Very interesting 21:30 i see the idea of 10 becoming 100, but the foundational number of expansion is 2 and 2 becomes 4 and 8 and we see this reflected in the evolution of the zygote into an embryo and into a full human, where it splits into 2 cells then 4 etc. and becomes a complex harmonious functioning human being. I have a lecture which gives many many examples of this fractal like expansion emanating ultimately from God at the source of it all. Interestingly you can use his idea of 1 becoming 10 and 100 where the 1 is ever-present just with extra zeros (hinting at even after the creation there is only God) in my example of 2,4,8... as this is a binary progression which using just ones and zeros wher 2 is actually 10 and 4 is 100 etc. so the same idea is with the binary evolution. Very elegant!
Is that connected with the idea that the Torah starts with the letter beit, which is the 2nd number, indicating that this world is based on 2. Which lecture are you referring to of yours?
@@auntiesrbh Yes that is the fundamental idea, the great maharal explains that 2 is the letter which begins the word bracha blessing, as with 1 there cannot not be any change or other beings besides the one God, but with bes-2 there is a place for blessing and multiplicity which allows other things to exist. About the lecture it is the one with quintessential paradigm in the title. Hope you enjoy it!
My only wish is that the video were edited so that the audio were loader. It was difficult to listen to it with my limited speakers. Haha! But thank you so much for this video! Very enlightening. ^_^

@@christianityisunstoppable4155 BRAINWASHING VS REALTY. THE JEWS CREATED JEHOVAH IN 950, BUTTERCUP. CHECK FACTS, FREAK. DRINKING SPIRITUAL KOOL-AID IS FUN, BUT TEENS NEED SOBER ADULTS - NOT RUBES. EH KIDS?
Albert Einstein was a Jew and the greatest genius of Physics since Isaac Newton. Einstein implied we could believe in the creation story allegorically in harmony with evolution. The Big Bang Theory is in seamless harmony with the "Let There Be" statement in Genesis. I don't see any contradiction.
Most Jewish people are taught that Jesus is only for Gentiles. This sentiment isn’t surprising. Growing up, a lot of Jewish people are taught that Jesus is only for Gentiles. Moreover, if a Jewish person decides to follow Jesus, the Jewish community considers them converts to Christianity. At one point in history, such people were considered apostates-lost to the Jewish community, or even to their own families. For a Jewish person to consider faith in Jesus, he or she must consider the social stigma they will face from friends, family, and the larger Jewish community. Would a rabbi ever agree to marry them? Would they ever be allowed to make aliyah? Would they be prohibited from joining a synagogue? These are the implications many Jewish people face when considering Jesus. Jewish followers of Jesus acknowledge the cultural obstacles and painful historical facts surrounding his identity, but there are still many reasons that drive them to believe that he is the Messiah. First and foremost, most people who come to follow Jesus, Jewish or not, have a personal encounter with God that changes their lives. As a result, Jewish people who have this experience can’t help but passionately embrace both their faith and their heritage. Until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or serif shall ever pass away from the Torah. Recognize that Jesus was born to Jewish parents, was raised in a Jewish home in Israel, observed the Torah, and taught the nation of Israel as a rabbi. His teachings were not an attack on Judaism, but rather an authoritative, intelligent interpretation of the Torah and a critique of a religious system that was corrupt during his day: “Do not think that I came to abolish the Torah or the Prophets! I did not come to abolish, but to fulfill … until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or serif shall ever pass away from the Torah … whoever keeps and teaches them, this one shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven” (Matthew 5:17-19). Following Jesus's teachings is a continuation of the Jewish faith, not an abandonment of it.
@@honeybear200 SO BRAINWASHING MAKES DUMBFUCKS MORE SILLY? IS IT THE HOLY WATER ENEMAS, FILLED WITH BENEDICTINE BRANDY, BUTTERCUP? OR THE EXCITEMENT OF BLEEDING CHOIRBOY ANUSES - POPPING LIKE CHAMPAGNE CORKS, PRINCESS?
@@honeybear200 you will be charged for every single crime. Jesus (Isa) was not a jew, nor did he follow judiasm. I will have any person who falsely claims that my father had even a billionth of an atom in him. He is Roman, as is his mother...you jew liars are going to discover how aggressively I will pursue legal action against that disgusting lie. To say my father is jewish is a complete lie and the most insulting thing to me. Congratulations...you've got yourselves a big powerful enemy...me. Oh and guess who my mother is? She's Greek...she came from a well-to-do family with paid staff. And she comes from quite an advanced people...they didn't succumb to any misfortune, they just and continued to mix with what we now know are Europeans, Africans, Arabs and native indigenous peoples. But not any jews or south asians. You were rejected by God, the Earth and the universe right from the beginning. 🤣🤣🤣
So modern Jewish theology of creation denies the literal six days of creation as outlined in the Bible? This means that they do not believe Moses either. Who is right? Modern Jewish thought or the everlasting Word of the Almighty?

