This might well be the best of all Rabbi Sacks Sermons I have heard, notwithstanding I still have not gotten to watch a quarter of His published Sermons. He is so badly missed and needed by so many. G-D'S presence be with his family.
I am Catholic and I love this Rabbi he is a gifted speaker and he helps me tremendously with my relationship with God in such a practical way. Thank you. I was raised to see Jews as my older brothers.
A wonderful lecture by rabbi Jonathan Sacks He was a great speaker and Communicator He was a learned man -a man who believed in Hashem Jews and Judaism He was also a lover of Israel. -the Jewish homeland. In this lecture he explained why Faith is important and why one should believe. Be proud to be a Jew and practice Judaism. He was a historian and lover of music.a father.a husband. But most of all Rabbi Jonathan Sacks had inspired us all. His death was a great loss. May his memory be a blessing and May we follow in his footsteps and continue as Jews to practice our faith
A wonderful lecture by rabbi Jonathan Sacks He spoke of faith. ,science. ,the Holocaust. and the need to believe. He was a learned man,a historian and philosopher He. was a devoted. Jew. who loved. music, history ,knowledge and Israel. He was also a proud father and husband. and a gifted writerOne misses his stories and podcasts ,lectures and discussions. May his memory be a blessing And May. one believe and like him be proud of our faith-Judaism
Another wonderful lecture by rabbi Jonathan Sacks He was a philosopher historian and writer He was a learned man He loved Judaism and inspired many through his lectures books and stories He was a proud Jew and a strong believer in Hashem. Religion matters to all. We are proud to be Jewish and be called Jews. One is proud to observe Jewish customs and prayers. One is proud to be called a Jew. and have faith in Hashem as We are part of a Society and Community
I am Catholic. This material, was sent to me by a very good friend of mine, Abraham Shapurkar, a Jew. Please allow me to thank You, Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks for sharing your perspective of life in general and faith in particular. It has served to reinforce my belief that there is a Supreme Power, that was, that is, and that always will be. I quite enjoyed that piece on the Atheist. "On the surface he is profound, but deep down he is superficial."
I am Catholic, as well. However, I love listening to Rabbi Sacks (May his soul Rest In Peace). This dear man and a few other Rabbis’ I listen to are extremely wise and filled with great kindness and compassion.
Romans 3:4 KJV God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, And mightest overcome when thou art judged. Thank you Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks❤❤
Choosing to live with belief and deal with your doubts is by far preferable than to live in doubt and deal with you belief. אדיך לחיות באמונה ולהתגבר על הספייקות מההפך
Such a Gemtleman, such study, being able to remember so much is amazing. Jonathan is a man that I just can't help loving. I think Hesham loves him dearly and I am sure he has a position of profound trust and will be kept close to his throne. There are always questions and hypotheses in our learned brains as free will stretches to evidence and the word logic does not run along that divine plane written down by Moses believing in the instance of creation in Eden. There is a fear of believing in the logic of creation that dismantles the Talmud and is never taken into view by those who have stopped searching and running their lives with 613 laws laid down that are thought to please Hashem. What pleases Hashem is the truth, not taking away that which a real profit has passed on influenced by Hashem for our future benefit as Isaiah 53. We do not get it right all the time, and that is why we must pray together in sincerity and belief. Darwin in his five years on the Beagle found evidence of a prehistoric age along with evidence to suggest that we are still on a journey of evolution. That leaves us thinking about what we believe or not? I can tell you but not in such a small space but simplified so all will understand.

Science KNOWS there will never be an end to infinite things to put together. That's the purpose of science: Discovery. It's people that don't know because they're brought up generally to not ask tough questions.
