Probably because of the same reason I left my he church! The Gd is with the Jewish nation!! Anyone reads and comprehends the Hebrew Bible can never continue life as a Xristian or Muslim. Torah is the TRUTH ❤ B”H

Judaic Noahide The Hebrew Bible prophesied a New Covenant (Jeremiah 31:31-34). It would have been given at some point after Judah’s return from the Babylonian Exile (Jeremiah 50:1-5). We also know the New Covenant would have provided atonement (Ezekiel 16:59-63) after Israel broke the Old Covenant (Deuteronomy 31:16, Jeremiah 11:10, Hosea 8:1, Isaiah 24:5). New Covenant means new agreement. A new agreement implies new instructions (a New Testament).

[@altinokz]

@@johnmann8659 We are all awaiting for the new covenant. Thank you.

[@johnmann8659]

@@altinokz Would that mean Israel has been without a Covenant for 2,000+ years? If an Old Covenant is broken, a New Covenant must replace it in succession.

What a resource you are Dr. Abramson, I appreciate that you cite the sources so thoroughly. I'm a new viewer and (similar to Bodo) I am a christian who have taken an interest in judaism and its history in order to understand Jesus and the bible better.

[@zafirjoe18]

Fascinating!! Thanks Doctor I read about Bodo Eliezer, didn’t know he was a part of the church. I read about him in the “World that was Ashkenaz “ . They learn him to be a reason for the decline in Christian Jewish relations in Carolinian rule . Agobard and his ilk used his conversion to say ;’ you see I told you so’ this is what happens when you’re too nice to the Jews. Another famous and probably the most important church figure to convert to Judaism was Andreas archbishop of Bari . (Bari fell under the influence of Constantinople). Andreas was influenced by Agobard’s story some hundred years later. He converted in Constantinople , but fled to muslim controlled Egypt.

Dr. Abramson. I found you online a number of years ago. I love Jewish history. I enjoy all the people and place you have taught over the years. You daf yomi podcast was also, for me, amazing. I appreciated the added historical info that you taught.Thank you. Took notes and will try to get Frank Reiss’ book.

Professor kindly make video on how Pakistan Movement and Israel creation have a lot in common to get self determination from majoritarian rule. It is said that pamphlet that started Pakistan movement i.e "Now or Never" by Ch. Rahmat Ali was influenced by the sentence of Auto-emancipation by Leon Pinkser.

[@MagnaMater2]

Thank you very much. I really enjoyed this topic. Is that book of 11:37 a palimpsest? If the text was only scraped out it can still be read under a different light. That would be highly fascinating.

[@roc7880]

Can you please do a series about the eatly Jewish presence in the New World?

[@AaronMiller-rh7rj]

There may be a video on that subject in the/his channel library. I believe I watched one.

[@charlesedwards5333]

In a later time he would have been subject to the jurisdiction of if the Inquisition but that's much later.

[@HenryAbramsonPhD]

True

[@EdHird]

Very interesting podcast, Henry. I always learn a lot from listening to you. I would enjoy hearing more about Bodo-Eleazar. Learning Hebrew can indeed affect how one views the Bible. I took two years of graduate Hebrew in preparation for my doctorate, something that really helped in my doctoral research on marriage and covenant renewal. The Tanach has a very rich undestanding of covenant. Many Christians simplistically think that there are only two covenants: the Old Covenant (Testament) and the New Covenant (Testament). I would be interested to hear you reflect more at some point on covenants, particularly on Jesus/Yeshua's interaction with the Hebrew covenants.

[@AaronMiller-rh7rj]

Interesting, what are the other covenants with God?

[@AaronMiller-rh7rj]

Hi, unless you are referring to Adam, Noah and Abraham...

[@EdHird]

@@AaronMiller-rh7rj Key covenants in the Tanach are the covenants with Noah, Abraham, Moses, David, and Jeremiah. There are other less prominent covenants mentioned n the Bible. Meredith Kline said that the discovery of the covenant connection with ancient Near Eastern treaties is more important than even the unearthing of the Dead Sea Scrolls. I would value hearing from Henry Abramson in a future podcast on covenants and history.

[@beeinthebodytorahclass2002]

​@@EdHird You overlooked the covenant with Adam. What did God promise Adam after he sinned? God promised Adam that He would send a Savior to destroy the works of satan and redeem mankind from the bondage of sin.

[@DavidLandau-ej6lj]

I have just discovered you Dr Abramson (!?) and I am blown away, thank you. 1. Surely 1211 is 4971 and not 4791? 2. Is there any evidence of their existence in Eretz Yisrael still today?

[@rickwisephotography]

What was the Hebrew bible that you mentioned with the commentary along with the verse from the Tanakh? I really enjoy your videos and now I'm happy to say that I'm part Italian based on your previous video.

[@zafirjoe18]

I couldn’t but notice your comment; The Doctor mentioned the Mikraot Gedolot . It was printed the first time by Daniel Bamberg in Venice early 16th century. It also served as the Hebrew Bible used by the translators of the king James . Google Mikraot Gedolot you’ll get the full list of classical commentaries included in the first edition and subsequent editions.

[@HenryAbramsonPhD]

Mikraot Gedolot. I think there’s a new English translation.

[@AlanEKranz]

It’s possible that Bodo’s polemic against Christianity was somewhat buffered from danger by the fact that at the time he was living in a Muslim country, Al Andalus.

[@HenryAbramsonPhD]

Absolutely. Not a coincidence at all.

[@lazmotron]

Rabbi, I am a Catholic. I like you channel very much. What do you think of the Jewish Conservative / Republican / Attorney / Media Commentator Ben Shapiro? Are you Pro or Con?

[@KateGladstone]

You said his name was “Eliezer”: but in the title, you wrote “Eleazar” instead. They are different names, although similar: Eliezer = אליעזר BUT Eleazar = אלעזר

[@EliasPulido-sf6mp]

Greating kind teacher ive noticed you have a hastey breath teacher and there is a teaching a teaching that says breath is thought. If your breath is hastey good lord that could be indicative of a hastey spirit. This could he a huge problem amongst our people.

[@granolabean1]

Alot questions? Questions about questions?

[@beeinthebodytorahclass2002]

Very interesting video! Apparently his pilgrimage to Rome (the seat of the antichrist) opened his eyes to the fact that catholicism is not true Christianity and Yeshua was not catholic but was a Torah observant Jew who taught the Law of Moses. If all catholics would read the Bible they would come to the same conclusion.

Torah and New Testament together, the objective at the end is to make us one people under Yeshua Hamashiach. All the 1st century writings byJews one was a pharisee, are bringing the full understanding that repentance for sin personally is between yourself and Hamashiach, keeping the 10 comandments and feasts in glorifying him and memory of what is to come. Revelation lays out salvation. Combined in psalms ect ect. Yeshua is amazing! My mother is from A Coruna spain, my biological father was said to be from Austria.
