ANSWERS TO A PASTOR

Gutman Locks answers fundamental questions about Judaism for Pastor Joel Kramer.

[@gutmanlocks]

We have always had prophets but no one separates us from our Father. He is Infinite and Merciful and available to all

[@gutmanlocks]

Science changes their minds from time to time. The Torah has never changed.

[@gutmanlocks]

Deuteronomy 4:39 "...in the Heavens above and upon the Earth below, there is no other."

[@MrAffram77]

serve the creator,Not the creation

[@gutmanlocks]

Jeremiah 31:28 “Everyone will die for his own iniquity”

[@DKB786]

Rabbi Locks, I'm an American Muslim woman and love watching your videos. I have learned a lot about Judaism by doing so, and reading your responses to people's comments. You are blessed to be born into such a great religion. I look forward to seeing more videos from you. Shalom.

[@stephanieda2276]

When i was a christian,i was told that jesus was the only man in history to keep all of g-d laws, and he was the only person ever who truly kept the 10 commandments, but he broke the sabbath. now I'm seeing all these contradictions. i will be converting to judaism. because no matter how many times i tried to stay christian as i was slipping away, no now could answer my questions except for jews.

[@redwoodowl]

4:34 I love how the birds started fluttering in the background at the moment Rabbi Locks started talking about serving G-d. Beautiful!

[@mbaroz666]

Hello rabbi Locks! I want to say that im speechless!!! You explain things so bright and simple in a way i never hard or understood before... Wowwwww!!! Im prode to be jewish Thank you And be bless.

[@blackscreen1764]

That's a brilliant explanation, I love Judaism although I'm not Jewish once I investigated about Judaism I felt I love and I feel this connection since, wish you all the peace, loved this video.

[@donnarosenberg7758]

an amazing, gentle, true explanation. A beautiful personable wise man

[@fernandorojas-xd8jc]

I like this rabbi, he is very straight to the point ...

[@gutmanlocks]

All people should keep the 7 Commandments of Noah. Keeping these will give you a wonderful life in this world and a share in the World to Come.

[@BTphosheezy]

I'm not even a believer in any of this but I am studying Hebrew and this video just made me smile.

[@sahinkarakusss]

i never loved any religios man before... but this man is miracules hi has a very sweet toung....wish him the best and long live people need man like him

[@Chrisoula17]

I'm Christian and Rabbi Locks makes perfect sense.

[@gutmanlocks]

G-d gave man free will so man can earn his rewards or punishments. This does not make our will superior to His will. We were created to choose and that is what we do.

[@gutmanlocks]

The reward is according to the deeds. G-d loves all of His creation and when we do good GOOD will come to us. Be well

[@McGyver777ATGMAIL]

Rabbi Locks is an amazing teacher, should we all have such simple answers to wonderful questions: serve the Father...does not get simpler than that. Wonderful video.

[@tanweerahmed9412]

straight and simple answers. Keep up the good works.

[@mhasson33]

I'm wondering what the Pastor gentleman is up to these days and how this conversation impacted his life

[@gutmanlocks]

"The names of the gods of other's you shall not mention, nor shall your mouth cause it to be heard." Exodus 23:13

[@eagle6702]

Great video. I'm an agnostic Jew but I like what you say. I keep telling non Jews that you cannot forgive someone for their sins. You can only forgive them for the sins they did to you.

[@leslieckc]

Praise the LORD my Messiah is not in the grave !....That's why I am saved !!!

[@aviyahu01]

this video is one of my favorites! i'm a bal teshuvah, i get tears from this one. thank you for this rov!

[@jenethehottie]

This should be titled "What Every Jew Contemplating to Become a Christian Should Watch and Think About." Thank you very much for this.

[@gutmanlocks]

The Messiah will be a Jewish man of flesh and blood whose father is from the tribe of King David which is the tribe of Judah.

[@luluhernz8902]

I just love your way!

[@seanjohnson475]

Witness the birds acknowledging the truth of the Rabbi's words!

[@rdcarbo1831]

Thank you Rabbi Gutman from a Cuban whose father was a Jew.

[@gutmanlocks]

If you are a Buddhist you will especially enjoy seeing the video, The Jewish Sound of One Hand Clapping.

[@robingreenbaum1843]

I am not religious myself and don't take sides with either religion but I liked that you seemed to know more about Christianity than the Pastor knew about Judaism. So often, people criticize a religion (or any perspective) without understanding what it is.

[@PaulTTN]

This is very enlightening and empowering. He is very brave to tell the truth right away without the fear of being persecuted by the Christians who could watch and could disagree. Thanks for that enlightenment and empowerment.