It has taken me a lifetime, during which I have studied Theology at University level, to realise that 'faith' in the Creator, and the Created, is 'reasonable'! But the 'evolutionary' revelation of GOD, through the salvation-history of the Jewish people, and the revelation in the person of Jesus of Nazareth, as a 'GOD-OF-LOVE-IN-RELATIONSHIP' is peculiar to the Hebrew and Koine Greek scriptures. It is NOT to be found in the scriptures of the third so-called Abrahamic belief-system; where 'allah' is more selective in those whom HE 'loves'. With regard to the classic problem of evil, one of the best books I have read on the topic is Stanley Hauerwas' NAMING THE SILENCES. For the classic problem of evil is not about the Holocaust - we KNOW who caused that - but is about the child who is dying of starvation, through having been born in a 'bad place', or who is found to have a challenging form of leukaemia. From Susan Sontag's writings, one of the most valuable things we can learn is not to seek 'meaning' in suffering. This is counter-intuitive to a Christian believer, such as I, where the suffering of One, is claimed to have had 'meaning'. But Rabbi Kushner's search for 'meaning' in suffering is bound to be doomed. That will not stop us from searching for it.
Commonality of the genetic code is equally predictive of evolution and creation, so its no argument at all. Where the odds tips towards evolution is on closer examination is the nested hierarchy of variation in the genetic code among living things that points to common ancestry, not common design.
I took those remarks as highlighting evidence for the unity of the universe, a nested commonality indeed. He was not supporting your driving of a wedge between evolution and creation.
@@fr.hughmackenzie5900 sure there is evidence of unity of the universe. As far as we know, the laws of physics and chemistry are the same everywhere. Creationism in its various forms is the claim that the origin of "everything" had to be a sentient being. There is no evidence for this claim although of course it is possible. However once people start talking about Noah's Ark and smashing in the brains of Amalekite babies, well, I know they are in cuckoo land.
Guilt of mine or not ? I did not intend to listen to this faith speech.My intention was to listen " why the rabbi is Sack" It took me few seconds after his joke on faith in New York restaurant,I realized Sack is actually is his third name".
Faith: God created us according to His own image and likeness. Godly. Mankind/the first Adam fell. The image of God in man got lost. That's why there is all this predicament on earth (selfishness, greed, lust, wars, sicknesses, death, etc). We are all born into that mess. For the fall of man a perfect atoning sacrifice had to be made.... that is what God did in Christ. With His own once and for all perefect sacrifice, He paid the debt for the fall of man for us, so we can be indwelled by His Spirit again and finally receive the divine life of the ages back, the first Adam let got of in the fall of man. An amazing act of grace and love by our creator. That is what you see happening in Christ's first disciples. They too healed all and walked in unselfish love. And yes.... that is still avaible today. The holy blood is in place, the Holy Spirit is here to give us understanding, power and transform us back to origin. Not to be debated about, but to be embraced and be-come. So: The Kingdom of God already came. Through Christ, in Spiritform, in those that understand. Hence the divine healing miracles we experience. God manifested in Christ to give us back the divine life mankind lost in the fall of Adam. Christ, the exact image of the invisible God. The image we were created after in Gen 1. The image we lost in the fall of man. The image that can be freely restored by Christ's blood and Holy Spirit working IN us. What a plan. What a solution. What a love. What a God. Jesus is amazing. It is the ultimate conclusion of the word and plan of God. God came full circle. He Himself stooped down from glory to restore us back to original created value: Christlikeness. Walking in divine healing power and unselfish love. Jesus, born of the Spirit of God, filled with the spirit of God. The "Son" of God, the incarnated word, God in the flesh. For three years He healed all, raised the dead, casted out demons, controlled nature, spoke pure divine truth. He said: "Follow Me. If you see Me, you see the Father. The Father and I are one. The glory I have IN My Father, I give to you. It pleases the Father to give you His Kingdom/Holy Spirit/divine nature. I will send Holy Spirit, the same as Me, He will be IN you, guide you into truth and give you explosive power. The same miracles i do, you will do too, because you will understand that the Father is IN Me and I am IN you. Freely I give you My Kingdom/Holy Spirit/divine nature, heal the sick, raise the dead, cast out demons, freely I give, freely share" Etc, etc, etc. I have experienced thousands of beautifull