Interesting that the Christian "holy spirit" has lead up to a billion people into as many as 30000 different denominations, each with their own distinct theology. Everyone who has joined a christian denomination makes the claim that they were being led by the holy spirit.... yet all the denominations believe different things from one another.

Rabbi...Just met and my soul is shaken to the core...I bought my Tanakh today 10.31.22...I just gathering information, before I dive...May God Bless you...thank you for getting me to the truth.

Such a blessing, these excellent and illuminating videos! Thank you Rabbi and keep them coming!!

As a Muslim, Rabbi Tovia's lectures on these matters give me a really good appreciation and respect for the Jewish faith. This is the true essence of the TaNakh / Torah. Masha-Allah, my Jewish cousins, we really need to come together and appreciate each other's faith. We have far more in common than we do differences. Both of us Muslims and Jews must strive to teach the world about the One and Only True God, Allah / Hashem. Many throughout the world have been mislead by idolatry. I have always had great respect for the little that I have learned about the Torah. The revelation of the TaNakh is indeed a mercy given to the Jewish people. This in turn was the first universal moral guide to humanity.

Thank you so much Rabbi Tovia for helping me understand about Jesus and the holy sprit. I was raised Christian and now I'm leading the truth. I love you so much for your help.

Thank you Rabbi Singer for bringing clarity to OT scripture for Christianity.

I have read on the psalms King David asking HaShem not to take His Holy spirit from him. I believe it guides us, protect us and strengthen us. Thanks Rabbi Singer for your teachings.

It's hard to worship a human who got miracles by god if he have miracles by god that mean we should worship god not prophet of god doesn't Matter if he was Moses or Jesus doesn't matter god is one nobody created him he is the lord of worlds : )

When I hear a rabbi speak at any given moment. I can feel the divine presence. I know in my heart that I should listen and learn , which indeed I do. But when it comes to the practical application, I begin to get confused and feel lost. I know it’s impossible for all Muslims/Christians & all religious to be one religion, at least not right now. I’ve always try to understand why things were made to be this way, I always told myself , this is one way we can come to understand “how to come together “ and how to respect one another . Then there are times I think “ am I r eally living from free will of my own” I once heard another rabbi say “ Your responsible for your intentions but not the results of the intentions. So today I decide to convert to Judaism that’s the intent but whether it be or not , is up to Hashem only. At least according to that Rabbi which I respect dearly.

Wow. So knowledgeable and respectful. Much appreciated.

Love Tovia

Rabbi, you said the Shema and that is the answer. One, He is ONE.

Im 28 and was Muslim my whole life until last year. Now i follow B'nai Noach. Im my opinion Islam was man made, Muhammad was a false prophet a politician. Islam is just like Christianity. They say it's monotheism BUT Muslims worship Muhammad. The Quran is riddled with "obey Allah AND Obey the messanger. "And" as we know it's a conjunction. It is a partnership. Even the fake shahada has people coming into monotheism and in the same breath into polytheism by saying "and" Muhammad is the messanger. Two of the major world Abrahamic religions require belief and adherence in a man. Christianity and Islam. Their monotheism has been compromised. The Quran even tells us god used a human womb to create yeshua. God partnering with a human, like a greek Demigod. No coincidence these greek ideas show up after Roman conquest. The Quran even has yeshua as Moses and Aaron's nephew. Wrong timeline COMPLETELY! Judaism is the TRUTH

Understanding the nature of God requires time, patience and wisdom proper guidance etc

Wonderful teachings!! Thank you so much dear rabbi!!

Rabbi, why did the words thank you Jesus come out of my mouth three times as I listened to them coming out of my mouth? I felt such a sense of relief as if I was in prison inside of my flash. I was a new Christian and had not gone to church more than two times in my life. I had the burning in the breast the spirit coming in like a wind and tongues but I have never met anybody else who has had this happen.

They ask you concerning the Spirit. Say: "The Spirit is from a command of my Lord, and the knowledge you were given was but very little." (Quran 17:85)

As a Christian, trying to learn more about GOD and understand my religion, I came to learn that the word "Person" seems to come from the word "PERSONA" in Latin which was use to for the masks that actors used in theater back in those day. With that information I concluded that the Trinity was not that complicated after all, we couldn't understand it if we THINK about the word as it is used today. Thinking of the word as a theater mask I conclude that the Three persons of the Trinity were the same God with a different manifestation the same way than an actor presents it self with a different emotion in a play... GOD is presenting to us humans sometimes as the father, the son and the holy spirit. Obviously what makes this theory complicated after learning more is that, the manifestation theory was done very early and debunked by the words written in the Christian Bible, where Jesus says He is the Son but the Father is greater than him. For the Trinity not to contradict Isaiah Jesus had to be Just like the Father. He cannot even be the WORD because when you Speak You are first and the Words comes after. So he would be after... Im so confused :(. And then I asked my self if the Trinity is True: Who took Israel out of Egypt was it the Father? The Son or the Holy Spirit? My teachers told me that the Holy Spirit guided them, the pilar of Fire was the Holy Spirit... But the NT says in some manuscript that Jesus took Israel about Egypt. When I read in the OT that Israel started worship an golden bull and saying that it tooks us out of Egypt and God got mad... I was like "they are so stupid" I mean didn't they saw all that God has done for them how can they say that? I always tried to look at my heart and be careful not to do this because I know I can be just as stupid as we are just mere human so easily deceived, but I HAD no Idea that I got myself into an religion again full of idols, am I? how can I have done this? Am I just and idolater, well I can say that God is so merciful? but how can I be sure I am not making another mistake? how can I be sure that Jesus is not God, this is not easy! This is a big rant here.... but I wont delete this....

