There are lots of things that pass through a person's mind throughout life. The harder the life, the deeper the thought, the bigger the struggle. No need to pretend, life can be really hard! There is a lot of people in a much worse situation than ourselves so I refuse to remain ungrateful for too long when I'm down. We all get down, That is what keeps us humble! I pray for all who struggle with these things because the fact is, Life is much harder for some folks than others and we all need to be more receptive to one another! God Bless!

Why Are There Demons? Ezekiel 20:25,26; "… Moreover, I (Yahweh) gave them (Israel) STATUTES that were NOT GOOD and RULES by which they could NOT HAVE LIFE, and I (Yahweh) DEFILED them through their very GIFT'S in their offering up ALL their FIRST-BORN (child sacrifice) that I (Yahweh) might DEVASTATE them. I did it that they might know that I am the LORD (Yahweh)…" Deuteronomy 32:17; "They sacrificed to demons, not Eloah, to elohim (powerful ones,) - they had not known them before - To new ones that came from nearby; Your fathers were not HORRIFIED by them..." John 8.42-47; EmmanuEl, (EL with us), NOT Yahweh's messiah, told the Pharisees ‘If God (EL) were your Father, you would love me. After all, I’m here, and I came from God (EL) . . . You come from your father, the devil, and you desire to do what your father wants you to do. The devil was a murderer from the beginning. He has never been truthful. He doesn’t know what the truth is. Whenever he tells a lie, he’s doing what comes naturally to him. He’s a liar and the father of lies. So you don’t believe me because I tell the truth . . . The person who belongs to God (EL) understands what God (EL) says. You don’t understand because you don’t belong to God (EL).’” The deity the Pharisees considered to be their father was unequivocally Yahweh. Yahweh also perfectly fits the devil description that EmmanuEl assigns to the father of the Pharisees. The English bible uses LORD, GOD, DEVIL and SATAN and masks the true identity of Yahweh (the slanderer and the accuser) A son of the most high (ELYON) was deliberately searching for the descendants of the former occupants of the fallen Northern Kingdom, where many monarchs still worshiped El. Revelation 12:9; "That ancient snake, named Devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world." Exodus 32:27; "Moses instructed the Levites to carry out murder: “This is what Yahweh Elohim (Yahweh, one of the powerful ones) of Israel says: Each of you put on your sword. Go back and forth from one end of the camp to the other, and kill your relatives, friends, and neighbours.” And: Exodus 32:29; “Moses said: ‘Today you are ordained as Yahweh’s priests. God (Yahweh) gave you a blessing today because each of you fought with your own sons and brothers.’” The significance of the Bible saying EmmanuEL could not come from the Levitical priesthood, describing him as a distinctly different type of priest, and then directly saying he would come from the line (order) of Melchizedek, priest of Elyon (EL most high) Ps... Jesus is NOT Yahweh's son. NOR as some Christians teach, that Jesus is Yahweh... That which is BORN of FLESH is FLESH; That which is BORN from ABOVE is SPIRITUAL (a new creation)

Well, Rabbi, I'm listening to you in old England, and I'm puzzled by your reference to the damp little grey rock I live on. I've always found it to be a place where, until very recently, free thought and enquiry into matters religious were seen as our birthright. I've met Christians of all stripes and always felt that their beliefs were somehow misaligned with Tanakh. I have to say that your teachings have revealed why, and for that, I'm very grateful.

I have noticed how some shows and cartoons kind of enter relate animals or maniacs with demons. It kind of helps us get clues to our world. Plots in every story help us find meaning and helps us find hope in our hearts that their will be peace some day. The believed dragan kind of relates to animals in that they act on a desire to eat so it makes us think that they are scary and that they deserve to go to hell because of needed desires outside of their free will . For me I hope that we will all have peace some day including demons in our new earth.

[@yosefbenavraham]

​@@VikVaughnMISC Lol, I have no idea what you're talking about. Fine tuning is a scientific term used in cosmological physics to denote the fact that the universe requires a very narrow window of physical values and constants to exist. If any of these physical constants varied even a minute amount (slight difference in electron charge, slight difference in the gravitational constant, etc.) , life as we know it, as well as the universe itself, wouldn't be possible. So why are those laws and constants exactly right to allow for a universe and for life to exist, instead of some other values? Just by coincidence? Millions and millions of physical values just coincidentally happened to be exactly right and coordinated with each other to allow life, with no life being possible if even one of those values were different?

