Discussion on Jesus and Judaism
Jesus was a Jew. This is a common rebuttal amongst Christians
when they're
confronted with the fact that Judaism is a false religion that has nothing to do
with the Bible. They assert that because Jesus was a Jew,
that somehow that places
a stamp of approval on Rabbinic Judaism. But this is 100% false.
You see, Jesus Christ was ethnically a Jew because he
was of the tribe of Judah,
but he did not practice the modern religion of Judaism.
Jesus Christ practiced the Old Testament religion known as the Old Covenant that
had the law of Moses as its foundation.
Now keep in mind that the law of Moses was something that the Pharisees, who are
the architects of modern Judaism, claimed to believe but actually
rejected. Jesus Christ said in John 5:46, "For had ye
believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote of me.
But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?"
Showing us that although the Pharisees claimed to believe in the law of Moses,
their rejection of the words of Jesus proved that they didn't.
Just as modern Judaism claims to believe in the first five books of the Bible, but
actually reject it by upholding the Talmud as being more authoritative.
Now keep in mind that the Talmud is a record of oral traditions that,
according to
them, outranks the Bible. This is why Jesus said in Mark
7:9, "Full well ye reject the commandment of
God, that ye may keep your own
tradition." He goes on to say in verse 13, "Making the word of God of none effect
through your tradition, which ye have delivered:
and many such like things do ye."
But although Jesus Christ was ethnically a Jew, he practiced the Old
Covenant that eventually became Christianity through his death
and resurrection.
You see, Jesus understood that the Pharisees
were parading as disciples of Moses
in order to lend veracity to their false religion, just as modern Judaism claims
to believe in the Torah in order to deflect from what they truly believe about
the
Talmud. So share this video the next time someone
