I listened to the first 4 minutes of this hoping for an intelligent response from Rabbi Manis Friedman, all that became clear is that neither he nor his "christian" friend understand Christianity all all.
What should we 'understand' that will cause you "accept" our non belief?
The 613 commandments which can't be fulfilled were given to prove that we can't be saved on our own. But when you only believe in an 11 month hell, it's a moot point.
@@nomorecensoringme I accept your non belief but have a correct non belief about things understood correctly, not based on errors. Communicating erroneous information doesn't help anyone.
What you don't understand is he's not putting down Christianity, he's enlightening areas that are missed in loving God & following his path of goodness here on earth if I'm not mistaken.
Ok Ewa, so answer me this: what happens to the soul of a person that rejects God and spends his life proving to everyone that He cannot exist?
Men have trouble accepting that God does not have the same needs or emotional design as human beings. He needs nothing, because he lacks nothing. We NEED him because we lack alot.
Amen!
I don't think either of you listened to the whole clip
And I mean LISTENED
@@NIF18 i did.
@@michemiche1764 yet you possibly didn't get it.
Vulnerability = needs = love
No other way it can happen.
God doesn't need us, we need him❤❤❤❤❤❤
If he doesn't need us, why he created us? On a whim?
😅 God need us and he loved us
Who’s going to stroke his ego?
We don't need God. We need each other because we were created in his image. The best way to serve God is to treat your fellow human being the vest way possible. You can't do anything for God. Even the thought that God is in his creation is nonsense. It's like a baker being in his baked bread.
@@roginyappl7158How do you know what God needs?
It's a special kind of narcissism to project one's humanity on to God, and then to proclaim that he needs you.
😂 - now you and I need forgiveness me for laughing you for calling your brother "Raka" (Mat 5;2). Forgive us our trespasses by your great Mercy!
You know, that was very well worded.
God doesn’t need us He chooses to love us
So, please answer first, what is humanity?
@@ytbsxkytbsxk that’s the wrong question we should be asking who is our Creator and are we aligned with Him

@@anameichose8854you aren’t from the linage of David. You didn’t perform miracles. You didn’t keep the law perfectly, die on the cross for the sins of men, and resurrect on the third day.
My reaction was exactly the same as the comment below. The God we believe in grieves when we reject Him but is not ‘vulnerable’ as a human is vulnerable.
You are crazy if you think something you do can affect the creator
but it does affect him... @@Hawaiianiceman808
@@Hawaiianiceman808or that the creator is only ‘male’ 💯
They think they can understand him if they are smart enough.
It saddens him that's all he wants the best for us it saddens him when men ignore him and it angers him when they do terrible things as a result of that
@ 3 mins in, he's already confused. God respects your free will. He will not force you to be with him. He made the offer, you not him rejected it. He's not going to force you to be with him in eternity when you don't even want to be with him now. It's a simple concept to understand.
If a person has someone they love and that person rejects them, is it proper for that person to come groveling knowing that they'll do it in vain? Thats not love. Respecting that other person's decision is love. Love cannot be forced nor coerced. Let that person go and move on.
That is exactly what God does to those who reject him. He respects their free will and lets them be. The door is open if that person decides to come to him, but he will not force it.
Satanists do not believe in free will, they believe in "love under will", which is force.
Judaism : God needs us.
Christianity : we need God.
😊
Why would you put yourself greater than God. Those that exalt themselves will be abased. Don't forget why you wear that skull cap, a sign of humility before God. God does not need you otherwise he would not be omnipotent (which he is). God does use, love and care for his creations. God said in the Bible that he didn't need the Jews. If they would not worship him, he would just have the rocks of the earth do it. He doesn't need you, he will use you and care for you and all his creations though. To think otherwise is pure arrogance.
@@dogegamer3288 Am I better than those who need me?
@@wechosenfew7622 Depends. Do you believe God is Omnipotent? If so your statement answered itself. The whole premise contradicts God's character. He loves us, but certainly doesn't need us. God himself said it best here speaking to Job. Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth? Tell Me, if you have understanding. 5 Who determined its measurements? Surely you know! Or who stretched the line upon it? 6 To what were its foundations fastened? Or who laid its cornerstone, 7 When the morning stars sang together, And all the sons of God shouted for joy? 8 "Or who shut in the sea with doors, When it burst forth and issued from the womb; 9 When I made the clouds its garment, And thick darkness its swaddling band; 10 When I fixed My limit for it, And set bars and doors; 11 When I said, 'This far you may come, but no farther, And here your proud waves must stop!'
12 "Have you commanded the morning since your days began, And caused the dawn to know its place, 13 That it might take hold of the ends of the earth, And the wicked be shaken out of it? 14 It takes on form like clay under a seal, And stands out like a garment. 15 From the wicked their light is withheld, And the upraised arm is broken. 16 "Have you entered the springs of the sea? Or have you walked in search of the depths? 17 Have the gates of death been revealed to you? Or have you seen the doors of the shadow of death? 18 Have you comprehended the breadth of the earth? Tell Me, if you know all this. 19 "Where is the way to the dwelling of light? And darkness, where is its place, 20 That you may take it to its territory, That you may know the paths to its home? 21 Do you know it, because you were born then, Or because the number of your days is great? 22 "Have you entered the treasury of snow, Or have you seen the treasury of hail, 23 Which I have reserved for the time of trouble, For the day of battle and war? 24 By what way is light diffused, Or the east wind scattered over the earth?
@@dogegamer3288 To be certain your religion is best is pure arrogance.
Judaism, on the other hand, teaches that good people of any belief go to heaven. Now that's genuine humility.
Humility and confidence; an excellent combination for doing one's part for bringing heaven to Earth.
@@dogegamer3288 it depends on nothing. You are not better than anyone DogeGamer. Even G-d
I've been reading the book of Kings and Chronicles and what is evident is that Israel didn't want the one God but kept on going back to the pagan idols of other nations.
Makes you wonder why.
The lifeless idols didn't have to do anything, Yahweh did everything for them, but they kept going back to the stones...
Imagine being the all-powerful creator of the universe and you kept losing your people to stones figurines...
You got to be kidding me.
After the introduction of 99% of the kings….”and he did evil in the sight the Lord”. Josiah is the only one I remember since David that pleased him.
@@flameone4705 It's an illustration for us today. Our idols are movies, pop stars, sex, partying, frivolous shopping, etc. Although these sins seem like so much more, the stone figurines somehow possessed the same allure and distraction.
@@eekatikaclick You’re seriously comparing the mind candy that are the pleasures of modern society to a bunch of lifeless stones?
@@flameone4705stones were made of Gold and Silver like the Golden Calf lol
“For God so loved the earth...” You know the rest.
God loves us. God does not need us, he wants us to love him without compelling us. For without choice love does not exist.
Vulnerability defined: For God so loved the WORLD, that He gave His only begotten son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. Thank you Rabbi.
Oh please????
Exactly my feelings about giving my son away to become such an unwanted friend and rejected by all, while instructing him to be a gentleman and kind to all who despise him. As a father, I would be afraid they'd defile my most faithful and believing Son who by birth was a Bastard since his dad wasn't his dad! He felt the errs/errors of each and everyone of us taking on our very own afflictions, nature, and susceptibility, and ignored the pain, temptation, and sensations (to self-mutilate Himself) he refused to surrender to; and to instead dismiss, while still being our friend in the conflict w/in us who hear Him. Yeah, He weeps alone because of our absence. He wanted to help us out of our personal troubles and show you someone understands enough to let you know He's with you when everyone else rejects you, or derails you. And to gently nudge you with dreams, messages, and a stirring in your heart to abandon the Tyrannies of man, and to go by faith that no name under the Sun has disqualified you as the Spirit-filled gust that causes you to depart from the Contempt for you will not bow down and plead damnation on your soul, before a friend in your mirrored self-wrath of disappointment and constant self-analysis. Unless you're a boot-licker and prefer to be dictated everything.. I guess it's a miracle if someone loves you without a demand of proof about your loyalty. It was HIS loyalty accredited to your ability to come at the hour of 5pm rather than 7am, with the abundance of glory measured by how empty your own Cup was, to receive this Passion.

