    Rabbi Locks, I'm an American Muslim woman and love watching your videos. I have learned a lot about Judaism by doing so, and reading your responses to people's comments. You are blessed to be born into such a great religion. I look forward to seeing more videos from you. Shalom.

    When i was a christian,i was told that jesus was the only man in history to keep all of g-d laws, and he was the only person ever who truly kept the 10 commandments, but he broke the sabbath. now I'm seeing all these contradictions. i will be converting to judaism. because no matter how many times i tried to stay christian as i was slipping away, no now could answer my questions except for jews.

    Isaiah 53 sounds like you want it to sound because you ignore the facts Isaiah wrote in 41:8 "You, Israel are my servant Jacob you are my servant" In chap 49:3 Isaiah says “You are My servant Israel”
    There is no reason to imagine that the servant spoken of in 53, or anywhere else is a different servant than the one the Prophet already named & it is not the one you are voting for. It is Israel who is also call Jacob (i.e. The Jewish people) You are inventing scripture to fit your hopes.

    @gutmanlocks  11 лет назад +32

    chris, the one who restores the Temple and your choice did not do that. The one who brings peace in the family not war like your choice said he came for. One whose father is from the tribe of Judah and your choice does not even have a Jewish father according to your book! Do yourself a favor. Just worship the Infinite Father and pray that the messiah will come very soon. be well

    I am not religious myself and don't take sides with either religion but I liked that you seemed to know more about Christianity than the Pastor knew about Judaism. So often, people criticize a religion (or any perspective) without understanding what it is.

  • @gutmanlocks
    @gutmanlocks  10 лет назад +11

    When you turn your heart to someone you are showing them love When you turn your heart away from someone you are turning away from them, showing them disfavor, hatred The prophet said in the end days right before the Redemption G-d is going to send the prophet to bring the children's hearts to their fathers & their fathers' hearts to them This means that there will be peace between them The "new" book quotes their man/god saying that he did not come to bring peace in the family but only war

  • @easygoer4ever985
    @easygoer4ever985 10 лет назад +13

    Thanks so much Rabbi! We have so many verses in the Jewish Bible telling us that G-d has NO FORM at all, and that G-d is Not a man, G-d is Not a mortal and Not a human. These Xtians respond by stating well there is no verse in the Jewish Bible stating that G-d can't become one. As if that means anything at all? No. There is no verse stating G-d can't become a horse,dog,cat,etc etc. But we know G-d is Unlimited,Infinite,Eternal and has No Form, and cannot become limited and finite. How typical of these Xtians.

    Rabbi!!! i love your wisdom and love and utter sincerity. I am a Christian man if Jesus is not the Messiah then Christians are of all men to be pitied we would be the most horrendous Idolitors among the nations God would judge us and would be just to do so. I love the Torah and all the prophets, BUT i am a Gentile and have no way of being born into the house of Israel what must i do? it is only in the New Testament where i find that by coming to Jesus and repenting of my sin that I can be adopted "spiritually" into the house of Israel "being born again" which happend to me. It was only in Jesus that i found that hope. I believe His salvation would spread to the nations and Jesus is the only one ive ever heard of that granted that. As a gentile who has sinned against God, Jesus is the only one I can put my hope in I know of no other. I love you Rabbi!!! do you see why gentiles cling to Jesus for dear life!!?? haha Grace and peace Rabbi Locks

    • @gutmanlocks
      @gutmanlocks  9 лет назад +22

      You are reading from a x-ian translation so you do not understand what is written. It is a shame that you are wasting your life. For instance, at least three times Isaiah names that servant yet you ignore that because you want him to be talking about your fictitious idol. Yacov, Israel is named as the servant. Your man god is not everywhere. G-d is everywhere. But you will not change because of what i show you. You will have to find it yourself.

