to know and/or please G-d. Anyone can embrace the Seven Law Covenant and receive what the other religions refer to as "salvation", enlightenment, etc. As a rabbi I discourage conversion in almost every case. It is difficult to convert, it is unnecessary, it often posses serious difficulties for those who do within their families and their social circles. Unlike born Jews converts willingly accept upon themselves the whip of antisemitism and in some cases physical abuse or even death. Historically we are the most hated people on earth. Joining the Tribe can have VERY negative repercussions. Those who are determined however can convert, but don't expect it to be easy. Jewish life certainly is not!
@@elizabethdurbin3255 Hi Elizabeth, not sure if you were addressing me or someone else. I never said Christians are not under terrible persecution. Welcome to club! We are the most hated people on earth. I do not support Islam or Christianity, although I will note that far more Jews have suffered and died at the hands of Christians than Muslims.
@@RabbiShlomoNachman, actually converting to Christianity is a lot harder than you think. You can say the sinners prayer but if you don't change, you are just saying words. Ones life has to put action into those words. Sometimes one is confused what living a Christian life is like. But there are those who mistakenly believe saying that prayer saves them. As Paul says in the New Testament, Faith without works is dead. Sadly their are too many false Christians. Too long one group has called themselves something other than Christian yet people believe they are. I was raised in that one but walked away to truly pursue Jesus and his teachings. If groups had followed Jesus, those actions toward Jews would have been different. Recently, Christian groups have been reaching out to Jews and Israel because we know Jesus lived on this earth as a Jew and wouldn't want us to treat them badly.
All I know is I grew up Christian asking questions about the faith as well. Mine was luthern Protestant and other churches and no one could answer me why Jews followed Torah and kept the feasts and the Sabbath while Christian's did easter and Christmas.... And I asked where were the Jews to explain scripture reading, but the experts were those who took a Hebrew and Greek class, rather than asking a Jew who read the Bible in Hebrew. Hmmm changes meaning and understanding. After my stepdad passed away I went on a deep run and search finding Torah and Yeshua.
Have the balls to at least spell out the name of the Christian faith. You don’t see people disrespecting Hinduism, Sikhism, Taoism, Islam or Judaism that way.
Aside from this wonderful journey and story, New York City Jews and Italians are often very similar culturally; close families, emotional, expressive. You can see this in movies. Lenny Bruce once said "a New York Italian is more Jewish than a Jew from Indiana."
Passover is extremely important because it teaches how to stay out of bondage, which is one of the most important teachings in Judaism. Bondage creates toxic co-dependencies that enslave human beings.
Joao pereira Stop shouting. The 'lamb of god' is pagan (look up Dionysius). The Jews sacrificed sheep and goats because they were the pagan gods and by killing them we showed those "gods" had no power over the real G-d. "What we will sacrifice to HaShem our L-rd is sacred to the Egyptians. Could we sacrifice the sacred animal (seh, a lamb or goat) of the Egyptians before their very eyes and not have them stone us?” So feel free to worship the Egyptian lamb god. Have at it.
Joao pereira Isaiah 53 is a poem about the suffering servant, but not the servant you think. The servant is not Jesus, but Israel. Isaiah 41:8 says: "But thou, Israel, art my servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, the seed of Abraham my friend." Isaiah 44:1 says: "Yet now hear, O Jacob my servant: and Israel, whom I have chosen: Thus saith the L-rd that made thee, and formed thee from the womb, which will help thee: Fear not, O Jacob, my servant: and thou, Jeshurun, whom I have chosen." Isaiah 45:4 talking about king Cyrus, says: "For Jacob my servant's sake, and Israel mine elect, I have even called thee by thy name: I have surnamed thee, though thou hast not known me." And then the famous chapter 52:13 continues the same Idea of Israel, G-d's servant: Isaiah 52:13 says: Behold, my servant shall deal prudently, he shall be exalted and extolled, and be very high. Can you see now that G-d's servant is Israel, not Jesus in Isaiah chapter 52:13 and 53. By the way, there are more passages in the previous chapters to 53 that say the same thing over and over again about Israel. Blessings!
Joao pereira Jesus was not the Lord. He practiced alchemy that he learned in Egypt and went back to demonstrate his magick, performing his “works”. Jesus was a very clever man but he was not G-d. You’ve been had.
Jesus was a Jew, and I think he would know what the real truth is since he is the son of God. So Jesus is a Jew but an entire religion forms around Jesus without ever asking why he was a Jew.
If the church fathers say JC is god, it doesn't matter what JC say and what JC meant it. "I pray that they will all be one, just as you and I are one--as you are in me, Father..." John 17
Just to clarify - this guy was not a real "practicing" Christian. He grew up Catholic just attending church and his friends influenced him while he was still a teen. He never did having a saving faith in Jesus Christ. Nobody that ever believed in Jesus the Messiah would stop believing in Him. Jesus is the only way to God, he alone is the Savior. No one else can save you, you are lost without Messiah.
The concept of the Messiah coming to die for your sins is an invention of the New Testament. False doctrine. Not found anywhere in the Hebrew Scriptures. The Doctrine of the Trinity is idolatry and is also false, an invention of Tertullian.
This guy who says he was a Christian pastor before really never knew God in a personal way. That's why he left the Truth. If he knew Jesus Christ in such a personal way he wouldn't have done it. He knew about God, but he didn't know God in a personal way. And that's a big difference. Everything in the Tanakh points to Jesus as the Messiah. It's just that they refuse to hear the truth.