And you support these Rebellious Cult to k Their Neighbours ....
If I limit myself to the Torah alone, will it be enough for me to know God as He has described Himself? The integrity and reliability of the Bible is a vitally important issue for every living person.
This man acts like a modern day Pharisee
I respect this Rabbi very much and find so much wisdom in what he says, but on this subject... Idk about all churches but in my we are told that if you reject God it breaks his heart, that God weeps for his lost children. That God does long for relationships with us more than anything! So your friend just needed to go to a better church.
I knew when he said “practicing Christianity” that this probably wasn’t about true Christianity. “God needed us!” Wow!
He uses the phrase "practicing Christianity " rather than "was a Christian " because according to Jewish law, in the eyes of G-d a Jew remains a Jew even if he "converts".
The 613 commandments were not given to prove they can't be kept. They were given with precise instruction and with the promise of reward and punishment. G-d does not lie, nor does he play games. He means what He says. We don't need to be "saved"; we need to live up to our mission in life, which is to seek out G-d in our lives and connect with Him with Him with live and awe by fulfilling His will. For Jews this is the 613 commandments, for non-Jews this is the 7 Noachide Laws. Unlike other religions, Judaism teaches that you have a place in Heaven even if you are not Jewish, as long as you keep the 7 Noachide Laws. Judaism is not for everybody, but G-d's love is there for all who love Him. G-d's "vulnerability" is that He leaves it up to us to excersize our free will (a gift from Him) to decide whether we want to pursue a relationship with Him (which He wants). Certainly G-d showers us with love and compassion all the time, even when in hard times, but it's up to us to recognize it. He wants a connection with us, it's why He made us, but He doesn't force it on us. This chosen vulnerability does not detract one iota from His Supremacy. Only the Almighty Timeless Master of all has the ability to be so vulnerable with the assurance to ultimately have what He seeks.
By Jewish law do you mean the Torah or the Talmud
@TheSeptuagint Talmud is the oral part of the Torah. As an emergency measure at the beginning of our current exile, it was written in an abbreviated way, so as to retain it while still requiring the personal, teacher student mode of transmission. Without the Oral Law, the meaning and intent of the Written Law (what Christians call the "Old" Testament) cannot be properly understood. For example, in the Written Law, there is a commandment to use phylacteries, but the Oral Law is where there is a description of what they are.
Our creator doesn t need anything or anyone. He who needs something or others is not a god
@@peninagreenspan9878
Can you name the transmitters in the teacher - student mode of transmissions (the chain)?
Were those transmitters trustworthy?
I'm not sure I heard you right but if I heard you say that God needs US 🤯
No He DOES NOT but WE NEED HIM 🙌🏼
This man is deceived. He is holding on to his traditions with pride. That's Satanic. Sometimes people listen to senior citizens and their old demeanor and not what they're saying. I see you caught it, but it's not everyone. I hope someone can get through to him and God opens his eyes.
Exactly!n we hv to be with HIM or the devil gonna claim the empty vessels!!
Its a mutual relationship. God needs us to fulfill his commandments. If we do not do so, who will? Centipedes?
@@tchkvsky I mean God can make it so if he wanted to 🤷🏽♂️
A relationship goes both ways, it's pull and push.
God doesn’t need us. He made us out of an abundance of love as a unnecessary gift, freely given, which we neither earned nor deserved. If he needs us, then he would not be already perfect and therefore not God, properly understood.

