  So there's there's a law that we were given, but not to keep it,
• 0:03
  just to try so that we would know that we can't keep it.
• 0:06
  So therefore we're sinners, and we need.
• 0:07
  You exactly every question watching the show right now is
• 0:10
  going am I saying or saying it the truth to polar opposite
• 0:13
  views of the world. Christianity is man's effort to
• 0:17
  create God in his image. Judaism, conversely, is God's
• 0:21
  successful endeavor in creating. Man in his image something
• 0:24
  weird. I've never said this publicly, I
• 0:27
  don't think, and I've said a lot publicly.
• 0:30
  I wish I was there 2000 years ago and I wish I could have been
• 0:36
  there for him. No one would say I have no
• 0:39
  opinion of the Jews. Everyone has a very strong and
• 0:41
  that's what we're watching now is a complete polarization.
• 0:44
  The middle is full now. Is there anything in the New
• 0:47
  Testament that you feel that they got right?
• 0:54
  Hello everyone. Today we're joined by our
• 0:56
  Bactivia Singer. This is a very interesting
• 0:58
  episode. Rabbi Singer and I discussed all
• 1:00
  things New Testament. He is on the front lines when it
• 1:05
  comes to defending Jews from the church and bringing Jews out of
• 1:08
  the church. So for us, the Jewish people, he
• 1:10
  is incredibly important for the front lines and keeping us safe.
• 1:15
  He shared with me a lot of wisdom that he's gained
• 1:17
  throughout the ages and the connections that he had with big
• 1:19
  rabbis and some tools that he uses in order to defend against
• 1:24
  missionary tactics. We hope you enjoy.
• 1:26
  I certainly did. It was very informative.
• 1:28
  Hi, my name is Donnie and I'm the producer of In the Valley of
• 1:31
  Giants. I just wanted to come on and say
• 1:33
  that there were some technical difficulties while filming the
• 1:36
  episode with her singer this week.
• 1:38
  We did our best to amend the issues.
• 1:40
  They go away around the 28 minute mark.
• 1:43
  Yeah. We hope you can enjoy Private
• 1:47
  Singer. Thank you so much for coming on
• 1:49
  the show today. So, Julie, you have me on.
• 1:51
  Yeah, it definitely is. I got lots to ask you, Lots I'm
• 1:54
  very curious about. So #1 why be a polemic warrior?
• 1:58
  Like, why? Why was that your thank?
• 2:01
  Well, it was very simple. Jews are in the church, come
• 2:06
  nothing back. There's a prophecy you fulfill
• 2:09
  that is God is going to bring back the net case for Isaiah 43
• 2:14
  or Isaiah 56. So therefore, how can I allow
• 2:18
  Jews to be in the church? Moreover, there are millions of
• 2:21
  Jews who are being targeted for conversion right now.
• 2:25
  That has to stop. You know, I'll share this one
• 2:28
  thing with you. I'll share this one thing with
• 2:30
  you. So I was born 15 years after the
• 2:33
  Holocaust and I asked people were much older than me, what
• 2:40
  was it like to be in the United States during World War 2?
• 2:44
  I asked my grandfather like that, and they told me that they
• 2:48
  knew something terrible going on, but no one understood the
• 2:51
  scope and magnitude of that. All of European jewelry was
• 2:55
  being destroyed, as it turns out, to Greg Rabonen during the
• 3:01
  war, that one to Roosevelt. Over 100 Albonen went to
• 3:05
  Roosevelt, to the White House, asking for an audience with the
• 3:09
  president to intercede and they were not allowed in.
• 3:15
  We know what happened. So now we're in the same
• 3:18
  predicament, but it's a spiritual Holocaust.
• 3:22
  And now the question is for me and for you and for all people
• 3:25
  who care about, oh, Israel, what are you going to do now?
• 3:28
  Are you going to allow the destruction of Christ for by the
• 3:31
  church? The answer is no, I won't vote.
• 3:35
  I want my people home and devote my life to this.
• 3:39
  Was there a particular instance in your life that caused you to
• 3:41
  come to that realization? Yeah, Moshe Boshe came was the
• 3:46
  name of the kosher restaurant that my family went to on
• 3:49
  Saturday night. And coming out in Midtown
• 3:54
  Manhattan, there were people hanging up posters on 5th Ave.
• 4:01
  And I've read, I was curious, you've read Come this Tuesday
• 4:06
  Night to Jews for Jesus and learn more about your Jewish
• 4:10
  Messiah. I was shocked.
• 4:13
  I was That would be like someone having a sign up Jews fan
• 4:17
  Hezbollah. I just.
• 4:18
  How old were you at the time? 1617, I was a youngster.
• 4:22
  I'm sure you've encountered these missionaries somewhere.
• 4:27
  It's it. And I was just so aggravated
• 4:30
  when I was. So I just, it was just, and I
• 4:33
  began to argue with them. And when I did, I realized I was
• 4:37
  really unprepared for the situation.
• 4:40
  And an elderly Jew who was watching the spectacle on my 2
• 4:44
  Shamas in midtown Manhattan told me that in fact, I had no
• 4:48
  business engaging with them because I didn't know enough.
• 4:51
  I don't know enough. I learned in the mirror, we as
• 4:56
  these kids on one zero, they were Jewish.
• 4:59
  I don't know enough to argue with them.
• 5:01
  I go to Mishima or everything I love.
• 5:03
  And I was very upset. So the I walked away.
• 5:06
  I was. The following summer I visited
• 5:10
  not summer in the fall I visited Erstrell for the first time my
• 5:13
  life. My uncle lived in the Jewish
• 5:14
  court of the Old City, and he happened to have had a Christian
• 5:18
  Bible that got from a guest at his home, a minister from
• 5:21
  Sweden. And he was very, we'll go when I
• 5:24
  have it, like I had the manual from the other team.
• 5:27
  He said, look at what we have here.
• 5:29
  It was a King James Bible. And I said I want to read it.
• 5:32
  And I took it from him and I was diving at the castle.
• 5:36
  It's so funny, you know, when you're when you're in the Old
• 5:38
  City. It was the first time.
• 5:39
  It was very powerful people as where do you dive in the Old
• 5:42
  City? Like what are you going to go to
• 5:43
  young Israel? I was darling.
• 5:45
  I was darling. I was at the coastal and a
• 5:47
  fellow came over to me in the middle of the davening.
• 5:49
  It was the most. And taps me on the shoulder.
• 5:53
  That's me. Do you know who your shoulder
• 5:56
  is? So I said to him, yeah, he was
• 6:01
  in my class. I went to a shoot with him.
• 6:03
  I see how you showed you thought I had no clues the mice.
• 6:07
  I realized what was going on. I began to study with him.
• 6:12
  I came back to New York. He did true.
• 6:13
  I'll just share this with. And the other thing you had
• 6:16
  equipped at the time as you going through the New Testament
• 6:19
  once. No, it was a lot.
• 6:20
  It was very fast. That means he was asking me
• 6:22
  questions and I had very often look up the answers, you know,
• 6:26
  very. I had to go through nothing.
• 6:28
  That was another thing. And all yeshiva, we really
• 6:32
  weren't learning nothing. So we weren't learning nothing.
• 6:34
  We were learning maybe the Naveen Mesharian, but it was
• 6:38
  very, it wasn't strong at all. So therefore I really had to
• 6:41
  research everything. And it was an early period it
• 6:44
  was, it was known to rely on. There were no books out, there
• 6:48
  was nothing out there. So I had to research it very
• 6:52
  carefully. And he did.
• 6:55
  True it was. It was easier then because I
• 6:58
  wasn't well known. So today when I meet
• 7:01
  missionaries that have the garlic on the very, very well,
• 7:05
  they run away. But then no one knew who I was.
• 7:09
  I wasn't on YouTube. There was no such thing.
• 7:11
  So it was easy in the early days to get help Jesus out of the
• 7:16
  church very, very quickly because they weren't intimidated
• 7:22
  by me. Now it's it's.
• 7:24
  It's tricky. Now go straight to.
• 7:27
  Did you get instruction? Did you get like any hajrafa?
• 7:29
  No, there was nothing. There was nothing.
• 7:32
  Weren't you concerned that you might fall on some sort of
• 7:34
  track? The more let me.
• 7:39
  Open that up a little bit. So for the purposes of also
• 7:42
  being myself prepared, so I've gone through the New Testament.
• 7:44
  Yeah. I didn't really feel any concern
• 7:48
  of being trapped or persuaded at all, but I can understand why
• 7:53
  someone would be afraid of engaging with a primary text
• 7:57
  from a different religion. So were you worried about that
• 8:01
  at the time at all? Can you open that up a little?
• 8:05
  Bit no, not at all. This is the opposite.
• 8:07
  I First of all, I grew up. My father was a Rasul Shiva.
• 8:11
  He lived in Lakewood under the talent of my show.
• 8:15
  So I I had a a basic idea as a shield boy would that there
• 8:22
  wasn't religion, Christianity and the work Catholics in
• 8:25
  Borough Park, Brooklyn. You heard of it.
• 8:28
  Certainly they were they were they were attacked.
• 8:30
  I knew some. I don't know how I knew, but I
• 8:33
  knew that they were basing their religion on ours somehow.
• 8:38
  That means that's what they held.
• 8:41
  And it was a big statue of Mary in right in the front of the
• 8:44
  whole the church Holy Ghost on 17th Ave.
• 8:48
  I think 44th St. there's a big gechka up castle of Mary.
• 8:53
  So I believe this is insane. Then they read the 10
• 8:56
  commandments so and then the more so I always thought
• 9:01
  Christian was odd. One other point that must be
• 9:04
  said. I knew that means if you are
• 9:06
  growing up in the 70s, so you knew so you're surrounded by
• 9:12
  survivors. That was a big part of my world.
• 9:15
  I knew that all the countries where Jews were murdered were
• 9:20
  Christian countries because Jews weren't killed by Hindus or by
• 9:24
  Buddhists. They were all killed white
• 9:26
  Christians in Christian countries.
• 9:28
  And if you and I, and I'm sure you thought about this, it's
• 9:31
  saying you and I were born in 1920, so where would we go to if
• 9:36
  we could choose where we would be?
• 9:38
  We would say just send us anywhere but a Christian
• 9:41
  country. So it wasn't like I started off
• 9:43
  by having any concern that this religion, like, you know, that
• 9:48
  this religion is going to be let's, like, join the Ku Klux
• 9:51
  Klan. But when I began to read the
• 9:55
  Christian Bible, it was much worse than I thought.
• 9:59
  There's I didn't. I thought they misunderstood.
• 10:02
  They were all of them. I did not realize the extent of
• 10:07
  the malevolent chicanery where the Christian Bible was totally
• 10:13
  misquoting Tanakh and the level of anti-Semitism that was in the
• 10:18
  New Testament. I did.
• 10:20
  I wasn't prepared for that. So other of when I was studying
• 10:24
  Christian tags, it was it was like, oh, this is much worse
• 10:29
  than I thought. So there was never a go.
• 10:32
  This is interesting. No, it was the opposite.
• 10:35
  This is very repelling. And moreover, the gospels, the
• 10:41
  89 chapters, 4 books are very well written.
• 10:45
  It's not like the Quran was hard to say when you're reading, it's
• 10:49
  very transparent what's going on.
• 10:51
  It's like, it's like watching candor zones.
• 10:53
  I mean, you immediately understand that the Jews are the
• 10:57
  bad guys and you know who's the good guy.
• 11:00
  So it's very clear what's happening.
• 11:02
  The code, the misquoting of Tana is just without stop.
• 11:08
  So it was very easy to see through it.
• 11:10
  So therefore I never had AI, never was concerned about that.
• 11:13
  Wherever there were great people, I mean, I met some great
• 11:17
  Barney who were very proud of me that I was doing it.
• 11:21
  Bobby Travis said this is what you're tough kid was, you know,
• 11:25
  my father choose to to my Martian.
• 11:27
  I, you know, told what I was doing.
• 11:29
  But whatever it was, it was it was.
• 11:31
  It just strengthened my duty as a It never was.
• 11:36
  Do nothing tempting about it. Yeah, I had the same experience
• 11:40
  or a similar one. I'll put it to you that way.
• 11:43
  This fight that you're talking about that was very prevalent in
• 11:46
  the 70s, eighties and the 90s, but the Juice for Jesus movement
• 11:50
  doesn't seem like it has the same gusto that once happened.
• 11:54
  Perhaps that's largely due to you, Ravi Sundar, but is this a
• 11:57
  fight that really needs to be? We need to be on the forefront
• 12:00
  of is it, Is it really that bloody right now?
• 12:02
  I believe that you said that because that means you're,
• 12:05
  you're living in a new reality. You're living in Daleranosho
• 12:11
  Halafa means you're living among the Natera.
• 12:16
  You're, we don't know each other, but obviously you're
• 12:22
  living in a holy place around. But I see just coming here, you
• 12:27
  don't know what's going on out there.
• 12:29
  It's a, it's a here in Israel missionaries, it's stage 4.
• 12:37
  And for those who don't know, there's no stage 5.
• 12:40
  They're destroying segments of it's so serious today, which was
• 12:47
  not the case in the 70s when Jews started or the 80s, that
• 12:52
  almost every Jew today knows of someone whose kid or relative
• 13:00
  got involved in this group. That's what we ought to say.
• 13:03
  This if I would have. Told you that in 1980s, you said
• 13:07
  what? Today we're living in a time,
• 13:09
  I'm not going to ask you, but we are living in a time now that
• 13:13
  the situation is so bad in Israel and around the world in
• 13:17
  Jewish communities that there's you almost will not encounter a
• 13:21
  Jew that doesn't know someone personally.
• 13:24
  There's was one of the sons or daughters, but nieces and
• 13:28
  nephews to these groups. So the situation is
• 13:31
  exponentially worse. Of course, it's a symptom of
• 13:34
  Jews for nothing, which means which is the grand the the
• 13:40
  biggest problem. So therefore, because
• 13:42
  assimilation is reaching, you know, great, you know, very
• 13:46
  serious problem all over the world.