"Organic" is a made-up, unscientific label which has no link to the scientific definition of an "organic" compound, which is any which contains carbon-hydrogen or carbon-carbon bonds. This applies to the overwhelming majority of carbon compounds as well as pretty much everything and anything of biological origin
poor man he never knew Lord Savior Yeshua, never. May this man met Jesus personaly and change his life, and born again to be saved. No salvation in judaism of today, but salvation is only in Yeshua Jewish Lord amd Moshiach. Amen!
yeshuahagoel777 ,stupid, we are the chosen people by god, he gave us the blessings and the tora- the holly book, he chose us to serve him, not anyone else
That is your point of view but the whole point is that Jews do not need saving because they do not need an intermediary between them and their G_d. Christians believe that everyone needs saving whilst Jews believe that christians are pagans and are therefore dambed.
That comment shows that you have zero understanding of what you're talking about. Your guy has zero power to abolish or establish any laws. Nobody has any power to change the Laws, it says so multiple times in the Tanach. Don't post idolatry
This dude made up so much stuff is amazing. I don't have the time or the patience for the breakdown but anyway... His questions about things like confessions and sacraments could have been answered by anyone with the most basic grasp of Catholic dogma. Countless Catholics go to public schools. I'm of a half Orthodox (Christian)/Catholic on paper family (completely non religious), I spent some time in Catholic schools, not because I HAD to go there as a Catholic but because my family could afford it. Most Catholics go to Public Schools NOT Catholic Schools. At the point I stopped watching. Won't listen to an hour long video by someone who made up 4 or 5 things and then blew it out of proportion with generous amounts of hyperbole in 4 minutes.
+Mihalis Benko I understand your point that some of his statements are questionable. But, I would say you are missing the forest through the trees. Many Christians silently struggle with theology that does not make sense, at least among those Christians who care about the truth at all. If one desire to get to the bottom of the matter, one will search and appraise endlessly until one finds peace. The most widespread theological discomfort in Christianity is how to make sense of the trinity and how a man obviously lacking in all the divine attributes can be identical with God. Tertullian's evasion of these questions, calling it a "mystery," is most definitely not satisfying, since one could give the same answer to any false religion's claims. Judaism provides the answer to these theological crises. As one researches more, one finds that Paul's claims which necessitate Jesus (original sin, curse of the Law, atonement by deity sacrifice, and so forth) are nowhere to be found in the Hebrew Bible. If the problem doesn't exist, then neither does the cure. Moreover, Paul and the NT are all writing in Greek and from a very Hellenistic (pagan) viewpoint. Again, Judaism brings peace to those who discover these difficulties within Christianity. I hope you can appreciate that.
There's no problem with Gods nature. Jesus has all the attributes of the Father , He is the the same essence as the Father He is the creator He is the Savior He is the sustains of all things He is Lord of the Sabbath He is Judge of humanity He is our rest to name a few Judaism is a religion religion is man made God doesn't call us into religion he calls us to relationship sonship. The way to his holy dwelling place is open to us so we can go straight to him experience his presence, and hear his voice in our spirit. Or even audibly
MR. FITTA Judaism is the "religion" that was made by God Himself, by His own commandments. Christianity was made by Paul (a man who never met Jesus) and less so by Jesus (a man) insofar as we can trust the accounts of the authors (men) regarding Jesus. You apparently have trouble distinguishing between CLAIMS and DEMONSTRATIONS. Krishna CLAIMED to be the creator, savior, sustainer of all things, etc. Baal claimed, also. And so did all these other alleged man-gods: Adrammelch, Amon, Anammelech, Ashram, Ashima, Ashtoreth, Baal-Berith, Baal-Peor, Baal-Zebub, Chemosh, Dagon, Gad, Kalwan, Marduk, Malcham, Molech, Nebo, Nehushtan, Nergal, Nibhaz, Ishtar, Rimmon, Sikkuth, Succoth Benoth, Tammuz, Tartak, and others. They all had their false scriptures and their big claims. As each new one was put forward, the idolators said: "Oh, this one's different!" So, now, you say: "But, Jesus is different!" Fortunately, God, whose first two commandments are prohibitions against worshipping false gods, provided us an EASY test to determine whether something claimed to be God really is that. God revealed to us some (but, of course not all) of His essential attributes. If anything fails even ONE of these, then that thing is NOT God (i.e. is a false god). A false god can fail either by failing to demonstrate an attribute or by contradicting an attribute. A failure is also a rejection. Thus, we will test your claim that Jesus has all the essences of God. God is absolutely immutable (never changing). Was Jesus absolutely immutable? No, quite the opposite. He contradicted this attribute, changing from unborn to born, from child to adult, from alive to dead, etc.. In fact, merely being a physical body entails being in a constant state of change. Thus, Jesus is NOT God. God is omnipresent (unformed, infinitely extended). Was Jesus omnipresent ? No, quite the opposite. Jesus contradicted this attribute, in merely having the form of a man. Thus, Jesus is NOT God. God is INFINITELY powerful. Did Jesus ever display INFINITE power? No. In fact, Jesus says ‘My Father is greater than I’ (John 14:28), and ‘I can of mine own self do nothing.’ (John 5:30), etc. Thus, Jesus is NOT God. God is INFINITELY knowledgable. Did Jesus ever display INFINITE knowledge? No, Jesus says 'No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the son, but only the Father.’ (Mark 13:32). Thus, Jesus is NOT God. I could go on, but I've just shown Jesus has already failed this test four times, and any single one is a total and complete failure. In absolutely NO way did Jesus do anything more than CLAIM (or had it claimed of him) that he was God. Yet, just like others who claimed the same thing (Krishna, Caesar, etc.) their very beings testify conclusively to the lie. Finally, God makes it quite clear that He is not a man, nor the son of man, nor like anything on the earth, nor containable in any form. Note, contra the lies of missionaries, God's statements here are, in Hebrew, asserting (i) God is not a man, AND THEREFORE (ii) God does not lie. The key word here is the Hebrew word וִ (wi’) which is translated “and therefore.” "God is not a man and therefore He does not lie; neither is He the son of man and therefore he does not repent." - Numbers 23:19 "And also the Strength of Israel [God] will not lie nor repent: for he is not a man, that he should repent. " - I Samuel 15:29 "I will not execute the fierceness of mine anger, I will not return to destroy Ephraim: for I am God, and not man; the Holy One in the midst of thee: and I will not enter into the city" [Hosea 11:9] "For I will at this time send all my plagues upon thine heart, and upon thy servants, and upon thy people; that thou mayest know that there is none like me in all the earth" [Exodus 9:14] “But will God indeed dwell on the earth? Behold, heaven and the highest heaven cannot contain You, how much less this house which I have built!” (1 Kings 8:27) [and how much less still a material form!] “Because He [God] is not a man (אִישׁ human), as I am, so [it is not possible] I should answer him, and we should come together in judgment.” (Job 9:32) "Now, to whom will you compare Me that I should be equal?" says the Holy One. (Isaiah 40:25 (cf40:18)) Malachi 3:6 : "I am the Lord, I do not change…”. [That God does not change implies the impossibility of taking on physical form, which would necessarily imply change, as all physical matter is in a state of constant flux.] This is a complete proof that Jesus is a false god. Any scripture stating Jesus is God is therefore a false scripture, and God's "holy spirit" could not have inspired it.
Good presentation, but you are mistaken on many points, so I'll deal with the main ones First of all the names you mention represent dead-deceased individuals or myths Jesus is different on this level because he is alive today and active in the life of his body. Whether you accept the bibles authority on this or not(eg the witnesses who saw him when he rose, the fact that others who died rose etc) is another topic. The claim that Saul never met Jesus is ridiculous the account is clear, and I suggest you read it Acts chapter 9. One point here I accept the truth of the Hebrew bible as well as the NT(New covenant writings) and if we are to scrutinize one we must scrutinize the other with the same lens, So in anticipation of the usual "the new testament is not inspired, has so many contradictions" etc I'm saying both are inspired of God. When we say that Jesus is the same essence as the Father it means that all of who God is, is in the Son. who spoke to Moses out of the bush? who appeared to Jacob at Luz, called Bethel? why did Jacob when blessing Josephs children refer to the Angel to confer blessing upon them? who lead Israel out of Egypt? Does the Almighty leave his heavenly dwelling to reside in a building ? and so I could go on... In the beginning is the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made and without him nothing was made that has been made. The word became flesh and made his dwelling among us... This statement alone deals with all you have said Jesus(the Word of God incarnate)....God taking a form Jesus is the creator Jesus was, before time- to be with God in the beginning- he was already there When we say God is not a man that he would lie .... has nothing to do with his nature, but his character. Lets not forget that the nature of God was not an issue then And finally again I'll reiterate..... all those statements you made about God the Father I agree 100%, where you fall short is not being able to grasp they apply to the Son. God did not end his plan to save mankind at Sinai.... In the past God spoke to our Fathers(Israel) at many times and in various ways. But in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son whom he appointed heir of all things and through whom he made the universe. The Son is the radiance of Gods glory and the exact representation of his being sustaining all things by his powerful word.
First, you are assuming the trinity in your statement, yet that is the very point under contention. The trinity is an incoherent doctrine, a self-contradiction. God's essence or nature includes certain revealed attributes. These are given to us that we may obey His #1 commandment: THOU SHALT NOT WORSHIP ANY OTHERS BEFORE ME. We can *easily* identify false gods by means of these revealed attributes. A failure to demonstrate even ONE of these attributes is a complete failure and a proof the claimant to divinity is a false god. God is immutable, yet Jesus changed from unborn to born, from child to man, from alive to dead. Thus, Jesus is not God. Or again, God is omnipresent, having infinite extension. Yet, Jesus had form, and so had limited extension. This contradicts God's essential attribute. Therefore, Jesus is a false god. Jesus gave NO demonstration of INFINITE power. In fact, he many times says the OPPOSITE: John 12:49: "For I did not speak of my own accord, but the Father who sent me commanded me what to say and how to say it." - How can he be infinitely powerful and yet be commanded by the Father? Or, again: Matthew 26:39: "He advanced a little and fell prostrate in prayer, saying, ‘My Father if it is possible, let this cup pass from me; yet, not as I will, but as you will".Jesus gave NO demonstration of INFINITE knowledge. In fact, he admits the OPPOSITE: Mark 13:32: "No one knows the day or hour, not even the angels in Heaven nor the Son, but ONLY the Father." Even there were a trinity, Jesus could not be a member, since Jesus lacks or contradicts the divine attributes. The trinity is also an obvious paganism. I could go on and on about the internal incoherence of this idea, but this suffices to capture the main idea: God says: *I* am one, besides *ME* there are no others. (e.g. Isaiah 45:5; 44:6). This is ONE PERSON speaking (using "I" and "ME"), and this ONE PERSON is saying: THERE ARE NO OTHERS. -- The singular person of God is rejecting the trinity. Hear God's own words and then be ashamed of your idolatry: "God is not a man, and therefore, [not] deceiving; neither the son of man, and therefore [not] repenting.” - Numbers 23:19 "And also the Strength of Israel will not lie nor repent: for he is not a man, and therefore [not] repenting. " - I Samuel 15:29 "I will not execute the fierceness of mine anger, I will not return to destroy Ephraim: for I am God, and therefore not man; the Holy One in the midst of thee: and I will not enter into the city" [Hosea 11:9] "For I will at this time send all my plagues upon thine heart, and upon thy servants, and upon thy people; that thou mayest know that there is none like me in all the earth" [Exodus 9:14] “But will God indeed dwell on the earth? Behold, heaven and the highest heaven cannot contain You, how much less this house which I have built!” (1 Kings 8:27) [and how much less still a material form!] “Because He [God] is not a man (אִישׁ human), as I am, so [it is not possible] I should answer him, and we should come together in judgment.” (Job 9:32) "Now, to whom will you compare Me that I should be equal?" says the Holy One. (Isaiah 40:25 (cf40:18)) Malachi 3:6 : "I am the Lord, I do not change…”. [That God does not change implies the impossibility of taking on physical form, which would necessarily imply change, as all physical matter is in a state of constant flux.] “I am YHWH, that is My name; I will not give My glory to another, Nor My praise to graven images.” (Isaiah 42:8)
Matthew 7:15-20 Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. 16 You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles? 17 Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 Therefore by their fruits you will know them.