@@truenorth2977
God’s Servant in Isaiah is always directly identified as Israel. Never once as the second person of a polytheistic three person deity.
Isaiah 41:8 “But thou, Israel, My servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, the seed of Abraham My friend;”
Isaiah 44:1 “Yet now hear, O Jacob My servant, and Israel, whom I have chosen”
Isaiah 44:2 “Fear not, O Jacob My servant,...”
Isaiah 44:21 “Remember these things, O Jacob, and Israel, for thou art My servant; I have formed thee, thou art Mine own servant; O Israel, thou shouldest not forget Me.”
Isaiah 45:4 “For the sake of Jacob My servant, and Israel Mine elect, I have called thee by thy name, I have surnamed thee, though thou hast not known Me”
Isaiah 49:3 “And He said unto me: 'Thou art My servant, Israel, in whom I will be glorified.'
With all due respect, blah blah blah. Not buying here. No conversion, forced or otherwise. Sell elsewhere for a better outcome, possibly.
GD never gave any "begotten son".Nowhere in Tanakh is that stated so. Only in the new testament will you find it;@alexzicker
I am looking at the comments from both Jews and Christians. Some of them are uplifting, but some are not and it makes me sad. I do not agree with every little thing Rabbi Friedman says, but I have got so much from his videos I cannot express how helpful they have been. I am Christian and can only speak from that point-of-view, but to me G-d would not want us to be rude to each other. In the New Text, it says to respect the Jewish people because they are the roots and Christians are the branches. And, that the branches cannot survive without the roots. The Jewish nation was anointed to bring the knowledge of G-d into this world and everyone should respect them for that. David said that anyone G-d anoints, no man has the right to judge, 1 Samuel 26:9

According to your book, j-man says, all those who know the only true G-d are one with Him.
He also recites Shema Israel, and says there is no other but He.
If he said, he was one with G-d, This isn’t a declaration of divinity. It’s a declaration of unity, and every Jewish person can identify with it, because every Jewish person has a spark of
G-d in them, and the Jewish people are connected and married to
G-d and are 1 with Him.
All of Israel is the son of G-d.
“Then you shall say to Pharaoh, ‘Thus says HASHEM: “Israel is My son, My firstborn.”
Exodus 4:22
There is only one god , not a trinity .
God doesn’t NEED us. He WANTS us. His love is not like human love, His love is PERFECT, COMPLETE and WHOLE. He can ‘feel’ vulnerability without literally being vulnerable. Remember he made us in his image. He gave us feelings. They are useful, but should not be blindly ‘followed’ as he warns us plenty. If we experience the “feeling” of vulnerability as images of Him, then He clearly experiences vulnerability Himself, yes? We are human, sinful and fallen, but He is whole and perfect and complete. His vulnerability is not the same.
Nah, being emotional is a deception of Satan.
Gods love and anger are dispassionate and logical.
Scripture says mans anger does not produce Gods righteousness and love is patient and kind.
Bardzo ciekawy wykład. I widzę w nim odpowiedź na pytanie tytułowe. Otóż. Bóg nie dlatego posłał na ziemię Jezusa Chrystusa że nie mógłby czegoś wykonać sam ale dlatego, że samemu będąc przepełniony miłością, stworzył nas ludzi i pragnął się z nami tą nieskończoną miłością podzielić. Dlatego dla nas stworzył TEN wszechświat i wszystkie PRZYSZŁE światy. Jezus przyszedł na ziemię po to, aby nam to oznajmić. Dlatego KAŻDY kto wierzy w Jezusa Chrystusa, otrzyma ten najwspanialszy dar miłości od samego Boga i dlatego mamy prawo nazywać się jego dziećmi amen. A jeżeli rabbi nie może tego zrozumieć to dlatego, że nie wierzy w miłość Boga do ludzi amen.
He's the only one that answers this question without even quoting from the Bible.
Rabbis, as a general rule, don't 'bible quote' like that. They may quote from the Talmud, the Tanya, or the Rebbe, Baal Shem Tov, etc.
@@nomorecensoringme That's too bad. Without listening to rabbis quote from the Bible itself to demonstrate exactly why and where the New Testament is wrong, I wouldn't be able to talk about it intelligently.
@@journeyintothebible how would rabbis quote from the NT without reading it? They don't. Frankly I'd be horrified if they did.
It's wrong because it's from men not from G-d, as the Torah is. That's it. No reading necessary. See how easy that was?
Is that a good thing?
There are some very questionable sayings hidden in the Talmudic writings which are massive in volume. We can form no opinions without a wealth of knowledge that would take years to amass. These are Rabbinical opinions formed and written during the Babylonian captivity. (The Babylonian Talmud). What is their significance to today's Judaic practices and belief system? This is a complicated subject whereas Christianity is mostly a matter of dogma and faith. Can Judaic faith be stated simply?
I don’t understand why he is saying no one cares if you are perfect.
The whole point of the law was to call humanity toward perfection and holiness so that we can be with him once again instead of separated from him by sin.
God cares about us being perfected because if we aren’t we can not be with him, we will die in his presence without being purified in perfection, through atonement, through a heart that is for him and his law.
I’m not Jewish but I thought this is a basic understanding of the function of the law, and he seems to be undermining it with his statements
Exactly
stop being deluded once and for all,no one is perfect ...to be perfect it means make no mistakes in life at all which is impossible,we all have bad thoughts sometimes we all fall victim sometimes to anger and etcc,if you think you can be perfect then You have serious mental issues .
I have always loved god since I can remember. I am a Christian and yes you are right, there is only one god. I need god more than god needs me! God the father, god the son and god the holy spirit amen!!