healing miracles through the power of Holy Spirit IN me already. Broken bones, cancers, covid, all kinds of infirmities healed in seconds. Demons manifesting and casted out by a simple "get out, in Jesus name". Jesus. De name above all names. In Him all power and wisdom is sourced and.... He calls us one with Him. God in man and man in God again. C'mon Jesus!! So.... again: God stooped down IN Christ to restore us back to Gen 1:27 were He said: "Let us make man according to our image and likeness and let them have authority.....": walk as Christ. Christ, the exact image of the invisible God. The image we were created after and being restored to by His atoning blood for the fall of man and indwelling Holy Spirit. You are free to receive this original divine life of the ages by Holy Spirit of Christ/God. Ask Him to guide you into truth. Read the Gospel of John and fall in love with your creator. You are not made for the fall of man and its effects, but for the image/glory of God and to walk like Christ. Holy Spirit is the guide and transforming power that will get you there. Amazing grace. A big leap in faith can be made when we start realizing we are already IN Christ, IN the last Adam. Free from the fall! Loved! Growing into awareness of our new (yet old) godly identity. Changing by Holy Spirit. The most fullfilled life ever. Paul healed all on Malta. He understood and wrote: "As in the first Adam ALL died (lost the divine nature), so also ALL were made alive IN Christ to walk in Zoë (= divine life) again". "IN Christ (the last Adam) we are co-cruisified (dead to the fall and its effects), co-raised (justified/made righteousness, holy, blameless, above reproach), co-seated (one with Him)" "The fullness of deity dwells in Christ and YOU HAVE BEEN MADE COMPLETE IN HIM, who is the head of every principality and power". So.... thank you Jesus! Thank you for redeeming me from the fall of man. Thank you for your Holy Spirit that makes this new (yet old) divine life come alive in me. You are amazing! In the shadow of Peter the sick healed... He understood too and wrote: "By Gods power (Holy Spirit) and knowing Christ, we have become partakers of the divine nature and have escaped the fall of man". The divine life of the ages has been returned to us by Jesus once and for all perfect atoning sacrifice for the debt of the fall of man and His indwelling Holy Spirit in us. Jesus/God is amazing!!! Ask Him to give you revelation and change you to the way it was before the fall of man: Christlikeness. He will do so. For it is written: "the Spirit brings forth after His own kind". "I have come to give you Zoë (divine life) in abundance...."
I like the talk, but a strong faith does'n necessarily make you a good human being. Just look at. Israel the Jude's and the muslims are fighting and the ISI. So faith is necessary, but then you have to let it change your consciousness..
Rabbi lord Saks . Shavua tov to you . The England yews are in danger , sense you are not their . They have a clown that is not worthy to carry the tittle chief rabbi .
God does not beat the multiverse on Occam's razor, which the rabbi has gotten quite wrong. Its not the "number of unexplained entities", its the number of types. A multiverse merely adds many more instances of the same class of "stuff"; more energy, more space, things already observable and real. the God hypothesis posits an entirely new and different class of "stuff" - infinite consciousness separate and senior to energy and space, for which we have no evidence. Thus Occam's razor favours the multiverse immediately.
@@fr.hughmackenzie5900 energy seems to be an objectively fixed quantity to the degree that no violation of the 1st law of thermodynamics has ever been observed. Space is not "subjective" either, although the way our concsiousness happens to perceive and understand space is. And again you embed an assumption that our consciousness is somehow senior and separate, which is begging the question. The reality is that nothing like consciousness has ever been observed to operate outside biological neural network systems, and when they break down you see consciousness dissolving. That suggests to me that the physical structure is generating the consciousness, not the other way around.
@@richardbeaumont7960 Yes it's embedded, not least by the Rabbi Sacks' opening 4 mins on making "spiritual states of mind", human acts like "trust", fundamental to reality. It's embedded because "nothing like consciousness [or anything else] has ever been observed" without a self-conscious observer (who is thereby also an actor). One just cannot leave human intentionality out of our fundamental ontology. The "laws" you project, the neurons we discover, are abstractions from the primary meaning for us observers of the objective. This is the phenomenological revelation to us of potentials for our bodily enaction. Subject and object have a mutual impact. The breakdown of the former due to the latter does not mean that we reduce intentionality to its objects.
