A Jewish is going to teach me the Torah and suggested I listen to Rabbi Singer. I am seeing the great devotion to Jewish Scripture and the ongoing emphasis on One God. But the negative is witnessing the profound loss of the reality of Christ completely bypassing our actual experience in Him, the personal encounter with His Divine presence common among so many millions of people down through time and today. Christ is not about just text in the Word, it is about Personhood, new life, the directive to pick up one’s cross daily and follow Him enduring to the end, and recognizing Christ in our neighbor, not just in our kin, but any person, including a Jew. His presence is transforming. He likewise says the kingdom is most dear, difficult to enter. The battle is over our hearts, to be compassionate, to love. To have the universal perspective on the human condition and live it. There are countless many who experienced Him that they had no desire to marry or be of this world, living perfection solely for God. The monasteries have done great good for surrounding populations down through history. Salvation is for those who endure to the end.

[@user-je8wi5we1b]

My prayer for the Jews is they realize the compassion so many Christians have for the Jewish people, that they forgive the past counter Christians had done to them, that they are persecuted for their foundational faith in God, and that some day they realize we will be one without compromise in each other. A rabbi said that when that day comes, the Jew will say, see I was right, and the Christian will say I was right, and Jerusalem will be returned as the spiritual capitol of the world. But for now, pass as it becoming too much the insinuations Catholicism is idolatry and the ongoing misinterpretations of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. He will return in glory. God bless all.

Mr. Tovia Singer, could you touch on Deuteronomy 28. The blessings of obedience and the curses of disobedience.

[@kevinfarr9739]

Thank you Tovia. Please correct me if I'm wrong. The way I see it, regarding purification law or ritual law; these laws will always be in place to preserve the holiness of HaShem. HaShem is the top of the mountain (so to speak) in the world. The children of Jacob were chosen to live at the base of the mountain, between HaShem and the other nations of the earth. Because HaShem is holy, His mountain is holy and must be respected and honored. Like the Kohen, who must be purified before they can approach the Temple; the people of Jacob as a whole, must live in a certain state of purity, in order to be the people who resides at the base of the mountain of HaShem (which we know as the land of Israel) The Christians wrongly think the children of Israel did the ritual Mitzvot for salvation. No, it's because they have been chosen to live in close proximity with HaShem and absolutely must keep themselves in a certain state of purity.

[@kevinfarr9739]

In addition, The children of Jacob; no matter where they live in the world, are chosen to be HaShem's representatives to the nations, and therefore, must observe the ritual laws to be a holy people, in order to represent The Holy Blessed Be He.

Spirit of the Lord was considered to be an angel and nothing more.

Yes, I am aware of Adoptionism. It was a non-Trinitarian belief that was declared heretical.

You forgot to mention Pentecost where the Holy Spirit descended in the form of tongues of fire on the Apostles and the other disciples following the Crucifixion, Resurrection, and Ascension of Jesus Christ and marks the beginning of the Christian church’s mission to the world. Yes Paul was important in spreading the teachings of Jesus in the first century and founding several Christian communities in Asia Minor and Europe. Peter was also important as one of the twelve Apostles and one of the first leaders of the early Christian Church. Peter was crucified in Rome under Emperor Nero. The ancient Christian churches all venerate Peter as a major saint and as the founder of the Church in Antioch and the Church of Rome. Saint Irenaeus in his book explains the Apostle Peter, His See and his successors in book III of Adversus Haereses (Against Heresies). In the book Iraneus wrote that Peter and Paul organised the Church in Rome. Based on contemporary historical data, Peter’s papacy is estimated to have spanned from AD 30 to his death, which would make him the longest reigning Pope, at anywhere from 34 to 38 years. And here we are some 2000 years later The Catholic Church is the largest Christian church with 1.28 to 1.39 billion baptised Catholics worldwide as of 2024. Amen

The rabbi is conflating the covenant that God made with Abraham with the Law. They’re two separate things. Paul is saying that Abraham and his offspring were saved by their faith and no amount of following the Law will create that faith. It has to come first. Saved by faith, not works. When you believe and have faith in God, you’re no longer constrained by the Law, but out of love for God, you will do things that are pleasing to God. It’s basically the difference between authoritarian vs. authoritative parenting. The one needs lots of rules to try to control the child (Don’ts) vs. the other is based on teaching right principles so the child controls themselves (Dos). So I don’t need to list; Don’t hit. Don’t kick. Don’t steal; because I’m teaching them to be kind, be respectful, be honest. Angels was probably a poor translation of “messengers”.

Christianity succeeded because of the universal perspective of Christ, focusing on Personhood and our service to the marginalized, mercy lived out 7 days a week, transcending text, maintaining the centrality of God and the morality of the Decalogue. Authentic Christianity affirms the dignity of the human being, the family, the permanency of monogamous marriage, the unborn and aged, the marginalized and poor to all people not just within Judaism, the use of reason and the natural law, the human connection of all created. Judeo apostolic Christianity is the most humanizing force in history. Thou shalt not kill.

What you describe is not Christianity. When Christianity became legal, many became cultural Christians, never desiring perfection, meaning growing union with God Whose greatest charism is love. There are four sins that cry out to heaven: the taking of innocent life, oppressing the poor, sodomy, denying a laborer just wage. Both the Apostles Creed, professed at daily Mass, defined around 200, and Sunday Nicene Creed both define the secular state (Pontius Pilate) who had Christ crucified, not the Jews. Likewise, you have to separate from Church authority vs radical, unhinged bigots who murdered as in the case of the Rhineland hundreds of years ago spearheaded by a bad bishop and Cistercian monk on AWOL from his monastery.

