i love to be a noahide!! finally with christianity in a smoking hep behind me, i find so much comfort in the tanak and this channel. what a blessing you are, and i am so sorry for the way we are before we understand
RABBI, your teachings were in the beginning of me returning to Judaism. Although my parents raise me as a messianic Christian, I caught my father towards the end of his life many many years Talmud usually around 3 AM. 19 years later, I’m on my third year studying on the RABBI Shlomo. I’m also an active member and sit on the board. Thank you RABBI for your teachings
Don't fool yourself, those teachings are false.....meant to keep you in state of waiting on a Messiah that will never come because he has already come and gone and will come again (even the middle age centuries Sages realised this but to proud to acknowledge their mistakes). God forgives the humble, unfortunately none of those Sages & teachers of the faith where humble enough to do this, don't make the same mistakes.
@@markscheepers9908 There is a strong passion for the Return. No matter who we are, we all long for the good 'ol days. Isaiah had the good sense to realize there was a limit to the Return of something. And there were geoscalar implications to consider. Return at the quantum scales is different beast than the rotation of the Earth, or the return each year to the same orbital position as the year prior. Isaiah had the good sense to know a return of the person of David was impossible. I have six friends in my life named David. But none of them are the Return of David, whose father was Jesse. Isaiah offered hope in the Return of the Root of Jesse, David's father. In other words, there is ample evidence the Root returns, but the person, each person is unique, not a carbon copy of what came in the past. My nephews may be identical twins but each is still a unique person with unique traits. For the past two thousand years, we have been accruing a body of knowledge, both scientific and theological, that sheds light on this Root to which Isaiah and later Paul, addressed. That fact the name Jesus shares a likeness with name Jesse is hardly an accident but it does not mean they are the same person. I would not say a fraud has taken place, that Christ is phony, that the trinity a sham, and that Christ's promised return was a lie. I would return to the idea that there are geoscalar considerations. Rightly, the good Rabbi says to question anybody who brings a new term to the table. To ask them to define what they mean. Geoscalar differences implies that orbits at different scales have different properties. Christ defines himself with properties that are beyond our normal way of speaking and thinking. He speaks of being the Way, the path, the Light, and the expansion and the orbit, if by the two we understand to mean the beginning, Alpha, and the arrival of completion, the Omega. These appear to be quantum references, however many have placed his self identification into a different geoscalar domain to say he is referring to a path free from Sin. If Christ is Consciousness, having universal implications, and the root of consciousness is the wave function, then understanding geoscalar properties and limits is useful for sorting out theological differences including the murkiness surrounding the Trinity. Isaiah saw Hope in the Root. Paul saw Hope in the Root. The arrow of time emerges through Einstein and Minkowski's explorations aided by Christian mathematicians Ludwig Flamm and Ludwig Boltzmann, not to mention Lord Kelvin, Andrew Gray, Maxwell, and Descartes. Minkowski was humbled by Einstein's rejection of his geometry even while Minkowski protested that his inspiration came from Einstein's GR. However Minkowski recognized Einstein's greatness, and conceded that in the future there was a Hope in the return of the root that would satisfy the world's understanding. Philippians 3 13~15 expresses the same hopefulness and faith that what eludes our comprehension today, God will satisfy in the future.
@@fasted8468: It ONLY says that in the "NT" - NOT in the Tanach (Hebrew Bible)! The "NT" is NOT scripture that was given to Moses by God at Mt. Sinai. PLEASE do some actual, honest research on this subject!
I am a former Baptist fundamentalist who found out the truth. You couldn't have been more serious about your faith then I was. When I realized I'd been bamboozled I was furious.

He always or quite often represents the hebrew and christian scholarly version of biblical narrative and criticize christian apologetic understanding of the Bible.

Please christians don't get offended study hard and learn by yourself the history of development of christian doctrines that should be enough to honestly leave Christianity.
If a Gentile observes any of the Jewish commandments from the Torah as a religious obligation (even if he does so from a desire to receive a spiritual reward), this is forbidden based on the prohibition of adding a commandment, and there is no spiritual reward to be derived from this.
@@hrvatskinoahid1048 The Tanakh literally says that in the end days everybody will be under God's law. Everybody means everybody and not just some people. It also says in the Torah that the stranger who is with the Jew or in the camp of a Jew must do as the Jew does.
@@yashawngray9289 God gave 613 commandments for Jews and the 7 for Gentiles. The stranger who keeps Jewish commandments is a Jewish proselyte, not a Gentile, as proved by the Chabad translation of Numbers 15:15: "One rule applies to the assembly, for yourselves and for the proselyte who resides [with you]; one rule applies throughout your generations just as [it is] for you, so [it is] for the proselyte, before the Lord."

שלום רב You are so right. I converted to Christianity in the nineties. My religious training was non-existent or just sub par. However, I spent lots of time contemplating existence and my early training in physics and made me see that Christianity made no sense scientifically. I think I had converted because of the “Stockholm syndrome”. I didn’t see any reason to be a member of a despised group of people while living in enemy territory (Christian territory-USA). But, later I realized that I believed deep inside in only one God. My education and reading in quantum physics made me a Deist by belief and a Jew by association and birth; btw my DNA results were 100% Ashkenazic Jew (a pure bred) To explain my present religious beliefs further would be boring here. Im afraid, though, that I passed the confusion about religion on to my two kids and grandkids, yikes!
I was a child of a Jewish mother & Catholic father. My mother's family was literally non-existant by the time I was born, but my father’s family was part of my life. My mother brought me and my sister up Jewish, to the dismay of my father’s side. They talked to us frequently about converting to Catholicism. It was difficult and confusing when I was younger, though I retained my Judaism. My unsolicited advice to you is to apologize, and explain to your family that you made a mistake. It may be too late to change their current religious identities, but they deserve to be told (more than once, since I assume you've probably already spoken about this to them) who they really are and that if they feel a pull towards Judaism, they are not being disloyal to others in your family who are not Jewish. There should be no shame or disrespect or fear of burning in hell for being Jewish. If the non-Jewish family members can't be supportive of the Jewish ones, that's sad, but for those who may discover their Jewish souls, the knowledge of being true to themselves is much more important. I had to adopt that philosophy.
@@lore9753my friend being Jewish will not send you to heaven you will only be in a holding place, the Jews have their hearts hardened as the scriptures say, do not reject Jesus as God showed you in the most clearest way how he came and humbled himself for you.

Most Christian colleges and universities make their students sign faith statements, they only teach the theology, and doctrines of the church anything outside of that is frown upon. They also typically teach misconstruded versions of Hebrew and kione Greek
The facts and history is clear that Jesus was God and he is not a fallacy, he is our God and he humbled himself for us and your sin can be clean if you believe in him, you can be a messianic Jew. He is the truth just read it. The Jews are our ancestors they are the home of our Lord Jesus you gave him the promised land but he came for everyone and not just the Jews.

True, God NEVER gave up on His Covenant with Jews.. God is not a man.. He even said that He had to allow Jews fall so that we Gentiles could learn from them.. How otherwise would God get the word distributed to the rest of the World. It's actually Simple.. 😊❤
God came down not just for the jews but for the gentiles, to say God is only for Jews is not humble. Sin is separation from God, there is nothing we can do to redeem that. That is why God had to come down in his spirit in the form of his son Jesus. God humbled himself in the best way possible for all of us to see how we can walk in relationship with him. He came and suffered for us and he suffers with us. Our suffering is not meaningless because God joined us in our suffering and that is the God we have, not the God for just one people. Jesus was prophesied in the old testament way too many times. He is the son of man and there is no one else, it is done, it is finished, he is the way the truth and the life please don’t reject Jesus.
It's always fun to hear Christians say things like "God had to..." God is all powerful yet for some reason there's a lot of things "He just had to." God couldn't communicate with gentiles without letting the Jews fall, and he couldn't forgive sins without sacrificing himself to himself.
If there's a separate "holy spirit", that means that God Himself and the "Jesus" character don't have the "holy spirit" inside them! HOW is that possible, according to "Christianity" ??! 😮
It is possible because the Holy Spirit is never separated. The holy spirit lives in all being and he is increased when someone believes in Jesus and can be also increased by events such as Pentecost.
The Spirit of God and the Spirit of Christ (Messiah) are One and the same. Romans 8:9 says "But you are not in the flesh; you are in the Spirit, since the Spirit of God dwells in you. Anyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him".
Hi Rabbi. In answer to your question: think of a cannonball resting on a cushion. (This is an old example, going back to Kant.) Even if the cannonball had been there from all eternity, it would still be true that the cushion was supporting the cannonball. Causes do not have to precede their effects: they may be simultaneous with their effects. Likewise, the fact that the Father and the Son are co-eternal does not preclude the possibility that the Father upholds the Son, maintaining Him in being. "But how?" you ask. The traditional explanation (going back to the second century and possibly to the Gospel of John in the late first century) is that the Father is the Mind of God and the Son is His thought or idea of Himself. God's Mind is eternal, so His idea or thought of Himself is also eternal. However, thoughts have to come from a thinker, so the Son has to come from the Father. That's how Christians explain it. Make of it what you will. As for the three persons: they are not three minds, for God has only one mind. Nor are they merely three aspects of God (as modalists claim). Rather, they are best viewed as three perspectives within the one Mind of God: Thinker, Thought and the Love between them (as Augustine put it), with the Thinker as primary. Putting it another way: God has one Mind, but He is tripolar. My two cents. I appreciate your videos, Rabbi. Peace.
My wife was born a Catholic and was a believer. She enter a Seminary and came out a convinced snd convicted Atheist. She said that her teachers used to laugh about such teachings as Noah and the flood.
There are non-trinitarian Christians, to start with. I, as a Christian, don't believe that the Scriptures, whether in the First or Second Testaments, are either all-inclusive of truth - they were written by People, how could they be? - or that the history of revelation ended with the last letter of the last book was written down, which ever one you want to consider that to be. God is the Living God, Jesus lives in glory, his Spirit is living and in all of us right now. I've got no problem with anyone who believes otherwise, there's nothing in Scripture that gives exclusive validity to anyone or any group. The Trinity is a human description of a mystery, one that grows out of the experience of believers just as every single word of Scripture is.
It is clear and explicit in the Torah that it is God's commandment, remaining forever without change, addition, or diminishment, as Deuteronomy 13:1 states: "All these matters which I command to you, you shall be careful to perform. You may not add to it or diminish from it," and Deuteronomy 29:28 states: "What is revealed is for us and our children forever, to carry out all the words of this Torah." This teaches that we are commanded to fulfill all the Torah's directives forever: 613 commandments for Jews and the 7 for Gentiles.

