7. The
Babylonian Talmud: An Instrument to Destroy Christianity
From the time He was a mere infant until
His death, our Redeemer and Savior, Jesus the Christ, was hated by the
Jews. Herod, the Edomite king of Judea, attempted to kill Him by ordering
all children to be killed who were up to two years of age who lived in
Bethlehem and the surrounding country. (Matthew 2:16) On different occasions
the Jews attempted to trap Him by their questioning, hoping He would violate
some point of Law. They demanded His execution before Pilate. The New Testament
bears witness to their undeniable hatred.
Once the Christ began preaching of the
Kingdom of God, most of the people who heard Him were indifferent. A mere
handful believed Him. In Acts 1:15, we find only 120 people were gathered
together when Peter addressed them. Even today, while millions gather in
His name, most are indifferent. Few there are who are willing to meet the
requirements He set forth in order to qualify as being His brothers and
sisters. (Matthew 12:50; John 15:14)
Yet in spite of their indifference and
lukewarm condition, these people don't hate Jesus enough to want Him killed;
they just don't love Him enough to follow His instructions. (John 14:15)
During the Christ's ministry, His most
ardent and vehement opposition came from the Pharisees and their companions,
the lawyers (scribes)! These people were known as JEWS, or more correctly
JUDEANS. It was these JUDEAN Pharisees and scribes who sought to kill the
Christ (Luke 22:2; John 5:18). It is recorded that the conspiracy became
so intense that Jesus would not walk ir JEWRY (JUDEA) because the Jews
sought to kill Him (John 7:1).
The people we know today as JEWS are
descendants of those ancient enemies of Christ, the JUDEANS. Whether or
not they are racial descendants of those Pharisees is irrelevant, just
as whether they are racial descendants of Abraham is irrelevant. The point
is, these modern-day lawyers and Pharisees, who say they are JEWS, are
the SPIRITUAL descendants of the ancient Jews who sought to kill Jesus.
The evidence presented by Brother Mohr
is this book establishes this hatred by quoting from their own "holy book,"
The
Babylonian Talmud. Brother Mohr lays out the facts for all to see.
I believe it is inevitable that indifferent Christians will do all they
can to distort the evidence brother Mohr presents and attempt to discredit
him. Additionally, those who call themselves Jews today will be angered
by it and will increase their assaults upon him and against the King he
serves. Brother Mohr and I expect this, so let it come! We are ready.
This book deserves and requires more
than a mere reading by Christians. It should be thoroughly studied,
and
where possible, shared with brainwashed brothers in the Christian churches.
Before you turn to page one, let me
give you a starting point from THE WORD of our King. Turn to John 15 and
read very carefully, beginning with verse 18 through verse 21. Then continue
on through verse four of Chapter 16.
Harry L. Werner, Jr.
This book is about the Jewish Talmud
which is to the Jewish world what the Bible is to the Christian world.
In the words of Jewish author Herman Wouk, it is the "heart's blood of
the Jewish religion."
The purpose of this book is not to downgrade
the Jewish people, or stir up resentment against them. Its purpose is to
explain, often in their own words, how they feel about you, the "goyim"
(a Yiddish word meaning "non-Jew animal"), and about your religion, Christianity.
It is written as a means of protecting ourselves from the greatest threat
to ever face Christianity in our two thousand years of history. We cannot,
we dare not, over look this threat if we are to survive as a free people.
Someone has said, "It is better to light
one candle than to sit in darkness." For over twenty-five years I have
attempted to light many candles. Where I may have failed during this period
of time, I hope to see the day when one of these candles of truth will
burst into flame and, like a long smoldering spark, start a conflagration
which will sweep across America like a prairie fire and illuminate vast
areas with truth for the first time.
It has been contended for centuries
that in the end, truth will always prevail. We know that "truth in action
can prove itself a dynamic force of unlimited power." But, truth has never
been a self-starter. Truth has never been able to get off dead-center,
and unless its apostle is willing to give it the necessary push to overcome
inertia, "truth will die a-borning!"
On the other hand, truth has often been
blacked-out by repeated, contradictory and conflicting misinformation.
The world's history provides many examples of this sobering fact. Treason
toward truth is treachery to mankind.