    One other thing that deserves mention: The "virgin birth". When the torah was translated into greek, the hebrew word meaning "young-maiden" was mistranslated into "virgin." Nowhere in the tanach does it state that the birth of meshiach will be from a virgin, but rather, it will be from a young maiden. Even Abraham and Sarah had their child through natural conception, despite the miraculous age at which sarah gave birth to isaac

  • @gutmanlocks
    @gutmanlocks  9 лет назад +44

    The clearest Torah example of the principle that Jewish lineage goes according to the mother is seen with Avraham and Sarah. Their son Isaac was a Jew (Hebrew) because Sarah was a “Jew”. Yet Avraham and Hagar’s son Ishmael was an Egyptian, because his mother was an Egyptian.
    But, the actual Biblical halachic (Jewish law) reference is found in the book of Deuteronomy.
    We are warned against intermarriage, “…you shall not give your daughter to his son, and you shall not take his daughter for your son, for he will cause your child to turn away from after Me and they will worship the gods of others…”
    The commentaries explain that “he will cause your child …” refers to the non Jewish man “married” to your daughter who will cause “your child” to turn away…that is… the children of your daughter are yours (Jews). It does not say that “she (the non Jewish “wife”) will take your children away because her children are not considered yours in this sense.
    The fact is that mothers have a much closer bond with their children than do fathers, and this bond is not just emotional, it is spiritual, too.

    • @gutmanlocks
      @gutmanlocks  9 лет назад +8

      G-d is Infinite. The Infinite is unlimited, so It is everywhere. According to your book that man you worship is not in the grave. Psalms says "If I am in hell G-d is there" G-d is everywhere. Your man-god is not everywhere. You are worshiping a limited god. This is idolatry. Worship the Father, the King, the Infinite One.

    • @gutmanlocks
      @gutmanlocks  9 лет назад +7

      G-d fills and surrounds all. There is nothing beside G-d. You are worshiping a form and this is idolatry. Worship the Holy One Who is everywhere and not a man who is not in the grave (nor my heart-thank G-d)

    • @gutmanlocks
      @gutmanlocks  9 лет назад +8

      G-d is present everywhere at all times. The Bible there is referring to G-d's revealed presence which is reserved only for certain times and places and people

    • @gutmanlocks
      @gutmanlocks  9 лет назад +8

      Just worship the Father, the King and stop worshiping a limited man-god. You want the best for yourself, don't you. Use your head. G-d is everywhere. That man-god is not everywhere.

    • @gutmanlocks
      @gutmanlocks  8 лет назад +7

      Read the Buddhist bible for their opinion and then there are other bibles too. Why do you chose to believe only your little bible when there are so many others out there? You did not see what happened if it happened at all and you are betting your eternal life on a tale that someone told you, and he too did not see it but only heard it from someone else who did not see it.

  • @PaulyD623
    @PaulyD623 11 лет назад +3

    Rabbi, what are your feelings on those of us who are Jews, yet we found Y'shua to be the Promised One? He is the Prophet mentioned in Deuteronomy 18:18. When I was growing up, I was not allowed to even read the New Testament, so when I hit my teen years, I finally had the opportunity to read it for myself. There is such life behind these scriptures. G-d poured His grace out upon His Apostles. Also, the reason Y'shua brouht war, is because G-d's Word creates division among people. Shalom.

  • @jaevierum
    @jaevierum 10 лет назад +7

    Dear Rabbi, I've been looking for the answers you gave in this video in so many books and never got anything even close to this. I was raised as a catholic, but as soon as I sincerely started to seek for God this questions about Jesus' divinity would not leave me in peace. A jewish american family sent me the Torah, a book of prayers and songs, and some other books about judaism, and now I feel that I've found my real faith. Do you think that I could convert to judaism, formaly?. Shalom.

    • @gutmanlocks

I have been reading a researching the Bible and have come to the conclusion that Jesus isn't the messiah! I am now a true Noahide! I am also thinking of becoming a Jew (even if it's not necessary for salvation) because I want to be pure and honor God, and to guard and spread the Word of the Torah. We will see where God leads me.

    A plural ending can mean more than one as in people or it can mean multiple without implying more than one as in water. The ending you are referring to in the creation is the same ending as for myim (water) and we say that the water in the ocean is a single body of water. Judaism teaches that all things have a soul, even the inanimate objects.

    hello rabbi as you can see from my pic I am a Christian but I am open to the truth. I see some truth in the Jewish argument but I am scared for some reason to say so. I have studied the Torah and I have seen the beauty of it while my Christian friends just saw many rules. all my life I have been a Christian so how do I this fear that I may be wrong im scared I may have to turn my back on my family's faith. how do I face this fear?

    @gutmanlocks can you specifically show me in Torah where it's forbidden to pick kernals on shabbat? or pick fruits on shabbat? i think we all know that picking up sticks to make fire is forbidden, so comparing the two isn't the same. i'd really like to see where you make the connection in Torah however.
