Thank you to Rabbi Friedman and the Mennonite community engaging in this conversation together. We need more of these conversations in the world.
Rabbi, I found this conversation fascinating. Listen to you several times a week but had not heard this podcast. I could have continued listening. Wish there was a part two.
Hello Rabbi Friedman Sr.! I went to your son’s (Rabbi Chaim and Rabbi Mottele) yeshivah in Cottage Grove, MN it’s first three years. I would first like to apologize for every time I fell asleep when you came to speak to us, and to say that 12 years later, I have a new found appreciation, love, and respect for all topics you speak about. Thank you for all your contributions to Chabad, to Judaism, and the world. May Hashem bless you and your family for who I am today.
wow Thank you
Let's just hope you didn't snore loudly. 🙂
Love to hear Rabbis’s teaching, and the baby in the background brings such joy. So wonderful to see Rabbi still continue without distraction and continue with his natural surroundings 🙂
I noticed that in other presentations of his too.
@@blossomdyte7071 Yes, I have noticed in other presentation aswell 🙂
I caused the death of Gods Son. He became me so I could become Him!🤔🤨🤗🥰💯🌎💞

Thank you Rabbi for doing what you do! Grateful for your teachings!
Thank you so só much Rabbi, for your words and precious patience.
I understood every Word you said, and I am very grateful, beyond able to express it.
This class was very informative with a variety of talking points. Thank you Rabbi Manis for always being open to teach.
I am very glad to have met you..you help to inspire me.. thank you for being you
Your teaching skills are very important for the kingdom.and rabbi you have such phenomenal wisdom and patience and respect to your service members and friends and family members.
This is an Amazing kiddush Hashem. Too often Christians, Jews, Muslims all focus on the differences whereas Rabbi Friedman did such a great job and uncovering and focusing on the similarities. The time of "Religion" should be ended and the time for all of us who love G-d and unify ourselves in a "relationship with G-d" should be now
A kiddush Hashem is a jew between jews not between jew and gentiles
@@anonymousanonymous-qx7mv Can you please quote from the Holy Torah to support that?
תוכל בבקשה להביא מקור לטענה?
Thank you Rabbi, your teachings are helping me a lot.
😁 man i LOVE YOU "Our Bible" bring commonality in da rooom.... the nations and isreal will be perfected in time as we move closer to hashem
Rabbi Friedman seems like an fine person with a good heart. It was nice that he would have dialogue with the Mennonites.
That is our Hope that evil will eventually end...
It will. God gerentied that.
YESUHA defeated flesh we have free will to be spiritual with God no flesh sacrifices of any people
“What do you need for the third temple to be built?” .....”First of all we need good carpenters.” I can’t stop laughing.
Yes sir like a alcoholic. Sin is like a hang over that lasts forever. Unless u repent
I do not know if Rabbi ever reads these comments but I follow his channel and yet I am Christian. I find so much wisdom in his posts and hope he is willing to talk to more Christians. I have learned much from him and as our roots all come from Judaism how could we not learn from Gods chosen!!!!!
Same here very practical wisdom
YAHbsolutely true, that! I, hear you!
Consider that you may jewish as the same way grapes are wine. 🤔
There are some Messianics that love talking to Christians. I see it scattering seed.
I'm surprised the Rabbi was caught off guard by Yashayah 64:6 But we are all as an unclean [thing], and all our righteousnesses [are] as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.
Perhaps it's because he is familiar with Isaiah 64 verse 5 from the Tanakh, which is rendered thus by the Jewish Publication Society:"We have all become like an unclean thing, And all our virtues like a filthy rag. We are all withering like leaves, And our iniquities, like a wind, carry us off." Almost the same, but not quite. I was raised in a Christian home and remember this verse quoted often, though I could not have told you where it was from. The interpretation was alway that, no matter how righteous were our actions, G-d saw them as filthy rags. This always jolted me - why would G-d, who defines right and wrong actions, see our best efforts to act rightly as "filty rags"? Rashi, a very highly esteemed and referenced French rabbi from the middle ages, says this verse means "and like a discarded garment, like a rejected garment" (I got this from sefaria dot org). To me, this means that what we had considered virtues before we now consider old and worn out or old fashioned, to be discarded as worthless. In other words, what we used to consider virtues are now considered worthless. Kind of feels like the modern secular milieu, right? Down is the new up, wrong is the new right, dark is the new light, bitter is the new sweet etc. Reminds of another verse, perhaps Isaiah 5 verses 20 through 24.
