I really hope that the caller has found his way. His struggle was very clear in his voice. Sympathy and respect to him for feeling responsible to lead where his family should be moving towards.
Because you are a Jew, I want to ask you a logical question... Why did God send a huge and large number of prophets? Most of these prophets were sent by God to the Children of Israel... So why was God not satisfied with sending one messenger like Adam, and that is enough? Do you have a question as a Jew?
@@القادماجملباذنالله-ت2ع yes I have a question related to the prophets. Why would God send someone who is not related to Jacob as a final prophet. Don't you find that strange because all the other prophets have been Jewish? Thank you
Yes. Tovia sounds like something speaking to Eve in the garden. " Has God said?" " You won't die." They both twist Hashem's words. Take the line from him, islam and so many false leaders " They corrupted the scriptures." The perfect example is Isaiah 52:13 -53: 12 on the first appearance of Messiah. Of course Jacob, who's name was changed to "Israel' by God and so loved and cherished by The Maker of the universes, is in the text, but he is paralleled to an individual, Yeshua, The Lion of the tribe of Judah, The Messiah, Saviour and redeemer for the world. The He abuse He recieved and predicted for His first coming was just as Joseph's treatment by his bros, not receiving the visions that Adonia gave him until his brothers came to Egypt the second time when theireyes were opened. When Yeshua ( Salvation) comes the second time, all had better say " Baruch haba B'Shem Adonai. " Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord. " Study for yourself . Pick a Tanakh and read. Pray for truth in HaShem's perfect Torah and you will find truth and ' Sar Shalom ' The Prince of Peace. Shalom Aleichem
Jw's also believe in the 144,000 in the NT to be the people in NY headquarters who they call them "anointed ones" who replaced Israel as the "anointed one. It is also called "spiritual israel' replacement theology. Jw's also believe in the kingdom of God governed by their 'anointed ones" who will go to heavens co -heir with "Jesus" Jw's also believe that they are the only ones to be saved from this world because they possess this special knowledge about their doctrines. Jw's also believe that Jesus is the High Priest and the Archangel who pre existed before he became Jesus the only savior of the world. Jw's also believe that they will preach to their loves ones in the 1000 year reign of Christ where people will have a second chance to repent. Jw's also believe that Jesus appeared in 1914 ( the last days signs) called by their founder Charles Russell "the beginning of the gentiles period to come in. and whoever was born during these dates 1914-1937 will be part of the 144,000 anointed ones. JW's also believe to know the "date" of the end of the world to be a certain 'date" proclaimed by their "anointed ones' in NY headquarters , the last claim was 2012 ( they foretold it like 7-10 times since 1914) and their next date future date is 2030. The Jw's also believe in birth of Jesus to be "divine" by the Holy Spirit or "immaculate conception" like the Catholic Church. JW's also believe in other weird doctrines that are part of Christianity as well.
@@TorahisLifeandLight appreciate the opinions, but being anointed isn't restricted to people going to their headquarters. It's completely unrelated. It's completely personal.
I feel his pain! I went through similar transitions & it feels life you're isolated & alone. I was in the Pentecostal Church when I "got saved" I surrounded myself with like minded believers. Only read what supported my beliefs & like was pretty good. Then I started to study the Bible myself with a friend. He and I started finding problems with the New Testament so we went into the Old looking for answers. Eventually we started keeping the Sabbath & other laws. When Christians found out we were told we were "trying to earn Grace" "Judaizers" we were even told that Satan wants us to keep the law to void our Grace! We ended up losing almost all our Christian friends. People avoided us & gossip started. This was a tough and painful process. All we wanted was to be sure we were living biblical lives. We kept going with our studies and realized we both came to religion because of Jesus. We like him. He heals. He raises the dead. He makes food for large crowds. What's not to like right? Well, in contrast YHWH is not as nice so the more we studied the more YHWH & Jesus seem to be nothing alike. Then we realized the OT & NT have very little in common. Most of the Prophecy about Jesus is manufactured or used out of context. It took a few years to truly unlearn what we had been indoctrinated into. Thankfully I had a friend and a wife to help me through this pain! The caller needs the same. Where can we go to get help from religious abuse? The battle inside our heads is real! I feel bad for this caller if he does "come out of her" the light at the end of the tunnel is there. Keep going toward it. The darkness where you are is man made doctrines & church traditions. The light is freedom.
Exactly. Yahweh is NOT the father of Jesus. If you ask me he's more of a Valentinian Demiurge figure. Highly legalistic and matter of fact as to where Christ expounded upon the ACTUAL law which was ALWAYS the law, which contains the written OT law yet pursues deeper into the mental/psychological and archetypal realms. The figure of Christ isn't Yahweh incarnated, rather he was POSSESSED by the Logos. Much closer in principle to the Tao of Eastern philosophy and closer to Sophia of the Gnostics. That's just my own take. Feel free to differ, because you are free to do such.
Wow! His closing comments were so moving. The questioner wanted to know the truth. He was asking for the sake of his family and was taking responsibility as a leader, like a real man. This inspired the heartfelt response of Rabbi Singer...and then the Hebrew words that cut in with the music "Master of The World" at the end!
that caller sounds like a sincere person, i also question my belief sometimes how can one know the truth 100% when their are so many options on the truth
I almost every day listen to the teachings of Rabbi Singer. He may come across as arogant and offensive but FAR from it! We must not judge the man but the message. He teaches from Torah and indeed the whole Tanakh! Thank you Ha Shem for men like Tovia!!!
Tovia singer hayah(I am)is with you,you are doing the will of your master in heaven the most high.thanxs for all the knowledge you send for the ones that need to turn there face back to the most high.its not easy but the most high has given you strength to give them the truth.praise the most high to the one and only.
It Is amazing how much you can learn from Solomons writings and to reach like David , the will to never give up and believe , it is a blessing to have Rabbi Tovia have these videos for everyone to see
I hurt for the caller who seems to sincerely want to know the most authentic path to follow in his search for a relationship with God. Organized Religion was supposed to be an assistance in accomplishing this and has, instead, become a barrier. It is no small blessing to know there are teachers who still put aside their particular affiliation in the name of guiding even those of another faith. Well done.
Coming out of Christianity after coming to the truth is so very difficult because most rabbis don’t have an interest in teaching new comers the Torah. Learning Torah is difficult to come to a truthful understanding when there is no teacher. Rabbi Singer cross references OT and the NT so that we are able to actually SEE the contrast and why the NT is not based on the Hebrew Scriptures in truth. I plead for help to SEE the truth. His goal is to bring back the Jewish to the God of Abraham and in doing so has opened the eyes of Christians. We need a rabbi and he is mine . I praise HaShem for bringing him into my life to lead me.
This is so true. I am amazed over Singer's "broad" understanding and insight into even the more "unique" movements of christianity. I have had lots of experience with Jehovas Witnesses in the past. What Singer delievers here is a very delicate and respectful answer to a J.W.! Very precise and honest answer. I am impressed. Very good.
I came to believe that Muhammad (peace be upon him) is God's final prophet and messenger 13 years ago, but if I had come into contact with Rabbi Tovia's material 13 years and 6 months ago instead of a Muslim convert, I would have begun the process to convert to Judaism. I know it mustn't mean much coming from a Muslim layman such as myself, but I appreciate the work this Rabbi is doing to clarify and defend tawheed. Shalom `aleychem.
Rasheed Gillespie Totally my thoughts as a Muslim like yourself, although I was born into a Muslim family and society. If Islam wasn't a choice available to me, I'd definitely chose to follow the Torah as a Bney Noah. God doesn't accept a faith that say to him we hear and we disobey. We love you but we love another more than you or at least as much as we love you.
Anyone who thinks muhammad was a prophet that person is retarded,and dumb. He invented the new god god of black Stone which Jews and Christians do not worship. If muhammad was a prophet,the stupid dome in Jerusalem wouldn't exist. and according to prophecy all a terrible end is coming for Muslims. For 7 years Jews will collect their corpses.... This is why the rabbi feels sorry for Muslims,he also knows the prophecy.