Only a human can be the messiah, in the way you mean... but even gentile kings be ritual objects were called messiah. That ia different from THE MESSIAH. and it has specific qualifications, human, from the lineage of King David (which is only passed paternally) IF your dad isn't human and a descendant of David you are disqualified. We will know we are in this age when there is peace in Jerusalem. have you read the news lately???? If any one of those requirements is not fulfilled = not the Messiah. Oh and yeah one last requirement, gentiles will stop idol worship. So he's failed again. Lets try another one. A school. Beit sefer. Again a compound (really it's smichut), but anyway, it's a school. It doesn't literally translate as school, it's literally Beit, house and sefer book. If you go around lecturing speakers and say no it's really a book house, and really it's a giant book that functions as a tent you sound silly. Because again words have meaning.

The potential for idolatry is released the moment we obtjectify the concept we like to refer to as God. There is only one religion on this earth and that is the religion of the religious. Within the one religion, the different factions are busy reasoning why their particular objectified concept of God is the right one and that of other factions isn't. Judaism is one of the less idolatrous doctrines but nonetheless, its followers can't help themselves objectifying, so you can still find idolatry and avoda zara among Jews. One of the main reasons that we fail to see how our objectification and idolatry actually demeans God is our lack of humility, and the extent to which we are ego-invested in our chosen belief system/religious faction.
I cant get enough this show and thank you Rabbi. I was baptised in Rome 1978, obviously a Roman Catholic. But given a brain I soon got to the bottom of this back in the 1990's. Anyway, do you even believe Jesus existed as an historical character ?

Christians are open minded, smart, and acknowledge merit when we see it. We understand Jesus Christ as YHWH incarnate, the Holy Seed, after carefully vetting His words and His deeds in the backdrop of scriptural and historic information. We celebrate His victory over death and proclaim Him as the God King who conquered Satan, and as the only Jew ever to conquer the Roman Empire. Jews however keep rejecting the best man Jewry ever produced. Sad.

At 19:06 I know it sounds from Rabbi Singer that the Jewish religion is based on our belief in Moses et al as prophets but I can assure you that's not what he meant as he has said in prior talks. The uniqueness of Judaism is that the Devine Revelation was a collective witnessing by an entire people, not predicated on a relevation to one person. In fact G-d says clearly in the Bible "you yourselves heard and saw me speak, no one can or will make that claim and live (to rule out those who might vlaim yes there was a collective Revelation but they died out and here I am with this new religion) BTW the same Creator also says these laws are eternal and whoever comes even with miracles and tells ypu differently is a false prophet. (Tovia says this at 25:09)
I think if a son was born under normal circumstances of conception, it is idolatry to call him God. An everlasting kingdom and one that belongs to God is eternal. Human beings have a time line. From the time Adam and Eve sinned, the wages of sin is death. My question is, do people believe that God would simply just resurrect people after they died (physically) and simply go to heaven or to hell? So the belief that doing the mosaic laws alone which did not bring righteousness but removed sin temporarily would gain everlasting life with God? If these are not fulfilled by the time one dies, one cannot be with God eternally. There is something about sin that does not affect a person outwardly but inwardly hence repentance. However, through the act of the physical, we gain the spiritual. But the laws had a temporal effect. Why go through the trouble of commanding to obey the laws of Moses (which is written by God), knowing the people would fail when He could just have given the new covenant from the start? The new covenant which is a contract does not say what man has to do on his part to fulfil his obligations. The commands and laws from God, that was initially written on tables of stone, will be on the heart. Therefore, if man is not required to do anything to keep the new covenant, then who is is? A covenant or contract is between two or more parties. The Christian faith believes that it is the Messiah, a servant who redeems His people to God. The laws was for the purpose of redeeming man to God. It was for the purposes of teaching. But it was temporal removal of sin. Sin separates us from Him. God delivered the Israelites from their enemies and has also done so for those who call out to Him in faith. Why then does one need a Messiah? To guide and teach people, or to deliver them from their enemies? There had to be a sin sacrifice. Why a person? How does God seriously remember sin no more? This was His requirement, although a horrific way to do so. But God doesn’t look at the outward appearance, in the same way we do. He thinks eternally, spiritually and of greater things. He doesn’t think like we do. Is He cruel? Absolutely not because He is good. Christ is worthy, not ourselves to take the place of being the true Shepard, to lay down His life for us. David was a great example of a shepherd and faithful man of God. He wasn’t allowed to build the temple, however God blessed him with the promise of one who delivers his people through his seed. Jesus said to love one another for it covers a multitude of sins, to forgive as God has forgiven us. To bless those who curse you and pray for those who persecute you. Gods Will is that no one should die but have everlasting life. Faith and obedience to His word is pleasing to Him. The gospels are not anti semetic. No one today is responsible for the choices their ancestors made so why carry it? Isn’t it like praying for the dead? Life is in the blood and that life is in Christ, in it the new covenant.
Yes they who choose to be e Academics 9:47 😅 I thank God HaShem, I knew Him (Jesus) from childhood. But He stopped me halfway through my Theology studies in 2004. I heard Him clearly saying, "The Holy Spirit is your teacher, what are you doing now? "😮 I walked away from Calvary University and never looked back. God taught me as in Zechariah 4:6,John 14:6-7,16-17 ❤
Also in the very first word: Bereshit. Read it backwards as Aramaic: "goat-rabbi". You have a choice between the easter scapegoats and Jesus the teacher.
To use the word beget or begot in terms of God, simply seems to mean Jesus because he was born or begotten. And through that introduction of begetting comes all of the discussion and it doesn't seem much of a stretch to say that that is the whole thing, jesus's birth and somehow it gets a little bit stretched on too eternity if that's possible.
Yes, I expect that first came the claim he was born to Mary as a virgin birth by the holy spirit and God's son, a bit like ancient Greek heroes were said to often be sons of gods, but then the theologians took it further in their convoluted debates and theories as to the relationship between Jesus and the Father.
I heard you. And, the people who believe in the Trinity, are very upset hearing the Catholics say, “holy Mary, mother of god,” yet teach the same thing in Jesus divinity.
Jesus(as) was the last prophet in Israel, always referred to himself as having been sent by God, meaning that he was a Divine messenger. For instance: ''This is Eternal Life: to know you the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent''(John 17:3). It was long after his time that the expression son of God was transmuted into God, the Son, meaning thereby that Jesus was the second person in the Trinity. The entire concept of the Trinity was foreign to the thinking of Jesus. It is true that in Luke 1:32, he is called the son of the Highest and in 1:35, the son of God; but these expressions in Biblical idiom do not at all connote Divinity or partnership in Divinity. These expressions were in common use in scripture but were always employed metaphorically and in no single instance did it connote God. As we read in the Bible: Israel is My son, even My first born. (Exodus 4:22) Also I will make him (David) Myfirst born, higher than the kings of the earth. (Psalms 89:27) He (Solomon) shall be My son, and I will be his Father. (1. Chron 22:10) Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the children of God. (Matt. 5:9) More significant than all this is the explanation expressed by Jesus himself: ''Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him. Jesus answered them, Many good works have I showed you from my Father; for which of those works do you stone me? The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; because that thou, being man, makest thyself God. (John 10:31-33) Jesus answered them, is it not written in your law, I said, ye are gods? If he called them gods unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken; say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, thou blasphemeth; because I said, I am the son of God (John 10:34-35) This makes it quite clear that the expression, god or son of God, when applied to Jesus, by himself or by others, meant no more in his case than it means in its application to others in scripture, ( several instances above). He was son of God in that sense, but in no way at all God, the son, the second person in the Trinity as is usually claimed by some Christians.
@@OpenCorridor-en3ox Man always interpolates, misconstrues or misappropriates Divine teachings after the prophets have come and gone. No wonder then that the teachings and person of prophet Jesus were also distorted by the future generations of those who followed. When it is said that message of Jesus must have been interpolated, it does not mean that all the teachings of Jesus underwent a complete man - made transformation. This is never permitted to happen to Divine scriptures by God. There is always retained some of the original truth, untouched and unadulterated. It is in the light of this that a careful study of the Gospels is always rewarding. A careful scrutiny of the source material of Gospels reveals that message of the prophet Jesus was not different from other Divinely revealed religions in fundamentals. Jesus not only strongly believed in that One God Who is the Creator of the Universe but also ever had enjoined others to believe in that One God. As it states in the Bible. One of the scribes came, and heard them questioning together. Knowing that he had answered them well, asked him, “Which commandment is the greatest of all?” Jesus answered, “The greatest is, ‘Hear, Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one: you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.’This is the first commandment. The second is like this, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’There is no other commandment greater than these.The scribe said to him, “Truly, teacher, you have said well that he is one, and there is none other but he, and to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbor as himself, is more important than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.” When Jesus saw that he answered wisely, he said to him, “You are not far from the Kingdom of God.” (Mark 12:28-30)
Is Christ the only begotten Son, or a one of a kind Son? This article looks at the etymology of the Greek word monogenes to answer this question. Source: Trinitarian Bible Society, 2015. 8 pages. Share Monogenes: “Only Begotten” or “One of a Kind”? μονογενης⤒🔗 In more recent times some scholars have advanced the view that the Greek word μονογενης (monogenes) does not mean ‘only begotten’; as in the Authorised (King James) Version, but ‘one of a kind’ or ‘unique’ or something equivalent which omits the concept of ‘begotten’.[1] This article considers whether the concept of ‘begetting’ or ‘derivation by birth’ properly belongs to μονογενης, or whether the word simply means ‘one of a kind’ or ‘unique’. Both the etymology and usage of μονογενης are examined. It is concluded that the concept of ‘begetting’ or ‘derivation by birth’ does properly belong to μονογενης, so that it is correctly translated ‘only begotten’, and that translations which omit the concept of ‘begotten’ are probably driven more by a theological motive than by impartial consideration of the evidence.

