US Government, Talmud Mock New Testament By Rev. Ted Pike 4-17-8 The U.S. State Dept.'s Office of Global Anti-Semitism now says the New Testament is a book of conspiracy theory! Yes, our government now rules that the Biblical record that Jews had Christ crucified is not only anti-Semitic; it's conspiracy junk. This step toward criminalization of Christian beliefs directly threatens believers. It is also an act of blatant hypocrisy: While the New Testament is derided as "hate speech," not a word is said about the seething hatred contained in Judaism's most sacred book, the Talmud. The State Department reports, "The tactics of many anti-Semitic groups include the propagation of conspiracy theories Traditional conspiracy theories" include the belief "that the Jews are responsible for the death of Christ." 1 For tens of millions, the New Testament is anything but conspiracy theory! It's the written Word of God. But now our State Department says the New Testament account of Christ's passion, culminating in rejection by the Jewish people and crucifixion by the Romans, is akin to the other conspiracy theories that inspired Hitler to attempt to destroy Jews. My previous article, "Bible is Hate, Says U.S. Government," documents the State Department's other charge: that the New Testament espouses "classic anti-Semitism." 2 Hitler is rightly considered a classic anti-Semite. But the State Department, in also labelling the New Testament "classic anti-Semitism," suggests it is morally and intellectually similar to Nazism. This implies the New Testament could lead to yet another Holocaust! This premise, legislated into "anti-hate" laws, will justify persecution of Bible-believers as "anti-Semites." After all, it will be reasoned, people with hateful ideologies, leading to violence against Jews should be restricted, even imprisoned. Talmud Tells Us Who Killed Christ Abraham H. Foxman, head of the Jewish Anti-Defamation League, couldn't agree more with the State Department. His organization is the prime mover behind hate laws worldwide and the Office of Global Anti-Semitism. Foxman asserts that Jews of Jesus' time were innocent of the crucifixion; it was entirely the work of Romans. Foxman says New Testament writers concocted the vicious anti-Semitic lie that Jewish leaders and people goaded Pilate to condemn Christ. He says this falsehood - that Jews are "Christ killers"-fanned into flame nearly two millennia of anti-Semitism and led to the Holocaust. He also says it creates "new anti-Semitism" which he warns is rapidly escalating worldwide. 3 ADL's "anti-hate" laws have already been used in dozens of western nations to infringe on the freedom of Christians. Foxman, as an Orthodox Jew, knows plenty about another book whose vitriol is far darker than that of the Bible. The highest religious and ethical authority of modern Judaism, the Babylonian Talmud, states that Jewish leaders did have Christ condemned to death. In fact, the Talmud says they did it entirely without the Romans' help! Jewish authorities killed Christ not by crucifixion (illegal in Jewish law) but by the legal methods prescribed by Talmudic law. The Talmud says: On Passover Eve, they hanged Jesus of Nazareth. And the herald went before him forty days, and proclaimed 'Jesus of Nazareth is going out to be stoned because he practiced sorcery, incited and led Israel astray. Whoever knows of an argument that may be proposed in his favor should come present that argument on his behalf.' But the judges did not find an argument in his favor, and so they hanged him on Passover Eve. 4 The Talmud describes torture inflicted on Jesus before His death. "All four legal methods of execution stoning, burning, decapitation and strangling were employed". 5 The Talmud elaborates on "burning." It involved Jesus being: "lowered in dung up to his armpits, then a hard cloth was placed within a soft one, wound around his neck and the two ends pulled in opposite directions until he was dead, forcing him to open his mouth. A wick was then lit, and thrown into his mouth, so that it descended into his body, burning his bowels." 6 Jesus, says the Talmud, was excommunicated for the thought of seducing a woman. In His ensuing grief and confusion, He fell down and worshipped a brick. 7 The Talmud says Jesus "was a fool and we do not pay attention to what fools do." 8 According to the Talmud, Jesus is now in hell, writhing in eternal agony. The Talmud asks: "'What is your punishment?' He replied, 'With boiling hot semen'" 9 The Talmud defends the Jewish rulers who it says righteously executed four of Christ's disciples: Matthew, Luke, Nicodemus, and Thaddaeus. 10 It considers His followers to be worshippers of a false prophet and worthy of death. References in the Talmud to Christ and Christians are often veiled by terms not understood by Christian censors in previous centuries. Two of the most common are "Minim" and "Minith." The footnote to the Talmud in Abodah Zarah 16b (pg. 84) says that "Minith" refers to "heresy with special reference to Christianity." Brotherly love did not extend to the Minim: Christians may be legally thrown into a pit to die. As Abodah Zarah 26b says: "'idolaters and [Jewish] Shepherds of small cattle need not be brought up, though they must not be cast in, but Minim, informers, and apostates may be cast in and need not be brought up.'" In Shabbethai 116, Rabbi Tarbon says, "The writings of the Minim [New Testament] deserve to be burned, even though the holy name of God occurs therein, for paganism is less dangerous than Minith [Christianity]" According to the Talmud "Those who deny the Torah and the prophets of Israel [giving loyalty to the "false prophet" Jesus and the New Testament], the law is that they should be killed and those who have the power of life and death should have them killed. And if this cannot be done, they should be led to their death by deceptive methods. 