The obstacle to my converting to Judaism and I made my decision a year ago is the fact that I have to move I don't have a synagogue within 400 mi of me I have to move and I had a car accident a couple of years ago unfortunately and it cost me quite a bit of money plus I have multiple sclerosis and I only work part-time.

    A Jewish is going to teach me the Torah and suggested I listen to Rabbi Singer.
    I am seeing the great devotion to Jewish Scripture and the ongoing emphasis on One God.
    But the negative is witnessing the profound loss of the reality of Christ completely bypassing our actual experience in Him, the personal encounter with His Divine presence common among so many millions of people down through time and today.
    Christ is not about just text in the Word, it is about Personhood, new life, the directive to pick up one’s cross daily and follow Him enduring to the end, and recognizing Christ in our neighbor, not just in our kin, but any person, including a Jew.
    His presence is transforming. He likewise says the kingdom is most dear, difficult to enter.
    The battle is over our hearts, to be compassionate, to love. To have the universal perspective on the human condition and live it.
    There are countless many who experienced Him that they had no desire to marry or be of this world, living perfection solely for God. The monasteries have done great good for surrounding populations down through history.
    Salvation is for those who endure to the end.

    • @KathleenGuloy
      @KathleenGuloy 7 месяцев назад

      My prayer for the Jews is they realize the compassion so many Christians have for the Jewish people, that they forgive the past counter Christians had done to them, that they are persecuted for their foundational faith in God,
      and that some day they realize we will be one without compromise in each other.
      A rabbi said that when that day comes, the Jew will say, see I was right, and the Christian will say I was right, and Jerusalem will be returned as the spiritual capitol of the world.
      But for now, pass as it becoming too much the insinuations Catholicism is idolatry and the ongoing misinterpretations of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
      He will return in glory.
      God bless all.

    Jesus's Bible teaching, by Belief, confession, & recieving HOLY

    the reason for Pauls sharing was 1) Jesus(Acts) 2) Pauls
    experiences after that, & Jerusalem Council approach.
    Paul is not ignoring or denying Gen- Mal...Paul is
    showing Jesus teaches right entrance, humans do not.

    with all respect Rabi Singer. Paul did meet Jesus on the road to Damascus. Paul said the same thing Moses, of blessed memory said in the book of dueteronomy chapter 10 - 16 "Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and be no more stiffnecked."
    Paul says in Romans 2:25 "29 But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God."
    and just for the record I believe in Christ and I love the Jews, unconditionally!

    Thank you Tovia.
    Please correct me if I'm wrong.
    The way I see it, regarding purification law or ritual law; these laws will always be in place to preserve the holiness of HaShem.
    HaShem is the top of the mountain (so to speak) in the world.
    The children of Jacob were chosen to live at the base of the mountain, between HaShem and the other nations of the earth.
    Because HaShem is holy, His mountain is holy and must be respected and honored.
    Like the Kohen, who must be purified before they can approach the Temple; the people of Jacob as a whole, must live in a certain state of purity, in order to be the people who resides at the base of the mountain of HaShem (which we know as the land of Israel)
    The Christians wrongly think the children of Israel did the ritual Mitzvot for salvation.
    No, it's because they have been chosen to live in close proximity with HaShem and absolutely must keep themselves in a certain state of purity.

I don’t try to explain the truth of Judaism to anyone because they would either resist or be too upset shattering their identity by understanding the falsehoods of Christianity so I just said it myself, “Well, bless her heart.

    Is anyone here aware of the 1st Century CE Christian ✝️ belief of Adoptionism? This was prevalent among Jesus’s followers. It was the belief that an angel entered Jesus at his Baptism. It was seen as a dove by many. Spirit of the Lord was much like being the Voice of Pharaoh, a governor of a region who spoke and made laws. Spirit of the Lord was considered to be an angel and nothing more.

    You forgot to mention Pentecost where the Holy Spirit descended in the form of tongues of fire on the Apostles and the other disciples following the Crucifixion, Resurrection, and Ascension of Jesus Christ and marks the beginning of the Christian church’s mission to the world. Yes Paul was important in spreading the teachings of Jesus in the first century and founding several Christian communities in Asia Minor and Europe. Peter was also important as one of the twelve Apostles and one of the first leaders of the early Christian Church. Peter was crucified in Rome under Emperor Nero. The ancient Christian churches all venerate Peter as a major saint and as the founder of the Church in Antioch and the Church of Rome. Saint Irenaeus in his book explains the Apostle Peter, His See and his successors in book III of Adversus Haereses (Against Heresies). In the book Iraneus wrote that Peter and Paul organised the Church in Rome. Based on contemporary historical data, Peter’s papacy is estimated to have spanned from AD 30 to his death, which would make him the longest reigning Pope, at anywhere from 34 to 38 years. And here we are some 2000 years later The Catholic Church is the largest Christian church with 1.28 to 1.39 billion baptised Catholics worldwide as of 2024. Amen

    But many gentiles converted to 🐟 not thinking in Judaism at all but following the Eleusyan Misteries🌾 of Greece, but in a easier and cheaper way. Both religions: Eleusyan Misteries and Judaism were hard to follow (and Eleusyan was very expensive), Christianity was an easy and free way to join both or one of them.

    The rabbi is conflating the covenant that God made with Abraham with the Law. They’re two separate things. Paul is saying that Abraham and his offspring were saved by their faith and no amount of following the Law will create that faith. It has to come first. Saved by faith, not works. When you believe and have faith in God, you’re no longer constrained by the Law, but out of love for God, you will do things that are pleasing to God. It’s basically the difference between authoritarian vs. authoritative parenting. The one needs lots of rules to try to control the child (Don’ts) vs. the other is based on teaching right principles so the child controls themselves (Dos). So I don’t need to list; Don’t hit. Don’t kick. Don’t steal; because I’m teaching them to be kind, be respectful, be honest.
    Angels was probably a poor translation of “messengers”. God sent a lot of messengers to His people…wouldn’t you agree? I would recommend for everyone to read Galatians 3 for yourself. Don’t just take the Rabbi’s word for it. He’s not understanding what it actually says.

Does their faithlessness nullify the faithfulness of God? By no means! Let God be true though every one were a liar, as it is written, “That you may be justified in your words, and prevail when you are judged.” But if our unrighteousness serves to show the righteousness of God, what shall we say? That God is unrighteous to inflict wrath on us? (I speak in a human way.) By no means! For then how could God judge the world? But if through my lie God’s truth abounds to his glory, why am I still being condemned as a sinner? And why not do evil that good may come?-as some people slanderously charge us with saying.

    All this is very interesting but it does not explain why God let Christianity became the world's largest religion. Same question for Islam.
    My stock answer is that it was to spread the concept of monotheism among the pagans of world. Something Judaism couldn't do on its own for the reasons you mentioned.

    Paul was not in the habit of giving the people what they wanted! Paul was a bona fide sure enough Jew who wanted to force Judaism on even Christians if he could.
    It's funny that you believe everything that Paul said that you feel as negative towards Judaism, but you don't believe the parts that Paul said where Paul was persecuted for his doctrine.

    In worldly terms Paul was very succesfull before he was a follower of Jesus, he gave up his power and gai8ned nothing but trouble and execution.
