- A Christian caller, who has been listening to Rabbi Tovia Singer for a long time, is wrestling with the following questions: Who was Jesus? Is it possible that he rose from the dead? And how did Christianity evolved so much and turned the entire world upside down? If not the messiah, then who was Jesus?

This is unbelivable as a Christian born into this religion for the last 10 years of my life I have prayed and had an intate love for the Jewish people which brought the Hebrew bible into my life to find the truth. Then in recent memory I found Rabbi Tovia and it has completed my journey toward Baruch Hashem. Thank you and may the Holy Hashem bless this channel and Rabbi Tovia. This is excatly what happened to me as a Christian.
Welcome back, my brother! Glad to see that you have returned to the ONLY UNDISPUTED LORD, G-D, SAVIOUR, REDEEMER, MASTER AND CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE, HASHEM! Much love to you and may Hashem always bless you!
Awesome! And congratulations, for not being spiritually blind.
Hellow Tovia, I have listened to a couple of presentations and you seem to also read and understand the Christian Bible.
What is your comment on Romans 11?

Wonderfully laid out dear Rabbi!! That is what happened to me back in 2008, AND never looked back. B"H💓
@Abraham Mani: NOWHERE did God ever mention the name "Jesus/Yeshua" to us. That name ONLY appears in the false, pagan "New Testament", that is NOT scripture that was given to mankind by God.
God DOESN'T need help from YOU and your false, pagan teachings, that preach AGAINST what He said to us at Mt. Sinai!! Go preach to atheists in a CHRISTIAN comment section!
@@07silvali irrefutable proof that you don't even listen to these videos and just copy paste wasting everyone time 😴
Rabbi, today it is our turn to bless you: May God be with you, May God bless you with health and strength, May God bless your efforts with success, May God shine on you and through you So that your teachings illuminate all those you touch
Thank you so much Rabbi, I just want to affirm what you said about blessing Israel. For years I was stuck in idolatry, AKA Christianity, but when I begin to ask God to bless Israel to bless his land and his people he began to open my eyes. Bless G-D and bless his people
I don't need to thank the Rabbi, but another Teacher (Dr. Richard Carrier) led me out of all of these old-time Religions. I now don't believe in any of it, and I have never been better.

REPENT for BLASPHEMY that Christianity is idolatry..And people like yu are deceived coz yu don't pray for understanding that CHRIST is GOD!

Read book of NUMBERS 11: Verse 25..
And Compare same to book of Prophet DANIEL 7: Verse 13.
I'm not a jew, I come from AFRICA but by powers in Heaven, TORAH is my soul food..
The Rabbi must have been reading my mail. My leaving the church happened exactly how he describes. HaShem in His mercy brought me to the Truth concerning Jesus.
I mean obviously nobody should convert to Judaism now.
@Jennifer ... You left the Church and turned to Judaisam. But, I left the Church and turned to non-belief. When you are outside of it, the Religious look crazy, just like teenagers arguing about what color is the best lightsaber for a Jedi.

Thank you Rabbi
best talk ever.... addressing the bad or misspoken question. :-)
thank you so much. that has been my question and concern as well.
Why am I stuck watching these videos? I’m not religious.
Why?
I am gay. Most Jews are ok with that so nope.
How you doing these days?
The Rabbi speaks with a lot of "controlled" passion and one can tell he deeply holds his beliefs as true. I understand how he would want to fight to preserve his religion against these aggressive Christian Evangelist's and I wish him success. I'm a 3X ex-Christian and I have used some of the rabbi's info from the videos in debates with Christians. It's amazing to me when Christians tell me I spend too much time studying the Old Test. and always wanted me to focus to the 4 gospels and the resurrection of Jesus. This particular video does a good job addressing the problem of prematurely accepting Jesus and risking idolatry. I'm an Atheist but find many Christians get wrapped up with cult type behaviors which is scary. Wrap up cult-Christianity with right-wing politics, sprinkle in some ignorance (okay, a lot) and you see what it fueled in Washington D.C. Just saying...out!
@@kunedoman well said 👏
If you recall reading the 9th and 10th chapters of William James' "Varieties of Religious Experience", he mentions sudden and involuntary conversion experiences. Among those conversions was the one of the Jewish man Marie-Alphonse Ratisbonne who became Christian missionary in Israel. I had one of those experiences. That is why I am a Christian. It is not because of a "I love Jesus" syndrome from having been indoctrinated with that attitude. At the time of my conversion, I was an agnostic and really had no religion.
The song you play at the end of your videos, could you please put a link or the Title of the song so I can download it please?. Thank you 💜
Adom Olam. Don't know who's singing that version.
Wow ... I am motivated to go through my house, and every crucifix, picture, and image I see of Jesus and Mary, throw them away! They are idols! I serve a G-d who is everywhere and can never be compared to any "likeness of anything in heaven and in earth" (Exodus 20).
Praise be to the Creator alone, blessed be "His" most excellent name.
MR. FITTA - Friend, if the pictures are used for idolatry, I'm afraid it does matter to Gd if you possess them. He declares,
"In all things that I have said unto you be circumspect: and MAKE NO MENTION of the name of other gods, neither let it be heard out of thy mouth ...
... thou shalt utterly overthrow them, and quite break down their images" (Exodus 23:13, 24)
*In other words, all these reminders of false gods (like jesus), which offends our Creator and only Gd ... What do you do with them? The Torah declares, get rid of them! Break them down from your walls, don't have them in their homes, in your car, on your phones, don't even mention them, or mention the name "jesus"! In other words, follow the example of Old Testament heroes by holding no memory of an idol whatsoever!
Jesus was not the Messiah either. The Christian Bibles have Old Testament passages translated in such a way to make it appear that the prophecies refer to Jesus. If you speak to a orthodox Rabbi or Jewish teachers on the original Hebrew of the prophecies, you will learn that Messiah ben David hasnt come yet, and he is not to call himself God, nor accept worship. He will be a faithful servant of the Most High, will have children, and will rebuild the Temple. He will cause world peace
That's because you including Fitta, were raised and taught from the Christian Bible's mistranslated Old Testament. That is why you would read Jesus in these passages. Moreover you follow the New Testament, which has been corrupted.
Personally, I don't follow the Bible, but I give more credence to the original Jewish Bible confirmed by the discovery of the Dead Sea scrolls.
But again ... like I said, I don't blame you for being programmed in believing the Christian Bible is the inspired Word of God :))
Mwaterfall. This is why I said you do not know the Father, everything God does he knows already, eg psalm 139:16...."All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be"...
David knew the Lord, and the Spirit of the Lord was upon him.
Eph 1:4 "For he(God ) chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight..."
the words in him are significant, because they show we(believers) are united with God through Christ,
he lives inn us and his power to live according to his word is available to us.
Those such as yourself I could even dare to call pagan or atheist, as you have an idol- a self created deity, or none as your god.
Like you said( about fooling some people but not others), but I will use Gods word, do not be deceived God cannot be mocked , you will reap what you sow.
*M Calkins:* The "New Testament", is NOT scripture that was given by God, therefore, anything that comes out of it is false, and IRRELEVANT. The ONLY scripture that was given to man by God is the Torah/Tanach. Do some honest research on the origins of Christianity - I did - it's a REAL eye-opener!
As always, Rabbi you make too much sense🙏🏾🧠👁
@JESUS CHRIST IS GOD: If you do some honest research on how Christianity started, you WILL discover that "Jesus" didn't say ONE word that is attributed to him in the false, pagan "NT", (that absolutely DID NOT come from God!) since he was already DEAD for at least 20 YEARS (some say a LOT longer!) before it was written. Yet they quote him word-for-word - impossible! Just try to remember what YOU said yesterday, word-for-word - again, impossible!
PLEASE do the research and stop spewing your false, pagan lies in this comment section! You WON'T make even ONE convert here, since we already KNOW what God's Truth is. You need to go to a CHRISTIAN video, and try to convert some atheists! Either that, or BE QUIET and listen VERY CAREFULLY to what the rabbi is teaching us, as commanded by God in Deut. 17:8-11.
This rabbi don't know who Jesus Christ is, and therefore cannot answer a question straightly. And Christian that have a relationship with Jesus Christ will experience him. Check these few scriptures: Genesis 3: 15 -- God said that " the seed of the woman will crush the head of the serpent " satan was using the serpent. Isaiah 7: 14 God said He will give Israel a sign, " the virgin will concieve and bear a son, and shall call his name immanuel " this was fulfilled in Matt 1:23, Isaiah 9: 6 tells about this child, " Unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given, and the government will be upon his shoulder, His name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. The jewish people rejected their messiah and wree scattered for 1900 years but the rest of the world receive the grace of God through The Lord Jesus Christ. There is much more....
@@07silvali
All of that proves Jesus is not God
@@orringreene3410
God said to the woman and the serpent, I will put hatred between your seed ,and her seed/ they had offspring together.
one of the seeds/children, will crush the other......this happened when cain killed abel.
This is also why the woman is to only desire her husband......and why she has labour pains........ her punishments were pertaining to the ways of birth- because through her sin she produced offspring.
she is called the mother of all the living - this includes the good seed, and The Bad Seed.
I'm in love with this information. Thank you, HaShem.
Exodus Chapter 23 שְׁמוֹת
13) And in all things that I have said unto you take ye heed; and make no mention of the name of other gods, neither let it be heard out of thy mouth.
Thank you Rabbi. It's not so difficult. After so many years of being raised a Catholic with my father, I began my journey back to Judaism. My Jewish mother was proud. My journey began when I looked up the meaning of Xmas (JC's supposed B-day). All I found was paganism in Xmas and Easter. While in the military, we visited the Vatican and witnessed numerous idols displaying sun worship. The Torah also says that Shabbat is the day of rest. Why then should the church make Sunday the day of rest? Just because supposedly, JC resurrected on it? Even as a child, I was made fun of and marked as "The JC killer" because I was Jewish. The Torah and the NT did not make sense as neither did the priest or any other pastors. How can JC do away with "The Old Covenant"? I surely remember seeing rainbows when it rained confirming the Covenant that Hashem made with Noah concerning to never destroying the earth again with rain. Hashem made other covenants with Yisrael but it NEVER meant that the prior covenants were to be abolished as X-tanity conveys. Here is my final thesis on the subject. Who was JC? This video puts it in complete detail, the lies and deception that has transpired through the ages. I'm thankful that my eyes have been clearly opened and I have returned to the G-D of my fathers Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. I follow HIS Torah and obey HIS Mitzvots. Not because I have to but because I chose to. I love Hashem and will seek Him and Him only forever. My life has never been so complete and I'm richly satisfied to have returned to Judaism.

