What Is God? 

Sometimes I think that I'm only here to make a five senses experience and that's all. Sometimes I think that my presence in the world is a big sham. Sometimes I hope I'm going to wake up from my own nightmare but that goes on unabated. I feel that God tells me about love but I'm still single and frustrated. It wasn't in my destiny to be a mother. Why ? Why wouldn't I ever know what It is to be called Mum ? Does God need me for this ? Solitude? Not knowing what It is to be called Mum ? Has it something to do with past lives experiences? I've been wondering since I started my self inquiry 2 years ago. God is mute sometimes. Does he feel ashamed sometimes? Perhaps he should. It's what I say. He should. But I contradict myself sometimes or perhaps God answers me through this question. Would have you been able to take care of a child ? Isn't It rather a societal matter that you wanted to follow like a sheep but deeply inside you , you've got the truth. It's all about truth and the rest is a cry for an help. Yes maybe. I give him the benefit of the doubt. It's what he says me. You are not a sheep and I didn't want you to mingle with a societal project. Not yours. Yes maybe God. Maybe. Hope he has predestined for me a specific person to love. Hope is meaningless. The word in itself inspires me pity. But It helps still to pursue my destiny out of curiosity. I think God himself hasn't got a specific plan. He is himself his own guinea pig through us in his big laboratory he struggles to manage. He is not more than me. It's me who feeds him and he'd better feed me well too in return. We feed one another until the end of this stupid game in the physical body. I don't believe in evil. The evil is not a person like God. It's the diabolos that God has created to make our existences more complicated and at the same time interesting in self inquiry. We humans have got lots of psychological problems to fix and therefore God has also lots of psychological problems too. Maybe like we do he should take an appointment with a good psychiatrist. Need help God? Don't be shy to ask for an help. When you want. I'm available to listen to you. Does my guardian angel speak to me? Sometimes he pops up snippets of information and It is manifested. Sometimes I feel that he pushes me to behave in a way I couldn't imagine. Weird. Everything is weird anyway. I'm Jewish ( not having been raised in a religious family ) and I would like to say that as a Jew, I feel very very very difficult to identify God as a good someone because when I remind the Hitler's purpose, namely as Jewish everyday, It is and will remain impossible. Thank you.

@@idaloup6721 Shalom I’m Christian but I hope I can help you. If there is one great thing that God can help us with is that we mature in our being. With that in mind, a mature person becomes mature by forgiveness. With forgiveness we get a better grasp of reality and are able to deal with our weakness better than was otherwise the case. When we tell ourselves something without the competence of understanding it’s reality, then we have gone too far, beyond that reality. Competence is skill and knowledge and is something we learn throughout our life and to be an adult without competency means it is harder to deal with the reality’s around us. There is no human who is wiser than God. So look to Him for the wisdom of life and not our own wisdom. Peace to you.

Salam rabbi Manis God ... Indefinite form of noun In the form of idea . Not specified, root word, From Qur'an grammar. When we talk to atheist . They will ask . Which God ? Meaning tooo many gods. Kalimah syahadah No gods only Allah. Meaning gods does not exist at all. Only Allah is the lord and the servant to HI's slaves. Laa Haulawa.... Billah Allah HU Robbi Allah is a name to HU HU is the divine essence ( beyond our logic) Robbi is the attribute to HU.

@@rossanderson5243 Thank you 🙏 I don't make any difference between the wisdom of life and my own wisdom. I fail to see how It is possible to separate both. There's no life outside mine. I am the life and the world I navigate in is my own daily manifestation in my reality. "The" reality doesn't exist without the meaning I give it and to me there's no meaning. A story eclipses another one without a specific meaning. The only wisdom I can have is in the letting go, the non resistance, the acceptance of what is. I believe that the Jews before being killed by the nazis were in the acceptance to die in the atrocity. The wisdom to me is a form of weakness, an apathy that the analytical consciousness builds over time to make one's experience of the matter more acceptable. But if we are not in a cotton candy spirituality we can all observe that the maturity of the being in the forgiveness of I don't what because of course I can't forgive someone who didn't apologize , is helpless in the unfoldment of our own destiny. And if someone can tell me how we gain in maturity in undergoing an amputation for example or end up in a hospital bed in a vegetative state, hatsoff to this person. I don't buy into a cotton candy spirituality with a wise God. As long as we live with the veil of forgetfulness we'll all be living in the low vibration of this dimension of predation with suffering. Thank you. Have a nice day. Christians, Jews, Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, atheists. We are all in the same boat, that of ignorance of our destiny because of course nobody builds one's destiny. Everybody lives a destiny that is already done. A big thought for the refugees in Paris who are treated less than a dog. Thank you God for your wisdom 😉

@@idaloup6721 I’m sorry but I am unable to see how your forgiveness relies on someone else to apologise? Bad things happen; unfair things happen, and if we can’t forgive these situations, they dominate us. What you focus on is where you put your energy. Your direct environment is where your energy probably needs to be, that you can have an effect on that in a positive way.