• 13:48
  So of course, Truth to Jesus Wiki, that's just one of one of
• 13:52
  the 1000 organizations are wreaking havoc in the Jewish
• 13:56
  world. Wow, OK, so it's worse than it's
• 13:59
  ever been. Oh my, yeah, that's huge.
• 14:02
  OK, so I'm completely. Off.
• 14:03
  Oh, so you know what? Malik, let me pay.
• 14:05
  For this a little bit. So you said that you finally
• 14:07
  let's let's get into it a little bit.
• 14:09
  The New Testament being full of anti-Semitism.
• 14:12
  Oh yeah. OK, so they're early books like
• 14:13
  for example, Mark and Luke and Matthews.
• 14:17
  They don't seem like very other than being called the brood of
• 14:19
  snakes. It doesn't really seem to be
• 14:21
  such an anti-Semitic text. If anything, you know, Jesus
• 14:24
  seems to be somewhat protective of of the Hebrews and the Jewish
• 14:28
  people. You don't find that to be so.
• 14:30
  Where? Well I would say the opposite.
• 14:33
  I would say where do you find him being anti-Semitic within
• 14:35
  those books? Let's just use those three as an
• 14:36
  example. Oh, in the way if you want to
• 14:39
  make a bigger it's very easy. You film the group to what you
• 14:43
  do is you tell stories about them.
• 14:46
  So it is true that the Christian Bible has statements to Jews
• 14:50
  kill Jesus that the oldest surviving book Christian book in
• 14:57
  all of Christian literature was written in 49 school.
• 15:00
  First Thessalonians was written by Paul and chapter 2 verse 14
• 15:06
  through 16 the author openly says that the Jews killed Jesus
• 15:11
  Christ and their own prophets are contrary to all mankind and
• 15:16
  we oppose humanity and therefore the wrath of God is upon us.
• 15:21
  That's the earliest book in the Christian Bible.
• 15:24
  I mean we can go to the last gospel, John chapter 8 verse 44
• 15:29
  where the Jews are told that your father is the devil.
• 15:33
  So now, so they have that kind of literature with I mean in
• 15:38
  Revelation 2 you went to yeshiva, you know those
• 15:42
  chapters, Chapter 2, chapter 3, it says that you, you are not
• 15:48
  even a real Jew, but you rather you the synagogue of Satan.
• 15:52
  This is mind blowing stuff. But this really is not what
• 15:56
  creates the anti-Semitism. The anti-Semitism isn't the
• 15:59
  storytelling. The the gospels are very well
• 16:04
  written in the there's a in the, a protagonist, you know that is,
• 16:12
  there's the antagonist, the villains, and the Jews in every
• 16:15
  story. Not in 90% of the stories.
• 16:18
  In every single story, Jesus just trying to do nice things to
• 16:23
  people like heal people and the Jews are trying to prevent him
• 16:27
  from healing a blind person. John Chapter 9.
• 16:31
  In every story it's the Jews Herod the Great is trying to
• 16:36
  kill. Right from the day you open up
• 16:38
  the Christian Bible. Herod the Great This is a story
• 16:42
  a little boy born in Bethlehem. It's based on a spurious passage
• 16:47
  with a RIP upon mica 52. I'm not going to go into
• 16:50
  analysis, but the key is the whole the first story we're
• 16:54
  introduced to is is a little the Messiah is born in Bethlehem and
• 16:59
  the king of the Jews is trying to find him in Kellen and kills
• 17:03
  every single boy in Bethlehem under the age of two years old.
• 17:08
  And meanwhile goyim non Jews are coming from the east and they
• 17:13
  they bring in presents. It's unbelievable, but why can't
• 17:16
  I make the argument that again, from from the reader's
• 17:19
  perspective in the earlier books, that Jesus is really just
• 17:23
  trying to help the Hebrews and we're just not getting the
• 17:26
  picture? It doesn't seem that that we're
• 17:29
  evil and deserving of death. It sounds like from those books
• 17:31
  that Jesus is trying to, not that I agree with what he's
• 17:34
  doing, but Jesus is trying to come here and to to help the
• 17:37
  Jewish people. You don't think that's what it
• 17:38
  appears like in Matthews or Mark?
• 17:41
  No. You don't get that impression,
• 17:43
  no. In every story, I'm we're just
• 17:46
  saying this is good, good. So in every.
• 17:49
  I mean, that's impression that I got reading them multiple times.
• 17:52
  Yeah, yeah. In every story, Jesus is, is is
• 17:57
  healing people. The paralytic early on in the
• 18:02
  book of Mark, he chose Mark. I'll go with Mark.
• 18:05
  So he's healing a paralytic and he don't ask.
• 18:11
  So he he says, get up from your structure, you could walk.
• 18:16
  And he says your sins are forgiven.
• 18:18
  Let's go. Well, what do you think that the
• 18:22
  normal people though? Wow, that was amazing.
• 18:25
  The guy's paralyzed now could pick up a stretcher and go.
• 18:29
  And he tells him your sins are done with.
• 18:32
  What do the Jews do? It says, what do the Jews do?
• 18:35
  The Jews says, oh, this guy's angry gladly.
• 18:38
  How is he able to figure sin. This is a humble so the Jews are
• 18:42
  not only opposing visas the pedantic, the picayune.
• 18:49
  They're so into these detail they can't see the big picture
• 18:52
  of the son of God is all he's doing is just trying to do nice
• 18:55
  things to people and every single story is like that.
• 18:58
  Every story is the Jews are the enemy.
• 19:02
  It's like what Candice Owens, we kill JFK, we kill Charlie Kirk
• 19:08
  and the Jews are plotting to own the control.
• 19:10
  It's the protocols of the elders design.
• 19:13
  Every story is that way. It's it's.
• 19:15
  High. And by the way, by the way, what
• 19:19
  I'm saying, it's not like I have a grievance with Christianity
• 19:23
  and I have an unfavorable view of the church.
• 19:26
  All of the church fathers, everyone of them agreed with me.
• 19:31
  All the reformers, loser to Calvin, they all read it this
• 19:34
  way. That means what I'm saying.
• 19:36
  If you read all the commentaries of the church, all of them, they
• 19:40
  all read it. All of them, all the patristic
• 19:43
  fathers really that look at the Jews and how they this is not
• 19:48
  like I'm sort of reading a text in a way that's unfavorable
• 19:52
  because I don't I don't know all of them did now in our time,
• 19:57
  because anti-Semitism is his say is socially unacceptable.
• 20:04
  But I realize that that that's no longer the case anymore.
• 20:08
  I mean, we're living in a bizarre time.
• 20:12
  So in our time you will meet many nice Christians you really
• 20:16
  will like if you meet a nice Catholic priest or a Bishop or
• 20:20
  whatever. These things he will never say.
• 20:23
  Rather, he'll say he will, On the contrary, will go out of
• 20:26
  there with the Liberal mainline. Wait a second.
• 20:29
  I need to take it a step back. Sure, I'm going to say something
• 20:32
  pretty crazy. Go for it.
• 20:34
  I'm proud of of the Jews, at least the way in the depicted in
• 20:39
  the earlier books. And I'll tell you why.
• 20:41
  I'll tell you why, because I would have loved to have been
• 20:43
  one of those Jews criticizing Jesus to me, to me looking out,
• 20:48
  you know, from the inside. He's seen man.
• 20:49
  It's important to have done all these miracles.
• 20:51
  I personally don't believe that he's done, but even if I were to
• 20:54
  bloom that he's done it, I would call him a radical because why
• 20:58
  would I? Because he's saying your sins
• 20:59
  are forgiven. You know, he has the power of
• 21:01
  healing. The entire relationship between
• 21:04
  us does not is supposed to be something that's far deeper than
• 21:06
  someone than us touching the edge of someone's cloak and all
• 21:09
  of a sudden all of our sins are forgiven and we're healed.
• 21:11
  You know, I feel that religion is a very deep relationship with
• 21:14
  God and forgiveness is not something that can be given to
• 21:17
  you or bought. It's something that you have to
• 21:18
  work out with your creator. So I would have been a big
• 21:21
  critic of Jesus. I think if I was around at that
• 21:23
  time, and I'm proud of the Jews that were, I would, if I were to
• 21:26
  see someone today that were going around saying you're
• 21:28
  forgiven, you're forgiven, I'm going to heal you.
• 21:31
  I'll call that person like the master of dark magic or mate.
• 21:34
  I mean, you wouldn't do that. No, when?
• 21:36
  When I learnt about the great rabbis of our time.
• 21:41
  When the modern period castillic rebbies were able to heal
• 21:45
  people. When I went to La Baba Cherubba
• 21:49
  and asked for a couple that couldn't have children for
• 21:52
  years. And and then, Baba Cherubbi,
• 21:53
  just take your sons. I forgive.
• 21:54
  Her. No, that's a different thing.
• 21:56
  So your sins are forgiven. Was it that means the the
• 21:59
  coupling? Of the 2 is really disturbs.
• 22:03
  Me Anakanabe Anakani. It's true.
• 22:05
  No, it's true. It's dark.
• 22:07
  So there is enough. You're right.
• 22:10
  I I would say this that imagine, imagine if you're Rabbi says you
• 22:17
  know, Hashem doesn't hold one of your welcome account of what he
• 22:21
  did because of what he went through in his life.
• 22:24
  So scholars usually learn that you're you're raising a valuable
• 22:27
  question. Scholars usually view that so as
• 22:31
  Jesus say I forgive yourself, he's saying floppy sham.
• 22:37
  Your sins are forgiven, you know.
• 22:38
  Even that's crazy. That person had no children.
• 22:41
  What? What's religion?
• 22:42
  What's relationship with God? If I can just throw that away at
• 22:44
  any time my sins are forgiven or shove me into mix up John the
• 22:47
  Baptist just shoving people to look okay now you're holy.
• 22:50
  What is that? What is this idea?
• 22:52
  Well, John Baptist, and far as the question Bible is concerned,
• 22:56
  is saying that people should get baptized as a symbol of the
• 23:00
  repentance it was. A I hope I if I was going to be
• 23:05
  down on the cuffs, I would hope that it would mean that I would
• 23:08
  hope it would mean this is just symbolically beginning your
• 23:10
  chief of Casas. That's not the impression when
• 23:13
  I'm reading. It's like, you know, you Duncan.
• 23:15
  Now you're, you know, you're somewhat holding.
• 23:17
  So John is not presented that way.
• 23:19
  He is presented someone saying we're cut now the human evidence
• 23:23
  coming. John the Bible is a real
• 23:25
  historical person and he really, he's brought down Josephus and
• 23:30
  that's legitimate stuff. Josephus with Jesus in it is
• 23:34
  faith. It's a later corruption.
• 23:36
  So John the Baptist was we, we have very little literature, but
• 23:41
  from what we know, he was going around saying the Kingdom of
• 23:45
  heaven is coming, the empire is going to fall to Chuvo.
• 23:50
  And as a symbol of your Chuvo, you should be should come from
• 23:53
  the club. If it's that, that's not so
• 23:55
  crazy. Chuvo's good, I'm pro chuvo.
• 23:58
  That's how he was presented. In fact, he's presented right in
• 24:01
  the beginning of the Testament. John the Bethel is preaching
• 24:04
  repentance and the baptism for the remission of sins.
• 24:09
  So he's not presented that business, probably.
• 24:13
  I mean, there's no reason not to believe that during this very
• 24:16
  difficult time. I would say to you that if Jesus
• 24:21
  is saying that your sins are forgiven, that Hashem forgives
• 24:25
  your sins. It's certainly the key point is
• 24:29
  from the Christian Bible's viewpoint, it looks like here's
• 24:32
  a man who's the son of God. That's how it's presented, who's
• 24:37
  just saying your sins are forgiven, go home.
• 24:41
  So and the Jews are going how do you come to forgive sins in
• 24:46
  technically he doesn't say directly I forgive you Sir.
• 24:49
  He says your sins are forgiven in the way the crime and
• 24:53
  Leviticus would say that your sins are forgiven in the
• 24:56
  passive, not in the directive. He didn't say I forgive you,
• 25:00
  Sir, but he says your sins are forgiven.
• 25:02
  But that's how a new test and a scholar but.
• 25:04
  Even by Kohanim there's there's somewhat of a chuva process.
• 25:07
  Oh yeah, no, that they bought, let's say a carbon and.
• 25:10
  And this couldn't, like, it makes sense to me why this
• 25:13
  infected the church and why hundreds of years later when the
• 25:16
  church was monetarily having issues all of a sudden that you
• 25:19
  could, you know, buy your Chuva process.
• 25:21
  So I can I see this as like a misora of Jesus where repentance
• 25:24
  is something that we can really give out and you don't really
• 25:27
  have to improve yourself. It's OK.
• 25:29
  So Christians would say that a person does have to improve
• 25:32
  themselves. That means you're right, you're
• 25:35
  correct. I mean, a Christian would say
• 25:37
  there's no action of yours that could save yourself in their
• 25:41
  language, you can't work your way into heaven and you can't
• 25:45
  merit your own salvation. But a Christian would say,
• 25:49
  whether Catholic, Protestant, that if you become a Christian,
• 25:52
  you, your works would demonstrate the way you live
• 25:56
  your life, would demonstrate that you're now a Christian and
• 25:59
  you're now a better person. Not that those they call it
• 26:03
  works because they don't like the word mitzvos.
• 26:05
  They like words that are ugly with describing it says so they
• 26:09
  they wouldn't say that you can go around robbing banks and
• 26:12
  doing whatever you want. They would say that, you know,
• 26:14
  and this actually comes up in the book of James that faithful
• 26:18
  that works is dead and Christians wouldn't view it that
• 26:21
  way. But the key point is imagine
• 26:24
  this, you might react one way, but in the Christian Bible, the
• 26:29
  game are just going, oh, that's terrific.
• 26:31
  You're going around healing people.
• 26:34
  You're doing all these nice things.
• 26:35
  He's like Superman. He really is like a Superman
• 26:39
  person is a little deeper than that.
• 26:41
  So Superman is an interesting character in the he was really a
• 26:46
  reporter for a big newspaper, right?
• 26:48
  And no one knew that he and if Clark Kent right.