I still love listening to this conversion story. He has so much zeal and really loves HaShem and Torah.
So, have you converted?
I’m 69 and am coming to believe Judaism ❤ God is ONE! Like you I can’t find how to keep Passover
B'H Rabbi! I just have tears for all you said! I am also a person who was raised Xtian found the Torah and am on Orthodox Judaism route! I have always wanted to know Hashem! I read the Bible forward and backward! Searching for truth;. 3 years ago I found Judaism! I my wife and six kids are all converting! We love Hashem and H-s Torah! We don't want watered down Xtisnity, We don't want a man who claims to be G-d, we want to be Jewish and accept Torah! He is my G-d and my Rock! He is not a man and He gave the Jews the Torah to keep forever and the Maschiac has not come yet but we await his first coming! B'H for your story of coming to Torah and Judaism! You are so inspirational! Thank you so much Rabbi!
Welcome home and may HaShem continue to guide you and yours!
I am also a jewish man with a similar story , now i practice Judaism I was a youth minister. hashem used to do many wonderful things. now I'm a study with my rabbi. found out I was jewish in 2014. love this video.
Wonderful. I wish the door would open for me
Gevaldig story Prophet.
OYE VEY WHAT A MISTAKE. FROM CHRISTIANITY TO A PAGAN RELIGION.
Amazing beautiful story. He and his wife, through study and love found their calling; found their Jewish life together. And I love that as a Jew we are taught...to do one Mitzvah daily. Through Rabbi Ephraim studies, he found his inner faith. I'm in awe of his truth and kindness.
An amazing account of a souls journey back home to Judaism. I had very similar experience. I would love to meet you and your wife.
Good for you. We’re not interested about the one from Nazareth
@David Miles This is another problem. Jesus/Yeshua has no standing in Judaism. Before a person can convert he/she must purge his/her consciousness of all other gods. This is very difficult for people raised in Christian, Muslim, Hindu etc. homes.
@David Miles According to Jewish Law every Jew was personally present at Har Sinai and entered the Covenant together. For this reason only those present are Jews. As we have no sure/objective way to know who was and was not present, the elders of our people were given authority to make converts.
Conversion then is not, when properly understood, conversion into the Covenant, it is conversion into the Tribe. In other words, through gerus a beit din (Jewish court) decides to accept the candidate into his congregation/community as a Jew. Not all Jewish communities accept all converts as Jews. There is a lot of sectarian politics at play here.
For this reason, David, unless your birth mother and/or maternal grandmother was halachically (legally by our law) Jewish, and you have evidence of this, most Jewish communities would require you to convert if you wish their acceptance.
IF a person is Christian (believes in Jesus as Messiah or G-d) or Muhammad, or some other non-Jewish religious system, he/she will not be accepted as Jewish regardless.
A person born of a Jewish mother but raised in another religious system will often be required to take conversion classes in order escape the religious indoctrination of the other religion, even though formal conversion is not required.
Many Christians seem to think that Judaism is Christianity without Jesus. This is not the case. Judaism is closer to Islam than to Christianity. Christians who seek conversion have to unlearn a lot during their conversion process. Most people who begin the process do not complete it and its not so uncommon for a person to go through the educational part of the process and still be denied conversion. Conversion to Judaism is not easy and its not intended to be. We have enough unobservant Jews already! Living as a Noahide is the easiest
and in most cases best option for those wishing to know and serve the G-d of Israel.
@@RabbiShlomoNachman Another, even more important reason than what you state above for turning those away from conversion is that if you are born to a Jewish mother and and don't observe, that's your free will. BUT if you willingly TAKE ON the yoke of Torah Laws and then turn your back on this, this is a GRAVE sin and the rebbeim and beitim dinim don't want to see a convert perform such an aveira/sin for your mortal soul. Better to just be a Noachide...unless you are VERY certain that this is for life!
@@savtamarlene A good point also
I would never have guessed. He sounds like someone with a yeshiva background - the tone and inflection of his voice is right out of Brooklyn!
just because you sound like brooklyn doesn't make you a better jew
You're missing the point of the commenter. He meant it in a nice way and your remark was unnecessary 😢
I love how even though he's now a Rabbi, he still speaks with the same loudness and excitement of a Christian Pastor. I'm so ready for my conversion to Judaism.
He IS really a christian pastor. You cannot become a Jew by 'faith'. You have to be born from a Jewish mother. That's the only way. And since he did not mention 'conversion' he did not convert either. (Which are the sole two means to be Jewish.)
@@RudydeGroot Bullshit.
@@CaptchaNeon No. Logic.
@@RudydeGroot He clearly converted and you’re a troublemaker. Go attention seek elsewhere
@@CaptchaNeon Why am I a trouble maker as I refer to logic? And I'm definitely not an attention seeker.
I grew up Catholic and I read my Bible but I didn't understand what the so-called NT taught until I got older. I read through the NT and I realized that I can't stay a Catholic. I found Judaism and while I have not converted yet, I will. I am going to become a Jew before I die.
for you to become a Jew you must renounce your Catholic religion and accept Jesus as your savior and obey Him, this is how a Gentile (non-Jew) becomes a Jew. Only way!
yosalov No... Jews do not accept Jesus as the savior.
Mazel tov, Chaya L!
You have got to be kidding me. After reading the new testament, you would have had MORE reasons to stay catholic.
Christian, I'm not kidding you. Catholicism isn't for me.
Best Speech ever. This man obviously read both books (old and new testament) and made the decision best on evidence, not feelings or beliefs.

