Amazing video!
18 years ago a friend from work told my husband that as a Jew he was surely going to hell. My husband being such a sweet and gentle man stayed friendly and kind to that Christian man.
He also wasn’t offended by that comment.
Two years ago my beloved husband (58 years old) passed away of that horrible pancreatic cancer..
That friend was visiting often toward the end of my husband’s life intending to convert him to the blood and the cross … One afternoon, I entered the room to hear my husband saying: “Please, you should go now, I am Jewish and as a Jew I can’t accept a fake god.” Words spoken so softly. The man left immediately…
I am forever grateful to my husband for his faithfulness. Whenever I am in need of his presence and support I remember that afternoon and for some reason it gives me immense strength ❤️
Thank you Rabbi 😊stay safe 🇮🇱
Wonderful to hear and amen to your husband's response to the christian who adamantly tried to convert him. Blessed are his words. Thank you for sharing. God bless.
Very inspiring Maam...We Jews are blessed and so was your husband for not coming in the trap of that Christian...May Hashem bless your husband and may his soul rest in peace🥺❤
From the deep of my heart and soul, thank you dear friend s

*Thank you for sharing*

@genevieverinzler8674 I love you, Jesus loves you. Love thy neighbor as you love yourself.
I am a monotheistic Christian. Jesus is Lord. That "Christian" had no right to talk to your husband that way.

Complete Jewish Bible
9 The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some people think of slowness; on the contrary, he is patient with you; for it is not his purpose that anyone should be destroyed, but that everyone should turn from his sins.
Thank you so much Rabbi Singer! 16 years ago, my husband and I did not attend all church activities after we learned that the God of Yisrael is a true God. We just stayed at home and Hashem is our Elohim there is no other. We also understand that Yisrael is His chosen servant. From Davao, Philippines. Shalom!
That is cool 😊
As a former Catholic the first time Calvinism was explained to me I thought it was very strange ! Baruch HASHEM I have abandoned All forms of Christianity !
AMEN!!! WELCOME TO THE TRUTH!!!
May Hashem bless, guide & protect you to continue on your path of righteousness!!!
@@Mk-xw1yj I try to keep it brief; I actually Also attended Several Non-Catholic Christian denomination churches due to where I lived. I learned the different approaches attended many Bible studies owned and read the different Christian Bible versions; KJV, NAS, etc etc. Interestingly, it was the non-stop criticism of Catholicism that is so constant in all these Christian churches that lead me to study Church History and Helped me go All the Way Back to The Original Jewish Bible ! Yes God is Love and HE Gave Very Specific Instructions in HIS ORIGINAL TORAH and TANACH and now that I have been studying with several Orthodox Jewish Rabbis ( T. Singer, M. Skobac, J. Mizrachi, Y.Reuven, etc.) for about 10 years I KNOW how misleading and inaccurate Christianity is and it’s not just on their interpretation of the Future Messiah, but the very nature of GOD’s Instructions, Laws, Tenets, Forgiveness for Sin, etc. and what is expected of us humans. I always wondered how the Jews could be wrong about JC but never had an opportunity to ask a Real Rabbi; CZcams is facilitating this Invaluable Information.
🤡
@@Mk-xw1yj How you can say that i don’t know all forms of Christianity when you do not even know me ? My path to knowing HASHEM is actually not uncommon in many ways and quite unique in other ways. If someday I meet Rabbi Singer he will find some of my story quite interesting ! I am the same age as the Dear Rabbi but bottom line I am Humbled and Eternally Grateful to Rabbi Tovia Singer, Rabbi Alon Anava, Rabbi Michael Skobac, Rabbi Yosef Mizrachi Rabbi Yaron Reuven and a few other Orthodox Jewish Rabbis who have taught me the Truth of HASHEM and HIS Torahs ! Shalom !
@@Mk-xw1yj you're not half as smart or well-read as Rabbi Singer
I pray that HaShem protects you, your family, and all Am Yisrael as Iran attacks Israel right now. I pray that HaShem brings Am Yisrael to deeper levels of teshuva and to cling to Him like never before. You are always in my prayers Rav Singer and at this moment I pray that HaShem keeps all of His precious Holy ones protected so that they may continue to do His Holy work on earth. Am Yisrael Chai!
Thank you! Shalom~