@@brianscott2160 he did answer, but he was trying to be sensitive about a very sensitive subject.
WHO IS HASHEM ??
He probably does have his own personal opinion on who Jesus was. But It might be too offensive to utter on the radio.
Search the archives. There are several videos on topics connected to this question. Between the, you can gauge what the Rabbi thinks. He believes that Jesus was a real person, primarily because of the bizarre retcons found in the latter two Gospels. The need to explain how he is from both Jerusalem and Bethlehem and the like. He may have been an unorthodox (pun!) rabbi who was preaching an uprising against the Roman’s. He may have claimed to be g-d as part of his cult of personality. He may have been crucified, but likely not nailed to the cross. And the woman who saw him rise from the grave... well, that Mary was also the woman from whom he exorcized demons. The rabbi contends that Christian interpretation of demons is a naive understanding of mental illness... take from that what you will.
Put all of these ideas together (and add a few that I’m sure I’ve missed) and you begin to get a picture. Jesus was a person who may have been involved in some revolutionary thought or action who was then used by later proto-church leaders to build a new religion based largely on willful mistranslation of Torah texts.
this rabbi is not making sense .
I thought that the official version was “he was just a nazirite”
The Christian Jesus was the antichrist
No, this rabbi dodged the question. Also, all this talk about retcons in the New Testament - what about those in the Old Testament? Those are far more "bizarre" and extensive. The revision of the Old by authors J, E, P, D and many others is so much more propagandistic than anything in the New. And your quick assessment of who Jesus
was is shallow. Jesus had no interest whatsoever in bringing down the Roman Empire. What matters is the really big stuff He said that makes Him impossible to dismiss, ie.
the prophecy that "Jerusalem will be handed over to the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles is up" - and this happened in 1967. Jesus was greater than all the prophets in the Old Testament combined. He painted an accurate description of the end of the world and His return in the Olivet Discourse. Both you and this rabbi (who I admire and respect) are not even skimming the surface of who He was.
I am from Pakistan. And once I met a young ex-Muslim boy who said to me that I did not become Christian because of Christians (sadly) but by experiencing Jesus in my life that He is the true Massiah. And a country like Pakistan, there is not only a few but many who accepted Him with no fear. They didn't come to Christianity after any girl or money but some miracles happened in their lives.
@Cousin It Amen. Praise be to our Lord Jesus Christ. These miracles in our lives proves that Jesus is the true Messiah and Saviour. God bless and best wishes to you my brother.💓
@Cousin It Amen
are you ex muslim or born as a christian?
I'm born a Christian, but that doesn't mean anything unless I have experienced Christ in my life. And I believe that Jesus is my Messiah and Saviour who is sitting right to Father in Heaven.
Unfortunately those who oppose Jesus have never had an encounter with Him. How i wish they would because then they would not need anyone to introduce him to them. They would recognize him immediately because after all He is their creator. Oh Lord Jesus i pray that you reveal your self to all including Toviah singer.
If you do not believe the words of Jesus then every other way will not matter.
Question, not a comment... Rabbi Singer, can you please tell me the name of the song is at the end of this video, and also who is singing it.
Smart stuff.
@Abraham Mani I agree with Dr. Singer.
I had to figure out the hard way. That actually hurt the most is how much Catholics and Christians and whatever else ripped apart are Bibles. And I had to find out from a UA-camr by actually pointing out the verses that they actually messed with
Catholic is Christian
@@americaisajokenow1090 Catholics are FAR from Christian
@@nomadicrecovery1586 nah man lol. They’re Christian’s, and they have the longest history too in Christianity. You just don’t like them lol. Orthodox, Catholics, and Protestants are all Christians. You can’t escape that. That’s like a Jew saying “nah ultra Orthodox aren’t real Jews” lol.
@@theflipper404 no