The point of designing is that it has a purpose. I beg to differ, but it just makes sense that God definitely has a purpose. Let's reverse engineer...Human comes from the word hummus or earth...dirt...from ashes to ashes. Not a single celled oceanic organism.... God created everything with the Word (as do we with our own personal world via autosuggestions). His was direct and as powerful as parting the red sea, by Passover: God speaking through the stuttering former prince of Egypt, Moses...backing him up with plagues, ultimately God sending the angels of death for all (mostly:Egyptians) firstborns and all the households with no blood of the lamb stained at the door. Everyone was warned given this info (including the Pharaoh) and whoever believed and followed were saved from this last plague. The death of the Pharaoh's firstborn was the ultimate reason why the Jewish slaves were released. He found out Who Moses' God is like. Not until after. God does not compromise those who has relationship with Him. And how quickly humans forget...why? Because we are weighed down by this dirt body. An explosion does not create an airplane...an airplane is designed for a purpose. Therefore, I personally do not feel humans have no purpose. God is an omniscient magnificent, and careful designer Who has a purpose for each CREATURE. Why do we have this word? Why does it not say for each "explosion beings" or for each bang beings?! If one wishes to understand more of the One Who Created...reverse engineer via etymology. I found this video trying to understand why there are Hebrew expressions in Tagalog. (Aba, Halaka, and Tela)Presently, there are hardly any Hebrew speakers there. Why??? And some of the Philippine mountains have names in Hebrew. I have an idea from what I observe. But this is not the topic, I know. Just thinking and sharing my own thoughts on God and my seeking of Him. God is a God of order. He created such beauty in variety, many facets...many dimensions. But He is in charge of all dominion. I speak this with love towards you, another child of God. Going back to Genesis...God spoke everything in existence...but when it came to humans...in His image, he used His hand to create the first born like a sculpture...then, He breathed on him. (The more we take deep breaths, the faster the recovery for healing, thinking clearly, etc.) This is why we are not only organic beings but also, we are very much "charged" to create stuff. Like our Abba Father. Know who you are to God. The apple of His eyes. I know, I have children so I how that feels. Hopefully, all of my humanly possible intentional action has the purpose to make children feel my love and protection as much as I can give them. Those are the things I can control as a parent, my intentions. Then, there are situational variables x, y and z. I can tell them about Yeshua...but its up to them. To pursue them is to first pursue the One God Who can see all hearts' varying conditions of my children. I also want tovteach them the golden ratio or mathematical formula for beauty: a/b=(a+b)/a has the word ABBA as God as a close, beloved Father. In music, in prayers, in languages, in babies cries...there are reasons to meet. He likes matters well defined. 😍🌸 I love u with your very unique dna which each has God's impression in its every code.
I took a class in philosophy proper. There are alot of ideas and d concepts debate and argued. Aristotle gave us formal logic and David Hume threw it away when he became convinced this methodology falls into solipsism. We can't do modern science to get knowledge it has to be given to us from one outside the system. Don't fall for there dialectics there is no justification for the superstitions of modern science or scholastics. I'm not convinced of Orthodox Christianity but they give good reasons for the truth of Torah and the mistakes people make with inductive reasoning.