• 26:53
  But when son was in trouble, he would go and rescue them and
• 26:56
  then he would then assume back as well as someone who didn't
• 26:59
  wasn't recognized. So that's how he's presented in
• 27:02
  the gospel, particularly in the book of Mark 1st 8 chapters.
• 27:05
  No one knows who that who this guy is, but he's just running
• 27:08
  around with savior everybody. So I can assure you one thing,
• 27:11
  when you read the text, the Jews do not come off well.
• 27:16
  The Christians were not crazy. They looked at these sets and
• 27:20
  said the Jews would be. I hear you, but to me they to me
• 27:25
  I think they do like I hear and I understand what.
• 27:27
  You think they do? I think the Jews do.
• 27:30
  I'm proud of those. Jews.
• 27:32
  Of criticizing Jesus, I really am.
• 27:34
  I would do the same thing. I would say what do you mean
• 27:36
  that your your ignitions are forgiven and you don't have to
• 27:38
  improve yourself? He doesn't say you don't have to
• 27:40
  prove yourself. He doesn't say that you do.
• 27:42
  That's the whole reason. He he does.
• 27:45
  He does, for instance, with the woman, the woman who committed
• 27:49
  adultery. So there's a weird story in John
• 27:52
  Chester 8 where the woman is caught in adultery.
• 27:56
  The Jews are going to stop now. This is really a fake story.
• 27:59
  It doesn't even appear in the earlier but whatever is it's
• 28:03
  called the percopy adultery. It's 12 verses.
• 28:05
  But the key is he says who he thought they were going to start
• 28:10
  up for adultery and he said who among you is without sin?
• 28:13
  You should cast the first stone and all them walked away sadly
• 28:17
  because none of them were without sin.
• 28:19
  He then tells the woman, oh God, you can go now because there's
• 28:24
  no one here to condemn you and sin no more.
• 28:27
  That does come up in the text. The key is that it's the Jews
• 28:31
  are trying to tell him this guy is terrific.
• 28:36
  It really is not it it it he doesn't.
• 28:40
  The Jews do not do what it's going Gentiles non Christians
• 28:44
  are not genetically sick in the hill.
• 28:47
  They've rather been exposed to this very toxic literature and
• 28:52
  as such the Jews are characterized in a way that in
• 28:56
  in the Ukraine and. Washing all Christian.
• 28:58
  Countries. People looked at the Jews as the
• 29:01
  enemies of society, I hear. What you're saying if you were
• 29:05
  living? In I, I went, I went to see the
• 29:07
  women's Terebi and he was a he was a Sadiq and he was a miracle
• 29:15
  worker. And I was taken away by him and
• 29:18
  he and when I read our literature where great people
• 29:23
  said, well, I don't want to, you know, go through all the
• 29:26
  details. I'm just saying it's very clear.
• 29:28
  One thing is very clear and that is that the way it's written,
• 29:33
  the book of Mark is small is 679 verses, 16 chapters.
• 29:38
  You can read it in 90 minutes it it would slap you in the face it
• 29:43
  it because every single story everybody thinks Jesus is the
• 29:47
  best thing happened since sliced bread and he's the son of God
• 29:51
  and the Jews just somehow find some issue to start up with him
• 29:57
  and. And Jesus using some pithy
• 29:59
  aphorism to get out of it. And the and the rabbis are the
• 30:04
  Pharisees and scribes are all like don't even know what.
• 30:08
  To say so I could just say one thing and that is the way it is
• 30:12
  written. A person would certainly say
• 30:16
  that this guy is really a good guy and all these Pharisees are
• 30:21
  just the worst people. In the world.
• 30:23
  If you were present in all the stories that are in the New, in
• 30:26
  the New Testament, if you were present, observing it, what
• 30:29
  would your response to Jesus have been?
• 30:31
  Would you have? How would you criticize him?
• 30:34
  What would what would you walk away with, assuming the story?
• 30:37
  You're talking about. I want to know what Rabbi Singer
• 30:41
  would have I. Think.
• 30:42
  About Jesus a lot. And that's not all of this is
• 30:47
  myth. You're asking me if I met Bugs
• 30:48
  Bunny. You're not asking if I met Bugs,
• 30:51
  because that's. What this all is?
• 30:52
  This is all Bugs Bunny. So let's say it's Bugs Bunny.
• 30:55
  If you if you were, if you went back in time 2000 years ago and
• 30:59
  Jesus did the miracles that are that are spoken about that he
• 31:02
  purportedly did, what would your impression be of that man?
• 31:06
  Oh, but he was also claiming to be the Son of God, and he was
• 31:10
  claiming to be. You don't have to believe that
• 31:11
  again. I want you to be a family on the
• 31:13
  wall. Then what would have?
• 31:15
  What would your response be? Looking at all that, assuming
• 31:17
  the myths were true for a moment, I wouldn't be convinced,
• 31:21
  but I'm curious what your reaction would be.
• 31:24
  I would just be very offended the way he treated Shabbos the
• 31:28
  way he would treated cautious. Think of Mark Chapter 7 verse
• 31:33
  2021 where he says what enters your mouth doesn't defile you,
• 31:38
  but what leaves your mouth defiles you and then openly
• 31:42
  says, therefore making unclean foods clean.
• 31:45
  I would say this person needs a lot of help.
• 31:49
  I often I'll just tell you something weird.
• 31:51
  I've never said this publicly, I don't think and I've said a lot
• 31:54
  publicly. I wish I was there 2000 years
• 32:00
  ago and I wish I could have been there for him and I wish I could
• 32:05
  have helped him out and I regret I couldn't.
• 32:08
  So this is something that I do think about that I wish I could
• 32:13
  have taken this lost soul and I could have helped him and and he
• 32:18
  would have done Shuva and not walk around diminishing Khazal,
• 32:24
  the sages of blessed memory, diminishing the Shabbos which he
• 32:28
  did frequently diminishing of our for instance, wash your
• 32:35
  hands before eating bread. I was said to him, look, this is
• 32:38
  very important. Submit Sudhir Abhana to wash
• 32:40
  your hands. If we eat bread, I would say,
• 32:42
  come, let's learn together. I I have thought about that.
• 32:45
  I wish I could have gone back in history and said to him, let's
• 32:50
  learn together. Let's talk together.
• 32:51
  That's how I'm wired. I'm wiretap him out.
• 32:54
  So what happened to him? There's a problem.
• 32:57
  He never wrote a book because he never wrote.
• 33:00
  We have no surviving literature that he wrote.
• 33:02
  So there was a big, big question of what?
• 33:06
  Who was the historical Jesus? That's and he can't answer with
• 33:10
  clarity. It's so one thing is.
• 33:13
  Clear from our literature, Jewish literature, Kazal he's a
• 33:18
  person with very poor character that means Kazal have.
• 33:23
  Almost nothing. Flattering to say about him,
• 33:26
  except when Unglas spoke to him in the Talmud.
• 33:29
  If that's the Jesus of Christianity, which is
• 33:32
  debatable, he did say that he should convert to Judaism, which
• 33:37
  the Gamar points out. Ah, you see, the Jews says
• 33:40
  convert. Bilim says don't, but he says.
• 33:42
  Do so. So it's it is a very interesting
• 33:48
  thing. So as far as Khazal is
• 33:50
  concerned, he never. Claimed to be Meshiach and he
• 33:53
  never claimed to be a Novi. He never made any of those
• 33:56
  claims. And what's very intriguing is in
• 33:59
  the Christian Bible, he almost never claims to be Meshiach in
• 34:03
  the Christian Bible. In fact, in Matthew chapter 16,
• 34:07
  when he's about to be executed by the by the Empire, he.
• 34:11
  Asks his disciples, who do you think I am?
• 34:14
  Who do you say I am? And nobody knows has an idea.
• 34:17
  And then and then Peter says you are the crisis of the living God
• 34:21
  means you're Messiah. And Jesus says to him, no one
• 34:25
  could have revealed this to you, which is in which backs up
• 34:28
  Hazel, which is intriguing. So we have to do, we have to try
• 34:32
  to piece this together. Jewish literature has an
• 34:35
  unflattering view of him. Now, one caveat for the viewers
• 34:41
  is that there's a big debate over whether the literature we
• 34:46
  have which might be about him is really about him.
• 34:50
  And in the disputation in in Paris in 1242, the chief
• 34:55
  argument that this is of why the Talmud should not be burned in
• 35:00
  Paris was it's not the same person.
• 35:03
  There are other people who think it is the same person.
• 35:05
  I have view on this, but this is not germane.
• 35:08
  Let's just say, let's just say it is the same person.
• 35:14
  Hazal's view is that he's not a Nova Shaker.
• 35:17
  He's not a false prophet. And he never claimed to be
• 35:20
  Meshach and he was a false Messiah.
• 35:22
  Like shops. I see like Jacob Frank, like all
• 35:24
  these lunatics, therefore we have a hot, hostile witness.
• 35:29
  Jewish literature has very little to say about him.
• 35:32
  That's flattering. And however, they never accused
• 35:36
  him of any of those things. The worst thing is that he was
• 35:39
  Mazal Sabse Haman. He cheapened, denigrated.
• 35:43
  The words of sages, which would be consistent with the gospels.
• 35:46
  So therefore, he's not a guy running around saying I'm the
• 35:51
  Messiah, but he's a person who's seems to be gratuitously angry.
• 35:55
  He was, he was in the gospel. He's like very angry with
• 35:58
  people. He gets into conversations with
• 36:00
  people, which any normal person would have just been gentle
• 36:04
  about it, but he just goes at it very, very hard.
• 36:08
  So that seems to come through in the Gospels.
• 36:11
  This is a hard area because we have no contemporaneous
• 36:16
  writings. Even the Christian Bible was
• 36:19
  written after he's dead, he's writing nothing.
• 36:22
  So what we're trying to do is we're trying to reconstruct who
• 36:26
  was the historical Jesus. That is what all of New
• 36:30
  Testament scholarship is about, this quest for the historical
• 36:34
  Jesus. But if I can reassemble it, I
• 36:37
  think you had a person who's very angry and this mythology
• 36:41
  about him doing miracles is definitely a later accretion
• 36:46
  that was developed. One caveat, it should be said,
• 36:49
  is that in the ancient world, this is how they told stories
• 36:53
  about these gods with demigods. Vespasian were told by Josephus
• 36:59
  when blind people were put brought in front of him, he was
• 37:02
  able to touch their eyes and they would walk away and be able
• 37:05
  to see. Cripples would come to him, he
• 37:07
  would stretch their foot, his foot out to them and they would
• 37:11
  suddenly be able to walk. This was normative in the
• 37:14
  ancient world. This is how stories were told.
• 37:17
  So therefore it's very obvious that the Gospels are a product
• 37:21
  of this veldt on the shelf where all the holy people are just
• 37:24
  running around doing outrageous miracles.
• 37:28
  There were no cameras back then, you know, mythology was just
• 37:34
  non-stop. So that's how people thought it
• 37:36
  wasn't down to earth. So in short, the Jesus that's
• 37:40
  depicted and the New Testament, you'd want to help him the best
• 37:44
  that you could, and you see a wayward man and The Who Jesus
• 37:48
  really was, though we're not really sure because you don't
• 37:51
  really have anything from Jesus himself to sum up your answer.
• 37:53
  Would that be an accurate depiction?
• 37:54
  Oh yeah, we can't. No, because we have.
• 37:56
  No, we have. He didn't write anything, and no
• 38:00
  one who was alive wrote anything.
• 38:03
  No one means the gospel writers don't even say who they are
• 38:07
  they've written. Anonymously, the Matthew, Mark,
• 38:10
  Luke and Jean. Those ascriptions were inserted
• 38:13
  in the year about 1. 80 by the Archbishop of.
• 38:18
  Of Lyon, his name was Irenaeus. So this is like 150 years later
• 38:24
  and the Archbishop of modern day France says the first gospel was
• 38:29
  written by Matthew. The book of Matthew doesn't say
• 38:31
  I I saw anything. The book of Mark doesn't say I
• 38:35
  watched this. None of them even claim to be
• 38:38
  eyewitnesses. They're all writing in the third
• 38:40
  person. How do you understand looking at
• 38:43
  Matthews chapter 5, where there's a tremendous sensitivity
• 38:49
  of Jesus saying that there's something called halacha and we
• 38:53
  have to keep it religiously. And then two chapters later were
• 38:57
  plucking ears of grain on Shabbos and then and Luke were
• 39:02
  not really caring what we're eating.
• 39:04
  And yet we still have these pockets of of Jesus saying for
• 39:07
  people to bring the proper offerings, carbonos to the base
• 39:09
  of mikdash if they had Saras. How do you understand that?
• 39:13
  You're getting deep with me. That's good.
• 39:15
  So the first part is the sermon. Of the mount Matthew chapter 5
• 39:18
  and you're thinking about verse 17 that I didn't come to change
• 39:22
  the law, but to fulfill it and anyone who breaks even the
• 39:27
  smallest. Of the commandments is
• 39:29
  considered least in the Kingdom of Heaven and then it says
• 39:32
  interesting, unless your righteousness exceeds those of
• 39:36
  the rabbis, you can't mean the the Pharisees and scribes you
• 39:40
  can't go to heaven. It's amazing statement.
• 39:43
  So there are different theories about that little piece.
• 39:46
  So I just put up a few verses until that's till verse 20.
• 39:50
  So people view that generally as this is an older, more authentic
• 39:57
  text because something called verisimilitude.
• 40:01
  If Jesus Jesus it was a Pharisee, that's no question
• 40:05
  means he comes from a Pharisee background.
• 40:07
  So therefore there's a method that it's called very similar to
• 40:12
  fancy Latin word which means that would be consistent with a
• 40:17
  an Orthodox Jew living in the ancient world.
• 40:21
  So therefore scholars generally view that as.
• 40:26
  This represents an earlier, more primitive version of the
• 40:31
  Gospels, and it's what's called a queue source if.
• 40:36
  You don't want me to explain it. I won't.
• 40:38
  I'm. Curious.
• 40:38
  OK, do you want it? You have the time.
• 40:40
  It's good. There's a there's something, a
• 40:42
  very intriguing thing about the Gospels and but.