His opening remarks about faith are word games, in which evidence based belief (eg whether to be confident in the markets) is improperly confused with the religious notion of faith (belief without evidence, by definition). If you have actual evidence for a religious truth, it is exactly by that degree LESS a matter of faith depending on the strength of the evidence. An argument by etymology completely ignores what these words have come to mean today.
Fine tuning argument. Firstly, many physicists argue that the claimed fine tuning required is grossly exaggerated. Secondly, the multiverse theory did not develop from the need to explain fine tuning, but arose as a consequence of quantum mechanics. QM posits a multiverse. Third and more to the point, scientists are developing ways to test the conjecture so it may be more than a metaphysical exercise. Even if the fine tuning argument made a case for God, which I have always thought possible, its not a case for any judeo christian biblical God persona.
OK Richard, let's assume that you live in an infinite number of universes. Throughout your life, you made many decisions thanks placing yourself where you are today. Let's suppose you ae pizza today. With an infinite number of universes, would you deny the existence of a universe where you chose to eat spaghetti? So perhaps when you consciously chose pizza, your choice determined your position in the multiverse. Perhaps your mind moves in these extra seven dimensions and you don't even know about it. Well, ancient astrology and contemporary psychology know for a fact that the state of the human mind can be measured by seven characteristics. Considering this, is it so difficult to imagine that reason and emotions are actual embedded in the world we live in? If so how is this different from the idea of the Judeo-Christian Personal G-d? What if science initially observed and documented the observable part of the physical body of G-d and is now beginning to rediscover that it has spiritual dimensions attached to it. What could be more Judeo-Christian than that.
Yes. Problem with his fine tuning argument is that it's god-of-the-gaps. He implies that if the "six numbers" were a lot less constructive then there would be no evidence for God. So were it to be shown that the specific values came from less specific ones, then we should all be atheists. Hence the argument's susceptibility to the multi-verse and his need to dismiss it as irrational speculation. A hostage to fortune.

Complete bunkum that the 98% of DNA not coding for proteins is absolutely essential. Currently about 8% of the genome is highly specified and essential. The thousands of endless simple repeats, fragments of useless pseudogenes, ERVs etc, are largely useless of at least not specific i.e. the actual sequence is immaterial. Here is what that huge study (ENCODE) actually found - that up to 80% of the DNA is transcribed into messenger RNA ie is active, but the vast majority is immediately gobbled up and dissassembled by the lysosomes. Some idiot used the word "functional" to describe any activity at all, and the creationists have been distorting this statement ever since.
Regular attendance adds to life expectancy. Correlation does not prove causation. Recluses, the mentally and physically ill, drug addicts, etc etc would as a matter of course be less expected to attend a regular group event like church. Any attempt to adjust the statistics for that? And how about the fact that these least religious countries like Sweden and Japan, with very low church attendance, happen to have the longest life expectancies on earth? Pure junk stats, just as his science was pure junk arguments.

I like the talk, but a strong faith does'n necessarily make you a good human being. Just look at. Israel the Jude's and the muslims are fighting and the ISI. So faith is necessary, but then you have to let it change your consciousness..

What does this mean? If you post something, please ensure it is in the English language so we can try and understand what you are attempting to say
God does not beat the multiverse on Occam's razor, which the rabbi has gotten quite wrong. Its not the "number of unexplained entities", its the number of types. A multiverse merely adds many more instances of the same class of "stuff"; more energy, more space, things already observable and real. the God hypothesis posits an entirely new and different class of "stuff" - infinite consciousness separate and senior to energy and space, for which we have no evidence. Thus Occam's razor favours the multiverse immediately.
Thus the atheist position is the true one, correct? (Honest question)
except that energy and space are in some sense relative to the observer's creative "separate and senior consciousness". As per his opening story.