Thank you Rabbi for speaking TRUTH!!!! You are superb in your wealth of knowledge. May The Almighty Creator continue to Bless you. I am a exjw who NO longer believe their false teachings. Yet I can't share with them that they are in a False religion. I consider myself a follower of Judaism. Shalom

There are of course similarities between Islam and Judaism but also differences. The rabbi sees Jesus in very much the same way as muslims do but he does not regard the Koran as the inerrant word of God.
I studied with JW for a solid year, but could not accept some of their teachings. When I learned the whole truth from the Jewish Bible and became a Noahide, it changed my life. Tovias books are awesome tools to explore the Jewish scriptures. They are worth 1000 times more to my soul than the price I paid for them. 💕
Katie Burris what was it that you did not agree with? was it the Lord's prayer? no.1 Sanctification or hallowing of God's name: Ezekiel :23 And I will sanctify my great name, which hath been profaned among the nations, which ye have profaned in the midst of them; and the nations shall know that I am Jehovah, saith the Lord Jehovah, when I shall be sanctified in you before their eyes..

Tovia regarding your hair...you have a lot so that is something to be thankful for. My comment is though, the gray down the middle reminds of a wrestler back in the 60's named "Sputnik Monroe". en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sputnik_Monroe
He is telling the truth. He has devoted his life to God, he doesn't do it to put anyone down. If you have any scriptural evidence you would like share to persuade me please go ahead. Tovia will crush anything from the false testament.
I was an ex-students from JW’s but now I’m Jewish and I feel calm, I found meaning again with HaShem and I keep all of his commandments the best I can (keeping Kosher, keeping Sabbath, Passover, Shavuot, not wearing wool and linen, etc)
B”H Rav thank you for all the work you are doing. I’m listening and re-listening your talks and lectures. You make my Jewish faith stronger. My question is, do you have your Beit Knesset where one could daven with you on Shabbat in Jerusalem? Thank you!
If God is the God is spirit. Why not worship in the spirit. Why do you need to face a certain direction if he is everywhere. If he knows what you need before you ask. Why does it matter which way you face???
Thank you Rabbi. You make so much sense! But it is written as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My. . . .I will not insult your intelligence by finishing the verse. You know what the verse says. You can read my point without me finishing it. Thank You. Berakca!
Please, Rabbi Tovia Singer, can your youtube's teachings be translated into Spanish, so Latin American countries can listen to the truth that you are teaching us and revealing us the truth
Elizabeth Alba, auto translation captions are available now- just go turn on CC/captions to whatever language you prefer (unfortunately Google doesn't have automatic Hebrew yet)
As a Muslim that jews consider Bnai Noah and if I may say the bnai noah per excellence, You Must Believe in Jesus and the Seal of prophets that he prophesised and came 600 years after him it is better for you if you believe in One Creator and the day of Judgement.
Jews consider non-Jews B'nai Noah...WITHOUT requiring non-Jews to believe in Jesus OR the seal of the prophets. If one is CONSCIOUSLY B'nai Noah...one of the effects is...learning where one ultimately gets the best understanding. NOT from an alternative narrative.
Islam is a theocratical ideology and mixture of many world religions, that's includes idol worshipping rituals of Kabba, Hinduism, Zoroastrianism, Judaism, sabbians and nasara...
@Rada Bakri, out of curiosity, how do you find the Muslim view of JWs? Monotheistic, believers in Jesus, without believing him God. Although, we disagree about Jesus being a human prophet and the account of his death, and are not convinced about Mohammad. Clearly points of disagreement, but would your interpretation of Islam condemn me to the same extent as polytheists?
I learn a lot from questions that this rabbi answers. Like I always said the Jews were never open to talking to us about the proper direction. For what reason, they feel they are the chosen ones so they do not need anything to do with the gentiles.
we used to be scared of non-jews - some think we should still be wary. any jewish direction to non-jews in Europe immediately triggered destruction.... but it looks like many jews are feeling secure enough.....
Jesse Linkes You mean the one that says there are no other Gods before him that hashem ? In barashit was darkness and hashem made everything from darkness that hashem !?
Israeli Grandmaster @ you are right E. is singular. E_him is plural. In Hebrew if you give more respect than you add word. It’s a beauty of Hebrew it doesn’t mean more than one or more G_od.
But the old testament claims that "The soul that sinneth shall die. The father shall not suffer the iniquity of the son, nor the son shall not suffer the iniquity of the son. The righteousness of the righteous shall be upon himself and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon himself. If the wicked person turns away from all sins which he has committed he will surely live, he shall not die." (Ezekiel 18:20-21) "The children shall not put to death for father's iniquity nor the father shall not be put to death for children's iniquity. Every man will die for their own sins." (Deuteronomy 24:16) "Again, when I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; if he turns from his sin, and do that which is lawful and right; If the wicked restore the pledge, give again that he had robbed, walk in the statutes of life, without committing iniquity; he shall surely live, he shall not die. None of his sins that he hath committed shall be mentioned unto him: he hath done that which is lawful and right; he shall surely live." (Ezekiel 33:14-16) For this verse of old testament, Muslims and Jews rejects that Jesus died for our sins. Even also it contradicts and goes against the old testament. But some people bring Isaiah 53 that propechy about a suffering a servant and this is Jesus. But honestly the propechy isn't referring Jesus if we read Isaiah 52 and Isaiah 54.
My only concern with this caller is that if he has indeed recognized the faults in Christological reasoning, then his faith will choke the more he sticks around. Unfortunately there's still much division within the Jewish community that necessary attention to the well-being of Noahides are at risk.
Ironic because Jehovah Witnesses used to worship Jesus along with Jehovah until the 1950s and the New Testament has various verses where Jesus is worshipped while beings like angels and humans reject worship.
Alhandululah! May Allah (SwA) guide this brother in faith to the monotheistic truths of either Islam or Judaism. He will find in either a welcoming community that will make up for the social estrangement he will undoubtedly suffer. Bless you rabbi for setting this gentleman on the right path to divine acceptance…
What on earth? How are you a Muslim and making dua someone is guided to Judaism alongside Islam? You need to check your iman, educate yourself and stop spouting nonsense. Islam and Judaism both cannot be true. They oppose each other in core beliefs. There’s only one pathway to Allah and that is Islam.