Amen. This is so true. Nowhere in the new testament does it say that holy spirit is a person and somehow individual.

The fact that the Holy Spirit of God is mentioned in Psalms and no Prophet ever mentioned a separate Godhead in Tenakh already defeats any trinity argument in the “New Testament”.

Great Ribbi im Happy for you lecture :)

3:32 I think here is a clash between Islam and Judaism. For Islam teaches that some humans don't want to believe in God but rest of the entire creation keeps praising God. All the birds praise their Lord and even Trees worship God and everything has been created for a purpose and they are aware of their purpose and they are all obedient to their Lord except for Humans and Jinns.

Excellent dear Rabbi Singer, excellent!! B"H

The Hebrew word for Holy Spirit is "Ru'ach" and means "wind, breath, breazy part, active force or anything pertaining to active force". So when God's spirit moved "to and fro over the surface of the waters", it was his active force (or his creative will) that moved to and fro over the surface of the waters.

Wow that was so lovely thank you brothers from Almighty.

I was raised and attended a Trinitarian church for 40+ years. Through many hours of study and prayer, I agree with most of what you have said. The early church did not elevate Jesus to a status being equal to the Father. Nor is the Holy Spirit a separate being. Jesus said it of himself that the Father was greater than him. John 14:28

As a Jew, if something takes over my body and I start speaking in tongues, I start to freak out. I wonder what is taking over me. It has never happened to me, yet. I wear Jewish necklaces everyday, close to my heart, Including jewelry that contains the Shema. Jesus is not HaShem!

Rabbi, I am a non trinitarian Christian who believes in only one Everlasting God who is spirit that cannot die. The way I understand creation is Almighty God breathed his life giving spirit into the dust he had formed and the dust became alive - dust + spirit from God = soul. The Holy Spirit is different from God’s life-giving spirit. Why do I believe this? Several years ago a young whom I had financially help was in need of help again, but because she had spread malicious lies about me I was very conflicted about helping her again. All of sudden I heard a voice behind me say “FORGIVE”. The voice was so close it startled me that my first impulsive reaction was to turn to see who was standing behind me, but there was no one there, neither in the entire house but me. About a month later as I was reading Isaiah 30 upon reaching verse 21 which says: And thine ears shall hear a word ‘ behind’ thee say this is the way walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left (undecided). I was amazed.

The Holy spirit in Islam is another name for the Archangel Gabriel but not any part of God.

HaShem Echad and there's no other besides Him. Ein od! B"H

Thank you such amazing teaching.

Another thing that popped my eyes WIDE OPEN......first I'll say I grew up in a small town which was mostly catholic and we didn't go to any of those churches.......but my parents instead of public school they thought lesser of two evils they sent us to a Catholic school so I AM WELL VERSED IN CATHOLIC phrases .....I came across this quote from 1515 by Pope Leo the 10th.....he says this.....WHAT HAS THIS MYTH OF CHRIST BOUGHT US??? Right there and then MY RESIGNATION LETTER WAS SIGNED AND DATED. SICK OF LIES AND xianty being from Rome. No we NEVER worshiped Mary or anything we were excluded from that. HaShem gave me discernment as a child!!! Probably how I survived in a Catholic school!!

Beware of Greek scriptures bearing grifts😊 as a secular Jew, I appreciate Rabbi Tovia's explanation of the unitary nature of HaShem. As we, whether Ortodox, Reform or secular, say in the Shm'a 7:43 , " Shm'a Israel, Adoshem elokeinu, Adoshem ehad." Toda rabbah Rabbi.

the Holy Spirit is the Arcangel Gabriel and he's the closet Angel to Allah he's the most ranked of the Angels. in Islam the most known Angels are جبريل عليه السلام أو روح القدس - the Arc Angel Gabriel PBUH or the Holy spirit. and he's ths closest Angel to Allah and his Ambasador. he's the one who bring revelations to the prophets. only Prophet Moses peace be upon him who spoke to Allah directly. ملك الموت عليه السلام - Angel of Death PBUH. مالك عليه السلام - Maalik PBUH the Angel of Hell and he's the chief of Hell Angels. إسرافيل عليه السلام - Israfel PBUH the Angel who will blow on the trumpet to announce the Day of Resurrection.. ميكائيل عليه السلام - Mikail PBUH or Micheal as Christian and Jews call him.