Hello Tovia Please, do not mislead the good people You got very unworthy job, to go against God Almighty When you mentioned traditional Christians that is working on your side, but the Holy Scriptures tells us truth Can you open Proverbs Proverbs 30:4 Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? who hath gathered the wind in his fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment? who hath established all the ends of the earth? what is his name, and what is his son's name, if thou canst tell? This place, as many more in Tanach, is talking about God and Son, Jesus Messiah
I think some of the founding Christians had that "anxiety of influence"(Harold Bloom), & corrupted the texts. First, maybe people did work to make Jesus clearly the messiah, inserting the bits about his hereditary line, etc, but then, scholars added to the mistakes with the trinity, because they're trying to differentiate Christianity. It's all still very instructive, because we're learning how some "good" people will tamper with the plain truth. Maybe that's what God wanted, in addition to drawing us toward Judaism; but it isn't as if Judaism doesn't have its problems, to me. Why on earth would God ask Issaac to kill his own son? Christians say it's a foreshadowing of Jesus. If it isn't foreshadowing Jesus, why would God put Abraham & Issaac through that? Maybe it's only to say that we should doubt our weird thoughts, and not do it. Don't drink the poison, or kill our children, even if we think it's to please God.
I know this is dumb, sort of, but I really don't like my mom being wrong about the holy spirit not being in the bell tower at my dad's cemetary. Or, could a holy spirit still be in the bell tower?

I heard, or maybe read, that Jacob was wrestling with God; then, a Calvinist person I saw, briefly, said the Calvinists don't really like that. What's that about? I just sort of thought it was God wrestling with an angel, supposedly representing God, as I read. It made sense to me. Why don't they like it? They don't think Jacob should wrestle with God, right? I thought this foreshadowed communion, though, so why would a Calvinist not like it? Can you cover the how & why Jacob would wrestle with God, or God through his angel?
If everyone was taught the 'Grand Unification of the Four Universal Field Forces' in school...we would all be Christians. As it is, Almighty God, Jehovah, took it upon Himself to teach us what we couldn't possibly understand...first through Moses and the Jews, then, because of the many anti-God changes to His word, by the direct involvement of a high Heavenly official, Jesus Christ, who bacame Jehovah's only begotten Son.... If stale mucous building up inside our body is our greatest problem, Jesus Christ can help. If it is knowing what to expect when we die, Jesus can help there too. If it involves what has happened and will happen to our beloved deceased, well...Jesus is an expert there as well.

Actually. Christianity is the secret doctrine of Kabbalah. The Trinity is the 3 top Sephira in the Kabbalistic tree: Kether, Hokmah, Binah. The middle pillar (there are 3 pillars in the tree) is the Messiah, called Metatron. The Angel of the Lord. The Kundalini serpent. Sushumna, ida and pingala are the THE THREE (Pillars) main nadis in the human body. Nadis are channels that allow the movement of the energy (prana) throughout the body. The middle pillar (Nadis/channel) is the Shushumna, in which the Christ YHSWH יהשוה (Yehoshua-Jesus-Kundalini energy) is raised from the spiritual death.
Sensible Christians celebrate the memory of a just man who was tortured and killed by Romans for no good reason. The figure of the man on the cross decorates Christian churches to this day to remind us of the man's humanity and suffering. And this is all. The rest is decorum. The message conveyed is that by following the man's teaching we may rise above our scroungy every day existence. All the remaining prattle about the Holy Ghost, virgin birth, Davidic line, being the Son of God, prophecies, miracles, and what not, is just that, prattle. We'd be better off dropping this unnecessary baggage altogether.
Fascinating take. Lets Christians off the hook if they simply admit that they are following an honorable path of treating their fellow man with kindness and generosity, etc. Very reasonable, as well as admirable. Unfortunately, they’ve dug themselves a hole, backed themselves into a corner, with the dogmatic belief in the Trinity.
@georgecollord7650 The Father is the Universe, the Holy Ghost is the entanglement, and Jesus is the Man. We are all eyes, ears, and brains of the Universe which comes into existence by observing itself through us.
Sir,Jesus is more humane than a total abstraction of formless God, which of course can not be formed into an idol, and one has to resort to other symbols in some kind of physical form.

Here's another thing. I know I could ask Pastor Solberg aboug this, but I want to know what YOU say, here. My mother told me that everyone who researches in the holy lands, whether or not Jesus is the real messiah ( in the Christian sense),.... comes out believing in Jesus. She didn't do this, herself, but I assume my dad knew people who had. Now, without calling them dumb, because they really weren't ( my mom went to UCLA a bunch, ended up with a Ph.D. in History, from Okla.U.), honestly & truly, what would you actually say.....because I have heard other people claim this, also. What would you say, if you absolutely Knew you would hear this, teaching at Oklahoma State, in Stillwater, OK, for instance, as a polite professor? The scriptures just don't support it? Would you refer to what this other guy, with you many years ago, said? It was something like exojesus versus inojesus? I'm really not sure I heard it correctly, & didn't rewind; but, you know, he was saying that Christians find the passages to support what they believe, & Jewish people only believe what is in their Bible, with no changes to be made, since God doesn't alter his words, & Jesus doesn't fit those words. Is that what you would say, or something else?
There are a LOT of Christian Ministers who don't even believe in God, I was shocked to learn, a couple of decades ago, when I was an Evangelical Baptist!!
I thought it was an “ish”? Anyway, there are preterists out here who think all Biblical prophecy was over by 70 AD. Also I personally don’t see Yahweh in the scriptures after the Jews are led back to Jerusalem re-built and the New Second Temple by his influence on Cyrus, who thought he was Marduk or Shamash, by the way, per the Cyrus Cylinder, circa 500 BC. Yahweh just up and disappeared after that.
They never have any definition of any term word in their doctrine. Father is God. What the heck is father? What the heck is god? God is Father, isn't he in the Bible? What the heck is person? a non-human person?
Why do Christian scholars believe in the Jesus narrative? Either because they haven't done their homework or they don't really believe the lies but because they have invested so much time and effort when they finally learn the truth some just keep on teaching that stuff so their paycheck doesn't stop! Ask me how I know! I have met those that say the headquarters says preach this not that. SO he continues to preach what headquarters says to preach and gets paid to do so! Paid well 😮. He knows truth but doesn't teach truth

😂😂I get the amusing feeling that in this episode the Rabbi is like standing in someones else shoes and giving gun powder to the Christians. 😂 Allow me to play the role of the fundamentalist or orthodox Torah believer. My counter argument to the Book of the Hebrews is this: if the author can’t even copy-paste correctly from the Torah, then what he wrote is not a authoritative book! If ye can’t do basic things like write it over, copy paste, dear author of book of Hebrew, then ye don’t count, go back to elementary school and then maybe ye can do theology. 😂
Well, let’s explain it so. When you do homework of the subject history, you copy from the history book. When you do math, you give answers in math format. Doing music, you write music notes. Each to its own context. The author of Hebrews is mixing it all together, and trying to proof his point that way.

