Anti Semites and Anti Missionaries Poisoning the Spiritual Well: "Jews Don't Believe In Jesus"

First, the following verse means only that salvation is not a Jews-only thing. Whichever Anti Semite first used this verse to deny Jews our ethnicity and our heritage owes us an apology:


"[T]here is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor freeman, neither male nor female; for in union with the Messiah Yeshua, you are all one."

That verse simply means that everyone gets equal treatment in terms of that we are not better or worse than each other. All Jews, gentiles, slaves, free persons, men, women, and other persons in the Messiah Yeshua are sinners and have been redeemed by Yeshua the Messiah. Secondly:

"8 These are the names of Isra'el's children who came into Egypt, Ya'akov and his sons: Re'uven Ya'akov's firstborn; 9 and the sons of Re'uven - Hanokh, Pallu, Hetzron and Karmi. 10 The sons of Shim'on: Y'mu'el, Yamin, Ohad, Yakhin, Tzochar and Sha'ul the son of a Kena'ani woman. 11 The sons of Levi: Gershon, K'hat and M'rari.12 The sons of Y'hudah: 'Er, Onan, Shelah, Peretz and Zerach; but 'Er and Onan died in the land of Kena'an. The sons of Peretz were Hetzron and Hamul. 13 The sons of Yissakhar: Tola, Puvah, Yov and Shimron. 14 The sons of Z'vulun: Sered, Elon and Yachle'el. 15 These were the children of Le'ah whom she bore to Ya'akov in Paddan-Aram, with his daughter Dinah. In sum, his sons and daughters numbered thirty-three. 16 The sons of Gad: Tzifyon, Haggi, Shuni, Etzbon, 'Eri, Arodi and Ar'eli. 17 The children of Asher: Yimnah, Yishvah, Yishvi, B'ri'ah, and their sister Serach. The sons of B'ri'ah were Hever and Malki'el. 18 These were the children of Zilpah, whom Lavan gave to Le'ah his daughter; she bore them to Ya'akov - sixteen people. 19 The sons of Rachel Ya'akov's wife: Yosef and Binyamin. 20 To Yosef in the land of Egypt were born M'nasheh and Efrayim, whom Osnat the daughter of Poti-Fera priest of On bore to him. 21 The sons of Binyamin: Bela, Bekher, Ashbel, Gera, Na'aman, Echi, Rosh, Mupim, Hupim and Ard." 

Let's break this down for some of you: "Sha'ul the son of a Kena'ani woman", an eighth Patrilineally Jewish. Same with " 'Er, Onan, Shelah, Peretz and Zerach"; and "M'nasheh and Efrayim, whom Osnat the daughter of Poti-Fera priest of On bore to him". Later, M'nashe takes a Aramit concubine:

The descendants of M'nasheh: his concubine the woman from Aram bore Makhir the father of Gil'ad; Asri'el [Gil'ad's son] was descended from her. 15 Makhir's wife was from the families of Hupim and Shupim, and his sister's name was Ma'akhah. M'nasheh's second son was Tz'lof'chad, and Tz'lof'chad had daughters. 16 Ma'akhah the wife of Makhir bore a son whom she named Peresh, the name of his brother was Sheresh, and his sons were Ulam and Rekem. 17The son of Ulam was B'dan. These were the descendants of Gil'ad the son of Makhir the son of M'nasheh. 

Makhir was a 1/16th Patrilineally Jewish.

To conclude, you Anti Semites and Anti Missionaries need to grow up and quit trying to deny especially Messianic Jews our Jewish heritage.

One Follower on Twitter and Three Subscribers on YouTube Lost?

Ho hum. But as I said, "I guess that some Non-Messianic Jews who supposedly worship G-d, whether or not they intended to actually worship Sikkut and Kiyun, really read and considered 'Amos 5:21-27 carefully". So some people care about truth, even if some (as four people on YouTube and Twitter) don't. Even if I lost every single one of my friends in speaking the truth or raising a point about it, I'd rather have the truth than all the friends in the world-- let alone the world itself.

I Really Thought That I'd Actually Get More Heat For Asking the Sikkut and Kiyun Question...

I'm surprised that I haven't. I guess that some Non-Messianic Jews who supposedly worship G-d, whether or not they intended to actually worship Sikkut and Kiyun, really read and considered 'Amos 5:21-27 carefully:


21 "I hate, I utterly loathe your festivals; I take no pleasure in your solemn assemblies. 22 If you offer me burnt offerings and grain offerings, I will not accept them; nor will I consider the peace offerings of your stall-fed cattle. 23 Spare me the noise of your songs! I don't want to hear the strumming of your lutes! 24 Instead, let justice well up like water, and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream. 25 Did you bring me sacrifices and offerings in the desert forty years, house of Isra'el? 26 No, but now you will bear Sikkut as your king and Kiyun, your images, the star of your god, which you made for yourselves; 27 as I exile you beyond Dammesek," says Adonai ELOHEI-Tzva'ot - that is his name.