• 40:45
  Before, I want to make sure I understood what you said before
• 40:47
  correctly. So very similar to it is that
• 40:49
  we're able to have a higher level of.
• 40:51
  Of confidence. Right, because it matches up
• 40:54
  with that. Conceived notions, right, We
• 40:57
  have think we think he was an Orthodox Jew from the northern
• 41:00
  Galilee and therefore an Orthodox Jew would say, look,
• 41:04
  you have to keep the Torah. And therefore because it's
• 41:06
  consistent, the consensus would be it would be a vote to say if
• 41:11
  any verse in the Christian Bible really happened or something
• 41:15
  remotely resembling that we would happen.
• 41:18
  I'll explain what the Q source is, how pleasant.
• 41:21
  So it's very interesting. Forget about John.
• 41:25
  Matthew, Mark and Luke are called the Synoptic Gospels.
• 41:28
  But what's really happening is Matthew and Luke are almost
• 41:32
  copying almost all of Mark. Almost all of Mark appears both
• 41:36
  in Matthew and Luke. However, there's something very
• 41:38
  interesting. What's that?
• 41:40
  And that is there about 235 verses that appear word for word
• 41:46
  virtually identical in Matthew, Luke and do not appear in the
• 41:51
  book of Mark. So Matthew Luke of both, not
• 41:54
  just Simon, not just relying on Mark, they're copying Mark, but
• 41:59
  there are 235 passages less than 300 verses that Matthew Luke of
• 42:05
  Share and they're not in Mark muck Reclaimer.
• 42:10
  So what do we have to say This is standard scholarship is this
• 42:14
  is called they had another source which did not survive.
• 42:18
  It means an older gospel that were the sayings of Jesus and
• 42:22
  therefore it survives in Matthew and Luke in those verses, but
• 42:27
  Mark didn't have access to it and they would now there's a sad
• 42:31
  Hashava. All of the queue passages have
• 42:34
  something in common. This is called two source theory
• 42:38
  or hypothesis developed by German scholars about 200 years
• 42:42
  ago, and it's still. The standard not this is not,
• 42:46
  this is the humanity. So no, not everyone, but.
• 42:49
  This is standard. What happened was the sayings
• 42:52
  passages really are older than Mark.
• 42:55
  That didn't. The book itself didn't survive
• 42:58
  and it's called. Q Because of the German word
• 43:00
  which means cabella, which means the source.
• 43:04
  So therefore these cue passages are all saying, interestingly,
• 43:08
  he's not running around doing miracles, he's not doing all the
• 43:12
  mythical stuff of healing blind people, rather he's saying
• 43:16
  things that are teachings. So therefore the theory is, and
• 43:20
  this is a consensus, that these would reflect in earlier
• 43:26
  writing, that only survived through Matthew, Luke, the
• 43:29
  Sermon of the Mount. Is a part of that.
• 43:32
  You describe it there. So that's very interesting.
• 43:35
  So here we see something that in an Orthodox Jew would say, and
• 43:41
  we would be very comfortable with that.
• 43:45
  The problem here. Is what occurs after this, and
• 43:49
  that's what's called the antitheses.
• 43:52
  The antitheses begin in verse 21 of Matthew 5.
• 43:57
  Through 48. And there we have 6 antitheses.
• 44:02
  I'll give you one that's very famous.
• 44:04
  So the antitheses goes that you have heard.
• 44:07
  But I say unto you, meaning you have heard Moshe in brackets.
• 44:12
  Moses said this, but I have something more to say to you.
• 44:16
  Moses says that if you commit adultery, so then you you are
• 44:22
  liable. I say unto you, Even if you had
• 44:25
  a desire. In your heart.
• 44:27
  You've already committed adultery.
• 44:30
  Well, what are you talking about?
• 44:32
  So this is a very critical thing because in classical Jewish
• 44:37
  thought, if a person says, let's say a woman is at some
• 44:41
  convention in Las Vegas, her husband's far away and she knows
• 44:45
  this man. And she says to herself, you
• 44:47
  know, I couldn't sleep with this, but you know what I'm not
• 44:51
  going to do? Because I fear Hashem and walks
• 44:53
  away. So that person's a greater
• 44:54
  person, the person who? But he had her.
• 44:57
  She had her hurim. Or what she had her hurim.
• 45:00
  But. She was able to suppress it.
• 45:02
  There's no question that the person, let's say you meet
• 45:06
  someone, you're a roof. Yes, Right.
• 45:09
  Last I checked. If you meet a young man who says
• 45:15
  I'm struggling with same sex attraction which every roof has
• 45:20
  to deal with. And this person says to you,
• 45:26
  despite this, I'm going to fight this desire which you and I
• 45:30
  can't even relate to. It doesn't make sense to us.
• 45:33
  Like why would you, right? But obviously this person does
• 45:36
  and this person says, but I'm not going to follow through with
• 45:39
  my desire. Or rather I'm going to find a
• 45:42
  woman and have children with her.
• 45:43
  And I know many, many people like that.
• 45:45
  And I'm sure without asking, you do too.
• 45:47
  This person has a place in island Mahaba that I could never
• 45:50
  even hope that. And I always tell them we're
• 45:51
  very lucky. No, that might be so, but we
• 45:54
  can't cancel out the Haram as being forbidden.
• 45:57
  The thoughts that the the fantasies that they had are
• 46:00
  definitely forbidden, but. You can turn that into a
• 46:04
  mitzvah, which means a person. That doesn't mean that I'm going
• 46:06
  to start thinking about those things all day.
• 46:08
  I. Don't think it's humanly
• 46:10
  possible for a person not to have some desire.
• 46:14
  I think the person. Well, how do we know that Jesus
• 46:17
  isn't talking about you fantasizing, you know?
• 46:20
  Oh, 'cause he's dafka saying, you have heard.
• 46:23
  That's why they're called antithesis.
• 46:25
  He is saying that much Urbain, who said if you actually do the
• 46:29
  act in, in classical Jewish thinking, if you're tempted to
• 46:35
  do something, but then you say, but you know what?
• 46:39
  I can't do. It that's Kushmak, that's a
• 46:41
  that's that's a tremendous. Higher.
• 46:42
  Level no that That may be so, but why can't I make the claim?
• 46:46
  Oh, because he's saying it's against Moses.
• 46:47
  What he's saying is I'm an Uber Moses.
• 46:50
  No, but maybe. But Moshe Rabainen would have
• 46:52
  agreed that if a person would have had her Hiram on purpose,
• 46:54
  that it'd be awesome. What is on purpose?
• 46:56
  These are real. This is a real Yates or means a
• 46:58
  person. Like, I'm not fantasizing about
• 47:01
  anyone in particular right now, OK?
• 47:03
  Because you're sitting with Rabbi Singer.
• 47:06
  That's why. But are you sitting with someone
• 47:09
  decent looking? No, it's very simple that if a
• 47:12
  person is in this place where a person could go, let's say
• 47:17
  you're on a vacation and navigation, you're on business
• 47:20
  in Las Vegas for a big convention, right?
• 47:22
  And it's very easy to if a person walks, you walk across
• 47:25
  the street and God only knows what goes on.
• 47:26
  The person says, I'm not going to go there because people are
• 47:29
  not dressed properly. That person has a much greater
• 47:33
  that the person who's living in Benet.
• 47:34
  Brad was like. That's not what I'm saying.
• 47:37
  If I go to Vegas, which I'm not going to go to Vegas, but if I
• 47:39
  would go to Vegas and see a tremendously attractive woman,
• 47:42
  OK, I would hope that I have enough, you know, wherewithal in
• 47:46
  my mind to not even kick into gear like automatically and
• 47:49
  think about her and then fight it.
• 47:50
  I hope I have enough in there that I could like, not even
• 47:53
  think about, you know, fantasize it all.
• 47:56
  If I were to fantasize naturally and fight and win, OK, then I do
• 48:00
  think that that's still pious for me to be like, well, I
• 48:04
  really shouldn't fantasize about this person, but wow, this
• 48:06
  person just looks amazing, so I'm going to fantasize anyway.
• 48:09
  I think we can all agree that that would be wrong.
• 48:11
  Can we agree? Can we agree to that?
• 48:12
  Would that be wrong? I don't know.
• 48:15
  So the word fantasize a little bit, a little bit murky.
• 48:18
  That means the person says I really.
• 48:20
  No, no, I know you mean that a person.
• 48:24
  Says I really would like to and I really can get away with it.
• 48:28
  But God, and she's very, she's objectively A knockout, but I'm
• 48:33
  not going to do it because the God of Israel is watching me and
• 48:36
  I know it's Usher. So that person will get a
• 48:40
  tremendous hair versus someone who'd never stepped out of my
• 48:44
  germ and never saw a woman that was dressed not so.
• 48:46
  Easy. I know.
• 48:47
  But I'm not talking about this case.
• 48:48
  I'm talking about how about I'll play the whole thing out.
• 48:50
  I see this woman. I was like, I know the God of
• 48:52
  the throat would really not want me.
• 48:54
  It would be forbidden for me to sleep with this person.
• 48:56
  But boy, am I going to think about it for the next 30
• 48:58
  minutes. That's awesome.
• 49:00
  Rabbi Singer. You think that's motor?
• 49:02
  No, no, a person, a person shouldn't the person for sure.
• 49:06
  Is it awesome? No, but the question is not ipso
• 49:09
  facto. It happened already.
• 49:10
  No, no more than happened. And it's happened.
• 49:12
  He's realized it, and he's keeping on going with the
• 49:14
  thought. Right, but the point is he, he
• 49:17
  is already committed adultery. None of us hold.
• 49:20
  I didn't say that he committed adultery.
• 49:22
  The key is, let me maybe phrase it differently.
• 49:26
  What is happening is he is saying that actually nobody can
• 49:30
  keep it because if the. Standard is that you never in
• 49:34
  your life ever have lust or never get angry at anybody or
• 49:39
  you've already committed murder. So if that's the standard, then
• 49:43
  in fact no one could live their lives obedient to God.
• 49:47
  It becomes impossible. Yeah, but it could be der Gozma,
• 49:50
  just the way that LFA Alphae Abdullah the Hazal say in the
• 49:53
  Gemara. Anita, I'll call manafin BA hive
• 49:58
  hive, miser hive. Lots more.
• 49:59
  Forget exactly the lotion, but you know that's that's Hazal
• 50:02
  saying that someone that engages in masturbation, right?
• 50:05
  It's oser and they're high, but not shall he deserves to die to
• 50:08
  a certain degree. OK, so why can't we make the
• 50:11
  claim that Jesus is saying that thinking about sleeping with
• 50:15
  someone else's wife on purpose, not not because it's automatic,
• 50:19
  but on purpose is this is it is has a sham that's of of adultery
• 50:24
  attached to it? Is that so insane?
• 50:25
  He. Doesn't say somebody's wife, he
• 50:27
  says someone who thinks about a woman with lust.
• 50:32
  He has already committed adultery though.
• 50:34
  OK, but but that's a gozma. Why can't I say that's a gozma?
• 50:36
  There's like even often be out as a.
• 50:38
  Gozma there's no Yeah, but the. According to the chiffonier.
• 50:40
  There's no, there's no action there.
• 50:44
  Look, the key is I think let's just see we can find a point of
• 50:48
  agreement, which I think we can. I think you and I would agree
• 50:52
  that a person says I have an opportunity, but I fear Hashem.
• 50:57
  She's objectively beautiful, but I won't do it because God
• 51:03
  commanded me not to. And that person resists the
• 51:05
  temptation. Super holy, super holy.
• 51:08
  That's all. So it's true.
• 51:10
  I said, wow, she's a knockout or a woman says, oh, he's so
• 51:14
  handsome. He's a, you know, handsome
• 51:17
  fellows, could be Brad Pitt, I don't know, whatever it is, and
• 51:20
  she doesn't go through with it and she could.
• 51:22
  So she has a tremendous, tremendous thing.
• 51:24
  We're not talking about any follow up activity.
• 51:27
  Now. There is interesting discussion
• 51:29
  in this, but it's very clear. I'm going to push back.
• 51:32
  I'm going. To push, you see, I just say
• 51:34
  this the way it's framed in the Christian Bible.
• 51:37
  See, we could tease this out in a in a methodical way.
• 51:42
  We could do that. Sure, we can.
• 51:45
  But the way it's phrased is that what I'm presenting to you is a
• 51:50
  higher way than what the Torah is saying, right?
• 51:53
  That's what I want. That's really what I wanted to
• 51:55
  convey. We could, We could, for
• 51:57
  instance, and Hazal discussed the 10th of the 10 commandments
• 52:02
  of how does that play into all this?
• 52:04
  Right? But it's very clear when reading
• 52:06
  the antithesis, what's saying is I've got something a much higher
• 52:11
  standard, which is impossible. No one could achieve never
• 52:15
  having less than their heart and therefore big laws there.
• 52:20
  I have something that is more than the Torah.
• 52:24
  That's what's coming across. So you may be technically
• 52:27
  correct. To what extent does a person
• 52:29
  have thoughts that are inappropriate?
• 52:33
  And if a person does that, says I'm not going to do because of
• 52:36
  God, we could, we could have this very intriguing
• 52:39
  conversation and we would not be the first rabbis to have that
• 52:42
  conversation. Our holy literature is filled
• 52:44
  with it. But the way it's framed in the
• 52:47
  Sermon of the Mount is that I've got something.
• 52:50
  Better than the Torah? Yeah, but that's so here.
• 52:52
  I'll, I'll, there's something almost comical about the the
• 52:56
  Sermon of the Mount for me. And it's it's not that I'll make
• 53:00
  the distinction. I think it could be possible
• 53:03
  that what Jesus is trying to say is having her harem is a type of
• 53:08
  of of an adulterous thing. And Lahava Alpha Dulles, we do
• 53:12
  find Khazal evidence for having her harem about women to be
• 53:15
  really not a good thing in an Avera that.
• 53:18
  So I think the framing bothers me a bit.
• 53:20
  Absolutely, absolutely. But I think it's possible that
• 53:22
  there he's saying something that I don't find so distasteful.
