    Shalom, friends. In the podcast, I quoted a General Authority’s words speaking of the need for less judgment, and more love. Sadly, I was unable to remember his name. Here is the General Conference quote from Elder Alan T. Phillips that truly would, if followed, transform our world:
    “We can heed President Nelson’s counsel to judge, less, love more…”
    Thank you Elder Phillips. Thank you for both hearing and heeding the wise words of wisdom from President Nelson’s heart. I wish you grace and peace. 🙏

      Rabi Joe, you are not the only one to be blessed to attend all sessions. I'm from New Zealand and it was my first time visiting the USA for the April 2023, General Conference. I am truly grateful, once in a lifetime for me.

    Your discussion was wonderful - a perfect illustration of how deeply pondering the scriptures can bring huge rewards. The real application of Rabbi Charnes' words in todays culture of refusing to acknowledge or give credence to the "other side" would make such a difference in how we treat one another. Recognizing the love and respect Paul was showing in his greetings to those he was writing to must have helped them hear much better what he had to say to them - whether positive or negative.

    Thank you, Kerry, for including Rabbi Joe Charnes in this beautiful discussion. I love how the Rabbi speaks of the difference between treating a covenant as a "transaction" rather than an opportunity for "transformation."

    • @joecharnes2454
      @joecharnes2454 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Yes, the difference between covenantal transaction and covenantal transformation is crucial. I wish I could claim credit for that insight, but I can’t. That gem of wisdom came from Elder Joachim E.Costa, during the Saturday afternoon session of General Conference. Blessings

    Thank you so much. Please tell Rabbi Joe Chames the General Sunday School presidency and board love him. They are as you always encouraging us to receive transformation. The thought came when you were saying Paul was showing formulary for discipleship and after the Oct Conference the word transformation came to mind. Did heaps of sharing it really helped me as I can be the anxious roadrunner type. It really helped me to consider the advice to unpack how the Spirit is trying to convert me. Thank you for your wonderful discussion very helpful to seeing the face of Jesus, as are all your efforts. Grace, peace and love received ditto back with thanks.

    Is this rabbi a messianic Jew? Or is he truly just learning and seeing beauty in quite different faiths? Quite amazing either way. Thanks again for a thoughtful discussion ❤️

    We LDS can learn from Rabbis the methodology of reading text-PRDS-peshat, remez, derush, sod. The shallow-surface literal readings promoted by LDS correlation (the CES) is abominable.

    • @TheScripturesAreReal
      @TheScripturesAreReal  ปีที่แล้ว +3

      There are so many ways to do this, but we need to make sure we don't neglect doing some deep dives and really trying to get into it. As Rabbi Charnes said, we need the breadth and depth, but I think it is up to us to get the depth.

    • @joecharnes2454
      @joecharnes2454 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Shalom, and ditto to Professor Muhlestein’s words. The depth a person reaches in his or her journey through the scriptures is less dependent on method, and more on the manner in which he or she approaches scripture. Seeking with heart, with a heart that is open to receiving is ultimately what matters in our search for sacred meaning.