[@VikVaughnMISC]

@@yosefbenavraham Fine tuning" isn't a scientific term at all lol. No scientist uses this term. Only apologists use it as an argument for why God must exist. There isn't a 'very narrow window' of physical values. There's a broad range. Strong nuclear force: 50% greater or lesser would be too distorted for life, weak nuclear force: a factor of 10, cosmological constant: a few orders of magnitude. . You also don't know if different parameters would make life impossible. Weak apologetics and even weaker understanding of "fine tuning". It's a meme and has been debunked by people far smarter than you or I.

I don't think non-believers misappropriate terms like good and bad, they just apply it to their own standard, most often, a Golden Rule ethic: do not do unto others that which, if done to you, would be unwanted. This is why, BTW, a non-believer can assert slavery is wrong and a 'bible believer' cannot. Why? Because the God of the bible permits slavery (certain conditions apply). See Leviticus 25. Slavery therefore is good in the biblical view as God would never sanction something that was evil or bad, whereas, to humans (who can relate empathetically to other humans) would never want to be considered another human's property and live as a slave.

Genesis 6 shows how spiritual egos ("angels") descended into human bodies (into the "daughters of men", "Eve"). That part of these egos ("spirits", "self"), which were backward in their development, that is, materialistic, incarnated too deeply into the bodies of (still in dream state) people (Adam-species). These became the "evil" (giant) Nephilim bloodline, which was largely destroyed during the flood. Since (almost) all suitable physical bodies were destroyed in the flood, these (now materialistic and coarse) egos could no longer find bodies in which they could reincarnate. Thus, those egos who belonged to the Nephilim bloodline were imprisoned in the post-death state of purgatory (Hades, Tartarus), the dark ethereal atmosphere of the earth. They are now mere ethereal but hardened shadows (ghosts), prisoners of themselves, that gradually decay if they are unable to absorb life-force from living bodies or temporarily possess them. Transhumanism aims to create suitable vessels (bodies) for them. Some people have followed the example of these original disembodied "demons" (disembodied Nephilim spirits), through black magic. They cultivate the power of their animal-soul, stolen from the Divine ego. Such hardened spiritual shells, separated from their higher principle (materialistic, "unclean"), can survive for aeons slowly decaying in the etheric realm like ghosts, trying to take over people's bodies. Their fate is the Biblical "lake of fire", where they will finally disintegrate into the original natural elements and no longer exist. But the higher ego, that originally animated these lower but still intelligent "shells", is responsible for the effects they produce (karma).

God is going to end evil and injustice. He does not love them or think they are "necessary forever." However, Adam and Eve did choose to see (experiment) what a world with "good and evil" would be like. The result was death, as He had warned. Had they not chosen that, there would be no death and no iniquity here. You can't believe God will conquer death AND there will be iniquity and injustice. Psalm 21 Your hand will lay hold on all your enemies; your right hand will seize your foes. 9 When you appear for battle, you will burn them up as in a blazing furnace. The Lord will swallow them up in his wrath, and his fire will consume them. 10 You will destroy their descendants from the earth, their posterity from mankind. 11 Though they plot evil against you and devise wicked schemes, they cannot succeed. 12 You will make them turn their backs when you aim at them with drawn bow. 13 Be exalted in your strength, Lord; we will sing and praise your might.

[@christopherchmiel7872]

I believe the whole point of intelligent creation, both spiritual and physical, was how freewill plays out. Those that choose God will reside with Him eternally and those that don’t won’t. God doesn’t want to rule by tyranny. He wants subjects in His Kingdom that are there because they want to be. The Serpent of Old wanted to be God, his temptation to Eve was she could be like God. That’s his kingdom. Evil has its role because the choice has to be clearly defined and the evil that exists in the spiritual realm actively wants you chose it. It wars against those that love God. The Watchers that descended on Mt Hermon to take the daughters of men in Genesis 6, with Nephalim as offspring, abandoned their holy position by choice. How about we talk about Israel’s conquests against the Rephahim. Who are Princes of Greece and Persia restraining an Angel to get to Daniel? Why did the Archangel Michael have to intervene? The supernatural world is highly intelligent, beyond our understanding. The world nor Gods operation stopped 2000 years ago. The New Testament is the continuation and further revelation of Gods purposes and designs.

