I take issue with this claim. I’m Jewish orthodox I love your work Tovia. Although, how could Paul be gay if in the Christian bible homosexuality is forbidden…
The prohibition against homosexuality is one of the few parts of the law that Paul reaffirms. In fact, the Romans 1 condemnation is so harsh that it arguably would've condemned a gay Paul even if he abstained entirely. Romans 1 seems to imply that even having the attraction is a direct result of a determined rebellion, so it implies one is already quite evil.
Paul claimed to be a Pharisee of the Pharisees. Any such man of his time would have been married. It would have been arranged with/for him by the time he was 18 at the latest.
LISTEN to the words of YOUR MESSIAH you JEWS , John 8 verse 44 : You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies. IF you will not listen to me then listen to one of your own Professor James Tour , look him up and stop blaspheming your Lord
I'm a Muslim and there's no secret about what we consider Paul to be but this is probably the first time I disagreed with the assessment made by the respected Rabbi Singer about things related to Christianity. You are more than likely aware that there is a passage in Romans 1, one of Paul's confirmed letters, where he specifically condemns homosexuality and calls it "unnatural." Even if he was lying here, still it's still a point that can be raised to oppose what was said here in this video and be considered valid. And you know very well this would cause nothing but offense to Christians and it's all unnecessary. Wouldn't the more appropriate argument, supported by Paul's epistles, be that He hates the law because he considered it to be too many to keep track of and so pointless? The truth that has real evidence at hand is more than enough to defeat falsehood. There's no need for speculations.
Quraniyoon - A Community for Allah Alone. Bukhari the Liar Curses to Bukhari the Liar. Bukhari, a man who has helped lead billions astray. Bukhari, a man who said he "saw the Prophet in a dream" that "protected him from lies." Bukhari, who allegedly collected and vetted over 600,000 traditions "accurately" during his 40 years of inviting lies and creating the Hadiths. Bukhari, who disregarded the rule put in place by the Prophet and the Rightly Guided Caliphs banning written Hadiths. Bukhari, who invited lies that contradict Allah's perfect word in the Quran. وَمَنْ أَظْلَمُ مِمَّنِ افْتَرَىٰ عَلَى اللَّهِ كَذِبًا ۚ أُولَٰئِكَ يُعْرَضُونَ عَلَىٰ رَبِّهِمْ وَيَقُولُ الْأَشْهَادُ هَٰؤُلَاءِ الَّذِينَ كَذَبُوا عَلَىٰ رَبِّهِمْ ۚ أَلَا لَعْنَةُ اللَّهِ عَلَى الظَّالِمِينَ - 11:18 And who is more unjust than he who invents a lie about Allah ? Those will be presented before their Lord, and the witnesses will say, "These are the ones who lied against their Lord." Unquestionably, the curse of Allah is upon the wrongdoers. Bukhari, an enemy of Islam. Curses to Bukhari. May Allah judge him harshly upon the Day of Judgement.
Top comment ^ I don't care about offending people with truth. But you are spot on - this was absolute speculation. Pretty sloppy in my view. Romans was an authentic Pauline text, but if we look at others both authentic a pseudepigraphal they do comdemn homosexuality and that is consistent with the real Paul and the fake Paul's.... which btw as an atheist I disagree with. But the point is, in all these things no matter what ones bias is, one should remain objective. The Rabbi might not agree with or dislike Paul and that is fine, I don't like the Mosaic law, but I wouldn't just make stuff up about it with wild speculation.
Paul does not condemn homosexuality in Romans 1, there is a synthesis of the book "Wisdom of Solomon", a book that emphasizes the difference between the "unrighteousness of the Jews" and the sinful nations. The text is put as a contrast, in epideictic (Aristotelian) language precisely so that in chapter 2 Paul will have more power to judge the Jews. So, it is not Paul who condemns homosexuality, but the traditionalist Jews whom Paul now kicks ass to the ground, telling them that "they do the same things" and that "there is no difference between a Jew and a non-Jew" because they are all way.
@@georgecurinii3930 "Wisdom of Solomon" is not a canonical Christian Scripture. So it generally means absolutely nothing to Christians so that it's not even logical to bring into the conversation. The point is that there's no need to give out nearly unfounded speculations that's barely going to have any effect on Christians as they can easily dismiss them especially when there's is a ton of evidence from his confirmed writings that He clearly distorted the meanings of some of the passages from the Old Testament, as we've seen the respected Rabbi point out several times before. These evidences are enough to have more impact on attentive Christian.
A lot of these comments completely miss the point. PAUL TALKED OUT BOTH SIDES OF HIS MOUTH. PAUL WAS A HYPOCRITE. Paul says to a Jew he is a Jew. But to a non Jew, he is a non Jew. Paul is literally a political figure lol, that is exactly what the message is. Paul wants you to follow his cult.... stay away from it.
That’s a false assumption. When Paul states that he is a jew to a jew, and also states that he is not a Jew to a non-jew---this is not hypocrisy. What Paul was saying is that the reality of Christ encompassed all people and that to each people Paul would point out the reality of Christ according to the various backgrounds of different people he had encountered. This is called wisdom and not hypocrisy. This is called being a well-informed teacher. Every great educator adapts his or her presentation to their particular audience! That’s being wise and rational!
Paul was successful because God was in charge of his life and in the matters of his ministry and protected him to bring the gospel until he was finished and also allowed him to suffer for the gospel.
He’s definitely not slandering Paul by calling him gay 😂😂 Paul didn’t obey the law and he worshipped a man god .. which I think is worse then homosexuality …
Keeping the first response aside. The New testament does not condemn homosexuality, it has no issues with it. You can bring up any verses that you want, the New testament does not condemn or prohibit homosexuality.

This was a VERY interesting take, I’ve studied the Christian claims for years, especially from a Jewish perspective. I couldn’t understand what was the “straw that broke the camel’s back” with Paul? This take is very interesting and makes sense, it could have been possible he was wrestling with those urges.

@matpieterse3287 your reply is a little too deep for me. Is that your ethnicity, and you are saying that because you have strayed away? Or do you mean something totally different? Again, I'm just curious.
This was always my take on Paul, that he loved men at a time when it was dangerous to do so, or had some sort of impotence or deformity. While not equal, they all point to some condition that precluded an intimate hetero relationship.
I was in Christianity for almost 30 years and the Baptist Churches I went to always used Paul's teachings. I didn't like him then and I still don't like him now but the one thing I noticed is he hated women!! I once had a fleeting thought could that mean that he liked men?? Of course I didn't mention that to the pastures or anybody else because though I was bold and ask a lot of questions if I had to ask that they would have banned me for life!