Great lecture, lots of love
God does not need anyone out of experience means nothing we are born or not to hear his message
This just makes so much sense.
Rabbi!God bless you 🙏🏾
"Your Bible, OUR Bible" 🥰
The Bible of human life🙌🏼one humanity ❤️
❤️
Indeed we need oneness in this world! Oneness with Hasjèm and with muslims, catholics, mennonites, orthodox, liberals, hindus.. If you can do this and also ban suspicion, superstition and prejudice - then the mòsji'ach can come.
Great explanation! Thank you
Blessings blessings dear Rabbi
YESUHA followers seen the connection to Old Testament we all can be Christ like never GOD LIKE
They took the Isaiah 64:6 out of context. It reads "All of us have become like one who is unclean,
and all our righteous acts are like filthy rags;
we all shrivel up like a leaf, and like the wind our sins sweep us away." Taken out of context, it looks as if keeping Torah is worthless and pointless. BUT if taken within the context of the entire chapter, it is saying "You helped us when we gladly kept your ways but left us to our sins when we refused to give them up". It is saying that continuing in sin AND methodically doing what's commanded without a change of heart (meaning, intention to serve God faithfully) is the same as not doing any mitzvot at all. Your 'righteous acts' have no meaning without the intention to serve God. You cannot serve two masters, essentially.
@J Fl I think you misunderstood the intent of my comment. It was not to instruct or inform the rabbi, but rather my own commentary on the responses of the Mennonites in the video. I felt as if they had taken the segment of the verse out of context in order to justify a common christian mindset---which is that the Old Testament covenant is "dead and nailed to the cross" or that "the church" has replace the Jews as God's chosen---and is a mindset that I adamantly disagree with. I found it amusing for the (mostly) well meaning Mennonites to attempt to quote scripture to the rabbi. It seems as if they memorized various verses yet still did not understand the deeper meanings behind it all. But of course, it's difficult to truly appreciate how interconnected all of scripture is when most of the christian bible is bypassed or taken out of context or just misunderstood by those not familiar with Jewish customs or the Hebrew roots of their own scripture. Though I have decades of study under my belt, personally I feel as if I've only scratched the surface and will never truly understand the richness of it because I was raised and live in a Western-Christian country. So please, don't misunderstand my comment as being critical of the rabbi. I hold his teachings in the highest respect.
Also...don't just assume that someone is a 'christian' simply because they can't read Hebrew. Yes, my family and my husband have more experience in christian churches, but that does not mean we ascribe to the same beliefs as mainstream christianity. We have been told that generations ago, my husband's family was Jewish, but for some unknown reason, they left the practices behind. No one knows how to read Hebrew anymore and most of them don't attend any form of worship services. But I can see the ghosts of ritual practices in their daily habits, things that they don't even understand *why* they do what they do, just "this is how great-grandma used to do it". Is it wrong for us to try to learn more about that lost heritage? We may only be in the shallows and will never fully experience what it means to be Jewish, especially because the likelihood of ever even just visiting the Holy Land is not high. But encouragement would be nice, and insight is priceless, which is why a gentile like me frequents lessons given by a Jewish rabbi.
May I add to the discussion here. My grandparents ( my mother’s side) and cousins are Mennonite. I was raised Missouri Synod Lutheran. Last year I wrote ( available on Amazon) “Scriptural Dissonance- Challenging Passages in the Gospels” and invite anyone who wishes to explore God’s Word and determine for themselves - not the thoughts of rabbis or preachers - what is true. If you are reading the comments section of this video, chances are you will want to check out the book, too.
My family was also Mennonite going back to before Menno Simon. But now, 4 generations after my family left Mennonite ways, I have converted to Judaism. Within my tree were many Jewish additions from Speyer, Meintz as they migrated through Europe looking for freedom of religion.
You make sense.
Love Rav Manis ShLIT’’A so much.... that’s possibly a BENTCHmark to achieve for every Kohen in the world, and further, for every Jew and Non-Jew, for every human -being made in G-d’s Image.
love is in the eye of the beholder
So we would have to work to get back to HaSh-m's light, choosing correctly.
