I'm a man, one of five kids. My Father left when i was four. If i had a father, or grandfather, like this Rabbi, i could have made a lot more of my life and family.....
Successful people don't become that way overnight. What most people see at a glance wealth, a great career. Purpose is the result of hard work and hustle over time. I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life.
Amazing !!! You are absolutely right, never taught it this way, now it all makes sense !!! Thank you for your brilliant teachings, Rabbi Manis Friedman and may Hashem bless you and your work !!!
@@shogunzftw7655 Oh, yes he is. He is not only my Teacher. He is my Brother. I KNOW he's a Child of God. You I don't know. It is your being that is in question, not Rabbi Friedman's.
We all have choices....if we have to live....then we have to eat and drink....otherwise we die..! Its that simple..! Playing with words and trying to justify your job with confusing sermons helps nobody....Logically we can only accept Logic...as Logic is truth....you can't twist Logic to try and make it fit into your own narrative as people will not understand....if it were Logical....then it would be understood..
Can you imagine!!!! I am almost 68 years old. Growing up in a Catholic/Mormon family, going to religious schools while being taught by intelligent Jesuits thru the 12th grade and this man in the space of less than half an hour made more sense to me than all the years of religious instruction I have ever had. Even as a six year old I questioned what I was being taught only to be told more learned men than me had already determined what I should think. I never accepted this and thus began a spiritual journey that I still continue to this day. Thank you for sharing your thoughts, I needed to hear you.
Same here, thanks for your comment, thought I was the only one in the struggle :) I also found the wisdom I was looking for with the help of Rabbi Manis Friedman
Awesome message now I know why I'm so Happy because I know that I am Needed I'm not needy I'm all right spinning time with my God alone just because you alone that do not mean that you not need it. Shalom😀🙏💜🕎🔯🌄🌿
Religion has separated but love and wisdom has as many patches as we will ever need to mend the human fabric. I am glad you Muslim like me, who is not listening without bias and being triggered by what sounds wise.

You are a good man your parents must be proud! We are all different but we are brothers thank you brother life worldly life is short much respect all the way from Australia
This is totally amazing to hear! I have always resisted religion and Christianity in general; because their dogma just comes across as totally rediculous! I have always thought of myself as being "spiritual" which gives me more comfort in walking and talking with God! Today your lecture has cleared up many of my questions and l don't have to argue a "point" with anyone....l believe you have simplified this whole process and understanding of God! Thank You!
So, if I may ask are you still spiritual or have you converted or thinking of converting to anything? Btw I am spiritual and continue to be spiritual because I never liked the idea of being in something where thousands of years in the past religion was used as a form to control civilizations. What matters is not to be in any form of religion, as long as a human is good and has a good heart and has not killed any other humans then that should be enough for our maker to receive us with open arms. 🙏
@@alexg.9279 Still Spiritual, that's all l can allow myself to embrace! Not looking to convert to any "religious" order or to "label" myself as anything other than Spiritual and a believer in God Almighty...just not in the way that religions want to manifest their beliefs.
I take a deep breath before pressing play when this guy speaks , sometimes I postpone it until my curiosity can't take it anymore , then I push play looking at how many minutes he is speaking ,and think how long will it take ,how long before his wisdom punches my ego square in the eye ,I never see it coming ,I can't anticipate it , I can't bob and wieve or duck out of the way , then I tell myself I deserve it , when I realized what I've been doing wrong ,and I don't mind being wrong
@@ancientknowledgereturn912 well then the question remains y God created the universe. Rabbi is right he has a need from humans an expectation from them. U fulfill his expectation and he grants u the world. That's what the rabbi means.
One creates a thing because he has a desire or need for it. U don't just create anything out of just urge to create it. That's y God send the manual and the examples to follow. Because he needs to see his creation in a certain way the way he want us to be. Not the other way around like the way we want to see God. He needs submission to him. That need is what is talked of here.
Revelation 4:11 King James Version 11 Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.
I think the answer is The lord God wants to spend time with us an have a personal relationship with us and that’s why we must follow His ways if we want that relationship .
My son is 5 years old. Sometimes he asks - do you need me? And he looks with such serious eyes and waits for an answer. It is very important for him to hear from me that I need him. This is the main thing for him.
God for christianity, as i understand, is not an indiferent being in heaven because the principle is that God gets Himself approachable for the simple reason He wants to get us free.
God is a feeling undeterminable but real. This feeling must be kept in our heart. We must live dough using our brain like animals do, naturally. Anything also is speculation!
God doesn't tell us to do things because he needs us but because he loves us . And because he loves us he set for us rules in life and then needs us to follow the rules . God needs noone and nothing he has already everything . He is the king .
We have a soul contract with god. We are in school on the earth learning to be a better people. Learning to follow the rules of god because We are part of god. There are demons and evil on this earth.. it’s weather we can avoid the temptations of the evil so we can find our way by ourselves on our on faith, back to god. We were given free will to do this. We are to love one another and to love all as we want to be loved.