I understand people were ignorant back in the ancient days, but they are just as ignorant now. Paul spoke out of both sides of his mouth and is still getting away with it 2000 years later. He was a liar, thief, and hypocrite and 99.9 percent of Christians are blind to it. Blessings and shalom Rabbi!
My mother used to say this to me when I was younger, that Paul was gay because what else was that thorn in his side that he could never remove. Thank you Rabbi Tovia for giving more wisdom and research into this! Edit:spelling

What does it matter if Rabbi Paul was an LGBT or not? Jewish religion tolerates all people, and as a matter of fact, two New Jersey Rabbis walked the aisle, and they honeymooned in HI.
Tolerance of is a very different thing than a judicial regulation and ruling. The law clearly says LGTQ+ are MoWTh "mooth" - soul dead and emotionally in pain. The true meaning of "stone them to death " , it's not talking about physical execution The NT clearly says that they are dead , Romans 1 and cannot enter "the kingdom of heaven". It's one thing to be kind and tolerant but that in no way alters the final judgement of the King on this matter. "...'eTh-Ha'iShaH W''eTh-HaB-HeMaH MoWTh YuWMaThuW D-MeYHeM BaM : WaYiQ'Ra Kaf: Yod, Zayin "Leviticus 20:17" Christian Bible & verse 13 (Yod, Gimel) in the Jewish Bible. Gimel = Connect. It's a soul ending sin but that doesn't Romans 1:27 > vs 32. Revelation 21:8. 22:15. Tolerance of, letting people live their lives, minding your own business in personal matters doesn't alter the final ruling and judgement.
Paul was not Gay but a Godly man by the grace of God and would suffer for The gospels sake and Was caught up to the third heaven in a mysterious way .We see a man who was greatly afflicted for Jesus sake and today we still see the same and attacking him is attacking the God of Abraham since Paul is a ambassador of God
The scriptures say a bishop must be the husband of a wife, also elders, and decons as representative of the church or doctrine of the church. Paul profiles are not in line but the churches use his direction and reject Peter's testimony, who Jesus gave the key to open, and no man shuts and loses on earth what will be lose in heaven
This doesn't make much sense, given the content of Paul's letters. He may have objected to the law as such, but the prohibition against homosexuality was one of the very few parts of the law that he reaffirmed. He condemns it more than once. Heck, he condemns it in a way that even an abstaining homosexual never would. Even if a gay person considered it wrong and steadfastly refused to act on it, it is still highly doubtful they would have condemned in the manner of Romans 1, because this passage has a very strong accusation explaining how Paul thinks people become gay to begin with. That the reason they even have the attraction is a result of determined rebellion against God. If Paul was gay, he wouldn't have been able to escape his own accusation even by abstaining entirely.
Someone being rabidly anti-gay and then having it be discovered later that they were actually hiding their own homosexuality is so common as to be cliche.
@Kaddywompous Sure, but there are more typical ways this cliche manifests. The closeted gay anti-gay would more typically be finding and reacting to imaginary closet cases under every rock and branch. It's a matter of trying to redirect hostility away from themselves by appearing to take charge of it. Such people would appear quite sensitive to secret homosexuality, because they're actually reacting with hostility to things they find attractive or titillating. They notice a reaction in themselves and then cover it up with hostility. What Paul does, on the other hand, is *_add fuel_* to others' hostility. He invents new reasons to hate gay people. For a closet case to do this would simply be increasing the risk to himself. If Paul were gay, I'm guessing even his unconscious would've thought been uncomfortable with this. This seems more the behavior of someone who has depersonalized his target, so he doesn't feel or experience the actual impact of his venomous accusations. Gay people, for Paul, are alien monsters that he's completely unable to relate to.
All I want in life is to be able to remember verses like he can. It amazes me how Tovia is able to just spit bible verses out like it’s the alphabet. The amount of knowledge this man has is amazing.
The thief on the cross probably did not know many bible verses if any but Jesus saved him at a appointed time where he was the thief's righteousness so that he was perfect in the law.God has to do the work so we are saved and can learn truth so it is in our hearts that God gives those he loves and Satan comes as a angel of light to deceive and remembering verses does not mean you are saved since Jesus told many who thought they knew him to depart.

The insistence that Paul was a homosexual tells us more about the homophobia of the person who holds that view than it does about Paul. They say it because they know other people are homophobic and would be disgusted, shocked, scandalized, and humiliated. Keep in mind that if Paul was a homosexual, his guilt came about as the result of homophobia - religious or otherwise.
I don't thinks Tovia was saying that with judgement about his being gay. Simply that if he was, it would explain some things. Paul was brilliant, and showed a lot of courage and leadership, so we have to commend him for that. But regarding Paul's sexuality, I've often gotten the same impression.

💐💐💐💐There is absolutely no difference in the inner essence and in the inner meaning between Paul’s statement in Romans 10:6-8 and Deuteronomy 30:11-14. Put them side by side on your computer screen and read both of them and ask yourself whether there are any differences found in the inner essence of the meaning between those two verse. There is none! The inner essential objective in both verses is one and the same. I do not see why is there so much complaining about Paul. The last part of the verse which you are complaining about Paul omitting it which says: “so you can do it”, why be so bitter about this. Paul did not quote whole thing about “the word”, “so you can do it”, because to Paul or to any clear-headed person it is obvious that the word of God is already assumed and is meant to be taken into action, hence, “so you can do it”. So why would Paul want to add the last part of the verse when it’s fully clear that it is not just reading the word but acting on the word which is automatically assumed by Paul. Two thousand years ago no one of a humble birth and social status had extra money or time or resources to waste over few words that are already assumed in the verse. Taking out few words here and there which does not change anything in the original verse does not mean that Paul was on purpose trying to cut out different parts of various verses from Tanakh. God forbid!

Rabbi I have no skin in this game, I'm not a Christian. Though this seems like a *massive* leap. Most scholars I understand see Paul and Jesus as Jewish Apocalypticisists. If you held the world view that Jesus was coming back any day and we are living in the end times which the authentic Pauline letters do - then it kinda makes sense to stay celibate. Paul mainly condemns homosexuality in great detail in his authentic writings. Surely, it is more likely he would put it in the realms of pork and the like. I understand this is just conjecture but thus has to be taken with a grain of salt.