Stop believing that all your Jewish friends and family are going to hell, and that your ancestors are already there. Then, maybe Jews will take you more seriously.
What does Eli Elisha mean when said together? Does anyone know what this means, because I had a dream saying these words while looking up in a house that had the heavens for a roof. Also in this dream, there were wicked men getting ready to kill little ones, and when I saw this, I took off my hat and looked to the heavens and said "Eli Elisha" and then there was a great sound afterward. If you are of Hebrew-Jewish nationality, what does this mean?
Eli Elisha (Hebrew: אלי אלישע) could be translated as: "my God, God of salvation" or "my God, the God is my answer / the God who has answered me" I hope that helped 😇
I don't know what juice or just believe you talking about the religious Jews believe in every word of the Torah that is true and accurate of course you need to learn what's the meaning of every word in the Torah and it's not always like the kindergarten children understand in fact there is no conflict between any theory of the creation of the world and the Torah so if you think there is a conflict that's mean that you didn't learn the Torah deeply as you should and by the way the Torah is there Jewish Bible and the explanation of every low and commandment that God give to Moses
The amount of time it took the universe to where it is now is arbitrary not one scientist in the world as given the probability for their theory being correct
YHWH is the greatest scientist, architect and designer any living sentient entity will ever have the pleasure to know .... the more science tries to disprove , the more glory it gives to the most high .... quantum physics proves that HE is in all places at all times ... before the beginning and after the end ... the universe's entire existence is nothing but an infinitesimal slice of time in suspended animation to him... and is an eternity for us
Cengiz efe pretty broad question .... I know he was a holy man, a prophet: but he was a man .... he was not YHWH , even though he was given power , in the same way that Moses was given power. I do not believe in the Roman Catholic dogma for one second. I do believe he was the one prophesied to come . I do believe he was the greatest teacher. I do believe he hid wisdom in word play firstly so as not to bring authoritarian attention to himself and secondly to make people reflect on his statements to find the truth. I think that the passage of time and the changing of language has obfuscated all of the bible in translation as the Hebrew language is not just words, but paints a picture in one's mind thru reading, which again, gets lost in translation. And I do think the apocryphal was left out of Catholic Canon for a reason, especially Enoch. the book of Enoch shows that man can have a DIRECT relationship with YHWH without the church as mediator ... th Catholic church has turned the Messiah and it's cross into a perverted selling point for their religion ....Sun worship
@@lloydmunga4961 Interesting response indeed. I am trying to put forth some information but am in doubt that the many/majority still won't be able to comprehend it at the time, I see only a few have ability for what I wish to show , not even the top colleges, university's etc.. can comprehend the level of knowledge I wish to share. May I ask what you would do if you had unprecedented knowledge that needed to taught?

Just my humble opinion hope it can be helpful. Perception and frame of perception in relation to time. Is useful for diagnosis. A cell grows and multiplies from one, the big bang originated at one point. We are allowed multiplicity for the sake of growth and understanding. Quantum physics science of religion more or less. Guiding without forcing, Loving without coddling, Creating without trying, Patience without negligence.
He said Kabbalist, but at first I thought he said Capitalist. For a brief moment, I was confused. Then, for a longer moment, I was entertained at my own foolishness.
Don't feel bad, I gave a whole lecture once where someone asked me at the end why I was talking about Capitalists. From then on, I used the alternative pronunciation: kah-BAHL-ist. Confusion problem solved!
Christians do not believe that the Word was created, we believe that the Word is God and therefore eternal. It would be illogical of God's nature if He had to create the Word.

Greetings to everyone in the name of our LORD- Shalom. What about considering The New Testament's teaching about Jesus Christ: "The next day he saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!"(John 1:29)? Is not Jesus the fulfillment (& substance) of all the "shadows" of OT Temple sacrifices for the atonement of the sins of the people? (cf.: Luke 24: 45 & ff> Then he opened their minds so they could understand the Scriptures. 46 He told them, “This is what is written: The Messiah will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day, 47 and repentance for the forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. ) Praying for you and hoping you will consider these Holy Scriptures...
The book of Hebrews in the NT is an INSANELY Jewish book. Read it in the CJB English version for the most Jewish book in the whole Bible (Torah and New Testament).
The Word (Logos) of God is Messiah, Jesus of Nazareth. "...by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: And he is before all things, and by him all things consist." Rejecting Jesus Christ leads to confusion, delusion, mad ramblings and reprobation.
@@jde1757 It was Trump that put the US embassy in Jerusalem and therefore recognised Jerusalem as being the capital of Israel, but you were right. Only 24% of Jews voted for Trump in 2016. But Trump increased the Jewish vote to 30% in 2020.
16:00 What a confused, rambling mess. This man claims God is simultaneously the Word of God (but not the Logos of Christianity), then he also says that God is Being in a definition very much like Aquinas' *actus purus* (but still not the Logos), then he says God is a process of forms of Being very much like Aristotle or the Neoplatonists (but still not the Logos because that's Christian and not his tradition). But not before he tries conforming the Judaism of the Hebrew Bible to the scientific revolution. This man has some reconciling to do before his thinking can be considered honest or sensible.
It is a little history of the changes in biblical interpretation as a result of the age of enlightenment . As related to the topic we see how the interpretation of a literal seven day creation or age of the universe has changed as inventions prove other ways to view the physical properties of nature and the cosmos. What do you think the topic is ? However this view of creation is not new to Judaism . Philo and many more Jews and christians Didn't believe in the literal creation as expressed in Greek or English Especially the Latin Vulgate which set the stage for the mistaken interpretation we see today.