• 53:26
  And I think there might be a kernel of truth in that.
• 53:28
  I'll I'll show you something that I just find I can't make
• 53:31
  heads or tails of it. I find it almost comical is that
• 53:33
  by the Sermon over the mount, there's this sensitivity
• 53:36
  earlier, there's this sensitivity to the observance of
• 53:38
  halacha. And then two chapters later,
• 53:41
  we're not just breaking in this drab on them, which by the way,
• 53:44
  Jesus just put down later as well, but we're talking about
• 53:47
  breaking Shabbos just like completely full out and, and,
• 53:51
  and the the explanation is so is so strange, so that to me almost
• 53:57
  it just sounds ridiculous to me. I'd love to hear your your
• 53:59
  thoughts on that. But what makes it even worse is
• 54:02
  that he flips, he flips back like later, there's a
• 54:05
  sensitivity of bringing carbunos to the base of Mictush.
• 54:07
  I mean, it's it really like, I don't, I don't want to make
• 54:10
  heads or like as someone, as a reader that's trying to be
• 54:13
  objective for the sake of analyzing the text in order to
• 54:16
  refute it. I I, I laughed.
• 54:19
  We would have to shave off about 30% of your IQ in order for you
• 54:24
  to be able to look at these texts because you're looking at
• 54:27
  them correctly with the presumption that the gospels are
• 54:31
  univocal and they're not at all. That means there are different
• 54:35
  voices in every chapter and it's almost like a different drug
• 54:39
  that's being injected differently.
• 54:41
  There's some people can't fall asleep, so they think 1 drug
• 54:44
  doesn't fall asleep or not they. And then during the day, they're
• 54:47
  taking other kind of. Drugs to make them away.
• 54:49
  The Christian Bible is not univocal at all.
• 54:52
  And by the way, Christians, 99% of Christians are antinomian.
• 55:00
  I know that. It's a right, so it's a fancy
• 55:03
  word, but it's an important word.
• 55:04
  Meaning oppose keeping ritual commandments.
• 55:09
  You're going to ask me. Look at Matthew 517.
• 55:11
  So as it turns out, you can ask any question says how come
• 55:14
  you're not eating closure? How can we not keeping showers
• 55:18
  and all the Jews who convert to Christianity, none of them keep
• 55:20
  it but Matthew 517. So they actually learn this
• 55:23
  differently than your claim. They say that Jesus filled the
• 55:29
  law for us. And by the way, this is not the
• 55:33
  consensus Cooley Alma Lai Pleii in the Christian world, all of
• 55:38
  Christendom, with the exception of a very weird unique group,
• 55:42
  there are like kind of 7th day Adventist group.
• 55:46
  They're really outliers. So the hurraya, what I'm saying
• 55:50
  is the consensus is that what Jesus really saying is that you
• 55:55
  don't have to keep the mixes. How that means?
• 55:57
  How do Christians work this all up?
• 55:58
  And why aren't they keeping anything?
• 56:00
  Moreover, Paul openly the theology of the New Testament is
• 56:05
  not in the Gospels. The real theologies all found
• 56:07
  the letters of Paul and in Hebrews, which the church
• 56:10
  fathers thought was written by Paul.
• 56:12
  It's wasn't, but they thought it was.
• 56:13
  It's not important. The key is that all of
• 56:17
  Christendom says that ritual commandments.
• 56:20
  No, they all hold you not love to murderers steal all these
• 56:22
  things that but the ritual commandments.
• 56:26
  Jews don't have to keep Shabbos anymore.
• 56:28
  Sabbath won't save you just so just so you know, there's a very
• 56:32
  interesting theme that's happening in this very
• 56:34
  intriguing conversation. In all cases, all of Christian
• 56:40
  scholarship agrees with me that what a that the Christian Bible
• 56:46
  portrays the Jews very, very poorly, except for the very
• 56:51
  liberal. Christians trying to make nice.
• 56:53
  So there are people, the Hillary Clinton Christians.
• 56:56
  It's all So if you go to some Episcopalian priest, no, it's
• 56:59
  not. Anti-Semitic and but look,
• 57:02
  Candace Owens is not saying anything.
• 57:04
  Tucker Carlson, all of his stuff is all Christian.
• 57:07
  I know it's unbelievable, but it's all Christian that the Jews
• 57:10
  really are disproportionately represented and are controlling
• 57:14
  the world and controlling foreign leaders.
• 57:16
  This is all Christian. The Protocols are the able to
• 57:18
  design all of this. But I still want the explanation
• 57:22
  of the antinomian. OK, so here it is.
• 57:24
  So all of Christianity, all of every Catholic, Protestant
• 57:30
  whole, that you don't have to keep any of the ritual
• 57:33
  commandments anymore because, oh, because Jesus filled it for
• 57:36
  me. Where he do that?
• 57:37
  Where does it say? So they learn those words that I
• 57:41
  didn't come to break the I didn't come to break the law,
• 57:44
  but to fulfill the law, that Jesus is the fulfillment of the
• 57:47
  law and therefore you don't have to keep it.
• 57:49
  Now if nothing else was written in the Christian Bible means the
• 57:53
  whole Christian Bible instead of 27 books is really one book and
• 57:59
  all you have the sermon in the mouth.
• 58:00
  That means Matthew 5-6 and seven so they wouldn't be able to get
• 58:04
  it from there alone. The problem they have is that
• 58:07
  Paul openly says that Christ is the end of the law to everyone
• 58:11
  who believes. Romans chapter 10 that Paul
• 58:13
  openly says that no one should ever tell you about what food
• 58:17
  you eat, what you drink that you keep in Shabbos.
• 58:20
  You're keeping Sabbath and young to the holidays numerals.
• 58:24
  He says that in Colossians chapter 2 verse 1617, let no one
• 58:29
  tell you about all these commandments.
• 58:31
  And then in verse 17 he says and he says why?
• 58:35
  So some people try to answer it up.
• 58:37
  Let me try to make sense. Scholars try to make sense out
• 58:39
  of this, but they're all wrong. He says because the law is only
• 58:45
  a shadow and the essence is Christ.
• 58:48
  This is how the church views this, the whole and Paul says
• 58:51
  this openly in Galatians 324. Why them?
• 58:55
  It's just all together. Why are there commandments at
• 58:59
  all? That means if no one is supposed
• 59:01
  to keep the commandments, then why would they ever given to the
• 59:04
  first place? So this all of Christendom
• 59:07
  Catholic all them view of this because Paul says openly the
• 59:11
  laws was only given to you to show you that you can't keep it.
• 59:16
  He called it a schoolmaster in Galatians 324.
• 59:21
  And it's to show you that you're a Sinner, to show you that you
• 59:24
  can't keep it, that you can't save yourself by the law.
• 59:27
  And that would then drive you into a.
• 59:29
  Relationship with Christ that you would accept Him as your
• 59:32
  Lord and Savior. So this is a very important
• 59:35
  thing in the Christian Bible. So it is true.
• 59:38
  You're right. You're picking out now you're
• 59:40
  getting really revolted by this, aren't you?
• 59:42
  It's like sickening. So this is the rabbit.
• 59:45
  So therefore Christians are stuck with the whole Christian
• 59:47
  Bible. So in Hohonami, if you only had
• 59:52
  if the Christian Bible only consists of Matthew 5, you would
• 59:56
  have a benign chapter, granted. And it's AQ source granted.
• 1:00:00
  And it's the least problematic source of all, however.
• 1:00:06
  In light of the entire Christian Bible which says openly you
• 1:00:09
  don't have, it's very important. I'm going to bring out a point
• 1:00:12
  that your viewers will really breathe.
• 1:00:14
  Some people try to explain that they don't know what they're
• 1:00:16
  talking about. They say, well what Paul was
• 1:00:18
  saying is that the non Jews only have to keep the seven Noahide
• 1:00:22
  laws and the seven Noahide laws are all logical laws and not
• 1:00:26
  ritual laws. This is completely not true.
• 1:00:29
  Paul openly says to fellow Jews that they don't have to keep the
• 1:00:32
  commandments. Romans Chapter 7 and Paul openly
• 1:00:36
  only says that the commandments he's talking about, ritual
• 1:00:39
  commandments, is only a shadow. Why do they use this term a
• 1:00:42
  shadow? Because a shadow is the only
• 1:00:45
  thing you can see, which is nothing.
• 1:00:48
  A shadow is nothing. And that's what you're seeing.
• 1:00:51
  You're seeing the lack of light. It really is nothing.
• 1:00:53
  So when he says the law is a shadow.
• 1:00:56
  But even though Fishitoso doesn't work out because if it's
• 1:00:59
  all to prepare the coming of Jesus and we have to be in the
• 1:01:02
  proper place to to receive him, so wouldn't that surely be a
• 1:01:06
  elevated state in order to receive?
• 1:01:09
  Jesus is. Too Jewish the province in
• 1:01:10
  Christian theology you will never be at the at the place to
• 1:01:13
  receive and Christian theology man is infected with the
• 1:01:17
  original. You just yourself, but you just.
• 1:01:19
  Said Christian Bible is not consistent, no.
• 1:01:22
  But once. I'm not asking me to defend
• 1:01:23
  Deuteronomy, no. Of course, but but so OK, so I
• 1:01:27
  just want to get this straight. So.
• 1:01:28
  So we're supposed to be in a certain place in order to
• 1:01:31
  receive Jesus and therefore worship.
• 1:01:33
  No, no, you can't be in a certain place, but.
• 1:01:35
  You can't be but the best. Thing you have to believe that
• 1:01:37
  he died. No.
• 1:01:38
  The laws, the shadows. So, yeah, I know, but they have,
• 1:01:41
  they have this stuck with the whole Christian Bible.
• 1:01:43
  So therefore they have to be interpret Matthew chapter 5 that
• 1:01:47
  they can't do that unless they throw away.
• 1:01:49
  There were groups like that. By the way, they were Ebenites.
• 1:01:54
  I apologize. I you know, they were groups
• 1:01:56
  like Ebenites and Nazarenes that said the Pope was the biggest
• 1:01:59
  liar in the world and I don't accept him.
• 1:02:01
  And you have to keep mitzvahs. There were such ancient groups
• 1:02:04
  whose writings don't survive and the Church fathers wrote about
• 1:02:06
  them. So they were, but they all
• 1:02:08
  crushed those all said heresies. No, but what then?
• 1:02:11
  I must have not understood. It's my fault.
• 1:02:13
  Something that you said. I would.
• 1:02:15
  Prefer one, It's your fault rather than mine.
• 1:02:17
  I also like that now. So if if we have a statement in
• 1:02:22
  Matthews that says that there's a sensitivity to keeping the
• 1:02:24
  law, then we have later a comment by by Paul.
• 1:02:28
  Earlier. Okay, I should have said it that
• 1:02:30
  way. We also have a comment by Paul
• 1:02:33
  where the law is not important. All over the place.
• 1:02:36
  OK, but your explanation. Has no intrinsic value.
• 1:02:39
  It's very important to all. To show you that you're a filthy
• 1:02:42
  dirty Sinner. One second that has there's no
• 1:02:44
  intrinsic value, but yet it's there to prepare you for the
• 1:02:47
  coming of Jesus. No, to show you that you're a
• 1:02:50
  Sinner, you would look in the mirror.
• 1:02:52
  Because I wouldn't be able to keep it.
• 1:02:53
  Yes, the law. Paul says it about himself in
• 1:02:57
  Romans 7. He says when he found out about
• 1:03:00
  the law, he said until he knew about the law, he didn't know
• 1:03:04
  that he was a Sinner. When he found out that look, he
• 1:03:06
  realized he was a Sinner. There's nothing to do to save
• 1:03:08
  himself. OK.
• 1:03:09
  So it's tough. It's tough.
• 1:03:11
  What I'm saying suddenly is their excellent exactly what he.
• 1:03:14
  Said no I know, I'm just trying to understand it.
• 1:03:16
  Yeah. So good luck to you.
• 1:03:17
  No, so, so there's so there's there's a law that we were
• 1:03:20
  given, but not to keep it just to try so that we would know
• 1:03:23
  that we can't keep it. So therefore we're sinners, and
• 1:03:25
  we. Need you Exactly, exactly.
• 1:03:28
  And you only say Christ crucified.
• 1:03:30
  That's it. There's.
• 1:03:31
  No. Salvation outside of the Cross.
• 1:03:33
  So why don't Why aren't Christians?
• 1:03:35
  Every Christian is watching me now.
• 1:03:37
  Every Christian watching the show right now is going, have I
• 1:03:40
  seen her saying it, the truth. If so, come and I want to see
• 1:03:43
  that. I really want to.
• 1:03:44
  Know that this is stand, that what I'm saying to you is not an
• 1:03:47
  outlier. This is standard across the
• 1:03:49
  board. So then what?
• 1:03:50
  Would happen I. Wrote that to throw up Paul.
• 1:03:52
  So then. What would happen if Paul met me
• 1:03:54
  and he saw, Oh my gosh, you are keeping all of these laws?
• 1:03:57
  What would happen? Does that mean I'm an Angel?
• 1:04:01
  No, no, Paul was a Joseph Smith character.
• 1:04:07
  He was not a nice guy. So you're attributing too much
• 1:04:10
  character to Paul. Paul was.
• 1:04:12
  Synchronizing middle Platonic thinking with with Judaism.
• 1:04:19
  And he wasn't really authentically trying to work
• 1:04:23
  this out. You're ascribing too much.
• 1:04:27
  You're being, yeah, you're getting it.
• 1:04:29
  Paul was not a good guy. You would not want to have
• 1:04:31
  dinner with him. You might want to have dinner
• 1:04:33
  with Luke and not Paul. Paul was really a very, very
• 1:04:36
  bitter. Person, how do I know to say
• 1:04:38
  that's a big thing to say. First of all, his letters really
• 1:04:41
  survive. Number 2 is in the Christian
• 1:04:43
  Bible. So I want to just say one thing
• 1:04:45
  is very important for the viewers to know and that is how
• 1:04:48
  can I say anything if I don't believe in the Christian Bible?
• 1:04:52
  How am I speaking out with such confidence?
