- We invite you to join us for Conversations with Jewish Believers In Jesus hosted by Jeff Morgan. In this episode, Jeff talks with Ruth Rosen about why it’s so difficult for many to follow the God of the Bible.
As the daughter of Jews for Jesus founder Moishe Rosen, Ruth Rosen was raised with an appreciation for both her Jewish heritage and her faith in Jesus. She received a degree in biblical studies from Biola College in Southern California. Today, Ruth is a staff writer and editor with Jews for Jesus and, as such, has helped many other Jewish believers in Jesus tell their stories. That includes writing her father’s biography, Called to Controversy, which she says was “one of the most challenging and rewarding experiences of my life.” To purchase a copy, simply visit: www.jplbooks.com/products/cal...

I have noticed that the Spirit of God brings in an appetite for the deeper things of God. It's amazing ❤️
No one is without sin. So..... we all need God and our savior Jesus Christ!
N to the Mth
For in him we live, and move, and have our being. 🙏🏻
The more you read the Bible, the more you learn God's heart 🙏
God loves you more than you know and if you want to get to know Him more, then get into His Word ❤️
You couldn't be more right!
@@semi2893 . have ihuhuuuuuu the same bhbbuuuyhuuuuu
@nixiuvsjesus, Very well said.
i was obsessed with Jews for Jesus in my twenties. I felt a connection because I was really beginning to know who I was in Christ. I worked in the Jewish Community as an Architect and it was a joy. Then I came across JFJ in my studies. It met a need for me as a gentile to relate to the community. I still have the Book that Moshe wrote and ordered broadside etc. I am happy to reconnect with RUclips. 😇
The “crutch” comparison is brilliant!! Thank you for this edifying, wonderful interview!
God is LOVE!
God is who He is and I love Him with all my heart. ❤✝️🙏
@newcreationincheist1423 You say you love God but if you do, you will do the only thing he asks of us, that we place our faith in his Son, Jesus Christ, our Saviour and Redeemer! He kept the Law perfectly and then willingly became the perfect Passover Lamb sacrifice for the sins of the world, so that when we by faith are placed “in him,” we are also counted as righteous as he is. There is no other salvation under heaven than in Jesus Christ our Lord.
@@dfkuz oh yes, I believe in Jesus 🙂🙏
@@newcreationinchrist1423 It’s not enough to believe as the scriptures say that demons believe and tremble, right? I have a friend who is a Seventh-Day Adventist who admits that he believes in Jesus but he does not trust him for his salvation. He believes that some of his salvation is up to him to earn with a variety of obedience and doing good works; and even that does not give him the peace that God wants us to have, knowing that Jesus has done it all for us so that all we have to do is want it credited to our account by placing our faith in him. I say all this because I want as many people as possible to come to the knowledge of the truth and be saved into the kingdom of God’s dear Son (Colossians 1:13 KJV)! ❤️
Great talk and insights, thanks for sharing. I love how the Messianic believers talk. You have such great understanding and fresh ways of communicating. Can't wait for the 144k Jewish believers to be unleashed on the world. It is going to be wonderful.
PEACE IN CHRIST! 🕎✝️🕊🔥
Amen...
At the core of it all we are in a broken world and we live in broken bodies but our maker has made us in his image, because of that everyone has an element of faith built into them, we were made to be loved and love our maker for his glory. The only way to have that is to surrender to him and his plan. His son is the bridge, the way out of our brokenness. The blood atonement of Jesus the Messiah, God's rescue plan for a broken world and broken people. His love and mercy draws us to him. 🕊️🌾📖 Thank you Lord Jesus the Christ for saving us from from ourselves.
I absolutely loved this...
Without a Transcendental and objective Truth we all succumb to the flesh (chaos)
17 Now as He was going out on the road, one came running, knelt before Him, and asked Him, “Good Teacher, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?”
18 So Jesus said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good but One, that is, God. 19 You know the commandments: ‘Do not commit adultery,’ ‘Do not murder,’ ‘Do not steal,’ ‘Do not bear false witness,’ ‘Do not defraud,’ ‘Honor your father and your mother.’ ”
20 And he answered and said to Him, “Teacher, all these things I have kept from my youth.”
21 Then Jesus, looking at him, loved him, and said to him, “One thing you lack: Go your way, sell whatever you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, take up the cross, and follow Me.”
22 But he was sad at this word, and went away sorrowful, for he had great possessions
Mark: 10:17-20
No one is good but God
To me God is no crutch.. As he takes our daily burdens away. Just treat your neighbor as yourself. Help those in need. Then worship him in spirit and truth..The truth part is be honest with yourself..In these two you keep all the commandments. Why being Humble is so important..
Eternal life will be Where God is, With Him in total sovereignty and With ever increasing knowledge of His ways IMHO. Do I really want Him with all my heart? Then respond to Him in His Messiah and His written Word now.
Very thought provoking conversation; can’t wait for next
Jesus is peace
Thank you for this interview/ testimony ,I can relate to this and I hate it,,I pray that God would help my unbelief as well ,thank you for sharing
Prayer for God to help our unbelief is right on. I just added my amen to your prayer. He often helps our unbelief through His word and through other believers.