There are no degrees of truth. Truth
is absolute! It can never be relative! Truth either exists, or it does
not. There is no such thing as a halt-truth, any more than there can be
a person who is half-honest, or half-loyal. In their attempts to do an
ounce of good in one direction, many well-intentioned people have done
a ton of harm in another direction.
Regardless of what anyone says to the
contrary, Christian faith stands today with one foot in the grave and the
other on a banana peel. It is distasteful to admit it, but it is true.
While Christian churches have been increasing their membership rolls, Americans
have been on a downhill, degenerate slide to ruin. Morally, we are in the
sewer, and the churches have been unable to stop the destruction. In fact,
they seem bent on greasing the slide. They offer "Christian rock," a contradiction
in terms if there ever was one. They offer Bingo in the basement and live
lavishly on other peoples' money. The exposure (pun intended) of the TV
pulpiteers indicates the moral climate of this country. And what is the
reason behind this degeneracy? There is a reason, and this book will reveal
that reason. What is the hidden power which has such a powerful effect
on the Christian world in 1991? What is the anti-Christ force which has
turned the twentieth-century church into the Laodicean church of Revelation
3:14 - 18; a church which knows it is rich and influential and yet which
cannot, or will not, see that it is "wretched, miserable, poor, blind,
and naked?" What can bring this wretched church back to its place of greatness
where it can carry out Christ's plan of salvation?
Today, the Christian church stands at
the crossroads of destiny. The divine and sacred mission of the Christian
faith faces a danger at this juncture in history which is greater than
any it has faced in 2,000 years. If the day ever comes when Christians
cannot profess their faith as they do today in America, then we will see
the beginning of the end.
The history of the world for the past
several centuries, and current events at home and abroad confirm to the
intelligent person that there is indeed a conspiracy afoot to destroy Christian
civilization. The world-wide plot of these diabolical conspirators has
been instituted while most Christians have been asleep in front of their
pulpits and their TV's For the most part, the Christian clergy, who should
have been in the forefront of exposing this danger, have been indifferent
or ignorant and have been the ones who assisted the enemies of Christ in
their efforts to destroy us. This ignorance and indifference have dealt
a blow to the Christian faith from which many will never recover.
Today, more than ever before, Christians
need a "spiritual Paul Revere" who will ride across this land, warning
that the enemy is closing in on them. This book is such an effort.
It is important for a soldier in time
of war to be able to identify his enemy. He cannot be successful in his
efforts to conquer his opponent unless he readily recognizes him. Today,
the souls of millions of Christians are uneasy about the state of the Christian
faith. The minds of thousands of Christian clergy are troubled about the
mysterious pressures from those above them which often prevent them from
exercising sound judgment. If these forces can be identified, then Christianity
will stand on its feet, face its enemies as firmly as the Rock of Gibralter
and stop them in their tracks. But unless this is done soon, the faith
of many will "wax cold and begin to crumble away."
In Jeremiah 23:22, we read these words:
The Christian clergy are primarily,
if not solely, responsible for the internal forces within the Christian
faith which are fighting against its best interests. If we are to survive,
we can no longer pussyfoot around with the truth because it offends someone
or makes them uncomfortable. At this late hour there is very little time
left for us to begin to mend the fence. Only the courageous will endure
the present crisis, and both figuratively and literally, we will see live
heroes and dead cowards when the dust of this battle settles. The Christian
faith is the only anchor to windward which will stand against the universal
savagery of the enemies of Christianity. They have willingly shown us the
depths to which they will descend to gain their end of world control.
There need be no confusion in the minds
of Christians when it comes to the fundamentals of the faith. This confusion
would not exist if it were not for those of the clergy who are allies with
the enemy who seeks to destroy them. There are countless Christians who
are standing on the sidelines watching as their faith withers on the vine,
and their freedom is about to drop into the laps of their enemies like
overripe fruit. This cup will become more bitter when they realize that
it is the ignorance and indifference of their spiritual leaders which has
caused the deplorable condition of Christianity today. When Christians
see their leaders in defeat on every front, they too will become confused
and afraid. To stop this surrender, the clergy MUST make an about-face,
no matter how painful it may be. They must take a stand against the invisible
and intangible ideological war which is being waged against the Christian
faith.