The attraction of male to female and female to male is a Sacred one. It can be corrupted and become a selfishness...as a truth it is suppose to be absolutely a Sacredness...a Very Good Uncorrupt Wholesome thing.
great talk ty
Evil is live d thoughts Satan has no power but what we give him
We have been trying to have kids for 8 years. 8 years of infertility treatment. Failure and miscarriage. I’m a good person how can your “god” explain that?! I love my husband, we are each others best friends, we support each other throughout everything, we are great partners, best friends, we work well together. Why does your “god” deem “me less”? Or is it Simply biology? That I have a biological illness that prevents me from having kids? I endometriosis, polyps and poly systic ovarian syndrome. How could a “loving” “god” burden one person with so much biological failure and still have that person a good person who simply wants a child? How can “god” be so cruel?
Wow...Becoming Whole...wholy or Holy...interesting word comparison.

For what sin are u perse cuted that long
Notice he dodges the question about whether Jewish people can be blatantly sinful.( Karl Marx openly flaunted his sinfulness, stating that he intended to destroy the creation, and laugh in G-d's face, "feeling equal to the Creator". ) And if you skip the rabbi's philosophy and go straight to the scriptures, unfortunately, you will soon see that you absolutely cannot back up his lovely sounding words with any scripture.
One of the reasons I believe the scriptures were written by God and not man is, look at all other religions. The men who made them made a religion that made excuses for their particular sins, or at least made them look less serious. However, the Bible makes no excuses, does not lower G-d down to our level, in order to make holiness more attainable, etc. Even ideas like our good works need to outweigh our bad deeds ( try that argument in a court of law! "Your honour, I saved thousands of lives, therefore I should be excused for murdering a few hundred!") -these ideas are not in the Book. This is why the people who adhere to this book drown its teachings thru philosophy and vain deceit, after the traditions of men and not after G-d.
Fellow Jews, get back to the book! G-d called all our fathers to come hear his voice on Mt Sinai. You can understand him! He invites you in the prophets, "Come, let us reason together, saith the L-rd,..."! He promises the "you shall no more teach every man his neighbor, saying 'know the L-rd' , but ALL shall know him from the least to the greatest of them". Don't let your rabbis try to stand between you and your God. "For the leaders of this people cause them to err, and they that are led of them are destroyed"
You have no idea what some possibly biblical scholars - let alone the secular world scholars - have inadvertently done to all bibles published after the 1200's AD. What I'm going to show you here would also apply to all Jewish bibles that have adopted a chapter numbering system also.
I don't think it was deliberate on the part of the the 2 Roman Catholic cardinals that invented the chapter numbering system - because it looks like they've genuinely tried to come up with a system for study purposes - that makes it easier to find and quote important scripture - because it is indeed useful for that purpose.
There is an article in Wikipedia that I've drawn this conclusion from - because not all info in Wikipedia is reliable, in that, the sources from which some of the info gathered in respect of biblical books - are mostly secular scholars.
But in the case of the modern secular scholars criticism of 'the chapter and verse' numbering system 'dividing' scriptures at 'inappropriate' or 'incoherent' rhetorical points' - I've actually found this to be true.
I think that this division of bibles into 'chapters' that was selected by the Roman Catholic cardinals of the 1200's has caused some confusion among Christians - which could partially explain why there are so many differing Christian denominations and/or groups that are not united on their doctrines - with each claiming that their particular group has the truth or true doctrines - which ,of course, would mean that others that do not have the exact same teachings are construed to be 'false' teachers.
So confusion among the religious world is seemingly rife - let alone the secular world adding to that confusion.
The following is an excerpt from the Wikipedia article I'm referring to under the sub heading of 'Christian versions' which I've copied directly from the Wikipedia article titled: 'Chapters and verses of the bible' - as below:
"Cardinal Hugo de Sancto Caro is often given credit for first dividing the Latin Vulgate into chapters in the real sense, but it is the arrangement of his contemporary and fellow cardinal Stephen Langton who in 1205 created the chapter divisions which are used today. They were then inserted into Greek manuscripts of the New Testament in the 16th century. Robert Estienne (Robert Stephanus) was the first to number the verses within each chapter, his verse numbers entering printed editions in 1551 (New Testament) and 1571 (Hebrew Bible).[21]
The division of the Bible into chapters and verses has received criticism from some traditionalists and modern scholars. Critics state that the text is often divided in an incoherent way, or at inappropriate rhetorical points, and that it encourages citing passages out of context. Nevertheless, the chapter and verse numbers have become indispensable as technical references for Bible study.
