God by definition is perfect so how can he have a need which constitutes a lack?

[@isabelhadasa6092]

Why did Gd create us? To not be lonely. Gd is One. Imagine how lonely. We know Gd can be kind, wrathful, jealous... so many words in the Bible showing us that Gd has feelings. A need is not a a lack and vulnerability is not weakness. A plant needs sun to grow. Needing the sun doesn't make it weak. A "perfect" plant with everything a plant is supposed to have still needs sun. A plant is not lacking because it needs the sun. A plant is growing because it needs the sun. In the same way, Gd is not lacking or fallible in any way yet needs us. Of course, Gd is not a plant and we are not the sun. Gd cannot die - but our good deeds and choices can invite Him, expand His presence in the earthly realm. And we are not taken for granted like sunlight by a plant. Because we have to choose to serve Gd. He designed us this way because of his need for a relationship with us. If we were designed without free will, our service would not fulfill his need. It would be meaningless to Him. Gd is Gd because he needs us. Like a father is a father because he needs his children. A good father needs his children. A father who has no need for his children? Careless, negligent, absent, the opposite of a good father. And Gd is a perfect father, so the enormity of His need for us is probably beyond our comprehension.

The 48 Star US flag received by President Hoover at the White House in 1930 the Rebbe Rayatz carried across the sea with him and which the Rebbe latter transformed it into a 50 star flag making the US flag a prophecy of Geula revealing the 50th Gate of Understanding with the 6 and 7 stripes of the two Rebbes.

[@mountainair]

The notion of time and the direction of causality were quite different near the big bang vs how we understand it, but that's another story. You can see human-centric thinking in deifying matter, or that which caused it to come into existence. And what if spacetime has always existed in some form, then the question who started it all is moot. There is just something and not nothing. If you want to call that something God, do so. But if you want to give it preferences like those born of human brains, I think that's taking a leap people like Hitch found objectionable.

[@ModelCitizenTube]

I asked OU Israel this: "Would it be safe to infer that if the creator spoke to one other than Moses, that people may become envious and break the do not covet mitzvah? Like, "where's my divine intervention!? I want a conversation with Hashem!! Why doesn't G dash D talk to me!?". That sort of thing? And why send messengers to speak on his behalf after Moses? Or if one was to receive word, wouldn't they need to keep it to themselves based on the mentioned scenario?"

Opa how old are You?

[@1GoodWoman]

Hello Rabbi Friedman. Wonderful and thank you. As usual I have a question…..yes from what read in the Torah, admittedly in English, the book says G*d is male, again, and again and again. But G*d created us with the ability to learn, change and grow. We know language changes over time because people change. Plus translating anything is very complicated so assuming the words, even in the same language are meaning today what they meant when written…..well that word assuming(and the joke that assume makes an a!? Out of u and me) is my ponder. We now know of animals, critters if you will to include all life forms above the cellular level, can reproduce alone, no he or she needed . So maybe G*d is both also? Yes we would need a new simple word as a descriptor but we invent words all the time. I suggest it is time to do these things…and instead of commandments I suggest foundations…perhaps Asimov was on to something more than even he realized. as a word for G*d neither he or she some ideas: esh(same letters different arrangement), ehesh( all the letters in he she), but somehow I imagine/hope the Jewish scholars, linguists, gematria experts will be able to figure out something good and find a way to link it to better translations. How much pain and suffering will be diminished in our world once this is done? Yes it can at first seem silly but medicine, science and lived experience show us the entirety of the word is not binary so why must G*d be? Because a book says so, one written by men from a time when physical size controlled much of life, including in the family and women did not have any real ability to not be impregnated, willingly or not? This seems very wrong on so many levels. You are very respected so please think about this. ( I worked in operating rooms and have seen babies with physical organs of both sexes…..it happens. Maybe G*d has left us a hint across time is my thought). Oh vey maybe but also l’chaim! Nu?

[@StevenAdams-q2d]

Hello. Shalom. One thing to know is God probably isn't male or female in any traditional sense. I personally am okay with people not using he when describing God. One thing to know is that especially in the olden time periods men carried more authority like you mentioned. The reason God is called he is because he is viewed as an authority figure. If you don't want to gender God that is between you and God. I find it hard to believe God would take offense to it. Your heart should know. Interestingly many people of early Judaism believed God had a wife Asherah. They got rid of the idea, so I see no reason why you have to keep things traditional gender wise.