The utterance from the clergy which
confuses Christians most and which is repeated from the pulpit and the
printed page without ceasing is: "Jesus was a Jew. We must protect and
help the Jews, no matter what they do because they are God's chosen people
and if we do not help them, God will curse us." This is the teaching from
the majority of Christian pulpits in 1992. They completely ignore the definition
of an "anti-Christ" as given in I John 2:22-23:
Christians who know the Scriptures and
history cannot reconcile the pulpit claim that Abraham was a Jew. They
know this was impossible because Abraham lived more than 1200 years prior
to those who became known as Jews. The Christian clergy of America is in
bad repute today, and the only way they can redeem themselves is by telling
the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth no matter how painful
it may be to themselves or to their denominational leaders. They can begin
by refuting the claims that Abraham was a Jew, Christ was a Jew, and that
God's chosen people are the Jews.
With this as an introduction, let's
take a closer look at those whom I identify as the enemies of Christ and
Christianity: the International Talmudic Jews.
Before you become angry and throw this
book away, I dare you to read on and, as an honest man or woman, compare
what I have written with the Word of God.
Following is a comparison of the Jewish
holy book, The Babylonian Talmud, with the Christian Bible. Most
Christians believe that the Jews follow the TORAH or the Old Testament.
Not so! According to Theodore Hertzl, father of modern Zionism, The
Babylonian Talmud supersedes every other instruction. It is the center
and foundation of Jewish belief and directs their behavior toward non-Jews
whom they call "goyim."
THE
EVIDENCE: We will begin our study by reviewing
the book, Invitation to the Talmud. (a teaching book) written by
Jacob Neusner (a Jew) and published by Harper and Row in 1973. Neusner
was a university professor and Ungerleider Distinguished Scholar of Judaic
Studies at Brown University. He is author of Invitation to Midrash
and has written or edited over 250 books on Judaism. He is known as one
of the world's preeminent Judaic scholars and can be considered an expert
on the Jewish religion. Excerpts from the Introduction to Invitation
to the Talmud follow:
p. XVII It
(The
Talmud) is the revealed teaching -from heaven down to earth and conversely,
to make the pro fane sacred. (Profane: not sacred; common, not connected
with religion; not initiated into the inner mysteries for esoteric knowledge
of something. Ed.)
p. XVI II They
(the
Jews) rightly see The TALMUD as TORAH, God's revelation to Israel, the
Jewish people, and they study it because it is TORAH. p. XXII Jewish
intellectualism without Jewish faith proves wanting. For divorced from
the soul of TALMUDIC being, secular reason among Jewish intellectuals remains
formless and formal, producing on the one side the grotesque and absurd
and, on the other side, an empty formalism.
p. XXIV Why
does the Judaic tradition find God in the thrust and parry of argument
as it does when it claims that God Himself studies the TORAH? p. XXVII From
it (The TALMUD) flows whatever truth Jews have to offer the world
of Judaism. (As we go along,
we will be able to determine whether this statement is true or not.) Christians need to remember, as we look
closely at The TALMUD, that the JUDAISM which today follows TALMUDIC
teachings is the PHARISAISM of Jesus' day. You will recall that Jesus said
to the Pharisees in Matthew 15:6 - "Thus have ye made the commandment
of God of none effect by your tradition." And, in verse nine, He accused
them of: ". . . teaching for doctrines the commandments of men."
The famous Jewish Rabbi, Louis Finklestein,
in the foreword to his book The Pharisees. The Social Background of
Their Faith, said: ". . . Judaism . . . Pharisaism became Talmudism,
Talmudism became Medieval Rabbinism and Medieval Rabbinism became Modern
Rabbinism. But Through all these changes in name . . . the spirit of the
ancient Pharisees survived unaltered . . . From Palestine, to Babylonia;
from Babylonia to North Africa, Italy, Spain, France and Germany; from
there to Poland, Russia, and Eastern Europe generally, ancient Pharisaism
has wandered . . ." (Demonstrating the enduring importance which is
attached to Pharisaism as a religious movement Ed.)
In order for us to better understand
The
Talmud, we must first look at the men who were responsible for compiling
and writing this reference work over a span of some 1 ,000 years.