Christianity is not polytheistic nor monotheistic. Christianity is henotheistic.
@StevenMorgan-cs8rq I'm already monotheistic Jesus is God.
@@Tommy321: Yes, that sounds right, since Christianity also sees Satan as more powerful than God, and they preach that Satan has plans to overthrow Him and take His throne for himself
@@Diana-xm1dm: You need to realize, research, and accept, that NOWHERE did God ever say anything close to that!! In fact, NOWHERE did He ever so much as mention the "Jesus" character to us, and NO FURTHER SCRIPTURES were given to mankind by God AFTER Mt. Sinai, therefore, "Christianity" absolutely did NOT come from God!
PLEASE learn from the Orthodox Rabbis, as commanded by God in Deut. 17:8-11. In the absence of the Temple, the Rabbis are our spiritual teachers, since they (and ONLY THEY!!) have been studying the original Hebrew scriptures all the way back to Mt. Sinai - something Christianity REFUSED to do, leaving them in profound darkness as to what God ACTUALLY said to us there. PLEASE buy a Hebrew Bible (says "Stone Edition TANACH" on the cover) and Rabbi Singer's books, as well as Rabbi Stuart Federow's book: "Judaism and Christianity: A Contrast", to help y9u understand why Christianity did NOT come from God.
❤ This is absolutely the most amazing answer I cannot stop listening to Rabbi Tovia the explanations is so clear. The truth will always brings Hashem as One G_d to show you how if you choose reformed theology you are choosing the wrong. Dont have dinner with Paul.
To be fair all Christians are insane! And I it was one for almost 30 years.. But Calvinists are off the chart!!! Yikes
They aren't insane. They just lack common sense!
@terryulmer969 You kind of have to have a certain degree of insanity to accept Christianity and believe it. Speaking as a former Christian, still trying to recover from that insanity... Thank God I got out.
@@stephaniefogelvik4756: Yes, I agree, and I'm glad to know that you've escaped the insanity of Christianity! I was an Evangelical for 40+ years, until I listened to the Rabbis teach what God ACTUALLY said to us at Mt. Sinai - from then on, Christianity made NO sense and Judaism made all the sense in the world! May Hashem continue to bless and guide you in His Truth! I wonder what happened to *terryulmer969's* comment?!
I agree, Susan! May Hashem continue to bless you and give you strength to withstand these evil times!
@stephaniefogelvik4756 We weren't insane. The One True Creator G_d had warned us about Christianity long before Christianity invaded this land. We were forced to be Christians.

A person should not entertain the idea held by many fools, and what is claimed by some doctrines, that at the time of a person's conception or birth, the Holy One, blessed be He, decrees whether he will be righteous or a sinner. This is untrue. Each person is able to be righteous or bad. Similarly, he may be wise or foolish, merciful or cruel, miserly or generous, or he may acquire any other character traits. There is no one who compels him, sentences him, or leads him towards either of any two extremes. Rather, he tends to the character traits he chooses, based on his own initiative and decision. (Seven Gates of Righteous Knowledge by Rabbi Weiner and Dr. Schulman, p 159)
Well said, Hrvatski! There is no such thing as 'pre-destination', as is falsely preached by Christianity - otherwise, if there were, we'd have no free will!!
Calvin also had people burned alive including children.
He had the medical doctor who discovered oxygen respiratory system burned alive for rejecting trinity.
Sounds like Calvin was one EVIL MONSTER!!!
That was Miguel Servetus who was in fact burned alive at the stake ( Geneva in 1553 ) based on the accusation by John Calvin and other Reformation leaders for denying the Trinity. There's a college here in Grand Rapids named after this murderer.