Honestly dude you think Genesis 3:15 describes the messiah? DUDE READ FROM 3:14 ON! ALL YOU GUYS TAKE STUFF OUT OF CONTEXT. It's like you never wanted wanted to believe Santa and the easter bunny is fake... its ok dude.I wish you success in life. Just not ignorance.
jesusisisgod1 Just to ride on the back of BrotherBargain1, since he already mentioned this point--if you think that we need a Biblical verse to tell us that the Messiah will be born of a woman then.... seriously, WTF? Who else should the Messiah be born from, a dude? Where would he come out of? Where would he fucking _gestate_?
I could go through your items point by point, but I think it's simpler to just say that Jewish theology rejects most of these claims. I'd reject the New Testament quotes performed outright, because it's not part of the Jewish theological canon, and is therefore as valuable in telling me who the Messiah is as Harry Potter ("You're a wizard, Harry!" and "I am the Chosen One" are particularly good examples of valuable quotes that I can pull just for shits and giggles).
I would, however, continue and say that within Jewish theology, Jesus is not G-d. He is also not the literal Son of G-d, no more than _every single Jew is the son of G-d_ (see Deuteronomy 14:1). As far as his dying for our sins--Jesus is recognized in Judaism. He is recognized as a purveyor of heresy and black magic. And that is why he died. He didn't die for your sins or mine. He died for no one's sins but his own.
jesusisisgod1 1. "Messiah would be born of a woman" Well, I would hope so, Mashiach could not possibly be born of a man seeing as men do not give birth.
2. "Messiah will be born in Bethlehem" Do you have any idea how many children were born in Bethlehem? So far, we have thousands upon thousands of possibilities of babies who could be Mashiach, all of which born in Bethlehem to a woman.
3. "Messiah will be born of a virgin" Isaiah speaks of an alma. This is the Hebrew word, not the mistranslated English. The definition of alma is "a young woman", NOT a virgin. The Christian theologians CHANGED the definition to attract the pagans who believed in gods impregnating humans, because that is what the virgin birth is.
4. "Messiah will come from the line of Abraham" Well, so is my rabbi, so was my rabbi back in Florida, so is 90% of both congregations and 90% of all Jews walking on this earth as we speak...so...5,400,000 decendents of Abraham.
5-8. I am not going to quote all of these, but I will also add 4 into this one as well, according to the whole idea of the virgin birth, Jesus does not have a father, therefore Jesus cannot be decended from any one of these people. Facts, can't deny them, and if you do you just want to sound dumb, no offence, but a fact is a fact.
Now I am not going to go through ever one of these, it is too easy but too time consuming to make sure that I can word it in the correct manor, but Jesus only fulfilled prophecies that SOOOOOOOO many Jews have fulfilled and are not Mashiach. Here is one more though, only because I couldn't help but laugh...
24. "Messiah will be praised by little children" So, Justin Beiber is praised by little children, are you trying to tell me that HE is Mashaich? I don't think so!
Now, how about I remind you of only ___ that Jesus did NOT fulfill because ONLY the Mashiach can fulfill...
1. Build the Third Temple (Ezekiel 37:26-28).
2. Gather all Jews back to the Land of Israel (Isaiah 43:5-6).
3. Usher in an era of world peace, and end all hatred, oppression, suffering and disease. As it says: "Nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall man learn war anymore." (Isaiah 2:4)
4. Spread universal knowledge of the God of Israel, which will unite humanity as one. As it says: "God will be King over all the world ― on that day, God will be One and His Name will be One" (Zechariah 14:9).
If an individual fails to fulfill even one of these conditions, then he cannot be the Messiah.
The Messiah will become the greatest prophet in history, second only to Moses. (Targum - Isaiah 11:2; Maimonides - Yad Teshuva 9:2)
Prophecy can only exist in Israel when the land is inhabited by a majority of world Jewry, a situation which has not existed since 300 BCE. During the time of Ezra, when the majority of Jews remained in Babylon, prophecy ended upon the death of the last prophets ― Haggai, Zechariah and Malachi.
Jesus appeared on the scene approximately 350 years after prophecy had ended, and thus could not be a prophet.
The Messiah will lead the Jewish people to full Torah observance. The Torah states that all mitzvot remain binding forever, and anyone coming to change the Torah is immediately identified as a false prophet. (Deut. 13:1-4)
Throughout the New Testament, Jesus contradicts the Torah and states that its commandments are no longer applicable. For example, John 9:14 records that Jesus made a paste in violation of Shabbat, which caused the Pharisees to say (verse 16), "He does not observe Shabbat!"
Like I said before though, facts are facts, only a fool will try to deny them.
Also, Jesus as a sacrifice is pagan, human sacrifice, G-d has ALWAYS been against human sacrifice. Now don't tell me that Jesus is not human because that would be completely against the whole idea of Jesus being a virgin birth making him a "demigod" which is a god and a human all in one being. Christianity is nothing but a pagan religion with a twist.
BrotherBargain1 wrong
I saw this story and it inspired to me convert, to anyone else inspired it's not impossible, keep searching, keep finding, keep trying and you'll get there. Shalom!
Wow, mind blown. Such energy and so much genuineness G-d bless you and your wife. There really is no excuse to not follow Hashem wow.
Thank you so much for sharing your story, it made me cry a lot. It’s beautiful how you see and how you speak about our people. After hearing you, we can’t just continue to be regular Jews, we have to be the special Jews that you always see in us. Thank you for sharing. Respect for everything you endure to become who you are!
This video and videos by Rabbi Manis Friedman changed our lives. We have applied to our local beit din for conversion and are awaiting the next steps. Baruch H-shem! Those of us who want to know are here and we are at the door and we are knocking. Thirsty for more knowledge and a relationship with H-shem. Anything less, simply will not do.
Did you convert?
I am a Ba'al Teshuva Jew born of ethnic Jewish parents who were ignorant of their ancestry and who by choice were Protestants. I am a Kosher Hassidic Jew today living in an Eruv with a Jewish wife and child.
What an amazing story. Inspirational and with so much conviction!
Shalom & waaaoo!😮 How Beautiful, energetic and exciting him and his wife spiritual path... 🥰❤🙏
מדהים איך לכל גר צדק יש את האמת בפנים ואיך השם עוזר לו למצוא אותה. הסיפור שחוזר על עצמו בצורה מדהימה כל פעם מחדש
beautiful....inspiring....light....may the authentic moshiach come and redeem the world...in our time...now!
He will soon arrive
One of the more remarkable attributes of converts is how Jewish they seem. It doesn’t matter the race, the ethnicity. It’s like they were Jewish all along.
Wow great story, what a charismatic individual so entertaining to listen to. As an Atheist with a Christian background I really struggle with the idea of a creator, but it is hard not to be moved by this level of passion.
Your soul seems to be groping it's way towards Hashem, since you're watching this channel. I, as a Jewess, was an existential nihilist for much of my younger adult life, and felt the same as you express here. Here I am now, after a long philosophical, spiritual journey, a Jewish "returnee". Just keep listening to the whispers of your soul and see where it takes you. (I'm not Jonathan Shaw but his wife - hence Jewess!)
I'm Muslim but I find this interesting. I respect all religion.
f*ck off stupid ass holes
i am an ex muslim and islam is man made religion amd muhamad was a false prophet
@Zaid Khan , threesomes are haram bro.
Zaid Khan, Jews and Christians are closer to Muslims than any other religion. They believe in the same God and have better morals than some Muslims. God guide us all to be better people inshallah.

