Even though it’s difficult I keep faith because I know God is real. I trust in you Father and keep faith even as I struggle to take care of my children. The past two years have been hard on me. I’m a single mom. I suffered an heart attack and I’m battling lupus. Both of my sons are autistic and to be honest Heavenly Father I’m so overwhelmed. I’m constantly struggling financially to buy groceries and struggling to pay my rent and now that I’m home schooling my sons I’m struggling to buy their school supplies. I want to give up. But even in hard times I know I must choose to have faith. No matter our struggle, we can turn to God. He knows us personally and can give us strength to overcome our challenges. I Trust in YOU LORD PLEASE HEAR MY PRAYERS!
Sounds like perhaps you may need to find a nice person to live with you and help you. There is good hearted men and women out there who will love you for your personality, not just your body. I hope everything goes well for you
🔥😑Wow how beautiful it is to travel through minds that I can understand and that align with my own! I love your teachings Rabbi! Thank you so very much for sharing these amazing and wonderful gems of the learned lessons of the sages! So very valuable to life as a whole! And the world truly needs its light! Thank you so much for sharing with us what apparently has been known for some time. I am thankful to know that I am not alone in these understandings! And that history can evidence their essence and valuable and truthful nature or natural order here on earth. So very deep and so very true!🔥
Brilliant talk Rabbi, thank you, deep and insightful, compassionate and thoughtful. I sometimes think bad things happen to good people like the holocaust because we exist on earth where free will happens and evil tendencies hurt purity and goodness. Its sad reflection of humanity as a whole but not the fault of the innocent souls. I do think they done a service like angels to humanity, they teach us the horrible reality of our actions, so for all who died in Holocaust, may their light shine eternal and they receive all the goodness for ever no more bad. I met a woman who was a survivor, she was beautiful she had a light and love in her face, so full of earnestness and intelligience and beauty, so what struck me is how can I be angry when she shows this example. She showed me goodness wins. Thanks this is a beautiful talk today, I wish I could shut my mouth and not hold onto my opinions when it comes to religion and politics, it seems sometimes this is hardwired into my being from a young age, thanks for making me want to try harder.
the rabbi totally understands the mechanics of creation. both atomic particles and conscience create equal and opposite reactions in this space. nothing that is created can be destroyed, only the form or its place in space can change. so anything you do has to move an equal amount of the opposite. in a huge mathematical reaction, like complex cogs in a world of zero coincidences. you reap what you sow. the lords word is your guide to the best passage to judgement. peace be upon all.
Rabbi, thank you so much for this explanation. Two days ago I cried while reading the weekly torah portion, Deuteronomy chapter 28, because I saw too many curses to the Jewish people, even though I am not Jewish. Curses too detailed, way too harsh to the most extreme, and even evil to the extent they were in my eyes. After watching your video I thought that there must be a difference between punishment against sins, and curses, since curses seem to be much more evil that punishments and do not seem balanced to the sin in my eyes. I have not read all the Tanakh but I have never seen as many blessings as there were curses in this chapter. I cried because sadly the Jewish people thought History have endured these curses already and it was not just some verses written in the Torah or even said by God, this is impossible for me to understand, it seems like God does let the worst of the worst happen when his commandments are not kept, and The Almighty Himself seems to bring himself the curses not just as a cause and effect in verse 49. Chapter 28 verse 45: " All these curses shall befall you; they shall pursue you and overtake you, until you are wiped out, because you did not heed your God יהוה and keep the commandments and laws that were enjoined upon you." In verse 49 " יהוה will bring a nation against you from afar, from the end of the earth, which will swoop down like the eagle-a nation whose language you do not understand " This verse shows God himself bringing nations against Israel. In my mind this is as if saying it was not just cause and effect, it was God's most severe punishment, severe in a way I did not thought God will ever go against his firstborn Exodus 4:22, mentions Israel as God's firstborn son. It sincerely makes me afraid of God and afraid of even my intrusive thoughts against God, thoughts I'd wish wouldn't show up in my mind. I started crying because the eagle was the symbol of Germany, and because it even goes further in the passage, Verse 53 of that same chapter " you shall eat your own issue, the flesh of your sons and daughters that your God יהוה has assigned to you, because of the desperate straits to which your enemy shall reduce you. " The rest of the curses were indeed horrible beyond imagination, but this curse is more than rock bottom. I still love Hashem. I have left two religions from the country I am from: Santeria, and various forms of Christianity for Hashem, no other God's before him, I have tried to follow the Noahide Laws and to be honest I have not fulfilled them always. One of the Noahide laws is to not curse the name of God, and I will never ever do that. I believe in God's mercy and divine judgement, but some dark places in my mind tell me that my judgement and my sins which I will not be able to overcome, sins like intrusive thoughts, sex outside marriage, and even when I stole a pack of chewing gum from the store could bring upon me curses that in my mind are much more severe than the sin that was committed. Since Israel did not commit the sins that were his curses, such as eating of the own issue, the flesh of your sons and daughters, Israel never forced any people to commit this curse, yet the verse says " you shall". I understand that there are laws that go against this, and that there are mitzvots that will safe Israel from these curses because the blessings are opposite to the curses. I also understand that these curses are from a cause and effect, but in some verses it seems like God himself brings like in verse 49 a nation against you, maybe that is still from cause and effect even when God himself is the one bringing the curses. Thank Hashem I am still on his side and I am not committing more sins, I know God has a merciful judgement stronger than anything we could even think of, but this was a blow to my soul and it could have easily pushed me to the evil side, and sadly other people who are not as close to Hashem may see this chapter and think that God's curses are much more harshly than the result of the sin, or the commandments not kept. I am scared to choose what to believe in, if to think these curses are cause and effect, or if to believe that as the text may suggest that it was God himself bringing the punishment, still thank you for your explanation, I will have to meditate much more, I still feel God's essence trying to safe me from my evil inclination and thoughts to do with this topic. Barukh Hashem
@@elenagrapa2178Gd rightfully chastised His Son, HE scattered Israel among the Heathen Nations and has long been with His Remnant Israel the Jews, who He has long been refining. The Nations are who refused the Report, they Sinned and on their own initiative INFLICTED the Suffering upon Gd's Servant Israel and Judah, the Jews. As Scripture tells, Gd's Wrath will visit the Nations, as David foretold Gd will Execute Justice upon the Nations into a heap of corpses, just as Isaiah tells how Gd will make the Nations to Serve and go by His Son Israel the Jews 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 Son Israel the Jews to Prostrate themselves at the soles of their feet.
I agree with rabbi mains god has made everything happen for me everything I asked him always got rewarded by god that’s what nothing will shake my faith tourds god
thank you Rabbi, as a gentile, I know this is true. I love your interpretaions of the Torah even though it's not intended for gentiles however some of us hear and listen.
Wow , my spiritual tradition is so different I enjoy the lecture and have learn many things from Rabbi Freidman by listening to many of his lectures Yet , someone else has paid the price for me He was cursed so I can be blessed He was found guilty so I can be adjudicated ( innocent) and is by my faith in him that I am made righteous in the eyes of the almighty father creator of heaven and earth Paul ( Saul ) would say that every-time I want to do the right thing I find myself doing the wrong thing But thank God he put another plan into effect Now I no longer live but he lives in me Paul or Saul before he converted was a devoted Jew who defended his faith to the death But he found the rest of the story , the missing link The law was given to acknowledge your sinful nature Without law there is no sin to break But now that we became aware of this sinful nature then what ? The lamb of God that takes the sins of the world grant us peace Shalom
It's very true. People who follow religious principles of either Christian or Judaic principles have much better well adjusted families, than those who don't.
@Alex.Kalashnik Just a couple questions. Not flaming or debate. Did you listen & watch the lesson? and What did you learn from the lesson? Thank you in advance.
@@Alex.Kalashnik Being honest, that's kind of vague. I'll help you with this. The sin (going against the laws of God) is the point. Being aware of sin (breaking the law) and what sin is,even the little things matter. For all have sinned and fall short of the Glory of God (Godliness). Why man needs a Savior.
@Alec_Cox GD declared HE alone is Savior and Besides HIM there is no other, HE said to do GOOD WORKS/DEEDS and if your Sins prove to be like CRIMSON, they will become WHITE as SNOW! No Sacrifice of any kind needed.
@@Cooks-r8y well. when my parents died is was horrible, but at the same time i did no longer have the stress and sadness of the end. the balance was restored. on the opposite, perhaps a lottery win might be seen initially as a blessing, but the changes in a previously happy normal life may become a a curse. the curse or blessing might be big and singular, but the opposite reaction small and in many smaller parts, like fragments.
if i think of all my past blessings and curses, in retrospect its quite easy to identify the opposites which were present in each situation. this is why i enjoy the torah lessons because its like invisible physics.@@Cooks-r8y
God never does injustice. Respected Rabbi, what Torrah says about LGBTQ? What happened to Lot and why? What does Torah say about adultery vs. what is common sin happening in Israel and all over the world? What about interest on monatey loans and what is happening in the banks today? And if Jews refuse to refrain from sins, God may pretty well punish them because they are chosen, and disobeying from chosen ones is intense because they are chosen to display examples.
gospod rabbi..moram vam povedati, da ima vsaki clovek pravico da ne verjame v boga..to je cloveska pravica.. ko mu bo zelo zelo tezko, se bo obrnil k BOGU in BOG mu bo pomagal..ker to nas caka..
Chapter 28 verse 45: " All these curses shall befall you; they shall pursue you and overtake you, until you are wiped out, because you did not heed your God יהוה and keep the commandments and laws that were enjoined upon you."
In verse 49 " יהוה will bring a nation against you from afar, from the end of the earth, which will swoop down like the eagle-a nation whose language you do not understand " Verse 53 of that same chapter " you shall eat your own issue, the flesh of your sons and daughters that your God יהוה has assigned to you, because of the desperate straits to which your enemy shall reduce you. " Does someone wants to talk about the verses in this chapter and help me understand