The
Talmud is the product of a small group of Jewish sages ("profoundly
wise counselors" - The Reader's Digest Great Encyclopedic Dictionary)
who lived in the land of Israel, which is called the Holy Land, and in
the land of Babylonia.
Four facts emerge regarding the "wise
men" who contributed to The Talmud and about the social environment
at the time:
B. Understanding
the new in terms of the old. 3. They lived
in a time of religious ferment in which religions were coming into being
and fading away. The first century marked the beginning of Christianity.
4. They were comprised
exclusively of men. This should come as no surprise since men of antiquity
had a low opinion of women. The Christian Apostle Paul taught that they
should be silent in the church. Philo, a Jewish philosopher, taught that
sexual relations were permissible only to produce children. Hyrcanus, a
first century Rabbi said that a Jew should not teach his daughter the TORAH. Both the EXILARCH and the PATRIARCH
had one thing in common; they both claimed Davidic descent. This did not
mean they could trace their genealogy back to David, but each supposed
his family was one of those who might produce the coming King-Messiah.
The Macabees claimed this as did King
Herod, who was an Edomite. The rabbis formed the religious and political
movements of the land. There were two major political parties, the Saducees
and the Pharisees. They served in the government of the EXILARCH or PATRIARCH.
The rabbi taught that when all Jews did as he did, then the Messiah would
come. One of them was quoted as saying: If all the Jews will keep the
Sabbath for one time only, the Messiah will come.
The rabbis stood apart from the regular
Jewish populace and encompassed the myths revealed in The BABYLONIAN
TALMUD which centered on Moses and the story of his piety. They teach
that due to the piety of Moses, God gave him the Law twice; once orally
and the other in God's own handwriting. And, they hold that just as God
had given Moses the Law, or the TORAH, they would teach it to their disciples
in the same manner.
The rabbis taught that Moses was a rabbi,
and for the rabbis, God dons ecclesiastical garb and wears the phylactery
which is two small leather cases holding slips inscribed with Scripture
passages. One is fastened to the forehead and one to the left arm. The
rabbis teach that they study the TORAH on earth as God and the angels study
it in heaven. These heavenly school teachers are aware of the Babylonian
discussions and enjoy the exceptional grace of heaven. They want to transform
the entire Jewish community into an academy where the TORAH is studied
and kept because they believe Jews will be redeemed by keeping the TORAH
(Law). This is one of the major dividing points between Judaism and Christianity
for Christians are taught: "For by grace are ye saved; through faith.
.
. ." (Ephesians 2:8)
The Jew is taught that he merits God's
favor by obeying the Torah. Thus each Jew becomes a rabbi as he practices
the commandments and does good deeds. When all Jews become rabbis, then
the Messiah will come.
The rabbinical religion consists of
two elements. One is the esoteric, secret doctrines pertaining to the very
essence of God, and the second is an often self-centered view of man's
relationship to God. If a Jew sins by omission (by not doing something),
he will be held responsible and punishment will follow here and now through
physical suffering. If people who are wicked prosper, or if they do not
sin and suffer, the rabbi always has an easy explanation for it.
Other elements of rabbinical theory
center on demons, witchcraft and incantations; revelations through omens,
dreams and astrology; the value of prayer and magic formulas; rabbinical
blessings and curses and the merit gained through study of the
TORAH.
The rabbis believe in invisible beings
which populate space and carry out Divine orders. The prayers of the rabbis
center on four major themes:
2. The wrath of
God.
3. The humility
and helplessness of men.
4. The ideas and
sacred symbols found in the TALMUD. The Hebrew word MISHNAH is from a root
word which means "to repeat." The TALMUD teaches that Moses received the
TORAH on Mt. Sinai; once in written form on stone by God Himself and the
other by oral instructions which were to be passed on by repetition, or
through memory. These have been handed down for many generations.
