+Marcos I just want you to know. The LORD and SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST will return the 2nd time to destroy ISLAM. JESUS is a ZIONIST. Here, read the PROPHECY of the 2nd coming of the LORD and SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST, ZECHARIAH 14:1 A day of the Lord is coming, Jerusalem, when your possessions will be plundered and divided up within your very walls. 2 I will gather all the nations to Jerusalem to fight against it; the city will be captured, the houses ransacked, and the women raped. Half of the city will go into exile, but the rest of the people will not be taken from the city. 3 Then the Lord will go out and fight against those nations, as he fights on a day of battle. 4 On that day his feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, east of Jerusalem, and the Mount of Olives will be split in two from east to west, forming a great valley, with half of the mountain moving north and half moving south. This is what Christ followers think will happen. They will DIVIDE Jerusalem. One state for Palestinian. One state for Israel. Once Palestinian get their side. Other Arabs will support them and build their military. From there, they will take the rest of Jerusalem as well as remaining land of Israel. Then, the beginning of Prophet Zechariah prophecy.

The verse describes the end times. You "WILL" find the Jews and the Idolators most hostile. A time when Jews, Hindus and trinitarian Christians will be most hostile towards you, that is NATO. The surah 5 also states that those among you who will make alliance with these Jews these Idolators these Christians will not be considered among you, that is Turkey (NATO member). However, one particular sect among the Christians which will be most affectionate towards the Muslims (those who are not arrogant Christians) is the Orthodox Church i.e Russia.

Jesus not being the Jewish messiah, means judaisms messiah isn't ever coming as the 2nd temple has been and gone.

[@johnpereira9755]

@@stephenbermingham6554 : I think the Jews got is it all wrong regarding the Messiah. They probably believed that the Messiah would be a Jewish king who would free them from their non-Jewish rulers. In 586 BC the Jews came under the rule of the Babylonians, in 540 BC under the Persians in 320 BC or thereabout under the Greeks, in 160BC or there about under the Romans. Herod in around 03 AD got all the male babies of the Jews killed and Jesus said His kingdom was not of this world and from the Scripture we learn His mission was to free the Jewish people from the bondage of Mosaic laws that had outlived their utility. But most of the Jews rejected Jesus. In the parable of the Wedding Feast, Jesus said the Kingdom of God will be taken away from the Jews and will be given to a people who will bear abundant fruit. Non-Jewish people in countries like Norway, Denmark, Switzerland, Austria, Ireland, Canada, New Zealand etc. accepted Jesus' teaching of love, forgiveness and non-violence and have established peaceful communities while Jews who rejected Jesus and instead believed in the eye for an eye law of Moses face violence and war almost on a daily basis. After the Romans the Jews came under the rule of Byzantines, next the Turks and finally the British following the Second World War. Yet the Messiah they hoped for did not come. Since 1948 AD, the Jews are a free state. They are their own rulers. So where is the need for the Messiah who will deliver them from their rulers?

[@arimoff]

Islam has been turned into a political ideology and you can thank islamists for that. When Avraham died, ishmael accepted that Itzhak got the inheritance to continue Avraham's work... same in the end days. Arabs will accept that G-d returned Jews to their endigenous land and will eventually build the Temple on the Temple Mount. The Temple on Temple mount is part of the end of days and a requirement by G-d. So weather arabs/Muslims like it or not, but they will accept that. How that will happen, you can ask G-d, but it will happen. Jewish scripture, from which qoran and islam was copied, already foretold that in the end of days arabs will give jews trouble in the land, but in the end, at the times of Moshiach, arabs will accept that the covenant of the Torah between G-d and people of the tribes of Israel is eternal and still active.

So fear Allah, and obey me." (Quran 3:50) The Quran also acknowledges that divine message has been sent to all in all languages and the Quran affirms the continuity of the divine message. "O ye People of the Book! believe in what We have (now) revealed, confirming what was (already) with you, before We change the face and fame of some (of you) beyond all recognition, and turn them hind wards, or curse them as We cursed the Sabbath-breakers, for the decision of Allah Must be carried out." (Quran 4:47) The same religion He has established for you as that which He enjoined on Noah - the which We have sent by inspiration to thee - and that which We enjoined on Abraham, Moses, and Jesus: Namely, that you should remain steadfast in religion, and make no divisions therein: to those who worship other things than Allah, hard is the (way) to which you call them.

Look how their societies are falling apart. Look how they kill each other. Look how the muslim lands - the rulers don't care if their people drink polluted water. The muslim/arab world is self-destructing. And Israel? It is the eighth power in the world, the leader in technology and innovation in every field and now the arabs are coming to Israel to solve their problems. You say misunderstanding.

