I want to know everything..really enjoyed this as after my mother died ..I asked god what's the purpose in evil ..and I came across this teaching ..I feel so blessed
He makes many points that seem so obvious but never occurred to you before. It is a compliment to be hated, for example. The things that are hardest for us to notice are right before our eyes. It is like the glasses you wear. They are so immediate that you don’t notice them.
Im Roman catholic and read part of the Torah .and the old testiment, The best parts of the bible are in the old testinent. job genesis psalms Interesting to listen to you Rabbi, its like a charachism absent in the catholic church
Evil is the challenge to us.. the wall (yehtzer Harah) we push against.. being the tool that triggers us to mount our focus/energy against the great pressure to succumb to the evil.. the result... growth in strength & joy. Then we are faced by another pressure/evil ( even if similar to past). Where we mount our focus & energy, but afterward we understand ourself & G-d more clearlymay even understand
At 21:20 ‘ if we see evil . Does that mean we have some in ourselves that’s why we recognize it? Should that than be our challenge to cancel that force in ourselves in order to evolve spiritually.? If that is a possibility, I am lead to think God created each one of us with the amount of evilness we , individuals, meant to have in our lives for a better good/ spiritual evolution.
@1:44:15 About Aaron's silence: "There are some tragedies so overwhelming that you can't say anything... words do not help... The pain was too big for words, or it wasn't necessary."
Mankind is what God meant to save...whom God meant for Holiness. If man has no way to prove himself worthy of God's blessing, why then does man even exist? We are evil because we must be tested. Life is a pass or fail test... Good luck!
God is light, God is good Evil is darkness which is the absence of light, evil is ignoring or rejecting God's will according to our free will. Evil is defined as something bad in relation to an absolute moral, God being the absolute moral. Evil is simply something that serves to God's purpose of showing us how good He is and how miserable we are without Him. On our own we cannot be good or do good, we are only capable of evil. None of us can ever be good because "the heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure". Only through God's will we are able to bring good to this world.
Dear Rabbi, where can one take your classes? I admire the way you explain. I read Genesis a few times and ponder upon all that written but now it makes sense. Thank you from the bottom of my heart
My comment does not refer to this study, but your study about - THE SOUL AND THE AFTERLIFE: WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE? I couldn't find any where in the Torah your explanation about this topic. However, I did find in the book of Ezekiel 18:4, and 18:9 the answer to this topic. Ezequiel 18:4 - behold all souls are Mine. Like the soul of the father, like the soul of the son they are Mine; THE SOUL THAT SINS, IT SHALL DIE. Ezekiel 18:9 - Has walked in My statues, and has kept My ordinances to deal truly-he is a righteous man; HE SHALL SURELY LIVE, says THE LORD GOD. In other this is a confirmation of heaven and hell.
"He who finds me, finds life". "He who misses me, injures himself." "He who hates me, loves death." The above is not a moral dilemma. It's simply a matter of closeness or distance from the light of the creator.. For something/anything/everything to exist it needs the conduit of it's opposite. Otherwise it would be impossible to measure anything. The world in all it's workings are inherently neutral. We color/create it as good and evil. What was the tree that Adam and Eve bit from to be exiled from the garden of eden? The tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Why would the knowledge of good and evil exile someone from paradise?"Who told you that you are naked".. The polarity of the mind, given by the serpent of mortality is what told them that they were naked(wrong, evil, lesser than, unworthy) after ingesting the poison of judgement.. Why are we the only creature dissatisfied with it's own existence? If we were satisfied, would evil 'as we know it' even exist?
The question for the rabbi is how do you serve God? Love the lord thy God with all they might and all your soul and likewise love your fellow man and all of creation. Loving is serving God’s will. What is not from God cannot be loved. Who loves killing or stealing? Nobody because stealing is not something you can love.
The film of Rossellini “Europe 51” shows a woman passionate for goodness: she serve the poors with a“foolish “ devotion . Knowing the anterior films from Rossellini, It makes sense.
Opposite to Hitler's evil in the 20th century in my humble opinion was Gandhi. I know he wasn't Jewish but he carried through with the word of God and in that time, for just a man, he did amazing things because of the love of righteousness and God.
We are children of god. All is his creation, a small piece. We are cleansed and purified together and share in the glory of us rising and his creation rising. It is good because he is alpha and omega outside of time, most high because this comes to pass.