Here are the videos which I made on that very subject:

1. Are Non-Messianic Jews Worshipping Kiyun and Sikut Instead of G-d?
2. Re the Video About Who Non-Messianic Jews Worship: Questions Had To Be Asked
3. Can Non-Messianic Jews Even Worship G-d? The Answer Is "No!"
4. Why Only the Historical Jesus of Nazareth is the Biblical Messiah 

Re the Video About Who Non-Messianic Jews Worship: Questions Had To Be Asked

My last blog entry, in association with my second-to-most-recent video, featured Amos 5:21-27, Deuteronomy 18:15-19, and Acts 5:29-40. The very idea that Non-Messianic Jews may be unintentionally or even intentionally worshiping Sikkut and Kiyun is not a joke or Anti-Semitic idea. Even Isaiah 29:13-14 reads:


13 Then Adonai said: "Because these people approach me with empty words, and the honor they bestow on me is mere lip-service; while in fact they have distanced their hearts from me, and their 'fear of me' is just a mitzvah of human origin 14 therefore, I will have to keep shocking these people with astounding and amazing things, until the 'wisdom' of their 'wise ones' vanishes, and the 'discernment' of their 'discerning ones' is hidden away."


As for the verses that I mentioned:

Galatians 1:10-11

10 Now does that sound as if I were trying to win human approval? No! I want God's approval! Or that I'm trying to cater to people? If I were still doing that, I would not be a servant of the Messiah.11 Furthermore, let me make clear to you, brothers, that the Good News as I proclaim it is not a human product;

Galatians 2:4

4 Indeed, the question came up only because some men who pretended to be brothers had been sneaked in - they came in surreptitiously to spy out the freedom we have in the Messiah Yeshua, so that they might enslave us.

 

Galatians 5:10-11

10 I am confident that since you are united with the Lord, you will take no other view; and I am confident that the one who has been disturbing you, whoever he may be, will have to bear his punishment. 11 And as for me, brothers, if I am still preaching that circumcision is necessary, why am I still being persecuted? If that were the case, my preaching about the execution-stake would cause no offense whatever.

Believe me, by the way, when I say that Anti- and Counter-Missionaries try to come in pretending to be believers all the time. Some are even in the "Hebrew Roots" and similar movements.

You are to pay attention to him, 16 just as when you were assembled at Horev and requested ADONAI your God, 'Don't let me hear the voice of ADONAI my God any more, or let me see this great fire ever again; if I do, I will die!' 17 On that occasion ADONAI said to me, 'They are right in what they are saying. 18 I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their kinsmen. I will put my words in his mouth, and he will tell them everything I order him. 19 Whoever doesn't listen to my words, which he will speak in my name, will have to account for himself to me.
• 29 Kefa and the other emissaries answered, "We must obey God, not men. 30The God of our fathersl raised up Yeshua, whereas you men killed him by having him hanged on a stake. m 31 God has exalted this man at his right handn as Ruler and Savior, in order to enable Isra'el to do t'shuvah and have her sins forgiven. 32 We are witnesses to these things; so is the Ruach HaKodesh, whom God has given to those who obey him." 33 On hearing this, the members of the Sanhedrin were infuriated and wanted to put the emissaries to death. 34 But one of the members of the Sanhedrin rose to his feet, a Parush named Gamli'el, a teacher of the Torah highly respected by all the people. He ordered the men put outside for a little while 35 and then addressed the court: "Men of Isra'el, take care what you do to these people. 36 Some time ago, there was a rebellion under Todah, who claimed to be somebody special; and a number of men, maybe four hundred, rallied behind him. But upon his being put to death, his whole following was broken up and came to nothing. 37 After this, Y'hudah HaG'lili led another uprising, back at the time of the enrollment for the Roman tax; and he got some people to defect to him. But he was killed, and all his followers were scattered. 38 So in the present case, my advice to you is not to interfere with these people, but to leave them alone. For if this idea or this movement has a human origin, it will collapse. 39 But if it is from God, you will not be able to stop them; you might even find yourselves fighting God!" They heeded his advice. 40 After summoning the emissaries and flogging them, they commanded them not to speak in the name of Yeshua, and let them go.

Scary, isn't it? 