Even inactions have consequences. If someone sits and stares at a wall all day, there are still consequences. The person staring at the wall must eat. So, all the things that are involved in producing, distributing, and delivering the food are necessary for others to accomplish. The person must necessarily produce waste. So, you have people operating garbage trucks, etc. And lets assume that there are people that maintain the structure where the individual is located. And lets also assume that there are utilities that must be maintained. The lights, plumbing, climate control, etc. And there are people that manage the governments that allow people to stare at walls all day. Both actions and inactions have consequences.
Whats the punishment? Like turn the dial towards suffer vs prospering? Why would thee who created everything choose to make people suffer? Is that the best way to make people learn a lesson?
But if Iam not Jewish, how can I do what God wants, and if pple don't speak Hebrew, how can they understand the Thora. Joining your people like it was possible in the past is today extremely difficult because most Rabbis don't recommend it. So, what am I supposed to do?
@@herminepursch2470 I know. My question was about, if Iam not Jewish, how can I still follow God? I don't believe in Christianity or Islam etc... Because most of it is very hypocritical.
@@Mulan_007 - ♥️ Again, if you know within yourself that you are not called by God to convert fully to Judaism, to be under the Mosiac Covenant like learn the Hebrew language, keep holy days, sabbaths, ceremonial laws, rituals, civil laws found in the Torah, etc ... then you have the option to become a faithful *Ben Noach,* a righteous non-Jew. A *Ben Noach* is someone who has decided to keep the 7 Laws of Noah (the Rainbow Covenant), and *all other moral laws or moral obligations in the Tanakh that pertains to non-Jews.* In other words, a Ben Noach keeps the natural and moral laws of the universe to please and glorify God alone. ☝🏽 *Note, this is very important: A Ben Noach MUST obey God TO PLEASE God for the obedience to be recognized by God. You don't obey because its the wise thing to do, to avoid hell, or you have a selfish gain for attaining heaven, etc ... You obey because you love God and want to glorify God before your testing time on earth is done.* A faithful Ben Noach is assured eternal happiness in the new World to Come if he is faithful to the Noahide covenant. King David in Psalms 103:17-18 declares these inspiring words: *"But the mercy of the Lord is FROM EVERLASTING TO EVERLASTING upon them that fear Him, and His righteousness unto children's children; To such as keep His covenant, and to those that remember His commandments to do them."* ☝🏽So, only those who love God, departing from evil (sins) and doing good, *"will abide forever"* (see also Psalms 37:27). ❤🙏🏽🙂Shalom From a Ben Noach (Karaite type)
Rabbi Manis all my greatings. I would like to know, who abuse the TORAH what we must consider them and what they deserve( excluse HASHEM's Judgment)!?. Thank you so miuch.
Rabbi , I have lost all faith in God and in life, such is my pain.. I wish somehow that I could believe like some ppl on here....I have stopped believing bcos nothing but pain comes to me, Ive given up hoping for things to ever change.
What you should know about Curses, Witch craft is that to be involved in both or either you need to be free of God, who's character is Love. Which means, anyone on the planet can get involved in these activities. So to avoid yourself being in this situaltion you can silently chant you are aware you live in Humans naturally religious system, from which humans are free of God. Secondly try to merge with the Higher power and intelligence by 1.) When you can, continuously control, slow and deepen breathing, along with 2.) Pain recognition stretching (yoga.) Cardio vascular sport and exercise also incloves controlling breathing. When you merge you will notice, speed, humour, humility. Increased telepathy, maybe even increased control of your weather.