Psalm 139 (relative to the Holy Spirit)7 Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence? 8 If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there. 9 If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea; 10 Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me As a born again Christian, when I came to God with a repentant heart believing that God has given us His uniquely begotten Son to be the propitiation for our sins, I was raised from the dead (spiritual separation from God) into a personal relationship with God. I now have God's personal presence dwelling within me by His Spirit. Romans 8 11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you. 12 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh. 13 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. 14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God (Also, Rom. 8:29, Colossians 1:18, Jeremiah 31:31-34,Ezekiel 36:24-28)

if i got this right. Holy spirit is hidayah or guidance of god. to acquire guidance of God we need open/spiritual heart. in short we seek guidance with open and sincere heart.

Rabbi, I could be misunderstanding, but for 2 reasons I wince when you say doggies aren't going to heaven because they don't have a soul. 1st is for emotional reasons, I love my doggy :) but the reason that matters is the 2nd reason - is because what you say contradicts what's in Torah. Genesis 1:30 "And to every beast of the earth, to every bird of the sky, and to everything that moves on the earth, within which there is a living soul, every green herb is for food" - English translation in Artscroll Stone Edition. So maybe I'm misunderstanding what you're saying. But it's pretty clear reading Torah, that beasts, birds, living creatures, all have a soul, not the same as humans of course (no self awareness, no free will, not in the image of Hashem) but some form of soul.

Hmm, not speaking on Christianity but speaking on what it means to be a follower of Jesus. Trinity, maybe someone made it up to better explain the process, I dunno. God is a spirit, so we must worship him in Spirit and in truth. Notice how people cannot just go to God and speak to him in OT. Notice how in the OT, the priests had to do all these sacrifices to atone for their own AND others' sins. We are all born into sin and live in sin daily, but not Jesus. If Jesus is not above, with God, at his right hand, forgiveness of sin is just not going to be. That's what Jesus did on the cross, a living blood shed sacrifice, slaughtered. I'm saying, just like Jesus said, he is the mediator between us and God. So in order for your prayers to reach God they need to go through Jesus. The Holy Spirit lives in us and when Jesus died, the POWER of the Holy Spirit was released, unto those who waited, who believed. Power to heal the sick. The HS does actions based on commands from God, but God moves through those who follow him. If you dont follow his Son, who delivered God's message, then you dont follow God.

Mark 12:28-30 (YLT has the best translation here): 28 And one of the scribes having come near, having heard them disputing, knowing that he answered them well, questioned him, `Which is the first command of all?' 29 and Jesus answered him -- `The first of all the commands [is], Hear, O Israel, (the Lord) is our God, (the Lord) is one; 30 and thou shalt love the Lord thy God out of all thy heart, and out of thy soul, and out of all thine understanding, and out of all thy strength -- this [is] the first command; My Jewish brothers "should probably be familiar with" this quote. For my Christian brothers, I'd like to point out he said "ὁ Θεὸς ἡμῶν" The God of US. FIRST person plural. He did not say "I am the God of you" or even "he is the God of you." But HE is the God of US (including himself). A few more verses for anyone claiming to believe in the greek scriptures, yet clinging to the trinity: (Jesus praying to God before his death) John 17:3 This is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent. (After the resurrection, but before ascending to heaven) John 20:17 "Jesus said to her, “Stop clinging to Me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father; but go to My brethren and say to them, ‘I ascend to My Father and your Father, and My God and your God.’”" (God talking to Jesus after returning to heaven) Hebrews 1:9 "Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows." (Speaking of what Jesus will do in the future when he returns to start the messianic age) Revelation 1:6 "and He has made us to be a kingdom, priests to His God and Father-to Him be the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen." (Speaking of Jesus returning all authority entrusted to him back to God) 1 Corinthians 15:24-28 "24 then comes the end, when He hands over the kingdom to the God and Father, when He has abolished all rule and all authority and power. 25 For He must reign until He has put all His enemies under His feet. 26 The last enemy that will be abolished is death. 27 For He has put all things in subjection under His feet. But when He says, “All things are put in subjection,” it is evident that He is excepted who put all things in subjection to Him. 28 When all things are subjected to Him, then the Son Himself also will be subjected to the One who subjected all things to Him, so that God may be all in all." 1 Corinthians 8:6 yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom are all things and we exist for Him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we exist through Him. Christ didn't teach a trinity... that was a roman invention. Rome has worked at perverting both the hebrew and greek scriptures for centuries. They're wrong.