Lol i love the part where Tovia said 'its like selling Snowballs to Eskimos' 😂 ... brilliant 👏
My question is. How can you justify a loving and just God who, eons before you were ever born decided that you were going to hell for eternity.
And. Do people today still believe that nonsense? How do they justify it? Total depravity? I can't square that circle.
I believe the Rabbi said if this were true, than the sacrifice of Jesus is unnecessary. Well if we are going to analyze this reasonably, the Rabbi is right. It's absurd.
God DIDN'T decide that! That is a LIE invented by Christianity to frighten people into conversion! Listen to more of Rabbi Singer's and Rabbi Michael Skobac's videos. You're right - the Rabbi DOES make a lot of sense!! 😊
Radical Calvinism leads to absolute anarchy. If one is saved or damned no matter what one does, there exists little reason to behave appropriately. ✡️❤️
Yeah. I am writing a novel where a bunch of Christian archeaologist from various denominations looking for the OG Aramaic gospel of Matthew/gospel of Hebrews, but instead find a lost manuscript (that ironically lends weight to Talmud Yerushalmi*) I wanted a subplot where the Presbyterian archeaologist saves the Assyrian archeaologists daughter from Islamists... But the Presbyterian church is so awful that I am starting to think that the virtues the Scottish people are purely genetic in origin and their great courage, tenacity and contributions to academia are Inspite of the Presbyterian church.
* Many Christians will dismiss the Talmud as fabrication and argue that the gospel is a better portrayal of 1st century Jewish daily life.
"Before a word is on my tongue, you YHWH know it completely." -- Psalms of the Hebrews
Thank you Rabbi. ❤
My question to the Rabbi is in his own words, what is the purpose of the Day of Atonement and the sin offering/guilt? If repentance is sufficient then covering of sin through atonement becomes redundant? Or is there something I'm missing.
Since there hasn't been a high priest since the second temple nor has there been the offering, does that make that bit of the law irrelevant in God's divine architecture?
Hi Rabbi Tovia.
A wee correction: in Antarctica (south), there are these guys🐧.
The PC word for Eskimos is Inuit (no 's').
(like saying 'Frenchmen'; ya don't put an 's' on 'Frenchmen').
And Inuit live in the Arctic (north).
Love you, Rabbi Tovia.
Stay safe.
Thanks *redleaf4902!!* We've known about the "Inuit" here in Canada for decades, but not sure if that message was forwarded to the US - so Rabbi Singer may not know about it! I was very surprised to hear him use the 'E' word as well! I once heard that the name 'E' word means 'blubber eaters', which is why it's now considered offensive.
Amen We Were ALL Born To Believe In Yeshua
Todah Rabba!
As a Christian, I agree.
The 1st trouble I had with "original sin" as a Christian was the Noahs Ark story. If original sin starts with Adam and Eve then it would still be in Noah and his family on the Ark. So saving them from the flood would mean God spared 8 people who were full of the same sin as those he wiped out in the flood.. Only way to stop the disease is to cut it off completely. If man was diseased by original sin then God should have wiped out everyone and cooked up a whole new creation. So I found that the idea of original sin contradicts the Tanakh.
When I wash my clothes (do my laundry) there's myself going through that process, and there's the clothes getting cleaned. Two different things. I must go through that process myself.

Why are people saying they would convert to Judaism in a heartbeat when you don’t know much about Judaism in the first place?
Don’t pray for Israel, they are good & right. Pray for the rest of the world, they need it.
My understanding is that More Jews Need to Observe Shabbat and Get Closer to HASHEM and then Israel will see Divine Protection ! The irony is that the Christians think they are helping by trying to get the Jewish People to Abandon Judaism in favor of JC !
@@Ensinger5784 Yes, sort of. We should always seek to be in God’s good books, but our relationship with Him is deeper and more profound than just based on our actions. We have an intrinsic bond with the Almighty, this can never be severed, though it can be improved or the reverse.
The other monotheistic faiths are for the non-Jewish world, to prepare them for when Moshiach comes (according to Maimonides). They have nothing to do with the Jew and certainly cannot help in his service and devotion to God. When Jews opt out of their heritage it pains God no end. Those responsible incur His wrath, which spills over to the rest of the world.