Your story is amazing !!
Thank you for sharing !!
My life was changed 6 years ago, I have tried to keep to the faith of Abraham and keep to the torah. It is a very hard life , the Christians say we are going to hell, and the chabad Jews say we have no part in the Torah year after year. We will still keep the 613
Get stronger every day! Baby steps. There are many many many days
Thank you. We will now start to become a great light giving love and happiness to the world, one family at a time . And we are teaching the children to love there parents and the parents to love there children.
We have just started are new company bless G-d.
Amen
Are you a Jew now?
You can convert or observe 7 laws of Noah. Each way is good.
The more I learn about the Jewish people, the more fascinated I am. Judaism is truly a fascinating and beautiful religion with the most honest and hardworking people with the kindest hearts. It's a tragedy that such wonderful people have been and still are treated so poorly in our world. Sending all my thoughts and prayers to the Jewish community. May G-d bless this man and all the Jewish people and all those who are Fortunate to know him. My best wishes for this man and hoping the he finds happiness in his wonderful new faith as well as the best of luck to all people who struggle to find faith and find whatever faith makes them happy. 😀😀😀✡❤❤
OYE VEY WHAT A MISTAKE. FROM CHRISTIANITY TO A PAGAN RELIGION.
I love this guy ! He is a truth seeker. All negative commentators below are just knee-jerk dogmatic reactions without really contemplating what he is saying or having any knowledge base to speak about or just low class run of the mill anti-semites. If you don't want to listen to his story or disagree, that is fine - I'm sure there are many other you tube videos for you to enjoy. But please keep your anti-Semitic and/or ignorant dogmatic reactions to yourself. Thanks and have a nice life.
Bruce Bitterman ...if he's a truth-seeker, he would not have rejected the truth (Christ) in Christianity.
Bruce Bitterman ...I would not discourage people from telling the truth and giving the gospel to others if I were you......
He is a true NY character
indica 777 anybody truly interested in truth will see Torah is from Hashem. The New testament is not.

Terrific man! So happy for him and his wife!:)
I met this Rabbi and shook his hand. He's a cool dude and loves the G_d, the Torah and the Jewish People.
absolutely beautiful story mazel tov
I love this guy !!!! What energy . So cool 😎:)
The most ridiculous thing that some Christians say to us & harbor anger & resentment for is "THE JEWS KILLED JESUS!" Which in itself is absolute insanity from the Christian dogmatic perspective. The Christian scriptures clearly state that God sent Jesus to die for the sins of men, his whole purpose according to the "New" Testament was to die as a sacrifice for all humanitys sin... Jesus prayed in the Garden of Gethsemane that if it be God's will he must. & the famous "My God, my God why has thou forsaken me?" & his last words "It is finished" meaning that he had completed God's will.. But to hate the Jews & blame the Jews is not only is it absolute ignorance, but also apparent lack of knowledge of their own scriptures.
Trevor Martin Easy -- he wasn't the messiah. We follow the one true G-d, not men that people make into gods.
Trevor Martin Emperor Constantine created the divinity of Yeshua in 325 C.E. At the Council of Nicea. Not to mention that the book of the New Testament are out of order from the original Hebrew Bible. Changing or hiding facts still doesn't make it true, no matter how much so many people wish that the Jesus story was true. It's a beautiful story, but that is all.
michael23eitan the Gentiles killed Jesus not the Jews!
Oh that is a classic. I know it well. It's so ridiculous when they say that. I'm Jewish but I didn't kill him. They need to read their "holy" book and see what it actually says. Spoiler> The romans did.
Baruch Hashem, loved this so much!❤
What a wonderful story. I found a very similar narrative the closer I studied the Bible. The "New Testament" is made up. As for Yeshua the Nazarene I am absolutely certain he NEVER said he was G-d. One of many itinerant preachers who were called sons of G-d, after his execution people made up stuff about him.
This guy's ecstasy over Judaism is inspiring and I am happy for him that he was welcomed into the Jewish nation.
Tim, the early Jewish believers of Yeshua called themselves "Nazarines" of "The Way" & They kept the 7 Jewish feasts, ate kosher & kept the Sabbath but also had water baptism & the Lord's supper !!!! They did not have Christmas or Easter, but the Nazarines died out in the seventh century. There are Christians today who are what are called the Hebraic & Messianic !!!!!! BTW He said "Before Abraham was I am & one time Yeshua was reading a scroll of the book of Isaiah in a synagogue on the Sabbath & said today this scripture is fulfilled & He was the fulfilment & the people got angry & tried to kill Him, but He escaped them !!!!!
"I was born in Brooklyn." We never would have guessed. Great video.
Thank you. Your experience was very interesting.
What a wonderful man! Blessings to you!
thank you , thank you for sharing your journey . and lifting up my soul to Hashem .

THERE'S NOTHING THAT'S NOT JEWISH ABOUT THIS YID. I'm weak. From looks, to attitude, to his voice...he's Yiddish.
I was raised a Roman Catholic, but when God woke me up I found my religion in Hinduism. Now I strive to be a simple Hindu, which to me means, to live simply and to contemplate life highly.
It is always such a beautiful phenomena to see a person find their religion. For the fact is, one's religion is not always the religion we are born in.
A genuine spiritual teacher can judge the spiritual disposition of a person and point out to them where their path lies, even if it is not the same path or religion that that spiritual teacher adheres to. How many know of such religious teachers? They are rare and precious because true love (God) guides their lives and not the churches of their respective religions.
So beware of the wolves in sheep clothing (the priests, preachers, religious teachers, etc. of any religion) who attempt to convert everyone to their own beliefs, rituals and traditions.
Shalom, shanti, salaam.
+Arthur Sanchez Both Catholicism and Hinduism are full of idolatry.
Saw him speak at the Chabad that I daven at. Great speaker.
I do hope to hear him speak some day :)
Born & grown up Italian Catholic, but is clearly a Jewish soul. I don't know how to explain it, but his body language & personality is clearly Jewish from before birth.
i love this guy he speak the truth more like onkelos after pop resign this is the best thing i have seen
RUclips is full of people who changed their religion - to or from Judaism, Christianity or Islam.
All who changed did so for good reasons.
Instead of arguing with them, why not be happy that they've found a faith which makes THEM each a better person?
Really inspiring for me, on similar journey. Thank you!
The Jews of New York (very chassidic) can make it snow in summer. .. That is what is called "an inside joke". God loves them who love Him.
God he's no respecter of persons. He loves all people equally .
There is no access to Him, except through Jesus Christ.

Great story love how this person found his way back to the Torah. It is very true about how he says that Christianity is based on paganism. I personally also come from a christian background but I also found my way back to the Holy Torah thanks to the Jewish Messiah Yahshua which did NOT come to Abolish the Torah or the prophets (Matiyahu 5:17). I did found out that my ancestors were Spanish Jews from Sefard but due to the Spanish inquisition they lost their Hebrew roots and were forced to convert to christianity..
eshalom salguero Please share more. Share as to how you've converted to your current religion. I'm struggling as to whether Christ is truly the Messiah or not as of lately and admittedly, when I've read the Torah a while back I felt highly convicted. I came from a Catholic background even though not heavily practicing, but just enough to have basic requirements in order 'to be saved'. As much as I've tried to take that away, I realized that I had this to identify myself even if I'm no longer Catholic at heart. I have heard from various of sources, testimonies, sermons and sections and I was convinced by each for a little while, especially while I was struggling. I still am but I'm more aware as to how people use tactics to get at other's emotions and follow/donate to their cause. Another words, I'm in a mess and need to know if there's really Truth that I've longed to hear and follow or if I'm just wasting my time.
Hi Nikki just finished reading your comment, I think I can relate to what you're going through since I too went through something similar. I agree with you since there are so many religions which claim have the truth but are full of man made commandments and beliefs that actually separate people from the Creator. Currently I don't consider myself belonging to any religion, initially I could relate to the messianic movement because of the Hebrew roots aspect but as I've been learning more about the Messiah I can see that even some messianic beliefs still have a pagan concept of the Messiah and do not necessarily stick to the Hebrew concept of Mashiaj. Although I'm still learning to see the scriptures through Hebrew eyes, one thing that is very clear to me is that if it weren't for our Mashiaj we would have no way of even beginning to understand terms like love, compassion, justice and more importantly forgiveness. As I was reading the Torah portion for this week which is Shemini (eighth) It came to my attention that sometimes good intentions can have fatal consequences. I believe there's an orderly way of doing things especially when it comes to our spirituality and we cannot just do what someone tells us to do according to their understanding of scriptures. That's when our Messiah comes in, he is a truly wise Rabi who knows how to interpret and live the Torah according to the Father's wishes and we really need to learn from him to truly establish a close relationship to the Holy Father. I hope this is helpful, if there's any way I can be of help let me know. Take care!

