Tovia is the best! Only Rabbi I know that knows the entire Bible to be able to understand the contradictions and lies found in the new testament. Can't get enough

May Hashem bless u with an extremely long and healthy life Rabí!!

Thank you for the scripture references, I have been immersed in the Tanakh for a few days now and HaShem has opened my eyes. What is amazing to me is learning about the truth of the free will we have in him. The questions I had before over the last 20 years that I was told “we don’t ask, we just believe Jesus by faith” the Tanakh has answered in just a moment of reading the Torah as the inspired word from HaShem. Something I’ve noticed since repenting of my idolatrous worship of Jesus is that I have a new respect and love for my fellow man. Those who believe and those who don’t, those who are stuck in idolatry, that are ridiculing me for repenting and turning to HaShem, they don’t upset me, you know why? Because with this wisdom there is no doubt, I admit I did love Jesus but I doubted. When I was a very little child, HaShem nor his word was in my home, yet I looked at the trees and everything around me and I knew he was real. I was abused severely, but HaShem was with me and I knew it. When I met those who taught Jesus I was told that I was not worthy to have talked to HaShem in my childhood, that only those who knew Jesus could, I was made to believe that what I knew of HaShem was not real. Now 20+ years later, He brought me back to him. Thank you for encouraging your listeners to read the Tanakh for themselves, it has opened my eyes and I’m thankful.

Thank you. The whole concept makes more sense. I am a Christian and most of my how and why explained here. I am blessed to hear you speak. My thanks to the Most High God.

Thank you for your prayer that one day we won't need you, Rabbi. But right now we really do. Please keep teaching us until you can't teach us anymore and I promise to continue to learn as well as I can.

You are a light for so many.

Absolutely love this explanation! Thank you Rabbi Singer for expounding on this!

This was a superb lecture. I wish you a happy New Year, שנה טובה.

I'm not even religious but this is informative and interesting. Thanks!

I couldn't click fast enough! Best rabbi

I thought they were crying tears of joy.............. Thank you Rabbi you have helped me to see things differently

Blessed you rabbi I learned so much from you ❤

Wow, this is great. Thank you.

As a Christian Rabbi Tovia my mentor let the truth shine braaaavo

I honestly believe tovia singer can take on the whole Catholic Church by himself! Easy !!

Thanks for your teachings about the true teachings of G-D and not the lies of the New Testament and the scripture twisting that the Christians like to do May Hashem bless you so you can keep telling real truth of Hashem.

Rabbi Singer ... thank you

This is beautiful. Where can we study the motivations of the biblical authors? Is it just logic that comes from reading Tanakh? That seems fascinating and useful

Outstanding, Thank You!

Thanks Rabbi. For someone understanding who Satan is, this makes 100% sense. The Christians might struggle with this a bit.

Thank you for understanding ....shalom

I just resigned from my Conservative Shul after 20 + years, due to the fact that the movement has moved so far away from true Torah. It’s sad, but true. They worship the p.c.movement, not HaShem.

Satan is an angel of HaShem, doing his will. So, either way it is HaShem's will.

Please explain why Daniel a eunuch was revered as a prophet when according to Deuteronomy 23:1 a castrated male or a man with deformed genitals could not be considered part of the Israelite congregation. Another question relating to this, again why was he revered when he involved himself in the practice of divination which I believe was also expressly forbidden by Ha Shem. Many thanks

The Question is not whether Satan is the enemy of God or not. The question is who intrigued David to take census, God or Satan? The respected Rabbi beating around the bush and failed to answer the question.

Great, dear rabbi!!

The temple was always being attacked or close to being destroyed, the bible is the bible , and God is perfect! I hope and pray soon The perfect and only God will be shown and known , with no more testing! No more confusion! No more shame and grief! May God truly be worshiped and prayed to and all suffering end soon amen!

Rabbi is right. Look it up.

Are there Talk Tanach shirts available for purchase? Very illuminating video btw! As a former Protestant, this explanation, especially concerning Satan, makes much more sense than what I was taught growing up. Thank you!

" The church weakens everything it touches ". " Christianity is in greater contrast to Judaism than to paganism " . Johann Wolfgang GOETHE , Maximen und Reflexionen

It is interesting that Adam and Eve did not repent when they started suffering and did not ask for forgiveness.

