A Rabbi Speaks: Is Christianity Idolatry?

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

The greatness of your tolerance and faith will be rewarded. Because those who teach in brotherhood unite what first it was impossible to unite. Baruch Hashem for all your teachings. 🙏🌺

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.

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.

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"?

iam sorry Rabbi,but you need to learn more about Christianity christian believe that Jesus is the appearing of Hashem in human he is the messiah

You're not a Christian if you don't believe Jesus is God

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

You just went against the Torah with this. ANYONE WHO WORSHIPS CHRISTIANITY IS AN IDOL WORSHIPPER. TOLERANCE DOESN'T MEAN PERMITTING IDOLATRY. WHERE DOES TORAH SAY TO TOLERATE IDOLS AND IDOL WORSHIPPERS?

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.

Rav dror have you seen with the Torah codes have to say about all this if not check it out

Hello, What are some of the criteria for the Messiah? Will the Messiah die?

God bless you Rabbi

You are best rabbi

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.

Can a child of Noah convert to Judaism if he believes that Rabbi Yeshua is Messiah, who is a man, not God or trinity?

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

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.

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.

Gratitude sir
