I think my inner conflict of giving being the biggest virtue and working towards success and profit is vanity stems from the church. My parents, pastors, always said that we were being worldly if we wanted to miss a church service because of our studies. I remember asking my dad to go to University and he outright refused. Poverty was seen as peity and humility and money made you puffed up and delinquent. I almost adopted this idea until I saw how happy I was every time I had money.
The funny thing is that it is not a biblical view, it stems from translations from the original language and a lack of understanding of the culture at the times in which the books of the Bible were written. We are not proponents of the "Prosperity Gospel" either, as God does not promise anyone wealth. Money is neutral, neither good nor bad, it does amplify the soul of the person who has the money. So, in that sense, it will make you more of who you already are. However, the Bible is critical of those who prioritize money over people, i.e., covetousness and being a miser.
The rabbi is extremely knowledgeable. You can sense his wisdom radiating. I will have to check out more of his stuff and perhaps convert to join all those walking to Synagogue on Saturday mornings near my neighborhood.
I am diametrically opposed to the Rabi’s Jewish take of “prosperity theology”…just another “snake oil” salesmanship therapy for what’s ails society. תיקון עולם isn’t the “virtue of selfishness” under whatever humorous and erudite garb…Certainly a captivating talk show. Thank you to you all!
Thanks, Rabbi I'm watching from SA, Your teachings are awesome, courageous and very motivational especially to Christian communities, you are greatly knowledgeable, God bless you 🙏.
Thank you Rabbi. Im watching from South Africa and wisdom and information very useful. I will buy the books but in the meantime let me read my bible. Thank you very much. It's an eye opener.
I think this channel is great! I think the Rabbi is phenomenal. However, I have to disagree with him regarding his comment that it doesn't take a village to raise a child. It does take a village to raise a child. This philosophy actually coincides with the Bible when it says that it is not good for man to be alone. How many children (other than our own) do we interact with or impact on a regular basis? If a child learns from various people, the likelihood of that person becoming a more well-rounded person is going to be higher than one who grew up in an isolated situation. Teachers, coaches, librarians, business owners, and even extended family can have a positive impact on the growth and development of a child. The interaction with all of these different people when the person is a child, then he/she will be able to interact with others an adult (including in business).
Thank you for watching! What you are describing is healthy normal interactions with human beings, all of which Rabbi Lapin, I am sure, would support. I believe he was more referring to the push for the government to have more say than parents.
Thank you for watching! Mutual insurance companies that sell dividend-paying whole life insurance contracts only exist in the US and Canada. If you own hard assets in the US, then you can still participate.
So in your mind, are all Jews responsible for anything done wrong by one Jewish person? Wouldn't that make you responsible for anything wrong done by someone of your race?
@@TheMoneyAdvantage well not necessarily. But since he took upon himself the task of being the apologist for all rich Jews, then this would be the inevitable side effect of that!
The moment i hear this, i realised how lost we are. Thanks God for this education
Grateful for the opportunity to learn and grow every day.

does infinite banking applys to any country or setting?
Thank you for watching! Mutual insurance companies that sell dividend-paying whole life insurance contracts only exist in the US and Canada. If you own hard assets in the US, then you can still participate.

Thank you for watching
Infinite Banking is not allowed in the UK 😔
Thank you for watching! The only way around it that we know of would be if you have hard assets in the US such as a business or real estate.
I am confused with rabbi’s disdain for big banks when they are owned by his fellow Jews!
So in your mind, are all Jews responsible for anything done wrong by one Jewish person? Wouldn't that make you responsible for anything wrong done by someone of your race?