[@SeifertToddM]

"I form the light, and create darkness; I make peace, and create evil; I am the LORD, that doeth all these things." Isaiah 45:7

[@gutmanlocks]

chris, the one who restores the Temple and your choice did not do that. The one who brings peace in the family not war like your choice said he came for. One whose father is from the tribe of Judah and your choice does not even have a Jewish father according to your book! Do yourself a favor. Just worship the Infinite Father and pray that the messiah will come very soon. be well

[@nabeelahmed1067]

as a muslim i like Gutman Locks explanation about God "go to the father...go to the king" "no man will die for another's sins" thats what we are tought as muslims salam (peace) be on you all

[@mrswilliamstoyou3325]

Bless you, Rabbi. Blessed is the name of HaShem. Blessed is the Moshiach who is to come. May he come soon and in our day. :)

[@gutmanlocks]

Abraham was in the land, but he did not personally inherit the Land, and this is one of the proofs that the righteous will be resurrected from death. Stay tuned it won't be long now! Redemption is happening

[@gutmanlocks]

It is forbidden to say the names of their gods.

[@easygoer4ever985]

Thanks so much Rabbi! We have so many verses in the Jewish Bible telling us that G-d has NO FORM at all, and that G-d is Not a man, G-d is Not a mortal and Not a human. These Xtians respond by stating well there is no verse in the Jewish Bible stating that G-d can't become one. As if that means anything at all? No. There is no verse stating G-d can't become a horse,dog,cat,etc etc. But we know G-d is Unlimited,Infinite,Eternal and has No Form, and cannot become limited and finite. How typical of these Xtians.

[@pccj316]

Rabbi!!! i love your wisdom and love and utter sincerity. I am a Christian man if Jesus is not the Messiah then Christians are of all men to be pitied we would be the most horrendous Idolitors among the nations God would judge us and would be just to do so. I love the Torah and all the prophets, BUT i am a Gentile and have no way of being born into the house of Israel what must i do? it is only in the New Testament where i find that by coming to Jesus and repenting of my sin that I can be adopted "spiritually" into the house of Israel "being born again" which happend to me. It was only in Jesus that i found that hope. I believe His salvation would spread to the nations and Jesus is the only one ive ever heard of that granted that. As a gentile who has sinned against God, Jesus is the only one I can put my hope in I know of no other. I love you Rabbi!!! do you see why gentiles cling to Jesus for dear life!!?? haha Grace and peace Rabbi Locks

[@gutmanlocks]

You are reading from a x-ian translation so you do not understand what is written. It is a shame that you are wasting your life. For instance, at least three times Isaiah names that servant yet you ignore that because you want him to be talking about your fictitious idol. Yacov, Israel is named as the servant. Your man god is not everywhere. G-d is everywhere. But you will not change because of what i show you. You will have to find it yourself.

[@LuffytheLightbringer]

If you're worried about salvation dont worry just be a good person

[@gutmanlocks]

Learn the 7 commandments of Noah and move forward. See the videos, "A Light Unto the Nations-Noah and Abraham" and "G-d is Everywhere" You will do fine- be well

[@Rogue_Paramedic]

I`m a black male whose fathers side is christian and whose mothers side is Jewish. I thank G-D that HE provided someone like you to speak the truth to the masses. Thanks for all the great videos. Please post more! :-)

[@raizely4141]

Thank you Rabbi for this video! I used to be catholic, and now I'm converting to Judaism. This video works well with catholicism too. And the thing you say about hinduism is very enlightening also for catholics, because catholic 'mystic' has the same idea.

[@gutmanlocks]

Raizel Y Be sure that your conversion is approved by an Orthodox Jewish religious court or it will not be accepted by religious community. be well

[@raizely4141]

Gutman Locks Thank you Rabbi for your kindness. I'm already in touch with Orthodox Rabbis. Thank you for helping people like you do. Your work is so precious.

[@gutmanlocks]

When you turn your heart to someone you are showing them love When you turn your heart away from someone you are turning away from them, showing them disfavor, hatred The prophet said in the end days right before the Redemption G-d is going to send the prophet to bring the children's hearts to their fathers & their fathers' hearts to them This means that there will be peace between them The "new" book quotes their man/god saying that he did not come to bring peace in the family but only war

[@u.s_nyc8513]

thanks rabbi gutman locks allways great to listen

[@gutmanlocks]

"The soul that sins, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son..." Ezekiel 18:20

[@RapperNamedQUICK]

I have watched this video several times and I will continue to because it is an amazing video, thank you so much Rabbi Gutman. I would also like to mention that the pastor is actually a very great Archeologist and I love his documentary's.