Some of this was spectacular! God created creation out of His need. As a whole, it is flawless - without blemish. A process from simple to complex to completion. Is man not the living image of God; is it not a two way arrangement? Once the man realizes his elevated status within creation he removes all evil. Men shall choose good only. Know God. All anxiety is removed once the man realizes death being nothing more than the opposite of living. God did not talk in riddles to Moses. Blessed be God, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
Yes and no, because in order for Natural Man to have freedom, she must be influenced by both good and evil, therefore both good and evil must be in equilibrium in the natural world of this Earth, unlike the spiritual worlds of Heaven, where only good is possible, and unlike the spiritual worlds of Hell, where only evil is possible. And so, what is good and evil? becomes the question. And, of course, we know the answer: God is good united with truth, and the Devil is evil united with falsity. Hopefully, it is possible to see that the flawlessness of this arrangement is in the constant reformation of Man herself, since it is out of her that both Heaven and hell come forth.
@@richardleigh4003 You have some big misunderstandings in your comment, the main ones being that there is a hell and the devil or adversary as he is called is doing anything other than G-d's will, G-d couldn't say to adam and eve, go down into the world and elevate it for me, like they could have told Him no, He needed a go to guy so that we truly have free will, the adversary is G-d's servant, the devil you imagine is a fallacy created to give people something to blame their bad choices on
@@richardleigh4003 In order to succeed, to eat and to multiply, all living forms gather information from their surroundings that they then process to guide their activities. They sense and make sense which equals to being aware. All living forms are aware. However, the awareness of each form is limited physically to its biological equipment - its potential to collect data and to process it. As an example, a single cell form have a very minimal sensing and processing abilities generating a very minimal awareness in comparison to an orangutan that needs to make and memorize complex analysis of itself, and the environment - to be able to manoeuvre and to thrive. It is thus equipped with a complex sensory network and a brain to process it. It spends a whole decade teaching and passing wisdom to its offspring - how to ensure the continuity of its kind. A complex creature with such abilities need to self-regulate; to willfully follow a strict set of rules and disciplines. Human beings are the most advanced in many regard, unique in terms of awareness, granting great power and unmatched potential. A true free will. This power comes with an equal amount of responsibility. You alone move your hand, mouth and feet. You are a living image of God. Creation is a process from simple to complex, to completion, not an eternal battle of opposites. The opposites do not battle, they attract each other. There is only one God - one God only. Human form is made of matter and all forms are made alive by the spirit of God. Matter does not have any will by itself, it simply carries the unfiltered will of God. All matter, without error, fuse and combine with each other making all forms, and so obey the law with highest precision. They are holy. The same is true for all chemistry; atoms and their naturally occurring combinations. Single cell forms have some room to joggle, but still follow the law without exception. If the interaction of matter alters the phenomena (and thus the environment) they automatically adapt to new. More complex forms (animals) require more flexiblility - more freedom - so they can adapt. Man is the living image of God. The highest status among all that is created. In the beginning God created heaven and earth. This is not a riddle. Heaven is the space around earth - it is what we call 'universe'. Heaven is inside creation; God is not, He is outside. Man is His image, here, inside creation. It is truly a flawless design - full of breathtaking beauty. Rejoice. All attempts to escape creation arise from the ego that knows it can't survive the physical death of form. Fear is a good ally, but a terrible master. Your ego tries to convince you that your subjective self is important beyond everything and must eternally live on. And by all means necessary. It can invent and imagine literally anything. Artificial living too. But this all is a naive and self-driven fantasy creating essentially all that is suffering. In truth, death is the opposite of living, it is as essential to life as birth. Celebrate both. Only living forms are aware - dead forms simply cease to exist. You can't imagine being dead, because imagining is already being aware - being alive and that requires a body that has the physical ability to comprehend and to process such a concept. And that is a human body. The living and dying, the blessings and the curses, the reward and punishment all happen here, on earth. Where's hell?
@@allaspects2721 Well, there is certainly Heaven and Hell in the Spirit-realm. Without equilibrium between good and evil, there is no freedom, ergo: hell is as real as heaven ))
In one phase, God is Not-Know or Creation, then he switches to Know, which is the discovery of wisdom which brings god back full circle to realization of self.
He is right and so woke. Yes, finally the truth 🙌. Humans will never understand God. God is a powerful source for creation and healing of learning everything or experience. The expression of freedom and freewill is a great value into ascension. We are here to expand and grow as mind or consciousness. Humans are different for a reason. Rabbi thank you. 😊
god is the living god of nature and combines all souls in the good spirit which is linked to all living creatures and their accompanied microscopic creatures..
Thus man shows truth how to have a sincere relationship with God! ...and I pray many will hear from God! It's greater to trust in God then science ....but it's time for tears to turn to joy, I pray the time is sooner that God answers prayers from.the heart to show he is great and above science and space race....but it's God who can respond it's not human.opinion....
