![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)