I love listening to these videos. I say this because I like how this Rabbi presents the variety of dynamics at play, admits that he does not understand all dynamics (or the perspective of other faiths that contribute to the current situation/discussion). Then after that-this Rabbi….begins to explain his knowledge. It prevents people from being defensive and allows them to hear what he is saying even if it contradicts what they have known. Honestly, as a Christian and as a Noahide, I find listening to these videos a true deepening of my faith. So I want to give kindness back by sharing my research into Celtic history. My search began when I found out my father’s male line is Iberian Celtic-a strange thing to learn about your Alsace Lorraigne father’s history that you didn’t have prior to DNA testing 🤪. It did send me down the Celtic rabbit hole! My favorite archeologist is Barry Cunliffe because he really gives life to the culture based on archeology. He is probably the reason for the rabbit hole🤪! So to bless you as I have been blessed-I want to share what I have learned. The Trinity did NOT exist as a Church belief until after 500ad. Jesus was not made the son of God until after the Nicene creed. That was primarily instituted because at the time the Emperor claimed to be the Son of the gods. So the powers that be logically thought that in order for Jesus to be seen for who he is, he had to be equal to the Emperor. So they called him the son of Thee God. (It is beautiful within context.)It is what validated his birth rite to the thrown, according to society’s understanding. Then you have a second layer. While all of this is going on-we have the monks meditating in the desert feel a calling to evangelize Brittania. They are those same monk who spent several years meditating in the caverns of life missionaries encountered the Celts of England, Ireland, and the “most scary” Welsh that Hadrian built a wall to ensure we never encountered them again! Everything about their spiritual understanding centered around the 3. In their beliefs wholeness AND wisdom of anything was embodied by the 3. The Wisdom of the 3 would extend to 3 deities that represented wholeness to even the basic knowledge that life is not black and white. To be wise…that person must understand the third piece of the puzzle or at least be aware enough to know the importance of the grey (or 3rd piece). Though most Christians would today see the Trinity as equal to “the 3 forms of water” (ie: God is still God. God may metaphorically show up as Water, Ice, or air, but God is still God)-that whole experience with the celts and humanity’s disconnection from that history confuses an otherwise beautiful and more profoundly loving understanding of even a Jewish truth.we need to stop fighting each other, remember who we are, and then let all of that perpetuate growth!

The Spirit of God or Holy Spirit is God our creator or maker. He is the savior. He's the same one who interacted with Abraham and Moses. He lead the Exodus. It's the trinitarians who attach the words person, being, etc onto the doctrine of God in order to redefine God like pagan deities

It's really quite simple: no thing was created in the image of no thing, and two, the voice of your conscience is the Holy Spirit

As a Christadelphian who the Rabbis knows do not believe in the Trinity can I remind him that the Holy Spirit is also used to denote angels, for example, the angel of God presence during the Exodus (Isaiah 63:9 and 10) I would rather see this to be the case with the Comforter in the NT who is portrayed in a personal way. Some CDs believe this is personification but I think the fact we can also grieve him in the NT calls for a better understanding. God has manifested Himself in angels but also people - the judges, Moses was God to Pharaoh etc. It's a shame Jews cannot see Jesus doing the same in perfect similitude of the character of His Father - not the same knowledge, but the same mind as in character. But one day soon God willing this will change

Isaiah 63:10 in the Tanakh says "But they rebelled and grieved His Holy Spirit, and He was turned to be their enemy; He fought with them." The Holy Spirit has personhood if it can be grieved.

this is brilliant. thank you!

The Bible says, "God is NOT the author of confusion." So, can someone please explain the Trinity to me?

I really enjoyed your presentation. Thank you so much. I thought you might be interested to know that there are many Christians, like me, who have TOTALLY rejected the concept of a trinity and who believe that the Holy Spirit is the power and personal presence of Almighty God in those of us who accept Him. We believe that Christ, His Son, who experienced first-hand life as a human being on Earth also contributes His presence in this Spirit, and together they are able to live in us.

Isaiah 64:10 (KJV): "Thy holy cities hath the fire consumed, and thy holy people hath the enemy destroyed, and the temple which thy right hand hath established, hath the fire burnt, and all our pleasant places are laid waste. Thou hast vexed thy Holy Spirit, therefore we are undone." The word "vexed" in this verse comes from the Hebrew word "ka`as" (כָּעַס), meaning "to provoke, irritate, or frustrate". The use of "vexed" implies that the Holy Spirit is a person who can be provoked, irritated, or frustrated, just like a human would be. This verse suggests that the Holy Spirit has personal feelings and emotions, which are affected by humanity's actions. Therefore, the word "vexed" in Isaiah 64:10 indicates that the Holy Spirit is a person, not just an impersonal force or energy. The Christians didn't make it up it's in your own scriptures

Holy,holy, holy, is the Lord God Almighty!

King SAUL my friend has the spirit of Gd and then it departed from him, and gd sent Saul evil spirits to dwell in.. so many examples.. of Holy Spirit in Tanak, they can not be ignored by your show... Yes Language.. the WORD-- logos.. architect,,, life and death..

Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. Genesis 1:26 And God said, let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth. :27 So God created man in His own image, in the image of God created He him; male and female created He them. John 1:2 The same was in the beginning with God. :14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. Matthew 1:18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as His mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost. :20 But while Joseph thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, you son of David, fear not to take unto you mary your wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. :23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us. Isaiah 9:6 For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon His shoulder, and His name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Daniel 7:13 I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him. :14 And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed. Daniel 3:25 He answered and said, Look, I see four men loose, walking in the middle of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God. Jesus said in John 10:30 I and My Father are one. & John 14:11 Believe Me that I Am in the Father, and the Father in Me: or else believe Me for the very works' sake. Matthew 28:19-20 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age. Acts 5:3 But Peter said, Ananias, why had Satan filled your heart to "lie" to the "Holy Ghost," and to keep back part of the price of the land? :4 Whiles it remained, was it not your own? and after it was sold, was it not in your own power? Why had you planned this thing in thine heart? You had not "lied" unto men, but unto "God." 1 John 5:7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. John 14:6 Jesus answered, I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except by me. 2 John 1:9 Anyone who runs ahead and does not continue in the teaching of Christ does not have God; whoever continues in the teaching has both the Father and the Son. John 15:26 But when the Helper comes, whom I shall send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who comes from the Father, He will testify of Me. Jesus said in John 17:8 For I have given unto them the words which you gave me; and they have received them, and known surely that "I came out from you," and they have believed that you did sent me. 2 Corinthians 1:9 But we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God which raises the dead: Galatians 1:1 Paul, an apostle, (not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised Jesus from the dead;) Acts 13:30 But God raised Jesus from the dead: John 2:19 Jesus answered and said unto them, destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up. 20 Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and will you rear it up in three days? 21 But Jesus spake of the temple of His body. 1 John 3:16 Hereby Perceived we the love of God, because he laid down His life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. Romans 8:11 But if the "Spirit" of Him "that raised up Jesus from the dead" lives in you, He that raised up Christ from the dead will also quicken your mortal bodies by His Spirit that lives in you. John 20:28 And Thomas answered and said unto Jesus, my Lord and my God. :29 Then said Jesus to Thomas, Thomas because you have seen me, you have believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed. 2 Corinthians 4:1 Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not; :2 But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God. Romans 8:11 But if the "Spirit" of Him "that raised up Jesus from the dead" lives in you, He that raised up Christ from the dead will also quicken your mortal bodies by His Spirit that lives in you. John 20:28 And Thomas answered and said unto Jesus, my Lord and my God. :29 Then said Jesus to Thomas, Thomas because you have seen me, you have believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed. 2 Corinthians 4:3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: :4 In whom the god(Satan) of this world has blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. :5 For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake. :6 For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, has shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. Ephesians 3:9 And to make all mankind see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world has been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ: John 15:26 But when the Helper comes, whom I shall send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who comes from the Father, He will testify of Me. Jesus said in John 20:22 And when he had said this, He breathed on them, and says unto them, Receive you the Holy Ghost: 1 CORINTHIANS 12:3 Therefore I give you to understand, that no mankind speaking by the Spirit of God calls Jesus accursed, and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, except by the Holy Ghost. Ephesians 1:13-14 In whom you also trusted, after that you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that you believed, you were sealed with that Holy Spirit of promise, which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of His glory. John 14:15-:17 If you love me, keep my commandments. And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that He may abide with you for ever; even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it sees Him not, neither knows Him: but you know Him; for He lives with you, and shall be in you. Romans 8:9 But you are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God live in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, that person is none of His. Psalm 78:41 Yes, they turned back and tempted God, and limited the Holy One of Israel. 89:18 For the Lord is our defence; and the Holy One of Israel is our king. Isaiah 14:20 That they may see, and know, and consider, and understand together, that the hand of the Lord has done this, and the Holy One of Israel has created it. 43:15 I am the Lord, your Holy One, the creator of Israel, your king. Habakkuk 1:12 Are you not from Everlasting, O Lord my God, mine Holy One? We shall not die. O Lord, you had ordained them for judgment; and, O mighty God, you had established them for correction. Mark 1:22 And they were astonished at Jesus Doctrine: for he taught them as one that had authority, and not as the scribes. :23 And there was in there synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; and he cried out. :24 Saying, let us alone; what have we to do with you, you Jesus of Nazareth? Are you come to destroy us? I know you who are, the Holy One of God. Luke 4:32 And they were astounded at his doctrine: for his word was with power. :33 And in the synagogue there was a man, which had the spirit of an unclean devil, and cried out with a loud voice, :34 Saying, let us alone; what have we to do with you, are you Jesus of Nazareth? Are you come to destroy us? I know you who you are; the Holy One of God. Luke 23:46 And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, He said, Father, into your hands I commend my Spirit: and having said this, He gave up the Ghost. Jesus said in John 17:11 And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to you. Holy Father, keep through Your Own name those whom you have given Me, that they may be one, as We are One. John 17:20 neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which will believe on Me through their word; :21 That they all may be one; as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You, That they also may be one in Us: that the world may believe that You have sent Me. :22 And the glory which you gave Me I have given them: that they may be one, even as We are One: ;23 I in them, and You in me, that they may be made perfect in one: and that the world may know that You had sent Me, and have love them, as you have loved Me.

