Daniel Matt | In The Beggining God Was Created! | Kabbalah Me Movie

[@miljenkobrkic]

Of course that the En Sof is above any imaginable God, because God is a representation, in human imagination, of the ultimate reality - in Kabbalah it is called En Sof (without limits, without end).

Even "hyper-literally" you would need a direct-object-pointer ("et") to immediately proceed the word "elohim" if you want "elohim" to be the object, the same way "et" appears before the words "shamaiyim" and "arets" in the very same verse; but alas, "et" does not appear before the word "elohim". The only way it would work without "et" before "elohim" is if we say that "elohim" is indefinite (ie: gods), but this approach would still be irrational because even if we consider "elohim" indefinite we would still need a v- (and) to be attached to the "et" which proceeds the word shamaiyim, but the verse includes no such vav.

I think you mean “Precede.”

There is no definite article in בראשית with shewa beneath the beith (b'reshith); it would need to be bAreshith for "in THE beginning." It is more properly understood, respecting the form of the Hebrew, "When Elohim began creating the heavens and the earth, the Earth was without form and without function." Elohim certainly is the subject in the construction בראשית ברא אלהים; in order to be the direct object, as Matt contends, it would have to be in the accusative case rather than the nominative. The accusative (direct object) is signaled by the untranslatable particle את, found introducing both of the objects here: השמים (the heavens) and הערץ (the earth) in the remainder of the verse.

The mentioned understanding is incorrect. That wasn't even proposed until Rashi in the mid 1100s, and its easily disproven as an option. The entire reason it was proposed is because of the difficulties that arise with understanding the first verse. It has absolutely nothing to do with reading it, nor its grammar. That part is simple. Its the implication. Not one ancient writer understood it in that manner. Bereshit, and its location in the sentence is not in construct. Solomon didnt understand it that way, the new testament didnt, the zohar, nor mishna/talmudic commentators, the targumist, nor any writing on Genesis up until Rashi, whether commentator or midrash. It has extensive theological implications not only because of the word chosen, but the remainder of the entire chapter as well, along with its close in 2:2-3.

PEACE... ! Please open line for me, I knock to your heart...kindly open it to me...its been a long time im waiting for the right man who can understand me to give me a confirmation for my spiritual and material journey...this is CALL FOR PEACE AND FOR THE UNITY OF HUMANITY.

[@nicholaslash8760]

If you want to read it literal then see on page 1 of the good book it says "god spoke everything into existence" on the same page, it says "you are made in his image" On the next page, "you are to only eat of the plants" 2 pages later make sacrifices of blood and fats. 2 pages later, god likes a burnt offerin of blood and animal sacrifice(abel) over a tithing of fruits and vegetables(cain) (thus contradicting the previous word)

[@nicholaslash8760]

We were obviously spirits living in a physical world (consciousness) whatever the tree of good and evil made a requirement to fashion a body to house the new emerging spirit.

Allow me to quote Tao Teh Tsing, it says in the beginning, there is The Path, then The Path became One, and One became Two and Two became innumerable...

[@busabusa5407]

I love Daniel Matt. He's the only Rabbi I know besides one other who knows of this great hidden secret.

[@OffgridTV]

How wonderful. Sharing ....

[@sanskritonapple]

In Latin, there is object case (Accusative), is Hebrew the same? If noun can be put anywhere in the sentence, without case, how to identify subject and object?

It = Creative Intelligence, created the God of Gods (Creative process).

[@hebrewgreek7420]

Where in the Zohar is this found?

[@321ssteeeeeve]

Verse 3: and He is saying, Elohim Verse 4: and He is seeing, Elohim and He is separating, Elohim This method of text continues throughout verses of Creation, action before Elohim

[@busabusa5407]

This is part of the problem concerning the so-called scriptures. People read the scriptures literally there for a misty complete and I emphasize the word complete understanding of what is being...... Daniel knows exactly what he is talking about you cannot read the scriptures literally if you have eyes to see you'll see it if you don't see it at this time then it is not meant for you to see at this time. If you will continue in your journey try to understand what is not before your eyes then and only then you may be blessed to understand. There Is No Nonsense coming out of his mouth. You have no idea who Sophia is, barbelo all of the Aeons and so forth. Once you understand who these entities are again maybe your eyes will understand you cannot understand with your physical understanding and physical eyes and with a puny brain trying to capture the unknown the Unseen the ineffable. May your journey be as you intend. Shalom!

[@lighthousemaccabee8133]

This sounds a like blasphemous. Nothing Created the Father...nope, definitely agree to disagree here...