Several modern publications of the Bible have eliminated numbering of chapters and verses. Biblica published such a version of the NIV in 2007 and 2011. In 2014, Crossway published the ESV Reader's Bible and Bibliotheca published a modified ASV.[22] Projects such as Icthus[23] also exist which strip chapter and verse numbers from existing translations. "
What I'm going to show you here might not be so obvious to you at first - but the 3 Wikipedia articles that I will excerpt parts from will show well enough that both the Book of Daniel in the Old Testament and the book of Revelation in the New Testament - have been incorrectly dated to the wrong eras by secular scholars - which has quite a few ramifications for both Jews and Christians alike - as I intend to show below.
However - since it may take up several commentary sections to cover the 2 Wikipedia article assertions about the dating of those particular two prophetic books - I've decided to place the follow up explanations in the 'reply' section below this comment and - since the 'proofs' of what I've found through my own research - and in the 3rd Wikipedia articles showing that the book of Daniel was not written as the secular scholars claim - in the era of Antiochus IV Epiphanes - i.e. around 164-167 BC - but actually in the 6th century BC - may take up several normal comment sections and be more confusing if I placed them above this comment - the 'reply' section below this comment will suffice - because I can make several replies - labelled part 1 part 2 etc covering the proofs of what I've found during my personal research over the years.
In the case of the book of Daniel, the author, was seemingly not Daniel himself - but the priest Ezra - who not only had a very high standing in the royal courts of of the Persian rulers of the post Babylonian captivity era- but at least one copy of 'the Law and the prophets' or Torah I believe you guys call it. This is just part- of the many things the secular scholars of Wikipedia articles have overlooked and not acknowledged and, as a result, because of either ignorance or bias, have subsequently drawn incorrect conclusions about the 'dating' of the book of Daniel in their article - titled; 'Book of Daniel'
In the case of the 'book of Revelation' and a Wikipedia article by that title - the 'dating' to the emperor Domitian's era of 91-96 AD is also spurious and incorrect but even less obvious - because the chapter division separates the one prophecy that internally dates the book of Revelation to having been actually written and completed - just before the 67-70 AD end of the Old Testament age - which would effectively make it - in theory - an Old Testament prophetic book. ;) Having been completed before the destruction of the second Temple and and Jerusalem in 70AD.
This above comment then - can be considered as 'part 1' with subsequent parts suitably labelled as part 2,3,4 and so on until I've covered all 'the proofs' that are needed to show the errors the secular scholars have made. Cheers mate ! [Typical Australian Greeting] ;)
Part 2
Hi there again. :)
Since the 'evidence' will take some time to gather together from all the research I've done over the years - into one place - as a 'whole' tapestry so to speak- the following explanations and proofs will - of necessity - be a work in progress - until I've completed it here at your You tube site - but feel free to share it with others - because it's all public domain info anyways. ;)
I am unable to write any more just yet because I have other things to do today. 8/1/2021 - so watch this space until tonight or tomorrow morning when I'm able to write more then - on this very important topic or subject of the 'correct' dating of Daniel and Revelation.
OK - back again. 9/01/2021 ;)
What era the scholars claim about the 91-96 AD date they believe the book of Revelation was written and completed in - is ‘wrong’ for the following reason that is due - almost entirely - to the ‘faulty’ or incoherent ‘division’ or separation of prophetic content from the whole theme or subject of that prophecy.
You would need to remove the chapter and verse numbering system invented in the 1200’s and 1500’s AD - from a particular prophecy in the book of Revelation - in order to see what I’m about to point out now, as follows:
The ‘small book’ prophecy of Revelation 10:8-11:2 as follows below - but with the chapter and verse numbering systems in place - but normally I would remove them to get my point across at how the chapter and verse numbering is in the ‘wrong’ place:
“8 And the voice which I heard from heaven spake unto me again, and said, Go and take the little book which is open in the hand of the angel which standeth upon the sea and upon the earth.
9 And I went unto the angel, and said unto him, Give me the little book. And he said unto me, Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey.
10 And I took the little book out of the angel's hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter.
11 And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings.
1 And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein.
2 But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.”
This is just one incidence of the Chapter division separating the prophetic ‘theme’ or subject from its entirety.
It can be clearly seen that the first two verses of Chapter 11 - are in fact - the tail end of the small book prophecy begun in 10:8 - once you remove the chapter and numbering system from it.
What this prophecy then shows, essentially - is that the apostle John was the author and that John had no recognition or knowledge of the destruction of the second temple or Jerusalem when He penned Chapters 10 & 11 therefore.