@@ruthrosen1826 ty so much
The scariest responsibility we all have according to God’s word, is to not follow people who seem to know what they are talking about.
I've always struggled with the God of the bible. Certain aspects of it makes me feel like I'm being threatened.
repent and turn to jesus , in order to find peace. life has no meaning apart from him.
You can ask God to help you know what he wants you to know, feel what he wants you to feel and do what he wants you to do. Find a pastor who is willing to discuss the parts of the Bible that cause you to feel threatened. Also remember that of the gospel is true, God wants to extend grace and forgiveness to you through Jesus. If we agree with God about our rebellion against him he will help us turn to him. He wants good things for you!
Of course. According to Christianity, we are all born tainted and require a savior. I think that is absurd and repulsive.
@@wet-readbecause none of us is perfect. Not one is sinless. We lie to ourselves to believe we are sinless.
@@Shawney-jf6kc
Yeah, nobody is perfect. Duh. So what? Christians say that as if it is something deep and profound.
9:35 Im only a good person when im asleep. To be real, we all are angles when we are asleep. Seriously, its once we wake up we back to being bad. 🤣🤣🤣🤯
When you pry on them long enough their true feelings come out and it's typically the righteousness of God. People want to sin. Hardly anyone is pure in heart enough to naturally cling to God like an Abel or Enoch. They also want to feel like they are good.
When the prophet Isaiah had a vision of God he quickly realized he was a sinner and not a good person. Isaiah 6:1-6; 64:6-7.
Proverbs 14:8((G.N.T.))✝️
If god is a crutch Then give me the ambulance, give me the emergency room. Give me the whole hospital. Thank you yes Yeshua
Elohim from Genesis 1 is God of the Bible.
Yahweh Elohim from Genesis 2 is the false God of the Bible.
The main theme of the Bible is knowing Good from Evil.
Theology comes from combining two Greek words: theos, meaning God, and logos, meaning word or rational thought.
[The Word is Elohim from Genesis 1]
(not to be confused with Yahweh Elohim from Genesis 2)
Compare John 1: 1-5 with Genesis 1: 1-5:
John 1: 1-5
Names of God Bible
The Word Becomes Human
1 In the beginning the Word already existed. The Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was already with God in the beginning.
3 Everything came into existence through him. Not one thing that exists was made without him.
4 He was the source of life, and that life was the light for humanity.
5 The light shines in the dark, and the dark has never extinguished it.
Genesis 1: 1-5
Names of God Bible
The Creation
1 In the beginning Elohim created heaven and earth.
2 The earth was formless and empty, and darkness covered the deep water. The Ruach Elohim was hovering over the water.
3 Then Elohim said, “Let there be light!” So there was light. 4 Elohim saw the light was good. So Elohim separated the light from the darkness. 5 Elohim named the light day, and the darkness he named night. There was evening, then morning-the first day.
[Yahweh Elohim "the LORD God", adopted character from Genesis 2, accepts a child sacrifice]:
(not to be confused with Elohim "God" or Ruach Elohim "Spirit of God" from Genesis 1)
Judges 11

Jephthah’s Vow
29 Then the Ruach Yahweh came over Jephthah. Jephthah went through Gilead, Manasseh, and Mizpah in Gilead to gather an army. From Mizpah in Gilead Jephthah went to attack Ammon.
30 Jephthah made a vow to Yahweh. He said, “If you will really hand Ammon over to me, 31 then whatever comes out of the doors of my house to meet me when I return safely from Ammon will belong to Yahweh. I will sacrifice it as a burnt offering.”
32 So Jephthah went to fight against Ammon. Yahweh handed the people of Ammon over to him. 33 He defeated them from Aroer to Minnith and on to Abel Keramim, 20 cities in all. It was a decisive defeat. So the Ammonites were crushed by the people of Israel.
34 When Jephthah went to his home in Mizpah, he saw his daughter coming out to meet him. She was dancing with tambourines in her hands. She was his only child. Jephthah had no other sons or daughters. 35 When he saw her, he tore his clothes in grief and said, “Oh no, Daughter! You’ve brought me to my knees! What disaster you’ve brought me! I made a foolish promise to Yahweh. Now I can’t break it.”
36 She said to him, “Father, you made a promise to Yahweh. Do to me whatever you promised since Yahweh has punished your enemy Ammon.” 37 Then she said to her father, “Do me a favor. Give me two months for my friends and me to walk in the mountains and mourn that I will never have an opportunity to get married.”
38 “Go!” he said, and he sent her off for two months. She and her friends went to the mountains, and she cried about never being able to get married. 39 At the end of those two months she came back to her father. He did to her what he had vowed, and she never had a husband. So the custom began in Israel 40 that for four days every year the girls in Israel would go out to sing the praises of the daughter of Jephthah, the man from Gilead.