🙏🏻🙏🏻💐💐I am a member of the Baha’i Faith and not a Christian, but what you are considering as “preponderance of evidence” is nothing but conjectures. You even have admitted that in your original post about Rabbi Tovia conjecturing. The fact is that Conjecture ≠ evidence. If we take your conjecture to be evidence then we have far better and more real evidences to conclude that King David was descended from Lot’s daughters who had committed major incest with their father--a complete no no according to (Leviticus 18:7). Rabbi David Rosenfeld even agrees that: ….”reading in Genesis the story of Lot’s daughters who bore children from him and begat the nations of Amon and Moab. It then struck me that since King David’s great-grandmother was Ruth the Moabite, it means that in some way this very immoral nation entered one of the most important families in Israel.” Rabbi David Rosenfeld continues by stating: “The nations of Amon and Moab were founded on incest. It seems peculiar that Moab of all nations played such a great role in creating the House of David - and ultimately the Messiah son of David.” There are far worse examples in Tanakh that can take the whole line of the prophets into a questionable immoral landscape and even God himself, than what some people have attempted to conjecture about the New Testament historical figures. So, the conjectures or picking on Paul are just conjectures and not evidence. They are opinions of those who are merely antagonistic to the cause of Christ and have attempted for many centuries to undermine any aspect of Christianity that they can put their hands on. Even if we were to take your conjecture at its face value without concrete historical evidence, we can be well-assured that even if Paul had homosexual propensities, he had most certainly decided to resist and overcome those carnal urges and at the end, gave his life for the cause of Christ or at least he had accepted major persecutions for Christ’s sake. And if that’s the case, then as far as Paul’s inner life is concerned, this would in fact be accounted as an exemplary selfless life for all to follow and not a negative thing.
Also right before he supposedly dies on the cross he says woman behold thy son and to his mother and says son behold thy mother to John. I was involved in Christianity for almost 30 years so I know this crap like the back of my hand unfortunately! I had often wondered fleetingly about that but immediately I thought to myself that's a blast with me that's blasphemy you see Christianity teaches you you better not think for yourself. I left idolatry tree about 7 years ago. I'll never go back
I'm of the belief that Paul was just an unusual fella who rubbed a lot of people the wrong way. All of that traveling by foot, preaching in new towns, etc. Being insistent and disagreeing w/ established figures. He always reminded of Michaelangelo who was by all accounts a miserable person who nevertheless persisted. A lot of these figures lived w/out comfort. I'm a Christian but I watch this channel, among many others where they debate or attempt to dismantle the New Testament. I still believe, but I am always happy to hear (educated) people talk about the inconsistencies between the Gospels, etc. As long as they are well read like Tovia Singer is, I'll listen to the content. I like that Tovia Singer has read and learned about the Gospels to a degree thag many priests have not. I am a Christian that also likes to read about mythic Arcadia, etc. J It's perfectly fine to engage in strong scholarly learning of any religious beliefs

If you disagree, as you clearly do, what do you view as Paul's message in this Roman's chapter, if not that "the word is close to you", meaning "you can do it".
After I retired I was able spend more time learning about my interests. I began researching the Bible and eventually got to Judaism. As a Christian I was struck with the regard women are given by Jews. Certainly the tone of the Bible books in the Old Testament are very different than anything attributed to Paul. I always wondered about him and why he had distain for women. The Jewish women I’ve met don’t have the feeling that most Christian Bible. Just look at the fight over abortion. And the ongoing fight. Republican after Republican are passing laws that are very dangerous for pregnant people. Catholic Churches have removed their method of caring for pregnancies that are failing. They are trying to eliminate the main drug used to treat miscarriages when 1 out of 4 pregnancies ends in a miscarriage. The same medication is used in ectopic pregnancies. Contrast all of that with how Jewish men treat women regarding reproductive health. The hatred is all too obvious. I remember being told when I was young that women are punished because we caused the fall of Eden.
I’m gay and I don’t find speculating about a historical figures sexuality very compelling. Other than to slander them and associate them with a hot button issue in modern times. There enough damning material written by Paul to skip the speculating who he found attractive. This is the one area because of my personal experience cast my own doubt on the truth about any Abrahamic faith as being a true revelation of G-d. To participate in homosexual behavior is breaking a law. Like eating pork or not keeping the Sabbath. This is a conversation best left between G-d and the individual. No one follows the laws perfect and anyone who says they do is a liar or arrogant.

Paul was supposedly gay. Mary was supposedly a loose woman who slept with Roman soldier Joseph Pandera to produce a half Jew who they named Jesus (the Lord is my salvation). Getting more interesting by the day.
Such slander to accuse a Godly man like Paul of being a homosexual. Jesus said for every idle word men will be accountable on judgement day the Torah also speaks ill of bearing false witness against others. To disagree with Paul theologically is one thing but to accuse him of such a vile sin as homosexuality is sinful even according to the Old Testament. But Paul probably heard much worse from his countrymen in that day he was beaten half to death three times and persecuted wherever he went. He was much like the Lord Jesus in that respect. His love for his countrymen the Jews was unwavering till the end though he said that if he could he would be cut off from God and go to perdition if it meant his fellow Jews would be saved. This is the same kind of love that Christ showed for all men that he would be willing to suffer the wrath of God so that others wouldn’t have to. Jesus said greater love hath no man than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.
As for laying down his life, He went to paradise for a couple of days, then got a new body and eternal life. Where's the laying down life or sacrifice?
His greatest torment was suffered on the cross when he “ bore the sins of many” as the prophet Isaiah said in chapter 53. Paul says in Corinthians that he “became sin so that we may become the righteousness of God.” I don’t think any of us could ever even fully comprehend the depths of his suffering for us. His grief was so great that it says that he sweat drops of blood in the garden gethsemane.
@@jesussaves3741 Ok, that was for 3 hours or so on a cross, (if it actually happened). Then paradise for a couple of days, then a new body and eternal life. Where's the sacrifice? When sacrifice occurs in G_Ds sacrificial process in Hebrew scriptures, it's definitely not a human and whatever dies stays dead. If it doesn't then it's not a sacrifice, It definitely doesn't benefit from the process such as it's recorded in your jesus narrative.
@ hrvatskinoahid1048 That verse is dealing with the punishment of the guilty indeed those who are guilty will bear their own sins we will not be punished for another’s but will have to give account for everything we have done. However even in the old covenant those who’s sins were atoned for didn’t bear their own sins for it is written of the scapegoat “ The goat shall bear on itself all their iniquities to an uninhabited land; and he shall release the goat in the wilderness.” If everyone were to bear their own sins then all would be damned for “we have all sinned and fallen short of the glory of God” as Romans tells us. This is why an atonement is necessary, every sin under the Old Covenant had to be covered. Thank God for Jesus Christ the Lamb of God who “takes away the sins of the world” just as Isaiah prophesied in the 53rd chapter “ he bore the sins of many and made intercession for the transgressors.”