No Rabbi. There is a difference between punishment and consequences. Punishment has no lesson. It is purely misplaced anger. Consequences have a lesson that is available to learn so the mistake will not be repeated. Psalm 23... Thy rod and thy staff they comfort me... The rod is for correction, the staff is for direction. The comfort comes from knowing there IS a direction in the midst of correction. Both are necessary for an individual to be healthy emotionally. What good does it do to tell someone they are wrong, if you don't point them in the right direction? Which also means, before we go pointing people in a direction, we need to make sure WE are heading the right direction..👍 I learned THAT one the hard way. 🙋♀️😬🤦♀️
☝🏽👀 This is why we must be careful not to blindly accept as truth everything a rabbi says. God has given us a mind of reason and conscience to use and question matters. Everyone has the "image of God" in them from the beginning of creation. So, rabbis are not perfect. They can easily slip into errors. We must always question to verify claims, understand truths in the Tanakh for ourselves, and place our trust in God alone. 🙏🏽♥️Shalom
@@mtalk828 It's refreshing to see posts by one such as you who does NOT "blindly accept as truth everything a rabbi says". It's interesting to hear everyone here talk about sin and punishment based on generally accepted standards of morality. However, when the discussion turns to something that requires greater depth ... such as insights into the WHY of the Holocaust .... there is only a silence with no significant insights whatsoever. I had a discussion on the subject of the Holocaust at 770 Eastern Parkway (in Brooklyn) with a number of Rabbis there and was actually surprised at the lack of insights as their responses were really questionable (to say the least). Perhaps these Rabbis are best suited to preaching to the masses, the herd that doesn't question what these scholars say.
*The times we live in, the progress we have made... Or we are about to make... We haven't seen this happening since Noahidic times. I kind of like this implication, honestly..!*
I have a question for you I need to know ok I need to understand this young man won a fortune in 2014 2015 then a huge fortune in 2018 2019 through 2023 now a man and others went after his family his whole family torture and trying to kill. And took much of his fortune for about 7 years as of now he tried to for get not giving up but hopefully he would come back to him is it bad to continue to have hope to be able to still claim his hope and help people in need .is it wrong ?
Neljas Moosese raamat 6:Õnnistussõnad 22 Ja Issand rääkis Moosesega, öeldes: 23 „Räägi Aaroni ja ta poegadega ning ütle: Õnnistades Iisraeli lapsi, öelge neile nõnda: 24 Issand õnnistagu sind ja hoidku sind! 25 Issand lasku oma pale paista sinu peale ja olgu sulle armuline! 26 Issand tõstku oma pale sinu üle ja andku sulle rahu! 27 Nõnda pandagu minu nimi Iisraeli laste peale ja mina õnnistan neid!” Psalmid (Laulud)122:Palve Jeruusalemma hea käekäigu eest 1 Palveteekonna laul Taavetilt. Ma rõõmustasin, kui mulle öeldi: „Lähme Issanda kotta!” 2 Meie jalad seisid su väravais, Jeruusalemm. 3 Jeruusalemm, kes oled ehitatud nagu hästi kokkuliidetud linn, 4 kuhu läksid üles suguharud, Issanda suguharud tunnistuseks Iisraelile tänama Issanda nime. 5 Sest sinna on seatud aujärjed kohtumõistmiseks, aujärjed Taaveti kojale.
6 Paluge rahu Jeruusalemmale! Käigu hästi nende käsi, kes sind armastavad! 7 Rahu olgu su müüride vahel, hea käekäik su kuninglikes kodades! 8 Oma vendade ja oma sõprade pärast tahan ma nüüd öelda: Rahu sinule! 9 Issanda, meie Jumala koja pärast tahan ma otsida sulle head. Jesaja 30:Issand tõotab oma rahvale armu anda 18 Ja ometi ootab Issand, et teile armu anda, ja jääb kõrgeks, et teie peale halastada, sest Issand on õiguse Jumal, õndsad on kõik, kes teda ootavad. Hesekiel 37:Juuda ja Iisraeli taasühinemise ennustus 15 Ja mulle tuli Issanda sõna; ta ütles: 16 „Ja sina, inimesepoeg, võta enesele üks puutükk ja kirjuta selle peale: Juuda ja temaga liitunud Iisraeli lapsed. Võta siis veel üks puutükk ja kirjuta selle peale: Joosep-Efraimi puutükk, ja temaga liitunud kogu Iisraeli sugu. 17 Siis liida need teineteise külge üheks puutükiks, nõnda et need su käes moodustaksid terviku. 18 Kui siis su rahva lapsed sulle räägivad, küsides: „Kas sa ei seletaks meile, mida need sul tähendavad?”, 19 siis vasta neile: Nõnda ütleb Issand Jumal: Vaata, ma võtan Joosepi puu, mis on Efraimi käes, ja temaga liitunud suguharud ja panen need ühte Juuda puuga ning teen neist ühe puu, et neist saaks mu käes tervik. 20 Ja kui puutükid, mille peale on kirjutatud, on sinu käes nende silme ees, 21 siis räägi neile: Nõnda ütleb Issand Jumal: Vaata, ma võtan Iisraeli lapsed paganate seast, kuhu nad on läinud, ja kogun neid igalt poolt ning toon nad nende oma maale. 22 Ja ma teen nad üheks rahvaks seal maal, Iisraeli mägedel, ja üks kuningas on neile kõigile kuningaks. Nad ei ole siis enam kaks rahvast ega jagune enam kaheks kuningriigiks. 23 Nad ei rüveta endid enam oma ebajumalatega ja jäledustega ega oma mitmesuguste üleastumistega, vaid ma päästan nad kõigist nende asupaigust, kus nad on pattu teinud, ja puhastan nad. Ja nad on mulle rahvaks ja mina olen neile Jumalaks. 24 Ja mu sulane Taavet on neile kuningaks ja neil kõigil on üksainus karjane; nad käivad minu seaduste järgi ja peavad mu määrusi ning täidavad neid. 25 Ja nad elavad maal, mille ma andsin oma sulasele Jaakobile, kus teie vanemad on elanud; nad elavad seal igavesti, nemad ja nende lapsed ja nende laste lapsed, ja Taavet, mu sulane, on igavesti neile vürstiks. 26 Ja ma teen nendega rahulepingu, mis jääb igaveseks lepinguks nendega, ja ma paigutan neid ning teen nad arvukaks ja ma panen oma pühamu igavesti nende keskele. 27 Ja minu eluase on nende juures: mina olen neile Jumalaks ja nemad on mulle rahvaks. 28 Ja paganad peavad tundma, et mina olen Issand, kes pühitseb Iisraeli, kui mu pühamu on igavesti nende keskel.” Baaruk 5: Sest Jumal juhib Iisraeli rõõmuga oma auhiilguse valgusesse, halastuse ja õigusega, mis temalt tuleb.” Saalomoni Tarkuseraamat 11: Halastamise põhjus 23 Sina halastad aga kõigi peale, sest et sa suudad kõike, ja vaatad mööda inimeste pattudest, et nad meelt parandaksid. 24 Sest sina armastad kõike, mis olemas on, ega põlga midagi, mida sa oled teinud, sest sina ei olegi loonud midagi, mida sa ise vihkaksid. 25 Sest kuidas saaks midagi püsida, kui sina ei tahaks, või kuidas säiliks see, keda sina ei ole kutsunud? 26 Sina aga säästad kõiki, sellepärast et nad on sinu omad, Issand, hingede armastaja. Estri raamatu lisad 3:2 „Issand, Issand, kõigeväeline Kuningas! Sinul on meelevald kõige üle ja ei ole kedagi, kes võiks sulle vastu astuda, kui sina tahad Iisraeli päästa! Taanieli raamatu lisad 3: Kiitke, kõik Issanda teod, Issandat, laulge talle ja ülendage teda igavesti! 58 Kiitke, taevad, Issandat, laulge talle ja ülendage teda igavesti! 59 Kiitke, Issanda inglid, Issandat, laulge talle ja ülendage teda igavesti!
The most stunning passage about reward and punishment in the entire bible: 2 “Listen carefully to my words; let this be the consolation you give me. 3 Bear with me while I speak, and after I have spoken, mock on. 4 “Is my complaint directed to a human being? Why should I not be impatient? 5 Look at me and be appalled; clap your hand over your mouth. 6 When I think about this, I am terrified; trembling seizes my body. 7 Why do the wicked live on, growing old and increasing in power? 8 They see their children established around them, their offspring before their eyes. 9 Their homes are safe and free from fear; the rod of God is not on them. 10 Their bulls never fail to breed; their cows calve and do not miscarry. 11 They send forth their children as a flock; their little ones dance about. 12 They sing to the music of timbrel and lyre; they make merry to the sound of the pipe. 13 They spend their years in prosperity and go down to the grave in peace.[a] 14 Yet they say to God, ‘Leave us alone! We have no desire to know your ways. 15 Who is the Almighty, that we should serve him? What would we gain by praying to him?’ 16 But their prosperity is not in their own hands, so I stand aloof from the plans of the wicked. 17 “Yet how often is the lamp of the wicked snuffed out? How often does calamity come upon them, the fate God allots in his anger? 18 How often are they like straw before the wind, like chaff swept away by a gale? 19 It is said, ‘God stores up the punishment of the wicked for their children.’ Let him repay the wicked, so that they themselves will experience it! 20 Let their own eyes see their destruction; let them drink the cup of the wrath of the Almighty. 21 For what do they care about the families they leave behind when their allotted months come to an end? Job 21:2-21 NIV
@@mtalk828 - What was true when the book of Job was written, is true here on Labor Day, September 4, 2023: the wicked do, in fact, prosper. Job's friends are accusing Job that all the calamity that has come upon him has come about due to his unconfessed sin and wickedness. God is only being just in his dealings with Job, because Job himself brought all the calamity upon his own head, through his own evil. But we know before the story even begins that this is a lie. God sees Job as the most righteous person on earth, and yet he destroys his family and his wealth. Job, very accurately states that he, a RIGHTEOUS MAN, has been treated by God as a great sinner, and that the great sinners are living blessed lives! Job cannot understand this, but yet it's incredibly obvious. If Job were suffering due to his great sin, he would not have a complaint. But he's suffering only because God has ordained that he suffer. It's the greatest mystery on earth: "Why do bad things happen to good people?" And also it's corollary: "Why do so many good things happen to bad people?" In Job's story, divine reward and punishment breaks down entirely. It's an illustration of the old proverb: "No good deed goes unpunished." There are other stories throughout the bible like this, the other most famous one being the story of Joesph. So, what does this passage say to us? Looking for the just reward and punishment of people while alive on this earth is a waste of time. Reward and punishment does not come about while we are living life on this earth, ultimate reward and punishment comes only after our lives come to an end, and our spirit stands before the throne of God, who will accurately judge our lives at that time, and reward us according to what we have done during our life. The wicked, though blessed greatly by God, will be held to account for all those blessings they were given. And they will have to stand before the throne of the Holy One, and explain to him, in person, why they failed to bless others with the blessings they themself received. And the righteous, though cursed by God, will be held account for all those horrible things they were given. And they will have to stand before the throne of the Holy One, and explain to him, in person, how they continued to bless others even though they themselves were struggling with pain and suffering. While everything on this earth all seems to be gray and murky when it comes to living life, once you are standing before the Holy One, absolutely nothing will be gray and murky any longer. Everything you ever did and thought will be made known, and you will not be able to deceive yourself any longer about either your goodness or your sinfulness. At that point, it will all be only black and white, and there will be no gray.
@@ronzack4572 - Hmmm ... so *life is a test* to prove and develop us. And then after we die, we shall all be judged for all we said, did, and the thoughts we entertained. King Solomon spoke this judgement in Ecclesiastes 12:13-14, *"Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Reverence God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil."* Here, we see HaShem did not intend to justly punish and reward us in this life. Life is not to be a heaven on this finite earth. It is after we die, we will be rewarded. For how would God know who is truly His children if we are not proven by evil inclinations and oppositions? Even in Islam, a faith close to Judaism, it states in the Quran 29:2-3, *"Do people think that they will be let go merely by saying: 'We believe,' and that they will not be tested. For We indeed tested those who went before them? Allah will most certainly ascertain those who spoke the truth and those who lied."* And then it says again in Quran 2:155-157, *"We shall certainly test you by afflicting you with fear, hunger, loss of properties and lives and fruits. Give glad tidings, then, to those who remain patient; those who when any affliction smites them, they say: 'Verily, we belong to Allah, and it is to Him that we are destined to return.' Upon them will be the blessings and mercy of their Lord, and it is they who are rightly guided."* Here, we can see from the Quran that the idea of life being a test from God was taught for a very long time throughout muslim history, and Muslim's are in a unique way considered Ben Noachs. In Genesis we see where God picks the first fight between righteous people and wicked people. In Genesis 3:15, He states to the serpent, *"I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel."* Always remember that God is the Director and Source of all things. He is Ever-Wise and Ever-Merciful. As Noahides, we are to live our best for His glory and try not to negatively question the circumstances He has placed us in. We can learn alot from Job. 🙏🏽♥️Shalom