I say this as a Christian... most of the criticisms Rabbi Singer mentions here are legitimate. As he admits, many of these criticisms only apply to certain groups within Christianity. As Rabbi Singer says, the most prominent understanding of the doctrine of Original Sin logically leads to the doctrine of Total Depravity also known as Total Inability. Other doctrines flow from these errors such as the doctrine of Limited Atonement. Rabbi Singer rightly points out that these doctrines contradict what is taught in TANAKH.
The free will of an individual to accept life and death as God sets out before them is such an important doctrine to many(including me) in the Christian faith. But I wouldn’t say that the human being is unaffected by the sin of Adam and Eve. I think the impact of a fallen world is very much something you can find throughout TANAKH.
I also would not impose these doctrines on Paul or on the book of Romans. As Rabbi Singer points out, Romans is a confusing book with a lot of perspectives and target audiences coming into and out of focus. But the (correct) Christian view is not that belief in the historical Jesus of Nazareth as the Christ is ultimately what makes a person right with God.
Romans 2:6-11 ‘God “will repay each person according to what they have done.” To those who by persistence in doing good seek glory, honor and immortality, he will give eternal life. But for those who are self-seeking and who reject the truth and follow evil, there will be wrath and anger. There will be trouble and distress for every human being who does evil: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile; but glory, honor and peace for everyone who does good: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. For God does not show favoritism.’
5:56 And in fact _neither_ St Paul _nor_ St Augustine deny we have free will.
They will say it is not sufficient without grace, but they will not say it doesn't exist.
Thank you Toby for concluding, like everyone else who isn't a Calvinist, that Calvinism is absurd. The definition of predestination held by the Calvinists was not a belief of the Church for nearly 15 centuries, and only came about when John Calvin introduced this dogma. But, when God passes judgement, it is fixed. Did man stop the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah? They did not repent and judgement came to pass. God was judging Nineveh, and sent Jonah in order for them to repent. And they averted destruction with repentance. This is the true character of God.
Luther believed in predestination, but only in single predestination where God chooses who will believe by grace.
I am not a Christian or a believer in any religion. I listen to the rabbi's podcast because he not only has profound knowledge of his faith but of Christianity. His arguments are sound and based on evidence.
Not withstanding, I don't profess any religious beliefs vm
because they are based on ancient beliefs and documents that for me lack evidence to its veracity. That goes for ALL religious books
Nonetheless, my respect and admiration for the rabbi.
NO RABBI IT DOES NOT MAKE SENSE TO CHRISTIANS. I AM A FOLLOWER OF JESUS. PREDESTINATION IS ABSURD LIKE YOU SAY.
So is the TRINITY. But when I share my own understanding, Christians immediately try to FIX ME. I need help Rabbi

5I am the LORD, and there is none else,

6That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west,
That there is none beside Me;
I am the LORD; and there is none else; What does none else and none besides me mean?
So, as a Christian, all my sins are forgiven EXCEPT those committed by others? I have to die and work by the sweat of my brow because of Adam and Eve. I only get to live 70 +- years because God wanted to shorten the lifespan because of sin. And I only understand my native language (and none of the thousand others) because of the sin dealt with at the Tower of Babel.
That sounds a wee bit backwards? I would expect first to be forgiven of sins of previous generations which I had no choice in them committing. And then deal with my own.
There’s nothing new under the sun ⛅️ Not only are they damned from the beginning but they have to keep getting damned because creation is cyclical. If you want to know the past you have to know the future and vice versa.
predestination is a misinterpretation
of the mazal
Christianity demands a fractured epistemology of compartmentalization. You are not allowed to stand back and ask "does this make any sense?" If one does, it does not make sense. This is why Christianity has such a propensity to fragment into sects and sub sects.
To the title.
No, Calvinism doesn't make sense if you're a Christian.
A certain François de Sales, a small lord, under the Dukes of Savoy, told a certain other François de Sales, his son, a teen:
_"Calvinism is a new religion, I have seen it born"_ ...
The teen held on to this while having anxieties of being among those "predestined for damnation." (Not the actual term for Calvinism, but OK). So, the teen then became a Saint, and the last and possibly greatest Bishop of Geneva, he tried to actually not just visit his city, which was occupied by Calvinists, but even to convert Theodore Beza.
Saying Calvinism makes sense if you are a Christian is like saying "Mendelson makes sense if you are a Jew" ... which I'm sure you have the rectitude to reject, whatever your other faults.