He concentrated on preaching unlike Rabbi Tovia Singer who was obsessed with stopping Christianity.

Hitches said anething in that context? dont think so..

Shalom 🌹

Rabbi. I am not Jewish, but am looking for an answer, why I lost my grandchildren thru a horrible divorce. The father turned our grandchildren against the family, including their Mother. God needs me? I need him. Any answer why? Thank you, Rabbi

Blessed are you precious lovely Father I am lining more from you 🙏

Many thanks for enriching my life with such relevant teachings everyday...

@@yeshazion4098 yes look within 🙏 am a muslim too am lookng for GOD meaning the Real GOD not the one religiously sold 🙄 am trying to understand my creator. 🙏

Same im a muslim as well

@@resetmodeon5254 my suggestion is to learn russian and then to listen to the lectures of "Гейдар Джемаль". He knew Quran better than anyone else and he could explain it in a way similar to modern philosophers do. One of his key points is the definition of consciousness. Consciousness is the point that is not equal to anything else. This concept is derived from Ibrahim's monolog when he tested if God is a star, a sun or a moon. Then Ibrahim said: "My God doesn't change". But to be something or someone who doesn't change He has to be different from anything that ever existed or will exist in the future.

You have it in the Quran sura 112 if you are a Muslim and his 99 name to describe Him

Asalam Aleykum, from a jewish friend.

The problem is it’s not allah who he is discussing. the God he is discussing has a Spirit engages with his creation an d enters it repeatedly

Pugley Bahookee no problem- there’s only one God (with many names and descriptions) 😁

Roman Y Shalom my friend 😁🙏

Asaalam alikom! I’m a revert to Islam and I also love this! Allah is 1!

I take a view of the secular scholar Mr. Rabbi Manis some of his incorrect teachings of [Allah] God, it will be necessary to say something of the two sciences by which all disputed questions among intelligence are determined their Scholastic and Practical Divinity. The scholastic view of Mr. Manis made up of a mongrel science, consisting of logical metaphysical, theological, and philosophical disquisitions, and built on principles and methods of reasoning very different from what is used by those who pass among the orthodox Jews, or Muslims for the sounder divines and, therefore, in the partition of the sciences the secular scholastic view is generally left out, as unworthy a place among Believers. The traditionists have labored to expose the principles and systems of the secular scholastic view, as frequently repugnant to the nature of the world and the order of the creation, and intolerably absurd. Quran 2;96 And you will surely find them [Jews] the most greedy of people for life - [even] more than those who associate others with [God] Allah. One of them wishes that he could be granted life a thousand years, but it would not remove him in the least from the [coming] punishment that he should be granted life. And Allah is Seeing of what they do.

@@sultanmahmood6396 bro im Muslim and this kind of mentality is the reason why people are turning away from religion and overall God as a whole

I agree, even though some things are hard to ? come to terms with, GOD is infinately creative, you bet I want to know Him better🌻😍 thankyou Rabbi

@@spartanthorn4784 I would like to have a discussion with you as we are both unto God students in truth, are we not? I’m merely a man yet to understand that there is something greater than us both, we can agree upon I’m sure. Will you take a walk in truth with me unto a higher understanding?

777 LOGOS Yes I believe in God I believe he’s the all powerful the all knowing and no one is greater or equal other than God

God created this universe out of atoms and molecules that are obedient to God in their formation, movement, and interactions and still so. Looking to the movement of life without regard for the deeds of God is a mistake that must be corrected. I am a muslem from Saudia Arabia if this make sence. Good Muslems are looking to man safety in this universe , and to help make paradise the final station of our journey in the universe.

GOD bless you sam .

without any single soul, every other soul is incomplete.

@sharp mind IT IS UNJUST TO LOOK TO MUSLIMS AND DID NOT LOOK TO ISLAM , READ THE QURAN THE LAST REVELATION FROM ALLAH TO HUMANITY .

Nice to see peaple from another religion accept and dont have ego. Bravo sam!

How did his lecture hit you? He says God needs while the correct thing to say God WANTS, not he needs. If God needs then he is incomplete and not a God. I have never seen such arrogance like in that rabbi. It is a total blasphemy and nonsense.

khalid9999k well then desire also comes from the ego. Since God is perfect he has no ego therefore no desire. We should understand no matter how we try to describe God it will never be precise because the language is limited tool! Thanks ❤️

​@@user-vi2uc1pz8c our flesh father is our father?? But the Truth God is our real Father, because without Him, there isn't a man (Adam). God is the Truth in our parents body who form us to be a man. Ovum and sperm contain the Truth. And He gives His spirit in us, to gives us life. Our mother and father are only "statues", they are only dust. They can't make and give us life. Only stupid person who honor his/her flesh father without honor Father who give him/her life.