the roman cesars did also holocausts the christians because they were hated for following the word of god. The sinner is the killer. The killer kills because they want to be worshipped because of pride.
I don't understand why everything has to be focused on everyone's own personal life whether someone is Jewish or Gentile, When God Almighty made man in His Own Image and man is always complaining about his own burdens, What about God Almighty's burdens .why does each and every thing have to be about you when Everything should be about Him. It's not rocketscience!!!!!!!
Genesis 4 the Lord said to Cain why are you angry? Why is your face downcast? If you do what is right will you not be accepted? but if you do not do what is right then sin crouches at the door it desires to have you but you must rule over it
Satan in Judiasim is doing work he was created for. We are not at war with Satan. Satan proves your character to God. In comparison to Christianity also should note Hell is a feeling, not a place. The serpent in the Garden of Eden is not Satan and the Devil is not Satan either and when learning who Satan is do not look to anything from the New Testament Bible. To finish awnsering your question if Satan is good? The awnser I believe would be yes or maybe replace word "good" with "nessasary" for allowing us freewill in life. Freewill comes from being able to choose between doing good or doing evil. The very bad evil things in the world do not nessisarily come from Satan. When you have good in your heart Satan's job is harder. For people that have allowed evil in their heart job is easy and at some point Satan probably is not even involved and the evil things some are doing are just the evil from that person and Satan did not do anything to get the person to do wrong and that is their character. Very good questions. I recommend please research more on Judiasim it is beautiful. I am not Jewish you should know also.
In Judaism satan is an accusing angel, a tempter, or your evil inclination. Without the bad, you wouldn’t be able to distinguish the good. Satan in Judaism is equal to an act of evil. He’s not a living, breathing being that is at war with God, as Christians are taught.
The owner of the inheritance planted a vineyard. He in trusted His husbandmen to tend to it's growth and safe keeping. After In trusting the husbandmen with his property. And having full confidence in them, He then left and journeyed afar. At Harvest time He sent other in trusted husbandmen to gather fruit from the vine. Upon arrival and explaining to the in trusted husbandmen why they was there. The in trusted husbandmen beat them and sent them away. Again the owner of the Inheritance sent many others to gather the Fruit of the Vine and they treated them hostile, beat them, mistreated them 😢 killed them. Finally the Owner of the House sent His Son. Thinking surely they will respect my Son. When the in trusted husbandmen seen the Son arriving from a distance. They said to each other. This is the heir! Let's kill Him and steal the Inheritance for ourselves. So they captured Him, killed Him and threw Him out of the Vineyard. What then do you think the Owner of the Inheritance will do to those evil and vile husbandmen? He will utterly destroy them. Therefore the Punishment Always fits the Crime.
Christianity is who BURNED JEWS ALIVE over and over again, who INFLICTED 1700 +years of PERSECUTION, OPPRESSION and SLAUGHTER upon Gd's Son Israel the Jews, becoming their longest enduring and most DEADLIEST of all their Oppressors, to a T, it alone fits the description of the LAST BEAST, Enemy of Gd and His Son Israel the Jews!
But it's God who set those rules in same way he sets the gravity 😀. Yes it is not God personaly pulls us to earth but gravity law does. Yet it's God who set that law 😀
Not Jewish; Disclaimer: Wouldn’t the holocaust be better viewed through the lens of the book of Job? It is and was an atrocious act, and not defending or justifying it in anyway but it did lead to the creation of Israel. Probably wrong and hopefully didn’t offend anyone.
I assume you are referring to kapparos ritual? It isn't about the chicken; it's about charity. "Charity will save from death" Proverbs 10:2. Before Yom Kippur there is a custom called kapparos, which many use a chicken for, though some use fish or just money. Prayers are said and either the chicken or fish is donated to the hungry or cash is given to the poor.
I'm not Jewish, I'm a traditional Roman Catholic but I love to listen to Rabbi Mannis Friedman. 🙏
Same here,
Same here, I learned a lot from him than I did from any catholic priest or Christian book.
Wouldn't the world have been a better place had your predecessors not tried to convert, kill or otherwise suppress Judaism?
RABBI EVERY TIME I SEE YOUR TEACHINGS I AM BLOWN AWAY ! WOW THANK YOU FOR YOUR WISDOM !
God uses whom he chooses for whatever reason and purpose he chooses.
Even though it’s difficult I keep faith because I know God is real. I trust in you Father and keep faith even as I struggle to take care of my children. The past two years have been hard on me. I’m a single mom. I suffered an heart attack and I’m battling lupus. Both of my sons are autistic and to be honest Heavenly Father I’m so overwhelmed. I’m constantly struggling financially to buy groceries and struggling to pay my rent and now that I’m home schooling my sons I’m struggling to buy their school supplies. I want to give up. But even in hard times I know I must choose to have faith. No matter our struggle, we can turn to God. He knows us personally and can give us strength to overcome our challenges. I Trust in YOU LORD PLEASE HEAR MY PRAYERS!
Sounds like perhaps you may need to find a nice person to live with you and help you. There is good hearted men and women out there who will love you for your personality, not just your body.
I hope everything goes well for you
Toda Raba Rabbi Manis, Baruch Hasham, Thank G-d for your wisdom
Thank you Rabbi
God Bless you Rabbi. Such a relief. Thank you.
🔥😑Wow how beautiful it is to travel through minds that I can understand and that align with my own! I love your teachings Rabbi! Thank you so very much for sharing these amazing and wonderful gems of the learned lessons of the sages! So very valuable to life as a whole! And the world truly needs its light! Thank you so much for sharing with us what apparently has been known for some time. I am thankful to know that I am not alone in these understandings! And that history can evidence their essence and valuable and truthful nature or natural order here on earth. So very deep and so very true!🔥
Thank you Rabbi, as always.
Shalom. Thank you Rabbi
It's all about the Heart!!!!!!!
Shalom 🙏 , Thank You Rabbi 😊
Todah!!
Brilliant talk Rabbi, thank you, deep and insightful, compassionate and thoughtful. I sometimes think bad things happen to good people like the holocaust because we exist on earth where free will happens and evil tendencies hurt purity and goodness. Its sad reflection of humanity as a whole but not the fault of the innocent souls. I do think they done a service like angels to humanity, they teach us the horrible reality of our actions, so for all who died in Holocaust, may their light shine eternal and they receive all the goodness for ever no more bad. I met a woman who was a survivor, she was beautiful she had a light and love in her face, so full of earnestness and intelligience and beauty, so what struck me is how can I be angry when she shows this example. She showed me goodness wins. Thanks this is a beautiful talk today, I wish I could shut my mouth and not hold onto my opinions when it comes to religion and politics, it seems sometimes this is hardwired into my being from a young age, thanks for making me want to try harder.
Thank you so much
Thank you
the rabbi totally understands the mechanics of creation. both atomic particles and conscience create equal and opposite reactions in this space. nothing that is created can be destroyed, only the form or its place in space can change. so anything you do has to move an equal amount of the opposite. in a huge mathematical reaction, like complex cogs in a world of zero coincidences. you reap what you sow. the lords word is your guide to the best passage to judgement. peace be upon all.
Rabbi, thank you so much for this explanation.
Two days ago I cried while reading the weekly torah portion, Deuteronomy chapter 28, because I saw too many curses to the Jewish people, even though I am not Jewish. Curses too detailed, way too harsh to the most extreme, and even evil to the extent they were in my eyes. After watching your video I thought that there must be a difference between punishment against sins, and curses, since curses seem to be much more evil that punishments and do not seem balanced to the sin in my eyes. I have not read all the Tanakh but I have never seen as many blessings as there were curses in this chapter. I cried because sadly the Jewish people thought History have endured these curses already and it was not just some verses written in the Torah or even said by God, this is impossible for me to understand, it seems like God does let the worst of the worst happen when his commandments are not kept, and The Almighty Himself seems to bring himself the curses not just as a cause and effect in verse 49.
Chapter 28 verse 45: " All these curses shall befall you; they shall pursue you and overtake you, until you are wiped out, because you did not heed your God יהוה and keep the commandments and laws that were enjoined upon you."
In verse 49 " יהוה will bring a nation against you from afar, from the end of the earth, which will swoop down like the eagle-a nation whose language you do not understand "
This verse shows God himself bringing nations against Israel. In my mind this is as if saying it was not just cause and effect, it was God's most severe punishment, severe in a way I did not thought God will ever go against his firstborn Exodus 4:22, mentions Israel as God's firstborn son. It sincerely makes me afraid of God and afraid of even my intrusive thoughts against God, thoughts I'd wish wouldn't show up in my mind.
I started crying because the eagle was the symbol of Germany, and because it even goes further in the passage,
Verse 53 of that same chapter " you shall eat your own issue, the flesh of your sons and daughters that your God יהוה has assigned to you, because of the desperate straits to which your enemy shall reduce you. "
The rest of the curses were indeed horrible beyond imagination, but this curse is more than rock bottom. I still love Hashem. I have left two religions from the country I am from: Santeria, and various forms of Christianity for Hashem, no other God's before him, I have tried to follow the Noahide Laws and to be honest I have not fulfilled them always.
One of the Noahide laws is to not curse the name of God, and I will never ever do that. I believe in God's mercy and divine judgement, but some dark places in my mind tell me that my judgement and my sins which I will not be able to overcome, sins like intrusive thoughts, sex outside marriage, and even when I stole a pack of chewing gum from the store could bring upon me curses that in my mind are much more severe than the sin that was committed. Since Israel did not commit the sins that were his curses, such as eating of the own issue, the flesh of your sons and daughters, Israel never forced any people to commit this curse, yet the verse says " you shall".
I understand that there are laws that go against this, and that there are mitzvots that will safe Israel from these curses because the blessings are opposite to the curses. I also understand that these curses are from a cause and effect, but in some verses it seems like God himself brings like in verse 49 a nation against you, maybe that is still from cause and effect even when God himself is the one bringing the curses. Thank Hashem I am still on his side and I am not committing more sins, I know God has a merciful judgement stronger than anything we could even think of, but this was a blow to my soul and it could have easily pushed me to the evil side, and sadly other people who are not as close to Hashem may see this chapter and think that God's curses are much more harshly than the result of the sin, or the commandments not kept. I am scared to choose what to believe in, if to think these curses are cause and effect, or if to believe that as the text may suggest that it was God himself bringing the punishment, still thank you for your explanation, I will have to meditate much more, I still feel God's essence trying to safe me from my evil inclination and thoughts to do with this topic.