The MISHNAH is divided into six major
sections entitled, "Orders," or, in Hebrew, SEDER. The first deals with
agricultural law and is the ZERAIM, meaning "seeds." The. second is the
Sabbath and festival law, called MOED, meaning "season." The third deals
with the family, various vows, oaths, marriage, divorce and inheritance
and it is called NASHIM, meaning "women." The fourth concerns civil law,
torts, damages, criminal law and punishments and is called NEZIKIN meaning
"damages." The fifth deals with sacrifices and things pertaining to the
temple in Jerusalem, such as the order and cult of animal sacrifices. It
is called KODASHIM, meaning "holy things."
The MISHNAH orders are sub-divided into
sections called TRACATES of which there are 63. The six major sections
of the Orders, are divided as follows:
MOED has 12 tracates with 88 chapters;
NASHIM, seven tracates with 71 chapters;
NEZIKIN, ten tracates with 73 chapters;
KODASHIM, 11 tracates with 91 chapters,
and
TOHAROT, with 12 tracates and 126 chapters. The MISHNAH is comprised principally
of the sayings of the rabbis who lived in the first and second centuries.
There is very little written before the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem
in 70 AD (That can be explained by the fact that prior to the Babylonian
captivity, the Judahites were under a patriarchal system and worshiped
God as prescribed by their forefathers and the Scriptures. During the captivity,
those Judahites who were taken captive by Babylonia adopted much of the
mysticism and occultism of their captors and mixed it with the belief structure
they had at the time. That is when The Talmud came into existence,
and following the destruction of the Temple, the opinions of the rabbis
began to be written down as "law." These opinions were largely the "traditions"
they had gleaned from their captors by mixing God's Law with man's mysticism
and occultism.) It is a document of imagination and fantasy, describing
how things are using but shreds and remnants of reality. It tells how things
were or how the rabbis wanted them to be. It is an orderly document, narrow-minded,
dull and very routine.
No wonder Judaism has so little comfort
to offer its adherents. It lacks hope of sins forgiven, no hope for the
future; their god is money, and their holy city is not old Jerusalem, but
New York City. More Jews are leaving old Palestine to come to America than
there are migrating to it.
The aftermath of the Jewish rebellion
against Rome in 132 - 135 AD was that the temple site was permanently prohibited
to Jews, and Jerusalem became a closed city to them.
A
REVIEW OF DR. NEUSNER'S BOOK -
This is a capsule introduction to The
Talmud. Only the surface has been scratched, but you now have a working
knowledge of its origin. In the coming chapters, we will examine the book
itself. First, we will discuss Dr. Jacob Neusner's comments from his book,
Invitation
to the Talmud. which can be purchased at many Christian book stores.
Then we will allow The Talmud to reveal itself. From an in-depth
study done by Elizabeth Dilling entitled, The Plot to Destroy Christianity,
you will see some reproduced pages from The Babylonian Talmud.
Dr. Neusner admits that The Babylonian
Talmud is a vast compilation of Jewish law and fairy tales. At this
point it is appropriate to read what our Holy Scriptures have to say about
fables.
"But have nothing to do with worldly
fables fit only for old women. On the other hand, discipline yourself for
the purpose of godliness; . . " (I Timothy 4:7)
"For the time will come when they
will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled,
they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own
desires;" (II Timothy 4:3-4)
"This testimony is true. For this
cause reprove them severely that they may be sound in the faith, not paying
attention to Jewish myths and commandments of men who turn away from the
truth." (Titus 1:13-14)
"For we did not follow cleverly devised
tales when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus
Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of His majesty." (II Peter 1:16:) The vast work of The Babylonian Talmud
was put together by Jewish rabbis from Palestine and Babylonia between
the first and seventh centuries A.D. The Talmud
attempts to compel
interest by approaching all problems from a "rational," rather than a "spiritual"
perspective. Neusner states that a study of The Talmud allows a
disciplined intellect to exercise itself through clean, sustained, and
vigorous argument. How clean this argument is will be clearly seen when
we delve into The Talmud itself.
The Talmud is not an ordinary
document of antiquity. It is the "heart's blood of the Jewish religion."
To understand the Jewish mind, you must know something about his Talmud.
The
ability to enter a discussion on the issues and arguments of these learned
rabbis is, to the Jews, a measure of intellect, piety and the virtue of
holiness.