I agree. I feel so much better about life.

God Bless You Rabbi - Amen

Greetings from london uk Rabbi, I am 65 years old and i became a Christian about 12 years ago. I have never heard teachings such as yours with such depth and inspiration. Thank you very much

Nothing is without The Knowledge of G-d, Nothing is a Surprise to G-d. G-d has no beginning or end and only if we open our eyes do we see what's always been there. We are His Property and we belong to Him, even if we don't believe or not He still is.

I am an Indian pls tell me what name which name we should call GOD how to talk with him

Rabbi. You are here to serve God. The living climb to life because death is painful. Once you are born god gives you your destiny. So it’s not like we are totally free.

God or G-D, god is for idolatry, just letting yuknow

GOD bless you my friend

God has spared me from myself, and I agree God is good all the time.

You’re very blessed be be careful... you are right god is good all the time, so if god had not saved you he would still be good. We have to accept god is good even when things don’t seem to go our way. This is very difficult sometimes for everyone.

@@alexandereisen3486 , I know. It's really hard to believe in God when you're going through hard times. However, you need to find the strength and hope in God that He'll get you out of it.

To me God deserve all praises is always so good to me regardless of my sinful life. I praise , thank you ABba Almighty!

@@manisfriedman Amen 🙏 Thanks Rabbi again for sharing your beautiful and intelligent Teaching with us. Speaking wisdom to mind and love to spirit. God bless you

You should hear the Rabbi's teachings on love as i dont think he shares your view. I too am a Christian but i believe his understanding . I think his teachings are much deeper and real than much Christian teaching and understanding today. The stuff that passes for Christian teaching these days is very shallow specially that which is coming out of the US and the Uk which is where i am from.

Question how is God love? If God is 3 in the Father the son and holy spirit Why do I say this? For love to exist it needs to be shared and God is perfect without man or Angel so the trinity 3 in 1 this means God is LOVE In same way man an woman become one flash! If you love God keep his commandments?

@@johnraymond1861 Do you really love God or do you just fear Him? It is the same with sin do i really want my sin nature to be removed or do i just want the consequences of my sin to be removed? The Rabbi is spot on about love. He says do not marry for love. You marry the person because you want to be with that person because they mean your existence becomes a life eventually and hopefully some love will flow from that sometimes. To marry because you want to feel or be in love is the wrong motivation. Getting back to what this guy posted how do you worship in love?

@@johnraymond1861 Hello again i have to admit i was dead when Christ lifted me up when i was 53 and i have been a pretty committed Christian since then 12 years ago. That said and i am sad to say it because it shows how shallow my faith is and perhaps double minded but listening a lot to the Rabbis Torah teachings over the last few days particularly on the nature of God and also his videos on how the concept of love has become idolatrous in the west have led me to question my Christian faith. I dont question the Torahs teachings at all. It is confusing for me as the depth of the knowledge that comes from thousands of years of Torah study simply cannot be compared with what passes for Christian teachings which pale in comparison. Modern evangelical Christian teaching resembles a bazaar and bizarre circus most often and i think of things like Todd Bentley and all that crowd and all the prosperity brigade.

ric david if you feel this way could be you have a Jewish soul searching for Jewish wisdom Once you feel the spark it will take you to further learning

@Morne Terblanche Your god must not be spirit.

he sounds like a kindergarten teacher teaching four year old's

and framing Religion.

But God in a way is dependant on us too. He is giving us commandments for a reason, he needs us to be a way for a reason. If we give him his "food", he gives us our "food". Without us, he can't have no "food"

@@thomasranjit7781: Christianity and its "New Testament" did NOT come from God, Creator of the universe. Do some honest research on the origins of your false, pagan, man-made, anti-God, anti-Jewish, hate-filled, replacement theology religion FOR YOURSELF, and you will discover, as we have that it has ZERO to do with what God said to us on Mt. Sinai! When God gave us His Torah, He told us it is ETERNAL (i.e. STILL in effect today!) and that we are NOT to follow ANY OTHER TEACHING than what is in His Torah. Christianity IS another teaching, therefore, we are NOT to follow what its false pages teach! PLEASE do the research, and continue listening to what the rabbis are saying - they are teaching us God's Truth, as given to Moses on Mt. Sinai!

On the topic of the commandments... I worship many deities. I can't help it. God made me this way. 🙁 Why??? (If God only wants us to worship him, why am I drawn to other [additional] deities?) I also am inclined to use idols to represent God/my gods. Why???