I was always told I was 50% Italian but it turned out I was 50% Jewish mostly sephardic and ashkenazi and a lot of the jews were from Italy. So you were probably already ethnically Jewish but it may or may have not been on your maternal side but luckily for me it was it was on my mother's mother's side and also my father's father
God Bless you. I was told by an elder that I was not a Christian because I told them I did not believe in the trinity. So I left
FINALLY! There are people that I can talk to about this! I did read my Student bible (New International Version). I looked up online: Bethelem Eprathah, sorry if I got this wrong, is the name of a town or two, as well as the name of a clan from one of those towns. Us Christians don't read the Bible thoroughly or look after what it says. I admit it: We Christians aren't always that great.
If one really want to follow Jesus, one would study scriptures, which is why most people who profess to be Christians are not.

I absolutely love this - I am at the beginning of my journey - I left the church over 3 yrs ago and found myself in a middle ground of sorts - an opportunity to find Judaism and I fell in love and then I left that because it was still part of christianity and today, I’m taking in as much as I can and taking my cues to where HaShem is leading me. I am an ex-xtian and I love Judaism and my hearts desire is to be Jewish. Thank you for sharing your journey. 💙✡️

Someone can fight the real religion and unique... just amazing kol Akavod Hazak
You are incorrect Anwar. Since the Exodus from Egypt (before the giving of Torah) Judaism has always accepted and honored converts. The same is true of Islam. In both religions the majority is not Semitic. Both religions accept converts.
, you speak a lie of Satan. People are dying for being Christians in the Middle East. And those are the Islamists who are literally follow the Quran who are killing them, not those who call themselves 'Muslim'.
Only difference is that Rabbi's today charge thousands of dollars for converts, shame on them pretending to he sincere while only looking to make as much money as possible. I believe it's much easier to convert to Islam unless you research the right rabbi for your conversion.
@@antireptile Hi John, you correct. It MUCH MUCH easier to convert to Islam or Christianity than Judaism. Absolutely correct. One can convert to either of those by uttering a simple prayer (either the Shahada or "Lord Jesus have mercy on me."
You are also, sadly, correctly that many Rabbis and rabbinic organizations charge a LOT of money to convert to Judaism. Not all of them do, but many do. What is really "costly" about converting to Judaism is the time it takes and the living conditions required. There are solid reasons for these requirements. Judaism is not a belief system, its a Covenant with the Living G-d. Because of the replacements like Christianity and Islam most non-Jews (and many Jews sadly) do not understand what it means to be Jewish halachically (ie according to Jewish/biblical law). Learning and incorporating these truths, principles and traditions is not easy. Hence much study and direct experience is required. Those who are sincere undergo these difficulties.
Unlike Islam and Christianity Judaism does not believe not teach that people need to convert in order to know and/or please G-d. Anyone can embrace the Seven Law Covenant and receive what the other religions refer to as "salvation", enlightenment, etc. As a rabbi I discourage conversion in almost every case. It is difficult to convert, it is unnecessary, it often posses serious difficulties for those who do within their families and their social circles. Unlike born Jews converts willingly accept upon themselves the whip of antisemitism and in some cases physical abuse or even death. Historically we are the most hated people on earth. Joining the Tribe can have VERY negative repercussions.
Those who are determined however can convert, but don't expect it to be easy. Jewish life certainly is not!
@@elizabethdurbin3255 Hi Elizabeth, not sure if you were addressing me or someone else. I never said Christians are not under terrible persecution. Welcome to club! We are the most hated people on earth. I do not support Islam or Christianity, although I will note that far more Jews have suffered and died at the hands of Christians than Muslims.
@@RabbiShlomoNachman, actually converting to Christianity is a lot harder than you think. You can say the sinners prayer but if you don't change, you are just saying words. Ones life has to put action into those words. Sometimes one is confused what living a Christian life is like. But there are those who mistakenly believe saying that prayer saves them. As Paul says in the New Testament, Faith without works is dead. Sadly their are too many false Christians. Too long one group has called themselves something other than Christian yet people believe they are. I was raised in that one but walked away to truly pursue Jesus and his teachings. If groups had followed Jesus, those actions toward Jews would have been different. Recently, Christian groups have been reaching out to Jews and Israel because we know Jesus lived on this earth as a Jew and wouldn't want us to treat them badly.
Xristians love to convert others, they invest much money in this quest, but let a xristian convert, and just look at these comments...lol

All I know is I grew up Christian asking questions about the faith as well. Mine was luthern Protestant and other churches and no one could answer me why Jews followed Torah and kept the feasts and the Sabbath while Christian's did easter and Christmas.... And I asked where were the Jews to explain scripture reading, but the experts were those who took a Hebrew and Greek class, rather than asking a Jew who read the Bible in Hebrew. Hmmm changes meaning and understanding. After my stepdad passed away I went on a deep run and search finding Torah and Yeshua.
Have the balls to at least spell out the name of the Christian faith. You don’t see people disrespecting Hinduism, Sikhism, Taoism, Islam or Judaism that way.

Aside from this wonderful journey and story, New York City Jews and Italians are often very similar culturally; close families, emotional, expressive. You can see this in movies. Lenny Bruce once said "a New York Italian is more Jewish than a Jew from Indiana."

Passover is extremely important because it teaches how to stay out of bondage, which is one of the most important teachings in Judaism. Bondage creates toxic co-dependencies that enslave human beings.

ONLY YESHUA IS THE TRUTH !!!HE IS THE LAMB OF GOD!!!!!!PRAY FOR A REVELATION OF GOD JUST LORD CAN SHOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Joao pereira Stop shouting. The 'lamb of god' is pagan (look up Dionysius). The Jews sacrificed sheep and goats because they were the pagan gods and by killing them we showed those "gods" had no power over the real G-d. "What we will sacrifice to HaShem our L-rd is sacred to the Egyptians. Could we sacrifice the sacred animal (seh, a lamb or goat) of the Egyptians before their very eyes and not have them stone us?”
So feel free to worship the Egyptian lamb god. Have at it.
yeshua is the one he is in tanahk read isaias 53 god bless its enought
may the evil are doing a work fo make jews confused when the truth messiah come yeshua he was promissed in the beggining ,,,,god bless!!
Joao pereira Isaiah 53 is a poem about the suffering servant, but not the servant you think. The servant is not Jesus, but Israel.
Isaiah 41:8 says: "But thou, Israel, art my servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, the seed of Abraham my friend."
Isaiah 44:1 says: "Yet now hear, O Jacob my servant: and Israel, whom I have chosen: Thus saith the L-rd that made thee, and formed thee from the womb, which will help thee: Fear not, O Jacob, my servant: and thou, Jeshurun, whom I have chosen."
Isaiah 45:4 talking about king Cyrus, says: "For Jacob my servant's sake, and Israel mine elect, I have even called thee by thy name: I have surnamed thee, though thou hast not known me."
And then the famous chapter 52:13 continues the same Idea of Israel, G-d's servant:
Isaiah 52:13 says: Behold, my servant shall deal prudently, he shall be exalted and extolled, and be very high.
Can you see now that G-d's servant is Israel, not Jesus in Isaiah chapter 52:13 and 53. By the way, there are more passages in the previous chapters to 53 that say the same thing over and over again about Israel. Blessings!
Joao pereira Jesus was not the Lord. He practiced alchemy that he learned in Egypt and went back to demonstrate his magick, performing his “works”. Jesus was a very clever man but he was not G-d. You’ve been had.
Amazing transformation.....so cool
Jesus was a Jew, and I think he would know what the real truth is since he is the son of God. So Jesus is a Jew but an entire religion forms around Jesus without ever asking why he was a Jew.
Night Train Hobo Wine he was a Jew but he donated that the Jews are the chosen people and only him is chosen, he was an ego mamiak, deserved his dead
If the church fathers say JC is god, it doesn't matter what JC say and what JC meant it.

