What Religion Gets WRONG About God

[@stevens8490]

I'm not Jewish but find your teaching to be more to the truth and make so much more sense. For most of my life I never felt comfortable with Christianity and felt something didn't add up and didn't make sense. I've been searching for a perfect and a reason for my life and I found it with your teaching. I thank God for the Jewish people and for keeping the word of God. God knew what he was doing when he made u his people. Thank u Rabbi Freeman and may God continue to use u to bring the words to the gentiles like myself. U r definitely a true man of God.

@@randiwaxman8412 Randi, with all due respect, in the Torah it’s written “the God of Avraham, the God of Yet’chak and the God of Ya’ah’kov. Meaning each person has his own God. Also Moses tell us that Ye.Ho.Ha the God of Israel and Ye.Ho.Ha the God that created every thing is the same God. (He is ONE) I’m not sure that other religions are talking about the same god?

You need to know, understand and believe the message or gospel of salvation and rightly divide the dispensations in the Holy Scriptures. This is the gospel of salvation: 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 KJV Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: Galatians 1.8 KJV But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed. From here depends the whole message of salvation.

I wasn't intending on watching the whole thing, I was intrigued by the title. But I was riveted and watched the whole thing right to the end. Thank you for the clarity and fresh insights, particularly the distinction between 'reaching up' to atone with the divine, and 'helping God reach down' to bring divinity into the world. I immediately thought about the difficult plight of Solomon, going to such great lengths to create a pure space for God to inhabit, while feeling the pressure to diversify and take an inclusive stance to other peoples and nations in order to thrive and grow as a kingdom. I think he began the work of bringing God into the world, but shifted his focus towards 'inviting' the world around about into the divine. This talk helps explain the consequent distancing or separation that follows with the last of the Judean Kings.

@@abdulwahidalhassani5129 nobody here is trying to make anyone lesser of value when jews say they( God's chosen) . God offered the Torah to many nations before the jews they all rejected it and even before flood God expressed regret having created humans because they were continously wicked since birth no one ever paid heed to his spirit of wisdom and knowledge and righteousness and life only one was the only one following Him and minding God's spirit. Likewise after the flood He attempted to give the Torah to many nations and they all rejected Him except Abraham, Tehran, and shem . In a way because we chose Him and looked for God among nations that could care less but believe in in their whatever politically religiously, cultists, God chose us because we want the Torah in our life that's what we said at Mount Sinai ' we will do and we will hear' . So you can't blame jews for being chosen by God everybody else rejected Him who's at fault? They shouldn't even be jealous their ancestors rejected God's covenant, anyone and all peoples are welcome ,but the question is are they willing to take up the covenant of God upon themselves and carry all the days of their life just like jews do ? Are you willing to fulfill the mitzvahs required by God made with us ? Are you willing to love your fellow brother as yourself? Are you willing to follow the commandments of God as best as your ability can help you ? That's what jews did at Mount Sinai we will do we will hear ,first we will do it no question asked , then we will hear Him no one refused to listen or rejected God. So gentiles love to persecute the jews because they jealous of what they missing and is their ancestors fault and their own ego that refuses to follow Torah just like we do they hate jews but they don't want to follow Torah instructions, so don't hate on jews just because they can't and refuse to follow God like we do their own ayin hara and yetzer hara doesn't let them open their heart and be receptive to God's spirit

I may not agree with him in a few things (and I mean very few) because of my personal experience I had with our Creator that took all my fears away (even the fear of death) long time ago. I believe that having a personal relationship with our Creator has nothing to do with our ethnic background, skin color, or our religious beliefs. but rather it has a lot to do with God's spirit in us.

Friedman is wrong starting at 1:35. He says we are not dependent on God. The "we" he always refers to is the Jews, not anybody else. So, who they are dependent on? The state? He never talks about a covenant where both parties have responsibilities according to the covenant. The covenant has built-in penalty clauses and the Jews suffered for failure to comply with the covenant. People like that he simplifies things - over simplifies them, in fact.

Both notions are true. We need the creation because the Creator created all things to his pleasure. He created all things so that he is needed. So he needs us to need him and that is the love relation. To have love we need to need each other. So the more you need the Creator the more you love him with all our heart and soul. That is why the Creator is so patient with all of us because he wants us to love him, to need him more than anything. If you don't need the Creator the Creator will not know you and will not need you anymore. And what happens to anything created by anything that is forgotten destruction, you are thrown into the bin, the trash can, the Abyss. This suffering is because you did not need the Creator, you even asked for a king, a man as a leader and the Creator saw that he was not needed anymore so the love between the Israelites was lost and so you were lost. And were given to destruction. As the Creator had lost his love and his hand of protection was lifted from the Israelites. Like all love relationship if there is no need of each other you will not stay together.

@Jacob Keys i think the best way to describe the experience of Ayahuasca is not so much 'worship' or 'serve', but 'participate'.

Genesis 3:22 And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever: Genesis 3:23 Therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken. Genesis 3:24 So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.

I will try to offer a glimpse of some connection if I can. It is the 'trespass' of eating of the forbidden fruit of knowledge that brings about the consequence : death.. So if man, having now been 'infected' by mortality, reaches out and eats of the fruit from the 'Tree of Life" this would be a much worse state of affairs, something like 'everlasting death'. The manner by which man came to 'knowledge' and would have come to eternal life seems to be 'backwards' or 'inverted', when compared to how these emanated or sprang forth from the divine. Man 'eats' them instead, and so sets in motion the opposite of creation, the 'Fall' is a descent deeper into time, causality and mortality. I hope that offers a bit of clarity, I only responded because I understand your frustrations, the creation drama does not make sense with any empirical rationalization, it forces us to try and comprehend from a deeper place.

@@markjohnson4217 The bible clearly states that man can’t touch the tree of life, as a consequence of disobedience, but Rabbi suggests repeatedly that life of a man, after his death, is still ethernal. This view, to me, seems in no connection with the story of the tree of life.

No man can save himself, not really. Our morality is flawed and our efforts to be God's stewards are flawed. Self righteousness wrapped in group identity is just as bad as oppressive religion. Until you understand that you'll keep getting bad results that seem unexplainable.. Many thanks for sharing this.
