The popular definition of righteousness as being in right standing with God works for its English meaning. But the Bible was not originally written in English. I have always been thrown off by the word every time I read it in the Bible. I wanted to know not just its Hebrew etymology but also how the ancient people practiced it. This video shed some light on the latter. I have a feeling that it is one of those words that changed its dynamics as we transitioned from the Old to the New covenant.
Great video that's clear and concise. The word means charity. Watch people slowly start putting their on spin on it, which led to multiple denominations and other religious practices. Humans have this urge to bend points that fit them. It's simple, the word means charity. If you don't like the definition of the worhs righteousness, then pick another word that fits your narrative.
Tzedaka describes the overall character of a person. It's not just a random act of charity. It's the nature of that person to be charitable, kind, just, etc. It's taking on the very nature of God. The righteousness of God. It can't be something that you do to make yourself feel good when you throw a dollar in the basket at church. It's the things you do for others because you have love for others, not just those who love you. It's action. It's selflessness. It's giving of yourself.
True. But doesn't it take practice to develop that character? A child may not feel charitable the first time his parent asked him to give his ice cream away. But over the years might he not begin to appreciate it as he matures?
@@majigaining I don't know if you have any children, but those who do know that each of them seem to have a different character. Some children have a desire to do right, to be kind to others. Other children are selfish and unfeeling toward others. Some of it is learned, but a lot of it is genetic (the bad apple). Christian scripture describes us as either being good ground or bad ground when we hear the word of God. Some people embrace the teachings of God and obey them, others embrace them briefly and then return to their old self. Narrow is the path to life, wide is the path that brings destruction. Look at the prisons in this country, what majority is constantly needing incarceration. The genetic makeup of a person determines a lot. Although most people would rather be politically correct and deny it.
@@spartaeusOk here's the problem. Intentionally or unintentionally you, like many others mix truth and personal understanding together presenting it as truth. The man gave you the word "Righteousness", the entomology and definition. The word means charity, period. Not all this other BS you're twisting it to be. Random acts of kindness is charitable and honored by God. You're turning it into a lifestyle that you feel defines YOUR perception. Stop it! God knows your heart. So if you're not a cheerful giver (charity) then you aren't pleasing God, period. It's also common sense. Please stop twisting, the word is good enough. 🤦🏿♂️
Where is this hebrew word originally found in the Bible? I'm studying a lot about righteousness right now but I cannot find more than one or two verses with this word originally in it. Please help!
In its deeper spiritual meaning, righteousness is the quality of being right in the eyes of God, including character (nature), conscience (attitude), conduct (action), and command (word). Righteousness is, therefore, based upon God’s standard because He is the ultimate Lawgiver (Isaiah 33:22). quoted from Christianity.com
Holy is- kadosh. Like when you say- the "holy land" You say it in Hebrew- aretz (land) kdosha (holy). The -a in the end of "kdosha", you add when you refer the holiness to the land.
Phenomenal, My Brother! Do the next video on Justice, bevakasha (please)! One Love!
I love it. I love how you spin things for us. This definitely changes everything.

Can you do the Hebrew word for sin?

Hebrew word for respect.
Hebrew word for Holy.
Holy is- kadosh.
Like when you say- the "holy land"
You say it in Hebrew- aretz (land) kdosha (holy).
The -a in the end of "kdosha", you add when you refer the holiness to the land.
And in Hebrew- הארץ הקדושה
