I don’t follow any religion, but I want this man to be my grandpa 🥺

[albrown]

Where would we be without tech, the internet, YouTube? Learning in such a vast way, beautiful..

[herzaislad]

Again, Islam and Judaism has the same teaching: you carry only your own sins, not somebody else's. Nevertheless, God is The Merciful, The Forgiving.

The orthodox Christians believes something similar to the Jewish conception of sin no?

[penname]

Original sin? as in, Eve and Adam eating forbidden fruit? and that introduced this animal soul. How can a person introduce a second soul? Or was that animal soul already there and waiting for an opportunity to become activated in some way? Very interesting & confusing.

If I had men like this in my life as a child, I’d be an observant Jew today

[katme]

Easy and sensible. The duality and conflict we must deal with and master.

[cincylitigator]

Thank you rabbi. As a former messianic Jew I found this to be meaningful.

[pinarellolimoncello]

Thank you for uploading video, brilliant.

[leeanne]

So I believe sin isn't the same thing in Judaism or Christianity, sin has a completely different meaning and idea. Shalom Ravi, thanks for that amazing explanation.

[karloliver]

Excellent explanation. Simple but profound.

[johnguslen]

Very nice, thank you!
Sounds to me like judaism, in this regard, is more similar to buddhism than christianity or islam. But coming from totally different angles.

[mycahsmith]

Orthodox Christians do not believe in the concept of original sin.

[davidmarandi]

You are correct. I agree. But I am a Christian.

[preussenuberalles]

Thank you, dear Rabbi, my soul was craving for this powerful teaching.

שלום

You softened my heart and I so needed it today.

[analiachyrnialisnichuk]

I have previously thought about it. when I was a kid my logic told me, it was not my decision neither have I asked to come to this planet. why this church puts on me a sin?

[sissy]

That was beautiful and understandable. ❤️

[landenwest]

This is what my "group" of Christians/ family in christ believe