Paul according to the Bible : Paul say Torah shit dung Php 3:8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and (do count them but dung,) that I may win Christ, paul reject marriage 1Co 7:8 I say therefore to ( the unmarried ) and widows, (It is good for them if they abide even as I.) 1Co 7:26 I suppose therefore that this is (good for the present distress,) I say, that (it is good for a man so to be.) Paul is liar he was Jew not Pharisee Act 23:6 But when Paul perceived that the one part were Sadducees, and the other Pharisees, he cried out in the council, Men and brethren, (I am a Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee): of the hope and resurrection of the dead I am called in question. Act 22:3 "I am a Jew, born in Tarsus in Cilicia but raised in this city and educated at the feet of Gamaliel in the strict ways of our ancestral law. I am as zealous for God as all of you are today. Paul call himself liar and he LIE Romans: 3:7 For if the truth of God hath more abounded through my lie unto his glory; why yet am I also judged as a sinner? 1Co 9:20 And ( unto the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews; to them that are under the law, as under the law, that I might gain them that are under the law; ) 1Co 9:21 To them that are ( without law, as without law, being not without law to God, but under the law to Christ,) that I might gain them that are without law. 1Co 9:23 And this )I do for the gospel's sake,( that I might be partaker thereof with you. Philippians 1:18 But what does it matter? The important thing is that in every way, (whether from false motives or true, Christ is preached.) And because of this I rejoice Paul is a thief who robs churches 2Co 11:8 (I robbed other churches,) taking wages of them, to do you service. Act 8:3 (As for Saul, he made havock of the church), entering into every house, and haling men and women committed them to prison. paul teach apostasy from the law of Moses: Act 21:21 And they are informed of thee, that thou teachest all the Jews which are among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, saying that they ought not to circumcise their children, neither to walk after the customs. Cursed is he who does not keep the law of Moses like Paul: Deu 27:26 Cursed be he that confirmeth not all the words of this law to do them. And all the people shall say, Amen. Paul doesnt't go well with people: Act 15:38 But Paul thought not good to take him with them, who departed from them from Pamphylia, and went not with them to the work. Act 15:39 And the contention was so sharp between them, that they departed asunder one from the other: and so Barnabas took Mark, and sailed unto Cyprus; Ac:19:30: And when Paul would have entered in unto the people,( the disciples suffered him not.)( didn't allow him) Paul was Sinner and does evil things: Romans: 7:19: For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do. Paul was Possessed by Satin (evil): Romans: 7:20: Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but evil that dwelleth in me.
That's a disgusting accusation. We don't have any evidence that points to Paul being a homosexual or even having a desire for men. In fact, he clearly has a negative view of it. I get that some Jews may despise Christians and tend to vilify us, but this is a step too far.
Was Paul Gay? I’d never even thought to ask this. What I asked was, and it seemed more relevant at the time: Who is this Paul? What can and do we know about him? And what, if anything, is he telling that’s a fact, an inference or just his opinion? From my research, it’s not a very flattering picture.
Taylor Caldwell, who is catholic and was allowed access to Vatican archives, mentions a girl Paul loved in his youth, an Egyptian I think, anyway something about the whole thing left him bitter towards women. This was said to be ' the thorn in his side'.
After I read the gospels i came to a conclusion that homosexuality was an easy day to day activity within Jesus Cult and the founder himself. That happened when Jesus himself took off his clothes and started to wash or massage with water to the feet of some of the guys with him inside the house. Wasn't he able to wash their feet while him wearing his clothes? or it was a necessity for something? The unbelievable comes when you ask the Christians about this incident, they will answer you Jesus was teaching them humbleness. Add to this when Jesus one day asked a guy of his followers to look to a woman kissing him and Jesus say to the guy why you don't kiss me also? And the naked young guy who ran out of the house at the time when Roman Soldiers arrived to arrest Jesus from the house. This is a clear and obvious homosexual erotic life.
The Hebrew word translated "covet" is chamad (חמד) which is commonly translated into English as "covet", "lust", and "strong desire" or to have an evil desire for something that belongs to someone else, to the point of wanting to take it and make the owner lose it. So basically SIN. The law was made for Man as a way to remind us that we are not entirely blameless according to the law and always come up short. It doesn't matter the sin. It's only by his grace and the blood of his Son that we're guaranteed salvation. Tovia is dishonest about Paul.

11:00 this is an area I see otherwise. I see him stating the action when he states the word and the heart. As we understand that what comes out of our mouth or actions, stem first from the heart. Hence the Avraham/Sarah hint story of laughing. One was out loud the other was in the heart. Yet the one that laughed in the heart got rebuked. Not the one that stated it out loud. Because one was sincere, the other was not. That seemed to be Sarah’s failure. Meaning the matters of the heart drive us to act or state things. So I believe his message is accurate here reminding the words of Deut but going further into the example of Yeshua that our actions stem from our deepest intentions. Or the route of ourselves from within which is truly what Abba seeks.
He always asserted that he was a Roman citizen. Though the book of Romans mentioned anti gay rhetorics, Paul has been know to be all things to all men when situation calls for him to win people to Christ. So with Jews he behaved as a jew, with Roamns he becomes the thorn in his flesh...

@@hitoshura2800 Are you implying that men who are attracted to men HATE women? Wow, really amazing liberal values you got there. Men also apparently can't have male co-workers or friends, they must be attracted to them. That's totally the way it works. Also, I thought Paul had a whole lot kind words for Phoebe, Priscilla, Lois, Eunice, Junias, Julia, Neris' sister, Tryphaena and Tryphosa and the list goes on. They helped him in ministry. Look them up in his epistles. Also, do you think women have more rights in Judaism? Paul gave instructions about women prophesying in church, so he couldn't be giving a blanket "shut up women under all circumstances in churches" A woman would never be allowed to prophesy in a first century synagogue. Just admit it. Rabbi Singer clearly doesn't like Paul to the point he's willing to say ridiculous stuff out loud. If he wants to say that what Paul said contradicts Judaism while buddying up to Valliant and History Valley and their conspiracy theories about Paul being a secret Roman agent, he's free to do that. But if he's gonna offer some armchair psychoanalysis on a guy that's been dead for 2000 years and call them gay based on the guy being single by choice, then he needs to be called out for the silliness that it is.
As David foretold, Gd will Crush Kings on the day of His wrath, HE will Execute Justice upon the Nations into a heap of cor*ses. As Isaiah prophesied, Gd will make the Nations to Serve and go by His Chosen's Leadership, the wealth of the Nations will be given to them and the Nations who refuse shall PERISH, just as He will make the children of their Oppressors go to them BENT OVER, just as He will make those who have DESPISED HIS Chosen Priestly People Israel the Jews, to PROSTRATE THEMSELVES at the soles of their feet. For Gd warned the Nations long ago that if you come against HIS Chosen Priestly People, HE will come against you, all in His timing.

