Why Christians Reject Judaizing?
Because they dismiss what Elohim says on behalf of what so-called "learned", "powerful" or famous men have to say, even though Yeshua asked them to do the opposite.
Revelation (Gilyanah) 2:29
29 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the congregations.
Well, this is what the Spirit says in reference to this discussion:
Isaiah (Yeshayahu) 8:20
20 To the Torah and to the Testimony! If they do not speak according to this Word, it is because they have no Dawn [ Beginning of Daylight = Beginning of Truth ].
Therefore:
- Those who minimize the importance and centrality of Torah have not even the beginning of Light (Truth) in them.
- Those who reject and dismiss Torah have not even a shred of Light (Truth) in them.
- Those who attack and teach against Torah have not even a small ray of Light (Truth) in them.
- Those who live their lives in contempt of Torah are rebellious sinners against the Almighty.
Most Christians are oblivious to the fact that since the very beginnings of this Era, there have been evil moles of Satan (
ravenous and vicious wolves in sheep's clothing) marauding the Messianic and Christian congregations — as well as many useful idiots — trying to rob Torah from Jews and Gentiles alike.
- These satanic moles are enemies of YHWH, and Yeshua too.
- These satanic moles are enemies of Israel.
- These satanic moles are enemies of Torah.
- These satanic moles are enemies of the Truth, which they do not have.
Meanwhile, the useful idiots bring about as much the same results for Satan as if they were conscious servants of him. This is why it is so necessary not to let pass any attempt to minimize, reject and/or destroy Torah and Israel.
Jude (Yahuda) 1:3
3 My dear ones, while I was trying really hard to write to you concerning our common Redemption, I felt the urgent necessity of writing to challenge you to seriously struggle for [ Gr. epagonizomai = to make a strenuous effort on behalf of ] the Faith which was ONCE entrusted to the Set-Apart Ones [ at Sinai ].
Now, who are these "Set-Apart Ones" that Yahuda is talking about?
Scripturally and historically speaking, the People of Israel are the ONLY people who have EVER been Set-Apart by YHWH. Ever! Saying anything different constitute mere wishful thinking. The Scriptures NEVER mention any other nation — or ANY other group of people — who have EVER been Set-Apart by the Almighty. ONLY Israel was given this privilege.
Then, what about all the Gentiles who accept Yeshua as the Messiah of Israel? They may be friends of Israel or sojourners in Israel; but they are not Israel, a new Israel, or anything quite like that, at all. Some of them have an honest and loving heart for the Elohim of Israel, which leads them to live good and sometimes exemplary lives. This may earn then the Favor of being invited to the Weddings of the Lamb, but not to get married to him, which is the sole Privilege of Israel. Of course, like in the case of the Gentile servants of the house of Abraham who were circumcised with him, this Privilege becomes extensive to them also if they get circumcise too, thus becoming part of Israel. The history of Israel is full of other examples of foreigners who become part of Israel. For example,
- Some Egyptians, and other foreigners, that came out of Egypt together with Israel.
- Zipporah the wife of Moses.
- Rehab, the harlot of Jericho (Yericho).
- Ruth the Moabite.
- The Philistines who integrated with, and got absorbed by, Israel.
Again, this was the last Instruction that YHWH gave to the people of Israel before leaving the land of slavery in Egypt. And let us remember that any last instruction tends to carry a lot of weight for whoever gives it.
Exodus (Shemoth) 12:43-51
43 YHWH said to Moses and Aharon, "This is the ordinance of the Passover: no foreigner is to eat of it; 44 but every man's slave purchased with money, after you have circumcised him, then he may eat of it. 45 A passer by, or a hired servant, shall not eat of it. 46 It is to be eaten in a single house; you are not to bring forth any of the flesh outside of the house, nor are you to break any bone of it. 47 All the Congregation of Israel are to celebrate this. 48 But if a stranger travels through you, and celebrates the Passover to YHWH, let all his males be circumcised, and then let him come near to celebrate it; and he shall be like a native of the land. But no uncircumcised person may eat of it. 49 The same Torah shall apply to the native as well as to the stranger who travels through you. 50 Then all the sons of Israel did so; they did just as YHWH had commanded Moses and Aharon. 51 And on that same day YHWH brought the sons of Israel out of the land of Egypt by their hosts.
Leviticus (Wayikra) 24:22
22 There shall be one standard for you. It shall be for the stranger as well as the native, for I am YHWH your Elohim.
- YHWH gave this Instruction because many foreigners came out of Egypt together with them.
- YHWH gave this Instruction because He wanted — and He still does — to preserve the integrity of His Set-Apart People, Israel.
When Gentiles are truly spiritually reborn they feel the necessity to come under the Covenant of YHWH, and so to acquire a new nationality — or new citizenship — i.e. to be part od Israel. What Paul did was to offer a false alternative that would attempt to emotionally fill such a spiritual need. He initiated the highly deceptive concept know as "Replacement Theology." In this Pauline theology:
- For the time being, Israel has been replaced by the Christian Church for all intent and purposes in front of HaShem. According to this Israel is not the "Kingdom of Priests and a Set Apart Nation" as YHWH stated in Exodus 19:6, now the amorphous Church is!