You have blessed me without knowing it 🙏❤🔥 all glory to YHWH

Why three gods? Why not six or twelve? The unity of G-d is a deal-breaker. Zei Gesund.

I’ve been watching a ton of these videos, no I’m not Jewish nor practice Judaism. This man is well informed and I appreciate that.

Thanks rabbi

So great. Thank you for understanding holy spirit currently. What is the name of the song on last part? The song is so good

Thank you 👍🏼🙏

I just listened to one of your videos about the NT being written in Greek. What could you recommend me as a curriculum for my children and myself to learn Hebrew?

They don't want to hear the truth, at all. but God does not need us. Instead we need Him to guide our life and the hereafter, if they want to take, it is good for tham..

The New Testament contains no explicit trinitarian doctrine. However, many Christian theologians, apologists, and philosophers hold that the doctrine can be inferred from what the New Testament does teach about God. But how may it be inferred? Is the inference deductive, or is it an inference to the best explanation? And is it based on what is implicitly taught there, or on what is merely assumed there? Many Christian theologians and apologists seem to hold it is a deductive inference. In contrast, other Christians admit that their preferred doctrine of the Trinity not only (1) can't be inferred from the Bible alone, but also (2) that there's inadequate or no evidence for it there, and even (3) that what is taught in the Bible is incompatible with the doctrine. These Christians believe the doctrine solely on the authority of later doctrinal pronouncements of the True Christian Church (typically one of: the Catholic Church, the Eastern Orthodox tradition, or the mainstream of the Christian tradition, broadly understood). Some Catholic apologists have argued that this doctrine shows the necessity of the teaching authority of the Church, this doctrine being constitutive of Christianity but underivable from the Bible apart from the Church's guidance in interpreting it. This stance is not popular among Christians who are neither Catholic nor Eastern Orthodox. (2) would be the main sticking point, although some groups deny all three. Many Christian apologists argue that the doctrine of the Trinity is “biblical” (i.e. either it is implicitly taught there, or it is the best explanation of what is taught there) using three sorts of arguments. They begin by claiming that the Father of Jesus Christ is the one true God taught in the Old Testament. They then argue that given what the Bible teaches about Christ and the Holy Spirit, they must be “fully divine” as well. Thus, we must, as it were, “move them within” the nature of the one God. Therefore, there are three fully divine persons “in God”. While this is paradoxical, it is argued by these Christian apologists that this is what God has revealed to humankind through the Bible. Early Christianity was theologically diverse, although as time went on a “catholic” movement, a bishop-led, developing organization which, at least from the late second century, claimed to be the true successors of Jesus' apostles, became increasingly dominant, out-competing many gnostic and quasi-Jewish groups. Still, confining our attention to what scholars now call this “catholic” or “proto-orthodox” Christianity, it contained divergent views about the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. No theologian in the first three Christian centuries was a trinitarian in the sense of a believing that the one God is tripersonal, containing equally divine “persons”, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The terms we translate as “Trinity” (Latin: trinitas, Greek: trias) seem to have come into use only in the last two decades of the second century; but such usage doesn't reflect trinitarian belief. These late second and third century authors use such terms not to refer to the one God, but rather to refer to the plurality of the one God, together with his Son (on Word) and his Spirit. They profess a “trinity”, triad or threesome, but not a triune or tripersonal God. Nor did they consider these to be equally divine. A common strategy for defending monotheism in this period is to emphasize the unique divinity of the Father. Thus Origen (ca. 186-255), The God and Father, who holds the universe together, is superior to every being that exists, for he imparts to each one from his own existence that which each one is; the Son, being less than the Father, is superior to rational creatures alone (for he is second to the Father); the Holy Spirit is still less, and dwells within the saints alone. So that in this way the power of the Father is greater than that of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and that of the Son is more than that of the Holy Spirit... (Origen, First, 33-4 [I.3]) Many scholars call this strain of Christian theology “subordinationist”, as the Son and Spirit are always in some sense derivative of, less than, and subordinate to their source, the one God, that is, the Father. One may also call this theology unitarian, in the sense that the one God just is the Father, and not equally the Son and Spirit, so that the one God is “unipersonal”. While views about the Spirit remained comparatively undeveloped, and as in the New Testament the Spirit was not worshiped, in the second and third centuries catholic Christianity came to attribute a “a divine nature” to Jesus, and to firmly establish his being called “God”. Language which had been very unusual in the first century (Harris 1992) now became the norm; Jesus was now “God” or “a god”, but not the one true God. (e.g. Novatian, Trinity, ch. 31; Justin First, ch. 13) This divine Son (i.e. the pre-human Jesus) was mysteriously “generated” by God either just before creation (late 2nd to early 3rd c. “logos theologians” or in timeless eternity (from Origen on). While these developments were new, the worship of Jesus was not. As against earlier theories that it developed only slowly and because of Gentile influence, recent work has shown that Jesus was worshipped alongside God in the earliest known Christianity (Hurtado 2003, 2005). While the basis cited for this practice in the New Testament is God's post-resurrection exaltation of Jesus (Hurtado 2003, 640-1), it was now assumed that its basis was Jesus' having something divine within him.