God never wrote the bible so people are caution people are to judging on what we think god will change us if we belive in him amen
The Bible can be confusing unless you’re aware of the fact that Israel lost her last chance of receiving a kingdom of her own in Acts 28:28-31 KJV and at that point everyone on earth not already saved became a pagan, “Jews” included! God did away with all prior gospels of salvation and introduced a gospel with no works or law keeping at all as his gift to the world - Ephesians 2:8&9 KJV - with forgiveness of sin (Ephesians 1:7) and eternal security (Ephesians 4:30 KJV). We have become “the faithful in Christ Jesus” of Ephesians 1:1 KJV. The believing Jews and Greeks of the first century were allowed to die off the scene, and their signs and miracles along with them. Miracles and signs had been given to Israel so they might recognize their Messiah but not enough of them did so it’s over! I think of it as the end of that world and the beginning of the world we’re living in now. The old world was according to prophecy; this world is according to the mystery (Ephesians 3:9 KJV)! There is no indication in the scriptures written after Acts 28 that the former world will ever return. The new world takes us right up to and through Christ’s return (Colossians 3:4 KJV) and the establishment of the kingdom on earth (Colossians 1:13 KJV) - notice the new name? Not Israel’s kingdom, but the “kingdom of his [God’s] dear Son”! I believe that no one who belongs to the Father and/or the Son will be left out of that eternal kingdom of the entire earth restored to Eden-like glory!
It’s going to be great but in order to get there, we that believe today must acknowledge the free gift aspect of our gospel and avoid adding any qualifiers or conditions to that gift, such as thinking those calling themselves “Jews” today have special privileged status with God or that by obeying Jewish laws and observing rituals you will be considered special by God when in fact you will be stirring up the bad memories of his rejection by the ex-wife to whom he sent his only begotten Son to propose a re-marriage to her! No one is more special to God than any other person today; we are all on even ground! 🤗
What you say can also be applied to much of today's church.
While it is true that Israel blew it, do did much of the church.
Look at us now!
God has by no means forsaken His first wife. Hosea taught os that *there will be a happy ending* .
Lo-Ammi will be Ammi, and Lo-Ruchamah will be Ruchamah.
Jacob had many children with Leah, but then he also had Yosef and Benyamin.
God will indeed accomplish *all* that He set out to do, and the culmination of His plans will be amazing!
Can someone explain to me the references to Gods wife ? Or his ex wife or his first wife?
@@ronnie-lynn I know, it gets all confusing, doesn't it?
@@ronnie-lynn Really, God has only One Bride. And on the one hand, you can say that the Church (not the various institutions, but all who belong to Him) is the 'Bride of Christ'. Both Jews and Gentiles are part of the church, which is also the *body* of Christ.
We can also say that 'spiritual Israel' is the Bride, or Wife, in that all who believe in Jesus are grafted into the 'tree' that is spiritual Israel. And so, both born again Jews and born again Gentiles are joined together in Christ.
The Vine, the Olive tree, the Bride, the Body of Christ, the Adoption as Sons: These are all *allegories* , to illustrate our *relationship* with God.
*He wants us close* - to Him, and to each other. And all the Bible drives that key point home, one way or another.
@@ingela_injeela Boy, are you mixed up! The Greeks were Gentiles that were PROPHESIED to appear when they did (Deuteronomy 32:21 KJV) to align with the nation of Israel and when or IF Israel received her kingdom, they would serve them as their willing servants (Isaiah 60). That’s why they were not required to be circumcised; if they were, they’d then be Jews themselves and not inferior enough to serve Israel in the kingdom. Like Cornelius in Acts 10, the Greeks had blessed Israel ($) and thus the Greeks were blessed by Israel’s covenants of promise and they were aligned with the commonwealth of Israel. When Israel (and those Greeks) lost their kingdom hope, then and only then were pagan, lawless, Gentiles like everyone today, made eligible to be saved. These pagans were “strangers from the covenants of promise” and “aliens from the commonwealth of Israel,” (Ephesians 2:8&9 KJV) - Gentiles who were/are the TOTAL OPPOSITE of the Greeks. We’re not graffed into Israel’s olive tree - that’s prophecy! We’re saved and in Christ Jesus (Ephesians 1:1 KJV) according to the mystery - not prophecy!
Because there are NO JEWS in the eyes of God today, everyone is either saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ or not saved. It’s that simple! Break out of your brainwashing people and if you wonder who brainwashed you, “Cui bono?”
Calling out to my Christian brothers and sisters. Please re-evaluate the bible. Especially, the verse Samuel 15:3 where god commanded the killings of children and babies. Samuel 15:3 - “Go and attack the Amalekites! Destroy them and all their possessions. Don't have any pity. Kill their men, women, children, and even their babies.”. Clearly, this is illogical as God is merciful. Don’t let the church and fake preachers deceived you with a tampered scripture.
Logical explanation…we need more Jews for Jesus! Jeff always good guests with in depth intelligent genuine conversation…super relevant to this recovering addict in a lot of what’s said…always believed in God and had dialogue, but didn’t really understand Jesus or wanna live by his rules….now I do more so though a chronic sinner improving slowly….even if NT Bible were nonsense, which it isn’t, living the life Jesus preaches is the way to happiness imo
Because God has his sons and the devil has his sons. Each one has his sons.