The body of man is what causes him to sin, and it is the duty of the soul and intellect to control and channel it/be as angelic as possible, that is all King David is saying in verse 7, that all humans have an innate tendency to seek physical desires which cause them to be able and sin, similar to what is says in psalm 103 verse 14.

[@roccocarlino067]

Firstly, we must consider the vices in order to understand the origin of sin. In the same way, we couldn’t discuss butter without first considering milk. The cause of evil and sin began with the advent of the five dominant vices infiltrating the soul. Ego, Lust, Attachment, Anger and Greed. These are subtle and invisible, so the only way we can describe them is by metaphor. Consider these vices the influence which enables us to commit sinful acts, similar to a drunk driver under the influence of alcohol. In terms of cause and effect - the cause is vice, the effect is sin. Because vices are intangible, they can’t be measured or quantified. Over the ages, religious teachings placed a tangible stamp on the vices, depicting them as the Devil, Satan, Ravan, fallen Angels, a Serpent, Demons and various other incarnations. However, in reality, they are impurities which have a negative influence on the soul. When we recognise and accept our impurities, we begin to take the first steps of courage towards reforming our character.

Always an excellent presentation rabbi. However, I have a question for anyone who can answer this. I’m not a native Hebrew speaker I was a Christian. So I have to rely on the translations (commentaries as Rabbi says). I went and I looked up the Hebrew word used in the concordance. That’s translated to Demon here, and I found that it is only used twice in tanakh. Shedim? What are everyone’s thoughts on the lack of presence of demons in Tanakh ? How come the Christians gravitated towards the Greek ideas about how demons operated? Also, when it says, for example, that ha Shem Sent an evil spirit to torment King Saul would that be considered a demon too? I looked it up in the concordance once again, because I don’t speak. Hebrew and I saw that that was a different set of wording. Anyway, I’m rambling on here. I hope somebody that is a native Hebrew speaker. Here can help me out.

When God makes people afraid it is called an evil spirit from God in Samuel 16:14-23. 1. God anointed the messiah king David in Samuel 16:13 and the spirit of God passed over the messiah king David from that day onwards. 2. The spirit of God departed from Saul and an evil spirit frightened Saul meaning God made Saul afraid in Samuel 16:14. 3. An evil spirit of God is frightening Saul means God made Saul afraid in Samuel 16:15. 4. When the spirit of God made Saul afraid, David would take a harp and play it, and Saul would be relieved, and the spirit of evil would depart from him meaning God would remove fear from Saul. . In Judaism and Noahidism and Islam there are no fallen angels meaning angels never rebel against God. If angels could rebel against God then no human would be able to trust the word of God which comes from the angels of God. God created angels as His messengers meaning angels cannot rebel against God. Every prophet trusted the word of angels because they never rebel against God. If angels could rebel against God then no prophet would be able to trust the word of God which is delivered by the angels of God.

[@samvoron1727]

In Judaism and Islam there are no rebellious angels. There are rebellious angels in Christianity. In Judaism and Islam angels always obey God. There are angels that disobey God in Christianity. In Judaism and Islam angels do not physically fight with each other. There are angels who physically fight with each other in Christianity. . Satan means "adversary" or "opposer" in Tanakh Jewish scripture and can be an earthly or heavenly creature. “Satan” means to obstruct or oppose. “The Satan” can be an earthly or heavenly creature. .

