I Know What Anti Messianics and Self-Hating Jews Want--And It's Not Pretty!

Here's an example from "Slippery Sack"--who, if he is even a real Jew himself, surely doesn't act like one, anyway (Having treif pictures on your YouTube channel does not indicate taking your Jewishness seriously, for example.):

  Nicole, You may not be Jewish at all, your family tree seems unconvincing, I am a real Jew, for example my family tree can be traced back to Abraham in an unbroken chain. Nicole it's OK if you are a Goyim. You seem to be trying to hard to be Jewish and quite frankly I'm not convinced.

  Not every Jew--especially many bnei-Anusim--have the luxury that you have. In fact, out of all people, Tracey R. Rich states that "So we see that Jewish genealogy is not as impossible as we might think. But it's not easy either. You are not likely to simply log onto Ancestry (or even JewishGen) and find a comprehensive tree listing your family back 300 years, as some gentiles do." She'd love for bnei-Anusim and Messianics like me to not identify as Jews.

  Also, see "Claim: All Jewish genealogical records lost in 70CE". And we know that after the Galut b'Bavel ended, some could not trace their genealogy. "These sought their register, that is, the genealogy, but it was not found; therefore were they deemed polluted and put from the priesthood. 63 And the Tirshatha said unto them, that they should not eat of the most holy things, till there stood up a priest with Urim and with Thummim." (Ezra 2:62-63, cf. Nehemiah 7:64-65).

  Also, not every genealogy of everyone is listed in Tanakh or Brit Chadashah. Therefore, your logic would assume that they didn't even exist, let alone be Jewish if they were Jews. Besides, many Messianic Jews took "But avoid foolish disputes, genealogies..." (Titus 3:9) out of context. After all, Yeshua had His genealogy recorded. Paul noted being a Binyamini. The context is in line with "For when one says, “I am of Paul,” and another, “I am of Apollos,” are you not carnal?" (1 Corinthians 3:4)

  As John Gill commented, "and genealogies; of their elders, Rabbins, and doctors, by whom their traditions are handed down from one to another, in fixing which they greatly laboured; see ( 1 Timothy 1:4 )". Do we not see that now? e.g., "I am of Calvin--that is, a Calvinist." "I am a Lutheran." But what does Scripture say? "Be... of one mind...." (See 2 Corinthians 13:11) G-d doesn't contradict or change. Messianics, too, will have to consult our genealogies when the Beit HaMikdash is rebuilt.

I even emphasized what Anti Messianics and Self-Hating Jews want, in case you did not feel like reading carefully and thinking for yourself. 

Why Does Jewishness Matter?

If we Jews don't embrace our Jewish heritage and bless Israel, why should gentiles? If Israel doesn't help Israel, why should the nations? Besides, you know when we really give Hitler, Stalin, and other Anti Semites posthumous victories? When we:

1. Don't care about our Jewishness.
2. Deny our Jewishness.
3. Refuse to stick together as klal-Yisra'el and help each other as ha'am v'hamispacha-Yisra'el.

The Anti Semites want us to drop our Jewishness or otherwise not care about it. Also, what does G-d say about denying or otherwise not caring about our Jewishness? Hint: it's not pretty. For example:

1. "At that time, saith the LORD, they shall bring out the bones of the kings of Judah, and the bones of his princes, and the bones of the priests, and the bones of the prophets, and the bones of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, out of their graves; and they shall spread them before the sun, and the moon, and all the host of heaven, whom they have loved, and whom they have served, and after whom they have walked, and whom they have sought, and whom they have worshipped; they shall not be gathered, nor be buried, they shall be for dung upon the face of the earth. And death shall be chosen rather than life by all the residue that remain of this evil family, that remain in all the places whither I have driven them, saith the LORD of hosts. {S} Moreover thou shalt say unto them: Thus saith the LORD: do men fall, and not rise up again? Doth one turn away, and not return? Why then is this people of Jerusalem slidden back by a perpetual backsliding? They hold fast deceit, they refuse to return. I attended and listened, but they spoke not aright; no man repenteth him of his wickedness, saying: 'What have I done?' Every one turneth away in his course, as a horse that rusheth headlong in the battle. "
2. "Then the word of the LORD came unto me, saying: Thus saith the LORD: After this manner will I mar the pride of Judah, and the great pride of Jerusalem, 10 even this evil people, that refuse to hear My words, that walk in the stubbornness of their heart, and are gone after other gods to serve them, and to worship them, that it be as this girdle, which is profitable for nothing. {S}  For as the girdle cleaveth to the loins of a man, so have I caused to cleave unto Me the whole house of Israel and the whole house of Judah, saith the LORD, that they might be unto Me for a people, and for a name, and for a praise, and for a glory; but they would not hearken."