@@samboy90 Each human being has a direct connection to Allah ta’ala. Nobody needs religion. Religions are man made and, history has proven, they can be evil and a source of great suffering for humanity. We don’t need priests, mullahs, sheikhs, gurus, bishops, monks, alims or any other such clergy to “guide” us. Allah ta’ala sent us in his final revelation the furqan that we might know right from wrong and that He vouched safe unlike earlier revelations. This is the only “education” one needs if one wishes to belong to those who submit to the will of our Lord. My advice to new Muslims from outside the culturally defined Arabic narrative is to stay clear of the dawah preachers. The Quran is in plain language and so obviates the need for the services of a religious leadership to interpret its meaning for us. Islam is not and was not ever intended to be a religion as such. Islam is what it has always been, the primordial faith that exists in the hearts of good men and women and that has been with us since the time of our father Adam (AS). This is why Allah (SWT) refers to all the pre-Mohammedan prophets as Muslim when the religion that exists in the world today and has the temerity to call itself Islam, did not even exist. The “nonsense” you speak of I get from our holy Creator in his final revelation to humanity. I use no other source in issues of faith/spirituality. If it appears nonsense to you, it is because it conflicts with what your religious leadership tells you. You have bound yourself to religious orthodoxy rather than to the word of our Lord, may He be praised and glorified. There is a difference, sir, between worshipping Allah ta’ala and worshipping your religion. Religious leadership has a vested interest in getting you to believe in this false equivalency. Buying into this brings one dangerously close to shirk. If you follow the word of Allah you will never go wrong but if you follow the word of men you’re just following someone else’s agenda. Read Quran every single day of your life. That, is your guide. May Allah in His infinite mercy bring you back to His loving embrace and protect you from the errors of religiosity. May the peace and blessing of our Lord be upon you day and night and all the days of your life.
As in the movie "Lord of the Rings" first one must have the KEY then one must find the HOLE for the KEY. Everything is in plain sight but it was Froto who found it. The movie was in total coded Kabballah.
Great video rabbi, they also belive that Jc was a god different of G-d and this makes no sense if you compare with the jewish bible, But they are the Christian group with more logic in their doctrines.
@ Kiruv Media, here the source: John 1 In the beginning etc... and the word was a god!!! Notice that this word, which they believe is Jesus, was "A" god... I don't think endorsing them only because they don't believe Jesus is devine is a good idea and meanwhile you disregard the fact that the founder of this cult was also involved in occultism (freemason, etc...)
Haya 7 Yes, Jehovah's Witnesses do believe Jesus was "A" God, but the pharisees and scribes were also considered to be "gods". The word "god" means "mighty one" and is a term which was applied to all men of great knowledge and to men of great power in those days. Oh, and the person you refer to as their "founder" was not their founder and also was not involved in any form of the occult, nor was he a Freemason. I can provide you with proof of that easily enough. The following information comes from former Jehovah's Witness Barbara Anderson: Back in 2001, I requested historical information from the ANCIENT ACCEPTED SCOTTISH RITE OF FREEMASONRY, VALLEY OF PITTSBURGH, PENNSYLVANIA, asking if Charles Taze Russell, his father, Joseph Lytel Russell, and his uncle, Charles Tays Russell, were Pennsylvania Freemasons. This is the answer I received in a letter: “AFTER A SEARCH OF OUR RECORDS, WE DETERMINED THAT THE THREE RUSSELLS WERE NOT MEMBERS OF OUR ORGANIZATION.” In their letter, the Pittsburgh Chapter recommended that I send an inquiry asking for further research into this question to the Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania located in Philadelphia - which I did. On April 27, 2001, I received this reply: “THE RECORD BOOKS IN THE GRAND SECRETARY’S OFFICE ARE UNAVAILABLE AT THIS TIME AS THEY ARE BEING CONSERVED AND SHOULD BE BACK SOME TIME IN THE FALL.” Inasmuch as I was very involved with other, more pressing things then, I did not follow-up and eventually my desire for resolution of this question faded out of my mind, that is, until September 2005 when I sent a follow-up email to the Masonic Temple, Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. Shortly thereafter, I received this reply: DEAR MS. ANDERSON, CHARLES TAZE RUSSELL WAS NOT A PENNSYLVANIA FREEMASON. NOR DOES HE APPEAR IN THE RECORDS OF ENGLAND OR IRELAND. I SHALL CHECK THE RECORDS FOR THE OTHER TWO RUSSELLS. BEST, GLENYS A. WALDMAN LIBRARIAN I never checked back with Ms. Waldman to see whether the other two Russell’s were Pennsylvania Freemasons, but there has never been any evidence they were, so I didn’t bother. In any event, I would hope the answer from a search of the original records will forever put this claim to rest that Charles Taze Russell was a Pennsylvania Freemason because he absolutely was not. Barbara Anderson
I do not understand how any religion can black list one's family. I know as a Noah Hyde I could never blacklist my family even though they are Christian. I just find it mind boggling how the witnesses feel the way they do.
I almost converted to the witnesses myself had i not sought their opinion on Israel. It was said the church had replaced Israel and i couldnt continue from that point. So i sought out another way.
If "human sacrifice is an abomination" then could you explain the Abraham/Isaac story from that perspective? Why would Abraham proceed to conduct an abominable command? Wouldn't he question whether he was hearing and following Satan? And doesn't Abraham's statement that "God will provide a sacrifice" constitute either a lie to Isaac or an inner disbelief that God would issue such an abominable command to begin with? And what kind of deception by God does that imply that He would command a human sacrifice to test Abraham's obedience to an abominable command while really He was planning an animal substitute? And lastly I suppose, why would Abraham's obedience to an abominable command be counted to him as "righteousness"? Thank you.
No human being could ever be righteous. In Jesus, God willingly determined to sacrifice Himself for the cleansing of all of humanity who would believe that He was the final sacrifice. All other Jewish sacrifices for sin were only a picture of God's love for man so that He (Jesus) became the only source of redemption for those who call upon His name. God chose to sacrifice Himself making salvation for mankind a free gift for those who believe. Jesus became our righteousness.
@@ADove-5 I do agree it is very disgusting that God would give His life for the very people that spat upon Him, mocked Him and now reject Him. He did for you, so that you can have eternal life and you mock and reject your Savior. Salvation comes by Grace Alone.
@@11jimbo11 also why do you refuse to exalt the father before all else ? This strikes me odd.