Whose Jerusalem?
I have Jewish heritage in my lineage, I am a Christian and raised as such, I believe in G*d's vulnerability. He said you will have no other gods before me, He gets jealous, he can be grieved, provoked to anger slow or not, we can move the hand of god and minister to his spirit... We are created in his image, and the many aspects of God, we are the reflection of Him. He is a family man, He needs people to participate, and when we don't he looks for a willing vessels. Shalom
It's horribly sad if you have Jewish women, how lineage is traced, and they turned their backs on it. If you're talking DNA it's irrelevant.
You seriously think you need to quote pieces of the Torah to us? To a rabbi? What does that prove for you?
We've spent over 3335 years studying it, dissecting it, to know intimate levels of G-d's words, not the simplicity of them.
No, G-d does not 'look for other vessels'. A relationship with G-d is complex, sometimes distant, sometimes intimately close. It is never, never, "abandoned". He has not "given up" on us, Jews, either. Moshiach is coming to finish the preparation for this world to be perfected for G-d to dwell here with us. Here. Not in heaven.
I'm a Jew who likes your post. In Judaism beliefs don't matter as much as your actions as part of your community. I was raised atheist Jewish. My dad was devout till the Holocaust. He would be 110 if he were alive today. Since some parts of Judaism see history as an expression of G-d's will, a lot of Jews who were adult during WW2 became atheist from that trauma. Ironically my return to Kabbalic beliefs started with participation in Native American ceremonies in my 30s. My atheism began cracking when I became a camping nut in my 20s & I had mystical experiences in nature.
My own belief is that if your religion gives you compassion & courage & a sense of responsibility, you please G-d, no matter what religion you believe in.
Hopefully, one day, you will turn away from the idolatry of xtianity and return to G.d. and his Instructions.
I have a complicated history, converting is not an option for me, but keeping the Noachide Laws allows me to love, fear and obey HaShem as a Non-Jew
(Father Jewish, mother a convert, so i am not a B'nei Ysrael).
Best wishes in your studies. If you have not done so yet, read Torah from beginning to end, it takes one year. We are on parasha " Naso" in the book of Numbers this week.
Prepare for Truth !!
@@nomorecensoringme well said.
Maybe God needed us so much and loved us so much that He became flesh and sacrificed Himself on the cross for us? Talk about being vulnerable right? He loved/loves us so much! I love the Rabbi’s videos. Thank you and Shalom. We serve the one True God.
Not possible, read the Torah. More specifically The book of Numbers where Hashem says " I am your male nor female, I have no shape or form!". The almighty does not change his mind. He transcends time so if that is what he was going to do he would have let us know that. At the end of Deuteronomy it's specifically outlines for the Jewish people to not follow prophets that speak against his word. It goes on further to say that that prophet Shall surely die. The idea that God became man is nothing more than a pagan invention created by Roman and Greek mythology. I'm sorry I do not mean to offend you I am only offering you God's word
@@CHAZZANELKINS01 Rabboni, I took your words in love.
How does one explain when God is described as speaking with Moses and Aaron in Numbers 12?
How does one explain The Lord speaking to Moses face to face, as one speaks to a friend in Exodus 33?
What about the story of the Tower of Babel that is found in the book of Genesis in the Torah, specifically in Genesis 11:1-9. According to the story, the people of the earth, who all spoke one language, gathered in the land of Shinar (Babylonia) and decided to build a city with a tower that would reach the heavens. They wanted to make a name for themselves and prevent their dispersal across the earth. Did The Lord come down to see the city and the tower the people were building?
In Isaiah 53, who is referred to as the "Suffering Servant"?
In Genesis 18, three men (understood to be angels) visit Abraham, and he extends hospitality to them. Similarly, in Genesis 32, Jacob wrestles with a man who is later revealed to be an angel. Were they in human form and were they angels ?

@@MM-lu2zk hey ding dong Proverbs is the Tanakh
It's me!
Sorry but i am Catholic and God doesn't send anyone who rejects Him to hell: it is precisely because he created us out of love that He can't force us to love Him. If we reject His love we CHOOSE hell because He gave us free will: hell is precisely the absence of God and we are free to choose it. It is only when you give someone freedom of choice that you show what real love is.
Cool! I will gladly choose hell over your god. Why would I want to spend an eternity with a being whose plan to save the world includes torturing and executing a virgin and then asking me to drink his blood?
Abortion is such a merciful act! The babies never have to choose and get to go to heaven! If they grew up some of them would not choose to be with your god and live eternity in torment. After all, we never chose to be here.
Is there freewill in Hell? If so can all us hellions decide to come together and make a place that is much better than this world or heaven? Apparently,, there is freewill in Heaven because a third of the Angels (demons) revolted. You think they were on to something? If your god is so wonderful why would a third of the angels that are in his presence decide to turn against him/her knowing that they can't win? Did god just create them that rebellious? Hmmmmm....

I have to say I’m quite disappointed. I have been struggling for a very long time on my intertwined faith between Judaism and Christianity. I grew up, messianic, Hebrew. Normally I love hearing Rabbi Friedman‘s messages. However, this time I can’t be on board with the idea of “God’s vulnerability” a god whom is vulnerable, must be capable of being flawed. Seeing how God and God alone determines what is good bad flawed or perfect . God in and of himself is quite incapable of being flawed or vulnerable. A God that is flawed is not worth worshiping. Therefore, the God of Abraham can only be an all powerful all-knowing and an invulnerable God.
I still love hearing your voice, Rabbi. I hope that I may gain some kind of better understanding as I rediscover my faith.