The authenticity of Moses is based on the public revelation at Sinai: God revealed Himself to the entire nation of Israel, at least three million people, and proclaimed before them the Ten Commandments. The entire Jewish people personally experienced that revelation, each individual in effect becoming a prophet, and each one verifying the experience of the other. With their own eyes they saw, and with their own ears they heard, as the Divine voice spoke to them, and also they heard God saying, "Moses, Moses, go tell them the following ..." They did not receive the occurrence of that event and accept it as some claim or tradition of an individual, but they experienced it themselves. That public revelation, therefore, authenticated the bona fide status of Moses as a prophet of God, and the Divine origin of the instructions he recorded in the Torah. That, and that alone, is the criterion for the belief in, and acceptance of, Moses and his teachings, as God said to him, "I will come unto you in a thick cloud that the people may hear when I speak with you and will also believe in you forever" (Exodus 19:9).
At the end of the day Torah doesn't depend on the NT. But if Torah proves what you call the New testament wrong then it's wrong. There's no other explanation. Christianity and Judaism could not be more different.
I mean it doesn't matter what you tell people, the standards they place on the New Testament when applied to other events, shows unjust weights and measures, I mean I personally don't believe history proves anything the same way science doesn't prove anything It doesn't matter how many historians say that something happened or something didn't happen or scientists say that something is true vs something is not true, that doesn't justify belief in something, that's the Orthodox view anyway St Paul doesn't say "look at the evidence and you'll believe" Jesus doesn't say "When I resurrect they'll believe" St Paul in Romans 10:17 says: "So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God." And Jesus in Luke 16:31 says: "If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, neither will they be persuaded though one rise from the dead." We're not an evidence based religion, although it's nice to have physical remains, outside sources repeating what the bible says and what not, none of that is what gives true faith, true faith is from: Romans 8:26-27 “Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. Now He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God.” The spirit helps us in our weakness, God's Spirit is constantly strengthening our faith, because the flesh is weak but through the grace of God he helps up keep our faith
God said to Aaron "You have no SHARE in ISRAEL, you are Mine, I Am the Lord, I AM YOUR SHARE". So Moses made the law that the Priest who is devout would inherit God Himself. LITERALLY, because the only SHARE for the Priest is God HIMSELF , the Priest did not observe Sabbath Rest, he had different laws , sacrifices and callings. Priest could not own land in Israel, could not inherit wealth of Land of Israel, the PREIST WAS NOT ISRAEL. So the Priest was a Medium a SHAMAN FIGURE consumed by God owned lock stock and barrel, not at all Israel. Now the Jews clamored to Samuel their Judge to give them a mortal man be King of Israel , when Samuel stressed that only God is the King of Israel. So God it was GOD who said to Samuel "GIVE THE JEWS WHAT THEY WANT, THEY ARE ALL LIKE THE HEATHEN NATIONS" . So then comes the RIDDLE how to produce, under the Law of Moses, a Man who is also God, to please the demands of the Jews for a mortal king of Israel, when only God as SPIRIT , GOD UNSEEN was King a King without form. So the RIDDLE had to be solved, because GOD TOLD SAMUEL TO DO IT. Then in the example, how to solve the RIDDLE. Yeshua the Priest in Zechariah Six, first he was a priest, that was all he was, but then LATER God sent word to make YESHUA the Priest also wear the Crown of the King of Israel ,and that became a "MEMORIAL" passed along to foretell what sort of candidate would be King of Israel as both Man and God. Now Jesus had the pedigree and let to teach Oral Law on Sacred Ground in Temple Israel COURTS, that is a biggie. If Jesus was not a Priest of their Order, they would have arrested Jesus the first day and killed him for his offense. But Jesus taught in the Temple Courts to Jews for THREE YEARS. What does that prove ? He had a license , he was a Priest of the Korbanot of Temple Israel, which thing no Jew today has as their title. PRIEST. Now, God promised Phinehas the Priest that the TRUE ISRAEL would never lack for a Priest and Prophet throughout all Generations. But the Jews have not had either for two thousand years, and they do not eat the Passover, according to Exodus 12, with the Lamb in the Matzos ,with the Bitter Herbs and recite the Name of the Lord Judaism is only a Memorial religion , they are not ISRAEL "YET". They could be but not yet. Jesus rose from the dead, so to exercise of Moses Law to let a man rise to inherit God Himself, and later at some other time for a different reason , to return as the fit candidate to be King of the Jews. So in a prophetic way, though he knew not why , Pontius Pilate brought out Jesus to the Jews and said "BEHOLD THE MAN" . This was the RIDDLE how do you get the King of Israel to be both a Man and also be God ??? Catholic Faith is the only legitimate Faith based on the Priesthood as the solution to the RIDDLE. The Jews rejected the SPIRIT INVISIBLE GOD TO BE THEIR KING and when God gave the Jews what they wanted, a Man to be King, they also rejected the Man. So the RIDDLE required the TRUE KING OF ISRAEL to be both a Man and God , and Samuel was ordered by GOD to solve the RIDDLE and it was done. First you groom the Priest , his laws were unique and separate from Israel, he did not rest on the Sabbath, he belonged to God alone, he was not able to own land in Israel or inherit the Wealth of KINGS. David , Solomon , Hezekiah , they were not really Kings of Israel, they were PRINCES, because first they were not Priests of Temple Israel , they did not give their lives for the Propitiation for the Sin the Jews committed, when the Jews rejected the SPIRIT GOD as KING and demanded a Mortal Man , making the Jews unto HEATHENS who were worshipping BAALS. Rabbis cannot eat the Passover they are not Israel, Jesus ate Passover, Jesus is Israel, Jesus rose, Jesus inherited Title of GOD HIMSELF Jesus is the Messiah , he returns, in the appropriate time to save the world, to be crowned King of Israel. That is the RIDDLE that Samuel as Judge of the Heathen Jews had to produce when God ordered Samuel to give the Jews what they wanted. Then when they got it, they did not get it, that is the TRICK to the RIDDLE . Samson was great at Riddles, but Samson had the fault of telling his women , his secrets , so the Gentiles got the best of him, but now God winked the eye and that is why the Gentiles in Isaiah Nine are the Peoples who call the Messiah "EL GIBBOR" Mighty God. The Rabbis like Tovia are going only down to Sheol , and as they pass "Go" they will not see God.
I agree with most of what you said. However, God did say he would make a new covenant with the house of Judah and after those days, a new covenant with the house of Israel. Not like the one God made with Moses. Jeremiah 31. Can someone please explain what they believe these clear statements to mean? Also, Deut 4:2 talks about not adding to or removing from the 10 commandments and statutes and ordnances regarding those 10 commandments. And the very next chapter 5:22 God said he added no more after this was given and written on tablets. So I can understand why many people are confused by the adding of all the additional Blood sacrifices, New moon feasts, and Sabbaths. An argument could be made that there were words added to Moses original law. If I'm incorrect could someone please clarify. Thank you. P.s. I'm not a trinitarian nor do I believe in the Catholic or Protestant religions.
I feel like the more fundamental question is 'was Jesus "caused"' because if he was "begotten" then his begetting by the father is the cause of his existence. I just don't worship caused beings
@keitumetsemodipa3012 that's sounds profound but doesn't seem to escape causality. Causality doesn't require time thus "eternal" doesn't solve any problems here, the father caused jesus to be begotten whether "this day" as in your scriptures or eternally as in your doctrine. Eternally begotten is still begotten. Still, why is the eternity of jesus even a factor in your religion? Why do you see it as important?
@@PatrickPease It sounds more like we disagree on what begotten and cause means, so as to not fall into word / concept fallacy, could you explain what you mean by cause and begotten and I'll explain what Orthodox Christian Theology means by begotten and cause We believe Jesus is God (by God we mean the self existing being that has various qualities, often referred to as omni qualities as well as a few other important ones, such as immanence, impassibility, aseity, perichoresis, immutable and the list goes on and on but you get the idea So Jesus is important because we believe that he is the Logos / word of God
@@keitumetsemodipa3012 Yes, the issue is that you don't believe that Jesus is "self-begotten" regardless of what those concepts mean, Jesus was begotten by the father. And insofar as the person of Jesus and the person of the father are distinguishable then The father caused Jesus to be begotten and the person of Jesus did not beget himself. Of course, if you de-personalize the statements (which is what judaism would like you to do) then it begins to be more sensible, though the problems do become more glaring
@@PatrickPease I don't see how we are avoiding equivocation here because as I said previously, it sounds like we have different understandings of what begotten means, it may address the issues that you think we have.
I AM NOT A TRINITARIAN CHRISTIAN; I AM NOT CHRISTIAN, PERIOD. I AM A YISRAELITE (ebioniy): aka an Ebionite, even Bene Yisra'El. I do not accept the divinity of Yehowshuwa Mashiyach at all. So, do not conflate the idea, that followers of a Jewish man (who we regard as Mashiyach - Deut. 18: 15-19; John 1:45; John 5:45-47; Acts 3:22.23; Acts 7:37; Acts 13:13-52 [33] and who we believe will return as a man even King David's descendant [Son Of David] as HaMashiyach to sit on King David's Throne) are Christians in the modern sense/ understanding of The Second Person Of The Trinity. Yehowshuwa was not, is not, and never will be YHVH or equal to YHVH in anyway, forever. Even, Yehowshuwa will submit to YHVH as Sha'uwl (aka Paul) said, so that all of The Creation will be in subjection to YHVH: The Eternal, Invisible, King Of The Universe, for ever, so let it be.
It is specifically the second person of the Holy Trinity, the Son, who entered into the hypostatic union, taking on human nature without ceasing to be fully Divine. God exists as three distinct persons, not as three “personalities.” In Orthodox theology, we express this mystery by saying that God is one in Essence (Ousia) and three in Hypostases (*Hypostases*). Ousia refers to the divine essence-God’s “whatness.” Just as I am human by virtue of my human essence, God is Divine by virtue of His Divine essence. Hypostasis, however, speaks to the unique, underlying reality of each Divine Person-Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. While "person" is often used to translate Hypostasis, it is an imperfect term, yet it conveys that each member of the Trinity is distinct and relational within the unity of God. The Orthodox perspective approaches this mystery with deep reverence and caution, understanding that human language and philosophical categories are ultimately insufficient to fully describe God’s nature. We engage in apophatic (negative) theology, which emphasizes the transcendence of God beyond human concepts. This means that our understanding of God requires humility; we affirm that God is one undivided Being, not three separate deities, and we reverently hold that He exists eternally as precisely three Hypostases. This is not an exercise in speculative philosophy but an expression of the Orthodox experience of God, acknowledging His unity and the mystery of His tri-personal existence.
@keitumetsemodipa3012 . UTTER nonsense. You didn't even distinguish between PERSON and PERSONality. God is not 3 people . Moreover, God is infinite, and to suggest that the God head consists of 3 infinite beings is a mathematical impossibility. Additionally, the "Son" cannot be co eternal unlees he were a twin rather thsn begotten, this again is a misunderstanding of infinit/ eternity There is only ONE infinite being, with one mind. Not a multiple personality disorder
@@keitumetsemodipa3012 The belief in a divine trinity is an idolatrous concept, since it is a belief that God (or according to some, a second separate divinity) has characteristic features, and the characteristics of a body.
@@TroyTempest-jx3vb I never used the word "personality," so I’m not sure what you mean by that term. It’s important to clarify that we do not believe in three infinite beings. We believe in eternal procession within the Holy Trinity. Simply put, the Son is eternally generated from the Father. An analogy might help here: just as light passing through a prism produces different colors, yet we still call it one light (unrefracted), similarly, the Son and the Holy Spirit, though distinct in hypostasis, share the same divine essence as the Father. We believe that the Son is the exact representation of the Father. When the Bible speaks about the patriarchs seeing God but also says no one can see God and live, we interpret this as meaning they saw the image of God, not the Father Himself. For example, when Moses encountered God, it was the image of God he saw, not the Father’s essence. Similarly, when the Israelites saw, spoke with, and ate with God during the Exodus, it was the image of God, not the Father. Regarding the Holy Trinity, we hold that God is one infinite being, but that being exists in three hypostases-Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. This means God is not divided into three infinite beings, nor is He less than three hypostases. To understand the Trinity, it’s crucial to grasp the distinction between essence (the shared divine nature) and hypostasis (the persons of the Trinity). Without understanding these concepts, it’s difficult to discuss the nature of God in Orthodox theology. Finally, we believe that God has one mind and one will. Despite the distinct hypostases of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, God remains one infinite being.

