![WHY DON’T TODAY’S JEWISH RABBI’S BELIEVE JESUS CHRIST IS THE PROMISED MESSIAH THEY HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR? [2 of 3] At the time He walked the earth, Jesus spoke out about the vast quantity of manmade traditions foisted on the Jewish people by Judaism’s rabbinical leaders. In fact, the Jewish Talmud (oral laws) lists 3000 laws handed down by the Jewish leaders—just for planting zucchini!—not to mention how it must be cooked and eaten. Wow! Obviously, the creators of all those tedious, religious practices had their followers mired in worthless works, focusing them away from the heart of God. Those men used the laws they created to control people, just as so many manmade faiths do today. Jesus said the rabbi’s looked good on the outside, but inside they were stumbling blocks to people having a relationship with God. Those false teachers were greatly burdening the Jews with all their
traditions, a practice Orthodox Judaism continues today. | image tagged in talmud,jewish,laws,god,bible,rabbi | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/5yvjs2.jpg)
![WHY DON’T TODAY’S JEWISH RABBI’S BELIEVE JESUS CHRIST IS THE PROMISED MESSIAH THEY HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR? [1 of 3] As human beings, we don't like to admit we’re wrong, especially when we must confess to being hopelessly sinful. Our human nature loves power and control, while we also want to feel special, important, and valuable. Knowing this, we should not be surprised when the Bible tells us humans had a similar mindset two thousand years ago, during a time of widespread religious hypocrisy and corruption—like today. So, the love and pursuit of power and control—mixed with religion—was also pervasive way back then. With all this in mind, is it possible that those rabbi’s accused Jesus and His followers of idol worship because they feared Christ’s ministry would cause them to lose power and status? Historical researchers located about twenty ancient sources, including the Dead Sea Scrolls, Josephus, and rabbinic writings that detail how absolutely corrupt Israel’s religious leaders were during that time of the Second Temple. They wanted Jesus dead, even though He let them know He hadn’t come to abolish God’s laws; He said He came to fulfill them. What Jesus did reject were the manmade traditions invented and hallowed by the rabbi’s of Christ’s day. Those
were called the “oral law.” But Jesus knew that tradition just
produces religion, and religion distances us from God. | image tagged in rabbi,jewish,god,bible,jesus,israel | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/5yvjh8.jpg)
![DO JEWISH PEOPLE THINK CHRISTIANS WORSHIP THREE GODS? [2 of 2] Besides Jesus professing that “the Lord our God is one,” and Genesis using the plural-word “Elohim” for God, we have many ways to explain how the Trinity can be both three and one. For example, I’m a husband, father, and pastor—no wonder I'm tired—but which one is not me? Being made in God’s image, you and I have a spirit, soul, and body, but which is not us? We can also mathematically represent the truth of Trinity:; Jewish people believe the New Testament’s depiction of the Trinity means the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit must be represented as 1 + 1 + 1 = 3, but the Bible tells us it is 1 x 1 x 1 = 1. So, even with the mathematics of God, three can be one. Yes, God presents himself as the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, but He is still one guy, one Elohim saying, “Let us make man in our image.” Then there is the classic example: When water is left alone, it presents as a liquid, but when frozen water becomes a solid, and when heated
it turns into a vapor. Which one of those is not water? | image tagged in trinity,god,jesus,holy spirit,christian,bible | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/5yvj94.jpg)