(The first Seder I went to was at a Lutheran church, as my Jewish Family was Secular and Reform.) Today, X-tians are carrying around a Counterfeit copy of the Jewish Bible as a CONQUERER TROPHY. Let us RECLAIM "A TITTLE". Some tour guides in Israel, like Oren, say that jesus had a "good message". Yes, he said "don't get rid of one TITTLE". Pastors ( Fake Rabbis) SKIP over that! A Passover Seder isn't "a Jewish Easter" like I learned in the Lutheran church!
@SC-kb6xc I left Christianity and ALL religions. It was a process that started with catechism when I was a girl. Little by little the
contradictions kept showing up. Until I was at the university that laid the final cut with evolution.
@Adam-zn9yhit has been more than 40 years since I left Christianity. Don't see any reason to go back. On the contrary, nothing that the apologists say is convincing. I, like Alex O'Connor, have prayed and asked. But have received nothing. If God wants to have a relationship with me, then he must present himself to me. A relationship is a two way street.

Tanakh is full of deterministic verses.
1:19 Here are the exact words of St. Paul, according to the translators Jerome for Greek to Latin and Douay Rheims for Greek or Jerome's Latin to English, it's in Romans 8:
*28 And we know that to them that love God, all things work together unto good, to such as, according to his purpose, are called to be saints. 29 For whom he foreknew, he also predestinated to be made conformable to the image of his Son; that he might be the firstborn amongst many brethren. 30 And whom he predestinated, them he also called. And whom he called, them he also justified. And whom he justified, them he also glorified.*
St. Paul describes the whole process, from God's perspective. Nothing here denies men have a choice, nothing here says anyone is predestined for the opposite. It just goes over all of the process in God's plan, and our freedom is part of God's plan.
Would you agree? Would you agree that:
a) we are free
b) God has a plan and our free choices will not change it?
Because if so, you cannot find either fault or Calvinism in these words by St. Paul.
Sorry Tovia , you are wrong again , Calvinism is is not orthordox Christianity but a later break away denomination
" See with what large letters I have written The Epistle to HEBREWS to you with my own hand!" (( I know it's Galatians 6:11, but let me know if you need proof besides 2 Corinthians 12:1:)
I am a Calvinist, but I would never argue Calvinism with a Jew because Jews have a work righteousness system. Keeping the law.
All Gentiles are obligated to keep the 7 Noahide laws.
@hrvatskinoahid1048 I agree believers keep the law, but it is not of our carnal strength but Christ who strengthens us. Christ abides in us and does an ongoing work of salvation through us.
@@rogervincent2092 Nah. Serving a person is idolatry.

3:04 I thought a Catholic could have first called Calvinists that, but as Calvinists were called Luteranos by the Spanish Inquisition, it's possible you are right some actual Lutheran named them.
Of course every Calvinist who espouses the absurd doctrine of predestination "looks out for number one" and assumes that he or she is going to heaven and those "others" out there are going to hell.
Well, if I'm predestined to go to hell, wat's the use of being a Christian? Ditto if I'm predestined to go to heaven, in which case I can sleep in on Sunday and not bother going to church, since I'm going to heaven anyway.
I would guess Corinthians as well?