They have added so much garbage. There isn’t much left
You are 100% correct regarding the light shown to the people and the recognition of a disparity between conscious and fundamental teachings, such as Commandment 1, and the discrepancy between the Trinity and idolatry, regarding the exception rather than the rule, as well as the blessing of Israel
I really enjoy the way Rabbi Tovia puts things so we can relate. As an xtian I put the jesus file into Matthew 10. Namely starting down there around verse 32 and then carrying on. But just read the whole thing so that you can get the context. Matt 8:21,22 not nice either. You should be able to find out all about Jesus from what we can gather of what people have said that he said that he said that he said, is written in red in most NT greek script. That should give anyone wondering some kind of idea maybe if he was possibly if those words or even true. I put Jesus in the "Things I don't have to worry about anymore". Along with the "rapture, trib, second coming revelations stuff. All that automatically gets deleted after sufficient study of Torah and Judaism. The G-d file is still as it was only improved and moved to the only icon on the desktop now. I had to crop and edited the
G-d file to remove the confusing trinitarian idolatry. That part goes to the trash bin and then empty trash... confirm.... yes... ok that part is good G-d is ONE. Not a man. Numbers 23:19. Thanks for more insight Rabbi Singer
Noahide for non jew. Helping Christian non jews change.
@abraham mani after further studies. No one can prove that god, jesus, osiris, krishna, zues, apollos, peter, paul or any of those stories are real or true. They are all just stories handed down from old times. The kings and rulers of the world have used the superstition of the masses to control them with these stories. I don't believe in any of the religious stuff anymore. To many men put god and the Bible as a sole purpose for mass genocide and murder. Far to many wars and bloodshed have stemmed from religion and those archaic belief systems. We are smarter than that and smarter than the so called god. We have to do what is good and right for mankind not godkind. We get our moral compass from society not the bible. Why give god credit for efforts i have made and goals i have accomplished. I don't worry about the next life because there is no proof that it exists. Religions and churches Beware that you have been fooled and controlled by the cult. They want your money and control just like the govt because they are the secret tax and govt themselves. Full of corruption and greed.
the second commandment to the prophet moses was
2. You shall have no other gods beside Me. You shall not make for yourself any carved idol, or any likeness of any thing... you shall not bow down to them, nor serve them...
does jesus have a likeness to man, and erected as an idol for worship? have christinaity not broken the second commandment of god?
Rabbi is so right. The letters and accounts in the new testament were originally written by the followers of Jesus, who were all Jews, strictly Orthodox. These writings were however collected, altered and compiled centuries later, not by Jews, but by antisemitic men. Men who hated Jews. We therefore are forbidden to accept their work as truth. They are considered false witnesses.
Ecclesiastes 4-9:12 Two are better than one,
because they have a good return for their work
If one falls down, his friend can help him up.
But pity the man who falls and has no one to help him up!
Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm.
But how can one keep warm alone?
(3) Though one may be overpowered,
two can defend themselves.
A cord of three strands is not quickly broken. The messiah and the high priest will stand together when Israel stands behind them because 3 cords are not so easily broken and what good is one each by themself ?
Son of Man saved Daniel from the fire. Ezekiel speaks too of Son of Man. Christians do not love a dead person but a live being who lives in them. The woman at Jacob's well and Jesus speaks about the living water. This eternal spring overflows out of the heart, literally. As in Hebrews, where it says there is pressure on the heart and discipline by a loving Father, that is felt too. Jesus said, he "knocks...and He ad the Father will dine with (the repented faithful)." God let's His presence known. These truths are why Christians can say without a doubt that Jesus is the Messiah. Also, as stated in the bible there is a peace that passes understanding, Christians have this peace. Jesus is alive and at the right hand of God.
A lot of it is very hidden, deep in the mind, and one is not aware of it. Habit brings it into speech, songs, especially worship songs. One can change the words but that probably won't erase the original feeling. But what Rabbi Singer exposes, the lies and mis-quoting of Scriptures, the Truth about it all in every aspect, after a while wears it down and you find your mind has been cleansed.
Shalom Rabbi, great message and reply. All so true in my case as well. Been converted to Christianity after having found out about my Jewish roots, sad but true... After years of active evangelical life, a missionary active in assisting the return of Russian Jews told me about Sharansky. Shortening the story, I continued a very active missionary life and eventually went to seminary, graduated and took the facts to test. But as you said, an inner work begun within, turning my interests to the Torah, the Almighty and Haaretz. Eventually it was a deeper study of the whole book of Jeremiah against the so called fulfilled prophecies and the Pauline monstrosities which made me drop Christianity and deconvert. I can't believe I've spent two decades believing all that rubbish, abomination indeed. So here am I again, Jewish and proud in a rather confused British diaspora, too conservative for the reformed, but not enough orthodox for the Orthodox 😇 I'll keep in touch as much as I can.
Nephesh Yehudi. Big mistake, may God forgive you and call you to repentance.
Because now you are in the perilous position of Ezekiel chapter 18, and whilst then they had the sacrificial system to validate repentance,
you have nothing, and so will remain under the wrath of God.
BTW some have fallen away from the faith becoming atheists, and will swear their lives are much better now.
So don't think your feelings are a guide, you are deceived and need to wake up out of this malaise.
Oh, also, nothing is stopping you from wearing your Jewish colors with pride, just not in the footsteps of the unbelieving Rabbi's who in actual fact are enemies of God, his Messiah and the gospel he has given us.
Well done bro! I'm not a Jew but a Noahide and Jew in heart. Christianity is a corrupt system. They have even corrupted your holy scriptures to point to a pagan deity. Peace :)

Rabbi I'm following you and watching your videos. My question what really the name of the Creator whom. MOSES with in mouth Sinai.
Some say the name of the Almighty Father is YAHAWA(YHWH) is Paleo Hebrew text. And because the name of the creator name'name is YAHAWA so the Son they CALL it YAHAWASHI (The Messiah)
Thank you if you answer my question.
This is the Gospel of the REAL JESUS of the Bible:
JESUS CHRIST died for you and rose again on the third day. HE did this so that you would be forgiven of your sins and have a relationship with God. If we reject the Gospel of Jesus Christ, we will go to ETERNAL SUFFERING, in the lake of fire. But, if you repent of your sins (turn away from them) receive and trust in JESUS CHRIST, you will be forgiven by HIM and you will be guaranteed ETERNAL LIFE!!! Do it today before you enter ETERNITY!! Tomorrow could be too LATE!!