My Christian friends, wake up and realize
that we are engaged in a struggle for the souls of men and women and for
their freedom. It is a struggle between those who, as Dr. Neusner says,
put their faith in the "traditions of men" and those of us who believe
in 'faith" which, according to Hebrews 11:1, is: ". . . the substance
of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen."
Neusner claims that while Gentile (who,
according to Jews, are non-Jews) skepticism yields corrosive and negative
results, that of the Talmudic skeptic produces "measured, restrained, limited
insight." (Such as the restraint that is being shown to thousands of Palestinian
Christians by the Israeli.)
For The Talmud, the alternative
is not faith, as the Christian knows it, but a blind reliance on the arguments
of rabbis, thousands of years dead, few of whom can agree on anything.
The Talmud, unlike the Holy
Bible, conforms to the social pressures of the community. When the
Bible
says
in Exodus 23:2: Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do evil; . . ."
The Talmud says:
The Talmud teaches that among
the Talmudic sages there were literal miracle workers, sort of Jewish Oral
Roberts, I guess. But while the so-called miracle workers of Christianity
are usually found in the realm of physical healing and the casting out
of demons, in the world of The Talmud they are the lawyer-magicians
of Babylonia, skilled in the occult practices of the CABALA. This is the
occult philosophy of the Talmudists based on mystical interpretation of
Scripture.
While the Talmudists make much of their
appeal to reason and human deduction, the religion of Judaism is actually
rooted and grounded in the mystic occult superstitions of ancient Babylonia.
This approach to life is that of the secular humanists which is directly
opposed to everything which is taught in the Bible. We read in Jeremiah
of the Christian concept of man. "The heart is deceitful above all things,
and desperately wicked: who can know it?" (Jeremiah 17:9)
The Talmudists say that man's actions
are governed by his environment and his obedience to the rabbinical laws.
James 4:1 says that, wars and fightings of mankind come because of their
lusts and goes on to warn in James 1:14 - 15: "But every man (or
woman, Ed.) is tempted when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.
Then when lust has conceived, it bringest forth sin: and sin, (which
Scripture defines as "transgression of God's Law" - I John 3:4, Ed.) when
it is finished, bringeth forth death."
Can you see the difference between the
two avenues of thinking? One excuses man for anything he does, while Christianity
holds him accountable since he is capable of knowing the difference between
right and wrong and has the power to choose which path he will take.
The Talmudists say:
Tell this to the Palestinians who have
been driven from their homes by the Israeli and who are now being subject
to as much brutality as Hitler ever exhibited against the Jews. This idea
is prevalent in Jewry. Not so long ago I listened to a radio talk show
broadcast from Atlanta, Georgia. A caller was decrying the suffering of
the Palestinians when a woman called in to the show. She identified herself
as a Jewess. With supreme arrogance she said: Why are you so concerned
about the Arabs? After all, they are only animals!
On page 291 of Neusner's book he represents
the Jewish attempts to neutralize and eventually destroy Christianity,
by saying:
Have you ever wondered why Santa Claus
and the Easter bunny have become more important to many so-called Christians
than Jesus Christ? Think about it.
Dr. Neusner's comments on page 292 show
why the Apostle Paul said these strange alien people are "contrary to all
men" (I Thessalonians 2:15). Dr. Neusner states:
A completely reliable English translation
of The Babylonian Talmud was published in England by the Soncino
Press between 1935 and 1948 in thirty-five volumes. These translations
were accompanied by brief notes which explained the passages. A close perusal
of Neusner's book will reveal that he deliberately avoided mentioning any
part of it which might be repulsive to the Christian. There are many examples
of these passages, and we will look at a few as we progress in our study.
These are often morally reprehensible and full of outright hatred of Jesus
Christ and anything pertaining to His church.

JUDEO-CHRISTIANITY!

"But
if they (the pastors of Israel) had stood in My (God's) counsel,
and had caused my people (Israel) to hear my words, then they (the
pastors of Israel) should have turned them (Israel) away from
their evil way and from the evil of their doings."
This indicates to me that the message coming
from the majority of Christian pulpits in America is not the unadulterated
Word of God. For if the truth were being preached according to God's own
Word, our people would have turned to Him. This is one of the major reasons
we have undertaken this study of one of the major textbooks of the anti-Christ
enemy, The Babylonian Talmud.