![DO JEWISH PEOPLE THINK CHRISTIANS WORSHIP THREE GODS? [1 of 2] When witnessing about Christ to those in the religion of Judaism, you may hear them say Christians believe in three Gods, but Jews have only one. Jewish people choke on the idea of the Trinity, though a quick explanation shows it is not an issue. In fact, even Jesus taught that there is only one God: Christ quoted Deuteronomy 6:4 from the Jewish (and Christian) Old Testament when questioned by a scribe who asked Him, “Which commandment is the most important of all?”; Jesus answered, “The most important one is this: ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one.’ ” So, Christ certainly supported there being only one God. And we can reciprocate with this challenging question for a Jewish person: Who is Scripture talking about in your—and Christian’s—Old Testament book of Genesis (1:26), when God says, "Let us make man in our image." Genesis uses the Hebrew word “Elohim,” which means a plural
number. Hmmm, there's some food for thought, and that's in the first chapter
of the Jewish Torah (the first five books of the Old Testament). | image tagged in jewish,christian,trinity,god,jesus,holy spirit | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/5yvipm.jpg)
![WHAT IS ORTHODOX JUDAISM? [4 of 5] Self-focused individuals, living with billions of others around the planet, want to feel special. But every human is already exceptional: God fashioned each of us in our mother’s womb, every one of us a unique, notable, special creation. But the vast majority of humanity—the broad swath (road) mentioned in Scripture—do not take the time to learn God’s Word in the Bible, where each person would find out that he or she is completely unique, made exactly the way God wanted them. Unfortunately, most people do not put the Armor of God by reading the Bible, so they easily fall for even the simplest
of deceptions that are constantly put out by people doing Satan’s
bidding—whether those satanically duped people know it or not. Men and women easily become enamored with false teachers claiming to have secret knowledge that has never been taught before. These charlatans claim they received their special knowledge as a direct download from God, and He personally picked this (false) teacher to receive information that no one else was given. Now they are being gracious enough to pass it onto you and me. But these self-aggrandizing frauds are just tossing us trash, the same old recycled garbage. Yet, plenty of unknowingly deceived people will slave for those lies and pay out a lot of money to them—all resulting in an
eternity in hell, if they don’t find Jesus before death. | image tagged in orthodox,jewish,judaism,works,god,bible | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/5yrqvq.jpg)
![WHAT IS ORTHODOX JUDAISM? [3 of 5] The branch of Orthodox Judaism called Hasidim Orthodox (Hasidic-Orthodox Jews) is where we find the practice of Jewish Kabbalah. And those beliefs closely resemble some of the Grecian-originated ideas that surround "gnosis," which means "knowledge" in Greek. Practitioners of gnosis (Gnostics) claim to have special knowledge of spiritual mysteries. When you place an "a" in front of “gnostic,” you get "agnostic," which means a person with "no” knowledge. In practice, agnostics profess that they don’t have enough knowledge to determine whether God does or does not exist (atheists claim to believe there is no God). Near the time of its manmade origins, Gnosticism involved people and ideas that even the
New Testament’s Apostle Paul had to deal with. Two thousand years later,
Kabbalah is a kind of a warmed-over version of Gnosticism, and it has the
same feel as Westernized Hinduism, which is the root of the relatively
recent religion called New Age—which also grew out of Kabbalah. Again, Satan only recycles old lies, like the false beliefs of Gnosticism, just repackaging whatever has been previously successful at fooling a lot of people. Of course, this is why we must learn history, especially the biblical record. Normally, an initial version of Satan’s lie can dupe many generations, but only until biblically sound people counter it with God’s truth. That’s no problem for Lucifer; he just waits a while and then repackages the same core deception, like how he turned the discredited religion of Gnosticism into Kabbalah, and then waited a few more generations to relabel the same occult practices as New Age. In fact, you can trace the sewage pipe of occultism all the way back to the Tower of Babel, where God judged their satanic
practices by confusing the language, which caused common-language groups to
spread out around the world, landing in places like the Indus River Valley. There
in what is now India, those Babylonian occult practices became Hinduism.