I Had To Report Antimissionary Divorah To Answers.com Because...

She was using much of Answer.com's Judaism and Messianic Judaism questions to persecute, lie about, attempt to inflame, and derogatorily attack Messianic Jews. Some of the outright lies included lies on even the Law of Return. Divorah's lie about the Law of Return is underlined below.

According to Wikipedia:

Messianic Jews are only considered eligible for the State of Israel's Law of Return if they can also claim Jewish descent.^[26] An assistant to one of the two lawyers involved with an April 2008 Supreme Court of Israel case explained to the Jerusalem Post that Messianics who are not Jewish according to Jewish law, but who had sufficient Jewish descent to qualify under the Law of Return, could claim automatic new immigrant status and citizenship despite being Messianics.^[145]

The state of Israel grants Aliyah (right of return) and citizenship to Jews, and to those with Jewish parents or grandparents who are not considered Jews according to halacha, e.g. people who have a Jewish father but a non-Jewish mother. Specifically excluded were any “person who has been a Jew and has voluntarily changed his religion.” An Israeli Supreme Court decision in 1989 ruled that Messianic Judaism constituted another religion.^[146] However, on April 16, 2008, the Supreme Court of Israel ruled in a case brought by a number of Messianic Jews with Jewish fathers and grandfathers. Their applications for Aliyah had been rejected on the grounds that they were Messianic Jews. The argument was made by the applicants that they had never been Jews according to halacha, and were not therefore excluded by the conversion clause. This argument was upheld in the ruling.^{[145][147][148]}

Yes, the majority of Jews are offended by Messianics who are Christians, not Jews. This is supported by the fact that the Law of Return, which grants automatic Israeli citizenship to Jews and even the descendents of Jews (at least 1 Jewish grandparent), was modified to specify that Jews who become Messianics are not eligible to apply for citizenship as Jews. 

This being said, in the majority of Jewish communities around the world, when a a person who is born a Jew becomes a Messianic, it is met by sadness and pity by the rest of the community. This is because the individual is seen as having cut themselves off from the Jewish community and having renounced his or his path to HaShem (The Creator). There is always the underlying hope that these individuals will eventually find their way back to Judaism though.

As for Messianic organisations such as "Jews for Judaism", they are unanimously despised by all Jewish communities around the world.

Why are Jews Jews?

In: Judaism [Edit categories]

Religion & Spirituality Category Guidelines

Answer:

  

Jews are an ethno-religious group. Technically, a Jew is anyone either born of a Jewish mom or dad (as the first Jew was Isaac, thus making Jacob and Esau Patrilineal Jews, and their sons Patrilineal Jews; and the sons of Judah and Joseph Patrilineal Jews) or converted of his or her own free will and effort. A person's place of birth, or the level of their practice of Jewish law and tradition, are entirely irrelevant. 

Note: Most Reform communities will accept a child born to a non-Jewish mom and Jewish dad as Jewish if, and only if, the child is raised as a Jew. However, individuals raised in such a manner are not accepted as Jews by Conservative, Orthodox, and Ultra-Orthodox (Haredi) Jews. 


Note: Karaite Jews consider only Patrilineal Jews to be ethnic Jews. Karaite scholar Nehemia Gordon notes: 


Most Karaites believe in patrilineal descent, meaning that if your father is Jewish than you are Jewish. This is based primarily on the fact that all descent in the Bible goes according to the male line. Some Karaites believe that both parents must be Jewish. However, anyone who 1) is circumcised [males only], 2) accepts the God of Israel [YHWH] as their own God, and 3) accepts the People of Israel as their own people is a full-fledged Jew [Israelite], see Exodus 12,43-49 and Ruth 1,16.

Who or what are Anti- or Counter-Missionaries?

In: The Bible, Tanakh and Talmud, Jesus Christ [Edit categories]

Religion & Spirituality Category Guidelines

Answer:

  

Anti- or Counter-Missionaries are staunchly-Non-Messianic and ardently-intolerant Jews who believe that any Jew who believes in the New Testament (called the Brit Hadashah by Messianic Jews) has become a gentile or was never Jewish enough to be Jewish in the first place. Anti- or Counter-Missionaries zealously believe Christianity (including Messianic Judaism) to be kofer (apostate), and will even lie about Messianic Jews and Messianic Jewish organizations to push the Anti-Missionary cause and proselytize Judaism. 
Anti- and Counter-Missionary lies include but are not limited to:

1. Jews for Jesus is a spinoff of the Southern Baptist Convention (whereas in reality, Jews for Jesus is a fully-independent, 501(c)3 Messianic Jewish organization founded by Martin "Moishe" Rosen, who happened to denominationally be a Southern Baptist at least at one point in his life. Moishe Rosen was also raised an Orthodox Jew in Denver, Colorado).
2. Congregation Yeshuat Yisrael in Franklin, Tennessee is a spinoff of the same (whereas it is actually also independent and just Messianic Jewish by denomination).
3. Messianic Jews are like Hitler, trying to wipe out the Jewish population.
4. Messianic Jews are like the Crusaders, Pogromists, and Inquisitors.
5. Once a Jew believes in the historical and Biblical Jesus of Nazareth, he or she is no longer a Jew.
6. Most "Messianic Jews" are or were never even Jews (which takes and twists the fact that some number of self-identifying "Messianic Jews" are indeed gentiles who falsely-- whether unintentionally or maliciously-- label themselves as Messianic Jews once they become denominationally Messianically Jewish or part of the spinoff "Hebrew Roots" movement).

Anti- and Counter-Missionary organizations include Jews for Judaism and JewFAQ. Anti- and Counter-Missionary individuals include Traci Rich (JewFAQ), Skylar Curtis, and answer.com's own Divorah. 

Non-Anti-Missionary and tolerant Non-Messianic Jews include Michael Medved and Dennis Prager.

Approximately how many Messianic Jews are there in the world?

In: Judaism, Statistical Information and Demographics [Edit categories]

Religion & Spirituality Category Guidelines

Answer:

  

There is no exact or fair approximate count of how many Messianic Jews there are for several reasons. Among them: Many Messianic Jews do not know that they are Jewish and have Jewish heritage.Many Messianic Jews are not openly Jewish or openly Messianic Jewish.Many Messianic Jews are Patrilineally Jewish and otherwise"not Jewish enough" for the (for a lack of a better term) typical (Non-Messianic) Jewish person (even though Isaac was the first Jew, and Jacob and Esau were Patrilineal Jews; the sons of Jacob were one-fourth Patrilineally Jewish, and at least three of Jacob's sons had one-eighth Jewish, Patrilineally-Jewish children). 


Anti- and Counter-Missionary types of people do not consider Messianic Jews to be Jews. However, tolerant Non-Messianic Jews do consider Messianic Jews (even though they are in staunch disagreement with Messianic Jews) to be Jewish.

What is judaism like today?

In: Judaism [Edit categories]

Religion & Spirituality Category Guidelines

Answer:

  

For the most part, with few exceptions, Judaism is driven by one factor: anything but Jesus (Yeshua). Judaism increasingly has tended to be very Anti-Christian (Anti-Messianic, "Anti-Missionary") in nature. Otherwise, Judaism continues to be divided into divisions such as: 

1. Haredi-- Following Torah and the Talmudim (Bavli and Yerushalaymi) zealously, even to the point of seclusion from the rest of society.
2. Orthodox (including Modern Orthodox)-- Following Torah and the Talmudim (Bavli and Yerushalaymi) observantly to very zealously, but with little or no seclusion from the rest of society.
3. Conservative (Masorti)-- Following Torah and the Talmudim (Bavli and Yerushalaymi) in a traditionalist but not zealous sense. Conservative Jews do not believe in the inerrancy or infallibility of Torah and the Talmudim.
4. Reform (Liberal, Progressive)-- Following Torah and the Talmudim (Bavli and Yerushalaymi) as far as individual sanctity is concerned-- that is, following whatever they feel brings them closer to G-d. Reform Jews do not believe in the inerrancy or infallibility of Torah and the Talmudim.
5. Reconstructionist-- Founded by Mordechai Kaplan (a kohein) in 1920. Reconstructionist Jews are even more lax than Reform Jews in their belief in the inerrancy and infallibility of Torah and the Talmudim.
6. Humanistic Judaism-- Self explanatory and more liberal than Reconstructionist Judaism regarding belief in the inerrancy or infallibility of Torah and the Talmudim.
7. Karaite-- Following only Torah and believing in the inerrancy or infallibility of Torah and the rest of Tanakh.

In terms of Anti-Missionary activity, for example: 

1. Haredi-- Yad L'Achim
2. Orthodox (including Modern Orthodox)-- JewFAQ and Jews For Judaism.
3. Conservative (Masorti)-- From the USCJ website, one could read an article where Messianic Jews were compared to Hitler in trying to wipe out the Jewish people.
4. Reform (Liberal, Progressive)-- The CCAR and their resolutions.
5. Reconstructionist-- No examples at this time.
6. Humanistic Judaism-- Da'at Emet, which is more against religious Judaism and religion than it is specifically Anti-Missionary.
7. Karaite-- No examples at this time.