@@07silvali forgiveness comes from G-d. I read the same Torah Jesus read, in Hebrew, as he did, so I’m good. There is much that non Hebrew speakers do not interpret correctly. Jesus, a Jew, would never place himself above G-d. Do you pray to statues and paintings? If so, you are an idol worshipper. Sorry to break the news. Think about it.
@@stephaniereif7790 You allways, confuse Christianity with Catholicism. Catholics worship statues, paints and even the Pope, among other heresies. So, no, I`m a Christian. I worship, ONLY, the God of the Bible, no artifacts, no images, no earthly man, not even a cross. And because, I follow the The Bible, THE TRUE WORD OF GOD, He tells us, to repent and put our trust in Jesus Christ, to follow Him as Lord. Repentance means a change of mind which means to turn from a life following sin to a life following Christ. Salvation is a free gift and it cannot be earned, no one can be perfectly moral on their own, it is impossible, this is the only way to be in the presence of God in heaven. If we reject God we will go to eternal suffering in the lake of fire. It is important to reiterate that we cannot save ourselves, it is the gift of God for one to be saved. Cry out to God to have mercy on you, plead with God to save you.

@@07silvali
All of that actually proves Jesus is not God
@@07silvali BTW do not mix NT with OT. Analyze the OT as jews have their entire lives and even understanding the Hebrew language it was written in and learning the oral teachings of it. You dont know anything about the OT if you are claiming Jesus as G-d. They are seperate entities and strangely enough the NT doesnt even seem to understand the basic principle that to be a descendent you must have that biological father, not a virgin birth. And again didnt even fulfill the prophecies. Jesus spoke aramaic and was born in israel, yet greeks wrote the NT or the people felt they had to suddenly write in Greek? Do you ever question in your life why arent christians taught biblical hebrew and koine greek so they can fully encompass and understand their entire history and bible? Because many christians who seem to finally do so or even just research find christianity to be massively flawed and almost built upon lies.
Oddly the NT says they fulfill the messianic prophecy by having Jesus born in Bethlehem yet this was a massive misunderstanding on their part of the OT verse that it points to. The verse spoke of King David, not that the messiah will be born of Bethlehem but they he will descend from King David. Somehow the jews of this time didnt seem to understand their own religion or book well enough? Even if about Bethlehem, Mary had to move to bethlehem to fulfill it even. Thats insanely easy to fulfill a prophecy by doing it yourself. Issue is again, Jesus didnt fulfill any of the other prophecies and isnt even a descendent of David. At this point you have to ask if Jesus even existed or was somehow totally warped and unrelated to anything christianity makes it out to be, because the religion is insanely flawed.
Question? If Jesus is not the Messiah, then who or what is? What should we look for?
Don't look. Moshiach will come when the world is fit for Hashem to reside here. Do mitzvot 😊
This explanation is perfect !!

