I’m a Christian and enjoyed studying the Bible and its Jewish roots. It’s fascinating to me. And my mom, who has gone to glory, had a Jewish doctor! Thank you for this video. Very informative!! ❤❤✡️✡️

Tzedakah means Just/Right, but it's also synonymous with charity, right?

6:06 Jews are still Jews if they worship other gods, 6:23? Did we forget about the golden calf, or the time at Ba'a'l Pe'or and the Moavites? I understand that Judaism won't allow conversions for messianic Jews, as Yah also rejected those who turned to idols. If the belief is what makes a Jew a Jew, and he turns from that belief, how then is he a Jew?

It’s 13 tribes not 12. The tribe of Joseph was split into 2 separate tribes.

6:32 So unclean food, Lev 11, is clean to non-Jews? Please explain to me how that even can make sense. When a person is a Christian, pig and shellfish are then clean, but once they become a Jew they become unclean? How do the pig and shellfish know when someone converts to Judaism so that they become unclean? You do realize that Noach knew what was clean and unclean as early as Genesis 7:2 because Hashem ordered him x and y of clean and unclean animals to board the ark.

6:39 Exo 20v10 says that the stranger with thee is not to work on the Sabbath.. Num 15v15-16 says "One law and one ordinance for the native and the foreigner living with you.. Exo 12v49 adds similarly to Exo 20v10 in that one law is for the native and the stranger who resides in your midst. In Num 9v14, Hashem even commanded that the proselyte or stranger taking part of the Passover shall follow the same Passover statutes as the native born Jew. Lev 24v22 says One law for convert and resident alike.

Seems like quite a few reminders that the law is for all people, not a reduced seven law count for the foreigner as advertised. My guess are these teachings are coming from the Talmud.

6:47 #6 Don't engage in illicit sexual activity? Illicit means "contrary to accepted morality" which if you know what is accepted today, that is anyone can marry whomever they want as long as they get a divorce. What is accepted is not what is moral according to the Torah. Exo 22v16 says when a man goes into a virgin she becomes his wife. However many times he goes into a virgin means that's how many wives he has until any one of his wives become defiled with other men, Deu 24v1-4, which if that become true whoever it be are not permitted to return, nor would they be allowed to take another husband or the one they were with. Such adulterers were stoned.. Ya'aqov had several wives, two right out the gate from Laban's daughters following Exo 22v16. Ya'aqov didn't love Leah but he chose to give her the marriage rights Hashem commands, Exo 21v10.

I'm very saddened to see that Judaism creates a reduced set of laws for everyone else when Hashem's Torah doesn't support that teaching. This is the reason I will not convert to Orthodox Judaism as long as they make void Hashem's commands to follow their own traditions.

Noachide laws are as much a blasphemy against Hashem as man paying for sin. Neither one satisfy Hebrew scripture.