A much simpler explanation and not complicated at all The word Satan שטן in Hebrew means stumbling block! That means it does not even have to be an angel! It can be anything that bothers a person is called in Hebrew Satan! For example - in Numbers Chapter 22:22 there is a angel who stands in front of the donkey and prevents him from passing ! Or 1 Kings Chapter 11:14 A man is a devil to another man And in general in the Book of Psalms chapter 109: 4 there is a use of the root "ש.ט.ן" -" תַּֽחַת־אַהֲבָתִ֥י יִשְׂטְנ֗וּנִי - -וַאֲנִ֥י תְפִלָּֽה׃In return for my love they are my adversaries; but I am all prayer. Thus the word Satan in Hebrew is a legitimate word and has nothing to do with what Christians or Muslims call Satan

Xtian! Send your best theologian to debate with King Tovia Singer, if have any gut. All are scared. Then why talk against Tovia Singer??? Why you call him liar??? He is not liar. He is truthful. You all are hypocrites.

Can anyone suggest a Hebrew to English Tanakh? I have a JPS version but it’s not correct.

Please make Indonesian subtitles,Mr Rabbi.I Subscribe to your channel,but I don't understand English🙏🙏🙏

Most nice people are unaware of these contradictions.

Thank you for amazing explanation........only one G-d no NO. Trinity. Why would HaShem send a man to die on a Roman cross....now people only believe you go to heaven through Jesus.....then all the Roman and Greek lies.

Hi Rabbi Singer, thank you for your content. My apologies as my question is off the topic of the video. I have a question about the worship of the LORD and the king by the nation of Israel in 1 Chronicles 29:20? This event and the action of the people is happening in a religious context. How was this not idolatrous? I appreciate your time taken to answer me. God bless.

Well as for lil ol dummy me, I SEE IT as > אֱלֹהִ֑ים יהוה < is ANGRY @ David FOR FOR FOR NUMBERING Israel. Versions and translations ARE NOT INSPIRED OF > אֱלֹהִ֑ים יהוה

The numbering of Israelites and the consequent plagues are related to the heisenberg uncertainty principle (indeterminacy principle) "that the position and the velocity of an object cannot both be measured exactly, at the same time, even in theory." Quantum physics should be further superimposed with Kabbalah.

Christian theology does not teach that Satan is the arch-enemy of God as equal to him. That is a straw man argument. We actually believe the same that Satan is a servant of God. We believe that God is sovereign and almighty. Satan cannot do anything evil unless God permits him to. Christianity does not have a 'yin-yan' perspective to God and Satan. You fail to acknowledge that the Tanak is part of our canon. Our explanation for this apparent contradiction is identical. We maintain that Satan, the adversary, consistently wages war against the good in us. He is the Tempter. In fact, James 4:7 says "resist the devil and he will flee from you." So yes, Christianity actually teaches that we can defeat Satan. Moreover, the longer ending of the Gospel of Mark teaches this allusion to Genesis 3 when it says Christians will trample on serpents. And, Jesus Christ Himself teaches this when He said that He has given His disciples authority to trample on snakes and scorpions in Luke 10:19. Rabbi Singer, you do a great job on pointing out issues between the Septuagint and the Masoretic text, the strange quotations of the Tanak found in the Gospels, and the contradictions between the Gospels. However, what you fail to do is explain the Christian apologetic to those issues. Rather you just state them and attack the faith. A good critic tackles their opponent's point of view by fully representing these views. I will concede that your best argument against the Christian faith is the Trinity. The doctrine is very difficult to explain because it is a paradox. How can we explain an existential paradox to which we have no point of reference? This makes it hard for Jews to see one God. I will hand it to you, the Trinity is a hard doctrine to accept, especially coming from a rigorous monotheistic perspective. However, I will maintain that Christianity does not teach 3 gods, it teaches 1 God. I believe in 1 God. I do not, I cannot, and I will not believe in 3 gods. He is One! Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one.

What is the best Tanakh that we can order in the original Hebrew language?

Hey lovely rabbi, did God create man in his image? Does God have a body? Does God have a soul? Does God have a spirit? What does the scriptures say rabbi?

Satan means ADVISARY or ENEMY in Hebrew.

As the rabbi admitted, that's not even close to being the most outrageous contradiction in Jewish scripture.

Hey rabbi tovia, Can you make a video addressing Jordan Petersons unique perspective of Christian theology and the Bible as a whole?

The David Koresh of Judaism speaks!

So is the evil of Satan, the same as what so many Rabbis talk about the evil in the soul? The divine spark, in Judaism the search of the divine, bringing the divine from above?

IF I can get a phone call on this... I'll tell it to the caller. Otherwise, I will post and least one problem with what is said here. 😊

In the beginning God created heaven and earth! ...7th day he rested! No human can get resources from earth and build a temple that can contain God! God spoke and all heaven and earth was created! So the resources used to build a temple for God belongs to God!