Satan meaning adversary is a human opponent in 2 Samuel 19:23. . D. Satan meaning adversary is a human accuser who talks to a judge in Psalm 109:6. . E. Satan meaning adversary is an angel opposer sent by God to stop Balaam from going to curse Israel in Numbers 22:22. . F. Satan meaning adversary is an angel in the heavenly council who reports the affairs of humans to God and is allowed by God to test the faith of Job without harming Job in Job 1:6-1:12. . G. Satan meaning adversary is an angel accuser in the heavenly council who talks to God accusing humans of sin in Zechariah 3:1. . H. Satan meaning adversary is an angel who tests the righteousness of humans by provoking them to act against the commandments of God in 1 Chronicles 21:1 exactly according to what God commanded in 2 Samuel 24:1. . i. Satan meaning adversary is an angel accuser in the heavenly council who is the prosecutor accusing humans of sin even when God tells Satan that Job is righteous meaning Job has no sin in the sight of God in Job 2:3-2:5.

@@samvoron1727 thanks for clearing that up. It makes a lot of sense what caused the Book of Enoch to fall out of favor amongst Jews I know the Qumran community held it to be sacred ? and it’s held sacred by Christians early on? As the fallen angel and meeting with human motif is Greek of origin and not Jewish?

[@samvoron1727]

@@Ian_622 All books which mention fallen angels are rejected because in Tanakh angels never disobey God. All books like the Book of Enoch, Book of Jubilees and the Book of Revelation which teach that there are rebellious angels are not from God because they contradict the teachings of God in Tanakh Jewish scriptures where angels are the messengers of God.

The answer to the question is quite easily found in the verse which is: They sacrificed to demons, which have no power, deities they did not know, new things that only recently came, which your forefathers did not fear. These things didn't exist to begin with. They have no power, "new things that only recently came" etc. They're basically idols. Does this refute what Rav Singer says? No. He doesn't even like to use the word "Demons" for obvious reasons. He's talking about Satan i.e. negative force that can tempt you. The point is....they cannot possess you nor can they force you to do something evil. You do it. End of story. If this wasn't true then the entire Torah is false....which it isn't.

In Pauline theology (which is pagan, and taught to him by the Pharisees and the spirrit that appeared to him on the wilderness road and a private room), yes. That is what Paul teaches. That is not what the Messiah teaches. Deut 13 and 32, and Psalm 82, talk about these deceiving spirits.

[@ahmadfitri7976]

I guess that's why to most Christian during the Middle Ages gives little thought about infants. And some proceed to just permit baby sacrifices. We Muslim have that same periods as well, it's called Jahiliah and at that time our ancestors weren't even Muslim. When Islam came, Quran mentioned that when we humans are born, we are without sins. Like a white clean sheet. Whether we be evil or not, our parents and the society that will shape it. And when we reached maturity it will be on our hands, what we did, whether be evil or good. And that is the test.

Not to mention that Christian just love translating things to Greco-Roman norm to justify everything in their religion. Even the name Jesus Christ. If he is the true Messiah and came back, he would not respond to that name calling. It's just not his name. Jesus is just Hail Zeus. And Christ is just a short form of a verb Christos meaning the Anointed one. And even with common saying English norm, you can't be anointed into being a son.

[@tomlawhon6515]

Original sin theory is not universal in Christianity. The opposite is supported by the book of Revelation and passages in Paul's writing have been interpreted as making all man responsible for the sin of Adam, but this is not a conclusion that is enjoined by his words themselves. The place in Revelation is in dealing with a separate judgment from the resurrection of the just, also called the holy and blessed. It is the general resurrection of the people who are not conspicuously just who have the books opened of all they ever did, and those not found in the Lamb's book of life are rejected. This means that everyone starts out in the book called the book of life. It is the record of all who ever lived. God said that whomever sins against him he will blot out of his book. It also implies that it was known from the beginning who would be in the book. Many people have been blotted out of the book, but been forgiven and their sins erased. Nevertheless, God always knew who would make it, and whom would not. The books, plural, with the record of whom will be saved and whom will not is opened to justify God's judgement, which is always backed up by the facts. God's ways are just. Man's ways are unjust.

To understand this universe we need, first, to understand the Grand Unification of the Four Universal Field Forces. Einstein mentioned them and searched for them. In fact, the unification is carefully massaged into the Holy Bible. We aren't expected to understand them...they are far too profound...but they make passage through the universe quite reasonable to understand so that Almighty God has no problems with it. But...more importantly...passage through our own, individual, life, is deemed more important. This is why Jesus came to visit us...to teach us God's Science.