• 1:04:54
  So there is one methodology that really is well, we could look at
• 1:05:02
  an ancient text and say this is historical and this is all.
• 1:05:06
  There are many names for this rigorous methodology, but there
• 1:05:10
  is a way. It's called the criteria of
• 1:05:13
  embarrassment. If we have an ancient text, I
• 1:05:16
  don't believe in the book, right?
• 1:05:17
  It's mostly, but there may be some things in it that actually
• 1:05:21
  are historical. Well, how do I today in good way
• 1:05:24
  say that this really actually is historical?
• 1:05:27
  So there is a method, this method you can take to the bank.
• 1:05:31
  If there's something in the text that is very embarrassing and
• 1:05:35
  there's no reason in the world they would put it in there.
• 1:05:38
  That almost certainly is historical and we know for sure
• 1:05:41
  because of late other books like second Peter is going to try to
• 1:05:45
  for and for, which means to work this all out.
• 1:05:48
  So Paul could not get along with anybody.
• 1:05:50
  He no, he couldn't get along with anybody.
• 1:05:52
  The very people he should have been very grateful to Barnabas
• 1:05:54
  introduced him to Jerusalem church.
• 1:05:57
  He couldn't stand them. They couldn't get along.
• 1:05:58
  But yet he was accepted. And yet, he said, though.
• 1:06:02
  So in the book of Acts, Paul is we're introduced to Paul 1/3
• 1:06:08
  into the book of Acts. And the whole book of Acts is
• 1:06:10
  the vote to show that Paul really was the he was the really
• 1:06:14
  the Russia Shiva. God forgive me for saying that,
• 1:06:17
  but he was the he really got it and everyone else was wrong.
• 1:06:21
  It's really the show that Paul was the hero and he got
• 1:06:23
  everything and everyone's on the same page, but Paul is the
• 1:06:26
  giant. He's the leader of the church.
• 1:06:28
  He he, he knew all of it. So.
• 1:06:33
  But we told that I, I, I got oh, so Paul couldn't get wouldn't
• 1:06:38
  travel with Mark, the famous Mark.
• 1:06:40
  He wouldn't. They were cousins by the way.
• 1:06:42
  He wouldn't travel them. Peter were told in Galatians 2.
• 1:06:46
  He got into a whole fight with him in Antioch in Syria and he
• 1:06:49
  told Peter to his faith that he's the biggest hypocrite in
• 1:06:52
  the world. Now, what are the chances that
• 1:06:55
  somebody made-up that story? The answer is virtual zero.
• 1:06:59
  Why? Because it's very embarrassing.
• 1:07:01
  It's in there, right? That means all we find when
• 1:07:05
  we're dealing with pool is he could get along with anybody
• 1:07:08
  who's. I mean, you must have met people
• 1:07:10
  who are just very disagreeable and it may be a family member or
• 1:07:15
  someone and they walk into the room and they suck the oxygen
• 1:07:18
  out of the room because he can't talk to this person that was
• 1:07:21
  Paul. Paul could not get along with
• 1:07:22
  people. He was a highly material person.
• 1:07:25
  I mean, very temperamental person who people couldn't get
• 1:07:28
  along with him. And he was a person that was
• 1:07:30
  disagreeable. And it's my way the highway.
• 1:07:33
  And he said, openly said what I have is directly from Jesus
• 1:07:37
  Christ and what they have in the Jerusalem church.
• 1:07:41
  I don't get anything from them. I get it directly from them.
• 1:07:44
  So he's putting everyone down. I'm a Pharisee, Pharisees, and
• 1:07:47
  he's running around screaming. I'm not a liar.
• 1:07:49
  I'm not a liar, I'm not a liar. Why is the guy screaming?
• 1:07:52
  I'm not a liar so much because everyone's accusing of being a
• 1:07:54
  liar. This is not the guy you want to
• 1:07:56
  have dinner with. He is the author, by the way,
• 1:07:58
  according to the Christian Bible, he, excuse me, according
• 1:08:02
  to the to the church, he is the author of 14 books out of 20,
• 1:08:08
  seven books in the Christian Bible.
• 1:08:10
  And how important this figure is.
• 1:08:11
  And then we have the book of Acts, which he didn't write, but
• 1:08:14
  it's dedicated to him. And we have second Peter
• 1:08:16
  dedicated to him. So the Christian Bible is, is
• 1:08:19
  Paul. Paul.
• 1:08:20
  Without Paul, there'd be no Christianity.
• 1:08:22
  So, so we have, we have seeming, I would say it like this, we
• 1:08:28
  have seeming contradictions between numerous chapters and
• 1:08:32
  Mark and Matthews and John in terms of the level of
• 1:08:35
  religiosity associated with, with performing acts or
• 1:08:41
  mitzvahs. And then we have Paul that
• 1:08:43
  completely disrupts all of that. Therefore, if not for Paul, if
• 1:08:47
  Jesus was around and saw that his followers were putting on
• 1:08:50
  tefillin, he'd be like, what's wrong with you?
• 1:08:52
  We should be putting on tefillin.
• 1:08:53
  That'd be the best thing to do. And Paul would be like, no,
• 1:08:56
  Jesus. Actually, what you told me
• 1:08:58
  before is is that film really doesn't matter at all.
• 1:09:01
  You get that right? Except that they're not
• 1:09:03
  contemporaries. When Paul when Jesus around
• 1:09:06
  before he's dead. Until Paul didn't believe in
• 1:09:10
  Christianity, he claims he persecuted Christians given his
• 1:09:14
  personality. Maybe he did.
• 1:09:16
  Because he was such a lunatic who'd go around persecuting
• 1:09:19
  Christians have a crazy people. So he claims that.
• 1:09:22
  I think he's exaggerated to show that he was a real hostile
• 1:09:24
  witness. So it's not correct.
• 1:09:26
  That means Paul when Jesus was alive, let's say he was executed
• 1:09:31
  in the authority, Paul was not a Christian.
• 1:09:33
  Paul becomes a Christian a few years later, so they're not
• 1:09:36
  around the same time. Paul never met Jesus, period.
• 1:09:40
  OK. And he got this information from
• 1:09:42
  Jesus that we don't need to. Keep he didn't get his
• 1:09:43
  information from Jesus anything. What he did is he's conveying.
• 1:09:48
  What's called Middle Platonic thinking, dualistic thinking,
• 1:09:52
  Gnostic thinking. And I have to take one minute to
• 1:09:55
  explain this point, because without it you cannot.
• 1:09:58
  Understand, Paul, or any of this, None of this will make
• 1:10:00
  sense to you. So you have to understand how
• 1:10:02
  the ancient world viewed the world we occupy.
• 1:10:07
  I'm not going to ask you if modern medicine didn't exist, if
• 1:10:11
  you'd be alive today. Maybe, maybe not, I don't know.
• 1:10:15
  In the ancient world, people would death was ubiquitous.
• 1:10:19
  People got they didn't even know what they got married and three
• 1:10:22
  weeks later his wife, beautiful wife is dead.
• 1:10:25
  They didn't know what cancer was.
• 1:10:26
  They didn't know what infection like death was everywhere.
• 1:10:30
  I mean, penicillin was discovered by accident 1928 I
• 1:10:36
  first used in 1941. People were just the average
• 1:10:39
  expected lifespan in America in the 1900 was 42 years old.
• 1:10:43
  In the age world, people just dropped dead and they didn't
• 1:10:46
  know why. Death bodies were broken.
• 1:10:49
  People suffered miserably. Even those who survived suffered
• 1:10:53
  terrible. It was just terrible, like
• 1:10:55
  everything around you was broken.
• 1:10:57
  Conversely, one other point this is very important was you can't
• 1:11:01
  understand this period and you must enter into this ancient
• 1:11:04
  world, understand anything we've discussed tonight, and that is
• 1:11:07
  in the ancient world, people didn't have cell phones.
• 1:11:10
  It goes without saying. Well, people were very cognizant
• 1:11:13
  of the stars, the moons, the planetary system.
• 1:11:17
  There wasn't all this light pollution in Jerusalem, but we
• 1:11:19
  can't see anything because there's light all over.
• 1:11:22
  But in the ancient world, it was at night, it was dark, and if
• 1:11:25
  people viewed the constellations which moved with perfection,
• 1:11:29
  people can predict where this star would be on this time of
• 1:11:32
  the year. And with that star people
• 1:11:34
  understood it. What was very clear to them,
• 1:11:36
  this world was a sabra in the world.
• 1:11:39
  This world was a completely broken world created by a lower
• 1:11:43
  tier God called the demiurge. Paul will say in second
• 1:11:47
  Corinthians 4/4 that that Sutton himself is the Lord of this
• 1:11:52
  world. This is what I'm saying is like
• 1:11:54
  right in the that this world is a broken, broken place.
• 1:11:57
  And the idea is how to escape this broken world and to go into
• 1:12:01
  the spiritual world, which is perfect because the gods who
• 1:12:05
  created the stars and the moon, everything is perfect.
• 1:12:09
  Every star is exactly where it's supposed to be at a certain
• 1:12:11
  time. In the ancient world, this was
• 1:12:13
  the big deal. That's why no one before, no one
• 1:12:18
  ever believed the resurrection of the dead ever, besides the
• 1:12:22
  Jews, because to them we were insane.
• 1:12:24
  You know, the Jews were respected by the ancient world,
• 1:12:27
  generally speaking, in the Greco Roman world, they admired the
• 1:12:30
  Jews for a number of reasons. But the one thing Cicero talks
• 1:12:34
  about this the Jews were crazy. Well, two things, but the big
• 1:12:39
  one is why would you ever want to resurrect to your broken
• 1:12:42
  body? That doesn't make sense why the
• 1:12:46
  people would just think soon I'm going to be finished with this
• 1:12:49
  body. I mean this is how the.
• 1:12:51
  Philosophist thought this body is corrupt, it's filthy, it's
• 1:12:54
  dirty. So they've look, that's really
• 1:12:56
  the world that Paul is operating.
• 1:12:58
  In. And that is all these kinds of
• 1:13:01
  you can Shabbos. This is all of this world.
• 1:13:04
  We're really everything is about a spiritual world and that's
• 1:13:08
  Jesus came here and if you believe in him, you then go into
• 1:13:11
  the supernatural world. This is the Neoplatonic
• 1:13:15
  thinking. The world was highly dualistic
• 1:13:18
  and therefore Paul would extol the virtues of celibacy as an
• 1:13:23
  example. That means the seller.
• 1:13:26
  It's true. If you want to have children it,
• 1:13:28
  Paul says openly in First Corinthians 7/7.
• 1:13:31
  He says, look, if you can't control yourself, ideally be
• 1:13:35
  like me, be celibate, but at virgins, he says if you've never
• 1:13:41
  been, whatever, it's best to be like me.
• 1:13:43
  But if you can't control your passions, his words, he said,
• 1:13:46
  then get married because it's better to be married than to
• 1:13:49
  burn mind blowing in Matthew 19, Jesus, we're told now this is
• 1:13:55
  late. He put in his mouth extols the
• 1:13:58
  virtues of celibacy and that's why the priests and the nuns,
• 1:14:02
  you know, putatively are, you know, like this is a high level
• 1:14:06
  to a Jew. That's crazy.
• 1:14:07
  We have to we have right a in Aksuba, we have to promise our
• 1:14:11
  wise that we're not going to deny her any intimacy.
• 1:14:13
  So we're going are you insane? So in our world, in our world,
• 1:14:18
  the physical and the spiritual are intimately connected, but we
• 1:14:22
  bring an offering. We're taking a physical and
• 1:14:24
  we're raising it up to the spiritual that did not exist in
• 1:14:27
  the ancient world. So it is a take the thing that
• 1:14:31
  Paul is somehow infusing a misunderstanding of Judaism.
• 1:14:35
  Not at all. He is thoroughly Greek.
• 1:14:37
  Although he claims to be a Pharisee, he was not.
• 1:14:40
  He was highly trained in Greek philosophy and this is the way
• 1:14:44
  they thought, but he synchronized it with Judaism.
• 1:14:48
  Why would this work? So one other point for your
• 1:14:51
  viewers because or else you'll. Get nothing.
• 1:14:55
  In the ancient world, particularly in the 1st century,
• 1:14:57
  there was a tremendous amount of interest in conversion to
• 1:15:00
  Judaism. Judaism was very popular, like
• 1:15:02
  today. Today you can't get into
• 1:15:04
  conversion programs very hard. In the 1st century, monotheism
• 1:15:09
  only existed among Jews and was very attractive.
• 1:15:12
  So imagine for a moment if someone is considering
• 1:15:15
  converting to Judaism. You didn't have modern
• 1:15:17
  anti-Semitism. Anti-Semitism as we know it
• 1:15:20
  today is all Christian. So let's say someone is
• 1:15:23
  considering converting to Judaism.
• 1:15:26
  What might prevent them from going through with it?
• 1:15:30
  You know the answer to two things, circumcision and keeping
• 1:15:33
  ritual commandments. Shop is up on the Friday and I'm
• 1:15:36
  not going to movies. You know, I have to.
• 1:15:39
  I can't eat bread for seven days or whatever.
• 1:15:42
  That's too much. So that's example, Paul said.
• 1:15:45
  Paul said that, look, I can give you Judaism.
• 1:15:49
  That means you can be in in you could be the heirs to the
• 1:15:53
  blessings of the Jews for free for free and you get all the
• 1:15:57
  this is if I didn't explain this, your views be watching
• 1:16:01
  this conversation and going, I don't understand what's going on
• 1:16:04
  here. So there's something actually,
• 1:16:05
  there's a methodical thing going on here.
• 1:16:07
  Why did Christianity emerge as the largest religion in the
• 1:16:10
  world? 1/3 of the world believes in
• 1:16:12
  this stuff. Are they crazy?
• 1:16:14
  So the answer is that what Christianity offers is Judaism,
• 1:16:19
  which is held in high esteem. Even those who don't like us in
• 1:16:22
  the world say Judaism is something very respectful.