@@fr.hughmackenzie5900 energy seems to be an objectively fixed quantity to the degree that no violation of the 1st law of thermodynamics has ever been observed. Space is not "subjective" either, although the way our concsiousness happens to perceive and understand space is. And again you embed an assumption that our consciousness is somehow senior and separate, which is begging the question. The reality is that nothing like consciousness has ever been observed to operate outside biological neural network systems, and when they break down you see consciousness dissolving. That suggests to me that the physical structure is generating the consciousness, not the other way around.
@@richardbeaumont7960 Yes it's embedded, not least by the Rabbi Sacks' opening 4 mins on making "spiritual states of mind", human acts like "trust", fundamental to reality. It's embedded because "nothing like consciousness [or anything else] has ever been observed" without a self-conscious observer (who is thereby also an actor). One just cannot leave human intentionality out of our fundamental ontology.
The "laws" you project, the neurons we discover, are abstractions from the primary meaning for us observers of the objective. This is the phenomenological revelation to us of potentials for our bodily enaction.
Subject and object have a mutual impact. The breakdown of the former due to the latter does not mean that we reduce intentionality to its objects.
His opening remarks about faith are word games, in which evidence based belief (eg whether to be confident in the markets) is improperly confused with the religious notion of faith (belief without evidence, by definition). If you have actual evidence for a religious truth, it is exactly by that degree LESS a matter of faith depending on the strength of the evidence. An argument by etymology completely ignores what these words have come to mean today.
Fine tuning argument. Firstly, many physicists argue that the claimed fine tuning required is grossly exaggerated. Secondly, the multiverse theory did not develop from the need to explain fine tuning, but arose as a consequence of quantum mechanics. QM posits a multiverse. Third and more to the point, scientists are developing ways to test the conjecture so it may be more than a metaphysical exercise. Even if the fine tuning argument made a case for God, which I have always thought possible, its not a case for any judeo christian biblical God persona.
OK Richard, let's assume that you live in an infinite number of universes. Throughout your life, you made many decisions thanks placing yourself where you are today. Let's suppose you ae pizza today. With an infinite number of universes, would you deny the existence of a universe where you chose to eat spaghetti? So perhaps when you consciously chose pizza, your choice determined your position in the multiverse. Perhaps your mind moves in these extra seven dimensions and you don't even know about it. Well, ancient astrology and contemporary psychology know for a fact that the state of the human mind can be measured by seven characteristics. Considering this, is it so difficult to imagine that reason and emotions are actual embedded in the world we live in? If so how is this different from the idea of the Judeo-Christian Personal G-d? What if science initially observed and documented the observable part of the physical body of G-d and is now beginning to rediscover that it has spiritual dimensions attached to it. What could be more Judeo-Christian than that.
Yes. Problem with his fine tuning argument is that it's god-of-the-gaps. He implies that if the "six numbers" were a lot less constructive then there would be no evidence for God. So were it to be shown that the specific values came from less specific ones, then we should all be atheists. Hence the argument's susceptibility to the multi-verse and his need to dismiss it as irrational speculation. A hostage to fortune.
He looks like he has blue hair.
Jogn Smith it is so interesting, you got nothing to say , you reminded me , a white sheet of paper in front you .. You managed to see the black dat ....

Jogn Smith, *MISSED* the *MESSAGE*
Complete bunkum that the 98% of DNA not coding for proteins is absolutely essential. Currently about 8% of the genome is highly specified and essential. The thousands of endless simple repeats, fragments of useless pseudogenes, ERVs etc, are largely useless of at least not specific i.e. the actual sequence is immaterial. Here is what that huge study (ENCODE) actually found - that up to 80% of the DNA is transcribed into messenger RNA ie is active, but the vast majority is immediately gobbled up and dissassembled by the lysosomes. Some idiot used the word "functional" to describe any activity at all, and the creationists have been distorting this statement ever since.
Regular attendance adds to life expectancy. Correlation does not prove causation. Recluses, the mentally and physically ill, drug addicts, etc etc would as a matter of course be less expected to attend a regular group event like church. Any attempt to adjust the statistics for that? And how about the fact that these least religious countries like Sweden and Japan, with very low church attendance, happen to have the longest life expectancies on earth? Pure junk stats, just as his science was pure junk arguments.