Jesus Christ is prophet of Allah ❤

Yes 30000 denominations not willing to accept being lead. The obvious sign of sin and yet a massive unity in the christian belief in the unexplainable Trinity( but who said that we can explain the nature of God) a real sign of the power of God.

“And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters” - Genesis 1:2b. Instead of sufficiently expositing the Old Testament you go on a rant about the NT’s concept of Holy Spirit.

When God said Genesis 1:26, "Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness,". Who was He talking to?

Well, if the phone NUMBERS they dial from are real, the list of numbers that dialed your number will eventually fill to full capacity, up to duplicates. Nowadays it isn't that straightforward because people may dial from weird numbers, but that's something I don't know much about. I don't know the *architecture of that* that is.

I understand the Trinity, doesn't mean I buy into it.

I have been healed from a headache that would have injured me. But I cried out to the Lord, and he heard my cry. I am not lying. Jesus' stripes is why I was healed. It was his stripes, his suffering that brought me peace with God. And he could answer you, and fill you and make living waters flow from you.

Can someone please explain why the Rauch HaKodesh is translated as holy spirit instead of spirit of holiness? Thank you.

I’m a catholic and I think I understand the Holy Spirit in a manner similar to the Rabbi. This is just my opinion and I’m not sure if I’m accurately reflecting what the Church teaches, but I think one has to read the doctrine of the Trinity in light of the Tanakh. That’s the background and it can’t be ignored. The use of the word “person” is an attempt to describe the distinct aspects (for lack of a better word) of God, namely God, the Word, and the Spirit. The Holy Spirit is like His breath, but since He lacks parts like a human, and all of Him is life so that none of Him is mere un-living energy, His breath is like a living person. But without being separate. I’ve heard that the Word and Spirit are God’s energies. Which would make this make sense. Then it would make sense that the Father alone is referred to as “God” even when not included with the Trinity. So there is one God who acts through his energies, the Word and Spirit. God does not have parts like we do, yet He has distinctions within Himself. But these distinctions/energies cannot lack the fullness of life, so they are like persons. Yet they are still one being/substance, which means they are one. As awkward as the above might be, I think my bottom line is that I somewhat suspect that the use of “person” was an attempt to describe a concept but it does not convey the full mystery and nature of God. Perhaps that is why a Trinity was not just stated in the New Testament: God’s nature was first stated in Jewish terms but the Trinity was used to explain the concept to a gentile culture in the face of great misunderstanding (e.g., Arian heresy). It is an accurate description, but the doctrine of the Trinity is only accurate if viewed in light of all scriptures.

Thank you for all these references- I’ve read them and still so confused about the Holy Spirit and what it is. I think in johns gospel he says that Jesus said he would send a helper (Holy Spirit)??

B"H Shalom 🙋 how does one differentiate between Ruach HaKodesh and the spirit of folly? Shalom 🙋

Very good! You are in keeping with the Christian Bible. The Trinitarian Church is not in keeping with the Christian Bible. There are not 3 persons of God. If someone is a Trinitarian, they have rejected the God of Abraham. Thank you for helping to deliver Christians from Greek Pagan philosophy. Jesus is smiling on you!

B"H Ru'ach HaKodesh is what's written in the names of the nekudot and te'amim. I'll prove that with God's Help.

scriptures are something which mankind inherit from their elders they connect mankind to their origins whether scientifically correct or not still are precious treasures of mankind past.

Can I ask you this . What does it mean to blaspheme against The Holy Spirit? Ike I got confused in a petecostal church and a baptist church said that was blasphemy against Him. I don't now what that means?

That "insertion" of father, son and holy spirit is known as the "Johannine Comma"- I studied this about 15 years ago when I needed to figure it out - I needed answers to all these ideas that weren't really in the bible when I began to discover the difference between scripture and doctrine. I became passionate about it as I also had to trace down the rapture, jesus as god, speaking in tongues..... then I ran into a real problem...Isaiah 53 and that's when I found you. I write about it in my "soon to be published" book.

David mentions Holy Spirit in Psalm 51.

God is the Father, the Son (The Word) and the Holy Spirit. The Holy Trinity all happen to be Lord Jesus Christ Himself as One and the same. Lord Jesus Christ's actual name is Yahushua Hama Shiach. Yahushua means Yahweh=I AM Salvation. Jesus is Yahweh=I AM. Jesus is Immanuel meaning God among us. Moses and His other prophets wrote about Him in the Holy Bible being the Old Testament and New Testament. In Genesis it says that God said Let Us (being the Holy Trinity) create man in Our image and Our kindness.