Create evil is a wrong translation; God permits evil to bring good.

The Messiah prophesied in the Tanakh !! 1). Who is a man called woman’s seed in Tanakh ?: • Genesis 3:15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel. • Isaiah 7:14 Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel. • Micah 5:2 But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting. 2). About the Messiah, God (YHWH) said by the word: “I AM HE” • Isaiah 43:10 Ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I AM HE: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me. • Isaiah 43:13 Yea, before the day was I AM HE; and there is none that can deliver out of my hand: I will work, and who shall let it? • Isaiah 43:25 I, EVEN I, AM HE that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins. • Isaiah 52:6 Therefore my people shall know my name: therefore they shall know in that day that I AM HE that doth speak: behold, it is I.

What a charismatic story-teller. Such wonderful interpretations of stories written thousands of years ago. One could almost believe that what he is saying is true.

2 Questions for Rabbi Tovia: 1. Why was the "ark of the covenant" not recreated in the second temple? 2. Will it be appropiate to recreate it for third temple since the first one got lost? By the way, I like that "menorah" in the background looks nice ! Thanks

Why did God ask where satan was in Job if they don't have free will

The title is not to the point. 2Sam 24:1 vs. 1Ch 21:1 See Stuart Federow (2012), Judaism and Christianity: A Contrast - [Ch. 3 The Satan versus a devil].

Nothing is better than eternal happiness. A cheese sandwich is better than nothing. Therefore, a cheese sandwich is better than eternal happiness. This is probably more sound than the epistolmology of any religion. Rejoice, join me in the worship of the cheese sandwich (entry fee applies).

Baruch HaShem

Thank goodness I am an atheist and can just shake my head in amazement at all the BS.

So... who tempted David? Is Satan and God one and the same? The writing states who tempted...

Toooooooooooooooooooooovvvvvviiiiiiaaaaaaa

So silly, to accept these stories as true and that there is a god. The start of the worlds problems.

AND!!! I ASK AGAIN!! WHO IS THE AUTHOR OF THESE OUTRAGEOUS CONTRADICTIONS?? It sure does appear God IS the Author of confusion, OR is it THEY Or ONE of the US Gods?? E.g., God said let US make man in OUR image < Genesis 1:26. BUT!! THEN AGAIN, > Genesis 1:27 > So God created mankind in his own image,.................." OHhhhhh K, SOoooo God said let US create man in OUR image BUT God created man in HIS, NOT THEIR image. O-KEY DOAK. His means their, and their means his. wunnerful wunnerful wunnerful.

Rabbi Tovia can you explain Psalm 51:16-17

It’s been changed by man and man make errors

How can you say “ Satan evil and God perfect “! ?

6:25 - without Satan there would be no fee will. 😂 What kind of freedom is it if it still depends on someone else? Ridiculous. 🤣

We are NUMBERED TOO!! Here in the divided so called UNITED States, it is called "Social Security NUMBER!!" SEE any connection to that NUMBER & the NUMBER/Mark of the Beast?? Also, what does Census mean?? Never mind.

Why did you call Adam the first Adam?

This comment is to Tovia Singer. It is not in regard to this video. If you are a Jew, if you worship the God of Abraham, Issac, and Judah, and if you acknowledge than Nathan was a true prophet, note these verses in II Samuel 12:13 And David said unto Nathan, I have sinned against the LORD. And Nathan said unto David, The LORD also hath put away thy sin; thou shalt not die. 14 Howbeit, because by this deed thou hast given great occasion to the enemies of the LORD to blaspheme, the child also that is born unto thee shall surely die. Because you have patience with Christian's, I will tell you how I read this passage. David, did not die for his sin. The son of David died for his David's sin. I began this letter in this fashion, because two of my Biblical quotes were deleted from your channel, and one of your commenters who seems to be a friend of yours, says he respects the Torah, but not so much the prophets. Here Nathan says this is from God, and not himself. If you tell me that Nathan did not speak from God, then please do not call yourself a Jew. The same especially goes for the aforementioned commenter, and who ever deleted my quotes from the Bible. You can tell me you believe in Moses and the prophets, but not the New Testament. I respect that. I will try to persuade you from time to time that Jesus is the Father(John 8:24). Perhaps, I am riled up because of the aforementioned commenter. Perhaps you did not delete my quotation of Isaiah 1 and another passage from the prophets. If my indignation is misdirected, please forgive my manner, but tell me you did not delete Bible(in this case Old Testament, KJV) quotations. Also, if you believe that the first chapter of Isaish is not from God, please tell me here publicly. Examine your heart. Disputing whether the New Testament is from God based on a common agreement that the Old Testament (a Christian term) is from God is a righteous thing to do, if both parties love and seek the truth. If the other party believes in neither, that is alright if he acknowledges such. Again, if you do believe in Moses and the prophets(Old Testament) and love these words from God, please forgive my misdirected indignation. If not, I stand by my words above. All of us have sinned. You know that is in the Old Testament as well as the New. I listened to you to understand the viewpoint of Jews who do not believe that Jesus is the God of Abraham. If both of us live the truth, then we love God, and I believe we will come into agreement. Because of the manner of this letter, I will tell you that I saw Him on February 23, 1983. I only expect that you will talk to God and read the Torah, and hopefully the prophets. In the Love of the God of Abraham, Issac, and Jacob, William K. Earl