Actually , there is proof from the Qu’ran that every Muslim must follow all the Jewish kosher laws. Mohammed says that Jews can eat in the homes of Muslims and visa versa…This clearly shows that all Muslims must seperate milk and meat and camel meat or milk is forbidden etc… also Muslims must keep all the kosher for Passover laws.

There isn't a single verse in the Quran that says Jews must leave the Torah or that Christians must leave the gospel teachings of Jesus. On the contrary, the Quran expects the Jews to follow the Torah: 5:43"How can they come to you for judgment when they already have the Torah which contains the decree of God! It does not take them long to disregard your judgment; they are not true believers." 5:44 " We had revealed the Torah, containing guidance and light. The Prophets who had submitted themselves to the will of God, judged the Jews by the laws of the Torah. So did the godly people and the Jewish scholars who remembered some parts of the Book of God and bore witness to it. Mankind, do not be afraid of people but have fear of Me. Do not sell My revelations for a paltry price. Those who do not judge by the laws of God are disbelievers." Christians are expected to follow the Gospel teachings. 5:46 "And We sent, following in their footsteps, Jesus son of Mary, confirming the Torah before him and We gave to him the Gospel, wherein is guidance and light, and confirming the Torah before it, as a guidance and an admonition unto the God-fearing." 2:62 "Verily! Those who believe and those who are Jews and Christians, and Sabians, whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day and do righteous good deeds shall have their reward with their Lord, on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve."

Not all Jews, not all Christians as well. See the context, who are those Christians mentioned in this channel title? Ar Rum: The Rum have been defeated In the NEAREST land. But they, after their defeat, will overcome. The nearest land, means christian part in east rather than west, right? They are orthodox, not the roman one. Are they different? Yes refers to Qur'an. When muslims ran away from mushreek Quraish, they went to Abyssinia (Ethiopia), they were Orthodox Christians. Crusades were launched by West Roman Christian wars, not Orthodox wars. Am I correct? Now, who are the Jews more hostile than Christians? They are who makes allies with West Christians, who own USA, FedRes, IMF, WB, and Nato. They who plan New World Order. We call them Zionist. Jews who are not part of that ally, are not hostile Jews as Qur'an points out. What about are muslims who join that ally? Al Maidah: And We have revealed to you, [O Muhammad], the Book in truth, confirming that which preceded it of the Scripture and as a criterion over it. So judge between them by what Allah has revealed and DO NOT FOLLOW their inclinations away from what has come to you of the truth. To each of you We prescribed a law and a method. Had Allah willed, He would have made you one NATION/ ORDER [united in religion/ path/ way of life/ order], but [No, He intended] to test you in what He has given you; so race to [all that is] good. To Allah is your return all together, and He will [then] inform you concerning that over which you used to differ. .. ..... O you who have believed, DO NOT TAKE the Jews and the Christians as allies, WHICH they are ALLIES of one another. And whoever is an ally to them among you - then indeed, he is [ONE/ PART] of them. Indeed, Allah guides NOT the WRONGDOING (Zalim) people. ......... Muslims who join that ally then Qur'an says they are Wrongdoers, THEY ARE part of Imperialist Zionist who has agenda to make all people in ONE ORDER, see the verses above, "he is [ONE/ PART] of them".. So, Qur'an some times talks groups (states or countries or parties), rather than personal matter.

Thank you Rabbi . Amazingly - and thanks to Dr. Mohammad Shahrour's method of modern reading of the word of Allah in which there should not be Synonyms (there is a reason why God would use a specific word) - the answer to your question at 7:06 , which can be frequently raised when studying religious text , is found in the Quran itself (see Quran Surat Aal-i-Imraan from 1 to 9...but specifically 7 ..its like WOAH!!..a verse in the book describing how to read the book..like a quick start guide or something) . The question of whether an instruction or any "point" made in the Quran is made for a specific time and place "moment" for us to conclude the lessons from it according to our time and/or place or it being a universal law , is the question of understanding the difference between "Nabi -Prophet" and "Rasool - Messenger" and how the prophet Mohammad PBUH had a position as a Man , a Rasool and A Nabi and the differences will make any human get goosebumps once understood , because it is almost like explaining human behavior that we all relate to , but via Allah's final messenger the one with no single miracle expect for a finite amount of Ayyat (verses) that we the followers of Muhammad PBUH believe are miracles , once reading the text again with this taken into account following the guide carefully the experience becomes something different because the word of God does not fail to be relevant in the heart of the believer. Please see what Dr. Mohammad Shahrour says about Islam vs Iman if you haven't already as it is the "Muhammad" way of accepting Jews and Christians as well as all believers of Al Tawheed (One) outside of the Abraham faith (Al Haneefiyya الحنيفية) in addition to no believers at all . Thank you Sir..Bless

