Word of God v. Traditions (of Jews)
The church is going the way of the Jew by adopting “precepts of men” over the Holy Scriptures . The Jews know this and encourage it.
Here is the Jerusalem Post:
How can this be? Because Christians and Catholics today are reinterpreting Scripture away from a literal interpretation of Jews as the enemies of Christ.
And:
AS BAD as what the New Testament has to say about Jews is what it has to say about Judaism, which is depicted throughout as old and defunct and in need of replacement. In the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus tells the Jews, “The kingdom of God will be taken away from you [Jews] and given to a people that will produce its fruit [the Christians].” John takes the metaphor terrifyingly further, calling the Jewish people a fruitless tree waiting to be axed, “cut down and thrown into the fire.”
Given this narrative in the New Testament, how can Christians today be Israel’s greatest friends? Because we understand the written verses of any Bible through their oral interpretation. And Christians today, guided by the Hebrew Bible’s assertion that all nations are blessed through the Jews and Israel, reject any demonization of the Jewish people. They are reinterpreting New Testament verses . . .
The church has embraced the “leaven of the Pharisees” that Jesus warned and prophesied about.
Jews KNOW the Bible is contrary to Judaism. See here at here. But Christians are more fearful of offending those who reject Jesus Chrest than they are of Jesus Christ Himself! So they/we have gone the way of Jew and are “reinterpreting New Testament verses.”
The Jews kept the Law and the Prophets as a trinket, a medallion, a symbol of what once was. But their heart, their identity, their beliefs are in the “traditions of the elders.” A few centuries after the Resurrection of Jesus Christ, these “traditions” were copied into their Talmud, their guidebook.
The evangelical church has done the same thing. To the utter delight of the Antichrist, Evangelicals worship the Jew and call them “God’s chosen.” These “traditions” destroy the Church, just as Jesus Christ warned it would.
Saul, the Jew (before his conversion) boasted that he “was advancing in Judaism beyond many of my contemporaries among my countrymen, being more extremely zealous for my ancestral traditions.” God chose Paul to warn the church against the leaven of the Pharisees, for he was one. No one knew better than Paul of the evils of Judaism.
Here are Scriptures that must be re-normalized in the Church:
-
- “for you also endured the same sufferings at the hands of your own countrymen, even as they did from the Jews, who both killed the Lord Jesus and the prophets, and [a]drove us out. They are not pleasing to God, but hostile to all people,” 1 Thessalonians 2:14-15.
-
- “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you travel across sea and land to make a single proselyte (to the Talmud), and when he becomes a proselyte, you make him twice as much a child of hell as yourselves.” Matt 23:15.
-
- “ . . . the slander of those who say that they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan.” Rev 2:9
-
- “ . . those of the synagogue of Satan who say that they are Jews and are not, but lie . . “ Rev 3:9
-
- “Who is the liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, he who denies the Father and the Son.” 1 John 2:22
-
- “For many deceivers have gone out into the world, those who do not confess the coming of Jesus Christ in the flesh. Such a one is the deceiver and the antichrist. . . . If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your house or give him any greeting, for whoever greets him takes part in his wicked works.” 2 John 1:7-11
The cure for our rot lies in the Word of God, nothing else.
James 4:4 and Mark 8:38. speak of the adulteress, and Jesus Christ calls His church out of the great whore in Revelation 18:4
“For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will also be ashamed of him when He comes in the glory of His Father with the holy angels.” Mark 8:38