I have been reading Samuel. In the NASB version the Spirit of God came upon him. Later, Saul received the Spirit of God and after, the Spirit came upon David mightily. But the Spirit withdrew from Saul.. This is the same , one and only Spirit.

Don't feel bad! 4 out of 3 people have trouble understanding the Trinity. 20:40 "The reason that Jews would rather die than convert to Christianity is because there is absolutely nothing in the Jewish Bible that even resembles the Doctrine of the Trinity." (There is absolutely nothing in the Christian writings either.)

I'm a Hindu planning to convert to Judaism and when that caller cried even I cried .. hashem loves you all

I am Christian and I don’t believe in trinity either. God gives a measure of understanding at different time and space. Not all Christians or Jewish person possess a full understand Of God at the same time. Isaiah 44:3 says “ I will pour my spirit upon your offspring”, future tense. Joel 2:28 says, “I will pour out my spirit on all flesh”, again in a future tense. In the New Testament act 2:17, “And in the last days it shall be, God declares, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh”. Of course many God’s prophets and special servants of God possessed God’s spirit and performed miracles and prophesied, otherwise they could not have done miracles or spoken God’s words without His Spirit. In Genesis, we are live and sustain by the spirit of God’s breath, otherwise our body is simply a dust. but In old testaments, average person did not possessed a measure of spirit of God promised In the future, He will POUR OUT HIS SPIRIT In the future. Only after 50 days after the death of Jesus was sacrificed the Holy Spirit was poured out as God promised in the Old Testament for an average person who seek God. Just as children of God received 10 commandants, Christians received the Grace of the Holy Spirit, Zachariah 12:10 says “And I will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitant of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and pleas for mercy, so that when they look upon me, on him whom they have pierced, they shall mourn for him, as one mourns for an only child, and weep bitterly over him, as one weeps, over a first born. Jesus dies as the first born and the first fruit. More people in the future, either Jew or Gentiles who seek God will possess a full measure of spirit.

are prophets only able to convey prophesy or is it the thing which anybody can do?

I’m building a 10x10 a frame cabin for fun, and it’s cost less than 700$, how the FUCK does it cost them 200k for a little box?

The mystery that has as the Trinity one God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit is mystery because in our earthly magnitude people cannot and have not discovered all in all. It is similar to the Jewish people never uttering the name of G-d and why is it that it is never uttered? Out of reverence and respect? Partly, yes. But mostly out of the mystery that this unknown, unknowable Lord G-d such as he is can not even be mentioned for fear of mistakenly using the incorrect name and thereby insulting or sinning against the Almighty.

I do not know who adopted this translation, but the Christians don't say "person" but (the hypostasis) .. Jesus Christ said > so it's clear HE was talking about one Name not three "Names" Nevertheless, Christian philosophy does not mean 3 physical or material objects when they translate the hypostasis into a person, but what is meant here is the personality or special qualities that characterize the Lord (being the speaking mind), which summarizes the truth of the Lord God being a rational creator of life by his word and preserves his creation with his spirit

What is the beautiful music at the end?

A better question to ask what is "ruach hakodesh" in Judaism VS Xian Holy spirit. On Shabbat Jews are given double or second soul. Does this mean we can eat twice as much? No it does not. Rabbi, doesn't ruach hakodesh give BIG Rabbis special power for bruchas and understanding?

Good word! Is there a English written bible that would be correctly translated to Jewish standard?

The Holy Spirit is a creature of God called the angel Gabriel

Matthew 28:19b “……..baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit”. There’s a clear Trinitarian formula if you wish to. How would you refute that ?

"Professional Christian Language" "Ecclesiastical Language" Isn't this an Ad Hominem?

If the people knew that then why did they hang Jesus on the cross? Why didn’t they recognize Jesus Christ when he came to his own? He came so that you could be born again into The Holy Spirit because of sin. You have to be born again to enter into the kingdom of heaven.

Ignatius was a disciple of Polycarp, Polycarp was a disciple of the Apostle of John.

I wanted to know if Jews believe the spirit if God is God ?

Also "the" often is referring to a third party "thing" and not giving reference to a "Who" which is a Pauline doctrinal transliteration. The chair, the cockroach, *the Paul*... noticed the first two "things", seem to be in order, however; when you refer to someone, your will either refer to them by either name or title.

If the spirit of hashem is something then the holy spirit concept seems correct.

I completely agree with this point of rabbi that not persons.where do we find persons in the bible

Rabbi Tovia Singer is just like Ramses II the pharaoh in the exodus God doing the signs & wonders in Egypt and yet he said that there is no God but like I said before on that day when he stands before God on judgment day he will see Jesus on his throne sitting next to the father

Spirit of God is exactly like Mercy of God, His Power, His Majesty, His Light, His Healing, .... etc. YOU CAN'T SEPARATE GOD'S CHARACTERISTICS INTO PERSONAS!!