Firstly I would like to say that I appreciate this kind of dialogue from our Jewish brethren. It is very much needed, in my opinion, especially seeing the problems that there are today between Muslims and Jews. I appreciate the honesty and the forthcoming attitude. And everything said was true. Its true, Muslims fortunately and unfortunately have a text which is complex and without proper study, yes, you DO get idiots like ISIS (may Allah destroy all who misuse His words and commands for their own greed and desires) and this kind of open hearted dialogue and understanding is what I pray Muslims and Jews will be able to achieve together in the future. Its important to have someone who will be honest and tell it straight when it's needed. Thank you for that. May Allah guide us all, keep us on the Truth and may He raise us all together under His shade and mercy in the hereafter. Ameen.

Rabbi i hope you take this in consideration there is a significant explanation of this verse done by a Moroccan Muslim philosopher and thinker his name is Muhammad Abed Al Jabiri , he passed a way just before few years , he says the Christians who the verse is referring to are not the trinitarian Christians , the verse is referring to monotheistic Unitarian early Christians called Ebionites . Ebionites were originally Jews who accepted Jesus as the messiah of the Jewish people but they did not give him any divine attributes and viewed him as a messenger and servant of of God almighty , thats exactly what the Muslims actually believe , furthermore the ebionites lived a very simple life where they isolated themselves from the surroundings and dedicated all their time for worship , lets not forget that the trinitarian Christians persecuted the Ebionites and accused them of heresy. so the christian Ebionites who were monotheistic Unitarians , who accepted Jesus as the servant and messenger of Almighty God and the messiah of the Jewish people , who kept the law of Moses are more close to us than Jews as the verse is telling

Soley to test. That changes the perspective of the book completely for me.

Interesting!! Your explanation is rational and well organized. It make sense to me. Because I'm from Yemen "South" and as I have been told by my father that Jewish were living peaceful until the British forced them to move to 🇵🇸 but the Yemeni Jewish in the north didn't move because they had a choice and they didn't trust the western (Jewish & Christian) . But when Israel was announced things have changed. Now majority of muslims may not have a problem with all Jewish but definitely they do have a problem with Israeli "Zionist" and I belive the majority of Jewish have problems with Muslims.

[@mrtee3988]

Adam Dilem If you had bothered to read the context, the very NEXT VERSE shows you the conclusion of people that "lie to promote God" *Romans 3:8 And not rather, (as we be slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say,) Let us do evil, that good may come? whose damnation is just.* Read the last four words over and over until you get it.... And also take note of Jesus: *1 Peter **2:22** Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:* Christianity hasn't changed we have thousands of manuscripts... if individuals have lusts and they twist Scriptures to fit their sinful lifestyle that has no bearing on the Holy Bible, or the message of Jesus, who said of himself he is the Way and to follow him, and he never told even one lie.

[@mrtee3988]

Adam Dilem It's not a "confession" by Paul lol, he is making an example of what others say... it's right there clear just read it!!! And then says there is a just damnation who did this crime. If Paul is forever an enemy of Christ, do tell me why the apostle Peter confirmed him: *2 Peter **3:15** And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you;* You really think a Christian won't take Peter seriously? Who is better to judge a true Christian message? "Enemy of the 12 apostles" you say.... why have you not read? I am Unitarian Christian I reject the Trinity, Jesus is the Son of God begotten divinely, he is Gods first ever creation. As Jesus said he came from Heaven and incarnated into a mortal body. So you have nothing to say to me about idolatry whatsoever. Also... the West isn't a "Christian" nation, it is infidel government, we loathe what they are promoting in our countries. *1 Peter **1:18**-19 Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:* ^You see? It is not "Paul" that made up the dying for sins thing. In Jesus own words, in perfect clarity: *Matthew **26:28** For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.*

[@saeedalmansoori6143]

+Mr tee thank God that we all love Jesus and we should follow him and do what he did circumcised, no swine, no alcohol and fell face down prayed to God as mentioned in the Bible. Jesus never claim divinity or asked people to worship him. Jesus warned all people who call him God in clear statement Matthew 7: 22 Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?’ 23 Then I will tell them plainly,‘I never knew you; depart from Me, youworkers of lawlessness.’