Again, elsewhere it developed into Gnosticism that became modern-day
Kabbalah, which produced the New Age movement. | image tagged in othodox,jew,judaism,god,bible,hindu | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/5yrq5f.jpg)
![WHAT IS ORTHODOX JUDAISM? [2 of 5] Orthodox Judaism encompasses both the academic-focused Modern Orthodox, as well as Hasidim Orthodox, the latter being the more mystical practice. Hasidic Jews are the men you see wearing skull caps and black or dark-gray suits. These Jewish mystics exhibit similar spiritual behaviors to those in the Charismatic movement that is a part of the modern, American, Christian Church. Mystical Judaism today is called Kabbalah, and the highly influential singer Madonna is one its major followers and promoters. The roots of Kabbalah’s mystic practices developed between the 500s
and 1300s AD, among late-Babylonian, Italian, French, and Spanish
Jews. Kabbalah means "to receive," meaning the followers claim
to receive ongoing, higher, better, and newer revelations from God—; —just as today’s Charismatic community claims. Earlier in Judaism, Kabbalah was mainstream, but then later came to be the practice of only a few “special” Jews who God exclusively blesses with some supposed “true meanings” of Scripture—they get so-called secret knowledge. Because God singled them out to receive His “real truth,” how dare we question them? And doesn’t that sound similar to the attitude of Roman Catholicism, where followers are taught to refrain from interpreting the Bible for themselves—that’s reserved for the learned Catholic priests. Only they possess the unique “specially given ability” to understand and interpret Scripture. The
same sort of claim comes from Kabbalah leadership who run
a cult organization performing occult practices. | image tagged in orthodox,hasidic,jew,judaism,god,bible | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/5yrotf.jpg)
![WHAT IS ORTHODOX JUDAISM? [1 of 5] Of the Jewish religion’s three main branches that also include Reform and Conservative, Orthodox Judaism is the traditional practice that strictly follows the laws and ethics in the Talmud, or the Oral Law, which has been laid down by history’s Jewish leaders—rabbi’s—just men. So, Judaism is a system that focuses on following the traditions imposed by men, and not on the Word of God given to us in the Old and New Testaments. An Orthodox Jew generally adheres to the thirteen articles of faith and 613 mitzvahs (commandments). To be considered an Orthodox Jew, there are core practices that must be performed and acts to refrain from. The latter involve prohibitions against murder, idolatry, certain
sexual practices, and many, many, many, many, many other things. Those in this Orthodox system are also plagued by a similar mentality to Christians who think they are a bound for heaven because they “mostly” obey the Ten Commandments, or because they are at least better than another person of their choosing, maybe “granting themselves” eternity in heaven just because they haven't killed anyone. This is the same misconception as an Orthodox Jew who believes they can work their own way to heaven. Orthodox Jews face a mountain of needed works, just a few of which are refraining from activities that violate the Jewish Sabbath and holidays, performing the required circumcision of males,
and keeping dietary and family-purity laws, like only marrying
someone that is also involved with the Jewish faith. | image tagged in orthodox,judaism,god,reform,conservative,jew | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/5yro4h.jpg)
![DID GOD CREATE SOME DEFAULT LAW THAT GRANTS
ENTRANCE INTO HEAVEN FOR “RELATIVELY GOOD” SINNERS? As a pastor who travels frequently throughout America and also to many nations around the world, (for conferences, interviews, and other public speaking), I talk with a diverse population. One common, misinformed, and alarming misconception is presented to me by people everywhere, and it is because they do not investigate this monumentally important claim that has them clinging to a completely false hope: Men and women all around the planet rely on their ticket to a pleasant eternity being their status a “relatively good person,” or “fairly good person." But that doesn't make you a Christian. Contrary to
that tragic delusion, Jesus said, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father [God in heaven] except through Me.” We have all broken God's law, whether it's lying, stealing, lusting, practicing idolatry by loving things or people more than God, breaking other commandments, or all of the above. Just one of those sins against our Creator is the constant self-focused idol worship of our modern society. According to God’s Word in the Bible, anything can become our idol, including money, possessions, television, other entertainment, a hobby, another person, or even
ourselves. When we get preoccupied with something to point where
that obsession is more important than our relationship with God,
it is idol worship. We’ve all done that, besides the fact that we
have all lied—claim you haven’t and you just lied again. | image tagged in works,christian,sin,god,bible,jesus | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/5yrmlk.jpg)
![WHAT IS THE TAOIST (OR, DAOIST) BRANCH OF BUDDHISM ALL ABOUT? [6 of 6] In God’s creation, there is no Taoist-type balance between good and evil. First Peter 5:8 says the devil is like a lion that wonders around roaring. And Colossians 2:15 explains that Jesus whooped lion-like Lucifer when Christ died on the cross to glorify God and save all creation. One of my seminary instructors gave a perfect, biblical description of modern-day Satan, since he was wrecked by Jesus: He said, though the devil can still cause serious harm on earth, he is a defanged lion; Christ easily crushed his claim on our world. So, for today’s Christians, Lucifer is like a starving, declawed, toothless lion, dragging around his emaciated little body, trying to frighten people into doing what he says, but only managing to loudly smack his gums.
