To Be Jewish
or
to be Israeli?
Just having a name "Jew" that could mean "Praise God" does not automaticly mean that you lead of life of holiness, righteousness, reverence, praising the Lord God.
Have you ever read of the Bible and draw your sustenance therefrom?
Have you worshipped the Lord in Spirit and in Truth?
Do you literally worship scrolls, stones or personal belongings of 'Holy Men'?
Do you kiss scrolls and parade with them? Idolatry?
Do you pray against the stones of the retaining/wailing wall? Idolatry?
Do you know the Bible does not ask for such act and effort?
And the Qur'an - unlike the New Testament - you have not condemned to burning? Idolatry? Biasness?
Do you want to be idolators, against the decree of the Almighty God?
Do you know that Moses held up a bronze/copper serpent on a tree/pole for the Israeli to look at in the wilderness in order to be healed? (Numbers 21v9)
Would you call that Idolatry?
So much for the wooden cross Christians hold up and look at. It is a symbol, the symbol of the victory of Christ(HaMeshiah) against sin and death; and not a god.
In Judaism is Legalism; in God is mercies and lovingkindness and forgiveness.
Love is as strong as death. Many waters cannot quench love.
Do you care for and treat needy Gentiles because of love/charity, without taking/receiving payment? Do you dare to violate the teachings of Maimonides for the love of God and your fellow mankind/Gentiles?
Who is your master? The Almighty whose Holy Name you are careful not to pronounce properly for fear of offending Him? or the tradition of the elders that has overwhelmed you from early days?
Behold! Yhwh has desired to set you free through His Word/Son Yeshua. The righteous shall live by faith (Habakkuk 2v4).
Hebrews 4 vv9-10. Entering the rest of God, entering another Sabbath.
Very often you just could not differentiate between a true enemy and a friend. Vengeance is of the Lord; He will repay exactly.
"The best of Gentiles - kill him!"' Siftey Kohen and Turey Zahay.
You believe that? You follow that?
You follow your Halakhah more than your Bible? Have you bought/obtained a Bible yet?
How much do you despise your own Bible?
Matthew Ch15
Mark Ch7
v8. You have let go of the commands of God and are holding on to the traditions of men."
Colossians Ch2
1 John Ch4 v18
v1. Then some Pharisees and teachers of the law came to Jesus from Jerusalem and asked,
v2. "Why do your disciples break the tradition of the elders? They don't wash their hands before they eat!"
v3. Jesus replied, "And why do you break the command of God for the sake of your tradition?
v6. he is not to `honor his father ' with it. Thus you nullify the word of God for the sake of your tradition.
9. And he said to them: "You have a fine way of setting aside the commands of God in order to observe your own traditions!
10. For Moses said, `Honor your father and your mother,' and, `Anyone who curses his father or mother must be put to death.'
11. But you say that if a man says to his father or mother: `Whatever help you might otherwise have received from me is Corban' (that is, a gift devoted to God),
12. then you no longer let him do anything for his father or mother.
13. Thus you nullify the word of God by your tradition that you have handed down. And you do many things like that."
14. Again Jesus called the crowd to him and said, "Listen to me, everyone, and understand this.
15. Nothing outside a man can make him `unclean' by going into him. Rather, it is what comes out of a man that makes him `unclean.' "
v8. See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the basic principles of this world rather than on Christ.
There is no fear in love.
Is a Gentile a fellow man of a Jew? Is he a neighbor of a Jew? Is he living next to a Jew? Has he been helping Jews?
What does the Mitzvah teach? And what does scripture teach?
How do you love him?
For "God is Love".
Are you of God? Are Jews of God? Any contradiction?
Read also 1 John 4 v10
Would you struggle with the Almighty? Yisra Elshaddai Yhwh?
Or would you just rest comfortably as Jewish?
The words of the sages are not prophesies; otherwise they would have been called so. They simply are not scriptures, the Word of God.
Rather than practicing benevolence and love, many Jews opted to practice self-centreness, and hating all outside their 'circle of supposed blessings'.
In the most important section of the weekday prayer - the 'eighteen blessings' - there is a special curse, originally directed against Christians, Jewish converts to Christianity and other Jewish heretics: 'And may the apostates('61) have no hope, and all the Christians perish instantly'.
Do you pious Jews utter curse when passing near a Gentile cemetery?
And do you pious Jews upon seeing a large Gentile population utter a curse?
Does the Talmud teach you to hate and be biased? Have you personally use the teachings of the Holy Scriptures for the occasions instead?
Is this how your, supposed to be, "saving faith" functions?
D.Lim: Why not leave the judgement to God? Is the hand of god too short to save, that He requires your help, your cursing?
Where is your love and care for outsiders? How could you demand love and care in return from those you hate and scorn perpetually? Where is your justice? Where is Fair Play?
By the measurement you measured for others, should it not be measured to you? For the Lord God is righteous, hating biased balance.
Do you befriend any Gentile in truth and in love?
For your sages of blessed memory said: 'what is hateful to you do not do to your friend'.
Would you harm your Gentile friends in anyway? Or are you just being hypocritical and never did accept any Gentile as your friend?
Would you give up your life for your friend/s?
The Lord Jesus Christ (Yeshua HaMeshiach) would and has. And He is risen to bless you and me who would believe and trust in His redemption of us from sin and Satan/the Evil One.
He who would even give up His life for us and for the obedience to the Father is our friend, Lord, leader, Messiah, and God indeed. He is the Life, the Truth and the Way.
Do you see the dilemma of selfishness, biasness, separation?
Do you yearn for the forgiving Love of God?
D.Lim: Love them as your neighbors. Love them into the union with God Most High. Love your enemies, and do good to those who hate you.
Bible Christians love you; by the command and love of God. This is what the Bible teaches. Would you like to read it yourselves?
Do you believe the Jewish people are the best of the human species, created to know their Creator and worship Him, and worthy of having slaves to serve them?
You know that there are more non-religious, atheist Jews than pious religious ones. Do they serve God? The majority of the State of Israel does not. The majority of your countrymen do not.
At least not in your religious ways. At least not according to the Talmud, and much less according to the Bible.
Be Yisraeli instead.
For the true Yisraeli worships Yhwh, who is Spirit, in truth and in spirit, and not according to birthright.
Job was not Jewish. Enoch and Noah were not. Yet they are blessed by God as recorded in the Holy Scriptures.
Jesus is the ANSWER
Yeshua Hamessiah Melech Yisrael Sar Shalom
Jesus the Christ King of Israel Prince of Peace
Christ died on the cross, for sinners, that whoever trust in Him may be saved.
Repent and be baptised into the Lord God.
('61) The Hebrew word is meshummadim, which in rabbinical usage refers to Jews who become 'idolators', that is either pagan or Christians, but not to Jewish converts to Islam.