It's about the words whole relationship as we're made in its image, not the way we see the word and each other as separated. The whole relationship: G is an incomplete whole with one square angle drawn in. O is a whole. D is a split whole with two square angles drawn in.
Oh now! It takes a lot of faith to believe in anything ✨❤️✨. I needed you to see myself 😢. Please say a prayer for me I pray 😢. It’s people as you that could understand my feelings 😢. Please don’t forget and and pray for me! Sincerely 😢, Howard Buskirk
We have it all wrong? Religion is a personal thing! If some people would stop trying to control other people with their line of crap, life would be easier on this planet! Keep thy religion to thy self! Amen!
All our needs were met in Eden. God made you out of flesh so you could experience his greatness through the senses he gave you. Man became the envy of angels. 1/3 fell. They wanted what we had. Original sin happened, but God showed mercy towards men, so great was his love for us, the crown of his creation. You know the rest. He gave you a couple of chances to repent but you failed him. As a last measure God came down to Earth embodied in Christ to show us the truth path, the only path that leads to eternal life with him. Your King will come, the one you have been waiting for. The only difference is that for Christians it will be the second time around. This time he will come as a Lion, powerful and almighty, exactly as you expected him to be. Read between the lines. So the only thing you need is to dial down you EGO and open your heart, the Lord will do the rest. God bless you all from the bottom of my heart.
Not the first Rabbi to say this... “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear. 23 For life is more than food, and the body more than clothes. 24 Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them. And how much more valuable you are than birds! 25 Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to your life[b]? 26 Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest? 27 “Consider how the wild flowers grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 28 If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today, and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, how much more will he clothe you-you of little faith! 29 And do not set your heart on what you will eat or drink; do not worry about it. 30 For the pagan world runs after all such things, and your Father knows that you need them. 31 But seek his kingdom, and these things will be given to you as well."
GOD Needs and wants to be known. One of your analogs. "In the beginning God created (made it be known of his existence. why? because he wanted to be known) the heavens and Earth".
@@greggumbs1935 "everybody believes in God" no they don't. "The scientist says there is no God, the world began with subatomic particles" Some scientists believe in God, it's not an axiom of science to say there is no God. A scientist might say there is a lack of evidence that there is a God. The evidence suggests that the early universe was very small, that's not an ideological position. "If the world began with subatomic particles then that's God" That's making the definition of the word God so vague as to render it meaningless. It's a dishonest tactic to make it seem like every one believes in God. There is no religious significance attached to subatomic particles. "God means the original substance from which everything else evolved" Again, that's stretching the definition of the word God to breaking point for dishonest reasons. "Your choice is that you believe in a world started with a God who doesn't know it, or do you believe in a world started by a God with the intention" That's not the only possibilities. Subatomic particles didn't start the world anyone, they were the first things to exist as far as we can tell. What came before, we don't know. "There is no such thing as an atheist, just because you call God a particle doesn't make you an atheist" I don't know any atheist who calls subatomic particles God. Again, it's stretching the definition of God to breaking so he can imply that atheists have a faith so are aren't any different from religious people. Well, that's two minutes in. As I said, the manipulative dishonesty is too. I'm not replying any further to this thread. I'm not getting drawn in to yet another pointless discussion.
@@anaccount8474 Thanks for the breakdown. Their problem is that the narrowing "gap" is slowly squeezing god out of the picture. I prefer "I don't know" but I'm working on it instead of fabricating answers that later become embarrassing to defend.
Even if God was dead, he would get out of the bed and cloth himself with warrior-clothing and justice in truth, according to his wrath and judgement preparations.
There's a story I like to tell you that my brother told me A little boy says to his mom who's God, she said that's too much for me you're going to have to ask the Sunday school teacher, so he goes to the Sunday school teacher he's he says can anybody see God? She said, you're going to have to ask the pastor so that Sunday you walked up to the pastor and he said, can anybody see God? He said, no nobody can see God God's spirit , that didn't sound right to the boy , One day he went out for a boat ride on a row boat with the old man, it was raining, they got in underneath there away from The Storm, then the storm stopped, they're rolling the boat, the old man was looking in the sky and he saw a rainbow, tears start to fall down his face as he looked at it and rowing kept on looking back at it, the boy was so excited about it he said, can I ask you a question? He said sure, can anybody see God? The old man put the boat with yours and came up and hugged him as tears began to fall down his the boys back and he said it's been 59 years and I seen nothing but God 😇 See, God is all around us, he's in nature he was in the rainbow he was everywhere in the trees you just got to know where to look for him
God is...pure energy. Everything that exists in the universe. Is made of energy. There for he is everywhere and everything. We exist because he wills it.
Do you guys love Prophet Moses? I like Prophet Abraham and love Prophet Moses...but I love myself more as I am a human going through life's tribulations of deaths, diseases, my fears, my anger, my health, my looks, my death... mortality, age, shortcomings..
Its not a bad logic, but we still don't know if someone needs us to be here. Its all about belief. We have to believe to follow the logic that someone needs us to be here