Of course if you don't love yourself you can't love the other. Self-love, self-respect. I would like you to compare for me next time self-love, and self-respect. Thank you, Shabbat Shalom. !!!!!!! .........
Rabbi in your preaching you said that God does sacrifice why can’t we? Is the sacrifice not evil in your opinion? Or is it we got it to learn from human?
I am born Jewish and have studied teachings from different areas including yogi teachings. And did you know Jesus was a Jewish rabbi? What I believe is the truth from what I compile from all different teachings is that we are all one. The reason why evil exists is because the human race has fallen. We used to live in paradise but due to bad behaviors we have developed over time, this negative energy has fed evil forces. As a human race most have put the material desires above love and compassion, empathy etc. And this is the reason why God allows evil. IT is there to bring havoc into our lives so that we turn away and run back to God. But God will allow this evil to come at us over and over until we encompass God like morals such as Love and compassion. AS a Jewish race many have worshiped the "Golden Calf" of materialism and have forgotten that we are spirit, or souls living in a body. Instead we think we are this body first and foremost. But we are soul and spirit only temporary in this body. We have put the wrong focus on life and that is why God allowed the holocaust. Jesus was a Jewish rabbi, named Yeshua. He was sent by God to save the Jews (and others) and teach them to love God, love love love and focus on compassion and do away with material focus. That way we would all ascend to the higher realms after death. Instead we are being caught in a reincarnation loop on this planet that is run in secret by evil forces who are mentioned in the bible. Yogi's can see past and future lives of people and know we are not getting off this planet after death, we go to a temporary respite called heaven, but we come right back here and reincarnate. And all these religions are manipulated by these evil forces to feed us false info and they can even use technology to change texts and Gods words etc. Jesus or Yeshua was the Jewish messiah to come and save us and if the Jews on average put love and empathy and spirituality first, then the holocaust would not have had the energy to happen. That is my belief after studying spiritual principals of different religions. IT is false to think of ourselves as the religion we are born into. According to yogi masters we are all reincarnated over and over and have lived lives in many different races and religions. They know as yogi's can see people's past iives. So we are all being enslaved on this planet by evil because the majority of us have forgotten our souls and have disconnected and have forgotten to love our neighbor as ourselves. This evil forces on this planet has changed all religions to keep us in the material world. IT's love that is the answer, everything is energy, and it's quantum physics. What you see in the world is what the energies of the human race are puttting out.
I am not completely agree with you Rabbi with your comparison. It is a huge subject I would like to further discuss with you in another time. It is about to be shabbat now I got to be ready. Shabbat Shalom!!
At 1:03:26 I believe God has given us a perfect world to live, where Light is abundant. Should that be the reason why we see darkness in it? And it is up to us to engage with it or not...depending on our level of weakness x strength?
To make them grow up according the satanic "Illuminati"! The purpose of existence of those monsters ripping the beautiful flower of purity from innocent toddlers, is to keep those sickos of "Illuminati" in power, by doing what they want!
If I knew the answer as to why an evil happened, then I'll be able to solve the problem xxx Find the cause and then it's like looking back in history so that we don't repeat the same problems xxx And to see what God Sees is to be in that brilliance that is incomprehensible to those who do not BELIEVE that NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE WITH GOD xxx Just as an example or two: a gun was held against my Father's Head and my Father asked God to stop the gun from working (or something like that), and my Father lived to tell the tale of how he walked away alive because the gun didn't work xxx And my experience: a man had told me he was going to murder me, and I fought as best as I could and I asked God not to kill me because I knew that the next blow would be deadly to me - and though I had broken ribs, I still am alive! Evil is NOT OKAY, but the root reason WHY evil existed in MY life at that moment: I had become jealous and was attempting to leave the relationship with that man who had been chosen for me xxx I can't speak for my Father, but, there was a REASON, I'm sure xxx So, it is a balancing act for a person like me to LOVE GOD ABOVE ALL and manage my relationships with ManKind - male and female xxx We serve one another and we SERVE GOD ABOVE ALL , so our every action counts xxx It's not called THE TEMPLE (that space between one's ears) for nothing ... or maybe it is lol! xxx Yup, for me 'tis better to be nothing until I am animated by a GOOD REASON xxx
Justice is to readjust peoples activities in a life serving way, without punishing any one or even hate . It comes from will to live and to serve life and make life more wonderful then it is .
