It's quite obvious to everyone here that you hate Jews.
Aren't Christians supposed to preach love and peace, not hatred of others?
As I mentioned on a different thread, I find it absolutely hypocritical that those who claim to follow the Jewish Messiah not only hate the Jewish Messiah's religion, but the very people who follow that religion.
All your observations are predicate on falsehoods. Christ wasn't a Jew. He was an Israelite. Jews hate Christ. The religion practiced by today's Jews isn't from the Old Testament. Christ warned us against the Jews.
A) You have no idea what Jesus said because what he may or may not have said certainly wasn't recorded by those who killed him, ie. the Romans.
B) Jesus was a Jew. An Essene Jew, not a Pharisee, but a Jew nonetheless.
You see, Judaism is the religion of the Old Testament (Tanakh). The Protestant Church didn't write the Old Testament, the Hebrews did, and they called their religion Judaism.
Judaism is founded on the Talmud. Ask any Jew, they will tell you the Talmud is their most holy book.
MODERN Zionist Jews and those who are not that bright might say the Talmud is the most Holy Book.
Any TRUE religious Jew would say the TORAH is THE HOLIEST of BOOKS, since it is the word of Moses, who is the prophet who brought the people out of Egypt and received the 10 Commandments. Or, at least that's how the story goes.
Embedded within the Hebrew of the Torah are entire bodies of knowledge using numerical codes, and those codes open the doors to the ORIGINAL TORAH, which was hidden from those who would misuse the knowledge contained therein.
Any TRUE religious Jew would say the TORAH is THE HOLIEST of BOOKS, since it is the word of Moses, who is the prophet who brought the people out of Egypt and received the 10 Commandments.
The Talmud ("instruction, learning", from a root "teach, study") is a central text of mainstream Judaism, in the form of a record of rabbinic discussions pertaining to Jewish law, ethics, philosophy, customs and history.
A Jew who wishes to claim he is religious might simply listen to a rabbi wail about the Talmud. Spiritual Jews know that the Torah is the path to true awareness of God, and Kabbalah is the map for that path.
Remember, the Talmud is just the words of rabbis from 1800 years ago or so, with more being added over time.
The words of rabbis certainly don't carry more weight than the proclaimed words of the Prophets.
The words of rabbis certainly don't carry more weight than the proclaimed words of the Prophets.
Actually, for Talmudic Jews, the Talmud is more important than the Torah. Most of the Israeli settlers are Talmudic Jews.
All Rabbis are schooled in Talmud, so it does carry a lot of weight because the belief is that one cannot understand the Torah without the Talmud teachings.
The Kabbalah has a mixed acceptance within the Jewish Faith. This is because there was a Kabbalist who was deemed to be the long awaited Messiah. However, he was captured by the Sultan and offered his life or conversion to Muslim Islam. He and five of his followers converted and many Jewish folks blamed Kabbalah. Shortly after this the Kabbalah was, once again, only taught to the select few.
Only recently has it come to be "Kabbalah for all" and even that isn't the entire teaching. Many Rabbis aren't happy about this new Kabbalah resurgence.