• 1:16:26
  The Jews are blind because they don't accept our prophet, but
• 1:16:29
  the Jews are once chosen. The the ancients knew that
• 1:16:33
  Alexander the Greek met Shimanat Sadiq, who was the last
• 1:16:36
  surviving member of the Anchicanes, Agadola, the Jews of
• 1:16:39
  the people of antiquity. But circumcision and the ancient
• 1:16:43
  world wasn't so simple. And I can't have the culture.
• 1:16:46
  What? Today you could go and get
• 1:16:48
  empire, whatever it is, you know, it wasn't so simple.
• 1:16:51
  They didn't have refrigeration. It wasn't so simple.
• 1:16:53
  Today they could shack, they could slaughter an animal in
• 1:16:55
  Idaho and they could ship it to New York.
• 1:16:58
  Then it was a little complicated.
• 1:16:59
  The point is, so you have to say what's happening here?
• 1:17:02
  First of all, the idea is to completely separate yourself
• 1:17:05
  from this world. That was the whole thinking.
• 1:17:08
  The idea of myths means you're into this world, separate
• 1:17:11
  yourself of this world and two is we're offering a Judaism
• 1:17:15
  without without having to keep the ritual commandments.
• 1:17:18
  And then where do I sign up? That's what really happened.
• 1:17:21
  We're. Going to pivot because I want to
• 1:17:22
  make sure that I have enough time for everything, but I'm
• 1:17:24
  just going to say one thing from your explanation that depresses
• 1:17:27
  me, but I'm going to tell you why.
• 1:17:29
  I mean, I'm sure it's correct. I don't doubt it, but it
• 1:17:31
  depressed me. I'll tell you why it depresses
• 1:17:32
  me. As a Jew, I think constantly
• 1:17:35
  about uplifting God's earth, that I'm here to make a positive
• 1:17:38
  difference. And just the, the, the way that
• 1:17:41
  you're explaining Paul's SEL of Judaism, it's, it's a very
• 1:17:48
  depressing religion. It's a religion that's not based
• 1:17:50
  off striving to be a hero or greatness.
• 1:17:53
  If you didn't say that, you would need a psychiatrist.
• 1:17:55
  Yeah. That's that means that you are
• 1:17:57
  spiritually very, very healthy. That means you're very serious.
• 1:18:00
  Because if I was in a room, what's?
• 1:18:03
  Religion. Other.
• 1:18:04
  Than that it's all about connecting to God, but in
• 1:18:06
  Christianity so. The Father God, the creator,
• 1:18:11
  he's up there running the planets.
• 1:18:13
  And incidentally, it's not just it's in the Greco Roman world
• 1:18:17
  in, in, in the in the world of Alexander Grey, Zeus was the
• 1:18:21
  great God who was running the planets.
• 1:18:23
  People didn't pray to Zeus. Zeus was inaccessible in the in
• 1:18:27
  the Roman Empire. Jupiter, no one dive into
• 1:18:30
  Jupiter. Jupiter was running the planet
• 1:18:32
  in no time for you. You pray to a local lower tier
• 1:18:35
  God. This is called a hanotheism.
• 1:18:38
  So understand that in the ancient world you earn nothing,
• 1:18:41
  you're garbage people. The world didn't make sense.
• 1:18:46
  The great gods are way out there and therefore you need an
• 1:18:50
  intermediary which comes very close to what the Now we didn't
• 1:18:53
  say what the Rambam was talking about and how Avoi desert see no
• 1:18:57
  one I'm going to say this, but people unless you start
• 1:19:02
  Christianity and understand how what's in Avoi desert which the
• 1:19:05
  Rambam held because he understood the philosophy better
• 1:19:09
  than other of his contemporaries.
• 1:19:11
  He understood what it was He got it.
• 1:19:14
  The Rambam had a clarity of mind what we say from Moses to Moses.
• 1:19:19
  There was no one that could we often think about what from from
• 1:19:22
  Moshe Rabenu to to the Rambam. There was no one like them in
• 1:19:27
  between. He really is correct.
• 1:19:29
  He and I could say that from my perspective as being exposed to
• 1:19:32
  he really understood all of this stuff.
• 1:19:35
  He got it completely. He understood philosophical
• 1:19:38
  reflection and they'll say, look what here's the real deal that's
• 1:19:41
  going on. You're right.
• 1:19:42
  It should bother you if and and every Jew who's watching this
• 1:19:47
  show right now is going I can't believe this, but just
• 1:19:50
  understand that what I'm sharing with you is mainstream.
• 1:19:54
  This is clear. This is all over.
• 1:19:57
  And that's why celibacy is extolled.
• 1:19:59
  Separate yourself. In fact, the Church Fathers
• 1:20:02
  taught that. You if you married, so if you're
• 1:20:05
  going to have children, sleep either way, but if you.
• 1:20:08
  Let's say she's pregnant. Augustine taught that you should
• 1:20:11
  sleep in separate rooms and sleep together.
• 1:20:13
  I mean, it's a it's a necessity. They the the Orthodox Church
• 1:20:17
  teaches that even though Mary was conceived through natural
• 1:20:22
  means, right. But nevertheless, they had no
• 1:20:25
  pleasure in that relationship. Pleasure is disgusting.
• 1:20:28
  It's of this world. This is the way he thought.
• 1:20:30
  If you know it's sickened by this, there's something wrong
• 1:20:33
  with you. Judaism is adorable.
• 1:20:35
  Shabbos is the opposite Shabbos. We take the little wine and the
• 1:20:40
  little color and we raise it up to God.
• 1:20:42
  We make the miracle on it and we take the physical raise of the
• 1:20:45
  spiritual. Christianity is the exact
• 1:20:47
  opposite. And that's why I want to convey
• 1:20:49
  to you that it's not Christianity and Judaism, but
• 1:20:51
  not too religious. We, we disagree about the
• 1:20:53
  Messiah. That's not the case.
• 1:20:56
  It's really the it's ace of an Yaakov.
• 1:20:58
  It's two polar opposite views of the world.
• 1:21:01
  Christianity is man's effort to create God in his image.
• 1:21:05
  Judaism, conversely, is God's successful endeavor in creating
• 1:21:09
  man in his image. That's really what's going on.
• 1:21:12
  So I'm happy we sort of tease this out together because we
• 1:21:16
  would have never gotten to this place.
• 1:21:17
  We understand what's really going on, on the atomic level.
• 1:21:22
  Interesting. Yeah.
• 1:21:23
  Yeah, I get what you're saying, you see.
• 1:21:25
  Yeah, and they've got this belt on, champ, this view which
• 1:21:29
  underlies everything, overrides your tedious looking at Matthew
• 1:21:34
  5. Rabbi, I'm missing the boat.
• 1:21:37
  Yeah. And then Jesus says that, you
• 1:21:38
  know, you pluck out that, you know, you can't see the thought
• 1:21:41
  in your own eye. You know, you, you you're being
• 1:21:44
  pedantic and picking in like the old Pharisees.
• 1:21:46
  But this is really, this is really what's going on.
• 1:21:52
  OK, OK, I just, I, I wish it wasn't so depressing, really.
• 1:21:58
  The Sermon on the Mount almost gave me a little bit of hope.
• 1:22:00
  Like, wow, maybe there's at least there's, there's, there's
• 1:22:03
  some positivity we're able to give over to another religion,
• 1:22:06
  you know, some sensitivity of there is a law and, and, and and
• 1:22:10
  meaning behind the law. But let's move on.
• 1:22:13
  You're living in a time that there are some nice Christians
• 1:22:16
  surround, but you have to understand this is just a blink
• 1:22:20
  of an eye. Christendom was our arch enemy.
• 1:22:23
  So. So here's 2000 years.
• 1:22:25
  So here's what's interesting. Yeah.
• 1:22:27
  So, you know, I had a job once years ago, like a summer
• 1:22:33
  internship that I was doing. And it was from now on that I
• 1:22:36
  started Robonis. But interesting enough, my boss
• 1:22:39
  so apologized to me. I remember saying I'm really
• 1:22:43
  sorry about the Crusades. And so I look back at my boss
• 1:22:49
  and I said I don't have the ability to forgive your people.
• 1:22:52
  That's it. Doesn't lie with me.
• 1:22:54
  But ever since then, I remember I was, I think I was 18 at the
• 1:22:57
  time, maybe 19. I was like Christianity puts
• 1:23:02
  forward that it's the, the religion of, of peace and
• 1:23:05
  acceptance. And I can't think of many other
• 1:23:11
  violent aggressive religions of, of, of murder and, and theft and
• 1:23:16
  excuse my language, but rape and kidnapping.
• 1:23:19
  And how do you, I mean, how, how do you, how do you understand
• 1:23:23
  that? And what do you think?
• 1:23:24
  What do you think Jesus would say?
• 1:23:27
  Well, you're asking me a. Question I When I answer
• 1:23:30
  questions, I viewers are watching me and they're saying,
• 1:23:34
  Rabbi, I need the truth. And so I have to be very
• 1:23:37
  careful. That if I don't have anything he
• 1:23:40
  wrote that survives, I'm not going to pretend as though I
• 1:23:44
  have access to literature. No, I'm not saying that.
• 1:23:46
  No, you're not. I don't think you have access to
• 1:23:48
  literature that we don't. But you have all this experience
• 1:23:50
  that. We right, right, right.
• 1:23:51
  So the the Christian worldview, the Jew, this is sort of taking
• 1:23:56
  us back to a full circle. So the Christian world viewed
• 1:23:59
  the Jew as. The enemy of civilization of
• 1:24:04
  mankind when the Council of Nicaea was which saw the
• 1:24:09
  doctrine treaty meaning it made it orthodoxy in the Church at
• 1:24:12
  325. The immediate response of the
• 1:24:15
  Church in 326 is every Jew is. Expelled from your Schleim.
• 1:24:19
  We could not have this conversation.
• 1:24:21
  We'd be thrown out of Jerusalem and it would stay that way for
• 1:24:24
  35 years until Julian, an emperor who rejected
• 1:24:27
  Christianity, hence he's called the apostate.
• 1:24:30
  He says. I don't.
• 1:24:31
  Believe in Christianity. You just go back to Jerusalem.
• 1:24:33
  Unfortunately, he only reigned for 19 months.
• 1:24:36
  And then look at Napoleon. During his reign, the Jews had
• 1:24:41
  freedom, right? Had freedom.
• 1:24:43
  What happened to what happened? So the Jews were free.
• 1:24:45
  He said go, make a son hedge and go.
• 1:24:48
  Do what you want. Go, Jews experience complete
• 1:24:52
  freedom of religion, right? What happens in 1815 when he's
• 1:24:57
  defeated? What did Pope Pius the 7th God
• 1:25:00
  help us from post with the name Pius?
• 1:25:02
  What does Pope Pius the 7th do? Immediately get back into the
• 1:25:06
  ghetto. You're done.
• 1:25:07
  Go back into that low, low state.
• 1:25:10
  It's unbelievable. So this is the history of the
• 1:25:13
  church that the now the church has to struggle with that the
• 1:25:17
  Jews should return to air to show an ace of smells.
• 1:25:21
  Eddom smells the church smells that it's last breaths are here.
• 1:25:26
  That we're living in a messianic.
• 1:25:29
  Period. An epic of time.
• 1:25:31
  And therefore this is Oh yes, Oh yes, Oh yeah, we're here.
• 1:25:35
  That means I don't believe Mashiach is coming.
• 1:25:37
  I believe we're in it now to transpose that if we can go to
• 1:25:43
  the exodus as an example, we would.
• 1:25:47
  I'm not saying I'll just say borrowed hail 7, right?
• 1:25:51
  I'm not saying it like 7. I'm just making that up.
• 1:25:54
  We are in the midst of a process and it isn't an accident.
• 1:25:59
  The meal that we, which is filled with more of mitzvos and
• 1:26:04
  so on than any other, is called a.
• 1:26:07
  I wouldn't have called it that name, but it's called a seder,
• 1:26:10
  which means an order of events. That means there's an order of
• 1:26:13
  events in Tanak. Then you have Michek.
• 1:26:15
  When you said moments, It's all very famous stuff and I have no
• 1:26:19
  question. That was October 7th.
• 1:26:20
  The Gwar Megillah openly says that no hemis Gogo Mogo begins
• 1:26:24
  on circus. For that reason we read Ezeal 38
• 1:26:27
  and 39, Ralph Laman. I'm not, I'm not saying it
• 1:26:29
  because I'm some optimist. The reason why I ref Kamnevsky,
• 1:26:32
  they all understand whether Zion's not Zion doesn't matter.
• 1:26:36
  Everyone on everyone who knows, knows that we are now in the
• 1:26:41
  process of the Gulu. It actually is Iran.
• 1:26:44
  What do we have to do with Iran? We have no land issue with them.
• 1:26:47
  They're not even Arabs. They're Persians.
• 1:26:49
  And right now, Mamish, right now, as you and I know, we could
• 1:26:53
  be going to war with Iran within hours, OK, within hours.
• 1:26:58
  Do you know that Persia is the nation that Ezekiel chapter 38
• 1:27:03
  says? Is it going to be the chief of
• 1:27:04
  the enemy of Israel? Now the reason why this so
• 1:27:07
  outrageous is that Persia throughout history was a benign
• 1:27:11
  empire which treated the Jews well compared to others.
• 1:27:16
  Cyrus said to the Jews go back the Bhavali, the Talmud Bhavali
• 1:27:21
  what's the shafts was written in the southern what's today modern
• 1:27:25
  day Iraq, which at the time, let's say it was done in the
• 1:27:29
  year 500 was in the Persian Empire, the Sasanian Empire life
• 1:27:32
  was good. The Persians was like ballpark
• 1:27:35
  do what you want. So for the for the sages to say
• 1:27:40
  Persia one day will not just be anonymous, but will be the head
• 1:27:44
  of the snake is mind blowing. We are living in the time of the
• 1:27:48
  messianic age now, meaning it's all of but why is it schlepping
• 1:27:52
  out? That means why is there a Seder?
• 1:27:54
  What do I need 15 parts of Seder because I shouldn't want people
• 1:27:57
  to do Chuva. Look at you yeshiva.
• 1:27:59
  I don't know you should. I haven't been there, but I'm
• 1:28:01
  sure you many of those people did not grow up religious right?