@Abraham Mani
First of all, read Isaiah 9:6 in the actual Hebrew. That text is about Hezekiah.
Here is the correct translation of that text:
“For a child has been born to us, a son given to us, and the authority is upon his shoulder, the wondrous adviser, the mighty God, the everlasting Father, called his name “the prince of peace.”
This is said right after hezekiah went to the temple and prayed to the Most High to be saved from the Assyrian invasion. Soon after the angel of the Lord came down and slew 185,000 soldiers of Assyria which forced their king to go back to his land. Remember, every nation around Jerusalem was destroyed and only Jerusalem remained intact. Imagine 185,000 soldiers surrounding you, screaming and shouting all day. Despite all that, King Hezekiah told the people to remain faithful and at the end the Most High delivered. This is what the text was about. It wasn’t a prophecy.
Please show me a prophecy about Jesus dying and resurrection and second coming in the Old Testament. Also, where is the peace and prosperity during the time of the messiah?
Let us be real. The Old Testament doesn’t mention anything about Jesus. If it did, it wouldn’t be this hidden.
Isaiah 53 isn’t about Jesus either. It is about Israel.
What does Jesus look like?
I would have asked someone who claimed Christ then left the faith to proclaim another faith, "How can one have the Spirit of Christ in them and NOT know Jesus lives".
You think Jesus doesn't answer back in regard to prayer? He does . We know who He is. We know He was sent by God. We know He Lives.
Sir, because this person did not have the true Spirit of Christ. I believe that if God gave you the true Spirit, He will not take it away but thats only as far as my limited knowledge goes.
There is an enigma about the person known as Jesus: he was a threat to the contemporary religious establishment of his time.
That threat was so great that they had him crucified. So what was the real reason for wanting him to be murdered?
Daniel 9:25-26 THE MESSIAH HAD TO COME BEFORE THE DESTRUCTION OF THE TEMPLE
25 “Know and understand this: From the time the word goes out to restore and rebuild Jerusalem until the Anointed One,[a] the ruler, comes, there will be seven ‘sevens,’ and sixty-two ‘sevens.’ It will be rebuilt with streets and a trench, but in times of trouble. 26 After the sixty-two ‘sevens,’ the Anointed One will be put to death and will have nothing.[b] The people of the ruler who will come will destroy the city and the sanctuary. The end will come like a flood: War will continue until the end, and desolations have been decreed.
To all those who couldn’t watch the entire video he unequivocally says Jesus was no one.
@Abraham Mani: NOWHERE did God ever mention the name "Jesus/Yeshua" to us. That name ONLY appears in the false, pagan "New Testament", that is NOT scripture that was given to mankind by God.
God DOESN'T need help from YOU and your false, pagan teachings, that preach AGAINST what He said to us at Mt. Sinai!! Go preach to atheists in a CHRISTIAN comment section!
@@janishart5128 ignorant one, God said in Isaiah 7: 14 that He will gave Isreal a sign, " the virgin will concieve and bear a son and shall call his name immanuel, fulfilled in Matt 1:23, and Isaiah 9:6 Unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given, His name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Who is this talking about? Read John 14: 7:10, either Jesus Christ is God or He is a lunatic. You decide for yourself because he cannot be a good man and say such thing. Who really is Jesus. Your rabbi don't have the Spirit of God, all he have is scriptures that are selected to support his view. He cannot use the whole counsel of God, he must avoid some scriptures.
@@orringreene3410: No, that's NOT what that verse says! You are working from a twisted, mistranslated, taken out of context, bastardized VERSION of what God actually said to us (i.e. "OT"), since the "blind guides" you learn from REFUSED to learn the original Hebrew given to us by God, leaving them in profound darkness as to what God actually said to us. PLEASE buy yourself a Hebrew Bible (says "TANACH" on the cover), so you can see for yourself what God actually said to us at Mt. Sinai, and learn from the Rabbis, as commanded by God in Deut. 17:8-11.
Good to have someone like Rabbi Singer telling people the truth
We are all agreed that he is not HaMashiach - not the rabbinic idea of Mashiach and not the true Mashiach.
I think we need to suspend all speculation about who he was. Having seen how Gentiles, even those who don't mean to distort what I say with malice and prejudice, just don't get what I'm saying even with hearing it first hand and in their own language when I speak English for English-speaking audiences; I am absolutely sure that Christians have no idea what, if anything, Yeshu, if he was a real person and not a composite of various religious figures, said and intended.
It is forbidden in Halakha to speak about someone who is not present. Even complimenting someone who is not present can lead to someone being tempted to say something bad. Let's don't do it. We will yet hear what he has to say from him. Until such time, I, for one, reserve all judgement of him. I don't trust the Christian bible and neither do I trust the version of the Talmud that we have.
He never answered the question so then who is Jesus?
Brilliant. At some point, if he or she is truly honest, they will cry out to G-d for truth, and He will open their hearts to the G-d of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the G-d of Jesus, too, the G-d of all Jews, and He will show them that I alone am G-d, not Jesus, not any creature or other being. I am G-d. There is no other. This is the truth and finally at some point all will come to it.
Harold Goodman have you ever critically studied the four gospels? Not the epistles...but the gospels? Or are you regurgitating what you've heard from Rabbi Tovia?
I did this 6 months ago! You are right on point Mr. Goodman.
+Harold Goodman I notice you write G-d a lot. Undoubtedly you feel you are being properly reverential and obeying the 3rd commandment. However, God is not the divine name, it's merely a title and regardless, if the Creator did not want people to use his name, he would not have told them what it was, commanded his people to use it and inspired it to be in the Hebrew Scriptures nearly 7,000 times. It is the Devil who does not want people to use God's name.
(Jeremiah 23:27) They intend to make my people forget my name
The 3rd Commandment says (Exodus 20:7) “You must not take up the name of Jehovah your God in a worthless way, Whether one uses YHWH (Hebrew) or Jehovah (English), this is the name referred to. The Encyclopaedia Judaica says that “the avoidance of pronouncing the name YHWH . . . was caused by a misunderstanding of the Third Commandment.”
The religion of the Jews was hijacked and taken over by the Pharisees after the destruction of the Temple and the end of the Priesthood and sacrificial arrangement. Evidently, during the first and second centuries C.E., a prohibition regarding the use of God’s name took hold. The Mishnah (a collection of rabbinic commentaries that became the foundation of the Talmud) states that “one who pronounces the divine name as it is spelt” has no portion in the future earthly Paradise promised by God.
What was the origin of such a prohibition? Some claim that the Jews considered the name of God too sacred for imperfect humans to pronounce. Eventually, there was a hesitancy even to write the name. Jewish prohibitions regarding God’s personal name still survive. Many continue to refer to the Tetragrammaton as the “Ineffable Name” and the “Unutterable Name.” Some even avoid writing out the term “God,” substituting a dash for one or more letters. For instance, when they wish to write the English word “God,” some actually write “G-d.” God is not the divine name however, YHWH is. "God" is a description, not a name, which is even used for false gods. This is going overboard and is not Biblical. Satan does not want people to use God's name and thus influenced the Jews and later Christian apostates to ban it's use due to misapplying the 3rd commandment. The Creator did not have to tell us his name, but he did and then inspired it to be used by Bible writers.
Use of God's personal name was very common during Bible times as shown by YHWH being in the Hebrew scriptures nearly 7,000 times. It was even commonly used in everyday greetings. For example, notice Boaz, Ruth's future husband talking with his workers. (Ruth 2:4) Boʹaz arrived from Bethʹle·hem and said to the harvesters: “Jehovah be with you.” And they replied: “Jehovah bless you.” God commands us to use his name. (Psalms 105:1) Give thanks to Jehovah, call on his name
(Psalms 83:18) May people know that you, whose name is Jehovah, You alone are the Most High over all the earth.
Although God has many titles, he has given himself only one name.
(Exodus 3:15) Then God said once more to Moses: “This is what you are to say to the Israelites, ‘Jehovah the God of your forefathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you.’ This is my name forever, and this is how I am to be remembered from generation to generation.
Jehovah translates as "He who causes to become" meaning he can cause his purposes to come true and can makes himself or his servants be whatever is necessary to accomplish his will. This is a wonderful name and understanding it's meaning helps us know him better. In fact knowing and using God's personal name is vital for salvation.
(Romans 10:13)(Joel 2:32) For “everyone who calls on the name of Jehovah will be saved.” 14 However, how will they call on him if they have not put faith in him? How, in turn, will they put faith in him about whom they have not heard? How, in turn, will they hear without someone to preach?
Here is a nice video and article discussing the importance of using God's name.
www.jw.org/en/publications/books/good-news-from-god/who-is-god/video-gods-name/ www.jw.org/en/bible-teachings/questions/who-is-jehovah/
+castcreator A criticism without detail or explanation is useless.
What argument are you making, that God's name is only his name in Hebrew, that it ceases to be his name when translated? Why? And yet, another fellow responding stuck a - dash into it (J-hovah) so apparently he felt that it was God's name to the extent he felt uncomfortable not modifying it.
I am writing in English. Thus I write Jesus rather than Yeshua (or other forms in Hebrew (Yeshoshua, etc.)
This does not cease to be his name simply because of being put into English letters.
(The meaning remains the same "Jehovah is Salvation")
Similarly, Jehovah has been the accepted version of YHWH in English for hundreds of years, from since there has been an English language. The meaning "I shall cause to be" or "He who causes to become" remains the same in any language.
"lol" is a condescending insult.
If you have legitimate criticism express it intelligently rather than be smug.
@abraham mani no!

Jeremiah 7 is behind the New Testament story of Jesus cleansing the Temple and the evangelists based their story on that chapter. The Synoptic Gospels even quote Jeremiah 7 (the Temple is made a "den of thiefs").The scholar Geza Vermes is good on 'who was Jesus?' He wrote the book "Jesus the Jew". According to Vermes Jesus was a chasid who taught about God, did some exorcisms and gained a following. Paul and the earlier Church turned him into a divine Messiah.
Didn't Josephus write a paragraph on it?
Tovia is so knowledgeable.

Immensely interesting and plain answer...lovely to listen to Rabbi Tovia Singer..Thanks

Years of deep study
(Acts 7:51-53) "¶ Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do ye. {52} Which of the prophets have not your fathers persecuted? and they have slain them which shewed before of the coming of the Just One; of whom ye have been now the betrayers and murderers: {53} Who have received the law by the disposition of angels, and have not kept it."