[@ChillColdplay]

One other thing that deserves mention: The "virgin birth". When the torah was translated into greek, the hebrew word meaning "young-maiden" was mistranslated into "virgin." Nowhere in the tanach does it state that the birth of meshiach will be from a virgin, but rather, it will be from a young maiden. Even Abraham and Sarah had their child through natural conception, despite the miraculous age at which sarah gave birth to isaac

[@El.Muerto]

Very nice interview.

[@danlnad]

Mr Gutman, i want to thank you for making this video and enlightening me. You took your time, not to degrade, but help others. A Jewish friend of mine pointed me to your channel here when i had some questions. Like i told my friend, i don't go to a christian to learn about Judaism, i go to a Jew. Shalom!

[@PaulyD623]

Rabbi, what are your feelings on those of us who are Jews, yet we found Y'shua to be the Promised One? He is the Prophet mentioned in Deuteronomy 18:18. When I was growing up, I was not allowed to even read the New Testament, so when I hit my teen years, I finally had the opportunity to read it for myself. There is such life behind these scriptures. G-d poured His grace out upon His Apostles. Also, the reason Y'shua brouht war, is because G-d's Word creates division among people. Shalom.

[@deborahstewart2322]

Your answer to the pastor are a blessing to hear, I have been struggling for a while ,been raised Baptist all my life, but in the last few years,came out of religion,seeking the true Father. thank you.

[@marcelo16]

Hey Rav Locks, your videos are very inspiring.

[@gutmanlocks]

Isaiah 53 sounds like you want it to sound because you ignore the facts Isaiah wrote in 41:8 "You, Israel are my servant Jacob you are my servant" In chap 49:3 Isaiah says “You are My servant Israel” There is no reason to imagine that the servant spoken of in 53, or anywhere else is a different servant than the one the Prophet already named & it is not the one you are voting for. It is Israel who is also call Jacob (i.e. The Jewish people) You are inventing scripture to fit your hopes.

[@Rebornblader]

Very enlightening video Mr. Locks

[@ComradeAgopian]

As a Christian , we obviously disagree with some things . But you are a honest man of faith , with obvious intelligence and love for God . That is why I subscribe to your channel Rabbi . I learn from those I disagree with .

[@longlivethe80s]

Wow!!! This is great! I think I have found what I have been looking for! Thank you!

[@jaevierum]

Dear Rabbi, I've been looking for the answers you gave in this video in so many books and never got anything even close to this. I was raised as a catholic, but as soon as I sincerely started to seek for God this questions about Jesus' divinity would not leave me in peace. A jewish american family sent me the Torah, a book of prayers and songs, and some other books about judaism, and now I feel that I've found my real faith. Do you think that I could convert to judaism, formaly?. Shalom.

[@gutmanlocks]

If you are not Jewish you should follow the 7 Commandments that G-d gave to Noah. This will give you a wonderful life in this world and a share in the World to Come. Check out such sites as AskNoah.org Be well

[@gutmanlocks]

You do not have to become a Jew to be pure. It all depends on our deeds. Hashem bless you with many opportunities to help many people learn the truth.

[@ptp44444]

Gutman, it was a pleasure meeting you a couple of weeks ago at the Western Wall during my first visit to Israel. In this video, I'm impressed with the way both you and Pastor Kramer had a polite discussion. Keep up the great work! G-d Bless you and your family!

[@paulgarcia3652]

Thank you so much Rabbi Locks for making it so clear may GOD give you full 120 years Bless Hashem the Blessed One [ Amen.]

[@TheAnuchild]

Thank you Rav. Locks!! Awesome!

[@yovelaviv]

AMAZING!

[@gutmanlocks]

After the Redemption the Revelation of G-d will be even greater than It was in Biblical times. Stay tuned. It should be here real soon.

[@gutmanlocks]

How about where he is quoted as saying "When you look at me, you are looking at the Father"

[@yovelaviv]

AMAZING! the Rabbi was spot on! Very easy to understand and i loved that he kept on returning to just worship the king, since he is the infinite one after all.

[@2222pauline]

Mr Gutman Locks sir : I come to this video from time to time to read Your Comments. You are a Good Person. I appreciate Your kind words. This from a one G-d Pentecostal from TEXAS.