Are traditional Jews offended by messianic Jews?

In: Judaism, Tanakh and Talmud [Edit categories]

Religion & Spirituality Category Guidelines

Answer:

  

"Yes, the majority of Jews are offended by Messianics who are Christians, not Jews"-- so says Divorah. 
In truth, however, not all traditional Jews are offended by Messianic Jews (who are Jews who believe in the historical and New Testament Jesus as the Jewish Messiah). There are some traditional (Non-Messianic) Jews who may be or are in staunch disagreement with Messianic Jews and may or do even take offense to Messianic Judaism, but who are not offended by Messianic Jews. On the other hand, many traditional and non-traditional (including Reform) Non-Messianic Jews do take offense at Messianic Jews (the offense often being unprovoked and mainly because of the Messianic Jew's beliefs). 


Two examples of tolerant Non-Messianic Jews are Michael Medved and Denis Prager.

Should Jews marry Jews?

In: Marriage, Judaism, Tanakh and Talmud [Edit categories]

Answer:

  

That a Jew would marry a fellow Jew would make the marriage between the two partners work. Jews are even supposed to marry cousins per Numbers (B'midbar) 36: 
" 5 And Moses commanded the children of Israel according to the word of the LORD, saying: 'The tribe of the sons of Joseph speaketh right. 6 This is the thing which the LORD hath commanded concerning the daughters of Zelophehad, saying: Let them be married to whom they think best; only into the family of the tribe of their father shall they be married. 7 So shall no inheritance of the children of Israel remove from tribe to tribe; for the children of Israel shall cleave every one to the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers. 8 And every daughter, that possesseth an inheritance in any tribe of the children of Israel, shall be wife unto one of the family of the tribe of her father, that the children of Israel may possess every man the inheritance of his fathers. 9 So shall no inheritance remove from one tribe to another tribe; for the tribes of the children of Israel shall cleave each one to its own inheritance.' 10 Even as the LORD commanded Moses, so did the daughters of Zelophehad.11 For Mahlah, Tirzah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Noah, the daughters of Zelophehad, were married unto their father's brothers' sons. 12 They were married into the families of the sons of Manasseh the son of Joseph, and their inheritance remained in the tribe of the family of their father. 13 These are the commandments and the ordinances, which the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses unto the children of Israel in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho. {P}"

Why don't Reform Jews keep kosher?

In: Judaism, Tanakh and Talmud [Edit categories]

Religion & Spirituality Category Guidelines

Answer:

  

According to the Union of Reform Judaism, " Reform Judaism affirms my right, our right, to make those kinds of choices." That is, choices relating to Torah and Talmud. Thus, " Each aspect worked for some Jews, once upon a time, somewhere in our history. Each, therefore, has the potential to open up holiness for people in our time as well, and for me personally. However, each does not have equal claim on us, on me. Some (the agricultural laws, for instance) are no longer possible to observe. Others (the sacrificial laws, for instance) come from a social context so foreign to our own that it would be impossible to conceive modern people finding holiness in their revival." Therefore, some Reform Jews do not keep kosher due to that they are not "finding holiness in their revival" in doing so.

What might reform Jews do that orthodox Jews don't?

In: Judaism [Edit categories]

Religion & Spirituality Category Guidelines

Answer:

  

According to FAQs.org, "Reform differs from the other major movements in that it views both the Oral and Written laws as a product of human hands (specifically, it views the Torah as Divinely inspired, but written in the language of the time in which it was given). The laws reflect their times, but contain many timeless truths. The Reform movement stresses retention of the key principles of Judaism (as it sees them; for details, consult the [5]Reform Reading List). As for practice, it strongly recommends individual study of the traditional practices; however, the adherent is free to follow only those practices that increase the sanctity of their relationship to G-d. Reform also stresses equality between the sexes." 
Thus, Reform Jews may be more lax in following Torah and Talmud-based halakhah whereas Orthodox Jews would not be as, if at all, lax in any way, shape, or form in following Torah and Talmud.

How many Messianic Jews are there in Israel?

Answer:

  

There are approximately 8,000 Messianic Jews known to be living throughout Israel. However, a true count is almost impossible for several reasons, INCLUDING THAT: 

1. Many Messianic Jews are unrightly considered to be Non-Messianic Jews by the Israeli government. 
2. Many Patrilineal and even Matrilineal Jews are already not considered Jewish enough to be counted as Jews. Couple that and their Messianic Jewishness, and they are left all the more uncounted as Jewish.