I know this isn't a debate with Rabbi singer, but I saw some points I wanted to respond to as a JW- (I'll use "Hashem" out of respect for rabbi Singer) 1- to clarify our view on Jesus and the Father a bit: our views are summed up nicely at John 17:3 and 1 Corinthiand 8:6. As a plain reading... not thinking "but he really meant something completely different." One God, the Father, Hashem. Jesus is the Christ whom He sent. We believe Jesus is the heavenly son of God, "The Word" in John 1:1 and throughout Zechariah. A servent of God that God anointed to a certain level of authority, but a finite being God has worked through since creation... but not God himself. We do not believe Jesus is coequal or coeternal. The correlation with Michael has quite a bit of backing, but isn't exactly a "hard doctrine." 2- the blood transfusion bit is a delicate topic. Not to push my own videos, but I made a video explaining that. Organ transplants aren't a matter of "changing our mind after people died, and forcing God to change his mind with us." ... rather, medical advancements and understandings change over time. No one thought germs existed until germ theory was substantiated... doesn't mean sicknesses "used to be caused by bad air until we invented germs." ... people learn. That's ok. 3- i wouldn't say we're "extreme foes" of the mainstream church... we simply have seen it and found it inaccurate. 4- at 6:30- I disagree with his stance on human sacrifice... it's not something asked of people, but in hebrew scriptures, it was asked of Abraham. Because Abraham was WILLING due to his faith, God spared him that need and provided a substitute. We see the greek scriptures (john 3:16) as Hashem following through with what he asked of Abraham. Jesus didn't come to abolish or oppose the original (mosaic) law, but to fulfill it. His judgement here isn't against the JWs in particular, but the Greek scriptures themselves. 5- 11:00 "why do you need to hand out pamphlets when you have a bible?" Because mainstream Christianity is still radically mislead by the effects of Constantine's church working so hard to hide truth. People clearly need a bit of help studying for themselves. 6- Solomon may not have spoken about the Messiah, but many hebrew texts have. Rabbi Singer and I would disagree on that being Jesus. But he would have to agree that a Messiah will bring about the world to come... we believe that could happen soon. We just call "the world to come" "the New System" and believe that to be what Michael spoke of in the book of Daniel. 7- 17:05 - the only reason they wouldn't come to your door would be if you wanted to be placed on the "do not call" list. If you ever want a bible study, you can request one at any time through the website and a local congregation would send someone. I can't travel, but I'd love to talk to you! I disagree with certain things, but have used some of the points you've made in my own conversations.
Would you be willing to have a discussion with me? If so I’d like to start by saying do you believe that the bible is the divine word of G-d and that it cannot have even one mistake since G-d is perfect?
@@tristanwarren9808 sorry, I don't believe I got a notification on this reply since I wasn't tagged. Sure, I'm always looking for discussions and things to research. If you're still interested. I'd be a bit cautious with that answer: God himself is infallible, yes. And I believe what was originally given was perfect. I believe the scriptures have been -sufficiently- preserved, yes. But there are scribal errors and questionable texts, even in the Hebrew scriptures. For example, I'm skeptical of the divine inspiration of the book of Esther. Historical, sure, but the story seems very secular... People did this, and people did that, and people manipulated people so that one group wanted to kill another, but the second killed the first group instead... No prophecy. Very little mention of God at all. The account could be historical, and God could have been acting, without this being "infallible divinely inspired scripture, through which God teaches future generations." I anticipate there is more truth that could have been beneficial, which has been lost to history. -Enough- has been preserved. But not 100% preserved with 0% imperfections as some KJV-only baptists would suggest. I believe many cultures (particularly Rome) have done everything in their power to destroy or pervert as much scripture as they could. They didn't "succeed." But they did some damage.
@@tristanwarren9808slowest conversation ever! Lol. I'm a 3rd generation Witness. Been studying scripture and everything tangentially related to scripture my whole life. Including considering what a range of rabbis (from Chasidic to Karaite) suggest. I'd still be interested in that conversation, but apparently life gets a bit busy. ... As this far in the conversation has taken 3 years.
Mythraism is very close to what Xians believe. Born of virgin died for sins eat my body and blood be one with mythra. Was big in Tarsus where Paul came from....hmmmm
I really doubt that this caller is one of Jehovah's Witnesses since he is so confused about what God's Word teaches. Of course this rabbi is going to tell him to stay away from them....they're not Jews! He also does not have some of his facts straight on what the JW believe.
Yeah, witnesses don't believe in vicarious atonement, and I wouldn't call them culty, I would say they're cheesy but concerned with reputation. As a witness trying to escape the streuggle myself, I've literally learned Hebrew and Greek, and Paul totally disagrees with Jesus himself. "Pray the end does not come on the sabath" Jesus says, but Paul says there is no sabbath. And praying *through* Jesus is technically idolatry. "the perfect representation of God… Pray in his name and you shall receive."
This is so important to someone that has come out of Christianity to know that their sins will be forgiven and it's so good to hear Rabbi Singer talk of this to this man who left the question. Once he is sure of this he will have the strength to move on and find his spiritual home, a new path.....his old church will shun him and his family which is sickening.....and the best way to deal with this is to move away like Avraham and Sarah did....and they will be blessed with good things in life.

JW's also believe to know the "date" of the end of the world to be a certain 'date" proclaimed by their "anointed ones' in NY headquarters , the last claim was 2012 ( they foretold it like 7-10 times since 1914) and their next date future date is 2030.

That's not a jahovah witness,, he is a simpathiser at most. A Jahovah witness would never dare ask for guidance or opinion to no one other than their elders or governing body.
Did God accept human sacrifices at all? I know it says over and over that it is not good. But, what about Judges chapter 11 & chapter 12? Was there punishment for such actions?
One question, was Abraham not prepared to offer his own son as a human sacrifice instead God took a ram. In psalm 51 does it not say about offering bullocks on God's altar? Forgive my ignorance if I am wrong.
Fun fact! Santa Claus (Saint Nicolaus) gave Arius a fat slap in the face on the first Council of Nicea. It was a very wild battle about the divinity of Christ. Many old men got red cards and had to go outside and calm themselves down that day 🤣
Converts are big treat for unGodly, alas it can be your own parent or perhaps nation, under the name of cult. However, Blessed are those who fear G-d deep in their heart and soul thus DNA... victory and honor belongs to God Of IsraEL and His Inheritance
This guy is so incredibly genuine. May Hashem bless him and his family.
I really hope that the caller has found his way. His struggle was very clear in his voice. Sympathy and respect to him for feeling responsible to lead where his family should be moving towards.
Because you are a Jew, I want to ask you a logical question... Why did God send a huge and large number of prophets? Most of these prophets were sent by God to the Children of Israel... So why was God not satisfied with sending one messenger like Adam, and that is enough? Do you have a question as a Jew?
@@القادماجملباذنالله-ت2ع yes I have a question related to the prophets. Why would God send someone who is not related to Jacob as a final prophet. Don't you find that strange because all the other prophets have been Jewish? Thank you