God chose us, the Jews, by lineage, for whatever reason. He chose Jacob over Esau. God makes choices, yet He, in a mystery, He likes to wrestle.
@Adam-zn9yh Sorry, I’m not sure I understand your statement. Esau did sell his birthright. Esau would have served Jacob regardless of Jacob and his mother’s schemes. Esau’s heart though was revealed in these actions though.
Esau can still have salvation, if he rests from his works for salvation and trusts in the Messiah Jesus.
@Adam-zn9yh If you have believed in Jesus as who he said he is, no one can take your salvation. God knows how to discipline His children so that none can snatch them out of His hand. Not sure why Mary is in this discussion. Mary needed to bow to Jesus and realise she is a vile, corrupt from the heart sinner before God.
@Adam-zn9yh Yes, however, she was a sinner like everyone else for Ecclesiastes 7:20 says,
“Surely there is not a righteous man on earth who does good and never sins.”
Are you saying Mary was god?
@Adam-zn9yh Be careful you are not worship man instead of God, my friend.
@Adam-zn9yh Very good, trust only that. God creates the repenting.
4:02 Actually, as you put it, you are appealing to a very post-Temple version of Judaism.
In Second Temple Judaism, there were sacrifices. For the sins of the priests, but also for the sins of Israel.
When St. Paul writes, he's not competing with "turn to God in your own conscience" he is competing with the Temple.
When it was finally destroyed, St. Paul had already been martyred.
It was Judaism that had to reinvent itself as there was no more any Temple (except Jesus, whom they were rejecting).
I am a Christian, and you are right in believing that Calvinism is absurd. You need to do more homework because much of Christendom believes that Calvinism is absurd.
Calvinism is one rung above Mormonism
I hate to tell you, but NO form of Christianity came from God! You need to realize, research, and accept, that NOWHERE did God ever so much as mention the "Jesus" character to us, and NO FURTHER SCRIPTURES were given to mankind by God AFTER Mt. Sinai, therefore, "Christianity" absolutely did NOT come from God!
PLEASE learn from the Orthodox Rabbis, as commanded by God in Deut. 17:8-11. In the absence of the Temple, the Rabbis are our spiritual teachers, since they (and ONLY THEY!!) have been studying the original Hebrew scriptures all the way back to Mt. Sinai - something Christianity REFUSED to do, leaving them in profound darkness as to what God ACTUALLY said to us there. PLEASE buy a Hebrew Bible (says "Stone Edition TANACH" on the cover) and Rabbi Singer's books, as well as Rabbi Stuart Federow's book: "Judaism and Christianity: A Contrast", to help y9u understand why Christianity did NOT come from God.
So they figured out how to sell snowballs to Eskimos...
I have a question…
Would God hurt people for amusement or to test their faith or something?
Or maybe he would get an Angel to smite you like job?
I’m curious because I have a wound with muscle exposed that will sometimes get really bad and then suddenly it heals the muscle while I’m sleeping and there is no trace of the damage
Does that make sense?
I feel like someone is smiting me and then God heals and undoes damage
Maybe you should take a deep look at your life and contemplate
A pious person who serves the Blessed and Exalted God will know that part of one's service is withstanding tests.
@@hrvatskinoahid1048If you’re trying to be good will he test you to see what you’ll do if you think he’s evil?
@@TheMessiah666 Each person has different tests than the next, but certainly, every person does have his own challenges and tests.
Muscles need rest to heal. Maybe you should think about a follow-up appointment with your doctor.......
How is Limited Atonement any more grotesque than God knowing, not only that the Canaanites would reject him and do great sin; but also fill up a quota of sin, if you will, before he gave the greenlight to the Jews to wipe them out?
Is that not essentially the same thing. He knew every adult and baby that would sin and be victim. Knew what they'd do and go through. He knew it would happen and afterwards He'd send in His chosen peoples.
Free will is granted to all people. If one desires to turn to the path of good and be righteous, the choice is his. Should he desire to turn to the path of iniquity, the choice is his.
No such thing as 'predestination', as preached by "Christianity". As Hrvatskinoahid already said, God gave each one of us FREE WILL - the choice between good (obeying God's words) and evil (disobeying His words), because He forces Himself on nobody! We can either listen to the words that Satan uses to tempt us with or not, but it's always OUR choice. Satan can only make suggestions to us, but he can't MAKE us do anything, as is falsely preached by Christianity.
7:34 OK, that was a very watered down version of total depravity.
Is it contradicted by the OT?
In Deuteronomy 30, God has taken the initiative.
In the conversion of Nineveh, again, God has taken the initiative.
Israelites and Ninevites only respond.
islam has the same point