[@gutmanlocks]

For some good ideas on this look at the experience of the giving of the 10 Commandments on Mt Sinai

[@jimmyjam9014]

Sorry Rabbi for commenting so much on this video but I want to tell you that these past 2 days have been amazing. I have been reading a researching the Bible and have come to the conclusion that Jesus isn't the messiah! I am now a true Noahide! I am also thinking of becoming a Jew (even if it's not necessary for salvation) because I want to be pure and honor God, and to guard and spread the Word of the Torah. We will see where God leads me. Thank you Rabbi! Your love of God touched my heart! :)

[@TheAnuchild]

Thank Rav. Locks!! Awesome!

[@Braglemaster123]

Wonderful and true.

[@777Godsgift777]

OMG that guys is awsome wow great speech GOD BLESS

[@EliGoldsmith]

great and interesting and imp!

[@gutmanlocks]

The clearest Torah example of the principle that Jewish lineage goes according to the mother is seen with Avraham and Sarah. Their son Isaac was a Jew (Hebrew) because Sarah was a “Jew”. Yet Avraham and Hagar’s son Ishmael was an Egyptian, because his mother was an Egyptian. But, the actual Biblical halachic (Jewish law) reference is found in the book of Deuteronomy. We are warned against intermarriage, “…you shall not give your daughter to his son, and you shall not take his daughter for your son, for he will cause your child to turn away from after Me and they will worship the gods of others…” The commentaries explain that “he will cause your child …” refers to the non Jewish man “married” to your daughter who will cause “your child” to turn away…that is… the children of your daughter are yours (Jews). It does not say that “she (the non Jewish “wife”) will take your children away because her children are not considered yours in this sense. The fact is that mothers have a much closer bond with their children than do fathers, and this bond is not just emotional, it is spiritual, too.

[@gutmanlocks]

G-d is Infinite. The Infinite is unlimited, so It is everywhere. According to your book that man you worship is not in the grave. Psalms says "If I am in hell G-d is there" G-d is everywhere. Your man-god is not everywhere. You are worshiping a limited god. This is idolatry. Worship the Father, the King, the Infinite One.

[@gutmanlocks]

G-d fills and surrounds all. There is nothing beside G-d. You are worshiping a form and this is idolatry. Worship the Holy One Who is everywhere and not a man who is not in the grave (nor my heart-thank G-d)

[@gutmanlocks]

G-d is present everywhere at all times. The Bible there is referring to G-d's revealed presence which is reserved only for certain times and places and people

[@gutmanlocks]

Just worship the Father, the King and stop worshiping a limited man-god. You want the best for yourself, don't you. Use your head. G-d is everywhere. That man-god is not everywhere.

[@gutmanlocks]

Read the Buddhist bible for their opinion and then there are other bibles too. Why do you chose to believe only your little bible when there are so many others out there? You did not see what happened if it happened at all and you are betting your eternal life on a tale that someone told you, and he too did not see it but only heard it from someone else who did not see it.

[@MrRavenize]

ILoved this Rabai.... I couldn't agree more....

[@pinchiguero]

I'm glad two people of different faiths could come together and have an argument without it being hostile, but just getting clarification from one another and walking away peacefully.

[@gutmanlocks]

A plural ending can mean more than one as in people or it can mean multiple without implying more than one as in water. The ending you are referring to in the creation is the same ending as for myim (water) and we say that the water in the ocean is a single body of water. Judaism teaches that all things have a soul, even the inanimate objects.

[@mosheashkenzi447]

well thats a great answer! remmeber u dont have to be a jew to surve god!

[@gutmanlocks]

"Know this day and take it to your heart that the L-rd is G-d in the Heaven above and upon the earth below, there is nothing else." Deuteronomy 4:39 G-d is infinite. There is nothing else.

[@Athenian888]

Thank you very much,I appreciate you took the time to answer.

[@jntcollege]

right BUT the SON didn't die for the FATHER, He died for us

[@Blackviking11]

This is great

when the rabbi says "He's the Creator of all"...the birds suddenly flock like crazy behind him. :)

where can i get book of five books of moses..availble in india or any link

[@FSAYED04]

You have made a great point sir.

[@gutmanlocks]

The prohibition of picking plants on Sabbath is learned from the command to build the Tabernacle & them being told to stop for Sabbath. We learn the laws of Sabbath from here. There were 39 categories of work required to build the Tabernacle that had to stop & one of these was harvesting plants.

[@gutmanlocks]

G-d gives us back according to our deeds, both good and bad, and He does this to guide us to proper living.

[@NormBa]

it's nice to see a civil debate

[@RadagastDaltrey]

Rabbi where is that passage that you cite at about 5:00 concerning forgiveness of sins? Becouse that is HUGE oversight by us Christians, and I can't quote it credibly without its location in the Torah.