And, further, that the prophecy was announcing that the impending destruction of the temple and the treading underfoot of Jerusalem was about to occur.
This prophecy then - represents the ‘internal dating’ of the book of Revelation to the period just before the 67-70 AD destruction of the ‘holy city’ and the temple.
In Revelation chapter 1:19 the apostle John was commanded to: “Write the things which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be hereafter;”
IF the book of Revelation had been written in 91-96AD in Domitian’s era - as scholars claim - then John would have been disobeying his Saviour’s command in not stating or recording somewhere in the book of Revelation the things that he had seen and ‘the things which are’ - at the time of the writing of the book of Revelation.
So if the second temple had been destroyed along with Jerusalem at the time John wrote the book of Revelation - he would have been ignoring his saviour’s command to record that destruction - which he did not do, obviously - because it hadn’t happened at the time he wrote the book of Revelation.
My guess would be that John wrote Revelation sometime prior to the destruction of the second temple - perhaps a year or two before - because he would have needed to make copies of his prophetic book and have them distributed to seven early 1st century churches of Asia minor - to warn them of --- ‘the things to come hereafter.’
So the assumptions of the secular scholars as to the dating of the book of Revelation in the Wikipedia article titled; ‘Book of Revelation’ are blatantly false ones.
Not necessarily their fault tho - as I’ve just pointed out with the chapter divisions muddying somewhat - where prophecies begin and end.
It should now be obvious that a completely new prophecy - for our modern age - covering a different 3 ½ year period in which the two witnesses of Revelation 11 give their prophecies - during the prophet Zechariah’s chapter 12:1-9 and Zechariah 1-5 prophecy period of a modern day siege of Jerusalem in our future.

Great title. Unfortunately, his reasoning is bizarre. Maybe he's promoting hermaphrodism?
Am spiritually uplifted each time I listen to Rabbi teach. His teachings are insightful. Deep thoughts about life and living. Thank you Sir.!
Rabbi Fridman I think its time to start a series of " Did You Know" about Judaism ..for example Did you know that every time A Jewish person goes out of the rest room they say a blessing specially for that type of Healthiness ? Its one of those blessings you wisper quickly or mumble to yourself while runing on to your life but Oh Boy if you suffer from Kidney/ urine/ clean out system you sure do remember to bless God and ask for your health. Thats a small example of a connecting moment to God which is all about our Health .
You are so right!! I think about these amazing words in the prayer..."if one of these parts will be blocked...or if the closed will open...we will not be able to live for a moment....so thank you G-d.."
I am Catholic and after looking at how well people as groups are doing I decided to sit down and learn from others, specifically Mormons and Religious Jews due to their lower divorce, higher happiness, higher birthrates, etc. compared to Catholics.
I am happy I did. Seeing some videos of Rabbi Manis has really made me think and has left a significant positive effect on me. God bless Rabbi, I'll pray he'll have good health so he'll have countless more speeches to give, especially in these dark times.
Catholics have very low birth rate because they want and is mainly in the new ordo church, traditional catholic families have very high birth rate. My parents had 10 children, all of them are useful citizens with 0 drug or other addiction problems. All my parents friends, brothers and sisters had between 5 to 10 children and 0 divorce rate.
There are many good Catholics..I admire them as a secular Jew.
We all need to get along
I am friend to all who fear and love God, to all who follow his precepts, the label doesn't matter, the attitude of the heart and the course of life, that's what's important. I believe apostles Creed
i was cattholic now im a conservative evangelist, after i start the read the Holy Bible.
'GOd'
You are truly a mensch!
Lol! I had to look up mensch! Yes he truly is.
Holiness is simply being set apart, Set apart by following the covenant set before us, to be the light to the world. Showing the way to follow, God.
I respect you and agree,Rabbi. Thank you very much.
God bless Israel
I'm a Catholic but I love the teachings of Rabbi Manis Friedman. He doesn't shy away from discussing complicated and controversial topics and he does it in a simple but intelligent manner. May G-d give more him more years to live for him to bring enlightenment to Gentiles who seek new knowledge and clarification about the Bible.
God wants a sincere relationship with Him, knowingly of our humanity, our flaws. Thank you Rabbi. I love your conversational teachings, simple and relatable, and not endowed with Jewish theological and doctrinal technicalities, to impress us, your audiences with your "superior" knowledge'. I follow your podcasts. Very Interesting perspectives. God Bless from Alice, NT, Australia..