Evil exists, and will continue to exist. How else will GOD decide who is fit to be in HIS world.? HEAVEN is not for sale, it is only for the fittest, every birth you take.
so on the premise that when good or bad things happen to you, you can thank g-d that they do, because it might be a lesson for you to learn or to teach you, it might be something you need to see or change about yourself.....what should or shouldn't happen? we don't know everything, but god does......man's ways are not god's ways, we may never understand how god thinks, it's impossible in this human body & world
It is entirely possible. Never place limits on what can be achieved with the truth of your experience and true understanding. For good or for evil. See Hashem in all things.
;P Don't know why but we do know who. Isaiah 45:7 JPS Tanakh 1917 I form the light, and create darkness; I make peace, and create evil; I am the LORD, that doeth all these things.
In islam we believe evil exists or existed because of satan who was an angel then bacame satan after he turned against god and refused to bow down to adam (first human being). But i share this rabbi's perspective, after all, it's the plan of god that is happening here because he is the truth, everything comes from him. He wants or desires to achieve something.
I spent years asking God if I could get a human to help me fight the evil people I Know. from reading the bible I got the answer No. That there will be no other human. i pray for him to burn them alive, he so far has not. I read and ask him about the shafting and unfairness he answers in the bible let them keep thier inheritance. I didnt understand but trust in his answer as they are very rich and I have no pull against them. I cannot break Gods law and do evil or judgement against them, I wait for him. I am just starting to understand Inheritance within the last couple days from finding this Rabbi's channel.. inheritance is not the land ,money, houses and amount of Support they have on earth. Inheritance is also Gods Judgement. May he Judge Fairly...May He Judge Before I leave This Earth " in body" or Get To Old To Enjoy it..
That is why God sent His Son and through his Son to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace through him, through having his Son shed his blood by being executed on a stake.
The one who really love God cannot be gelous of the people who hate God or of the people who sin with passion. He maybe feel necesary to understand what makes the other to hate God and to help him go out of that problem, if the first cares. I cannot accept rabbi's understanding about this.
Lief was the Word I was supposed to place after Wife. still not proficient with the written Word. grammar and punctuation are, some where between I know what a full stop and an apostrophe are.
what about job in the bible?....perfect example of devout man who was plagued by lucifer & only for the reason that he was a devout man & because lucifer thought he could sway his opinion of g-d & change him. example of how sometimes things are not what they seem. ty for the video
You speak of Jewish people, I am not Jewish, or any religion, I seek love to help all. I don't understand why Jewish people only? The mentioned, as from you "Jewish people" why? You too feel pain, I too. Why is this? You have the same blood, others believe, I am created as you are. So why, only Jewish people?
evil is in truth vile. the beginning e goes to the end of the word. and a problem is to blame someone else for your creation. or to solve / fix / heal it
Evil began in Heaven ,(Sin) By of Course Luicpher ,He Sent out of Heaven with 2 /3 of the Angels that he had Created .I have been trying to figure out what ,why are we here on this Earth when is he coming ,Death does not scare me ,Leaving the people I Love Behind that need me and that is it! I think the answer has been right in front of me all this time ,When Luicpher was Cast Down ,2 /3 of the Angels were too casted down ,Now how dumb can I be not to see ,I was one of those Angels Casted out of Heaven And now I'm put to a test to see if I actually belong back in Heaven ,Giving all the Angels a Chance Why Because they were decified, How can God let us know that we were those Angels if we are in a test it would be to easy for us if that was true and why are we here and not once we're we Belonged ,Think How Many souls ever exsisted he must have found what he was looking for by now after a zillion ,So this to me makes a lot of Common Sense. Why else would he make us go through this world alone and a life long test we did something wrong and that's it ,Maybe we did something wrong now we need to do it right
בן הי הי אומר לפום צרע אגרא. . Your reward will be proportional to your hardshipThat is the ‘compensation for enduring evil and suffering in the name of Hashem.