"Who
is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is anti-christ,
that denieth the Father and the Son. Whosoever denieth the Son, the same
hath not the Father: but he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father
also."
This couldn't be more clear, and it is
certainly an accurate portrayal of Jewish thought today. In II John 1:10
- 11, Christians are given a stern admonition as to their attitude toward
these anti-Christs:
"If
there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, (that Jesus is
the Christ.)
receive him not into your house, neither bid him Gods peed:
For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds."
This leaves no room for argument!
p. XVI
It
(The
Talmud) is the revealed word of God.
What is the TORAH? The New World Dictionary
of the American Language states that it is:
The
whole body of Jewish religious literature, including the Scripture and
The
TALMUD. In some instances it refers to the Penteteuch which are the
five books of Moses; Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy.
The basic text on which The TALMUD is
constructed,
is the MISHNAH, a philosophical law code brought to closure at about
200 AD The TALMUD then draws together the MISHNAH and yet another
argumentative text which is called the
TOSTEFA, meaning supplements.
p. XXV
The TALMUD is really two TALMUDS, for there was one systematic commentary
for the MISHNAH, composed by Rabbis in the landoflsrael (Palestine
- hence called The PALESTINIAN TALMUD) or the TALMUD OF THE LORD
OF ISRAEL, Or the YERUSHOLOMI or theTALMUD OF JERUSALEM. The other was
composed by the Rabbis of Babylonia. The YERUSHOLOMI reached its conclusion
at about 4000 AD and the BOOLI or BABYLONIAN TALMUD, a century or two later.
(The BABYLONIAN TALMUD is the work
most often used by Orthodox Judaism, therefore it is the point of our interest.)
p. XXX
When The TALMUD raises an ethical question it speaks of "the good
way in which a person should walk, not necessarily in which a Jew
should walk."
(Emphasis added. Ed.) When it treats dilemmas
of social conflict, all parties to the conflict are assumed to be plain
men and women - Jewish men and women to be sure . . . the discipline of
the TORAH is the revealed will of God given to the people of Israel (Jews),
and while the Rabbis are well aware that some people are Jews and many
are not, The TALMUD is essentially interested in Jews.
At this point, we look into the main body
of the book.
p.1 The
TALMUD IS THE SINGLE MOST INFLUENTIAL DOCUMENT In the history of Judaism.
It might be well for us to realize at this
point that Judaism did not exist as a religion until the Babylonian captivity,
about 590 BC. The Judahites went into captivity in Babylon as Hebrews,
but returned seventy years later as Jews with a heathen occult religion
which became known as JUDAISM. Theodore Hertzl, the father of the modern
Zionist Movement once said: "It was during the Babylonian captivity
that Israel (The majority of the tribes of Judah and Benjamin,
along with the ten tribes of Israel, had been taken into captivity by the
Assyrians some 150 years earlier and no longer lived in that area. Those
who remained of the tribes of Judah and Benjamin were subsequently captured
by the Babylonians and moved to Babylon to live and became known as Jews.
Ed.) found itself. It not only rediscovered the TORAH, and made it their
rule of life, but under its influence new religious instructions, such
as the synagogues . . . came into existence."
1. They
saw themselves as men of wisdom. This view of themselves led to the emphasis
of two instructions:
The rabbis were not the ones who held power
in the Jewish community. In the first century AD, Judea, and those who
lived there who had become known as Jews, were under Roman control, and
Babylonia was a province in the Persian (Iranian) Empire. But the day-to-day
governing of the Jewish people was left in the hands of a Jewish authority
who, when holding the title, was called the EXILARCH. This meant he was
the ruler of the Jewish community while they were in exile from the Holy
Land. He was recognized by the Romans because he served the purposes of
Rome. When these Judahites lived in their own land, the leaders were called
"PATRIARCHS" and they ran the country to maintain the peace and well-being
of the people.

what was already known.
2. These wise men
perceived that the land they dwelt in, Palestine, was holy.
1. The
temple and its cult.
A world of difference separates the ordinary
Jew from the rabbi. The rabbi is separated because his social life is completely
alien to that of outsiders, and because of his study. The Jewish people
listen to the Scriptures and to the TORAH as it is read in the synagogue.