@@elenagrapa2178Gd rightfully chastised His Son, HE scattered Israel among the Heathen Nations and has long been with His Remnant Israel the Jews, who He has long been refining.
The Nations are who refused the Report, they Sinned and on their own initiative INFLICTED the Suffering upon Gd's Servant Israel and Judah, the Jews.
As Scripture tells, Gd's Wrath will visit the Nations, as David foretold Gd will Execute Justice upon the Nations into a heap of corpses, just as Isaiah tells how Gd will make the Nations to Serve and go by His Son Israel the Jews 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 Son Israel the Jews to Prostrate themselves at the soles of their feet.

It is for Gentile the same way. The Torah is for Jewish or not. ❤
A curse is like a gift too the Mashiach. You know gift should always be exchanged or traded. You get what you give, if you know what "I" mean.
Wow , my spiritual tradition is so different
I enjoy the lecture and have learn many things from Rabbi Freidman by listening to many of his lectures
Yet , someone else has paid the price for me
He was cursed so I can be blessed
He was found guilty so I can be adjudicated ( innocent)
and is by my faith in him that I am made righteous in the eyes of the almighty father creator of heaven and earth
Paul ( Saul ) would say that every-time I want to do the right thing I find myself doing the wrong thing
But thank God he put another plan into effect
Now I no longer live but he lives in me
Paul or Saul before he converted was a devoted Jew who defended his faith to the death
But he found the rest of the story , the missing link
The law was given to acknowledge your sinful nature
Without law there is no sin to break
But now that we became aware of this sinful nature then what ?
The lamb of God that takes the sins of the world grant us peace