Yes. Tovia sounds like something speaking to Eve in the garden.
" Has God said?"
" You won't die."
They both twist Hashem's words.
Take the line from him, islam and so many false leaders
" They corrupted the scriptures."
The perfect example is Isaiah 52:13 -53: 12 on the first appearance of Messiah. Of course Jacob, who's name was changed to "Israel' by God and so loved and cherished by The Maker of the universes, is in the text, but he is paralleled to an individual, Yeshua, The Lion of the tribe of Judah, The Messiah, Saviour and redeemer for the world. The He abuse He recieved and predicted for His first coming was just as Joseph's treatment by his bros, not receiving the visions that Adonia gave him until his brothers came to Egypt the second time when theireyes were opened.
When Yeshua ( Salvation) comes the second time, all had better say
" Baruch haba B'Shem Adonai. " Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord. "

I feel his pain! I went through similar transitions & it feels life you're isolated & alone. I was in the Pentecostal Church when I "got saved" I surrounded myself with like minded believers. Only read what supported my beliefs & like was pretty good. Then I started to study the Bible myself with a friend. He and I started finding problems with the New Testament so we went into the Old looking for answers. Eventually we started keeping the Sabbath & other laws. When Christians found out we were told we were "trying to earn Grace" "Judaizers" we were even told that Satan wants us to keep the law to void our Grace! We ended up losing almost all our Christian friends. People avoided us & gossip started. This was a tough and painful process. All we wanted was to be sure we were living biblical lives. We kept going with our studies and realized we both came to religion because of Jesus. We like him. He heals. He raises the dead. He makes food for large crowds. What's not to like right? Well, in contrast YHWH is not as nice so the more we studied the more YHWH & Jesus seem to be nothing alike. Then we realized the OT & NT have very little in common. Most of the Prophecy about Jesus is manufactured or used out of context. It took a few years to truly unlearn what we had been indoctrinated into. Thankfully I had a friend and a wife to help me through this pain! The caller needs the same. Where can we go to get help from religious abuse? The battle inside our heads is real! I feel bad for this caller if he does "come out of her" the light at the end of the tunnel is there. Keep going toward it. The darkness where you are is man made doctrines & church traditions. The light is freedom.
This hit hard.
Exactly. Yahweh is NOT the father of Jesus. If you ask me he's more of a Valentinian Demiurge figure. Highly legalistic and matter of fact as to where Christ expounded upon the ACTUAL law which was ALWAYS the law, which contains the written OT law yet pursues deeper into the mental/psychological and archetypal realms. The figure of Christ isn't Yahweh incarnated, rather he was POSSESSED by the Logos. Much closer in principle to the Tao of Eastern philosophy and closer to Sophia of the Gnostics. That's just my own take. Feel free to differ, because you are free to do such.
I am going through very similar
Wow! His closing comments were so moving. The questioner wanted to know the truth. He was asking for the sake of his family and was taking responsibility as a leader, like a real man. This inspired the heartfelt response of Rabbi Singer...and then the Hebrew words that cut in with the music "Master of The World" at the end!
that caller sounds like a sincere person, i also question my belief sometimes
how can one know the truth 100% when their are so many options on the truth
There are no options my friend. The only people with the right concept of God are the Jews and Muslims. Be a Muslim if you are not born Jewish.
A fully trained witness would not be so uncertain in his beliefs sounds like a learner to me.
@@RedDwarfism not necessarily true...it just means that the caller is smarter he realizes something is wrong with his believes.
@@ישעיהובן-תורה Ime sure it's a newbie because a seasoned witness would not even ask his opinion on the matter.

I almost every day listen to the teachings of Rabbi Singer.
He may come across as arogant and offensive but FAR from it!
We must not judge the man but the message.
He teaches from Torah and indeed the whole Tanakh!
Thank you Ha Shem for men like Tovia!!!
Am learning a lot of new things everyday. Bless brother Tovia Singer ❤️🥇
Using Tanakh as a measurement tool - wisdom word from our beloved Rabbi
Rabbi thanks for this explanation, I’m so glad I found this video.
Thanks again
I am happy that the caller listen to his heart. He might be in lot of pressure from his family and community pressure.
Tovia singer hayah(I am)is with you,you are doing the will of your master in heaven the most high.thanxs for all the knowledge you send for the ones that need to turn there face back to the most high.its not easy but the most high has given you strength to give them the truth.praise the most high to the one and only.
It Is amazing how much you can learn from Solomons writings and to reach like David , the will to never give up and believe , it is a blessing to have Rabbi Tovia have these videos for everyone to see
I hurt for the caller who seems to sincerely want to know the most authentic path to follow in his search for a relationship with God. Organized Religion was supposed to be an assistance in accomplishing this and has, instead, become a barrier. It is no small blessing to know there are teachers who still put aside their particular affiliation in the name of guiding even those of another faith. Well done.
So Beautiful and joyous to hear men and women waking up all across the board to the one WHOLE TRUTH called JUDAISM
Such a sweet and humble man . May he finds the truthful God and Guidance he is looking for ❤
Coming out of Christianity after coming to the truth is so very difficult because most rabbis don’t have an interest in teaching new comers the Torah. Learning Torah is difficult to come to a truthful understanding when there is no teacher. Rabbi Singer cross references OT and the NT
so that we are able to actually SEE the contrast and why the NT is not based on the Hebrew Scriptures in truth. I plead for help to SEE the truth. His goal is to bring back the Jewish to the God of Abraham and in doing so has opened the eyes of Christians. We need a rabbi and he is mine . I praise HaShem for bringing him into my life to lead me.
This is so true. I am amazed over Singer's "broad" understanding and insight into even the more "unique" movements of christianity. I have had lots of experience with Jehovas Witnesses in the past. What Singer delievers here is a very delicate and respectful answer to a J.W.! Very precise and honest answer. I am impressed. Very good.
The caller seems like a good person genuinely seeking the truth. May Allah guide him.
I came to believe that Muhammad (peace be upon him) is God's final prophet and messenger 13 years ago, but if I had come into contact with Rabbi Tovia's material 13 years and 6 months ago instead of a Muslim convert, I would have begun the process to convert to Judaism. I know it mustn't mean much coming from a Muslim layman such as myself, but I appreciate the work this Rabbi is doing to clarify and defend tawheed.
Shalom `aleychem.

Totally my thoughts as a Muslim like yourself, although I was born into a Muslim family and society. If Islam wasn't a choice available to me, I'd definitely chose to follow the Torah as a Bney Noah. God doesn't accept a faith that say to him we hear and we disobey. We love you but we love another more than you or at least as much as we love you.
Anyone who thinks muhammad was a prophet that person is retarded,and dumb.
He invented the new god god of black Stone which Jews and Christians do not worship.
If muhammad was a prophet,the stupid dome in Jerusalem wouldn't exist.
and according to prophecy all a terrible end is coming for Muslims.
For 7 years Jews will collect their corpses....
This is why the rabbi feels sorry for Muslims,he also knows the prophecy.