1 Samuel 6, is this the exchanging of the truth with lies? The philistines put in the ark of the lord in place of the ark of G-D.

Couldn’t understand the question.

Elah made an *Everlasting Covenant* with Abraham but in the New Testament the *Everlasting Covenant* has been done away with??

Rabbi, I have a question. What if a Gentile keeps the Noahide laws but is not convinced of the truth or validity of the Hebrew Hashem or any gods for that matter? Does that fall under the Law not to curse Hashem? Even though that is not their intent? What does that look like to you? Can such a person as an Atheist because they are simply not convinced of the truth of anyone's Deity be accepted by Hashem when they fulfill the Noahide Laws?

If I do on to others as I would expect to do unto myself would I do justice to the Torah as I don’t speak or read Hebrew or Biblical Hebrew and can’t interprets the Torah myself

Adam was created good, but not righteous. For what purpose was Adam created, when God had already created angles (and the other inhabitants of the universe - Gen 1: 26 let us make man in our image)? Notice that the tree in the midst of Eden is called the tree of knowledge of good and evil...and that if they were to eat of it they would surely die on the same day they ate from it. In Gen 3 the serpent raises doubt that leads to rebellion against God which changes her...she became evil (as did Adam), and in the natural course of action (being evil) she ate the fruit...giving her evidence that she knew evil. Eve became evil, but God did not predestine her or Adam to fail, but he did create them with free-will i.e. which means they had the potential to sin (and fall and die); but the ideal scenario was they did not sin & die but would go on to seek after life to spring up in themselves i.e. righteousness in themselves, no longer dependant on the the good fruit, herbs etc for life in their original state of being. After they ate the fruit they knew they were naked - their deeds were uncovered, and they sewed fig leaves to cover their wrongs. Now humanity - in the orignal pair - has no free-wiil, but sin arising from within their now evil hearts of stone (Ezek11) made them its desire..but they could rule over it once they were saved (saw past the sacrifice of the firstling of the flock their need for salvation from their fallen state). Only then can man have any free-will. God's spirit takes our prayers (He is the fire on the altars, if you would have it, that burns up our sin offerings and our incense (prayers for change - like the prayers Abraham offered up for Sodom, Moses offfered up for Israel, Enoch offered up for the wicked) that makes them acceptable . Yes we can't ask properly having no free-will, butGod interprets our cries and our needs and answers them. The lusts that live inside us, control us and deny us free-will. Salvation is the beginning of true free-will, when we can see where we do wrong. Without salvation we are cursed to justify our wrongs and use the treat of war or inticement; and can never choose to do right. Also, God has to deal with a multitude of different minds, servants, his children with all sorts of beliefs and un god-like ideas...so he uses language that is in synch with where we are. God is not an accuser, he blames himself - this is why we read God says I will kill them, yet He also says I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked.

It's not a contradiction actually when you know that Satan has to obey God also. Just as when Job was tested by God using Satan. Simply read Job and see that it was God's favor on Job that provoked Satan to allow him to test Job which God then accepts the challenge. Also God sent a lying spirit so that Ahab would fall and die so that God's word will be fulfilled that he spoke by his prophet. So no real Christian has a problem at all with this. God does as he sees fit and answers to no man

God doesn't contradict himself in his word. if he did then he aint God. You either believe in everything written in the Word. or you dont. you cant nit pick what you wanna believe cuz if you cant believe one thing is true then how can you believe the other thing is true. all scripture is given by God. it is true and faithful.

New requisite in the background?

Was ahaziah 42 or 22 when he started to reign.

"The LORD regretted that he had made human beings on the earth, and his heart was deeply troubled". - Genesis 6:6 The hebrew word וַיִּנָּ֣חֶם (way·yin·nā·ḥem) used. Regretting is not the Character of God. People who do not know what impact their action will cause in the future will regret for their deed when it yeilds negative result. God being omniscient know the past present and future will certainly know the end result of His action. Therfore will never regret. Regretting is the character of the man falsely attributed to the God. This is one of the many examples that the bible has been corrupted by men.