Shalom: שלום Peace; (desire for peace and well-being) Wisdom, Humility, Love, Freedom, Obedience, Mercy. Or all this when we live in ourselves, we transmit it in the form of peace. There are verses in the Torah, in the Bible, and in the Quran that say "When the believers come to you, say 'greetings to them'. Similarities between the scriptures, the Torah, the Bible and the Koran. Original Source: God of Abraham, the friend of God! Torah / Genesis 43:23 "Peace be with you" .................. I really enjoy your Rabbi videos. And I can swear that many Islamic scholars do not know the Quran as much as you do. Since I do not know English, I translate into Turkish from the translation button under the video, but the translation quality is not very good. I would be very happy if you could make technical improvements in this regard. .................. Shabbir Ahmed The Book of Life the Quran 3:7 (The Book He has sent down bears an important Principle.) He it is Who has revealed to you (O Prophet) the Scripture. In it some verses are Literal, while some verses are Allegorical. The verses that pertain to Permanent Values have been presented literally. These verses, MUHKAMAT, are the Essence of the Divine Law. On the other hand, abstract phenomena, historical events, and the World of the Unseen are described in similes, metaphors and allegories for your understanding (MUTASHABIHAT). But those who are given to crookedness in their hearts pursue the allegories and try to give them literal meanings, thus creating dissension. None knows their final meaning (of such as the Essence of God, His Throne, His Book of Decree, the Eternity) but God. Those who are well founded in knowledge understand why the allegories have been used and they keep drawing lessons from them (74:31). They proclaim the belief that the entire Book is from their Lord. As the human knowledge evolves, many of the other allegories will unfold their literal meaning (41:53). But only the men and women of understanding will bear this fact in mind. (Each of the verses in the Qur'an is MUHKAM, Absolute Truth and you can understand which ones are to be taken literally and which ones are to be taken allegorically, by the context (11:1), (47:20). And each verse in the Book complements the other (39:23)

@Suhail Zaidi But how you see Islam is the biggest problem in the world Zaidi. Abraham was the first monotheist. About Abraham is found in the Torah, the Jewish/Israelite holy book, the very word of God. Abraham was the father of many nations, but he had a special covenant with God through Isaac and Jacob and through Jacob's 12 sons, and this family's descendant were enslaved in Egypt. God took these Israelites (the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and Jacob's sons and their children) out of Egypt through Moses, (a descendant of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and Jacob's sons) and brought them to Mt. Sinai. At Mount Sinai, God gave Moses and the Israelite people the Torah which is the word of God. And he gave the Israelites 613 commandments to live by and also revealed in the Torah who he is and what he wants from the Israelite people. He also told them in that book what their future will be. The Israelite people (also known as the Jewish people) live the 613 commandments and serve God that way. They were chosen for a very difficult mission throughout the ages. Abraham was the first Israelite(the synonym is Jew) Abraham was not a Christian because the Christian belief in a man being God is not an Abrahamic belief and because Christ wasn't born yet. You are not telling the truth when you say that Islam is the "restoration of the religion of Abraham." Islam is the copy of the Israelite religion(synonym Jewish), in the style of Mohammed. Jews, due to Torah, pray 3 times a day facing east and Mohammed knew that so he made his religion 5 times a day praying facing east.That is a copy of the Jewish religion. Jews didn't eat pork. Mohamed made no pork for muslims. That is a copy of the Jewish relgiion. Jews due to Torah said circumcision, so Mohamed had circumcision. That is a copy of the Jewish Torah. How would you know that Abraham circumcised himself and his sons? It is written in the Jewish Torah and that is how Mohamed knew this. Jews due to Torah had to give Tzedakah, charity, so Mohamed made his religion giving charity. Islam is a copy of Judaism and Torah, except for Jihad and all the violence and not making pacts with infidels and dhimmis. The Jewish religion does not seek to convert others. The Jewish religion abhors violence and force. The Jewish religion says 1 law for Jews and everyone else in the Jewish country. So there Mohamed did not copy and that is what is wrong with Islam and Muslims. Jews had pilgramage to Jerusalem, due to Torah so Mohamed made a pilgramage. This has nothing to do with Abraham. Mohamed wanted his religion to appeal to Christians so he incorporated Jesus as a prophet in the hopes that the Jews, who could not accept Jesus as a God, could accept him as a prophet and take Islam as their religion. This has nothing to do with Abraham so stop your nonsense.This has to do with Mohamed growing up around Jews and Christians and wanting a unified religion and borrowing from the Torah and the New Testament and not going back to Abraham so stop the nonsense.