Therefore, excuses such as "I'm not Jewish; I'm Catholic! and "I don't care if we're Jewish--or if we were" don't hold validity--especially when evidence after evidence shows that one is Jewish, and especially when records on Mormon websites have been reindexed as Jewish. Besides, given that people have complained about how the Mormon Church often tried to change Jewish records into gentile records, records of people do not appear in Jewish collections for no reason--even if the records appear as gentile as a gentile's record could get. I even remember one specific complaint about how the Mormons tried to change Jewish "Steins" and other Jews into Germans and Russians (If only I could find that complaint!).

Besides, what did Yeshua say to gentiles through Paul? "You will say then, “Branches were broken off that I might be grafted in.” Well said. Because of unbelief they were broken off, and you stand by faith. Do not be haughty, but fear. For if God did not spare the natural branches, He may not spare you either. Therefore consider the goodness and severity of God: on those who fell, severity; but toward you, goodness, if you continue in Hisgoodness. Otherwise you also will be cut off. And they also, if they do not continue in unbelief, will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again. For if you were cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and were grafted contrary to nature into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these, who are natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?"

By the way, that I'm a bat-Anusim whose families (e.g., many of the Foczkos/Fockos/Foskos) deny that we're Jewish drives much of my commentary work--I want to comment on my own situation to help other bnei- v'banot-Anusim who are in the same position that I am (that is, having found out that they are Jewish and having their own Jewish family persecute them for acknowledging what they found out and embracing their heritage) and who are in the position that I was in (that is, being lied to about who they are and otherwise not knowing that they are Jewish). 

Besides, as a website regarding Canavan's disease opined, "Jewish family heritage, not religious practice, is the risk factor for inherited genetic disease. It is quite possible that an individual who does not identify as Jewish in a religious sense is Jewish in terms of genetic heritage. What's important is the geographic and religious identification of parents and grandparents, not synagogue membership."

For Anusim v'bnei-Anusim, though, we don't have the luxury of our parents and grandparents identifying as Jewish. Sometimes, we have to go as far as back as great-great-grandparents or even further back. Besides, G-d did say, "And they shall bring all your brethren out of all the nations for an offering unto the LORD, upon horses, and in chariots, and in litters, and upon mules, and upon swift beasts, to My holy mountain Jerusalem, saith the LORD, as the children of Israel bring their offering in a clean vessel into the house of the LORD. And of them also will I take for the priests and for the Levites, saith the LORD." 

Sometimes, that's all that we have--at least this kid who heard "Charnetski" and typed in "JewsForJesus.com" (or something like that) for (what I thought was) a joke did--and again, that I'm a bat-Anusim whose families (e.g., many of the Foczkos/Fockos/Foskos) deny that we're Jewish drives much of my commentary work--I want to comment on my own situation to help other bnei- v'banot-Anusim who are in the same position that I am (that is, having found out that they are Jewish and having their own Jewish family persecute them for acknowledging what they found out and embracing their heritage) and who are in the position that I was in (that is, being lied to about who they are and otherwise not knowing that they are Jewish). 

In conclusion, Jewishness matters--for G-d, family, and tikun-ha'olam--and one does not have the "luxury" to futz around when he or she finds out that he or she is part of ha'am v'hamishpacha-Yisra'el. Besides, the consequences of futzing around are not pretty. 

"I'm Not Jewish. I'm Catholic!"

You're still Jewish, Greg Gutfeld. What was wrong with Bill O'Reilly wishing you a Happy Hanukkah? If only more Jews like you were wished such. Even Chabad.org (much to their chagrin, I suppose) states, "If Judaism is a religion, then someone who doesn’t believe in the religion should be no longer Jewish. The reality, however, is that it doesn’t work that way." Also, "According to Torah law, a person's Jewishness is not a matter of life-style or self-perception: one may be totally unaware of one's Jewishness and still be a Jew, or one may consider himself Jewish and observe all the precepts of the Torah and still not be a Jew."--and Ruth was a giyoret tzedekah. The Nazis used this against us, and that's when we should have united--Pharisee, Karaite, JuBu, HindJu, Messianic, Sabbatean, and otherwise--and said, "So, we are a 'race'; we are an ethnos, and it is thus as you say--and that gives you no right to commit ethnocide against us. In fact, it holds you more accountable to Yehovah if you even try to touch us. For, ' Behold, they may gather together, but not by Me; whosoever shall gather together against thee shall fall because of thee.'" 