Thanks!
I take issue with this claim. I’m Jewish orthodox I love your work Tovia. Although, how could Paul be gay if in the Christian bible homosexuality is forbidden…
The prohibition against homosexuality is one of the few parts of the law that Paul reaffirms. In fact, the Romans 1 condemnation is so harsh that it arguably would've condemned a gay Paul even if he abstained entirely. Romans 1 seems to imply that even having the attraction is a direct result of a determined rebellion, so it implies one is already quite evil.
Self-repudiation.
Paul claimed to be a Pharisee of the Pharisees. Any such man of his time would have been married. It would have been arranged with/for him by the time he was 18 at the latest.
LISTEN to the words of YOUR MESSIAH you JEWS , John 8 verse 44 : You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.
IF you will not listen to me then listen to one of your own Professor James Tour , look him up and stop blaspheming your Lord
How many times has Tovia specifically called men he was talking to, "sweetheart?" I've heard him say this countless times.
I'm a Muslim and there's no secret about what we consider Paul to be but this is probably the first time I disagreed with the assessment made by the respected Rabbi Singer about things related to Christianity.
You are more than likely aware that there is a passage in Romans 1, one of Paul's confirmed letters, where he specifically condemns homosexuality and calls it "unnatural." Even if he was lying here, still it's still a point that can be raised to oppose what was said here in this video and be considered valid. And you know very well this would cause nothing but offense to Christians and it's all unnecessary.
Wouldn't the more appropriate argument, supported by Paul's epistles, be that He hates the law because he considered it to be too many to keep track of and so pointless?
The truth that has real evidence at hand is more than enough to defeat falsehood. There's no need for speculations.

I don't care about offending people with truth. But you are spot on - this was absolute speculation. Pretty sloppy in my view. Romans was an authentic Pauline text, but if we look at others both authentic a pseudepigraphal they do comdemn homosexuality and that is consistent with the real Paul and the fake Paul's.... which btw as an atheist I disagree with. But the point is, in all these things no matter what ones bias is, one should remain objective. The Rabbi might not agree with or dislike Paul and that is fine, I don't like the Mosaic law, but I wouldn't just make stuff up about it with wild speculation.
Paul does not condemn homosexuality in Romans 1, there is a synthesis of the book "Wisdom of Solomon", a book that emphasizes the difference between the "unrighteousness of the Jews" and the sinful nations. The text is put as a contrast, in epideictic (Aristotelian) language precisely so that in chapter 2 Paul will have more power to judge the Jews. So, it is not Paul who condemns homosexuality, but the traditionalist Jews whom Paul now kicks ass to the ground, telling them that "they do the same things" and that "there is no difference between a Jew and a non-Jew" because they are all way.
@@georgecurinii3930 "Wisdom of Solomon" is not a canonical Christian Scripture. So it generally means absolutely nothing to Christians so that it's not even logical to bring into the conversation.
The point is that there's no need to give out nearly unfounded speculations that's barely going to have any effect on Christians as they can easily dismiss them especially when there's is a ton of evidence from his confirmed writings that He clearly distorted the meanings of some of the passages from the Old Testament, as we've seen the respected Rabbi point out several times before. These evidences are enough to have more impact on attentive Christian.
This video just blew my mind. I had never thought of that.....
A lot of these comments completely miss the point.
PAUL TALKED OUT BOTH SIDES OF HIS MOUTH.
PAUL WAS A HYPOCRITE.
Paul says to a Jew he is a Jew. But to a non Jew, he is a non Jew.
Paul is literally a political figure lol, that is exactly what the message is.
Paul wants you to follow his cult.... stay away from it.
That’s a false assumption. When Paul states that he is a jew to a jew, and also states that he is not a Jew to a non-jew---this is not hypocrisy. What Paul was saying is that the reality of Christ encompassed all people and that to each people Paul would point out the reality of Christ according to the various backgrounds of different people he had encountered. This is called wisdom and not hypocrisy. This is called being a well-informed teacher. Every great educator adapts his or her presentation to their particular audience! That’s being wise and rational!

I understand people were ignorant back in the ancient days, but they are just as ignorant now. Paul spoke out of both sides of his mouth and is still getting away with it 2000 years later. He was a liar, thief, and hypocrite and 99.9 percent of Christians are blind to it. Blessings and shalom Rabbi!
My mother used to say this to me when I was younger, that Paul was gay because what else was that thorn in his side that he could never remove. Thank you Rabbi Tovia for giving more wisdom and research into this!

What does it matter if Rabbi Paul was an LGBT or not? Jewish religion tolerates all people, and as a matter of fact, two New Jersey Rabbis walked the aisle, and they honeymooned in HI.
Tolerance of is a very different thing than a judicial regulation and ruling. The law clearly says LGTQ+ are MoWTh "mooth" - soul dead and emotionally in pain. The true meaning of "stone them to death " , it's not talking about physical execution The NT clearly says that they are dead , Romans 1 and cannot enter "the kingdom of heaven". It's one thing to be kind and tolerant but that in no way alters the final judgement of the King on this matter. "...'eTh-Ha'iShaH W''eTh-HaB-HeMaH MoWTh YuWMaThuW D-MeYHeM BaM : WaYiQ'Ra Kaf: Yod, Zayin "Leviticus 20:17" Christian Bible & verse 13 (Yod, Gimel) in the Jewish Bible. Gimel = Connect. It's a soul ending sin but that doesn't
Romans 1:27 > vs 32. Revelation 21:8. 22:15.
Tolerance of, letting people live their lives, minding your own business in personal matters doesn't alter the final ruling and judgement.
Lmao gotta admit Rabbi, the title got me.
Paul was not Gay but a Godly man by the grace of God and would suffer for The gospels sake and Was caught up to the third heaven in a mysterious way .We see a man who was greatly afflicted for Jesus sake and today we still see the same and attacking him is attacking the God of Abraham since Paul is a ambassador of God
Petra, around near where Shaul went to, was "Arabia"- The Araba, meaning wilderness.
Was Jesus gay? Think about over 30 never married hanging out with a bunch of dudes!!!!
It doesn't mean he is the one. I am not going to marry ever, but I am not gay definitely
The scriptures say a bishop must be the husband of a wife, also elders, and decons as representative of the church or doctrine of the church. Paul profiles are not in line but the churches use his direction and reject Peter's testimony, who Jesus gave the key to open, and no man shuts and loses on earth what will be lose in heaven
This doesn't make much sense, given the content of Paul's letters. He may have objected to the law as such, but the prohibition against homosexuality was one of the very few parts of the law that he reaffirmed. He condemns it more than once. Heck, he condemns it in a way that even an abstaining homosexual never would. Even if a gay person considered it wrong and steadfastly refused to act on it, it is still highly doubtful they would have condemned in the manner of Romans 1, because this passage has a very strong accusation explaining how Paul thinks people become gay to begin with. That the reason they even have the attraction is a result of determined rebellion against God. If Paul was gay, he wouldn't have been able to escape his own accusation even by abstaining entirely.
Someone being rabidly anti-gay and then having it be discovered later that they were actually hiding their own homosexuality is so common as to be cliche.
@Kaddywompous Sure, but there are more typical ways this cliche manifests. The closeted gay anti-gay would more typically be finding and reacting to imaginary closet cases under every rock and branch. It's a matter of trying to redirect hostility away from themselves by appearing to take charge of it. Such people would appear quite sensitive to secret homosexuality, because they're actually reacting with hostility to things they find attractive or titillating. They notice a reaction in themselves and then cover it up with hostility.
What Paul does, on the other hand, is *_add fuel_* to others' hostility. He invents new reasons to hate gay people. For a closet case to do this would simply be increasing the risk to himself. If Paul were gay, I'm guessing even his unconscious would've thought been uncomfortable with this. This seems more the behavior of someone who has depersonalized his target, so he doesn't feel or experience the actual impact of his venomous accusations. Gay people, for Paul, are alien monsters that he's completely unable to relate to.
All I want in life is to be able to remember verses like he can. It amazes me how Tovia is able to just spit bible verses out like it’s the alphabet. The amount of knowledge this man has is amazing.
He’s a Rabbi, he has devoted his entire life to the bible
The thief on the cross probably did not know many bible verses if any but Jesus saved him at a appointed time where he was the thief's righteousness so that he was perfect in the law.God has to do the work so we are saved and can learn truth so it is in our hearts that God gives those he loves and Satan comes as a angel of light to deceive and remembering verses does not mean you are saved since Jesus told many who thought they knew him to depart.