[@ColtraneTaylor]

Brahma created God? Sounds like it.

This guy has never met God. And has never been to "the beginning" Good snake oil salesman.

was created Jesus Christ, in the beginning! God created Messiah..

[@InflatableGirlfriend]

I'd recommend a lot more kosher Torah study before trying to understand 'the messiah' and how it relates to Jesus.

[@eddihaskell]

How can there be a trinity of equals if father created a son? And who exactly do Christians pray to in Church? Jesus or His Father? I am a very respectful of Christianity but I have never been able to figure it out.

@@eddihaskell Often there is a misunderstanding regarding who the Lord Jesus Christ is, but according to the words of God, he IS God the Father, for the Father is his Soul. According to the holy scriptures, preserved in their purest form in *_the King James Bible,_* we are speaking of one and the same person and Creator, whether we speak of the Father or the Son. Each Member of the Godhead has its own function, but it is one and the same God-Jesus Christ having multiple functions-one of which is to mediate between God and men. *1 Timothy 2:5-6 **_KJB_* 5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; *6 Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.* In order for him to become the Mediator and ransom for all (blood atonement for sin, sins, and sinners), he needed to come down in flesh similar to men and be subject to our temptations while sinless *(Matthew 4:1-11; Hebrews 5:5-10; Hebrews 4:15),* and he got this nature from David's line through Mary *(Matthew 1),* but the seed came from the Holy Ghost *(Matthew 1:20),* and thus he is the Son of God and the Son of man simultaneously *(John 1; Luke 3:23-38).* Now the seed from the Holy Ghost that makes him the Son of God has to do with his Soul-which is the Father-and that's why the Lord Jesus Christ is 'The everlasting Father', 'The mighty God' *(Isaiah 9:6).* He is the IMAGE of the invisible God *(Colossians 1:12-17; 2 Corinthians 4:4; Hebrews 1:1-3; Colossians 3:9-11),* that is, the body of the Godhead *(Colossians 2:8-9).* The Lord Jesus calls himself 'I am' in *John 8:58;* in *Colossians 1:12-20,* he is explained as the Creator; the 'Word' is said to be God *(John 1:1)* - the capital 'Word' is the Lord Jesus Christ. *Hebrews 1:1-3 **_KJB_* 1 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, 2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by *his Son,* whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; 3 Who being the brightness of his glory, *and the express image of his person,* and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high; See that it says ‘of his person,’ when speaking of God the Father in context; the Son is the express image ‘of his person,’, and notice that it doesn’t say "person(s)" (plural).

Each Member of the Godhead has its own function, but it is one and the same God-Jesus Christ having multiple functions-one of which is to mediate between God and men. 1 Timothy 2:5-6 KJB 5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; 6 Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time. In order for him to become the Mediator and ransom for all (blood atonement for sin, sins, and sinners), he needed to come down in flesh similar to men and be subject to our temptations while sinless (Matthew 4:1-11; Hebrews 5:5-10; Hebrews 4:15), and he got this nature from David's line through Mary (Matthew 1), but the seed came from the Holy Ghost (Matthew 1:20), and thus he is the Son of God and the Son of man simultaneously (John 1; Luke 3:23-38). Now the seed from the Holy Ghost that makes him the Son of God has to do with his Soul-which is the Father-and that's why the Lord Jesus Christ is 'The everlasting Father', 'The mighty God' (Isaiah 9:6). He is the IMAGE of the invisible God (Colossians 1:12-17; 2 Corinthians 4:4; Hebrews 1:1-3; Colossians 3:9-11), that is, the body of the Godhead (Colossians 2:8-9). The Lord Jesus calls himself 'I am' in John 8:58; in Colossians 1:12-20, he is explained as the Creator; the 'Word' is said to be God (John 1:1) - the capital 'Word' is the Lord Jesus Christ. Hebrews 1:1-3 KJB 1 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, 2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; 3 Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high; See that it says ‘of his person,’ when speaking of God the Father in context; the Son is the express image ‘of his person,’, and notice that it doesn’t say "persons" (plural). We are speaking of one and the same person, whether we speak of the Father, the Son, or the Holy Ghost (Deuteronomy 6:4; James 2:19). The Lord Jesus Christ IS God the Father (Isaiah 9:6; John 14:6-9), for the Father is his Soul, of which Jesus Christ said 'dwelleth in me,' and 'doeth the works.' (John 14:10-11). God the Father = Soul The only begotten Son = Body The Holy Ghost = Spirit Man, being made in the similitude or likeness of God, also has a body, a soul, and a spirit (and the soul is the person). Colossians 2:8-9 KJB 8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. 9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.