There I fixed it for you.
You want to believe in idolary, YOUR choice! No human can die for the sins of others, pure idolatry! 10 commandments, ONE GOD, do not add or take away! The messiah will come ONCE! Then there will be peace, God willing sooner rather then later! NT is misquoting of the bible mixed with Greek mythology! Wake up!
holy smokes!!! i thought he was talking about me!! I'm pushing 60yo and had been a christian all my life. but like many, slowly coming to grips that all from matthew to revelations is an epic fail. my family and i left christianity about 10 years ago and started keeping all the commandments in the Torah(ot), and the more you learn from the Torah, you slowly start to realize, that there was no need to append the NT to the Torah. the Torah got hijack by the catholics to help control the people, just as Tovia said, there is no historical proof of the greek jesus, but plenty of joseph smith, the red sea crossing, bricks made without straw, tombs and pillars, etc. lots of OT proofs, but none of the NT. why is that? question everything until you can prove it yourself. Shalom!!!
My story is very similar. I always had problems with the 'quantum leaps' I had to make to reconcile certain doctrines, I just blamed myself and thought that I did not have enough faith. I actually started resenting God, the mean God of the old testament who can't be approached unless you are seen through the blood of his son. Now that I only read Torah, I can see just what a plagerised religion Christianity really is. The NT is not necessary at all, Hashem is so wonderful that why would you even think that he is mean. And to add insult to injury, the idolatrous book is tacked on to the back of the Torah and then virtually never referred to except for cherry picked scriptures. They claim NT is 'scripture'. People have to start getting real.
MR. FITTA oooh, I am so scared. I mean, would God not want me to squirrel out the truth for myself? Or do I just need to be another doctrinated deluded christian thinking their 'faith' is going to please God. Let's see some action apart from applying the bandaid of the sickly false love that you apply to yourselves, it is actually quite disgusting to watch the prettiness, because we all know as soon as you leave the church on a Sunday, you go straight back into your sins. There is no power in the gospel, just an illusion of a free lunch. You are naked and you don't know how ashamed you will be soon.
MR. FITTA I have abandoned the idol. I am finding my way through reading the Torah, listening to the wisdom of the Rabbis and living with shame and repentance every day of my life for how I loved the idol and ruined my life. I am hoping that Hashem will cut his losses with me and just be done and end it all, but I am here, and I am seeking and I am fighting all those who propagate the lie. It is the least I can do to try to undo all the damage I have done by zealously 'witnessing' and depriving myself all my life. So, yeah, I don't have all the answers, but I can show a few pitfalls. Unfortunately, the attacks from the christians require me to always bring out the big guns. It is a comment section, there is free speech and I don't care if people reject what I say. I reject what they are saying, because I have reasoned it all out and found it to be false (christianity). Either I become a pagan, or else I seek the Ancient of Days and see what he says about finding the path to life.....I am please to inform you..... it can be found if you read the book from the start, like a book.
(By the way this is me, I am at College in a lecture, and you cannot have the GMAIL associated to your account connected to UA-cam while in lecture). So please know this is Angelo Manzi, and I will stay on here till my lecture ends (in 2 hours or so)
everything is at stake here, so no i'm not joking. i've done a lot of research, a ton of reading from the historians, archology, etc.. i can find quite a few evidences for the Tenak/OT, but non for the NT.i just went thru verifiying the messianic prophecies that are used as proofs for JC, and they all turn out with serious problems. so i don't want to live with a lie, so i've fallen back to the salvation found in the Torah, which was always there, just never taught by christian pastors.
As a muslim who is learning about the Torah and the Bible, I can say that my biggest problem is the he died for our sins thing. It looks innocuous but from this belief you open the door to all kind of permissiveness and self indulgence. I think orthodox Judaism is closer to our tradition and I feel it is close to the truth imo. I also get annoyed when people focus too much on the man instead of the teachings. My discomfort is with the latter.
It would be nice if you would answer the Question.!

This rabbi speaks with the same fervor that burned in the hearts of the Pharisees when Jesus walked this earth. John 8:58, "Jesus said to them, 'Truly, truly I say to you, before Abraham was born, I am.'" John 14:6, 'Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father except through Me." I believe who He said he is. For those who do not and reject him, you're not going be able to crucify him a second time. See you on Judgement Day.
Exactly my journey
This is the Gospel of the REAL JESUS of the Bible:
JESUS CHRIST died for you and rose again on the third day. HE did this so that you would be forgiven of your sins and have a relationship with God. If we reject the Gospel of Jesus Christ, we will go to ETERNAL SUFFERING in the lake of fire. But, if you repent of your sins (turn away from them) receive and trust in JESUS CHRIST, you will be forgiven by HIM and you will be guaranteed ETERNAL LIFE!!! Do it today before you enter ETERNITY!! Tomorrow could be too LATE!!
"Jesus answered him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father except through me." (John 14:6)
Simon Peter answered the question quickly.
Matthew 16:15-16 (15) He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? (16) And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.
He still doesn’t answer the question,who was Jesus .!?
"Most damaging false messiah ever" but he doesnt say this not to offend people.
Legend has it he still never answered the question ..
Because he is no one to us. We know he isn't G-d or the son or messiah. Not even sure if he existed and we do not care anyway. Not even important

If we deliberately go on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no further sacrifice for sins remains, but only a fearful expectation of judgment and of raging fire that will consume all adversaries. Anyone who rejected the law of Moses died without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses.…How much more severely do you think one deserves to be punished who has trampled on the Son of God, profaned the blood of the covenant that sanctified him, and insulted the Spirit of grace? Hebrews 10-26-28 Old Testament
Paul isn't a real apostle is your first problem. There are 12 apostles not 13. Paul appointed himself an apostle. Paul never knew or walked with Christ which is mandatory for being an actual apostle. Christ said obey the commandments and follow the law and that not one word of the law would pass away until the end of the universe. Don't buy into that Roman perversion of Judaic spirituality.

That's what all religions do.
A UA-cam video titled _Rabbi Tovia Singer Explains to Caller Why the Messiah Can’t be Anything Remotely Resembling Jesus_ explains that the prophet Ezekiel gave a detailed description of the Messiah's duties in the Messianic Age and these duties are in CONTRADICTION of Christian claims about Messiah Jesus. That is to say, the New Testament has Jesus being in place of the sacrificial lamb; according to the authors of the New Testament, Jesus' shed blood on the cross ends animal shed blood for the remission of sins as appears in the Laws of Moses in the Old Testament. Ezekiel says the Messiah will offer bulls to be slain by the priests, for the remission of the Messiah's sins and the sins of his people. This event cannot happen for Christians in the Messianic Age, for it would negate Jesus' sacrifice on the cross. Ezekiel 45:1-25; 46:1-24. "the prince's duty...he shall provide the sin offerings, cereal offerings, burnt offerings and peace offerings, to make atonement for the house of Israel...you shall take a young bull without blemish, and cleanse the sanctuary. The priest shall take some of the blood of the sin offering and put it on the doorposts of the temple...On that day the prince shall provide for himself and all the people of the land a young bull for a sin offering..." Ergo, Rabbi Tova Singer is correct, Jesus cannot be the Messiah ( or "Prince," Jesus being called the "Prince of Peace") spoken of by the Holy Spirit to Ezekiel.
Hosea 4:6
"My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children". Jesus, was, and still is, the Jewish Messiah. Repent now, your eternal destiny depends on it.
have you read “the old testament” have you read about the roots of the new testament?
based on your statement, no. lol
Poor Rabbi Tovia, he’s wandering in darkness, he knows not The Way,(Jesus Christ).
Jesus led people astray. He is like the false prophet in Deuteronomy 13 who leads people to worship other gods. He is definitely not the way.
This fellow is right in that we mostly don't leave christianity because we love Jesus. But we love him because he loved us first. Now, concerning the Scriptures, let's be honest, dear jews. There is way more historical evidence for the existence of Jesus than for the existence of Moses. It's true, the gospels were written within 30-60 years after the events according to scholars, but even that time frame allows for eyewitnesses to be alive at the time of their composition, at least for Mark, Luke and Matthew. And we have four accounts! In contrast, we only have one account of the patriarchs and Moses, and the controversy over the date and author of the Torah is greatly disputed, and even more disputed is whether the accounts of the Torah were real at all. When debating atheists, christians find it harder to defend the Torah than the gospels. We christians believe the Torah because Jesus affirmed it and taught it, and because we can see how he fulfills the Torah even to the smallest detail. Guess why we reject gnosticism? Because it teaches a worldview completely different to that of the Torah. Actually, the church fathers Mr. Singer is referencing defended christian orthodoxy against the gnostics who contradicted the Jewish scriptures (i.e., the Old Testament) and often wanted it out. I'll be honest: if I were ever to consider leaving my christian faith, I'd leave it from Bereshit to Revelation. Because if Jesus was not the fulfillment of the Torah and the Nevi'im, then no one will ever be. It's that simple.