---------I suppose that depends on what you mean by “flawed”. Because many would consider God’s being both loving and compassionate towards others as vulnerabilities and flaws. Entering into a loving relationship with someone else comes with very real risks. They might turn on you and reject you at any time. You might show compassion, and someone might take advantage of you for doing that. But, the alternative is for God to become a cold, heartless robot to shut out any perceivable vulnerabilities.
a complete nonsense what he said. God needs us? He needs us for what? To lift his throne? To shine his crown? To pull his kingdom carriage? Does this mean when the humanity doesn't exist anymore God will cease to exist? he imagines a God similar to Steve Jobs, he created his mac computer because he needs it, doesn't make any sense just like the Christian concept three in one, go and try to make a sense of it.
If God loves us this means he is vulnerable, imagine a vulnerable God? vulnerability is the quality of being easily hurt or attacked. for how long the humanity has bee hostile and transgressed since the existence of the earth. God has a lot of patience and he doesn't get hurt easily otherwise he would have buried alive George Bush, Tony Blair and their clan when they went caused destruction and death in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Lybia...etc
Again, this Rabbi is comparing the love of God toward his creation, to the love of humans toward others or objects they create or already created by God,
God is self-sufficient, all-knowing, all-hearing and all-powerful therefore he doesn't need us, we need him badly especially these horrible times we live in where the wrong became right and the right became wrong.
God loves the one who loves him, he loves the one who wants to sincerely connect with him, who doesn't associate any partner with him, who doesn't abuse his other creation. God loves the one who struggles to perfect his character, the one who serves other creation of god. God knows humanity he created like the back of his hand[metaphorically], he knows who is the sincere and who is the insincere so he won't get shocked when the insincere turns his back on God.
I agree. I love the Rabbi's teachings but agree. If you haven't, you should read (or watch) Michael S. Heiser.
God is beyond infinite and can do anything but lie; He had to break himself into an uncountable infinity just to make the universe. Where do you think the matter came from? But he's a greater quantity of infinite so he can be both broken and whole at once.
I agree 100% with you. Nobody's perfect, only God is perfect in every way possible. Some Rabbi's know so much detail that they miss the big picture. God will never be flawed. Amen
I absolutely adore Rabbi Friedman. I love the way his mind works. I love the Jewish people as they are God's chosen, and I stand in judgment of no person. However, as a Christian I must say that it doesn't seem to me like the good Rabbi understands Christianity very well. God put on mortality and allowed a piece of himself to me tortured and killed for us. How much more can he do to show how much he loves us? It is not his wish that even one person be lost but he loves us so much that he will not come between us and the gift of freewill he gave us. I will still watch and listen to Rabbi Friedman and I still respect him.

Abraham Wasn't a jew.
@@bretave7379 the Bible doesn't hide the fact that Abraham came from the city of Ur of the Chaldeans. He was Chaldean. The problem is that he had two sons. Isaac and Ishmael. Isaac stayed in what is today modern day Israel and was given that land as his inheritance. Ishmael became the father of the modern Arab-speaking peoples and was given the land to the East of Canaan. This was the understanding among Jewish people for thousands of years until the invention of the Quran. In the Quran, the account of that settlement was changed to say that God and Abraham gave Canaan to Ishmael. Which do you believe? The true account or the Quran which came 600yrs after the new testament and contradicts everything in the Bible while also claiming it is a better explanation of the Bible (Surah 10v.37)?

Perhaps you would like to listen to Tovia Singer. Christians feel sorry for Jews because they are not Pagan Idolatrous Roman Trinitarians. And Jews feel sorry for Christians because they don't know that they can have a direct relationship with HaShem and miss out on the Truth and Beauty of the HONEST Hebrew TNK and Judaism.
Try a debate with Rabbi Tovia Singer. If YOU had to "witness" to a Freemason Mormon, would you REALLY make the sacrifice to read their "Mormon Bible" in order to know their Unholy texts in order to get them "saved"? (Why bother arguing with a False Religion that you know is BOGUS?) Rabbi Singer made the sacrifice and extra effort to become knowledgeable on an Unholy text (didn't come from HaShem) in order to strongly defend Judaism and explain how Paulinian Christianity ripped it off, CRIMINALLY.
Yup

It really came down to this how can I be thankful for the blessings I have if I wasn't willing to take the shame of my sins my sins and my sorrows and my tears are all mine I earned those my bliss and my blessings are granted to me and I earned those why would I give up that to another man just to have a peace of mind that I have placed with God if I worship him I never bought that and it never sounded right to me
If you love someone, set them free. Love is not obsession or attachment.