But 3 Gods 👀 are 2 Gods to much, to calls monotheistic Religion !

I can’t understand that you as a women worship a Man 👨- but Jesus Christ ( the real One ) wouldn’t have you ! 😂😂😂
The only dump here, are you - don’t knows that Trinity isn’t One God.
And in the Old Testament or the origin that gave God to Moses called the ( Thorah ), God gave a statement of Himself !!!
He says:
I’m One ☝🏻
👉🏻Nobody can’t HIM seen, before the people/humans dies !!!
This is the reason why Prophet Moses can’t seen God.
He only heard HIM and spoke to God !
The burning 🔥 Bush was between Moses and God to Protect him ( not God ).
He where died !!!
Jesus Christ was seen from complete Jerusalem and the Roman soldiers
( I think 🤔 really no joke ) Jesus Christ can’t are God or Divine.
He don’t know the Judgement Day !
According to your N.Testament,s that not only was from him ( Jesus Christ ) .

There are of course similarities between Islam and Judaism but also differences. The rabbi sees Jesus in very much the same way as muslims do but he does not regard the Koran as the inerrant word of God.

As a Muslim that jews consider Bnai Noah and if I may say the bnai noah per excellence, You Must Believe in Jesus and the Seal of prophets that he prophesised and came 600 years after him it is better for you if you believe in One Creator and the day of Judgement.
Jews consider non-Jews B'nai Noah...WITHOUT requiring non-Jews to believe in Jesus OR the seal of the prophets. If one is CONSCIOUSLY B'nai Noah...one of the effects is...learning where one ultimately gets the best understanding. NOT from an alternative narrative.

"NOT from an alternative narrative." Alternative from what? Please specify so I can grab you from you tongue :P Salam.
Islam is a theocratical ideology and mixture of many world religions, that's includes idol worshipping rituals of Kabba, Hinduism, Zoroastrianism, Judaism, sabbians and nasara...
@Rada Bakri, out of curiosity, how do you find the Muslim view of JWs?
Monotheistic, believers in Jesus, without believing him God. Although, we disagree about Jesus being a human prophet and the account of his death, and are not convinced about Mohammad. Clearly points of disagreement, but would your interpretation of Islam condemn me to the same extent as polytheists?
@@lanazh2443 Tell us more, Scholar

But the old testament claims that "The soul that sinneth shall die. The father shall not suffer the iniquity of the son, nor the son shall not suffer the iniquity of the son. The righteousness of the righteous shall be upon himself and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon himself. If the wicked person turns away from all sins which he has committed he will surely live, he shall not die." (Ezekiel 18:20-21)
"The children shall not put to death for father's iniquity nor the father shall not be put to death for children's iniquity. Every man will die for their own sins." (Deuteronomy 24:16)
"Again, when I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; if he turns from his sin, and do that which is lawful and right; If the wicked restore the pledge, give again that he had robbed, walk in the statutes of life, without committing iniquity; he shall surely live, he shall not die. None of his sins that he hath committed shall be mentioned unto him: he hath done that which is lawful and right; he shall surely live." (Ezekiel 33:14-16)
For this verse of old testament, Muslims and Jews rejects that Jesus died for our sins. Even also it contradicts and goes against the old testament. But some people bring Isaiah 53 that propechy about a suffering a servant and this is Jesus. But honestly the propechy isn't referring Jesus if we read Isaiah 52 and Isaiah 54.
My only concern with this caller is that if he has indeed recognized the faults in Christological reasoning, then his faith will choke the more he sticks around. Unfortunately there's still much division within the Jewish community that necessary attention to the well-being of Noahides are at risk.
Yeah practically no community
Ironic because Jehovah Witnesses used to worship Jesus along with Jehovah until the 1950s and the New Testament has various verses where Jesus is worshipped while beings like angels and humans reject worship.
Alhandululah! May Allah (SwA) guide this brother in faith to the monotheistic truths of either Islam or Judaism. He will find in either a welcoming community that will make up for the social estrangement he will undoubtedly suffer. Bless you rabbi for setting this gentleman on the right path to divine acceptance…
What on earth? How are you a Muslim and making dua someone is guided to Judaism alongside Islam? You need to check your iman, educate yourself and stop spouting nonsense. Islam and Judaism both cannot be true. They oppose each other in core beliefs. There’s only one pathway to Allah and that is Islam.
@@samboy90 Each human being has a direct connection to Allah ta’ala. Nobody needs religion. Religions are man made and, history has proven, they can be evil and a source of great suffering for humanity. We don’t need priests, mullahs, sheikhs, gurus, bishops, monks, alims or any other such clergy to “guide” us. Allah ta’ala sent us in his final revelation the furqan that we might know right from wrong and that He vouched safe unlike earlier revelations. This is the only “education” one needs if one wishes to belong to those who submit to the will of our Lord. My advice to new Muslims from outside the culturally defined Arabic narrative is to stay clear of the dawah preachers. The Quran is in plain language and so obviates the need for the services of a religious leadership to interpret its meaning for us. Islam is not and was not ever intended to be a religion as such. Islam is what it has always been, the primordial faith that exists in the hearts of good men and women and that has been with us since the time of our father Adam (AS). This is why Allah (SWT) refers to all the pre-Mohammedan prophets as Muslim when the religion that exists in the world today and has the temerity to call itself Islam, did not even exist. The “nonsense” you speak of I get from our holy Creator in his final revelation to humanity. I use no other source in issues of faith/spirituality. If it appears nonsense to you, it is because it conflicts with what your religious leadership tells you. You have bound yourself to religious orthodoxy rather than to the word of our Lord, may He be praised and glorified. There is a difference, sir, between worshipping Allah ta’ala and worshipping your religion. Religious leadership has a vested interest in getting you to believe in this false equivalency. Buying into this brings one dangerously close to shirk. If you follow the word of Allah you will never go wrong but if you follow the word of men you’re just following someone else’s agenda. Read Quran every single day of your life. That, is your guide. May Allah in His infinite mercy bring you back to His loving embrace and protect you from the errors of religiosity. May the peace and blessing of our Lord be upon you day and night and all the days of your life.