They observe the Sabbath and most of the ritualistic laws, but they under-stand
the TORAH and The Talmud about as much as the average Christian
understands the Bible. When a question arises, just as in the Christian
realm, instead of searching for the answer themselves, they go to the rabbi
just as the Christian goes to his pastor. The rabbis teach that what the
average Jew does not understand about God, they, the rabbis, do understand.
This is really not so much different from the dogmas of some preachers.
ZERAIM, 11 tracates, with 74
chapters;
It is obvious we are dealing with a book
a good deal larger than our Holy Bible.
INVITATION
TO THE TALMUD:"As I urged you upon my
departure for Macedonia, remain on at Ephesus, in order that you may instruct
certain men not to teach strange doctrines, nor to pay attention to myths
and endless genealogies, which give rise to mere speculation rather than
furthering God's provision which is by faith." (I Timothy 1:3-4)
This latter verse indicates that Christians
are not to follow "cunningly devised fables (tales)." Unfortunately, many
Christians have overlooked this admonition in their eagerness to accept
Jewish teachings as the truth.
Let's see what the ancient
rabbis have to say about it then we will decide.
Where the Christian Bible says:
Thus saith the Lord!
The Talmud says:
Thus saith rabbi so-and-so.
The Talmudic rabbis, like their liberal
counterparts today, believed that "environment, or society, forms the individual."
So they teach that in order for man to be righteous in the eyes of God,
he must give strict observance to the rabbinical laws not as laid down
by God, but as interpreted by the ancient rabbis. So the Jew concentrates
on such things as racial issues and uses the other races whom he despises
and calls "goyim" (non-Jew animals) for his ulterior purposes in changing
society to conform to his ideas and his one-world objectives. He is willing
to use the black man as cannon fodder in a racial conflict if it will further
his desired changes in the world. You will come to understand this more
fully as The Talmud itself reveals beliefs and practices toward
the goyim. In his review, Dr. Neusner adheres closely to the positive aspects
of Talmudic teaching and makes no references whatsoever to the unnatural
teachings toward the non-Jew.
Put men and women in the proper
environment and they will become as God.
Christians say:
There must be a change of heart.
Ye MUST be born again! (John 3:3)
Dr. Neusner makes a remark on page 287
which cannot be substantiated in Jewish life. He states that the teaching
of The Talmud brings about a: "renunciation of brute power, affirmation
of the force of ideas and reason . . . these represent the Jewish discovery."
The Talmud
raised
abiding skepticism about what people offered as salvation as the final
solution to the problems of the human condition. The Talmudists did not
expect final solutions and were trained to ask devastating questions about
their finality. The Talmud readied the Jews for the modern situation of
doubt, of provisional truths, and hypotheses subject to testing and revision.
It is for this reason that Judaism is built
upon the foundation of shifting sand. It can be revised in any age, to
fit the whims of the people. It fits Paul's admonition in II Timothy 4:3
- 4:
For the time will come when they (the people) will not endure
(put
up with) sound doctrine,' but after their own lusts (desires for
material things) shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching
ears; and they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be
turned into fables.
The
best proof of the duty to make reasonable decisions among unreasonable
alternative was the Jews themselves, who, because of their international
character and their memories of many lands and empires, saw the world in
all its complex plurality (this is the Jewish one-world mentality, Ed.)
but they chose to form the most vivid and intense of all groups, to sustain
what is after all the most particular
(and peculiar, Ed.) of all
literary traditions, the Talmud itself. Yet they did so in full knowledge
that their group (Jews, Ed.) was not co-extensive (having extent
with time and place, Ed.) with society . . ."
This is one of the reasons Jews were expelled
from every country in Europe at one time or other. It was not because they
were "God's chosen people whom Satan hated," as Baptist evangelist Jack
Van Impe implies, but because of their anti-social, treasonous efforts
against every people who tried to help them. This is one of the major reasons
that American Jews, citizens of this country who have pledged their loyalty
to America, will nevertheless give their first loyalty to world Judaism
and its international government. This is why we have seen so many Jews
tried for treason in America since World War II. Their first loyalty is
to World Zionism and any program, or political persuasion, which will further
its purpose.