Thank you in advance.
Yes

I'm glad that you listened and watched. But, What did you learn from the lesson?
@@Alec_Cox It’s hard to summarize because there were so many different things.
@@Alex.Kalashnik Being honest, that's kind of vague. I'll help you with this. The sin (going against the laws of God) is the point. Being aware of sin (breaking the law) and what sin is,even the little things matter.
For all have sinned and fall short of the Glory of God (Godliness).
Why man needs a Savior.
@Alec_Cox GD declared HE alone is Savior and Besides HIM there is no other, HE said to do GOOD WORKS/DEEDS and if your Sins prove to be like CRIMSON, they will become WHITE as SNOW!
No Sacrifice of any kind needed.
Blessings and curses
inside every curse is a blessing and vice versa.
@@888ssss and how that works?
@@Cooks-r8y well. when my parents died is was horrible, but at the same time i did no longer have the stress and sadness of the end. the balance was restored.
on the opposite, perhaps a lottery win might be seen initially as a blessing, but the changes in a previously happy normal life may become a a curse.
the curse or blessing might be big and singular, but the opposite reaction small and in many smaller parts, like fragments.
@@888ssss thank you 🙏 very well explained . It’s true what you say.
if i think of all my past blessings and curses, in retrospect its quite easy to identify the opposites which were present in each situation. this is why i enjoy the torah lessons because its like invisible physics.@@Cooks-r8y
The suffering of the innocent saves the world....
God never does injustice. Respected Rabbi, what Torrah says about LGBTQ? What happened to Lot and why? What does Torah say about adultery vs. what is common sin happening in Israel and all over the world? What about interest on monatey loans and what is happening in the banks today? And if Jews refuse to refrain from sins, God may pretty well punish them because they are chosen, and disobeying from chosen ones is intense because they are chosen to display examples.
WHat is reward punishment?

Even inactions have consequences. If someone sits and stares at a wall all day, there are still consequences. The person staring at the wall must eat. So, all the things that are involved in producing, distributing, and delivering the food are necessary for others to accomplish. The person must necessarily produce waste. So, you have people operating garbage trucks, etc. And lets assume that there are people that maintain the structure where the individual is located. And lets also assume that there are utilities that must be maintained. The lights, plumbing, climate control, etc. And there are people that manage the governments that allow people to stare at walls all day. Both actions and inactions have consequences.
Whats the punishment? Like turn the dial towards suffer vs prospering? Why would thee who created everything choose to make people suffer? Is that the best way to make people learn a lesson?
He doesn't we cause it, listen again

But if Iam not Jewish, how can I do what God wants, and if pple don't speak Hebrew, how can they understand the Thora. Joining your people like it was possible in the past is today extremely difficult because most Rabbis don't recommend it. So, what am I supposed to do?
The Old Testament in the Bible.
Is the Jewish teachings.
@@herminepursch2470 I know. My question was about, if Iam not Jewish, how can I still follow God? I don't believe in Christianity or Islam etc... Because most of it is very hypocritical.
@@Mulan_007 - ♥️ Again, if you know within yourself that you are not called by God to convert fully to Judaism, to be under the Mosiac Covenant like learn the Hebrew language, keep holy days, sabbaths, ceremonial laws, rituals, civil laws found in the Torah, etc ... then you have the option to become a faithful *Ben Noach,* a righteous non-Jew.
A *Ben Noach* is someone who has decided to keep the 7 Laws of Noah (the Rainbow Covenant), and *all other moral laws or moral obligations in the Tanakh that pertains to non-Jews.* In other words, a Ben Noach keeps the natural and moral laws of the universe to please and glorify God alone.
☝🏽 *Note, this is very important: A Ben Noach MUST obey God TO PLEASE God for the obedience to be recognized by God. You don't obey because its the wise thing to do, to avoid hell, or you have a selfish gain for attaining heaven, etc ... You obey because you love God and want to glorify God before your testing time on earth is done.*
A faithful Ben Noach is assured eternal happiness in the new World to Come if he is faithful to the Noahide covenant. King David in Psalms 103:17-18 declares these inspiring words: *"But the mercy of the Lord is FROM EVERLASTING TO EVERLASTING upon them that fear Him, and His righteousness unto children's children; To such as keep His covenant, and to those that remember His commandments to do them."*
☝🏽So, only those who love God, departing from evil (sins) and doing good, *"will abide forever"* (see also Psalms 37:27).
❤🙏🏽🙂Shalom

What you should know about Curses, Witch craft is that to be involved in both or either you need to be free of God, who's character is Love. Which means, anyone on the planet can get involved in these activities.
So to avoid yourself being in this situaltion you can silently chant you are aware you live in Humans naturally religious system, from which humans are free of God. Secondly try to merge with the Higher power and intelligence by 1.) When you can, continuously control, slow and deepen breathing, along with 2.) Pain recognition stretching (yoga.) Cardio vascular sport and exercise also incloves controlling breathing.
When you merge you will notice, speed, humour, humility. Increased telepathy, maybe even increased control of your weather.

No Rabbi. There is a difference between punishment and consequences. Punishment has no lesson. It is purely misplaced anger.
Consequences have a lesson that is available to learn so the mistake will not be repeated.
Psalm 23...
Thy rod and thy staff they comfort me...
The rod is for correction, the staff is for direction. The comfort comes from knowing there IS a direction in the midst of correction.
Both are necessary for an individual to be healthy emotionally.
What good does it do to tell someone they are wrong, if you don't point them in the right direction?
Which also means, before we go pointing people in a direction, we need to make sure WE are heading the right direction..👍
I learned THAT one the hard way. 🙋♀️😬🤦♀️
☝🏽👀 This is why we must be careful not to blindly accept as truth everything a rabbi says. God has given us a mind of reason and conscience to use and question matters. Everyone has the "image of God" in them from the beginning of creation. So, rabbis are not perfect. They can easily slip into errors. We must always question to verify claims, understand truths in the Tanakh for ourselves, and place our trust in God alone.
🙏🏽♥️Shalom
No one knows all the truth except God,
@@mtalk828 It's refreshing to see posts by one such as you who does NOT "blindly accept as truth everything a rabbi says". It's interesting to hear everyone here talk about sin and punishment based on generally accepted standards of morality. However, when the discussion turns to something that requires greater depth ... such as insights into the WHY of the Holocaust .... there is only a silence with no significant insights whatsoever. I had a discussion on the subject of the Holocaust at 770 Eastern Parkway (in Brooklyn) with a number of Rabbis there and was actually surprised at the lack of insights as their responses were really questionable (to say the least). Perhaps these Rabbis are best suited to preaching to the masses, the herd that doesn't question what these scholars say.