- All the positive meanings and blessings meanings in Torah and Tanakh are for Christians, not for the Jews (e.g. Song of Songs describes the Love of Adonai for the Church, not Israel) — but all the bad meanings still remain for the Jews!
- The Covenants of YHWH with Abraham and Moses have been replaced by a New Covenant — the one prophesied by Jeremiah which will be exclusively constituted between YHWH and Israel at the Messianic Kingdom and, therefore, has not yet been established!
Jeremiah (Yirmeyahu) 31:31
31 "See, a time is coming" — declares YHWH — "when I will make a New Covenant with the House of Israel and the House of Judah [ not with any kind of Gentiles, spiritual or not ]."
- The Commands and Regulations of Torah have been replaced by the teachings of Paul — not even Yeshua!
Christians should realize that Yeshua only taught Torah, nothing else. On the other hand, he referred to the New Covenant, but he never said that it was already enacted, reason why he never mentions any stipulation of it, neither did he ask for its acceptance as it was in the case of the other ones. Christian theologians have built an entire city out of one single grain of sand.
All those Gentiles who have a sincere heart for the Elohim of Israel should also have a heart and mind for His Way, which unavoidably leads to Jerusalem, not for any man-concocted Hellenizing teaching that leads to Babylon. Written Torah, and its embodiment which is Yeshua, is the only Way given by YHWH that leads to his Throne which is found in Jerusalem and nowhere else. Therefore these Gentiles should live like Jews, i.e. in obedience to Torah.
Gentiles are accepted in the Kingdom of Heaven under the Premises clearly established by the Redemption Covenant found in Torah, and not under any Gentile theological jogglings which displaces — and replaces — Israel as the only Set-Apart human congregation for YHWH on behalf of an amorphous foreign group of Gentiles. It is because of this fact that Gentiles cannot find Redemption apart from form Circumcision and Israel. Again, this is so because the Covenant which administers Redemption was given exclusively to Israel. And if you think about Messiah, remember that he was proclaimed the King of Israel, no the King of Gentiles nor the King of the Church, all of which is self-serving Christian concoctions. If Messiah is the King of Israel, how can he be your King unless you enter into Israel by the regulations given by YHWH in Torah for people like you? Can you by any chance go into another country and become one of its citizens by the rules and laws of your original country? At of this moment, only Israel is the Kingdom of Messiah. (The universal Messianic Kingdom is on its way, but it has not been established yet.) Therefore, no matter what Paul might have said, if you are not part of Israel you are not part of the Kingdom of Messiah!
I am sorry, I know that the above statement is very shocking, but notwithstanding it is very true. Most Christians and many Messianics will come up with many emotional arguments trying to deny it; but emotional arguments are entirely invalid in issues like this. Many will say things like, "What, are you telling me that my dear mom and saintly granny are in Hell?!" My answer to such argumentation is to respond that I am not their Judge, so I do not and cannot pass judgement on their actual situation. I can only believe, trust and accept the Laws and Judgment of my King of Heaven, and then tell his Truth as revealed in Torah; I can do no more. I do not judge people, I judge ideas; and when I judge some people, as I do with Paul of Tarsus, I do it because they were/are public figures with the capacity to destroy lives, as he did. But mommies and grannies I surely do not. And remember, as a convert to Judaism I wonder the same sad inquisitive question; but I trust in the Graceful Judgement of my King. Can some Gentiles find what Christians call "Salvation"? Probably. Who would I be to put limits to Elohim? Yeshua talked about "guests" in the Weddings of the Lamb. Surely they will have lots of fun, but they do not go with the Groom into the Chamber; they will stay outside of it because only the Bride can marry, i.e. Israel.
Please, do not analyze these things with your emotions, but with your mind and your spirit. But, please, do it in all honesty. After all, the Truth of this Matter does not depend on if our mommies and grannies got it right or not, and/or if they ended up in the Good Place or not. In front of the Truth of the Almighty, it is as if you — or I — were absolutely alone in the universe — just you and Him, Face to face, no one else.
Isaiah 56:1-8
1 Thus says YHWH, "Preserve Justice and do Righteousness, because My Salvation is about to come, and My Righteousness to be revealed.
2 How blessed is the man who does this, and the son of man who takes hold of it, who keeps from profaning the Shabbath, and keeps his hand from doing any evil.
3 Let not the foreigner who has joined himself to YHWH say, "YHWH will surely separate me from His People." Nor let the eunuch say, "Behold, I am a dry tree." 4 Because this is what YHWH says, "To the eunuchs who keep My Shabbaths, and choose what pleases Me, and hang on to My Covenant, 5 to them I will give in My House and within My Walls a Memorial, and a Name better than that of sons and daughters: I will give them an Everlasting Name which will not be cut off.
6 Also the foreigners who join themselves to YHWH to minister to Him, and to love the Name of YHWH, to be His servants, every one who keeps from profaning the Shabbath and holds fast My Covenant; 7 Even those I will bring to My Holy Mountain and make them joyful in My House of Prayer. Their burnt offerings and their sacrifices will be acceptable on My Altar because My House will be called a 'House of Prayer for all the peoples'."