@merrylynnallison6922 today I saw a person sleeping near the door to the Presbyterian church that's closed now, I gave him a bottle of water with mineral salt in it, a hot chocolate and bag of cocoa and bottle of milk and also directions to 2 nearby Baptist churches that I knew have homeless services and can offer volunteer work to make getting a pension easier, this was just before I attended church, I just like the family aspect of churches and seeing the kids playing and having fun, giving kids a basket of flowers and a little treat is always rewarding just to see that little smile on their faces, if I saw anyone hurt a child I don't know what i would do, probably fly into a rage, if a paedophile came near me they wouldn't live too long, our job is to protect the little ones
Let’s think about this - the vulnerable G-d, when Moishe lifted the brazen serpent in the wilderness that whosoever would look upon the serpent should live and those that did not perished, this shows the lack of vulnerability that Rabbi is stating G-d has. A vulnerable G-d stated Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated? A vulnerable G-d is inconsistent with the Torah. Rather, G-d wants faith that when it is put into action, it is obedience. A significant other that is not faithful is allowed to be divorced under the Torah, so which spouse is vulnerable, the unfaithful or the faithful? Is not the potter greater than the pottery?
The love between a parent and a child is diffrent than that between a couple.
Any good parent will put themself in harms way to protect their children.
That's what God did.
You just don't want to see things as they are.
I've just discovered Rabbi Friedman and listened to a number of his videos. I'm not Jewish, but the Rabbi's wisdom has helped me deal with life. This video tells me that if you don't believe in God, it's okay. Let God believe in you.
What!? There is one GD. GD is all. Open your ears and mind. Empty old lies. All should be on the path GD gave you.
This video implies that God needs and loves us, and knowing this we know He is vulnerable to our rejection.
You've twisted it a bit, though hopefully "nonbelievers" will come to know G-d. We "know" Him. 'Belief' is for that which we can't explain.
@@batshevaklein9373 you don't have to encrypt the word GOD into GD.

What I find amazing is the person who could not be a Christian because God is not vulnerable because you go to hell when you deny him in Christianity, is that not the same in Judaism? Isn't that exactly what happened when Moses came down from the mountain and found the golden calf. Isn't that what happened when God sent the plagues to hurt the Egyptians who were also God's children?

Yehovah Elohym dose not say I am sending you to hell because you don't love me, but He says Hell is for the devil who rebelled against me, and for the devilish people, who like the devil, rebelled against me. A good analogy is this: A man who is a judge, loves his son. He says to his son, "I love you son, and whatever you do, do not go and shoot any inocent people for money." The son leaves the house and say to himself, "I don't have to listen to my father, I will do whatever I want to do." So the son of that judge rebels agains his father, goes to a bank, robs the bank and kills 3 bank tellers. He gets caught and stands before the judge, who just happens to be his father. His father tells him, "I love you son, but I have to execute Judgement upon you, or I wouldn't be a just Judge." "Though I love you, I must sentence you to death." The same was true with Adam and Eve. Though their Heavenly Father, Yehovah Elohym loved them, they listened to the devil and REBELLED against him like the devil, and became devilish, by stealing the fig from the tree and eating it, after their Heaven Father, who loved them told them not to. And when the Almighty Creator punished them, He did not punish them because they said, "We don't love you," but he punished them because they disobeyed him and REBELLED against him just like the devil.
I appreciate the honourable Rabbi's insights. However when he mentions vulnerability it makes me wonder, What is more emblematic of vulnerability than enduring torture, humiliation, and crucifixion, all while fervently praying for the salvation of those responsible to your very last breath?
רבנים יקרים,
אני מקווה שהמכתב הזה ימצא אותך בבריאות טובה, ואני מתפלל שאלוהי אברהם, יצחק ויעקב וחכמה יהיו על לבבך. אני כותב לך בלב מלא אהבה ויראת כבוד עמוקה לעם היהודי. בתור חסיד של ישוע המשיח, אני רוצה לחלוק איתך מידע משמעותי מהברית הישנה שמוביל לגאולה ולהתגלותו של ישוע כמשיח. גילויים אלו נחשפים כעת על ידי חלומות לעם היהודי בכללותו.
הברית הישנה, עם השטיח העשיר של חזיונות אלוהיים, מספקת תובנות עמוקות לגבי תוכנית הישועה של אלוהים. נבואות אלו, שנמסרו במשך דורות, משמשות עדות להתאמה המדהימה בין כתבי הקודש היהודיים לחייו של ישוע.
נבואה: ישעיהו ז' 14 "על כן ה' בכבודו ובעצמו יתן לכם אות: הנה הבתולה הרה ותלד בן ותקרא את שמו עמנואל". הגשמה: מתי א' 22-23 "וכך נעשה כל זה למען יתקיים אשר נאמר על ידי ה' באמצעות הנביא לאמר: 'הנה הבתולה הרה וילדה בן ויקראו'. שמו עמנואל', שמתורגם ל'אלוהים איתנו'".
נבואה: מיכה ה:2 "אבל אתה, בית לחם אפרתה, אף על פי שאתה קטן בין אלפי יהודה, אך ממך ייצא אלי המושל בישראל אשר יציאתו מימי קדם ומעולם. ." הגשמה: מתי ב' 1-2 "ועכשיו אחרי שישוע נולד בבית לחם יהודה בימי הורדוס המלך, הנה, חכמים מהמזרח באו לירושלים, ואמרו, 'היכן הוא שנולד מלך הקודש'. יהודים? כי ראינו את כוכבו במזרח ובאנו לעבוד אותו'".
נבואה: ישעיהו 53:5 "אבל על פשעינו הוא נפצע, על עוונותינו הוא נפגע; ייסור לשלום שלנו היה עליו, ובפסיו נרפאנו". הגשמה: פטרוס א' 2:24 "אשר נשא בעצמו את חטאינו בגופו על העץ, כדי שאנו, לאחר שמתנו מהחטאים, נחיה למען הצדק - אשר בפסים שלו נרפאת."
נבואה: ישעיהו ט:6 "כי ילד נולד לנו, בן ניתן לנו, והממשלה תהיה על כתפו. ושמו ייקרא נפלא, יועץ, אלוהים אדירים, אב נצח, נסיך השלום. ." הגשמה: לוקס ב':11 "כי נולד לכם היום בעיר דוד מושיע שהוא המשיח ה'".
נבואות אלו, בין רבות אחרות, מדגישות את ההתאמה המדהימה בין הברית הישנה לחייו של ישוע. אנו מוצאים בו את התגשמות הבטחותיו של אלוהים ואת הגשר המאחד את האמונה היהודית עם תקווה לישועה לכל האנושות.
בזמן שאתה חושב על הנבואות האלה, אני ממליץ לך לחקור את הקשר בין הברית הישנה והחדשה, תוך הכרה בישוע כמשיח המיוחל. יהי רצון שאלוהים של אברהם, יצחק ויעקב יגלה לך את האמת הזו לגבי המשיח המיוחל.
בברכה, יעקב