Neljas Moosese raamat 6:Õnnistussõnad
22 Ja Issand rääkis Moosesega, öeldes:
23 „Räägi Aaroni ja ta poegadega ning ütle: Õnnistades Iisraeli
lapsi, öelge neile nõnda:
24 Issand õnnistagu sind ja hoidku sind!
25 Issand lasku oma pale paista sinu peale ja olgu sulle armuline!
26 Issand tõstku oma pale sinu üle ja andku sulle rahu!
27 Nõnda pandagu minu nimi Iisraeli laste peale ja mina õnnistan
neid!”
Psalmid (Laulud)122:Palve Jeruusalemma hea käekäigu eest
1 Palveteekonna laul Taavetilt.
Ma rõõmustasin, kui mulle öeldi:
„Lähme Issanda kotta!”
2 Meie jalad seisid su väravais,
Jeruusalemm.
3 Jeruusalemm, kes oled ehitatud
nagu hästi kokkuliidetud linn,
4 kuhu läksid üles suguharud,
Issanda suguharud tunnistuseks Iisraelile
tänama Issanda nime.
5 Sest sinna on seatud aujärjed kohtumõistmiseks,
aujärjed Taaveti kojale.
6 Paluge rahu Jeruusalemmale!
Käigu hästi nende käsi,
kes sind armastavad!
7 Rahu olgu su müüride vahel,
hea käekäik su kuninglikes kodades!
8 Oma vendade ja oma sõprade pärast
tahan ma nüüd öelda: Rahu sinule!
9 Issanda, meie Jumala koja pärast
tahan ma otsida sulle head.
Jesaja 30:Issand tõotab oma rahvale armu anda
18 Ja ometi ootab Issand,

õndsad on kõik, kes teda ootavad.
Hesekiel 37:Juuda ja Iisraeli taasühinemise ennustus
15 Ja mulle tuli Issanda sõna; ta ütles:
16 „Ja sina, inimesepoeg, võta enesele üks puutükk ja kirjuta
selle peale: Juuda ja temaga liitunud Iisraeli lapsed. Võta siis
veel üks puutükk ja kirjuta selle peale: Joosep-Efraimi puutükk,
ja temaga liitunud kogu Iisraeli sugu.
17 Siis liida need teineteise külge üheks puutükiks, nõnda et
need su käes moodustaksid terviku.
18 Kui siis su rahva lapsed sulle räägivad, küsides: „Kas sa
ei seletaks meile, mida need sul tähendavad?”,
19 siis vasta neile: Nõnda ütleb Issand Jumal: Vaata, ma
võtan Joosepi puu, mis on Efraimi käes, ja temaga liitunud
suguharud ja panen need ühte Juuda puuga ning teen neist ühe
puu, et neist saaks mu käes tervik.
20 Ja kui puutükid, mille peale on kirjutatud, on sinu käes
nende silme ees,
21 siis räägi neile: Nõnda ütleb Issand Jumal: Vaata, ma
võtan Iisraeli lapsed paganate seast, kuhu nad on läinud, ja
kogun neid igalt poolt ning toon nad nende oma maale.
22 Ja ma teen nad üheks rahvaks seal maal, Iisraeli mägedel,
ja üks kuningas on neile kõigile kuningaks. Nad ei ole siis enam
kaks rahvast ega jagune enam kaheks kuningriigiks.
23 Nad ei rüveta endid enam oma ebajumalatega ja jäledustega
ega oma mitmesuguste üleastumistega, vaid ma päästan nad kõigist
nende asupaigust, kus nad on pattu teinud, ja puhastan nad. Ja
nad on mulle rahvaks ja mina olen neile Jumalaks.
24 Ja mu sulane Taavet on neile kuningaks ja neil kõigil on
üksainus karjane; nad käivad minu seaduste järgi ja peavad
mu määrusi ning täidavad neid.
25 Ja nad elavad maal, mille ma andsin oma sulasele
Jaakobile, kus teie vanemad on elanud; nad elavad seal igavesti,
nemad ja nende lapsed ja nende laste lapsed, ja Taavet, mu
sulane, on igavesti neile vürstiks.
26 Ja ma teen nendega rahulepingu, mis jääb igaveseks
lepinguks nendega, ja ma paigutan neid ning teen nad arvukaks ja
ma panen oma pühamu igavesti nende keskele.
27 Ja minu eluase on nende juures: mina olen neile Jumalaks ja
nemad on mulle rahvaks.
28 Ja paganad peavad tundma, et mina olen Issand, kes
pühitseb Iisraeli, kui mu pühamu on igavesti nende keskel.”

11: Halastamise põhjus
23 Sina halastad aga kõigi peale,
sest et sa suudad kõike,
ja vaatad mööda inimeste pattudest,
et nad meelt parandaksid.
24 Sest sina armastad kõike, mis olemas on,
ega põlga midagi, mida sa oled teinud,
sest sina ei olegi loonud midagi,
mida sa ise vihkaksid.
25 Sest kuidas saaks midagi püsida,
kui sina ei tahaks,
või kuidas säiliks see,
keda sina ei ole kutsunud?
26 Sina aga säästad kõiki,
sellepärast et nad on sinu omad,
Issand, hingede armastaja.