Tovia, dear friend, this would be an excellent time in your ministry to the gentiles to read Paul's letter to the Romans, sentence by sentence, and expound upon every Greek word in the context of Paul's language, and in the context of first century Judaism/TANACH(Hebrew language). I think there's a very real linguistic problem whenever two very different languages attempt to express ideas about the coexisting realm that our Creator occupies. And, YES!!!!, I would love to share a meal or two with Paul and all the Apostles named in the over 10,000 different versions of the New Testament !!!😇
4:40 In the case of Jonah, God accepted the repentance of people who had seen or believed those who had seen a man come alive from a whale.
In the case of the Church, God accepted the repentance of people who had seen or believed those who had seen a man come alive from the empty tomb.
In the case of Jonah, God accepted sackcloth and fasting.
In the case of the Church, God accepted baptism and confirmation.
In the case of both, God accepted a very _collective_ repentance.
And the first words the Church says on Pentecost day are:
1) enumerating the prophecies that are fulfilled, both on that day itself and in the Resurrection
2) *Do penance, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ, for the remission of your sins: and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.* Acts 2:38
No, the feature that a group of people can repent is not being forgotten in the New Testament.
GOD OUR Heavenly Father's Always Intended to bring in the nations.
GENESIS 3:15 GENESIS 12 GENESIS 50:19. PREDESTINATION IS In Tanak. To Conform Us Into The Image of Gods Son Yeshua Jesus
Calvinism is absurd from any perspective in my opinion. I can argue the point, though it is an example of Aristotelian logic pushed to the absurd, and as an aside I believe the Torah rejects this logic 2,000 years before Calvinism. Or Augustinism, if you will. It never seemed complicated to me. Strict predestinarianism seems to make puppets out each person. How does predetermined behavior take on any moral content. Thus Calvinism empties the content out of the Christian message, or Traditions of moral behavior in Judaism as I understand it.
Your more complex, historical argument, including salvation by faith, are well taken.
But then I am an atheist, and even as a child attended a Methodist (non-Calvinist) Sunday school in a small town in the mountain South. It’s one reason that the Methodists and Baptists are involved in such bitter rivals. I am not exaggerating.
We won’t even look at Mary, the mother of God. (Turning this Jewish mother of at least 7 children,
Born into a passionately political Jewish family into…. What? A sort of divine being.
For the record a minority of Christian’s are Calvinists
I'd even say a minority in Reform denominations are _really_ Calvinist. (I'm R.C.). But as to Rabbi's point about God forgiving Nineveh on their repentance.. how to answer? I'd say yes, God always has and always will forgive the repentant of any faith of their particular sins, , but to be regenerated and have the soul cleansed and eventually enter the Kingdom requires the priestly ministry of the perfectly obedient Jesus.
The majority of Protestants in Europe are Calvin.
@@paulmitchell2916no logic from you. Just declaring people need jesus when there is nothing like that in tanach. We don't need jesus for anything. No one does
@@saul2491: Well said, Saul - THANK YOU!!!
@@saul2491 and atheists say we don't need God or the Bible.. Most people follow the faith of their parents or community and logic has nothing to do with it.. guess we'll find out when we die, or, as my atheists friends say, we won't.
TL;DR "This god is a psychopath" in Calvinism
TTYL⚖️
Is Hashem the Elohim of the Jew only? Is He not also of the Nations?
Hashem gave 613 commandments for Jews and the 7 for Gentiles.
6:30 Some people pretend the Disciples lied about the Resurrection.
An observer of Watergate noted, "no way 12 liars could have kept that secret for so many years" ...
I don’t take spiritual advice from idolators, especially idolators who are felons.
@@AdaraBalabusta I am not a felon.
I'm an ex-convict, like Daniel, but not a felon.
As to idolater, how about trying to prove from the Torah I'm one?
But they sill saying Jesus loves you but he wil send you to Hell😂
❤
2:04 Poor guy. I'd love for my comments to call him back!
It's anyway years, and Tovia has not changed my perspective the least.
I am saddened for you, then, because idolatry is contrary to the Noahide law. Other idolators might be excused due to ignorance; you have no such defense-and no, a Jewish Rabbi did not die for your sins. Repent now and obey the Noahide laws. ✡️❤️
@@AdaraBalabusta Idolatry is certainly contrary to any law of God, but you haven't proven from the Torah that Christians commit it.
The books revealed by God are only the Torah, the Qur’an, while the New Testament is just the story of the life and words of the disciples
*Hebrews ch10 v5*
“Therefore, when Christ came into the world, He said: “Sacrifice and offering You did not desire, but a *body* You prepared for Me”.
Why should anyone care what Hebrews says?
@@nathankupczyk3125 Because it is believed that Paul wrote it.
@@abc_6 why should anyone care what Paul wrote?
"This god is a psychopath!"
Bingo!