Tovia, for a moment, step out of the realm of religion, theology, psychology, linguistics, etc., and enter the realm of science. When Jesus was alive and breathing the air around him, some of what he was breathing was oxygen. It took several centuries before oxygen was identified and given a name, but I assure you that oxygen was present in the air long before Jesus was born. In a similar way, the components of the Trinity were present long before they were assembled in the doctrine of the Trinity. In fact, the words 'Father', ' Son', and 'Holy Spirit' can be found in the New Testament. So, just as our understanding of the universe we live in is changing, so is our understanding of the words in the New Testament. The Nicene Creed of the Roman Catholic is simply an elegant summary of the BELIEFS of the largest Christian denominations today. If it helps people live the Will of God stated in the Ten Commandments...SO BE IT!!!!😇
Christianity is fundamentally flawed, because many the the Christological notions accreted over the years. They were not formed systematically so they should all be consistent and mutually support all others. This is why real Christian scholars are usually not religious because they have trouble believing because they are well aware of the contradictions.
i love to be a noahide!! finally with christianity in a smoking hep behind me, i find so much comfort in the tanak and this channel. what a blessing you are, and i am so sorry for the way we are before we understand
RABBI, your teachings were in the beginning of me returning to Judaism. Although my parents raise me as a messianic Christian, I caught my father towards the end of his life many many years Talmud usually around 3 AM. 19 years later, I’m on my third year studying on the RABBI Shlomo. I’m also an active member and sit on the board.
Thank you RABBI for your teachings
Don't fool yourself, those teachings are false.....meant to keep you in state of waiting on a Messiah that will never come because he has already come and gone and will come again (even the middle age centuries Sages realised this but to proud to acknowledge their mistakes). God forgives the humble, unfortunately none of those Sages & teachers of the faith where humble enough to do this, don't make the same mistakes.
@@markscheepers9908 There is a strong passion for the Return. No matter who we are, we all long for the good 'ol days. Isaiah had the good sense to realize there was a limit to the Return of something. And there were geoscalar implications to consider. Return at the quantum scales is different beast than the rotation of the Earth, or the return each year to the same orbital position as the year prior. Isaiah had the good sense to know a return of the person of David was impossible. I have six friends in my life named David. But none of them are the Return of David, whose father was Jesse. Isaiah offered hope in the Return of the Root of Jesse, David's father. In other words, there is ample evidence the Root returns, but the person, each person is unique, not a carbon copy of what came in the past. My nephews may be identical twins but each is still a unique person with unique traits. For the past two thousand years, we have been accruing a body of knowledge, both scientific and theological, that sheds light on this Root to which Isaiah and later Paul, addressed. That fact the name Jesus shares a likeness with name Jesse is hardly an accident but it does not mean they are the same person. I would not say a fraud has taken place, that Christ is phony, that the trinity a sham, and that Christ's promised return was a lie. I would return to the idea that there are geoscalar considerations. Rightly, the good Rabbi says to question anybody who brings a new term to the table. To ask them to define what they mean. Geoscalar differences implies that orbits at different scales have different properties. Christ defines himself with properties that are beyond our normal way of speaking and thinking. He speaks of being the Way, the path, the Light, and the expansion and the orbit, if by the two we understand to mean the beginning, Alpha, and the arrival of completion, the Omega. These appear to be quantum references, however many have placed his self identification into a different geoscalar domain to say he is referring to a path free from Sin. If Christ is Consciousness, having universal implications, and the root of consciousness is the wave function, then understanding geoscalar properties and limits is useful for sorting out theological differences including the murkiness surrounding the Trinity. Isaiah saw Hope in the Root. Paul saw Hope in the Root. The arrow of time emerges through Einstein and Minkowski's explorations aided by Christian mathematicians Ludwig Flamm and Ludwig Boltzmann, not to mention Lord Kelvin, Andrew Gray, Maxwell, and Descartes. Minkowski was humbled by Einstein's rejection of his geometry even while Minkowski protested that his inspiration came from Einstein's GR. However Minkowski recognized Einstein's greatness, and conceded that in the future there was a Hope in the return of the root that would satisfy the world's understanding. Philippians 3 13~15 expresses the same hopefulness and faith that what eludes our comprehension today, God will satisfy in the future.

If a Gentile observes any of the Jewish commandments from the Torah as a religious obligation (even if he does so from a desire to receive a spiritual reward), this is forbidden based on the prohibition of adding a commandment, and there is no spiritual reward to be derived from this.

You are so right. I converted to Christianity in the nineties. My religious training was non-existent or just sub par. However, I spent lots of time contemplating existence and my early training in physics and made me see that Christianity made no sense scientifically. I think I had converted because of the “Stockholm syndrome”. I didn’t see any reason to be a member of a despised group of people while living in enemy territory (Christian territory-USA). But, later I realized that I believed deep inside in only one God. My education and reading in quantum physics made me a Deist by belief and a Jew by association and birth; btw my DNA results were 100% Ashkenazic Jew (a pure bred) To explain my present religious beliefs further would be boring here. Im afraid, though, that I passed the confusion about religion on to my two kids and grandkids, yikes!
I was a child of a Jewish mother & Catholic father. My mother's family was literally non-existant by the time I was born, but my father’s family was part of my life. My mother brought me and my sister up Jewish, to the dismay of my father’s side. They talked to us frequently about converting to Catholicism. It was difficult and confusing when I was younger, though I retained my Judaism. My unsolicited advice to you is to apologize, and explain to your family that you made a mistake. It may be too late to change their current religious identities, but they deserve to be told (more than once, since I assume you've probably already spoken about this to them) who they really are and that if they feel a pull towards Judaism, they are not being disloyal to others in your family who are not Jewish. There should be no shame or disrespect or fear of burning in hell for being Jewish. If the non-Jewish family members can't be supportive of the Jewish ones, that's sad, but for those who may discover their Jewish souls, the knowledge of being true to themselves is much more important. I had to adopt that philosophy.
@@lore9753my friend being Jewish will not send you to heaven you will only be in a holding place, the Jews have their hearts hardened as the scriptures say, do not reject Jesus as God showed you in the most clearest way how he came and humbled himself for you.

Most Christian colleges and universities make their students sign faith statements, they only teach the theology, and doctrines of the church anything outside of that is frown upon. They also typically teach misconstruded versions of Hebrew and kione Greek
I can confirm that these statements reflect the policies of most xtian colleges and Universities.
The facts and history is clear that Jesus was God and he is not a fallacy, he is our God and he humbled himself for us and your sin can be clean if you believe in him, you can be a messianic Jew. He is the truth just read it. The Jews are our ancestors they are the home of our Lord Jesus you gave him the promised land but he came for everyone and not just the Jews.

True, God NEVER gave up on His Covenant with Jews.. God is not a man.. He even said that He had to allow Jews fall so that we Gentiles could learn from them.. How otherwise would God get the word distributed to the rest of the World. It's actually Simple.. 😊❤
God came down not just for the jews but for the gentiles, to say God is only for Jews is not humble. Sin is separation from God, there is nothing we can do to redeem that. That is why God had to come down in his spirit in the form of his son Jesus. God humbled himself in the best way possible for all of us to see how we can walk in relationship with him. He came and suffered for us and he suffers with us. Our suffering is not meaningless because God joined us in our suffering and that is the God we have, not the God for just one people. Jesus was prophesied in the old testament way too many times. He is the son of man and there is no one else, it is done, it is finished, he is the way the truth and the life please don’t reject Jesus.
It's always fun to hear Christians say things like "God had to..." God is all powerful yet for some reason there's a lot of things "He just had to." God couldn't communicate with gentiles without letting the Jews fall, and he couldn't forgive sins without sacrificing himself to himself.
The lie must live for them.
If there's a separate "holy spirit", that means that God Himself and the "Jesus" character don't have the "holy spirit" inside them! HOW is that possible, according to "Christianity" ??! 😮
It is possible because the Holy Spirit is never separated. The holy spirit lives in all being and he is increased when someone believes in Jesus and can be also increased by events such as Pentecost.
The Spirit of God and the Spirit of Christ (Messiah) are One and the same. Romans 8:9 says "But you are not in the flesh; you are in the Spirit, since the Spirit of God dwells in you. Anyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him".
Reference Ezekiel 36. Who's spirit goes inside of Whom? Has , always been a great mystery to me, on this subject.
Jesus is the holy spirit in Trinity. The other one is the spirit of truth, that is the son of God, of the Psalms 2 etc
I had not thought of this before
TY Tovia! See: Concise Overview of the Critique of Jesus of Nazareth-DCS
Hi Rabbi. In answer to your question: think of a cannonball resting on a cushion. (This is an old example, going back to Kant.) Even if the cannonball had been there from all eternity, it would still be true that the cushion was supporting the cannonball. Causes do not have to precede their effects: they may be simultaneous with their effects. Likewise, the fact that the Father and the Son are co-eternal does not preclude the possibility that the Father upholds the Son, maintaining Him in being. "But how?" you ask. The traditional explanation (going back to the second century and possibly to the Gospel of John in the late first century) is that the Father is the Mind of God and the Son is His thought or idea of Himself. God's Mind is eternal, so His idea or thought of Himself is also eternal. However, thoughts have to come from a thinker, so the Son has to come from the Father. That's how Christians explain it. Make of it what you will.
As for the three persons: they are not three minds, for God has only one mind. Nor are they merely three aspects of God (as modalists claim). Rather, they are best viewed as three perspectives within the one Mind of God: Thinker, Thought and the Love between them (as Augustine put it), with the Thinker as primary. Putting it another way: God has one Mind, but He is tripolar. My two cents. I appreciate your videos, Rabbi. Peace.