3 Bear with me while I speak,
and after I have spoken, mock on.
4 “Is my complaint directed to a human being?
Why should I not be impatient?
5 Look at me and be appalled;
clap your hand over your mouth.
6 When I think about this, I am terrified;
trembling seizes my body.
7 Why do the wicked live on,
growing old and increasing in power?
8 They see their children established around them,
their offspring before their eyes.
9 Their homes are safe and free from fear;
the rod of God is not on them.
10 Their bulls never fail to breed;
their cows calve and do not miscarry.
11 They send forth their children as a flock;
their little ones dance about.
12 They sing to the music of timbrel and lyre;
they make merry to the sound of the pipe.
13 They spend their years in prosperity
and go down to the grave in peace.[a]
14 Yet they say to God, ‘Leave us alone!
We have no desire to know your ways.
15 Who is the Almighty, that we should serve him?
What would we gain by praying to him?’
16 But their prosperity is not in their own hands,
so I stand aloof from the plans of the wicked.
17 “Yet how often is the lamp of the wicked snuffed out?
How often does calamity come upon them,
the fate God allots in his anger?
18 How often are they like straw before the wind,
like chaff swept away by a gale?
19 It is said, ‘God stores up the punishment of the wicked for their children.’
Let him repay the wicked, so that they themselves will experience it!
20 Let their own eyes see their destruction;
let them drink the cup of the wrath of the Almighty.
21 For what do they care about the families they leave behind
when their allotted months come to an end?
Job 21:2-21 NIV
In sum, what would you say this passage is saying to us today? 🤔
@@mtalk828 - What was true when the book of Job was written, is true here on Labor Day, September 4, 2023: the wicked do, in fact, prosper.
Job's friends are accusing Job that all the calamity that has come upon him has come about due to his unconfessed sin and wickedness. God is only being just in his dealings with Job, because Job himself brought all the calamity upon his own head, through his own evil.
But we know before the story even begins that this is a lie. God sees Job as the most righteous person on earth, and yet he destroys his family and his wealth.
Job, very accurately states that he, a RIGHTEOUS MAN, has been treated by God as a great sinner, and that the great sinners are living blessed lives! Job cannot understand this, but yet it's incredibly obvious.
If Job were suffering due to his great sin, he would not have a complaint. But he's suffering only because God has ordained that he suffer.
It's the greatest mystery on earth: "Why do bad things happen to good people?" And also it's corollary: "Why do so many good things happen to bad people?"
In Job's story, divine reward and punishment breaks down entirely. It's an illustration of the old proverb: "No good deed goes unpunished." There are other stories throughout the bible like this, the other most famous one being the story of Joesph.
So, what does this passage say to us?
Looking for the just reward and punishment of people while alive on this earth is a waste of time. Reward and punishment does not come about while we are living life on this earth, ultimate reward and punishment comes only after our lives come to an end, and our spirit stands before the throne of God, who will accurately judge our lives at that time, and reward us according to what we have done during our life.
The wicked, though blessed greatly by God, will be held to account for all those blessings they were given. And they will have to stand before the throne of the Holy One, and explain to him, in person, why they failed to bless others with the blessings they themself received.
And the righteous, though cursed by God, will be held account for all those horrible things they were given. And they will have to stand before the throne of the Holy One, and explain to him, in person, how they continued to bless others even though they themselves were struggling with pain and suffering.
While everything on this earth all seems to be gray and murky when it comes to living life, once you are standing before the Holy One, absolutely nothing will be gray and murky any longer. Everything you ever did and thought will be made known, and you will not be able to deceive yourself any longer about either your goodness or your sinfulness.
At that point, it will all be only black and white, and there will be no gray.
@@ronzack4572 - Hmmm ... so *life is a test* to prove and develop us. And then after we die, we shall all be judged for all we said, did, and the thoughts we entertained. King Solomon spoke this judgement in Ecclesiastes 12:13-14, *"Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Reverence God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil."*
Here, we see HaShem did not intend to justly punish and reward us in this life. Life is not to be a heaven on this finite earth. It is after we die, we will be rewarded. For how would God know who is truly His children if we are not proven by evil inclinations and oppositions?
Even in Islam, a faith close to Judaism, it states in the Quran 29:2-3, *"Do people think that they will be let go merely by saying: 'We believe,' and that they will not be tested. For We indeed tested those who went before them? Allah will most certainly ascertain those who spoke the truth and those who lied."* And then it says again in Quran 2:155-157, *"We shall certainly test you by afflicting you with fear, hunger, loss of properties and lives and fruits. Give glad tidings, then, to those who remain patient; those who when any affliction smites them, they say: 'Verily, we belong to Allah, and it is to Him that we are destined to return.' Upon them will be the blessings and mercy of their Lord, and it is they who are rightly guided."*
Here, we can see from the Quran that the idea of life being a test from God was taught for a very long time throughout muslim history, and Muslim's are in a unique way considered Ben Noachs.
In Genesis we see where God picks the first fight between righteous people and wicked people. In Genesis 3:15, He states to the serpent, *"I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel."*
Always remember that God is the Director and Source of all things. He is Ever-Wise and Ever-Merciful. As Noahides, we are to live our best for His glory and try not to negatively question the circumstances He has placed us in. We can learn alot from Job.

Karma is real. And the punishment fits the crime.
As David foretold, Gd will Execute Justice upon the Nations into a heap of corpses.
the roman cesars did also holocausts the christians because they were hated for following the word of god. The sinner is the killer. The killer kills because they want to be worshipped because of pride.

Sometimes it's like being

So,

Authority..is sin..in this❓
I don't understand why everything has to be focused on everyone's own personal life whether someone is Jewish or Gentile, When God Almighty made man in His Own Image and man is always complaining about his own burdens, What about God Almighty's burdens .why does each and every thing have to be about you when Everything should be about Him. It's not rocketscience!!!!!!!
Plus it is easier to stop committing adultery than it is to stop speaking profanity towards another
That depends It might be easier for you. We are all different. We all have Different sins

Genesis 4 the Lord said to Cain why are you angry? Why is your face downcast? If you do what is right will you not be accepted? but if you do not do what is right then sin crouches at the door it desires to have you but you must rule over it
Why to threaten people??
You look at someone who is sinful. It is only your position if prompted, to help.
I don't know anyone that's not sinful
In Judaism, is Satan good?
Satan in Judiasim is doing work he was created for. We are not at war with Satan. Satan proves your character to God. In comparison to Christianity also should note Hell is a feeling, not a place. The serpent in the Garden of Eden is not Satan and the Devil is not Satan either and when learning who Satan is do not look to anything from the New Testament Bible. To finish awnsering your question if Satan is good? The awnser I believe would be yes or maybe replace word "good" with "nessasary" for allowing us freewill in life. Freewill comes from being able to choose between doing good or doing evil. The very bad evil things in the world do not nessisarily come from Satan. When you have good in your heart Satan's job is harder. For people that have allowed evil in their heart job is easy and at some point Satan probably is not even involved and the evil things some are doing are just the evil from that person and Satan did not do anything to get the person to do wrong and that is their character. Very good questions. I recommend please research more on Judiasim it is beautiful. I am not Jewish you should know also.
In Judaism satan is an accusing angel, a tempter, or your evil inclination. Without the bad, you wouldn’t be able to distinguish the good.
Satan in Judaism is equal to an act of evil. He’s not a living, breathing being that is at war with God, as Christians are taught.
read the Book of Job

The owner of the inheritance planted a vineyard. He in trusted His husbandmen to tend to it's growth and safe keeping. After In trusting the husbandmen with his property. And having full confidence in them, He then left and journeyed afar. At Harvest time He sent other in trusted husbandmen to gather fruit from the vine. Upon arrival and explaining to the in trusted husbandmen why they was there. The in trusted husbandmen beat them and sent them away. Again the owner of the Inheritance sent many others to gather the Fruit of the Vine and they treated them hostile, beat them, mistreated them 😢 killed them. Finally the Owner of the House sent His Son. Thinking surely they will respect my Son. When the in trusted husbandmen seen the Son arriving from a distance. They said to each other. This is the heir! Let's kill Him and steal the Inheritance for ourselves. So they captured Him, killed Him and threw Him out of the Vineyard. What then do you think the Owner of the Inheritance will do to those evil and vile husbandmen? He will utterly destroy them. Therefore the Punishment Always fits the Crime.
And you shall say to Pharaoh, 'So said the Lord, "My firstborn son is Israel."
Exodus 4:22
Christianity is who BURNED JEWS ALIVE over and over again, who INFLICTED 1700 +years of PERSECUTION, OPPRESSION and SLAUGHTER upon Gd's Son Israel the Jews, becoming their longest enduring and most DEADLIEST of all their Oppressors, to a T, it alone fits the description of the LAST BEAST, Enemy of Gd and His Son Israel the Jews!
As Jeremiah prophesied, the Gentiles will come to see that they have inherited only Lies, Emptiness in which there is nothing of any avail!
But it's God who set those rules in same way he sets the gravity 😀.
Yes it is not God personaly pulls us to earth but gravity law does.
Yet it's God who set that law 😀

Wouldn’t the holocaust be better viewed through the lens of the book of Job?
It is and was an atrocious act, and not defending or justifying it in anyway but it did lead to the creation of Israel.
Probably wrong and hopefully didn’t offend anyone.

Oh ..now you have curses....🤣🤣🤣..you still uses chickens to wipe away your sins.🤣
I assume you are referring to kapparos ritual? It isn't about the chicken; it's about charity. "Charity will save from death" Proverbs 10:2. Before Yom Kippur there is a custom called kapparos, which many use a chicken for, though some use fish or just money. Prayers are said and either the chicken or fish is donated to the hungry or cash is given to the poor.