Matthew's temptation narrative recounts 5 Jesus' spiritual preparation for ministry; the event contrasts the disobedience of Ancient Israel with the obedience of Jesus; representative of the new Israel. Israel and Jesus are both called God's Son. The temptations of both Israel and Jesus are preceded by a baptism. Israel was tested for 40 years; Jesus is tempted for 40 days and 40 nights. Israel failed it's wilderness testing; while Jesus triumphs over Satan through obedience and self abasement. These parallels are supported by Jesus three responses to the devil taken from Deut 6-8. These texts Deut 8;3 6;16 6;13 warned the Israelites against disobedience and reminded them of God's provisions in the wilderness. Jesus victory sets an example for Christian obedience. Earthly life is a wilderness trial for God's people en route to the land of heaven. Through this probationary period; God wills the faithful to overcome temptations from the world; the flesh and the devil. Triumph is possible through penance and obedience to God's word.

0:33 color coming back.. ☺️

I don't hate one for all. No matter what faith you have or not. This guy got spanked by Christian prince. Your a abdjew. People saying here Jesus and Christians are Satan. Karma comes naturally from God for being decievers against him. Jesus alive he has no time we do. You may face him one day. Than what your going to say while Jesus sits on the right hand of the father.

Makes the blind see raised the dead walked on water no father in flesh. We all have father in flesh. Jesus father is God. And so much more. And Jews say so what. I thought most of Jews were judges and lawyers Jesus not guilty for this nonsence

Is your wrist ok? It looks like a pretty good sized knot on your left wrist. I hope it's nothing.

A passionate response Tovia. Almost reminiscent of the Christian theological gymnastics we witness when you turn up heat in debates. You very well know there are issues in transmission of Torah and by extension Tanakh. Bickering over it isn't constructive. But hiding from it isn't sincere either

Strong's Hebrew Lexicon Search Results Result of search for "satan": 7853 satan saw-tan' a primitive root; to attack, (figuratively) accuse:--(be an) adversary, resist. 7854 satan saw-tawn' from 7853; an opponent; especially (with the article prefixed) Satan, the arch-enemy of good:--adversary, Satan, withstand.

For those who love to ridicule Christian belief I offer this explanation from a well known Christian teacher. "David probably ordered this census about 975 B.C. "After the revolutions of both Absalom and Sheba it would have been reasonable for David to reassess his military situation against the possibility of similar uprisings or other emergencies." In support of this hypothesis is the fact that Joab and the army commanders were able to take over nine months to gather the population statistics (v. 8). This suggests a very peaceful condition in Israel that characterised David's later reign but not his earlier reign. The writer of Chronicles wrote that Satan (perhaps an adversarial neighbor nation since the Hebrew word satan means "adversary") moved David to take the census (1 Chron. 21:1). Yet in verse 1 the writer of Samuel said God was responsible. Both were true; God used an adversary to bring judgment on the objects of His anger (cf. Job. 1-2; Acts 2:23). "… paradoxically, a divinely-sent affliction can be called a 'messenger of Satan' (2 Cor 12:7 …)." "God, though He cannot tempt any man (Jas. 1:13), is frequently described in Scripture as doing what He merely permits to be done; and so, in this case, He permitted Satan to tempt David." We can identify perhaps four levels of causality in verse 1. God was the final cause, the primary instrumental cause was Satan, the secondary instrumental cause was some hostile human enemy, and David was the efficient cause. The Lord was angry with Israel for some reason. He evidently allowed Satan to stir up hostile enemy forces to threaten David and Israel (cf. Job 1-2). In response to this military threat, David chose to number the people. David's choice was not his only option; he chose to number the people. He sinned because he failed to trust God. The Lord did not force David to sin. Quite clearly David took the census to determine his military strength. Taking a census did not constitute sin (cf. Exod. 30:11-12; Num. 1:1-2). David's sin was apparently placing confidence in the number of his soldiers rather than in the Lord. "

Islam is for everyone! Prophet Mohammed peace be upon him was sent to all nations. Allah loves all of his creations; he doesn’t favor one race over another. Modern Hebrews lost the message when they started to question Allah! They also proffered the man-written talmud over the torah. Allah choose many prophets from the ancient Hebrew to spread the message of the One true creator and to hold the commandments. This message is sent to all mankind & persuasived till the time of Judgement.

If G-d had an enemy, that being would simply cease existing in an instance.

So why was it evil to count the population? (former Xian, current agnostic here).