The insistence that Paul was a homosexual tells us more about the homophobia of the person who holds that view than it does about Paul. They say it because they know other people are homophobic and would be disgusted, shocked, scandalized, and humiliated. Keep in mind that if Paul was a homosexual, his guilt came about as the result of homophobia - religious or otherwise.
I don't thinks Tovia was saying that with judgement about his being gay. Simply that if he was, it would explain some things. Paul was brilliant, and showed a lot of courage and leadership, so we have to commend him for that. But regarding Paul's sexuality, I've often gotten the same impression.

ISAIAH 1
Hear me, you heavens! Listen, earth!
For the Lord has spoken:
“I reared children and brought them up,
but they have rebelled against me.
3 The ox knows its master,
the donkey its owner’s manger,
but Israel does not know,
my people do not understand.”
4 Woe to the sinful nation,
a people whose guilt is great,
a brood of evildoers,
children given to corruption!
They have forsaken the Lord;
they have spurned the Holy One of Israel
and turned their backs on him.
💐💐💐💐There is absolutely no difference in the inner essence and in the inner meaning between Paul’s statement in Romans 10:6-8 and Deuteronomy 30:11-14. Put them side by side on your computer screen and read both of them and ask yourself whether there are any differences found in the inner essence of the meaning between those two verse. There is none! The inner essential objective in both verses is one and the same. I do not see why is there so much complaining about Paul.
The last part of the verse which you are complaining about Paul omitting it which says: “so you can do it”, why be so bitter about this. Paul did not quote whole thing about “the word”, “so you can do it”, because to Paul or to any clear-headed person it is obvious that the word of God is already assumed and is meant to be taken into action, hence, “so you can do it”. So why would Paul want to add the last part of the verse when it’s fully clear that it is not just reading the word but acting on the word which is automatically assumed by Paul. Two thousand years ago no one of a humble birth and social status had extra money or time or resources to waste over few words that are already assumed in the verse. Taking out few words here and there which does not change anything in the original verse does not mean that Paul was on purpose trying to cut out different parts of various verses from Tanakh. God forbid!

Paul went into Arabia because he was a Herodian ARAB. He alluded to it.
He was an Idumean.
Rabbi I have no skin in this game, I'm not a Christian. Though this seems like a *massive* leap. Most scholars I understand see Paul and Jesus as Jewish Apocalypticisists. If you held the world view that Jesus was coming back any day and we are living in the end times which the authentic Pauline letters do - then it kinda makes sense to stay celibate. Paul mainly condemns homosexuality in great detail in his authentic writings. Surely, it is more likely he would put it in the realms of pork and the like. I understand this is just conjecture but thus has to be taken with a grain of salt.

🙏🏻🙏🏻💐💐I am a member of the Baha’i Faith and not a Christian, but what you are considering as “preponderance of evidence” is nothing but conjectures. You even have admitted that in your original post about Rabbi Tovia conjecturing. The fact is that Conjecture ≠ evidence. If we take your conjecture to be evidence then we have far better and more real evidences to conclude that King David was descended from Lot’s daughters who had committed major incest with their father--a complete no no according to (Leviticus 18:7).
Rabbi David Rosenfeld even agrees that:
….”reading in Genesis the story of Lot’s daughters who bore children from him and begat the nations of Amon and Moab. It then struck me that since King David’s great-grandmother was Ruth the Moabite, it means that in some way this very immoral nation entered one of the most important families in Israel.”
Rabbi David Rosenfeld continues by stating:
“The nations of Amon and Moab were founded on incest. It seems peculiar that Moab of all nations played such a great role in creating the House of David - and ultimately the Messiah son of David.”
There are far worse examples in Tanakh that can take the whole line of the prophets into a questionable immoral landscape and even God himself, than what some people have attempted to conjecture about the New Testament historical figures. So, the conjectures or picking on Paul are just conjectures and not evidence. They are opinions of those who are merely antagonistic to the cause of Christ and have attempted for many centuries to undermine any aspect of Christianity that they can put their hands on.
Even if we were to take your conjecture at its face value without concrete historical evidence, we can be well-assured that even if Paul had homosexual propensities, he had most certainly decided to resist and overcome those carnal urges and at the end, gave his life for the cause of Christ or at least he had accepted major persecutions for Christ’s sake. And if that’s the case, then as far as Paul’s inner life is concerned, this would in fact be accounted as an exemplary selfless life for all to follow and not a negative thing.
So was Jesus (In John's gospel)
Do you mean when it says that he was the disciple that Jesus loved?
Also right before he supposedly dies on the cross he says woman behold thy son and to his mother and says son behold thy mother to John.

@@Levychosesemet Huh? When? You have a quote?

I'm of the belief that Paul was just an unusual fella who rubbed a lot of people the wrong way. All of that traveling by foot, preaching in new towns, etc. Being insistent and disagreeing w/ established figures. He always reminded of Michaelangelo who was by all accounts a miserable person who nevertheless persisted. A lot of these figures lived w/out comfort.
I'm a Christian but I watch this channel, among many others where they debate or attempt to dismantle the New Testament. I still believe, but I am always happy to hear (educated) people talk about the inconsistencies between the Gospels, etc.

