Unfortunately, Many people have many gods of needs .. Money, Sex, Greed of food, What I need to buy to keep up with society and much more. These gods Tear Down .. They do not build you up, they tear you down. It's up to you which god you choose. There is a choice, I choose the one God which helps me build up others. The God of Israel. The God of Love, Power and Might. At times, I do go down the wrong path, it does not mean I am perfect. It just means I realize and can see, repent and do better. There are people around you that need you to be firm and to help others around you because people can see which GOD you believe in, and it gives them hope. Thank you, Rabbi, for reminding us that God needs us.

When it comes to human existence there is always need is exist. We are living this world there is always a struggle Human resources are limited and minority population got the ownership of the vast amount of resources They use poor peasants as human shields to get hold to basic need of essentials needs Covid era we saw people were fighting get hold to some petrol so much violent and some been killed because they been rude to each other while they were at the queue. Most Wealthy people .l found they are ruthless they are ungrateful they understand their difficulties only. They just want to live rich and able only They want to radicate poor and ugly from this earth They love their animals more than human being Still believe man created by God Benedictos Benediccat. Therefore l could say our need is there for daily survival food and drink more than gold and diamond If women say we don't need gold and diamond that's fine then price go down tremendously as you said 50% of demand go down and price also go down Oneday there won't be much demand for those items eventually But you said differently you put all human needs in one bag. .

My beliefs, God is a number. A colossal mass of spirit energy and wisdom with a star as astral body. There are many BCS billions of people believing manifest amazing things. Plus once an individual reaches self awareness, they create their own. Over many lifetimes. There is a heavenly father or ultimate creator. If we rewound far enough everything would eventually fly back into it's/his consciousness. Just good to keep out of a little God box, broaden consciousness. An idol fits in a box, not God. Or any of them. And any God that changes a life from hate to Love 💕 deserves my respect.

@patriciaribaric3409 3 ай бұрын

He needs me to transform my heart through Torah and Mitzvot, and stone by stone take the mountain of hatred I think I see, and build a new mountain from the stones and see the mountain was really a mountain of love meant to transform my heart. It's a huge task because His love for me is beyond huge. To build the mountain I need to lay myself down for the foundation.

@user-fb1yu1er3x 4 ай бұрын

An interesting word in the context of Need? The most usual concept of need by many individuals is either desire, want or need, in thinking that these words have the same significance. In philosophical terms of reasoning desire is the lowest element of evilness over ruling reasoning. Where want and need are totally independent of each others definitions for the want of something or some one is partly more indicative in its form of desire, however need defines an urgency that cannot be neglected nor over looked. An example is that a house in want of paint does not look its best and does not require immedient attention for painting. On the other perspective a house in need of paint is in its worst condition indicating that it requires immediate attention and is in need of painting and cannot be neglected nor overlook or ignored any further. In retrospect in the same manner that a newborn baby needs to be nurtured and cared by his mother, so does one need God's Goodness Gracious Godness protection and defenses in times of need when overwhelmed by the opposing forces of God that are threatening ones' own Godly's wellbeing.

I think to myself, even though I don't recall requesting or accepting being born or incarnated into the body I have, does that mean that I didn't? I think no, not necessarily. Just because you don't remember something happening, it doesn't logically follow from that that something didn't happen, or did happen. I think about some near death experiences people claim to have had, where they claim they were reincarnated; some claimed they wanted to be born into the life they were born into so that they may spiritually grow. What does one make of such accounts?

He doesn't *need* you at all come to think of it, so He certainliy doesn't need you to get married; yet you've got to live the lifestyle you've chosen, and that means following the rules about marriage- that's for *your* own good... I believe He laid it out via one of His prophets something along these lines: "If I were hungry, why would I turn to *you*, besides: I do not eat what you eat." that kind of stance.

The 'needs' arguement is weak. If there is any proposition that has NEVER worked historically it is the deceptive face of need. Our own real needs are simple and few and our given conditions on earth have more than provided for them. Does God have extraordinary needs? Is he hungry? Cold? Lonely? Is that our only purpose? To provide God with food, shelter and companionship? We are very good at depriving others of basic needs.

What's the next step when I get to the point of feeling like "I need to meet someone else's needs"?

@user-jn6jm4bb6f 4 ай бұрын

Every "request" that comes to fulfill the needs of others is always a test. Some of the people who will come, will have a need that I will have to grant or fulfill. Some of the people who will come, will have a need that I will have to reject. This is called "distinguishing between good and evil". How can I distinguish between these and those? We will ignore what our eyes see and our ears hear, and instead ask, prey and seek for guidance. And what happens when we don't receive guidance? We neither decide nor act but wait. Why? Because that was the real test, namely whether when you don't receive guidance, you go back to acting on your own. In the Bible this is called "Moshe's ascension to Mount Sinai." Some sat and waited for Moses to return and some went back to their old ways and built the golden calf.

Well, one lens that would work, however imperfectly for Him, is that of a manager, even one in a family-business: and in *that* regard, Rabbi, He absolutely needs you to eat and rest sufficiently, if only so that you can do your assigned tasks- otherwise His workforce will self-destruct by worn-out suicide... it's cause and effect, simple as that.