once again , Christians don't know how to love God and Jesus, we are Loved by God and Jesus and we feel it, that's why tru Christians will choose death for Jesus rather than life on this earth, why?? beacuse true Christians experience God's love, not that we give live to God, it other way around

@Sneller Sam what do you mean a fake? many historians consider his writings to be reliable.
Rabbi, you understand Christians very well and everything you say is true about WHY we believe and hang on so tenaciously. Much,much later, we begin to question one 'fact' and then another because if we respect Judaism and have no prejudice against Jews, then we know that some things that we are doing are wrong and don't seem to be very Jewish. Since Jesus was Jewish, we wonder why Christians don't follow those ways. For example, why don't we celebrate Shabbat as Jesus must have. Why don't we celebrate the Jewish holidays that existed in Jesus' time because each holiday has a special meaning? Etc., etc. And that's when we start investigating to find Truth.
Gentiles are obligated to keep the Torah's 7 Noahide commandments only.
Who was Jesus if he wasn't the messiah? He was a very naughty boy, that's who! Sorry, I couldn't resist making a Life of Brian joke.

do you know who sits at the right hand of God???? a Angel who is not god
We Jews believe in a lot of far out ideas but yet somehow a Virgin birth is unthinkable.
You describe people who convert to Judaism that feel blessed meanwhile I feel when I found Jesus I was blessed. Why is the triune makeup of G-d a problem for us? Doesn’t a peach have a seed, skin and flesh? Isn’t it still one peach? Are there not distinct qualities to each part of the peach?
The word for virgin birth used in biology is, "Parthenogenesis."
I was born and raised a Catholic but after reading most of the bible and seeing all the contradictions figured that I could not as an intelligent person believe in any such god. I do however believe that there is some sort of creation force out there in the universe somewhere but I dont believe that any religion has ever gotten it right
The authenticity of Moses is based on the public revelation at Sinai: God revealed Himself to the entire nation of Israel, at least three million people, and proclaimed before them the Ten Commandments. The entire Jewish people personally experienced that revelation, each individual in effect becoming a prophet, and each one verifying the experience of the other. With their own eyes they saw, and with their own ears they heard, as the Divine voice spoke to them, and also they heard God saying, "Moses, Moses, go tell them the following ..." They did not receive the occurrence of that event and accept it as some claim or tradition of an individual, but they experienced it themselves. That public revelation, therefore, authenticated the bona fide status of Moses as a prophet of God, and the Divine origin of the instructions he recorded in the Torah. That, and that alone, is the criterion for the belief in, and acceptance of, Moses and his teachings.
If you want to really follow the the truth listen to this Rabbi. So so absolutely honest, we have been lie to for decades. If HaShem open your ears and you were a Christian Like me I cried for weeks for all the lies in the new testament
Are you even listening to this rabbi? He hasn’t even answered the question. He just talking nonsense just to say he doesn’t have an answer. The lady ask who was he then and did he do the things that they said he did. He’s not answering that question he’s just saying he’s not the messiah.
You may become a jew by following this rabbi but you will not be a child of God. That rabbi need to be born again and receive the Holy Spirit. Isaiah 7:14 God give Israel a sign, ' the virgin will concieve and bear a son, and shall call his name immanuel. ' that was fulfilled in Jesus birth, Matthew 1:23, Isaiah 9:6 Unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given, His name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Your rabbi will not use those scriptures, so he selectively quote to deceive .
One problem I have observed with rabbis, when they don’t have a straight answer they digress into complex theoretical and philosophical spins which have no base in facts and they do this to a huge array of topics. It’s okay to say you have no idea instead of posting clickbaits and no answers.
Agreed. He didn't even try to address the question head on. He tried to play the psychological angle to answer it. Honest questions deserve honest answers. Not a bucketful of words.
Facts??? Don't be looking to the Bible for facts.
The Rabbi speaks with a lot of "controlled" passion and one can tell he deeply holds his beliefs as true. I understand how he would want to fight to preserve his religion against these aggressive Christian Evangelist's and I wish him success. I'm a 3X ex-Christian and I have used some of the rabbi's info from the videos in debates with Christians. It's amazing to me when Christians tell me I spend too much time studying the Old Test. and always wanted me to focus to the 4 gospels and the resurrection of Jesus. This particular video does a good job addressing the problem of prematurely accepting Jesus and risking idolatry. I'm an Atheist but find many Christians get wrapped up with cult type behaviors which is scary. Wrap up cult-Christianity with right-wing politics, sprinkle in some ignorance (okay, a lot) and you see what it fueled in Washington D.C. Just saying...out!
That's exactly how an Atheist feels talking to a Christian!
You literally don’t understand what he’s doing. It’s part of a larger rhetorical tradition connected to Jewish cultural norms. It is not an accident and it is not - as you are none too subtly implying - disingenuous. It’s just that he’s speaking to the in-group and presuming that everyone already understands the basics of Jewish thought and Jewish teaching methods.
Just like some cultures use the Socratic Method, Jewish culture uses _this_ method: Answering a question with a question; interrogating _why_ one would ask the question; considering if this is even the correct question to be asking; and then, finally, answering the question.
Rabbi Tovio was not at the time when Jesus was around, if he kept on saying that the Christian belief is false and New Testament is false, where do we go from here and what about the Old Testament and the Holy Bible.
Tovia .........u talked for 20 minutes but u never told who Jesus was u seemed to be against him though u always has his presence in ur Torrah .. what will u answer ro God, HeSham
He clearly says that only people who used to be Christian ask this question!
So... To the question of who is Jesus, his answer is only people who used to be Christian ask that question. 🤔🤔🤔 Obviously,.... Makes complete sense to people who ignore Jesus...
Before Satan is revealed falling away from Christ must occur then the wicked one will be revealed
Trump, maybe?
Christians have such a warped view of Satan. As ridiculous as all their other claims
Yeshua is Messiah. He fulfilled Torah. He showed us the way to the Father. He taught against arrogance and pride as did all the prophets. Beware of liars.
Is Moses also found anywhere else but the Hebrew writings? Did he also exist?
@Supreme Ace that does not answer the question
I was a history major in college, Moses did not exist, there were at least 5 different authors that used the name Moses over the period of 400 -700 years. Prof. Francesca Stavrakapoulou