Bada bing,now I'm a frekin Jew .
Oy vey!
This man’s story is so similar to mine.
Just to clarify - this guy was not a real "practicing" Christian. He grew up Catholic just attending church and his friends influenced him while he was still a teen. He never did having a saving faith in Jesus Christ. Nobody that ever believed in Jesus the Messiah would stop believing in Him. Jesus is the only way to God, he alone is the Savior. No one else can save you, you are lost without Messiah.
+Shaka you know what your pushing is bigotry right, supercessionism is racism!
+Duo We Jews are stiff necked people. We are people of proof. SO PROVE IT! That was rhetorical. I know you cant prove it.
You clearly did not watch the whole video, because if you did you wouldn't have made that statement.
The concept of the Messiah coming to die for your sins is an invention of the New Testament. False doctrine. Not found anywhere in the Hebrew Scriptures. The Doctrine of the Trinity is idolatry and is also false, an invention of Tertullian.
Wow I'm watching this from Oklahoma right now
This guy who says he was a Christian pastor before really never knew God in a personal way. That's why he left the Truth. If he knew Jesus Christ in such a personal way he wouldn't have done it. He knew about God, but he didn't know God in a personal way. And that's a big difference. Everything in the Tanakh points to Jesus as the Messiah. It's just that they refuse to hear the truth.
Nothing in our Tanakh points to Jesus. Go away. Please leave us Jews alone. Please!
Tanakh points to many messiahs, that's why most christians are ignorant in history,
Reb Mordcha MAY BE YOU TALKING ABOUT TALMUD NOT TANAKH YOUR PROFET DANIEL GIVE EVEN TIME THAT HE WIL COME BUT YOU DONT BELIEV ,,PSALM 22 SHOW CRUCIFICTION FIRST COMING PSALM 2 SHOW SECOND COMING IN POWER GOD CALL HIM MY SON IS MASSIAH ISAIAS 53 SHOW HIS SUFFERING IN FIRST COMING HE IS YESHUA READ IT CARFULLY DONT GO TO TALMUD DONT GO TO RABINIC INTERPRETATION ASK TO YOUR FATHER GIVE YOU REVELETION!!!!READ IT!!!!!!!GO BLESS JEW!

"Organic" is a made-up, unscientific label which has no link to the scientific definition of an "organic" compound, which is any which contains carbon-hydrogen or carbon-carbon bonds. This applies to the overwhelming majority of carbon compounds as well as pretty much everything and anything of biological origin
I am moving to Spokane! Hope to find an Orthodox Jewish shul and start converting G-d willing :)
@tonguemybumb Not same god, Because Judaism' god has no children.
beautiful
poor man
he never knew Lord Savior Yeshua, never. May this man met Jesus personaly and change his life, and born again to be saved. No salvation in judaism of today, but salvation is only in Yeshua Jewish Lord amd Moshiach. Amen!
He is jewish! I thought you yeshuas were jews?!
+Christopher „Chris“ Martin No they are not.
Just found out that christ was not called yeshuah, but an aramaic rendering of jesus.
yeshuahagoel777 ,stupid, we are the chosen people by god, he gave us the blessings and the tora- the holly book, he chose us to serve him, not anyone else
That is your point of view but the whole point is that Jews do not need saving because they do not need an intermediary between them and their G_d. Christians believe that everyone needs saving whilst Jews believe that christians are pagans and are therefore dambed.
Jesus abolished the law and gave us and saved us by His grace =)

Yoshka has no authority to abolish any law in the Torah. That's one of the grave errors of Christian idolatry.
That comment shows that you have zero understanding of what you're talking about. Your guy has zero power to abolish or establish any laws. Nobody has any power to change the Laws, it says so multiple times in the Tanach. Don't post idolatry
He never knew Christ to begin with.
He never understood the purpose of the Torah.
No, you're just an anti-Semite 😉