What reaction would you have if you saw that coming at you? Would you run, or would you tell that rat-headed liar to scram. Non-Christians face the same old lethal devil, but we who have the authority of Christ’s name wield His power over all evil. Bringing that back to the teachings of Taoism, a Christian’s wonderful life and amazing eternal future—spent with the Creator of the universe—is not what Taoists have; instead, their yin-and-yang mentality (“the force” in Star Wars) has them equating evil with God—which is ludicrous. Still, unfortunate people around the world (now including vast numbers of Westerners and even Christians) have accepted the Buddhist, Taoist, Star Wars mindset. Today, all those people are living a life of running scared, even though God has assured us of these facts: "I am God. Beside me, there is no other,” and “Greater is He [the Holy Spirit, or Spirit of Christ] that is in you [Christians]
than he [the evil spirit of the Antichrist] that is in this world.”
Praise God that we Christians never need to run scared! | image tagged in taoism,daoism,buddhism,god,devil,bible | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/5ynhrn.jpg)
![WHAT IS THE TAOIST (OR, DAOIST) BRANCH OF BUDDHISM ALL ABOUT? [3 of 6] Followers of Taoism vary in beliefs and practices, but among those are biblically abominable necromancy (contacting the dead) and Roman or Egyptian-type polytheism (worshiping many gods—Scripture also calls them idols). Taoists tend to worship mostly on their calendar’s religious holidays, setting food out as a sacrifice to the gods or the spirits of their departed ancestors. The Bible’s Deuteronomy shows us that God has some harsh condemnation for these Taoist practices: "When you enter the land that the Lord, your God has given you, do not learn to imitate the detestable ways of the nations there. Let no one be found among you who sacrifices his son or daughter into the fire, who practices
divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages in witchcraft or
casts spells, who is a medium or spiritist, or who consults with the
dead. Anyone who does these things is detestable to the Lord. And because these are detestable practices, the Lord, your God will drive out those nations before you. You, though, must be blameless before the Lord, your God.” Obviously, God detests the practices of those who communicate with dead people. Why is that? Well, once dead, if we were Christians, we instantly go to heaven to be with God. But non-Christians suddenly find themselves in hell. From that point, we remain in either place. Thank God we do not get kicked out of heaven, but hell is also permanent. Either way, we don’t travel back to have a chat with living friends or relatives on earth. There is no second chance and we can’t communicate with the living. That said, I believe people who say some spirit entity showed up and communicated with them, but the Bible is clear about what that is: it is not your loved one, no matter what kind of familiar, luminescent, friendly, or helpful demeanor the deceiving entity portrays.
Scripture warns that those are “familiar” spirits, just the same old demons that
have been duping people for thousands of years. Yet, the religion of Taoism
promotes these extremely dangerous encounters. | image tagged in taoism,daoism,buddhism,god,bible,hindu | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/5ynfgv.jpg)