Great video rabbi, they also belive that Jc was a god different of G-d and this makes no sense if you compare with the jewish bible, But they are the Christian group with more logic in their doctrines.
@ Kiruv Media, here the source: John 1 In the beginning etc... and the word was a god!!! Notice that this word, which they believe is Jesus, was "A" god... I don't think endorsing them only because they don't believe Jesus is devine is a good idea and meanwhile you disregard the fact that the founder of this cult was also involved in occultism (freemason, etc...)
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jehovah%27s_Witnesses_beliefs Read the Jc part and you can find in others source.
Haya 7 Yes, Jehovah's Witnesses do believe Jesus was "A" God, but the pharisees and scribes were also considered to be "gods". The word "god" means "mighty one" and is a term which was applied to all men of great knowledge and to men of great power in those days. Oh, and the person you refer to as their "founder" was not their founder and also was not involved in any form of the occult, nor was he a Freemason. I can provide you with proof of that easily enough. The following information comes from former Jehovah's Witness Barbara Anderson:
Back in 2001, I requested historical information from the ANCIENT ACCEPTED SCOTTISH RITE OF FREEMASONRY, VALLEY OF PITTSBURGH, PENNSYLVANIA, asking if Charles Taze Russell, his father, Joseph Lytel Russell, and his uncle, Charles Tays Russell, were Pennsylvania Freemasons. This is the answer I received in a letter:
“AFTER A SEARCH OF OUR RECORDS, WE DETERMINED THAT THE THREE RUSSELLS WERE NOT MEMBERS OF OUR ORGANIZATION.”
In their letter, the Pittsburgh Chapter recommended that I send an inquiry asking for further research into this question to the Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania located in Philadelphia - which I did. On April 27, 2001, I received this reply:
“THE RECORD BOOKS IN THE GRAND SECRETARY’S OFFICE ARE UNAVAILABLE AT THIS TIME AS THEY ARE BEING CONSERVED AND SHOULD BE BACK SOME TIME IN THE FALL.”
Inasmuch as I was very involved with other, more pressing things then, I did not follow-up and eventually my desire for resolution of this question faded out of my mind, that is, until September 2005 when I sent a follow-up email to the Masonic Temple, Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. Shortly thereafter, I received this reply:
DEAR MS. ANDERSON,
CHARLES TAZE RUSSELL WAS NOT A PENNSYLVANIA FREEMASON. NOR DOES HE APPEAR IN THE RECORDS OF ENGLAND OR IRELAND.
I SHALL CHECK THE RECORDS FOR THE OTHER TWO RUSSELLS.
BEST,
GLENYS A. WALDMAN
LIBRARIAN
I never checked back with Ms. Waldman to see whether the other two Russell’s were Pennsylvania Freemasons, but there has never been any evidence they were, so I didn’t bother.
In any event, I would hope the answer from a search of the original records will forever put this claim to rest that Charles Taze Russell was a Pennsylvania Freemason because he absolutely was not.

Isaiah 8:20, says to the law and to the testimony if they don't speak to this word is because their is no light in them.
Truth regarding the Witness's from the Rabbi.
I do not understand how any religion can black list one's family. I know as a Noah Hyde I could never blacklist my family even though they are Christian. I just find it mind boggling how the witnesses feel the way they do.
TOVIA IS ALWAYS THE BEST, I LOVE HEARING HIS LECTURES ALTHOUGH I AM A MUSLIM
I almost converted to the witnesses myself had i not sought their opinion on Israel. It was said the church had replaced Israel and i couldnt continue from that point. So i sought out another way.
If "human sacrifice is an abomination" then could you explain the Abraham/Isaac story from that perspective? Why would Abraham proceed to conduct an abominable command? Wouldn't he question whether he was hearing and following Satan? And doesn't Abraham's statement that "God will provide a sacrifice" constitute either a lie to Isaac or an inner disbelief that God would issue such an abominable command to begin with? And what kind of deception by God does that imply that He would command a human sacrifice to test Abraham's obedience to an abominable command while really He was planning an animal substitute? And lastly I suppose, why would Abraham's obedience to an abominable command be counted to him as "righteousness"? Thank you.
I used to study with them 20 years ago. I left after realizing the error of my ways. They freaked me out with the 144,000 from their take on it.
The 1984 study edition of the New World translation has a cross reference if one will use it study it it can teach them a lot
Thank you Rabbi for taking those who are misguided to the path of the one true God. May Hashem's/Allah's blessings be upon you
I would like the Rabbi to compare, and elucidate us in God's adopted son, and his begotten son. From a perspective of counter-balancing!
No human being could ever be righteous. In Jesus, God willingly determined to sacrifice Himself for the cleansing of all of humanity who would believe that He was the final sacrifice. All other Jewish sacrifices for sin were only a picture of God's love for man so that He (Jesus) became the only source of redemption for those who call upon His name. God chose to sacrifice Himself making salvation for mankind a free gift for those who believe. Jesus became our righteousness.
Wow !!! Human sacrifice for mankind’s sins ???!!! That’s disgusting !!!
@@ADove-5 I do agree it is very disgusting that God would give His life for the very people that spat upon Him, mocked Him and now reject Him. He did for you, so that you can have eternal life and you mock and reject your Savior. Salvation comes by Grace Alone.
@@11jimbo11 why does god say in Hosea 11;9
Behold for I am god not a man and in 1st Samuel 15;29 I am not a man I am god and do not change my mind
@@11jimbo11 how could god become man then ?
@@11jimbo11 also why do you refuse to exalt the father before all else ? This strikes me odd. Is it wrong to realize that the church openly admits to changing the original Hebrew to fit narrative when translating ???
Am I evil for following gods commandments ?
And also why if Jesus is the messiah was this not accomplished within his life as it was promised to the world in Isaiah 2:4 and the will learn war no more and they will what their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks
To the caller, I am very familiar with the witnesses. Please reach out to me.I am familiar with your struggle and confusion
unfortunately it's hard to get in contact with him.
You can leave me a comment on my UA-cam page. Sincerely Mikhael
One of many reasons why am a Muslim now
I know this isn't a debate with Rabbi singer, but I saw some points I wanted to respond to as a JW- (I'll use "Hashem" out of respect for rabbi Singer)
1- to clarify our view on Jesus and the Father a bit: our views are summed up nicely at John 17:3 and 1 Corinthiand 8:6. As a plain reading... not thinking "but he really meant something completely different." One God, the Father, Hashem. Jesus is the Christ whom He sent. We believe Jesus is the heavenly son of God, "The Word" in John 1:1 and throughout Zechariah. A servent of God that God anointed to a certain level of authority, but a finite being God has worked through since creation... but not God himself. We do not believe Jesus is coequal or coeternal. The correlation with Michael has quite a bit of backing, but isn't exactly a "hard doctrine."
2- the blood transfusion bit is a delicate topic. Not to push my own videos, but I made a video explaining that. Organ transplants aren't a matter of "changing our mind after people died, and forcing God to change his mind with us." ... rather, medical advancements and understandings change over time. No one thought germs existed until germ theory was substantiated... doesn't mean sicknesses "used to be caused by bad air until we invented germs." ... people learn. That's ok.
3- i wouldn't say we're "extreme foes" of the mainstream church... we simply have seen it and found it inaccurate.
4- at 6:30- I disagree with his stance on human sacrifice... it's not something asked of people, but in hebrew scriptures, it was asked of Abraham. Because Abraham was WILLING due to his faith, God spared him that need and provided a substitute. We see the greek scriptures (john 3:16) as Hashem following through with what he asked of Abraham. Jesus didn't come to abolish or oppose the original (mosaic) law, but to fulfill it. His judgement here isn't against the JWs in particular, but the Greek scriptures themselves.
5- 11:00 "why do you need to hand out pamphlets when you have a bible?" Because mainstream Christianity is still radically mislead by the effects of Constantine's church working so hard to hide truth. People clearly need a bit of help studying for themselves.
6- Solomon may not have spoken about the Messiah, but many hebrew texts have. Rabbi Singer and I would disagree on that being Jesus. But he would have to agree that a Messiah will bring about the world to come... we believe that could happen soon. We just call "the world to come" "the New System" and believe that to be what Michael spoke of in the book of Daniel.
7- 17:05 - the only reason they wouldn't come to your door would be if you wanted to be placed on the "do not call" list. If you ever want a bible study, you can request one at any time through the website and a local congregation would send someone. I can't travel, but I'd love to talk to you! I disagree with certain things, but have used some of the points you've made in my own conversations.
Would you be willing to have a discussion with me? If so I’d like to start by saying do you believe that the bible is the divine word of G-d and that it cannot have even one mistake since G-d is perfect?
@@tristanwarren9808 sorry, I don't believe I got a notification on this reply since I wasn't tagged.
Sure, I'm always looking for discussions and things to research. If you're still interested.
I'd be a bit cautious with that answer: God himself is infallible, yes. And I believe what was originally given was perfect.
I believe the scriptures have been -sufficiently- preserved, yes. But there are scribal errors and questionable texts, even in the Hebrew scriptures. For example, I'm skeptical of the divine inspiration of the book of Esther. Historical, sure, but the story seems very secular... People did this, and people did that, and people manipulated people so that one group wanted to kill another, but the second killed the first group instead... No prophecy. Very little mention of God at all. The account could be historical, and God could have been acting, without this being "infallible divinely inspired scripture, through which God teaches future generations."
I anticipate there is more truth that could have been beneficial, which has been lost to history. -Enough- has been preserved. But not 100% preserved with 0% imperfections as some KJV-only baptists would suggest.
I believe many cultures (particularly Rome) have done everything in their power to destroy or pervert as much scripture as they could. They didn't "succeed." But they did some damage.
@@morielrorschach8090 sorry for not tagging that’s my fault…How long have you been a witness?
@@tristanwarren9808slowest conversation ever! Lol. I'm a 3rd generation Witness. Been studying scripture and everything tangentially related to scripture my whole life. Including considering what a range of rabbis (from Chasidic to Karaite) suggest.
I'd still be interested in that conversation, but apparently life gets a bit busy. ... As this far in the conversation has taken 3 years.
What is the name of that song that plays at the end of your show and is it available?