8 YHWH Elohim, who gathers the dispersed of Israel, declares, "Yet others I will gather to them the Jewish people — to those already gathered."
Deuteronomy (Devarim) 7:6
6 For YOU [ Israel ] are a Set-Apart People to YHWH your Elohim. YHWH your Elohim has chosen YOU [ Israel ] to be a people for His Own Possession, out of all the peoples who are on the face of the earth.
Who would dispute this fact, but someone coming from Satan? Those who know the Jewish Scriptures know that there are plenty more other verses like this one in Torah.
The Replacement Road To Babylon
The Roman Catholic doctrine known as 'Replacement Theology' — which was directly inherited by Protestants and Evangelicals from the rabid anti-Semitism of Constantine I — postulates that the Gentile Christian "Church" replaced Israel in front of YHWH, because Israel was disobedient so many times, and because finally ended up giving Yeshua away to be put to death by the Romans (Italians). Such a satanic doctrine is anti-Scriptural and therefore is dead wrong and — worst yet — terribly rebellious. Israel — as the only priestly nation there is — had to put to Sacrificial Death the Appointed Lamb of YHWH. He had been Anointed for such a dreadful Occasion
(Among other things Israel had been set-apart for such a unique Purpose)
g) Despite of that, it was the Romans ( the Italians ) who gladly did the dirty work of murder by shedding His Innocent Blood at the stake
The greatest absurdity if history:
The Romans (Italians) were who truly put Yeshua to death, physically speaking.
Notwithstanding, relatively soon after that Event, their descendants told the world that Israel had been rejected by Yeshua.
Therefore, they said, Israel had been displaced, and replaced, by the amorphous congregation of Gentile believers (known as the Christian Church) which highest constituents were Romans, just like those who had physically killed Messiah!
Because of the infinite Mercy of YHWH, and on account of the Eternal Promise He made to our ancestors Abraham, Yitzhak and Ya'akov — despite all her many rebellions which brought many consequential punishments over her — Israel has never lost its Covenant, Blessings, Place or Position, and Standing in front of the Almighty.
I. YHWH's Mercy is Eternal for the Children of His ancient Friends
II. In the same way is His Word, which was once given to our forefathers in the desert
III. Because of YHWH's Character — not Israel's — Israel still stands, and so it will forever.
Lamentations (Eichah) 3:22-23
22 YHWH's Lovingkindness indeed never cease because His Compassions never fail. 23 They are new every morning. Great is Your Faithfulness!
Bamidbar (Numbers) 23:19
19 Elohim is not a man, so that He would lie — nor a son of man, that He would repent. If He Has said, will He not do it? Or if has He spoken, will He not make it good?
Malachi (Mal'aki) 3:6
6 Therefore, because I, YHWH, do not change, you, oh sons of Ya'akov, are not consumed.
Psalm (Tehillim) 105:7-10
7 He is YHWH our Elohim — His Judgments are in all the earth. 8 He has remembered His Covenant FOREVER, the Word which He decreed to a thousand generations, 9 the Covenant which He made with Abraham, and His oath to Yitzhak. 10 Then He confirmed it to Ya'akov for a Statute, to Israel as an Everlasting Covenant.
i. In front of this, I wonder what part of EVERLASTING "Replacement theorists" cannot understand?
ii. The fact that Yeshua Himself said these very Words should be sufficient information in reference to the Covenant of YHWH with Israel as for Christians to know that after Yeshua's Death and Resurrection nothing would ever change between YHWH and Israel
iii. The replacement of Israel by the never-unified, and never-homogenized, Gentile Christian congregations is totally unscriptural and therefore baseless
iv. The displacement of the eternally-bounding Torah — as the YHWH-given protective Norm of life; as the basis for a unique Culture ordained by the Highest One; and as the source for the very Religion that Yeshua practiced and taught — and its subsequent replacement by the writings of the New Testament, is totally baseless, unscriptural, and therefore invalid.
Revelation (Gilyanah) 1:12-13
12 Then, I turned to see the Voice that was speaking with me. And having turned, I saw seven Golden Menorahs. 13 And in the middle of the Menorahs I saw one like a Son of Man, clothed in a Robe reaching to the feet, and girded across his chest with a Golden Sash.
- These Menorahs clearly denote that the YHWH-given-to-Israel Torah Culture is prevalent in Heaven — even after the Ascension of Messiah !!!
- The Torah Culture, as revealed to Moses in Sinai, is an extension of the Culture of Heaven.
- The Way of Life revealed in Torah to Israel is the normal Way of Life in Heaven.
Isaiah 66:22-24
22 "For just as the New Heavens and the New Earth, which I make, will endure before Me," declares YHWH, "So your offspring and your name will endure. 23 And it shall be from new moon to new moon, and from Shabbath to Shabbath, all mankind will come to bow down before Me," says YHWH. 24 Then they will go forth and look upon the corpses of the men who have transgressed [ Torah ] against Me. For their worm will not die and their fire will not be quenched — and they will be an abhorrence to all mankind.