[@msd5808]

i thought it was assumed that God is not a man or woman, or animal, or even physical

@@msd5808 I think this true, worth noting we were made in his image. The topic was gendering God though. Lots of perspectives to look at. From traditional to more lax. I don't think we should judge how others see it. It depends on how one sees the word he/him.

Elijah has returned, as prophesied, and testifies. GOD is the Mind that is ALL. There simply ISN'T anything else.

[@Mr._Anderpson]

It could be said the atheist is humble enough to receive a question like what happened at the beginning and say, "I don't know". To cross the gap between acknowledging the universe exists and stating there is a god who doesn't think I should eat bacon is a massive leap. Could there be or could there have been a god? Maybe. Even the ones who believe in it can't agree on its characteristics or what it wants after millennia of hashing the idea around. I'd prefer not to limit myself to the Judaic worldview or any idea which proposes a god until they can get their ducks in a row and solidify what it is. Scientists propose different ideas, but it rarely occurs that a person's scientific ideas depend on their culture or geography. Math is universal. 42 in the US is 42 in Japan and 42 in Zimbabwe, even if it is written or said differently. I don't hate religion. It just seems like a case of assuming the conclusion and then slapping together reasons to support it rather than following what may be known. A good way I heard it said is we could lose all knowledge of the periodic table and in time mankind would recreate it exactly. Lose all knowledge of the Torah or any holy book and it'll never reappear in an identical fashion. If it isn't replicable, it seems less likely to be true. Best wishes to you, sir. You seem an even-keeled & wise sort. I enjoy listening to your perspective even if I don't agree with it.

[@splashenful]

That's more of the view of an agnostic, rather than an atheist.

[@Mr._Anderpson]

@@splashenful Oh no. Hair-splitting time, and here I am without my razor. Think of it like a Venn diagram. You'll find significant overlap between the two. Also remember an atheist doesn't say a god doesn't exist. They simply say they do not profess belief in one and find the arguments for one uncompelling. An atheist saying they don't know what happened before the Big Bang doesn't mean they're agnostic. Atheism as I understand it is a rejection of theism, which claims to know a god exists and understand it to some degree. I just try to be generous. I wasn't there and neither was any other human, so I can't really say with any authority. Another question is one for metaphysics or quantum physics. How can we have anything "before" the beginning of time itself? We have very little data to form a basis for speculation. Someone saying they know raises more suspicion in me than someone who doesn't. Cheers & thanks for that.

[@Mr._Anderpson]

@@splashenful Agnosticism is saying it is unknown & likely unknowable. Atheism is a rejection of theism, the idea humans both know & understand a god and its wishes. If you think of it like a Venn diagram, you'll find considerable overlap between the two. In life, things rarely boil down to simple bracketed groups.

I give praise to the simplicity, sobriety, regularity, and industry of Jews. There are highly intelligent and cultivated people among the Jews and I would be wrong to attribute to a whole nation the vices of some individuals."

[@promagnuman]

OK i have a problem with that. Judaism teaches God sustains the universe and everything in it or it would disappear. So how can God need us more than we need him? Without him we would cease to exist. There has to be a better way to get your point across. To me it would be more accurate to say God wants us and everything he made. His infinite caring wants us to be happy in all that we do. Thats why there is so much beauty in everything down to the last particle.

Gods name isn't God. So when english translations say God it isn't referring to a deflation of God. Yahweh is used the 1st time is Abraham's story(A God personal to Abraham ) on the Mt. with Isaac. Before its el or elohim is used and yes these are not capitalized these are not names of God. Since there isn't a theological statement till after the "Fall" When Lord (Adonai) is used the 1st time. Yes the writing and word selection from the original translators (those scribes that were in exiled in Babylon ) is intentional. Genesis itself came from Oral tradition .

This would mean NO purpose to anything other than what intelligent creatures ascribe. To go further, what if, if god exists and created the universe and us, Earth/ Humanity has a purpose, but none of us is important enough to have a higher purpose of our own save for statistics? I mean, god would be huge. If he/she created the whole universe and presumably has knowledge of what happens even at its ends, at distances further than light could travel to due to distance and expansion rate, we'd be to him/her less than a grain of sand on the beach is to us.