R. Tovia, can you comment on the opinion of Jesus in an Islamic sense? I remember a bus driver who I was having a conversation with. He called himself a Christian, but I mistook him for a Muslim at first. He said that my first mistake in my opinion of Jesus is that "I opened the book and read." Many people believe from religious text that Jesus never hung on a cross, which also could mean we know is less than what we thought we already knew. Having been raised as a Christian, and going to a Christian college, but never believing in or even understanding the mechanics of the way Christianity works, such as Jesus dying for sins, I never understood it. As a youth in the Church, I suffered from having auditory comprehension was in the bottom 1% of people, as was elucidated in a professionally administered test. I fall into the category of the former Christians who attend your synagogue. I was so angry when I found out what Christians believe. I felt I had be lied to. They were nice people, but when I left my Christian path, to this day I still have Christians trying to convert me, and I admit it is quite fun because I am well versed in the Christian Bible, and especially how it is contrary to Torah. Back then, the easiest way for me to learn was by reading, where and IQ test showed my reading comprehension was in the top 95%. So, it is easy to see how I squeaked through church by lack of understanding of Christian scripture in the auditory sense. And, when I eventually did open the Bible, my mom was fiercely opposed to it saying, "Nobody believes that c#@#!"
@abraham mani When exactly will this sword pass through? I'd like to put it off and probably do nothing in response. I will take my chances because all wars Iknow of usually are nowhere able to kill everyone. In fact, that you don't know this leads me to believe you have very little understanding of what you are writting.
Rabbi, what non Jewish historical evidence is there for Moses??
Excellent question. It's been a year since you asked it I see. Let's hope he can give you an answer.
The Quran :)
@@chaimf1974 Cool answer, problem is the Torah had existed for 2000 years and the Gospels had been officially put together 300 years prior to Mohammad’s existence. So he had the Torah and the Godpels to go by. When Paul wrote his earliest letters and when Josephus wrote the “Testimonium Flavianum”, The Gospels had not yet been composed hence giving us evidence of Jesus outside of the Gospels. All we know of Moses is from the OT. This neither proves nor disproves but I’m merely making a point.
I believe Moses existed because Christ referenced him.
@@liamkeogh5135 I wasn't sure what you were looking for. Are you merely looking for evidence of Moses' existence outside of Jewish sources, because finding such evidence would provide more legitimacy to Jewish claims? Or are you asking for such evidence because you believe the evidence for Jesus is greater, since he is mentioned outside of the Gospels? I'm genuinely unsure where to take this, but if the implication is, that someone should not deny the accuracy of the divinity of Jesus while believing that Moses existed, because there exists more diverse proofs for Jesus, I would respond in many ways.
1) No one denies that Jesus existed, to argue that Jesus is divine is another story. I, too, exist, and there are more proofs of my existence than anyone else that lived years prior to my birth. Does that make me God? I hope not.
2) You also mention that you believe Moses existed because Jesus said so. Do you realize that you also only believe in Jesus because Moses existed? Moses has to come first in the equation, as Xtianity relies on the Jewish Prophets and teachings (IMO, pervertedly). To say that you believe in Moses because Jesus said so is like saying you believe your grandparents once existed because your parents said they did, but only because your parents said they did. You rely on Moses for what Jesus says to matter to you.
3) Most importantly, Jews don't believe that Moses was more divine that another human being. What I mean is, all of his divinity was a reflection of the One God. He was as divine as that which he reflected, entirely reliant on the Almighty.
Xtians believe _in_ Jesus which is something very different. While I believe that Moses was Hashem's greatest prophet, I don't pray to him. I don't _believe_ in *him*. I believe and pray to God, and sometimes, I may even pray that God answer my prayers in the merit of great people like Moses. But it is always, only, prayer to God as God is the only source of power.
Lmk if I addressed your thoughts or if I was completely off target :)
@@chaimf1974 What I am saying is largely rhetorical. The Rabi likes to claim that only evidence for Jesus is the Gospels and that the Divinity of Christ increases as the Gospels go on. So basically he thinks that in Mark, Christ isn’t really divine but by the time you get to John, Jesus is God.
I refute this claim. If you only had Mark to read then you would still have Jesus as the Divine Son of God.
Rabi Tovia never actually states if he thinks Jesus is real or not. Watch him closely. He talks about the Gospels like they were made up by different individuals who partially copied each other but added to the story as the years went on. He never states who he thinks Jesus actually was. Inferring that Jesus may not have even existed.
To disagree with you slightly, I actually do think many people believe he never existed.
My point on Moses is I know he existed without the need for any other sources because Jesus of Nazareth (who there are plenty sources for) referenced Moses.
Because Rabi Tovia doesn’t believe in Jesus and may even believe that he is a fictional character. Then Jesus’ reference of Moses is rendered useless.
The Rabi hence has no other sources for his greatest prophet other than what is written in Jewish scripture.
This renders his arguments against evidence for Jesus’ divinity or even existence useless.
In a nutshell, as Christians we know of Moses’ existence because Jesus confirms it, we know of Jesus existence because of the many none Christian sources who reference him, namely Josephus. Tibia doesn’t believe in Jesus so he has no confirmation of Moses outside of Jewish scripture which makes his opinions on Jesus hypocritical.
not really interested in truth is he...lotsa reference of jesus historically
No contemporary writings? That's funny. I guess Pliny the Younger, Josephus, and Tacitus must have been referring to another Jesus.
Josephus 94 CE (a church forgery in Antiqu. 18, 3, 3), Pliny the Younger 112 CE, Tacitus 114 CE. You call this contemporaneous?
@@ToviaSinger1 this Rabbi is twisting Gods Word, every Messianic prophecy, he replaces the Messiah with the nation of Israel,. Leading his own people away from knowing the truth about Messiah. He is either doing it deliberately or he's afraid to admit who the Jewish Messiah is.
All this Rabbi has is carnal head knowledge. He has no Spiritual discernment and is doing his Jewish brethern a disservice. He's just like who Saul was, but instead of killing Jewish believers, he's killing Jewish soul's.
I'm sorry that this man represents the Jewish people.
@@nonegiven9727
Any man can say that about any man but yet you have offered no evidence
What is pretty interesting in this discussion is that many of the accusations Rabbi Singer has about the Christian Scriptures also apply to the Hebrew Bible. For instance, Torah is handed out at the base of Mt. Sinai and according to tradition, written under/by Moshe. So, the creation of the world is described hundreds of years after the event as are everything else in the Torah leading up to the Exodus. Secondly, manuscripts show that Jewish scribes also altered texts in Hebrew scriptures. It happened in Qumran. The extemporaneous evidence for the Exodus is difficult at best to tie down, which Pharoah(s) it occurred under, evidence of the plagues, evidence of loss of the Israelites and its impact upon Egyptian economy/society, the fear of neighboring nations due to the type of event the biblical Exodus created. I believe in the Exodus, and there are arguments for each of these questions as well. The prophet Daniel according to some has evidence of multiple authors, or scribes. There are multiple times in the Hebrew Bible where a scribe inserts a parenthetical statement of a story/event, often with words such as (this place was formerly called this, or as it is to this day, etc.) Just be fair in the treatment of the entire the Hebrew Bible as well as Christian is what I am saying.
If you are truley looking for the truth, Read the Quran with an open mind, If you think it is from God accept, it if not reject it,but dont just reject it from heresay. It will tell you who Jesus truley was. peace be upon you.
