A Rabbi Speaks: Is Christianity Idolatry?

According to the popular opinion of most traditional Jewish people, Christianity is considered Idolatry. But is that really accurate? Are all Christians really practicing a form of Idolatry?
When we "break-down" and understand the actual beliefs of different forms of Christianity, we can come to a more precise understanding of who they are and how they should be considered.
While true Idolatry certainly still exists in the world, the Creator will always recognize and appreciate the goodness in people's hearts. Even if we disagree and consider certain people to be fundamentally wrong in their beliefs, we respect and appreciate all people who have a good soul.

Welcome to Rav Dror Moshe Cassouto's Youtube channel.

Rav Dror brings rare, honest, and pure principles of truth, that will touch the heart of anyone who is open to hearing. Our hope is that these inspirational, educational, and motivational videos will bring you closer to The Creator and inspire and motivate you to find your connection to God with joy, faith, and trust.

In the beginning of time, the Creator wanted to reveal Himself and His Goodness. However, there was no one else around except for Him. Therefore, He created a physical world as a “wall of separation” from His endless infinity. The Creator infused life into it in many ways. The life is His Spirit (as souls) dressed in physical shapes as trees, animals, humans and more.

You, my dear friend, are one of these beautiful souls. You are trapped in this world of physicality, desiring His Mercy to be completely revealed. You are a unique and genuine reflection of His Godliness through your spiritual soul and a reflection of the “wall of separation” through the aspect of your physical body.

Learn the real meaning of life, the real purpose in living, find fulfillment, acceptance, and discover the good points in yourself and others. Discover and do the will of the Creator for you in this world. Find your soul's mission.

Rav Dror bases his lessons and teachings on deep personal understandings, as well as the foundations of Torah teachings such as the Bible, Mishnah, Talmud, Kabbalah, and the Hasidic Masters such as Rebbe Nachman of Breslov. Rav Dror is Jewish and adheres to the traditions of Rabbinic Judaism and has a deep connection to the esoteric, mystical, and spiritual.

Rav Dror is aware that souls from the Lost Tribes of Israel are scattered throughout the world and desire to return to their roots. These people are not born Jewish, because they are not from the Tribe of Judah who makes up the Jewish people of today. Rather, they are souls from the Ten Lost Tribes of Israel. Rav Dror teaches that at the time of the Final Redemption when the true Messiah will be revealed to the world, all souls with roots in the Tribes of Israel will be rejoined to the Nation of Israel, and will join in building the Eternal Third Temple in Jerusalem.

[BrianLee-cqhc]

Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed?
2 For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.
3 He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.
7 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.
8 He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken.
9 And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth.
10 Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in his hand.
11 He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities.
12 Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.
Isaiah 53

Why cannot God be a man? Didn't God walk in His creation speaking with Adam whom He created in His own image in the garden.

[bornbranded]

When God appears as the burning bush, did Moses not worship? When Joshua at Jericho saw the angel that looked like a man, did he not fall on his face and call him lord, and worship "that man"?

[sisterdaughter]

We have to help our brothers & sisters -- fill them up & the truth will over come them.

[AlejandroMossoMendoza]

Also, we should consider that the brothers of the Jewish people (the lost tribes of Israel) are assimilated among nations, and they are christians too.

[dv]

Well Jesus claimed to be the son of god and all the pharasies wanted to stone him because by his claim he makes himself like god. Read Isajah 53.

This is a very thoughtful video.

To describe Christians to someone, let me use an example:

If you told me your cousin is a Christian, it would be like telling me your cousin is a cook. Let me explain:

Is your cousin 7 years old? 35 years old? 70 years old? Do they know only how to boil potatoes? Or maybe also know how to cook eggs? Or, is your cousin a good cook who knows how to create delicious meals? Or is your cousin a gourmet chef? You say yes! They are a gourmet chef!

Okay, but what KIND of food does your cousin specialize in? French? Italian? Polish? Cuban? Jewish? Lebanese?

So you tell me your cousin is an award winning Asian chef! Ok...but do they cook Japanese style? Chinese? Vietnamese? Korean? They are all different than each other.

This is how Christians are. Some only boil potatoes. Others make their religion their whole life. Some cook only vegetarian.

Many people who call themselves Christians are really non denominational people who don't necessarily believe in a lot of church teachings. They don't know if there was actually a virgin birth, and cannot quote the bible. But they know that 2000 years ago a man named Jesus taught us to love God above all else, and to love our neighbors as we love ourselves. He preached love, forgiveness and helping the poor. He preached to be kind to women and children. He preached kindness. He detested hypocrisy.