@@avalerie4467 What I mean is stuff like this. Moses saw God. Exodus 33:18 Moses said: "Show me, now, Your glory!" 19He said: "I will let all My goodness pass before you; I will proclaim the name of the Lord before you, and I will favor when I wish to favor, and I will have compassion when I wish to have compassion." 20And He said, "You will not be able to see My face, for man shall not see Me and live." 21And the Lord said: "Behold, there is a place with Me, and you shall stand on the rock. 22And it shall be that when My glory passes by, I will place you into the cleft of the rock, and I will cover you with My hand until I have passed by. 23Then I will remove My hand, and you will see My back but My face shall not be seen." And Abraham saw and talked with God. Genesis 18:1-15 " 13And the Lord said to Abraham, "Why did Sarah laugh, saying, 'Is it really true that I will give birth, although I am old?'14Is anything hidden from the Lord? At the appointed time, I will return to you, at this time next year and Sarah will have a son."17And the Lord said, "Shall I conceal from Abraham what I am doing?19For I have known him because he commands his sons and his household after him, that they should keep the way of the Lord to perform righteousness and justice, in order that the Lord bring upon Abraham that which He spoke concerning him."20And the Lord said, "Since the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah has become great, and since their sin has become very grave,26And the Lord said, "If I find in Sodom fifty righteous men within the city, I will forgive the entire place for their sake."32And he said, "Please, let the Lord's wrath not be kindled, and I will speak yet this time, perhaps ten will be found there." And He said, "I will not destroy for the sake of the ten."33And the Lord departed when He finished speaking to Abraham, and Abraham returned to his place.” The tanakh is clear, so why isn't it understood as written. Nothing makes sense.
Rabbi, please forgive me. I am a Christian Orthodox from America and I am truly enjoying and learning from your videos. However, if it's at all possible, when you mention a Yiddish word, would you follow it up with the translation in English? It would be very helpful. May GOD continue to bless all that you do.

Are You a personal christian or do you by orthodox christian mean that you belong to a national group that are refered to as orthodox?
@@svenerikjohansson8130 A Orthodox Christian religion.
Please be sure to read the New Testament, unlike Rb. Friedman, so that you can identify all of his errors such as the ideas that God needs humans, that the Trinity are multiple rather than One God in 3 Persons, and that God callously feels no pain nor shows any vulnerability when humans reject him. ~C
@@Jesus2di4U I also felt that the description given of my christian faith was not fully fair. I didn´t recognize what he described as my faith at all.
what about the story of the prodigal son and what about the verse that the heaven rejoices by one sinner repenting than 99 who don't need repentance. God loves us but he is also just to judge us at the end
Whatever you believe, it's good to do good.
Adolf and Mao believed they are doing good too.
Retired=tired again. It's not a choice. It's like R&R. You rest or you fail to function well. I'm 80 and still trying to retire but there's too much wrong out there. Love your messages!

I’m sorry, but I don’t know anything more vulnerable than giving your son as a sacrifice, to be beaten beyond recognition, nailed to a cross and left to die. All the while having insults are thrown at you and soldiers gambling for your clothing. If that’s not vulnerable, then you explain to me what is. I think this friend you speak of, is a figment of your wild imagination and maybe you should take the time to understand Christianity before spouting lies from within the walls of your echo chamber
God is the ultimate servant, because he gives this life and its graces freely. What he asks in returns doesn't benefit him, but us. That is the ultimate proof that he cares and is vulnerable as his needs are for the benefit of us. As a Christian I know why he needs us to do these things - for our personal salvation.
The love is the same love as a father to his children.
Judaism: The Massiah has not come yet
Christianity: The Massiah has come and will come again.
The core beliefs are diametrically opposed, that is why jews don't believe in Christianity.
He is coming back to JUDGE the earth at the END of the Age
Is He coming back because He needs us or do e Need Him to come back❤
@@dawnheer6831 We need Him to put an end of evilness and sin. We need Him to live in peace and enjoy the truly life, to restore the earth and all creation.
@@sefaeugene2146 Wrong! He never came in the first place.
@@jessedylan6162How do you know? What if He came and you weren’t around on earth at that time?
It's sad that people know about God and they call themselves Christians but have not encounter the true God who wants intimacy with us 😢
God doesn't need you, its you who needs him.
Why do people feel the need to have a label, or be identified as something? Why claim a Religion? Why can't you just believe what you believe? That's why God gave us free will. As long as you're not worshipping the Devil I don't think God cares what religion you are. Very interesting topics on this channel and I love reading the comments. God Bless you all.
I respect your opinion and I am a subscriber but God doesn't send anyone who rejects Him to hell. I disagree with you here and he had to send someone to take the sins because he is just and does not want to kill , wages of sin are death.
Why would God punish an innocent person for the sins of the guilty?
The whole God came down and inhabited a man brings up another question. Why would God commit suicide?
And why would God have to give up an innocent man for the sins of the guilty so Michael when God tells you himself all you have to do is ask and repent? In about the wages of sin being that that comes off a Matthew or Luka one of them other fake stories.
Who you going to believe the Tanakh or a Roman god?
💯
God's love for us must not be misinterpreted as His vulnerability.
I love my children very much and I always want them to be safe and successful. Most of the times they do not want to do things that will make them good persons in their lives because they don't understand the life since they haven't experienced it. So, I had to tell them things with good degree of sternness. All because of my profound love for them.
God also loves us and want us to LIVE.
You're not vulnerable with those you 'love'? That's sad.
I can’t think of a more loving and yes vulnerable thing than God coming down in human form and giving his life for us to have it.
"I wasn't shattered, i was torn apart"
With all due respect and humility, make I ask what he meant by the vulnerability of God’s love for us and what did you meant by that vulnerability is missing in Christianity?
Its because they call us goyim, after reading the talmud you see alot of the beliefs.