Rabbi - Romans 10:6-8 and Deuteronomy 30:11-14 actually read the same to me. That Paul left out "so that you can do it" strikes me as immaterial - the essence of the Romans chapter seems the same.
If you disagree, as you clearly do, what do you view as Paul's message in this Roman's chapter, if not that "the word is close to you", meaning "you can do it".
After I retired I was able spend more time learning about my interests. I began researching the Bible and eventually got to Judaism. As a Christian I was struck with the regard women are given by Jews. Certainly the tone of the Bible books in the Old Testament are very different than anything attributed to Paul. I always wondered about him and why he had distain for women. The Jewish women I’ve met don’t have the feeling that most Christian Bible.
Just look at the fight over abortion. And the ongoing fight. Republican after Republican are passing laws that are very dangerous for pregnant people. Catholic Churches have removed their method of caring for pregnancies that are failing. They are trying to eliminate the main drug used to treat miscarriages when 1 out of 4 pregnancies ends in a miscarriage. The same medication is used in ectopic pregnancies. Contrast all of that with how Jewish men treat women regarding reproductive health.
The hatred is all too obvious. I remember being told when I was young that women are punished because we caused the fall of Eden.
I’m gay and I don’t find speculating about a historical figures sexuality very compelling.
Other than to slander them and associate them with a hot button issue in modern times.
There enough damning material written by Paul to skip the speculating who he found attractive.
This is the one area because of my personal experience cast my own doubt on the truth about any Abrahamic faith as being a true revelation of G-d.
To participate in homosexual behavior is breaking a law. Like eating pork or not keeping the Sabbath.
This is a conversation best left between G-d and the individual.
No one follows the laws perfect and anyone who says they do is a liar or arrogant.

Such slander to accuse a Godly man like Paul of being a homosexual. Jesus said for every idle word men will be accountable on judgement day the Torah also speaks ill of bearing false witness against others. To disagree with Paul theologically is one thing but to accuse him of such a vile sin as homosexuality is sinful even according to the Old Testament. But Paul probably heard much worse from his countrymen in that day he was beaten half to death three times and persecuted wherever he went. He was much like the Lord Jesus in that respect. His love for his countrymen the Jews was unwavering till the end though he said that if he could he would be cut off from God and go to perdition if it meant his fellow Jews would be saved. This is the same kind of love that Christ showed for all men that he would be willing to suffer the wrath of God so that others wouldn’t have to. Jesus said greater love hath no man than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.
As for laying down his life, He went to paradise for a couple of days, then got a new body and eternal life. Where's the laying down life or sacrifice?
His greatest torment was suffered on the cross when he “ bore the sins of many” as the prophet Isaiah said in chapter 53. Paul says in Corinthians that he “became sin so that we may become the righteousness of God.” I don’t think any of us could ever even fully comprehend the depths of his suffering for us. His grief was so great that it says that he sweat drops of blood in the garden gethsemane.

That verse is dealing with the punishment of the guilty indeed those who are guilty will bear their own sins we will not be punished for another’s but will have to give account for everything we have done. However even in the old covenant those who’s sins were atoned for didn’t bear their own sins for it is written of the scapegoat “ The goat shall bear on itself all their iniquities to an uninhabited land; and he shall release the goat in the wilderness.” If everyone were to bear their own sins then all would be damned for “we have all sinned and fallen short of the glory of God” as Romans tells us. This is why an atonement is necessary, every sin under the Old Covenant had to be covered. Thank God for Jesus Christ the Lamb of God who “takes away the sins of the world” just as Isaiah prophesied in the 53rd chapter “ he bore the sins of many and made intercession for the transgressors.”

Ooo child!! I can't WAIT to hear this one! Never cared for Paul in the 30 years i was in xtianity and thought he HATED women! Did he like men! 😮😮😮😮
Yeshua is the Messiah and when he returns your knee will bow to him...guaranteed...
Jesus story is hoax...No knee bending
Whoever wrote your scripture imagined that "EVERY knee will bow" to "Jesus". Does that include the leg joints of every single insect and every spider? 🐝 🪲 🕷️ 🕸️ 😆

I love very much the Jewish people and the Nation of Israel. I always pray for Israel. But this is a bad look for the rabbi.
What do you think it is a "bad look" to have an opinion about Paul?
even in our time parchment is a very expensive material, a luxury. with all the technological improvements that obviously result in reduction of price and increased quality, one A3 page of parchment costs about 300NIS (~75$). it’s more than 1:100 compared to the price of the best, most expensive drawing paper, let alone paper we use these days to print books.
was jeezuz gay?
Yes, his bf was a redhead named Rob
Mark 14:51-52 and John chapters 11 through 21 (Lazarus and the beloved disciple) should provide the answer.

Not really he went to Northern India and had a nice wife and family
He traveled around with twelve guys and never had a girlfriend. Nuff said.
See, the thing is that first century Jewish culture was not particularly fond of women. So why should Paul be any different?
Paul according to the Bible :
Paul say Torah shit dung
Php 3:8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and (do count them but dung,) that I may win Christ,
paul reject marriage
1Co 7:8 I say therefore to ( the unmarried ) and widows, (It is good for them if they abide even as I.)
1Co 7:26 I suppose therefore that this is (good for the present distress,) I say, that (it is good for a man so to be.)
Paul is liar he was Jew not Pharisee
Act 23:6 But when Paul perceived that the one part were Sadducees, and the other Pharisees, he cried out in the council, Men and brethren, (I am a Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee): of the hope and resurrection of the dead I am called in question.
Act 22:3 "I am a Jew, born in Tarsus in Cilicia but raised in this city and educated at the feet of Gamaliel in the strict ways of our ancestral law. I am as zealous for God as all of you are today.
Paul call himself liar and he LIE
Romans: 3:7 For if the truth of God hath more abounded through my lie unto his glory; why yet am I also judged as a sinner?
1Co 9:20 And ( unto the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews; to them that are under the law, as under the law, that I might gain them that are under the law; )
1Co 9:21 To them that are ( without law, as without law, being not without law to God, but under the law to Christ,) that I might gain them that are without law.
1Co 9:23 And this )I do for the gospel's sake,( that I might be partaker thereof with you.
Philippians 1:18 But what does it matter? The important thing is that in every way, (whether from false motives or true, Christ is preached.) And because of this I rejoice
Paul is a thief who robs churches
2Co 11:8 (I robbed other churches,) taking wages of them, to do you service.
Act 8:3 (As for Saul, he made havock of the church), entering into every house, and haling men and women committed them to prison.
paul teach apostasy from the law of Moses:
Act 21:21 And they are informed of thee, that thou teachest all the Jews which are among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, saying that they ought not to circumcise their children, neither to walk after the customs.
Cursed is he who does not keep the law of Moses like Paul:
Deu 27:26 Cursed be he that confirmeth not all the words of this law to do them. And all the people shall say, Amen.
Paul doesnt't go well with people:
Act 15:38 But Paul thought not good to take him with them, who departed from them from Pamphylia, and went not with them to the work.
Act 15:39 And the contention was so sharp between them, that they departed asunder one from the other: and so Barnabas took Mark, and sailed unto Cyprus;
Ac:19:30: And when Paul would have entered in unto the people,( the disciples suffered him not.)( didn't allow him)
Paul was Sinner and does evil things: Romans: 7:19: For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do.
Paul was Possessed by Satin (evil): Romans: 7:20: Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but evil that dwelleth in me.
paul was describing him self
That's a disgusting accusation. We don't have any evidence that points to Paul being a homosexual or even having a desire for men. In fact, he clearly has a negative view of it. I get that some Jews may despise Christians and tend to vilify us, but this is a step too far.
Was he married ? Was Jesus married?
Did they have kids.
No
No
and No
@@samfromisraelmaybe Cheeses and Paul were lovers
but he has children
@@dimakelly who had children?
It's actually Christians that despise us.
❤️🙏
It would explain a lot about his aversion to the law, marriage, and his attitude in his letters was a lot like a nagging woman.
Was Paul Gay? I’d never even thought to ask this. What I asked was, and it seemed more relevant at the time: Who is this Paul? What can and do we know about him? And what, if anything, is he telling that’s a fact, an inference or just his opinion?
From my research, it’s not a very flattering picture.
Masterful. ❤🎉
Since Paul had been a rabbi he probably would have been married and had children. How about that?
I heard that in a book by a man named Pollock who said his wife rejected him
@@carolinenorman6141 Thats just a theory and not confirmed at all and a rabbi going trough divorce would not have been a rabbi for long after that
Gay Zeus was a by product of Roman war psy-ops.
Taylor Caldwell, who is catholic and was allowed access to Vatican archives, mentions a girl Paul loved in his youth, an Egyptian I think, anyway something about the whole thing left him bitter towards women. This was said to be ' the thorn in his side'.
A gay Paul would not have written Romans 1
After I read the gospels i came to a conclusion that homosexuality was an easy day to day activity
within Jesus Cult and the founder himself. That happened when Jesus himself took off his clothes and started to
wash or massage with water to the feet of some of the guys with him inside the house.
Wasn't he able to wash their feet while him wearing his clothes? or it was a necessity for something?
The unbelievable comes when you ask the Christians about this incident, they will answer you Jesus was teaching
them humbleness.
Add to this when Jesus one day asked a guy of his followers to look to a woman kissing him and Jesus say
to the guy why you don't kiss me also? And the naked young guy who ran out of the house at the time when Roman
Soldiers arrived to arrest Jesus from the house.
This is a clear and obvious homosexual erotic life.
Regardless of the particulars he still seemed to be a slave to sin.
I believe this theory and I believe he thought it was going to damn him and that the Law was what caused it. That is why he went to war with the Law.
The Hebrew word translated "covet" is chamad (חמד) which is commonly translated into English as "covet", "lust", and "strong desire" or to have an evil desire for something that belongs to someone else, to the point of wanting to take it and make the owner lose it. So basically SIN. The law was made for Man as a way to remind us that we are not entirely blameless according to the law and always come up short. It doesn't matter the sin. It's only by his grace and the blood of his Son that we're guaranteed salvation. Tovia is dishonest about Paul.