Paul didn't "convert" to Christianism. He was, like virtually every other Jew of his day, an apocalypticist. Initially, his assumption as to how the End Times would unfold was mainstream. A few years after Jesus had been killed, Paul had a live-changing, personal experience. (I suspect he suffered from some cerebral defect). He believed he had interacted with what he called "the risen Jesus" in the form of a mystical spirit being who stood standard apocalypticism on its head. Paul was convinced that Jesus had bees specially selected by Yahweh to be the first of a new species of man, one who, upon bodily death, would become a divine spirit body second only to Yahweh himself. All spirit bodies, whether risen from the dead or alive, would be judged as either worthy of unification with Jesus' spirit body, or cast out and sent to sheol. This wild fantasy naturally outraged the Jesus movement people, several of whom actually knew Jesus while he was alive and followed his vision of the eschaton.

I wonder if the concept of the Noahide Laws existed then as it does now. Where their Noahides around during that period? And did Paul intentionally ignore that when he started his cult? Or was he just ignorant?

Think you’re over egging the pudding here Rabbi Paul’s message really had nothing to do with Judaism, but rather that belief in Jesus was all you needed for eternal salvation The second most important was not Constantine but his mother Helena, who was a Christian and a poor Greek village woman Constantine had to choose between 3 religions, Sol Invictus, Mithras and Jesus. He chose Jesus to please his mother, who had been abandoned by his father

Any Gentile who accepts the Seven Noahide Commandments, and is careful to observe them, is truly a pious individual of the nations of the world, and merits an eternal portion in the future World to Come. (And with this merit, the person will be included in the Resurrection of the Dead). This applies only if he accepts them and does them because the Holy One, blessed be He, commanded them in the Torah, and made it known through Moses our teacher, that the Children of Noah were previously commanded to fulfill them.

[@craigboone2845]

Messiah Jesus sent his apostles to be witnesses to the end of the earth, see Acts of the Apostles 1:6-8 and Matthew 24:14. Paul did meet the resurrected Messiah according to Acts 9:1-9 and was later sent as an apostle from Antioch, see Acts 13:1-3. The writer of Acts of the Apostles is Luke who accompanied him on his missionary journeys, see Colossians 4:14, 2 Timothy 4:11, and Philemon 1:24.

[@jackshadow325]

Paul did not covert to some new religion called “Christianity.” For Paul, the Jesus movement was the God-ordained progression of the Israelite faith. Paul’s main audience as he preached “among the Gentiles (nations)” was the Israelite diaspora-uncircumcised Hellenized Israelites who were being welcomed back into covenant with Israel’s God.

Dear Tovia, how is it that we come to know the spirit. Is it not we that must seek the spiritual father. Does not each empowered religion claim to know this path. The mystery of the HOLY Spirit, Paul is merely an instrument, rightly or wrongly, for Peter knew this. James knew this, both would have sort the intervention from the spiritual father, they were Jews at the time, but Christ came for all men. The path is narrow and Jesus came to teach each and everyone to seek and build their ploughshare in life. Let the Holy Spirit continue to flow in free men.

Why Did Christianity Become the World's Largest Religion? I can give you the clear biblical answer to that question: Acts 5:38-39 (NRSV): 38 So in the present case, I tell you, keep away from these men and let them alone; because if this plan or this undertaking is of human origin, it will fail; 39 but if it is of God, you will not be able to overthrow them-in that case you may even be found fighting against God! This passage highlights a profound truth about the resilience and growth of Christianity. Gamaliel (by the way, also the teacher who educated Paul strictly according to their ancestral law), a respected Pharisee, advised the Sanhedrin to exercise caution in dealing with the apostles. His reasoning was simple yet profound: if the movement was of human origin, it would fail on its own. However, if it was divinely inspired, no human effort could stop it. Each and every single Christian is ONE in the body of Jesus the Christ. This unity and divine backing are why you are not able to overthrow Christianity. The strength and spread of Christianity are not merely due to human effort but are seen by believers as a fulfillment of God’s plan. This divine endorsement and the unity among believers have been key factors in Christianity's endurance and expansion throughout history, making it the world's largest religion.

[@hrvatskinoahid1048]

What unity? Catholics and Orthodox cannot stand each other.

[@mooshei8165]

It was spread by the sword, colonialism, imperialism, lies, wars, and genocide. That’s why Christianity is so big.

[@danielmayer1977]

@@hrvatskinoahid1048 Across denominations, whether Catholic, Orthodox, Protestant, or others, Jesus Christ is universally acknowledged as the central figure of Christianity. He is seen as the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies, the Son of God, and the Savior of humanity. This belief is foundational to the Christian faith and is affirmed in the Nicene Creed: "We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, of one Being with the Father; through him all things were made. For us and for our salvation he came down from heaven, and became truly human. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate; he suffered death and was buried. On the third day he rose again in accordance with the Scriptures; he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end." That unity I mean. God bless you!

I have a question for you... Do you believe in Daniel's prophecies, especially the Nebuchadnezzar's statue? Interesting the four great cultures that conguered and enslaved the Israelis and Jews stopped with Rome at the legs but interestingly the iron continued to the feet then ending with clay toes. The feet represents Rome's residual presents then ending by turning into something new, clay, land. The foot also represents a short amount of time and the end of time, as we know it. Well, England was the super power remnant from Rome England had a iron age period, Victorian, and England established the Balfour declaration establishing Israel as being recognized. America, the clay coming off of the iron, is now the last super power. Are you ready, all these super powers starting with Babylon the head to America the clay, exist while Israel is a nation. Prophecy exists because Israel exists, even at the end of the church age, which is occuring now. The church will step away and the Jewish priests will start taking over, that's the book of Revelation. Also English is today's one world language just like before Noah as prophesied as well. I could go on and on but the church exists because Christ exists....since Jews have existed for the last two thousand years without animal sacrifices saving you annually, according to Torah.