You are being very patient with those in the audience...kudos to you
Thank you.
1:08 the 7th commandment after the flood , be good to animals. Dear Amish people, is running puppy Mills being good to animals?
basically a honest opinion but not shared by all. there are lots of carnal atheists that are good moral people. not all religious people are good moral people.
as Hillel said; do unto others as you would have others do unto you. be a mentch!
Thank you Rabbi Manis! Yasher koach!
Excellent response to all questions. Thank you for your obedience to Father
Thank you so much Rabbi for sharing your teaching with The world. Thank you for your patience with the questions. It brings such insight.
Awesome Mennonite s such kind nice people.
Good you speak to them.
Truly Excellent
I am a Christian and I appreciate R. Friedman's insights, up to a point. But, he leaves out important points. I certainly wouldn't consider this video a proper overview of the Torah, but rather a misleading one. I'm not deliberately trying to be a troll here, but to offer a comment about what he leaves out of the discussion -- covenants. God made a covenant with Adam, and Eve and Adam broke the covenant and they were punished.
I appreciate what I read in Jewish commentaries about the Noahide covenant, because it does not seem to be very explicit in the Torah. Then, there are the other covenants with Abraham, etc. which are repeatedly broken by the Israelites. And, therein lies the problem with R. Friedman's easy going preaching against "religion." Ps. 119 is a song of thanksgiving for the revelation of God's laws. Everything I read sidesteps the Rabbi's "I didn't ask for this" approach to living and morality. I'm 72, and in the 1950's-era of Catholicism I was taught that God made me to know Him, love Him, and serve Him in this world and to look forward to living with God in the world to come. "Serve" God - that's not religion? Confession of sins, Repentance, sacrifice, atonement, etc, -- that's not "religion"? The rabbi doesn't wear eyeglasses, perhaps I need new ones.
Thru it lives we come to God and lose the desire for Sin...yes we develop and grow and then repent losing even the Desire for sin...we then Desire to be GOOD do Good..the striving to be GOOD....turning away from Sin of our own freewill coming back home to our Creator...

hell is for purifcation not for punishment and for all sin will be burned up and consumed .
Yes, I agree. Rabbi Mannis needs to speak to more of us Christians.

Why the un kosher ads? What’s the need? This is troublesome. GD can not be sold out!
Interesting. I had no idea that some Jews or all Jews? Believe in a type of purgatory doctrine. I also had no idea that the word "forever" in the OT Bible does not mean really forever in Hebrew. For exemple in Psalms 92 "It is Good to Praise".. A psalm song for the Shabbat.. In verse 8: Thought the wicked spring up like grass, and evildoers flourish, it is only to be ruined forever. 9 But You, Adonai, are exalted forever. 10 For behold, Your enemies ADONAI -behold Your enemies perish - all evildoers are scattered.
There is no conflict in the Sacred Scriptures about wicked punished forever and Adonai exalted forever. He is Almighty and does what He does we are dusts created by the Creator.. What reminds His conversation with Job. I will the interpretations of men yes. I am sorry but I am not able to rely in anyone's teachings that will come up with the idea that forever is not forever according to the Scriptures example above. For curiosity I am going to search the word forever in the OT Bible written in Hebrew. What reminds me Psalm 119 Learn Torah Letter by Letter. Verse 105 "Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path." Indeed Lord. I pray. Does forever remains forever in Your word? I know that I know it does because You said so long ago. Amen.
Sin was repent do not repeat go to your elders on questions your doing it
Am happy there are practicing Jewish faithful but I enjoy all Religions with love ❤️ that say God cause I just hear good
God created men and women to be I love with each other. Now this man says that is unholy? That's a lie. Love is holy. Togetherness is holy. Sex is holy. Not every marriage is holy. Some marriages, like the traditional Christian wedding is a pagan ritual that they do not tell people deliberately. I question the validity of everything this man has to say. Love is holy. God is love. Before you ever get married make sure you know what that ceremony is really all about. Christian marriage is pagan ritual. A deliberate deceit to the couple that they are ignorant of the tradition before participating in. Blind trust is unacceptable.

Not only is it commentary, it’s a false one
3 problems with the Holy Bible, but not the entire Bible. 1st, the Bible have missing histories, or books, 2nd, the Bible has been forged, and 3rd, wrong translation.

If God is One, would not all things ultimately in God?