My wife was born a Catholic and was a believer. She enter a Seminary and came out a convinced snd convicted Atheist. She said that her teachers used to laugh about such teachings as Noah and the flood.
There are non-trinitarian Christians, to start with. I, as a Christian, don't believe that the Scriptures, whether in the First or Second Testaments, are either all-inclusive of truth - they were written by People, how could they be? - or that the history of revelation ended with the last letter of the last book was written down, which ever one you want to consider that to be. God is the Living God, Jesus lives in glory, his Spirit is living and in all of us right now. I've got no problem with anyone who believes otherwise, there's nothing in Scripture that gives exclusive validity to anyone or any group. The Trinity is a human description of a mystery, one that grows out of the experience of believers just as every single word of Scripture is.
It is clear and explicit in the Torah that it is God's commandment, remaining forever without change, addition, or diminishment, as Deuteronomy 13:1 states: "All these matters which I command to you, you shall be careful to perform. You may not add to it or diminish from it," and Deuteronomy 29:28 states: "What is revealed is for us and our children forever, to carry out all the words of this Torah." This teaches that we are commanded to fulfill all the Torah's directives forever: 613 commandments for Jews and the 7 for Gentiles.

It's a good point that there are words that are used as if they explain something when really they are just meaningless, such as person, or begotten.
The potential for idolatry is released the moment we obtjectify the concept we like to refer to as God. There is only one religion on this earth and that is the religion of the religious. Within the one religion, the different factions are busy reasoning why their particular objectified concept of God is the right one and that of other factions isn't. Judaism is one of the less idolatrous doctrines but nonetheless, its followers can't help themselves objectifying, so you can still find idolatry and avoda zara among Jews. One of the main reasons that we fail to see how our objectification and idolatry actually demeans God is our lack of humility, and the extent to which we are ego-invested in our chosen belief system/religious faction.

At 19:06 I know it sounds from Rabbi Singer that the Jewish religion is based on our belief in Moses et al as prophets but I can assure you that's not what he meant as he has said in prior talks. The uniqueness of Judaism is that the Devine Revelation was a collective witnessing by an entire people, not predicated on a relevation to one person. In fact G-d says clearly in the Bible "you yourselves heard and saw me speak, no one can or will make that claim and live (to rule out those who might vlaim yes there was a collective Revelation but they died out and here I am with this new religion) BTW the same Creator also says these laws are eternal and whoever comes even with miracles and tells ypu differently is a false prophet.

I think if a son was born under normal circumstances of conception, it is idolatry to call him God. An everlasting kingdom and one that belongs to God is eternal. Human beings have a time line. From the time Adam and Eve sinned, the wages of sin is death.
My question is, do people believe that God would simply just resurrect people after they died (physically) and simply go to heaven or to hell? So the belief that doing the mosaic laws alone which did not bring righteousness but removed sin temporarily would gain everlasting life with God?
If these are not fulfilled by the time one dies, one cannot be with God eternally. There is something about sin that does not affect a person outwardly but inwardly hence repentance. However, through the act of the physical, we gain the spiritual. But the laws had a temporal effect. Why go through the trouble of commanding to obey the laws of Moses (which is written by God), knowing the people would fail when He could just have given the new covenant from the start?
The new covenant which is a contract does not say what man has to do on his part to fulfil his obligations. The commands and laws from God, that was initially written on tables of stone, will be on the heart.
Therefore, if man is not required to do anything to keep the new covenant, then who is is? A covenant or contract is between two or more parties.
The Christian faith believes that it is the Messiah, a servant who redeems His people to God. The laws was for the purpose of redeeming man to God. It was for the purposes of teaching. But it was temporal removal of sin. Sin separates us from Him.
God delivered the Israelites from their enemies and has also done so for those who call out to Him in faith. Why then does one need a Messiah? To guide and teach people, or to deliver them from their enemies?
There had to be a sin sacrifice. Why a person? How does God seriously remember sin no more? This was His requirement, although a horrific way to do so. But God doesn’t look at the outward appearance, in the same way we do. He thinks eternally, spiritually and of greater things. He doesn’t think like we do. Is He cruel? Absolutely not because He is good. Christ is worthy, not ourselves to take the place of being the true Shepard, to lay down His life for us. David was a great example of a shepherd and faithful man of God. He wasn’t allowed to build the temple, however God blessed him with the promise of one who delivers his people through his seed.
Jesus said to love one another for it covers a multitude of sins, to forgive as God has forgiven us. To bless those who curse you and pray for those who persecute you. Gods Will is that no one should die but have everlasting life. Faith and obedience to His word is pleasing to Him.
The gospels are not anti semetic. No one today is responsible for the choices their ancestors made so why carry it? Isn’t it like praying for the dead? Life is in the blood and that life is in Christ, in it the new covenant.

So, where are the prophets now? We have them, and miracles, listed in the Old Testament, where are they now?
There has been quite a few prophets since Malachi, and everyone has access to them.
To use the word beget or begot in terms of God, simply seems to mean Jesus because he was born or begotten. And through that introduction of begetting comes all of the discussion and it doesn't seem much of a stretch to say that that is the whole thing, jesus's birth and somehow it gets a little bit stretched on too eternity if that's possible.
Yes, I expect that first came the claim he was born to Mary as a virgin birth by the holy spirit and God's son, a bit like ancient Greek heroes were said to often be sons of gods, but then the theologians took it further in their convoluted debates and theories as to the relationship between Jesus and the Father.
I heard you. And, the people who believe in the Trinity, are very upset hearing the Catholics say, “holy Mary, mother of god,” yet teach the same thing in Jesus divinity.
Jesus(as) was the last prophet in Israel, always referred to himself as having been sent by God, meaning that he was a Divine messenger. For instance: ''This is Eternal Life: to know you the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent''(John 17:3). It was long after his time that the expression son of God was transmuted into God, the Son, meaning thereby that Jesus was the second person in the Trinity. The entire concept of the Trinity was foreign to the thinking of Jesus. It is true that in Luke 1:32, he is called the son of the Highest and in 1:35, the son of God; but these expressions in Biblical idiom do not at all connote Divinity or partnership in Divinity.
These expressions were in common use in scripture but were always employed metaphorically and in no single instance did it connote God. As we read in the Bible: Israel is My son, even My first born. (Exodus 4:22)
Also I will make him (David) Myfirst born, higher than the kings of the earth. (Psalms 89:27) He (Solomon) shall be My son, and I will be his Father. (1. Chron 22:10) Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the children of God. (Matt. 5:9)
More significant than all this is the explanation expressed by Jesus himself: ''Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him. Jesus answered them, Many good works have I showed you from my Father; for which of those works do you stone me? The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; because that thou, being man, makest thyself God. (John 10:31-33)
Jesus answered them, is it not written in your law, I said, ye are gods? If he called them gods unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken; say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, thou blasphemeth; because I said, I am the son of God (John 10:34-35)
This makes it quite clear that the expression, god or son of God, when applied to Jesus, by himself or by others, meant no more in his case than it means in its application to others in scripture, ( several instances above). He was son of God in that sense, but in no way at all God, the son, the second person in the Trinity as is usually claimed by some Christians.
It is rare to see such an articulate comment as this one. Usually, Muslims reject the Gospel, despite their alleged belief in the Books.
@@OpenCorridor-en3ox Man always interpolates, misconstrues or misappropriates Divine teachings after the prophets have come and gone. No wonder then that the teachings and person of prophet Jesus were also distorted by the future generations of those who followed. When it is said that message of Jesus must have been interpolated, it does not mean that all the teachings of Jesus underwent a complete man - made transformation. This is never permitted to happen to Divine scriptures by God. There is always retained some of the original truth, untouched and unadulterated. It is in the light of this that a careful study of the Gospels is always rewarding. A careful scrutiny of the source material of Gospels reveals that message of the prophet Jesus was not different from other Divinely revealed religions in fundamentals. Jesus not only strongly believed in that One God Who is the Creator of the Universe but also ever had enjoined others to believe in that One God.
As it states in the Bible. One of the scribes came, and heard them questioning together. Knowing that he had answered them well, asked him, “Which commandment is the greatest of all?” Jesus answered, “The greatest is, ‘Hear, Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one: you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.’This is the first commandment. The second is like this, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’There is no other commandment greater than these.The scribe said to him, “Truly, teacher, you have said well that he is one, and there is none other but he, and to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbor as himself, is more important than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.” When Jesus saw that he answered wisely, he said to him, “You are not far from the Kingdom of God.” (Mark 12:28-30)
The word face also means in Hebrew, nose, or anger. Jacob fought with the angel and saw the anger of God.
Is Christ the only begotten Son, or a one of a kind Son? This article looks at the etymology of the Greek word monogenes to answer this question.

Monogenes: “Only Begotten” or “One of a Kind”?
μονογενης⤒🔗
In more recent times some scholars have advanced the view that the Greek word μονογενης (monogenes) does not mean ‘only begotten’; as in the Authorised (King James) Version, but ‘one of a kind’ or ‘unique’ or something equivalent which omits the concept of ‘begotten’.[1] This article considers whether the concept of ‘begetting’ or ‘derivation by birth’ properly belongs to μονογενης, or whether the word simply means ‘one of a kind’ or ‘unique’. Both the etymology and usage of μονογενης are examined. It is concluded that the concept of ‘begetting’ or ‘derivation by birth’ does properly belong to μονογενης, so that it is correctly translated ‘only begotten’, and that translations which omit the concept of ‘begotten’ are probably driven more by a theological motive than by impartial consideration of the evidence.