• 1:28:04
  And they became what's happening because they're seeing there's
• 1:28:07
  something going on. This country is going through a
• 1:28:09
  revolution today. That's mind blowing.
• 1:28:11
  This is what's happened. God is now using these phenomena
• 1:28:15
  which are undeniable and Jews are going OK, I, I, I, I have to
• 1:28:20
  reconsider my life as a, you know, going to reform temple and
• 1:28:25
  he I don't know if they get the reform, but just I have to take
• 1:28:28
  my religion more seriously. And you think that Christians
• 1:28:31
  are smelling that and therefore they're.
• 1:28:32
  Changing, they're going into the middle, falls out.
• 1:28:34
  And that's what Tanakh is about. It's interesting in that famous
• 1:28:37
  verse, I'll bless those who bless you, cross those across
• 1:28:39
  you. What about all the people in
• 1:28:40
  between? There won't be any more between.
• 1:28:42
  It's really quite elegant. Like if I, I don't know, we
• 1:28:45
  don't know each other, right? If I ask you what do you think
• 1:28:48
  of Koreans, I can say that you'll probably, I don't have a
• 1:28:51
  strong feeling they're all right.
• 1:28:52
  If I, I don't know you, but I would say, ask you what do you
• 1:28:55
  think of the Chinese? You'd say they're OK, right?
• 1:28:58
  You don't have a strong view, I'm presuming, like most of us.
• 1:29:01
  But you know and I know we walked on the streets of
• 1:29:03
  Antwerp, London and Manchester and asked me, what do you think
• 1:29:06
  of the Jews, Milan. People would either say I hate
• 1:29:10
  them or I love them. The only part of this experiment
• 1:29:16
  is thought experiment is that people have to tell the truth.
• 1:29:19
  No one would say I have no opinion of the Jews.
• 1:29:22
  Everyone has a very strong and that's what we're watching now
• 1:29:24
  is a complete polarization. The middle is falling out.
• 1:29:27
  You and I are observing an explosion of anti-Semitism,
• 1:29:32
  which in the mainstream, which we have never seen in my I'm
• 1:29:35
  older than you. I have never seen it in my life
• 1:29:38
  in the major. It was always a weirdo clan guy
• 1:29:40
  in the in, in the fringe, but not in mainstream.
• 1:29:43
  Tucker Carlson would even get out of the airport.
• 1:29:45
  I know it's unbelievable. So therefore, that's what's
• 1:29:48
  happening. This is the things in the ship.
• 1:29:49
  There's no in between now. Now is a time where either
• 1:29:53
  you're choosing to be with God or you're an enemy of God.
• 1:29:56
  Do you think that if Mark was around today, Mark OK his, from
• 1:30:02
  what you see from his from his writings, do you think that he'd
• 1:30:05
  be pleased with how the Christian role turned out?
• 1:30:10
  You really can't now. I don't know who Mark is.
• 1:30:13
  The writer of Mark is not Mark. OK, the writer of Mark.
• 1:30:17
  Whoever of Mark is, Mark is a high.
• 1:30:19
  Let me just tell you who he is and then you'll understand why I
• 1:30:23
  can't answer that. The author of Mark probably
• 1:30:25
  wrote the book in the year 75. He was a highly literate
• 1:30:29
  Christian who's copying from previous sources.
• 1:30:32
  That's all I know about. How could I possibly answer?
• 1:30:35
  He would be shattered. I'll tell you he we
• 1:30:38
  flabbergasted. The Jews returned back because
• 1:30:41
  of Mark 13. So Mark 13, the author of Mark
• 1:30:45
  is writing after the fact. He's writing after destruction
• 1:30:48
  second level, but he has Jesus saying that the temple is going
• 1:30:51
  to be destroyed. OK, That's how we know that it's
• 1:30:54
  written after like Hebrews written before says no mental
• 1:30:57
  destruction temple. So the let's just be as
• 1:31:01
  charitable as possible. Let's steel man the case.
• 1:31:04
  Okay, so we're going to say whoever ruled Mark was
• 1:31:06
  definitely a highly literate Christian who lived at the end
• 1:31:10
  of the 1st century. Let's just steel man this so
• 1:31:14
  that the Jews have returned back to the land of Israel and fully
• 1:31:18
  an autonomous country, which means in the in, in the time of,
• 1:31:23
  let's say in the beginning of the 1st century, Israel was a
• 1:31:26
  vassal state under the Roman Empire.
• 1:31:28
  It's only less than a century that we were somewhat
• 1:31:31
  independent. In the Maccabean period, the
• 1:31:33
  whole Second Temple, we were a vassal state.
• 1:31:36
  So he would go, oh, this is all a lie because the Jews have
• 1:31:39
  returned. That's what's really bothering
• 1:31:40
  them. If the Jews return, then this is
• 1:31:44
  a problem because in the Christian Bible God is done with
• 1:31:47
  the Jews. Is there anything in the New
• 1:31:50
  Testament that you feel that they got right?
• 1:31:57
  Could you just you? Want me to change the question?
• 1:32:03
  No, I want you just to to to refine the question.
• 1:32:07
  Yes, yes. I mean, when Paul says so in the
• 1:32:12
  book of Romans, Paul has to be least aggressive towards Jews
• 1:32:19
  because he's writing to a church he's never been to.
• 1:32:21
  He doesn't know what they are. The Jews are reading it.
• 1:32:23
  So you know, Paul says, look, the, the, the Jews, it is, it is
• 1:32:29
  wonderful to be a Jew and, and, and that they're circumcised and
• 1:32:35
  they after all, did give us the oracles of God.
• 1:32:38
  It came to the Jews. So that's Romans chapter 3,
• 1:32:42
  three verse one and two. Also you have Matthew 23, one
• 1:32:46
  and two. They the the rabbi's the term is
• 1:32:50
  the Pharisees describes, which is the same thing.
• 1:32:53
  Orthodox Jews. The Orthodox Jews sit in the
• 1:32:57
  seat of Moses. And therefore, whatever they
• 1:33:00
  teach you, you must follow. So that's nice.
• 1:33:05
  The only problem is you're smiling going what's going on
• 1:33:07
  there? How did he say that?
• 1:33:09
  So if you every Christian watching us now on YouTube is
• 1:33:12
  going Rabbi, why don't you tell what it says after?
• 1:33:16
  So it continues. It goes into craziness.
• 1:33:20
  Do as they say, but don't do as they do.
• 1:33:22
  So the author of the Christian Bible viewed Jesus a Pharisee,
• 1:33:26
  therefore believing in written Torah and oral Torah.
• 1:33:29
  As far as the Christian Bible is concerned.
• 1:33:31
  What the Jews, Orthodox Jews teach the term.
• 1:33:33
  Orthodox Jew is a modern term, but it's fine.
• 1:33:38
  It's the same as the Pharisees. Exact same thing.
• 1:33:40
  I mean, Jews believe written in oral Torah.
• 1:33:42
  So as far as New Testament goes, the written orator is from God
• 1:33:46
  and the Pharisees are transmitted correctly and
• 1:33:48
  whatever they're telling you is from God.
• 1:33:50
  However, do as they say, but don't do as they do because
• 1:33:54
  they're hypocrites and Vipers and they're disgusting and they
• 1:33:58
  they outwardly show look how big my phone are and they pray in
• 1:34:01
  public. Look at me, I pray to God.
• 1:34:04
  And they killed every innocent person in history that upon them
• 1:34:08
  in verse 35 of the same chapter 2, but not univocal.
• 1:34:11
  Matthew 2330, the Jews are responsible for all the innocent
• 1:34:15
  bloodshed from Abel. We're responsible for Abel until
• 1:34:20
  Zechariah. And as a mistake, they said the
• 1:34:23
  son of Barrahiah, it's really the wrong Zechariah.
• 1:34:26
  There's many Zechariah and Tanakh that Zechariah wrote the
• 1:34:29
  book of Zechariah. But there's this is Haya Ben
• 1:34:32
  Yahyada who's actually killed on Yun Kippur.
• 1:34:34
  So Matthew messed it up. Luke cleans it up in 1151.
• 1:34:38
  So the whole chapter is viciously anti-Semitic, but it
• 1:34:42
  does begin by creating a separation.
• 1:34:45
  What they're saying the content of their information is from
• 1:34:49
  God. However, they're not just
• 1:34:51
  they're not blind. Blind are the Africans.
• 1:34:54
  They don't know anything. They malicious, they're
• 1:34:57
  hypocrites, they're Vipers. They outwardly try to show the
• 1:35:01
  Jewish but inwardly they're completely corrupt and I'm not
• 1:35:05
  going to make my second coming unless the Jews say blessed he
• 1:35:07
  that comes in the name of Lord verse 39.
• 1:35:09
  That's how it ends. So it's a horrible chapter, but
• 1:35:12
  it begins with those two verses. A person who looks at the
• 1:35:16
  Christian Bible. Now you have to study it.
• 1:35:20
  Of course, first of all, you don't have to study it.
• 1:35:25
  It's it's a work of avoid desire, but you can't understand
• 1:35:29
  unless you get what the whole deals going on.
• 1:35:32
  It's really a very, very ugly work, but it's attractive.
• 1:35:36
  You have to send the attraction. The attraction is it affirms
• 1:35:40
  your worst character quality. And that is it affirms that
• 1:35:43
  you're a loser, you're a Sinner and there's nothing you can do
• 1:35:46
  to save yourself and you're nothing.
• 1:35:48
  You're Nidrick and therefore, ah, he came who's perfect and he
• 1:35:53
  died for you. If you just believe in him,
• 1:35:55
  you're saying bingo. So that's the whole thing.
• 1:35:58
  But the key is it it feed it. What fuels it is low self
• 1:36:03
  esteem, which you know and I know is the worst.
• 1:36:08
  Thing the worst thing, everybody.
• 1:36:09
  Twisty wrote all his books is basically he wants everything is
• 1:36:13
  based on that. Everybody understands that low
• 1:36:17
  self esteem feeling that you're low and filthy and dirty is the
• 1:36:22
  that's why people marry the wrong person.
• 1:36:24
  All the bad decision life. So Christianity affirms it and
• 1:36:27
  says you are low and that's why it's attractive.
• 1:36:30
  Judaism says seek the Lord when you find calling.
• 1:36:32
  There, there. Ah, and the Sinner to the
• 1:36:36
  Haftorah on the first days. If the Sinner repents, I'll
• 1:36:39
  forgive them. How would you forgive me?
• 1:36:41
  You'd never believe me. I'm a lowlife.
• 1:36:42
  No, my ways are higher than your ways.
• 1:36:44
  It's. Really, The prophet said, stop
• 1:36:46
  thinking. The prophets fought this tooth
• 1:36:48
  and nail, Jeremiah fought this, Isaiah fought this.
• 1:36:50
  Stop thinking these stupid thoughts.
• 1:36:51
  This is what the main thing is. You can do it.
• 1:36:53
  You can make it, and God would forgive you.
• 1:36:56
  Wow. Must two questions.
• 1:36:58
  Number one, what about the chapters that that discussed
• 1:37:02
  being, you know, kind to the poor and the downtrodden or in
• 1:37:05
  Luke where we we see the depiction of Jesus going up to
• 1:37:08
  to to the temple during the High holidays.
• 1:37:10
  Is there anything that that you think that you're happy to see
• 1:37:14
  within these writings? No, because what it's doing in
• 1:37:17
  every one of those stories is look at how Jesus acted in
• 1:37:21
  contrast to the Jews. So I mean, you have to look at
• 1:37:24
  the whole story. The whole story is Jesus goes
• 1:37:26
  into the temple and there are money changers there who we are.
• 1:37:31
  The story somehow conveys is that something wrong with that
• 1:37:34
  really isn't because they couldn't use the coinage of the
• 1:37:37
  empire which had to fight the idols on it, right?
• 1:37:39
  But it's presented as the whole thing is a whole corruption and
• 1:37:43
  he go, so therefore Jesus doing all these wonderful things.
• 1:37:47
  But it's contrasted in every story, in every one of these
• 1:37:50
  stories against the the Jews who are just enemies of God, who are
• 1:37:55
  totally corrupt and totally hypocrites, even though they
• 1:37:58
  know the truth. And that's the key of the Jews
• 1:38:00
  of the devil. The Jews deep down believe in
• 1:38:02
  Jesus, but reject them anyway. So that's why it's not moving
• 1:38:06
  because it's always contrasting. Look how nice the nice Roman
• 1:38:10
  Catholic is who's so sweet compared to the Jew.
• 1:38:15
  So it's all dripping in anti-Semitism.
• 1:38:18
  Leave us something to walk away with.
• 1:38:19
  What's what's the message you want to give Charles Sinners?
• 1:38:22
  The yeshiva world has to go back to the Novi.
• 1:38:25
  This is a mistake we made. I I we were given a gift.
• 1:38:30
  A man who was born in Portugal in 1437 and he passed away in
• 1:38:34
  Italy in 15 O 8. His name was the Barbonelle, one
• 1:38:38
  of the greatest minds that ever lived.
• 1:38:40
  And he wrote a commentary on the Nuvium and made what to me seems
• 1:38:45
  impossible, possible means I don't know how anyone understood
• 1:38:49
  nothing before him. I say return.
• 1:38:53
  We're in the der Hagula. We're in the the, the generation
• 1:38:57
  of the redemption. It's very important now to look
• 1:39:00
  at these sacred oracles. After all, we're the generation
• 1:39:04
  that the round Mama said would understand what these verses
• 1:39:06
  mean. That's because I'll always said
• 1:39:09
  the generation who see the only, they'll really understand it.
• 1:39:13
  So here we are. I say let's welcome Mashiach
• 1:39:16
  together. Let's look at the holy taxi,
• 1:39:18
  sacred oracles and welcome Mashiach and live in a time when
• 1:39:22
  Saifani, who live down the street from here, said that all
• 1:39:26
  the national speak with suffer Brewer and a pure species going
• 1:39:29
  to see it quickly in our time. I mean nervous singer, thank you
• 1:39:32
  so much. That was great.
• 1:39:34
  See everyone? That's alright.