Two Jews, Three Opinions
Why would anyone want to know a false prophet?
I love the zeal and love for Shabbos 💙✡️ - that’s spirituality
This dude made up so much stuff is amazing. I don't have the time or the patience for the breakdown but anyway... His questions about things like confessions and sacraments could have been answered by anyone with the most basic grasp of Catholic dogma.
Countless Catholics go to public schools. I'm of a half Orthodox (Christian)/Catholic on paper family (completely non religious), I spent some time in Catholic schools, not because I HAD to go there as a Catholic but because my family could afford it.
Most Catholics go to Public Schools NOT Catholic Schools.
At the point I stopped watching. Won't listen to an hour long video by someone who made up 4 or 5 things and then blew it out of proportion with generous amounts of hyperbole in 4 minutes.
+Mihalis Benko I understand your point that some of his statements are questionable. But, I would say you are missing the forest through the trees. Many Christians silently struggle with theology that does not make sense, at least among those Christians who care about the truth at all. If one desire to get to the bottom of the matter, one will search and appraise endlessly until one finds peace. The most widespread theological discomfort in Christianity is how to make sense of the trinity and how a man obviously lacking in all the divine attributes can be identical with God. Tertullian's evasion of these questions, calling it a "mystery," is most definitely not satisfying, since one could give the same answer to any false religion's claims.
Judaism provides the answer to these theological crises. As one researches more, one finds that Paul's claims which necessitate Jesus (original sin, curse of the Law, atonement by deity sacrifice, and so forth) are nowhere to be found in the Hebrew Bible. If the problem doesn't exist, then neither does the cure. Moreover, Paul and the NT are all writing in Greek and from a very Hellenistic (pagan) viewpoint.
Again, Judaism brings peace to those who discover these difficulties within Christianity.
I hope you can appreciate that.
There's no problem with Gods nature.
Jesus has all the attributes of the Father ,
He is the the same essence as the Father
He is the creator
He is the Savior
He is the sustains of all things
He is Lord of the Sabbath
He is Judge of humanity
He is our rest
to name a few
Judaism is a religion
religion is man made
God doesn't call us into religion he calls us to relationship
sonship.
The way to his holy dwelling place is open to us so we can go straight to him
experience his presence,
and hear his voice in our spirit.
Or even audibly
MR. FITTA Judaism is the "religion" that was made by God Himself, by His own commandments. Christianity was made by Paul (a man who never met Jesus) and less so by Jesus (a man) insofar as we can trust the accounts of the authors (men) regarding Jesus.
You apparently have trouble distinguishing between CLAIMS and DEMONSTRATIONS. Krishna CLAIMED to be the creator, savior, sustainer of all things, etc. Baal claimed, also. And so did all these other alleged man-gods: Adrammelch, Amon, Anammelech, Ashram, Ashima, Ashtoreth, Baal-Berith, Baal-Peor, Baal-Zebub, Chemosh, Dagon, Gad, Kalwan, Marduk, Malcham, Molech, Nebo, Nehushtan, Nergal, Nibhaz, Ishtar, Rimmon, Sikkuth, Succoth Benoth, Tammuz, Tartak, and others. They all had their false scriptures and their big claims. As each new one was put forward, the idolators said: "Oh, this one's different!"
So, now, you say: "But, Jesus is different!"
Fortunately, God, whose first two commandments are prohibitions against worshipping false gods, provided us an EASY test to determine whether something claimed to be God really is that. God revealed to us some (but, of course not all) of His essential attributes. If anything fails even ONE of these, then that thing is NOT God (i.e. is a false god). A false god can fail either by failing to demonstrate an attribute or by contradicting an attribute. A failure is also a rejection. Thus, we will test your claim that Jesus has all the essences of God.
God is absolutely immutable (never changing). Was Jesus absolutely immutable? No, quite the opposite. He contradicted this attribute, changing from unborn to born, from child to adult, from alive to dead, etc.. In fact, merely being a physical body entails being in a constant state of change. Thus, Jesus is NOT God. God is omnipresent (unformed, infinitely extended). Was Jesus omnipresent ? No, quite the opposite. Jesus contradicted this attribute, in merely having the form of a man. Thus, Jesus is NOT God. God is INFINITELY powerful. Did Jesus ever display INFINITE power? No. In fact, Jesus says ‘My Father is greater than I’ (John 14:28), and ‘I can of mine own self do nothing.’ (John 5:30), etc. Thus, Jesus is NOT God. God is INFINITELY knowledgable. Did Jesus ever display INFINITE knowledge? No, Jesus says 'No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the son, but only the Father.’ (Mark 13:32). Thus, Jesus is NOT God. I could go on, but I've just shown Jesus has already failed this test four times, and any single one is a total and complete failure.
In absolutely NO way did Jesus do anything more than CLAIM (or had it claimed of him) that he was God. Yet, just like others who claimed the same thing (Krishna, Caesar, etc.) their very beings testify conclusively to the lie.
Finally, God makes it quite clear that He is not a man, nor the son of man, nor like anything on the earth, nor containable in any form. Note, contra the lies of missionaries, God's statements here are, in Hebrew, asserting (i) God is not a man, AND THEREFORE (ii) God does not lie. The key word here is the Hebrew word וִ (wi’) which is translated “and therefore.”
"God is not a man and therefore He does not lie; neither is He the son of man and therefore he does not repent." - Numbers 23:19
"And also the Strength of Israel [God] will not lie nor repent: for he is not a man, that he should repent. " - I Samuel 15:29
"I will not execute the fierceness of mine anger, I will not return to destroy Ephraim: for I am God, and not man; the Holy One in the midst of thee: and I will not enter into the city" [Hosea 11:9]
"For I will at this time send all my plagues upon thine heart, and upon thy servants, and upon thy people; that thou mayest know that there is none like me in all the earth" [Exodus 9:14]
“But will God indeed dwell on the earth? Behold, heaven and the highest heaven cannot contain You, how much less this house which I have built!” (1 Kings 8:27) [and how much less still a material form!]
“Because He [God] is not a man (אִישׁ human), as I am, so [it is not possible] I should answer him, and we should come together in judgment.” (Job 9:32)
"Now, to whom will you compare Me that I should be equal?" says the Holy One. (Isaiah 40:25 (cf40:18))
Malachi 3:6 : "I am the Lord, I do not change…”. [That God does not change implies the impossibility of taking on physical form, which would necessarily imply change, as all physical matter is in a state of constant flux.]
This is a complete proof that Jesus is a false god. Any scripture stating Jesus is God is therefore a false scripture, and God's "holy spirit" could not have inspired it.
Good presentation, but you are mistaken on many points, so I'll deal with the main ones
First of all the names you mention represent dead-deceased individuals or myths
Jesus is different on this level because he is alive today and active in the life of his body.
Whether you accept the bibles authority on this or not(eg the witnesses who saw him when he rose, the fact that others who died rose etc) is another topic.
The claim that Saul never met Jesus is ridiculous the account is clear, and I suggest you read it Acts chapter 9.
One point here I accept the truth of the Hebrew bible as well as the NT(New covenant writings) and if we are to scrutinize one we must scrutinize the other with the same lens,
So in anticipation of the usual "the new testament is not inspired, has so many contradictions" etc I'm saying both are inspired of God.
When we say that Jesus is the same essence as the Father it means that all of who God is, is in the Son.
who spoke to Moses out of the bush?
who appeared to Jacob at Luz, called Bethel?
why did Jacob when blessing Josephs children refer to the Angel to confer blessing upon them?
who lead Israel out of Egypt?
Does the Almighty leave his heavenly dwelling to reside in a building ?
and so I could go on...
In the beginning is the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning.
Through him all things were made and without him nothing was made that has been made.
The word became flesh and made his dwelling among us...
This statement alone deals with all you have said
Jesus(the Word of God incarnate)....God taking a form
Jesus is the creator
Jesus was, before time- to be with God in the beginning- he was already there
When we say God is not a man that he would lie ....
has nothing to do with his nature, but his character.
Lets not forget that the nature of God was not an issue then
And finally again I'll reiterate.....
all those statements you made about God the Father I agree 100%,
where you fall short is not being able to grasp they apply to the Son.
God did not end his plan to save mankind at Sinai....
In the past God spoke to our Fathers(Israel) at many times and in various ways.
But in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son
whom he appointed heir of all things and through whom he made the universe.
The Son is the radiance of Gods glory and the exact representation of his being sustaining all things by his powerful word.
First, you are assuming the trinity in your statement, yet that is the very point under contention. The trinity is an incoherent doctrine, a self-contradiction. God's essence or nature includes certain revealed attributes. These are given to us that we may obey His #1 commandment: THOU SHALT NOT WORSHIP ANY OTHERS BEFORE ME. We can *easily* identify false gods by means of these revealed attributes. A failure to demonstrate even ONE of these attributes is a complete failure and a proof the claimant to divinity is a false god.
God is immutable, yet Jesus changed from unborn to born, from child to man, from alive to dead. Thus, Jesus is not God. Or again, God is omnipresent, having infinite extension. Yet, Jesus had form, and so had limited extension. This contradicts God's essential attribute. Therefore, Jesus is a false god. Jesus gave NO demonstration of INFINITE power. In fact, he many times says the OPPOSITE: John 12:49: "For I did not speak of my own accord, but the Father who sent me commanded me what to say and how to say it." - How can he be infinitely powerful and yet be commanded by the Father? Or, again: Matthew 26:39: "He advanced a little and fell prostrate in prayer, saying, ‘My Father if it is possible, let this cup pass from me; yet, not as I will, but as you will".Jesus gave NO demonstration of INFINITE knowledge. In fact, he admits the OPPOSITE: Mark 13:32: "No one knows the day or hour, not even the angels in Heaven nor the Son, but ONLY the Father."
Even there were a trinity, Jesus could not be a member, since Jesus lacks or contradicts the divine attributes.
The trinity is also an obvious paganism. I could go on and on about the internal incoherence of this idea, but this suffices to capture the main idea: God says: *I* am one, besides *ME* there are no others. (e.g. Isaiah 45:5; 44:6). This is ONE PERSON speaking (using "I" and "ME"), and this ONE PERSON is saying: THERE ARE NO OTHERS. -- The singular person of God is rejecting the trinity.
Hear God's own words and then be ashamed of your idolatry:
"God is not a man, and therefore, [not] deceiving; neither the son of man, and therefore [not] repenting.” - Numbers 23:19
"And also the Strength of Israel will not lie nor repent: for he is not a man, and therefore [not] repenting. " - I Samuel 15:29
"I will not execute the fierceness of mine anger, I will not return to destroy Ephraim: for I am God, and therefore not man; the Holy One in the midst of thee: and I will not enter into the city" [Hosea 11:9]
"For I will at this time send all my plagues upon thine heart, and upon thy servants, and upon thy people; that thou mayest know that there is none like me in all the earth" [Exodus 9:14]
“But will God indeed dwell on the earth? Behold, heaven and the highest heaven cannot contain You, how much less this house which I have built!” (1 Kings 8:27) [and how much less still a material form!]
“Because He [God] is not a man (אִישׁ human), as I am, so [it is not possible] I should answer him, and we should come together in judgment.” (Job 9:32)
"Now, to whom will you compare Me that I should be equal?" says the Holy One. (Isaiah 40:25 (cf40:18))
Malachi 3:6 : "I am the Lord, I do not change…”. [That God does not change implies the impossibility of taking on physical form, which would necessarily imply change, as all physical matter is in a state of constant flux.]
“I am YHWH, that is My name; I will not give My glory to another, Nor My praise to graven images.” (Isaiah 42:8)
To be or not to be ... they were Yours and You gave them to me ...
Matthew 7:15-20 Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. 16 You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles? 17 Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 Therefore by their fruits you will know them.
Incredible.