Thank you
Mythraism is very close to what Xians believe. Born of virgin died for sins eat my body and blood be one with mythra. Was big in Tarsus where Paul came from....hmmmm
Mithraism is Catholic and Protestant country not so with the witnesses who reject the Trinity doctrine.
The best jewish rabbii
Paul Balkissoon A real orthodox Jewish rabbi...not messianic Christian fake one indeed. Shalom
Wow
I really doubt that this caller is one of Jehovah's Witnesses since he is so confused about what God's Word teaches. Of course this rabbi is going to tell him to stay away from them....they're not Jews! He also does not have some of his facts straight on what the JW believe.
Yeah, witnesses don't believe in vicarious atonement, and I wouldn't call them culty, I would say they're cheesy but concerned with reputation. As a witness trying to escape the streuggle myself, I've literally learned Hebrew and Greek, and Paul totally disagrees with Jesus himself. "Pray the end does not come on the sabath" Jesus says, but Paul says there is no sabbath. And praying *through* Jesus is technically idolatry. "the perfect representation of God… Pray in his name and you shall receive."
This is so important to someone that has come out of Christianity to know that their sins will be forgiven and it's so good to hear Rabbi Singer talk of this to this man who left the question. Once he is sure of this he will have the strength to move on and find his spiritual home, a new path.....his old church will shun him and his family which is sickening.....and the best way to deal with this is to move away like Avraham and Sarah did....and they will be blessed with good things in life.

Jw's also believe in the 144,000 in the NT to be the people in NY headquarters who they call them "anointed ones" who replaced Israel as the "anointed one. It is also called "spiritual israel' replacement theology.
Jw's also believe in the kingdom of God governed by their 'anointed ones" who will go to heavens co -heir with "Jesus"
Jw's also believe that they are the only ones to be saved from this world because they possess this special knowledge about their doctrines.
Jw's also believe that Jesus is the High Priest and the Archangel who pre existed before he became Jesus the only savior of the world.
Jw's also believe that they will preach to their loves ones in the 1000 year reign of Christ where people will have a second chance to repent.
Jw's also believe that Jesus appeared in 1914 ( the last days signs) called by their founder Charles Russell "the beginning of the gentiles period to come in. and whoever was born during these dates 1914-1937 will be part of the 144,000 anointed ones.
JW's also believe to know the "date" of the end of the world to be a certain 'date" proclaimed by their "anointed ones' in NY headquarters , the last claim was 2012 ( they foretold it like 7-10 times since 1914) and their next date future date is 2030.
The Jw's also believe in birth of Jesus to be "divine" by the Holy Spirit or "immaculate conception" like the Catholic Church.
JW's also believe in other weird doctrines that are part of Christianity as well.
Truly, it is an abomination if Gd Almighty literally made a human sacrifice just to absolve your sin.
Just wanna ask what bible translation you are using? 🤔 Thank you
I don't use a translation. My bible has only the hebrew in it. Same with any proper orthodox rabbi such as Rabbi Singer.
A more interesting question would have been what Tovia thinks of the letters from Rutherford to Hitler and how the JWs view the Jews.
That's not a jahovah witness,, he is a simpathiser at most. A Jahovah witness would never dare ask for guidance or opinion to no one other than their elders or governing body.
Did God accept human sacrifices at all? I know it says over and over that it is not good. But, what about Judges chapter 11 & chapter 12? Was there punishment for such actions?
One question, was Abraham not prepared to offer his own son as a human sacrifice instead God took a ram. In psalm 51 does it not say about offering bullocks on God's altar? Forgive my ignorance if I am wrong.
You didn't actually ask a question
JESUS said. I. Lay my live down .....(no one )could take it (from me.). Jesus said This temple/ flesh i will Raise it up in. 3 days ...God bless
The witnesses also believe they are the spiritual Israel. I hope Tovia sees this and responds.
Fun fact! Santa Claus (Saint Nicolaus) gave Arius a fat slap in the face on the first Council of Nicea. It was a very wild battle about the divinity of Christ. Many old men got red cards and had to go outside and calm themselves down that day 🤣
Converts are big treat for unGodly, alas it can be your own parent or perhaps nation, under the name of cult. However,
Blessed are those who fear G-d deep in their heart and soul thus DNA... victory and honor belongs to God Of IsraEL and His Inheritance
A righteous gentile reject and dont believe in Jesus and rejects vicarious atonement. And only believes in One God and rejects the Trinity.
Rabbi is being nice. It's super culty 🤣 coming from someone who was born and raised a jw and left.