We're my people come from I looked and searched and found out that we come from old Asia which now is called Turkey ,this is were we come from the Language I speak is older then what the Jewish people speak now ,My ways are straight from the old testimony till today we follow them are rules ,Why they say we come from India is a total lie we were talked about in India,We Ran to India because we were being presucuted for some reason unknown to us are Language has a few other words we picked up because we couldn't speak are language in front of people. Because we were being presucuted for who we were. ,Till today we do not want out siders around us any one who is not Us then they are out siders Unclean disrespectful ,till today all of are people have this deep need for God ,We are Lost People till today who follow the old Testimony and we are kosher outwardly not inwardly ,To us we have to keep are Temple Kosher. I don't want to say we are the lost tribe but all things point to this assumen that we are ,Why do we follow the old Testimony why we killed in The Holocaust by the Millions 6 million died. We do not marry out side are race. We have tribes till today we have so much in common with Hebrew The old Hebrew we are one of the lost tribe but no one wants to do DNA test. Which was done and found we come from Old Asia Turkey. Iraq well that all folks got to finish cleaning
I listen to very very carefully,, I love to tell you a story but it’s none of it is a story something beautiful about the tabernacle,, Something beautiful beautiful absolutely no words but I’m never going to have a cuppa coffee with you or tell you the story ,,,
Someone who is a Rabi, filled with knowledge and sharing the enlightenment from his interpretation or opinion as you say, is not dangerous when it brings people closer to accepting God's plan and embracing all that is good and bad. I personally find him refreshing.
What is evil? Here is your answer. Humans and Mankind are two different life forms . Humans are the original beings of this earth and Mankind is a type of human created or a Man-kind 2.0 created by visitors to this earth. The evil comes from the DNA of the creators when they mixed their DNA with human DNA. The creators are not God but creations of God. Recall all the judgments of God which required Jacob to kill all the inhabitants of certain cities and villages. Why? because these people were the direct descendants of these creators. Religion is a way for us to explain why there is good and evil in the world with actual events that took place. Now Rabbi Mannis comes and tells us how to deal with this evil in a more modern diplomatic way. Don’t kill them,Sue them. Nature is a natural process. Those people who have compassion , feelings of empathy are or have more human DNA than others. People with more Mankind DNA are people who have very little compassion or empathy. These people are pure evil. Look some of the leaders in the world past and present maybe even people you know. What is evil? There is your answer. Rabbi Mannis is a wonderful man speaking from a religious point of view , but the reality of what has actually happened will always be true. The past always proves the present.
Everything can be answered by accepting that the god of the Bible is evil. That’s why he didn’t want Adam and Eve to eat from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. That explains the persistence of evil everywhere at all times.
There is no such a thing as "bad things happen for good people" Would you please wake up from that suggested to you imagination and see life as it is when we do something that serves our needs we celebrate life . It would be boring if we succeed every time .... The only why for sure to know, if that was what you need, is to actually do it, and it is wise to follow guidance of our ancestors what ever is given with love with intention to serve life from family in generations that’s the real path . Not some men with the book , To judge is a sin, that cause suffer, its missing the point in life, it is from the mark of our ancestors. 'Tend to the garden where you can touch' Make life more wonderful, then it is and not less, that what grand mamas wispier to their grand kids to the ears . We show to kids how to enjoy life together considering everyone’s needs by living like that in family that was in a family before and it was natural normal way of living and anything less then that was considerate as very cloudy event and people always knew how to solve it by restoring activities in a life serving way for everyone involved finally everyone feel relived and usually end with celebration
Six thousand years of misery, millions upon millions of the killed and you still claim that the “boss” is good. If that situation is the fruit of “the good one”, what does the fruit of “the evil one” looks like? Instead of hours of impossible searching to justify and understand what is unjustifiable, here is a simple explanation - The God that creates both evil and good is both good and evil, or neither good nor evil (it is the same thing). I myself thank him for both. For the good things and help he gets the kisses, and for sabotage he gets reproach. What is evil you ask. It is something that destroys, hurts and causes suffering. Lion and gazelle are the part of en evil eating chain. The plants do not kill to eat. They eat minerals, and that is a system that is not evil. This planet - the lowest world of all is a place of punishment and it is meant that it contains difficulties. Difficulties equals bad things, and they happen constantly. But the people were expelled to live there, not to be exterminated. Extermination is one of the additional burdens and definitely evil. In the case of Sodom God did intervene. It is the proof that he can if he will. Then, what is the cause that animals and plants suffer? They have never sinned. To judge God is not arrogant. To be afraid of judging him is cowardice. If we are not qualified to judge, than we are not qualified to love either. “God finds evil necessary” why, is he not omnipotent? “Evil has something powerfully” Should God not be the master of all the power that is? “There is a purpose for holocaust” yes in the same way with the slaughterhouses and cattle.