Do Calvinists think Jacob wrestling with the angel is foreshadowing Jewish people wrestling with Jesus?
Hello Tovia
Please, do not mislead the good people
You got very unworthy job, to go against God Almighty
When you mentioned traditional Christians that is working on your side,
but the Holy Scriptures tells us truth
Can you open Proverbs
Proverbs 30:4
Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? who hath gathered the wind in his fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment? who hath established all the ends of the earth? what is his name, and what is his son's name, if thou canst tell?
This place, as many more in Tanach, is talking about God and Son, Jesus Messiah
I think some of the founding Christians had that "anxiety of influence"(Harold Bloom), & corrupted the texts. First, maybe people did work to make Jesus clearly the messiah, inserting the bits about his hereditary line, etc, but then, scholars added to the mistakes with the trinity, because they're trying to differentiate Christianity.
It's all still very instructive, because we're learning how some "good" people will tamper with the plain truth.
Maybe that's what God wanted, in addition to drawing us toward Judaism; but it isn't as if Judaism doesn't have its problems, to me. Why on earth would God ask Issaac to kill his own son? Christians say it's a foreshadowing of Jesus. If it isn't foreshadowing Jesus, why would God put Abraham & Issaac through that? Maybe it's only to say that we should doubt our weird thoughts, and not do it. Don't drink the poison, or kill our children, even if we think it's to please God.
I know this is dumb, sort of, but I really don't like my mom being wrong about the holy spirit not being in the bell tower at my dad's cemetary.
Or, could a holy spirit still be in the bell tower? Or, is that just completely OUT, if you're Jewish, as you see it?
Please let me know.
I'm not sure I want to give up on the holy spirit being in the bell tower. I'm thinking about it.

I heard, or maybe read, that Jacob was wrestling with God; then, a Calvinist person I saw, briefly, said the Calvinists don't really like that. What's that about? I just sort of thought it was God wrestling with an angel, supposedly representing God, as I read. It made sense to me. Why don't they like it? They don't think Jacob should wrestle with God, right? I thought this foreshadowed communion, though, so why would a Calvinist not like it?
Can you cover the how & why Jacob would wrestle with God, or God through his angel?
If everyone was taught the 'Grand Unification of the Four Universal Field Forces' in school...we would all be Christians. As it is, Almighty God, Jehovah, took it upon Himself to teach us what we couldn't possibly understand...first through Moses and the Jews, then, because of the many anti-God changes to His word, by the direct involvement of a high Heavenly official, Jesus Christ, who bacame Jehovah's only begotten Son.... If stale mucous building up inside our body is our greatest problem, Jesus Christ can help. If it is knowing what to expect when we die, Jesus can help there too. If it involves what has happened and will happen to our beloved deceased, well...Jesus is an expert there as well.

Actually. Christianity is the secret doctrine of Kabbalah.
The Trinity is the 3 top Sephira in the Kabbalistic tree: Kether, Hokmah, Binah.
The middle pillar (there are 3 pillars in the tree) is the Messiah, called Metatron. The Angel of the Lord.
The Kundalini serpent.
Sushumna, ida and pingala are the THE THREE (Pillars) main nadis in the human body. Nadis are channels that allow the movement of the energy (prana) throughout the body. The middle pillar (Nadis/channel) is the Shushumna, in which the Christ YHSWH יהשוה (Yehoshua-Jesus-Kundalini energy) is raised from the spiritual death.
Sensible Christians celebrate the memory of a just man who was tortured and killed by Romans for no good reason. The figure of the man on the cross decorates Christian churches to this day to remind us of the man's humanity and suffering. And this is all. The rest is decorum. The message conveyed is that by following the man's teaching we may rise above our scroungy every day existence. All the remaining prattle about the Holy Ghost, virgin birth, Davidic line, being the Son of God, prophecies, miracles, and what not, is just that, prattle. We'd be better off dropping this unnecessary baggage altogether.
Fascinating take. Lets Christians off the hook if they simply admit that they are following an honorable path of treating their fellow man with kindness and generosity, etc. Very reasonable, as well as admirable. Unfortunately, they’ve dug themselves a hole, backed themselves into a corner, with the dogmatic belief in the Trinity.
I don't think I've heard a worse reductionist take than this one not going to lie😅
@georgecollord7650 The Father is the Universe, the Holy Ghost is the entanglement, and Jesus is the Man. We are all eyes, ears, and brains of the Universe which comes into existence by observing itself through us.
Sir,Jesus is more humane than a total abstraction of formless God, which of course can not be formed into an idol, and one has to resort to other symbols in some kind of physical form.

Yahweh just up and disappeared after that.
They never have any definition of any term word in their doctrine. Father is God. What the heck is father? What the heck is god? God is Father, isn't he in the Bible? What the heck is person? a non-human person?

Allow me to play the role of the fundamentalist or orthodox Torah believer. My counter argument to the Book of the Hebrews is this: if the author can’t even copy-paste correctly from the Torah, then what he wrote is not a authoritative book! If ye can’t do basic things like write it over, copy paste, dear author of book of Hebrew, then ye don’t count, go back to elementary school and then maybe ye can do theology. 😂
Yes, “Hebrews” is the worst of the Greek booklets.
What do you mean by "if the author can’t even copy-paste correctly from the Torah, then what he wrote is not a authoritative book!?"
Well, let’s explain it so. When you do homework of the subject history, you copy from the history book. When you do math, you give answers in math format. Doing music, you write music notes. Each to its own context. The author of Hebrews is mixing it all together, and trying to proof his point that way.

Hello sir, are u a christian?

Let's not talk about the validity of the claims of the OT...
The authenticity of Moses is based on the public revelation at Sinai: God revealed Himself to the entire nation of Israel, at least three million people, and proclaimed before them the Ten Commandments. The entire Jewish people personally experienced that revelation, each individual in effect becoming a prophet, and each one verifying the experience of the other. With their own eyes they saw, and with their own ears they heard, as the Divine voice spoke to them, and also they heard God saying, "Moses, Moses, go tell them the following ..." They did not receive the occurrence of that event and accept it as some claim or tradition of an individual, but they experienced it themselves. That public revelation, therefore, authenticated the bona fide status of Moses as a prophet of God, and the Divine origin of the instructions he recorded in the Torah. That, and that alone, is the criterion for the belief in, and acceptance of, Moses and his teachings, as God said to him, "I will come unto you in a thick cloud that the people may hear when I speak with you and will also believe in you forever" (Exodus 19:9).
At the end of the day Torah doesn't depend on the NT. But if Torah proves what you call the New testament wrong then it's wrong. There's no other explanation. Christianity and Judaism could not be more different.
I mean it doesn't matter what you tell people, the standards they place on the New Testament when applied to other events, shows unjust weights and measures, I mean I personally don't believe history proves anything the same way science doesn't prove anything
It doesn't matter how many historians say that something happened or something didn't happen or scientists say that something is true vs something is not true, that doesn't justify belief in something, that's the Orthodox view anyway
St Paul doesn't say "look at the evidence and you'll believe"
Jesus doesn't say "When I resurrect they'll believe"
St Paul in Romans 10:17 says:
"So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God."
And Jesus in Luke 16:31 says:
"If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, neither will they be persuaded though one rise from the dead."
We're not an evidence based religion, although it's nice to have physical remains, outside sources repeating what the bible says and what not, none of that is what gives true faith, true faith is from:
Romans 8:26-27
“Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. Now He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God.”
The spirit helps us in our weakness, God's Spirit is constantly strengthening our faith, because the flesh is weak but through the grace of God he helps up keep our faith

