Would you lecture about those importantes times, when there were Helenized Jewish (sofisticated and cultured) and Macabbeos (fanatical religiously), what according to history, took to Civil War, where the helenized jewish were massacrated for Macabbeos. Hanukkah celebrations is my understanding starts from this.

[@Chicharrera.]

I learned through the study of yoga that the reason God created the world (whole universe) was to experience itself through love. God is self shining, self evident but, just as a torch can bring light to other objects but cannot illuminate itself, God is unable to experience it's own beingness. It needs a subject object relationship for this to happen. So it created the universe in order to have direct experience of itself. Love is the feeling we seek and feel when we have merged with God and have become one with it. In other words, love is the experience of God knowing itself. The purpose of life is to seek and experience love so that God can know itself and feel love too.

[@gracechoy5715]

I enjoyed the lecture and would like to share some thoughts. Regarding the statement, “Philosophy starts with the Greeks”, I would like to say the following: While it is true that the Greeks are most noted for their contributions to the study of philosophy, it seems it started long before the time of the Greeks, didn’t it? The Jewish writings themselves include philosophy (most notably in Job and Ecclesiastes, for instance). I also found the professor’s comparisons of reason and revelation as well as God’s providence and man’s free agency interesting. Regarding reason and revelation, I would propose however that while reason may be used to try and explain revelation, it may not always be successful. But this does not mean that a particular revelation is negated. Likewise, regarding God’s providence and our free will, again, while this paradox may not be explainable, it does not mean the two are mutually exclusive. Revelatory truth is truth whether reason can be explained it or not. I would also like to add that I agree with the professor’s rhetorical statement: “Can God? The answer is yes!” Shouldn’t this then include the possibility that God has revealed Himself to us as a human being in the historical person of Yeshua of Nazareth? To the objection that God cannot be a tri-unity, I say: why not? Just as we cannot explain or understand fully God’s omniprovidence (as well as omniscience, omnipresence, etc.), likewise why should it be expected that we must explain His Nature as a tri-unity that is Echad (One)?

When Moses sent by God to the people of Hebrews, Moses asked; "when the Hebrews will ask me which god is sent me? what will i tell them?" The God answered: tell them: "i am the existence" Or 'I am the existing". Or "I am the Being" Or: "Ehye Asher Rhye" Meaning: Ehye (i will be) Asher (that/whatever) Ehye (i will be) Or "Never mind" When my parents see great human blessed/achivment they impress by the divine blessed by saing: "Rhye Asher Rhye"

So the Greeks started philosophy? Or just the word to describe what previous cultures also did... The Ancient Egyptians didn't have "philosophy"? I guess they build hundreds of pyramids just because...lol Didn't Moses learn in Ancient Egypt? There are many books one could read to argue the point. Seek and you shall find many references in the scriptures from Ancient Egypt . Or just accept what they teach without question... Read more book/lectures from both points of view and check their references.

[@jaspernewcomb5656]

Well that was 8 years ago do you still believe the same today? I don't understand the term "Jewish Philosophy" because there is no Jewish Philosophy. What is a Jewish? If you believe Torah then you understand God created one Man. It also follows that there is only one Man in the whole story and that the Storyteller breaks him down to his parts as the story unfolds. Jew and Gentile are the duality of Man's nature, all people are part Jew and part Gentile because life on this planet is where the physical and the spiritual meet. The Bible is Philosophy that's the conclusion of the story and it comes full circle to end back where it started. A straight time line isn't right and neither is Jewish Philosophy.

Do you think that someone make your house, even though you have never seen them? The house is the evidence of the builder. Same with this universe. It had a beginning, therefore it had to have a cause. And that cause, is God. This universe could not have created itself. So do you think God cares about how we live? If He has given us morality so that we have set up a system of law with courts and judges, how much more would the supreme ruler of the universe demand justice? Have you ever lied, stolen the smallest thing or thought a rude thought? If these were the things God would judge us by, would He find us innocent or guilty? The answer? Guilty. Sinning against an infinite authority figure brings infinite punishment. Hell. So how can we stop going to hell? Does doing good deeds take away our sins? If I get a speeding ticket in the morning, then do 5bgood things, should the judge let me go free? No, the fine has to be paid. What about asking for forgives? If a criminal stands before a judge and says, I'm really sorry... Should the judge let him go free? No, because that would be corrupt. Justice has to be paid. God is merciful, but not so at the expense of justice. The only way we can go to heaven is if someone pays our hell punishment for us. Jesus lived a perfect sinless life and then took all of God's wrath for our sins upon Himself on the cross. Since jesus paid 100% of our sins, there is none left for us to pay. Our punishment has been paid and we get off scot free. Justice has been paid and Gods mercy has been upheld. Our good deeds don't save us. Nor do they contribute anything to our salvation. Jesus paid it all. Just acknow your sins, and accept this gift of Jesus Christ to go to heaven.

Welcome in the USA, Japanese Medicine Companies have taken 100% of the government authorized hospital and pharmacy market, and western medicine companies have been abandoned in the USA. We accept President Hillary Rodham Clinton's decision to fund these eastern companies and encourage more jungian Japanese psychologists to move to USA and practice at our hospitals especially in the mental health units for fair pay and honor. We are experiencing much less drug abuse in the USA even now only a week after the official switch.