He doesn't even understand his own Bible. The old Testament speaks of 2 different gods, the Creator and the god of this world. He follows the god of this world. Why do you think the jews own everything? They're given over to the god of this world.
I do not comment, but sir reading your comment truly wants to make me cry. I love you deeply, may God continue to pour His love into you.
I seem to remember reading somewhere that he was going wipe everyone out for their idolatrous, ungrateful, entitled ways except Moses interceded on their behalf and also maybe somewhere else about a flood cause he'd had it with a corrupt world, that's not a threat trying to intimidate someone you can't do without, that's getting rid of something you don't need. Make no mistake he doesn't need us, only by his grace do we live and move and have our being. He cares about his Son, know that that's what it's all about to him. So I would get of the high horse of entitlement and show some respect.
Good day sir
How much more love than dying crucified.

@@jessedylan6162 What is greater love than dying for those you love?
Zechariah 12:10
Mourning for the One They Pierced
10 “And I will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and supplication. They will look on me, the one they have pierced, and they will mourn for him as one mourns for an only child, and grieve bitterly for him as one grieves for a firstborn son.
Isaiah 53
53 Who has believed our message
and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?
2 He grew up before him like a tender shoot,
and like a root out of dry ground.
He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him,
nothing in his appearance that we should desire him.
3 He was despised and rejected by mankind,
a man of suffering, and familiar with pain.
Like one from whom people hide their faces
he was despised, and we held him in low esteem.
4 Surely he took up our pain
and bore our suffering,
yet we considered him punished by God,
stricken by him, and afflicted.
5 But he was pierced for our transgressions,
he was crushed for our iniquities;
the punishment that brought us peace was on him,
and by his wounds we are healed.
6 We all, like sheep, have gone astray,
each of us has turned to our own way;
and the Lord has laid on him
the iniquity of us all.
7 He was oppressed and afflicted,
yet he did not open his mouth;
he was led like a lamb to the slaughter,
and as a sheep before its shearers is silent,
so he did not open his mouth.
8 By oppression and judgment he was taken away.
Yet who of his generation protested?
For he was cut off from the land of the living;
for the transgression of my people he was punished.
9 He was assigned a grave with the wicked,
and with the rich in his death,
though he had done no violence,
nor was any deceit in his mouth.
10 Yet it was the Lord’s will to crush him and cause him to suffer,
and though the Lord makes his life an offering for sin,
he will see his offspring and prolong his days,
and the will of the Lord will prosper in his hand.
11 After he has suffered,
he will see the light of life and be satisfied;
by his knowledge my righteous servant will justify many,
and he will bear their iniquities.
12 Therefore I will give him a portion among the great,
and he will divide the spoils with the strong,
because he poured out his life unto death,
and was numbered with the transgressors.
For he bore the sin of many,
and made intercession for the transgressors.
No man but one man did and He is the one who saved me and covered me with his precious blood so that I and many like me could be make perfect and spotless in my Father's eyes.
He was not killed by the Romans but Jews.
How could God make himself any more vulnerable than coming to earth as an infant? And offering himself up as a sacrifice for our sins?
Amen 🙏
Ugh. Distorted logic.
Amen
@@dominionphilosophy3698 besides Isaiah 53 predicted that this will happen (which is in tanah that is old testament)
@@HaedonPL The old Isaiah 53 defense! Instead of cherry-picking a few verses in Isaiah 53, start reading Isaiah from chapter 42 through 54. You will see how ridiculous you sound. Repeatedly, it states that Israel and Judah is Gd's (suffering) servant, His son, His child.

I have a question for the Jewish people. I was born into a catholic family. I was baptized and confirmed but never knew God. I recently have had a softening of my heart after pleading with God for help. What brought me to that point was listening to Dennis Prager talk about exodus and go through the story. Everything made sense. God gave us the outline for a great life. A fulfilled life through the Commandments. If everyone would follow them the world would be paradise.
So my question is : As a non Jew how do I honor God? Would I be welcome in a Synagogue? How can someone like me worship properly. I’m very scared that I’m going to do something wrong and lose my connection with God. Any help or advice would be very appreciated.
Judaism is for israelite people only. You are not connected with god - by the terms of judaism- unless your mother is a jew.
As a non-jewish person you are created to serve jews only, this is what judaism teach i. E :Heavean and glory and happiness is for jews in here and afterlife. You and your family and people are for them another animals that god created to work for the comfort and happiness of israelites...
This old man bielive in this and will never admit this...
Hello, as a non-jew you are considered a goy, there are many righteous goys. Goy just means non-jew. To honor G-d one simply needs to have responsibility, this is where the commandments come in. As a non-Jew you really are only responsible for the Noahide laws, "Noah" was a righteous non-Jew. But if you feel like you can handle more responsibility towards G-d you could attend the temples but do make sure you either email or call them first to see if you can attend because of how Jews are discriminated they have to be careful to prevent hateful acts towards them.