He taught us to pray to God, our Father in Heaven, Creator of all. He never instructed us to pray to Him or to anyone other than God. He encouraged us to develop a personal relationship with God. He taught us The Lord's Prayer:

"Our Father, who is in heaven, Hallowed be Thy Name. Thy Kingdom come, THY will be done, on earth as it us in heaven. Give us this day, our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we also forgive those who have trespassed against us. And lead us not temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen"

Jesus also said nobody, not even him, knows certain things. ONLY GOD, our Father knows EVERYTHING, including when the world will end. He also said only God will decide who goes to Heaven.

He used to go off alone to talk to God a lot, too. He lived only to do God's will. And He lived a Jewish life and celebrated Shabbat and the Jewish holy days.

[hereticlife]

Can anyone tell me the work he used for “heretic”? Google is only telling me epikoros which sounds Greek but either way is not the word he used.

[ILoveHandles]

This is an interesting perspective. Glad I stumbled across this.

[paulruderstaller]

Jews see Jesus as a false god. Christians see Jesus as God in the flesh. The sacrifice for sin. God the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, and these three are one. The New Testament proves that Jesus is the Messiah. The prophets and the Tora point to him before he was even born. We cannot save ourselves by keeping the law. Only Gods grace and forgiveness can. Jesus is the Way the Truth and the Life. God provided a sacrifice for sin himself.

Shalom Rabbi, maybe this will happen Esther 8 The Jews had light, and gladness, and joy, and honour. 17 And in every province, and in every city, whithersoever the king's commandment and his decree came, the Jews had joy and gladness, a feast and a good day. And many of the people of the land became Jews; for the fear of the Jews fell upon them.
Israel is to become the lights of the nations.

Search the scriptures Jesus said for they speak of me from Genesis to revelation it speaks of him.In Psalm 110:1, David says, “The LORD says to my Lord: ‘Sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies your footstool’” (ESV). In Matthew 22:44, Jesus quotes this verse in a discussion with the Pharisees in order to prove that the Messiah is more than David’s son; He is David’s Lord.

The clause the LORD says to my Lord contains two different Hebrew words for “lord” in the original. The first word is Yahweh, the Hebrew covenant name for God. The second is adoni, meaning “lord” or “master.” So, in Psalm 110:1, David writes this: “Yahweh says to my Adoni. . . .” To better understand Jesus’ use of Psalm 110:1, we’ll look at the identity of each “Lord” separately.

The first “Lord” in “the LORD says to my Lord” is the eternal God of the universe, the Great I AM who revealed Himself to Moses in Exodus 3. This self-existent, omnipotent God speaks in Psalm 110 to someone else who is also David’s “Lord.”

The second “Lord” in “the LORD says to my Lord” is the Messiah, or the Christ. Psalm 110 describes this second “Lord” as follows:

● He sits at God’s right hand (verse 1)
● He will triumph over all His enemies and rule over them (verses 1–2)
● He will lead a glorious procession of troops (verse 3)
● He will be “a priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek” (verse 4)
● He will have divine power to crush kings, judge nations, and slay the wicked (verses 5–6)
● He will find refreshment and be exalted (verse 7)

In Matthew 22:44, Jesus unmistakably identifies the second “Lord” of Psalm 110:1 as the Messiah, and the Pharisees all agree that, yes, David was speaking of the Messiah. When David wrote, “The LORD says to my Lord, ” he distinctly said that the Messiah (or the Christ) was his lord and master—his Adoni.

A common title for the Messiah in Jesus’ day was “Son of David, ” based on the fact that the Messiah would be the descendant of David who would inherit the throne and fulfill the Davidic Covenant (see 2 Samuel 7). Jesus capitalizes on the Jewish use of the title “Son of David” to drive home His point in Matthew 22. “While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them, ‘What do you think about the Messiah? Whose son is he?’ ‘The son of David, ’ they replied. He said to them, ‘How is it then that David, speaking by the Spirit, calls him “Lord”? For he says, “‘The Lord said to my Lord: “Sit at my right hand until I put your enemies under your feet.”’” If then David calls him “Lord, ” how can he be his son?’” (Matthew 22:41–45).

Jesus’ reasoning is this: “Son of David” is your title for the Messiah, yet David himself calls Him “Lord.” The Messiah, then, must be much more than just a son—a physical descendant—of David. According to Psalm 110:1, this “Son of David” was alive during David’s time and was greater than David. All of this information is contained in the statement that “the LORD says to my Lord.” Jesus is David’s Lord; He is the Christ, the Jewish Messiah, and Psalm 110 is a promise of Jesus’ victory at His second coming.

Another important point that Jesus makes in Matthew 22 is that David wrote the psalm under the guidance of the Holy Spirit; David was “speaking by the Spirit, ” Jesus says (verse 43). Clearly, Jesus taught the inspiration of Scripture. When David wrote, “The LORD says to my Lord, ” he was recording exactly what God wanted him to write.