i wish to inform all my Rabbi brothers: that the curse of Canaan(the first colonizer after the floods) is real and scripture was manipulated to invent the curse of Ham.

Exodus 20:16 and Deuteronomy 5:20 do not apply to Toby. He is above God's law.
11:00 this is an area I see otherwise. I see him stating the action when he states the word and the heart. As we understand that what comes out of our mouth or actions, stem first from the heart. Hence the Avraham/Sarah hint story of laughing. One was out loud the other was in the heart. Yet the one that laughed in the heart got rebuked. Not the one that stated it out loud. Because one was sincere, the other was not. That seemed to be Sarah’s failure. Meaning the matters of the heart drive us to act or state things. So I believe his message is accurate here reminding the words of Deut but going further into the example of Yeshua that our actions stem from our deepest intentions. Or the route of ourselves from within which is truly what Abba seeks.
BRAVO!
He always asserted that he was a Roman citizen. Though the book of Romans mentioned anti gay rhetorics, Paul has been know to be all things to all men when situation calls for him to win people to Christ. So with Jews he behaved as a jew, with Roamns he becomes the thorn in his flesh...
Yes he did and that is called being a hypocrite
Why did he change the letter in his first name from S - his name meaning “asked for” - to a P? Why a P?
Paul was his Roman name Saul his Hebrew name he was a Roman citizen from the start
@@carolinenorman6141 What does “paul” mean? As I understand it, he converted. The two names are alike. It’s the difference of one letter.
@@visionaryventures12 he had both names from birth he was born in turkey part of the Roman empire his Roman name was Paul his hebrew name was saul.

I believe he was married, and so was Jesus. Just the Romans hide a bunch of stuff. To make themselves an idol and they did. Jerusalem is full of idol. But when God’s grandson comes. All of this will be taken away.
This is not a good road to travel on. We don’t know about Paul in this way. Whether we do know is Gd condemns homosexuality unequivocally.
I came to the same conclusion after reading Paul’s letters.
Great information Rabbi.
You are right rabbi,paul was gay😢
The type of Christianity that’s finally being exposed
You've officially jumped the shark now, Rabbi.
😆
Not at all, if you really read Paul he spells it out himself, it's clear as day.
Paul HATED women too, he much preferred to be around men. Just accept it
I'm not so sure that he has 🦈
@@hitoshura2800 Are you implying that men who are attracted to men HATE women? Wow, really amazing liberal values you got there. Men also apparently can't have male co-workers or friends, they must be attracted to them. That's totally the way it works.
Also, I thought Paul had a whole lot kind words for Phoebe, Priscilla, Lois, Eunice, Junias, Julia, Neris' sister, Tryphaena and Tryphosa and the list goes on. They helped him in ministry. Look them up in his epistles.
Also, do you think women have more rights in Judaism? Paul gave instructions about women prophesying in church, so he couldn't be giving a blanket "shut up women under all circumstances in churches" A woman would never be allowed to prophesy in a first century synagogue.
Just admit it. Rabbi Singer clearly doesn't like Paul to the point he's willing to say ridiculous stuff out loud. If he wants to say that what Paul said contradicts Judaism while buddying up to Valliant and History Valley and their conspiracy theories about Paul being a secret Roman agent, he's free to do that. But if he's gonna offer some armchair psychoanalysis on a guy that's been dead for 2000 years and call them gay based on the guy being single by choice, then he needs to be called out for the silliness that it is.
Paul was a roman and gay was their way its not shocking
He is protected by rome and he operates like rome
I’m not at all a Paul fan, but with the new Jerusalem very imminent, maybe that’s why he preached to not get married or have children. Why bother?
Weather forecast *brimstone
As David foretold, Gd will Crush Kings on the day of His wrath, HE will Execute Justice upon the Nations into a heap of cor*ses.
As Isaiah prophesied, Gd will make the Nations to Serve and go by His Chosen's Leadership, the wealth of the Nations will be given to them and the Nations who refuse shall PERISH, just as He will make the children of their Oppressors go to them BENT OVER, just as He will make those who have DESPISED HIS Chosen Priestly People Israel the Jews, to PROSTRATE THEMSELVES at the soles of their feet.
For Gd warned the Nations long ago that if you come against HIS Chosen Priestly People, HE will come against you, all in His timing.
it is such a 21st century thing to look for gays in the past... what is the point? so then is paul the only one you think? or maybe some prophets?