God said to Aaron "You have no SHARE in ISRAEL, you are Mine, I Am the Lord, I AM YOUR SHARE". So Moses made the law that the Priest who is devout would inherit God Himself. LITERALLY, because the only SHARE for the Priest is God HIMSELF , the Priest did not observe Sabbath Rest, he had different laws , sacrifices and callings. Priest could not own land in Israel, could not inherit wealth of Land of Israel, the PREIST WAS NOT ISRAEL. So the Priest was a Medium a SHAMAN FIGURE consumed by God owned lock stock and barrel, not at all Israel. Now the Jews clamored to Samuel their Judge to give them a mortal man be King of Israel , when Samuel stressed that only God is the King of Israel. So God it was GOD who said to Samuel "GIVE THE JEWS WHAT THEY WANT, THEY ARE ALL LIKE THE HEATHEN NATIONS" . So then comes the RIDDLE how to produce, under the Law of Moses, a Man who is also God, to please the demands of the Jews for a mortal king of Israel, when only God as SPIRIT , GOD UNSEEN was King a King without form. So the RIDDLE had to be solved, because GOD TOLD SAMUEL TO DO IT.
Then in the example, how to solve the RIDDLE. Yeshua the Priest in Zechariah Six, first he was a priest, that was all he was, but then LATER God sent word to make YESHUA the Priest also wear the Crown of the King of Israel ,and that became a "MEMORIAL" passed along to foretell what sort of candidate would be King of Israel as both Man and God.
Now Jesus had the pedigree and let to teach Oral Law on Sacred Ground in Temple Israel COURTS, that is a biggie. If Jesus was not a Priest of their Order, they would have arrested Jesus the first day and killed him for his offense. But Jesus taught in the Temple Courts to Jews for THREE YEARS. What does that prove ? He had a license , he was a Priest of the Korbanot of Temple Israel, which thing no Jew today has as their title. PRIEST. Now, God promised Phinehas the Priest that the TRUE ISRAEL would never lack for a Priest and Prophet throughout all Generations. But the Jews have not had either for two thousand years, and they do not eat the Passover, according to Exodus 12, with the Lamb in the Matzos ,with the Bitter Herbs and recite the Name of the Lord Judaism is only a Memorial religion , they are not ISRAEL "YET". They could be but not yet.
Jesus rose from the dead, so to exercise of Moses Law to let a man rise to inherit God Himself, and later at some other time for a different reason , to return as the fit candidate to be King of the Jews. So in a prophetic way, though he knew not why , Pontius Pilate brought out Jesus to the Jews and said "BEHOLD THE MAN" . This was the RIDDLE how do you get the King of Israel to be both a Man and also be God ??? Catholic Faith is the only legitimate Faith based on the Priesthood as the solution to the RIDDLE. The Jews rejected the SPIRIT INVISIBLE GOD TO BE THEIR KING and when God gave the Jews what they wanted, a Man to be King, they also rejected the Man. So the RIDDLE required the TRUE KING OF ISRAEL to be both a Man and God , and Samuel was ordered by GOD to solve the RIDDLE and it was done. First you groom the Priest , his laws were unique and separate from Israel, he did not rest on the Sabbath, he belonged to God alone, he was not able to own land in Israel or inherit the Wealth of KINGS. David , Solomon , Hezekiah , they were not really Kings of Israel, they were PRINCES, because first they were not Priests of Temple Israel , they did not give their lives for the Propitiation for the Sin the Jews committed, when the Jews rejected the SPIRIT GOD as KING and demanded a Mortal Man , making the Jews unto HEATHENS who were worshipping BAALS.
Rabbis cannot eat the Passover they are not Israel, Jesus ate Passover, Jesus is Israel, Jesus rose, Jesus inherited Title of GOD HIMSELF Jesus is the Messiah , he returns, in the appropriate time to save the world, to be crowned King of Israel. That is the RIDDLE that Samuel as Judge of the Heathen Jews had to produce when God ordered Samuel to give the Jews what they wanted. Then when they got it, they did not get it, that is the TRICK to the RIDDLE . Samson was great at Riddles, but Samson had the fault of telling his women , his secrets , so the Gentiles got the best of him, but now God winked the eye and that is why the Gentiles in Isaiah Nine are the Peoples who call the Messiah "EL GIBBOR" Mighty God.
The Rabbis like Tovia are going only down to Sheol , and as they pass "Go" they will not see God.
I agree with most of what you said. However, God did say he would make a new covenant with the house of Judah and after those days, a new covenant with the house of Israel. Not like the one God made with Moses. Jeremiah 31. Can someone please explain what they believe these clear statements to mean?
Also, Deut 4:2 talks about not adding to or removing from the 10 commandments and statutes and ordnances regarding those 10 commandments. And the very next chapter 5:22 God said he added no more after this was given and written on tablets. So I can understand why many people are confused by the adding of all the additional Blood sacrifices, New moon feasts, and Sabbaths. An argument could be made that there were words added to Moses original law. If I'm incorrect could someone please clarify. Thank you.
P.s. I'm not a trinitarian nor do I believe in the Catholic or Protestant religions.
My metaphor is a renewal of vows. ❤
Read Hosea 3:4-5
I feel like the more fundamental question is 'was Jesus "caused"' because if he was "begotten" then his begetting by the father is the cause of his existence. I just don't worship caused beings
We don't believe Jesus is caused, we believe he is eternally begotten, this is called eternal generation
@keitumetsemodipa3012 that's sounds profound but doesn't seem to escape causality.
Causality doesn't require time thus "eternal" doesn't solve any problems here, the father caused jesus to be begotten whether "this day" as in your scriptures or eternally as in your doctrine.
Eternally begotten is still begotten.
Still, why is the eternity of jesus even a factor in your religion? Why do you see it as important?
@@PatrickPease It sounds more like we disagree on what begotten and cause means, so as to not fall into word / concept fallacy, could you explain what you mean by cause and begotten and I'll explain what Orthodox Christian Theology means by begotten and cause
We believe Jesus is God (by God we mean the self existing being that has various qualities, often referred to as omni qualities as well as a few other important ones, such as immanence, impassibility, aseity, perichoresis, immutable and the list goes on and on but you get the idea
So Jesus is important because we believe that he is the Logos / word of God
@@keitumetsemodipa3012 Yes, the issue is that you don't believe that Jesus is "self-begotten" regardless of what those concepts mean, Jesus was begotten by the father. And insofar as the person of Jesus and the person of the father are distinguishable then The father caused Jesus to be begotten and the person of Jesus did not beget himself.
Of course, if you de-personalize the statements (which is what judaism would like you to do) then it begins to be more sensible, though the problems do become more glaring
@@PatrickPease I don't see how we are avoiding equivocation here because as I said previously, it sounds like we have different understandings of what begotten means, it may address the issues that you think we have.
I AM NOT A TRINITARIAN CHRISTIAN; I AM NOT CHRISTIAN, PERIOD. I AM A YISRAELITE (ebioniy): aka an Ebionite, even Bene Yisra'El. I do not accept the divinity of Yehowshuwa Mashiyach at all. So, do not conflate the idea, that followers of a Jewish man (who we regard as Mashiyach - Deut. 18: 15-19; John 1:45; John 5:45-47; Acts 3:22.23; Acts 7:37; Acts 13:13-52 [33] and who we believe will return as a man even King David's descendant [Son Of David] as HaMashiyach to sit on King David's Throne) are Christians in the modern sense/ understanding of The Second Person Of The Trinity. Yehowshuwa was not, is not, and never will be YHVH or equal to YHVH in anyway, forever. Even, Yehowshuwa will submit to YHVH as Sha'uwl (aka Paul) said, so that all of The Creation will be in subjection to YHVH: The Eternal, Invisible, King Of The Universe, for ever, so let it be.
3 Persons in tbe Hypostatic union ? The plural of person is people. So God is 3 people with 3 Different PERSONalities. No I don't think so !!!!
It is specifically the second person of the Holy Trinity, the Son, who entered into the hypostatic union, taking on human nature without ceasing to be fully Divine. God exists as three distinct persons, not as three “personalities.”
In Orthodox theology, we express this mystery by saying that God is one in Essence (Ousia) and three in Hypostases (*Hypostases*). Ousia refers to the divine essence-God’s “whatness.” Just as I am human by virtue of my human essence, God is Divine by virtue of His Divine essence. Hypostasis, however, speaks to the unique, underlying reality of each Divine Person-Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. While "person" is often used to translate Hypostasis, it is an imperfect term, yet it conveys that each member of the Trinity is distinct and relational within the unity of God.
The Orthodox perspective approaches this mystery with deep reverence and caution, understanding that human language and philosophical categories are ultimately insufficient to fully describe God’s nature. We engage in apophatic (negative) theology, which emphasizes the transcendence of God beyond human concepts. This means that our understanding of God requires humility; we affirm that God is one undivided Being, not three separate deities, and we reverently hold that He exists eternally as precisely three Hypostases. This is not an exercise in speculative philosophy but an expression of the Orthodox experience of God, acknowledging His unity and the mystery of His tri-personal existence.
@keitumetsemodipa3012 . UTTER nonsense. You didn't even distinguish between PERSON and PERSONality. God is not 3 people . Moreover, God is infinite, and to suggest that the God head consists of 3 infinite beings is a mathematical impossibility. Additionally, the "Son" cannot be co eternal unlees he were a twin rather thsn begotten, this again is a misunderstanding of infinit/ eternity
There is only ONE infinite being, with one mind. Not a multiple personality disorder
@@keitumetsemodipa3012 The belief in a divine trinity is an idolatrous concept, since it is a belief that God (or according to some, a second separate divinity) has characteristic features, and the characteristics of a body.
@@TroyTempest-jx3vb I never used the word "personality," so I’m not sure what you mean by that term. It’s important to clarify that we do not believe in three infinite beings. We believe in eternal procession within the Holy Trinity. Simply put, the Son is eternally generated from the Father. An analogy might help here: just as light passing through a prism produces different colors, yet we still call it one light (unrefracted), similarly, the Son and the Holy Spirit, though distinct in hypostasis, share the same divine essence as the Father.
We believe that the Son is the exact representation of the Father. When the Bible speaks about the patriarchs seeing God but also says no one can see God and live, we interpret this as meaning they saw the image of God, not the Father Himself. For example, when Moses encountered God, it was the image of God he saw, not the Father’s essence. Similarly, when the Israelites saw, spoke with, and ate with God during the Exodus, it was the image of God, not the Father.
Regarding the Holy Trinity, we hold that God is one infinite being, but that being exists in three hypostases-Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. This means God is not divided into three infinite beings, nor is He less than three hypostases. To understand the Trinity, it’s crucial to grasp the distinction between essence (the shared divine nature) and hypostasis (the persons of the Trinity). Without understanding these concepts, it’s difficult to discuss the nature of God in Orthodox theology.
Finally, we believe that God has one mind and one will. Despite the distinct hypostases of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, God remains one infinite being.
@@hrvatskinoahid1048 I actually have a question, because I keep hearing this from Jews
If a person believes that Jesus is Hashem is that Idolatrous, am I worshipping another God that is not the God of Israel?
Rochacha!!!!!!!!!!!!
💯. If you simply look at how many TOP ✝️ Evangelicals who after finishing PhD levels, simply go Atheist ⚛️. The trend is mind boggling. The most popular Apologetics channel is Myth vision. A great platform for Academics to hash out. The organizer Derek tells how he was a hard core Evangelical ✝️ then just got dejected by the amount of evidence against the Church doctrine.
Therefore they could not believe, because that Isaiah said again, John12, 39-
40: He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart;
that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart,
and be converted, and I should heal them.
Tovia, for a moment, step out of the realm of religion, theology, psychology, linguistics, etc., and enter the realm of science. When Jesus was alive and breathing the air around him, some of what he was breathing was oxygen. It took several centuries before oxygen was identified and given a name, but I assure you that oxygen was present in the air long before Jesus was born. In a similar way, the components of the Trinity were present long before they were assembled in the doctrine of the Trinity. In fact, the words 'Father', ' Son', and 'Holy Spirit' can be found in the New Testament. So, just as our understanding of the universe we live in is changing, so is our understanding of the words in the New Testament. The Nicene Creed of the Roman Catholic is simply an elegant summary of the BELIEFS of the largest Christian denominations today. If it helps people live the Will of God stated in the Ten Commandments...SO BE IT!!!!😇
Christianity is fundamentally flawed, because many the the Christological notions accreted over the years. They were not formed systematically so they should all be consistent and mutually support all others. This is why real Christian scholars are usually not religious because they have trouble believing because they are well aware of the contradictions.