. Until you come home, you're not helping us. Coming home doesn't mean that you have to give up being Roman Vaticanist ("Catholic", "Universalist")--there are Evangelical Jewish Catholics (who really are part of the "Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church", and who are Zionists instead of taking their cues from the Vatican). You can even be Agnostic as you stated that you are at present--nobody's here to proselytize you to Yeshua (and, sadly, you won't most of us even believing in Yeshua, anyway).

You too, Kevin--Israelites, Jews, etc. stick together.

There Are No Coincidences In Life...

The Foczkos of Poland, Etc. and our Foczkos/Fockos have to be related (Yes, Kevin; as much as I love you as my cousin, you're being hard on me--and yourself. We can't control what our relatives did, but we're still Jews and have the right to embrace that identity--and the mitzvah to never forget.). Besides, the following cannot be coincidental:

• "Foczko" and "Focko" (without the accent, "Fots[h]ko") was preserved across the board in Poland and Hungary--and even the same spelling in both. Our "Focko" never had the accent, by the way, and it became "Fosko".
• There's no proof that we came from Germany. Yes, we got hits in Germany; but R1a1a1 is not a Native German marker. It is a Slavic or an Ashkenazi Levite marker. 
• As far as the Denmark hits, I1 originates in Denmark. Our Denmark hits may actually be Finnish hits, and are... 

Adam Focko Russia, Lutheran Church Book Duplicates, 1833-1885	birth: 1829 Hä-Sakoska death: 7 March 1849 Gross-Kolpana, Spanko, Tsarskoe Selo, St. Petersburg

• We were spread across Eastern Europe (including Russia, as seen above). Besides, getting between Finland and Russia was going to be easier for anyone--let alone Jews--in those days, especially if we were caught sneaking to and from the Pale--and how the Uszinskys got out to Saros from Russia, by the way, I do not know (Great-Granddad Gajdos never said--he only bragged that we were Russian during the Cold War, to the chagrin of our family.). By the way, Jews were converting to converting to Vaticanism (Roman and Byzantine), Anglicanism (e.g., the Disraeli Family), and Lutheranism (e.g., the Mendelssohns, the Siedenburg Muellers [Mom-Mom's great-great-grandma's family]) at the time to assimilate and escape Anti Semitism--and Vaticanism and Lutheranism especially posed a threat to the Jews at the time, and Lutheranism (given how Anti Semitic Martin Luther was) was an acceptable alternative to Vaticanism (This is also, by the way, why Martin Luther was not a true Reformer. The Reformation actually began with Jan Hus and John Wycliffe, neither of whom have a record of Anti Semitism.).
• We're not a huge family. Foczko, Focko (excluding German Fockos, who aren't ours--since they were Protestant from the beginning, anyway; and we were Pharisees and Vaticanists), and Fosko (excluding the Foskos of Kentucky, etc.--or at least I hope, since I'm not happy if "Foczko" or "Focko" was first changed to "Fusco") are not common. Besides, what does the Biblical prophecy say? "And the Lord will scatter you among the peoples, and you will be left few in number among the nations where the Lord will drive you." For the Jewish people to even be formed as a nation that was ready to take Israel, there had to be 600,000 countable people--and children were not counted until they turned 20 years old (By the way, see my note on the age of accountability below.). My point is that since the Jewish people could not take Israel until we numbered at least 600,000 (a tenth of counted and known Jewish victims of the Shoah), we are certainly smaller and indeed left few in number--as Non-Messianic Jews, Anusim v'b'nei-Anusim, and Messianic Jews (I will, by the way, discuss "fewer in number" in a later blog post.).
• The Anusi Foczkos/Fockos married into few families, and especially repeatedly into families like the Hanzok and Filc(z)ak families. Also, Andy Rusnak (the grandson of converts Gyorgy "Gyorgy Kvetkovits" and Elizabetha Molnarova Rusznak) deliberately wrote to the granddaughter of a Lazar. Anusim stuck together, and our family followed the mitzvah to marry cousins as outlined in B'midbar 36.

Did I cover enough? I think so. Anyway, let's embrace our Levite heritage--and certainly not forget Dawid, Hersz, and Mariem:

Endnote: By the way, Yeshua changed this when he sat in the Temple at 12 years old, thus validating the age of bar-mitzvah and bat-mitzvah accountability to be 12 at minimum and 20 at maximum for normally-abled people--e.g., I assure you that my cousin Jamie, who is differently mentally abled, will not be going to Hell. He is 45 at present, but does not have the mental abilities or capabilities of even a three-year-old child--no way on Earth will G-d be as cruel as to require of Jamie more than what he has.

Also, the Vatican took pains to try to replace the Vatican as the Holy Hill, even though Har-Tzion remains the Holy Hill. Thus, any Jew--Messianic or Non Messianic--and any gentile Christian should be a Zionist.