11 Christians: Keep Out! Concerning Gentile Christians who presume to make use of the Jewish Sabbath, The Jewish Encyclopedia tells us, "Resh Lakishsaid, 'A Gentile observing the Sabbath deserves death' (Sanh. 58b)." This article says, "The Sabbath is a sign between God and Israel alone" and the Talmud's death sentence "was probably directed against the Christian Jews" 12 Sanh. 59a says, "A heathen who studies the Torah [Old Testament] deserves death, for it is written, Moses commanded us a law for an inheritance; it is our inheritance not theirs." Christianity is vividly described in the Talmud as worse than even the most wicked behavior of a Jew. A.Z. 17a says: "Rabbi Eleazar B. Dordia did not leave out any harlot in the world without coming to her" yet attained forgiveness because he had not committed the unforgivable sin of accepting Christianity. Likewise, incest is a "light sin" compared to faith in Jesus. The Talmud tells us "Minuth," along with the Roman government, are the two daughters of hell. One seduces Jews to idolatry; the other keeps them politically bound. Does the Talmud teach the same "tolerance" and "respect for diversity" which Foxman demands from Christians toward Jews, homosexuals, abortionists, and pornographers? Listen to how the Talmud instructs Jews to respond to the death of a Jew who has become a Christian: At the death of one who had severed all ties with his people no rites whatever should be observed. His brothers and relatives should dress in white and cloak themselves in white. They should eat, drink and be merry, for an enemy of God has perished. As it is written, 'Do not I hate them, O Lord, that hate Thee? And do not I strive with those that rise up against Thee? I hate them with utmost hatred; I count them my enemies.' (Psalms 139:21-4)" 13 Is this "hate?" Absolutely! It's hard to imagine greater hate than the Talmud teaches against Christ and Christians. Jewish "civil liberties" groups such as ADL, ACLU, Southern Poverty Law Center, and People for the American Way set themselves up as lawgivers to the world. They propose to end "hate, intolerance, prejudice, and bias." Yet, the greatest religious and ethical authority for modern observant Judaism, the Talmud (which far exceeds the authority of the Old Testament for religious Jews) 14, cannot be surpassed in its hate, intolerance, prejudice, and bias against Christians. Chief among Jewish ethical pontificators is Abe Foxman, a devout Orthodox, Talmud-quoting Jew, who says he earnestly awaits the coming of Israel's "messiah." This, of course, is not Jesus but Antichrist. 15 "Christophobia" With this in mind we can understand why Jewish activist groups exhibit such a loathing of Jesus and His name in public schools, government and the military and why they tirelessly labor to remove all symbols having to do with Him, especially at Christmas and Easter. Jewish activists accuse evangelicals of "homophobia," preaching hate against homosexuals. Actually, out of love, Christians warn sodomites that, unless they repent, their sexual perversion will land them in hell forever. In contrast, Jewish activists are consummate "Christophobes," opposing Christ and His followers -- not out of love but from a morbid obsession to remove all memory of what their forefathers did, screaming, "Crucify Him! Crucify Him! His blood be upon us and our children!" Like Lady Macbeth, who washed her murderous hands incessantly, muttering, "Out, out, damned spot!" the descendants of those who had Christ killed attempt to wash away their guilt with lies. There's only One, however, who can wash away anyone's sins. Scripture repeatedly promises He will come again and "they shall look upon Me whom they have pierced and they shall mourn" 16 He who makes the vilest sinners clean will put "a heart of flesh" in Israel, wherein now resides "a heart of stone" against Him. At last God will remove the obsession to defame Him out of Israel. The saga of Christ's dealings with the Jews is thus one of radical extremes: vitriolic hate, as Talmudic Jewry strives to prevent His appearance, and astonishing love, as Christ eventually proves His power to save a whole nation of repentant Jews. Someday all the earth will gasp in amazement saying, "Who is a God like unto Thee, that pardoneth iniquity and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of His heritage?" 17 Endnotes: 1.

I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around the banks will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs. Thomas Jefferson, Letter to the Secretary of the Treasury Albert Gallatin (1802)

] is more "compassionate" than the current means of execution used in the US today, the purpose of which is to ease us into the proscribing of decapitation as the only legal mode of execution. Note how the Pharisees, as Jesus said of them, bind burdens (laws) grievious to be borne but do not lift one with their little finger. A couple of notable points, according to their very own Talmud, the execution of Jesus by the Jews was illegal, because there were not two witnesses to any supposed guilt. Furthermore, where the Talmud claims to strive to cause little pain to the condemned in other places, in the words above, it gloats for torturing Jesus by using all methods of execution, and for causing him to be supposedly "writing in agony" to this day. ] Bryan v. Moore Supreme Court of the United States ARGUMENT Introduction Capital punishment is a penalty prescribed by Biblical law for the commission of offenses that violate ritual prohibitions (such as deliberate desecration of the Sabbath) as well as laws regarding interpersonal relationships (murder, kidnapping, incest). The Biblical text explicitly specifies two forms of execution: stoning (Exodus 17:4, 8:22; Numbers 14:10) and burning (Leviticus 20:14, 21:9). The oral tradition includes two additional means -- strangulation and decapitation..... B. "Burning" Was Intended To Be a Quick and Relatively Painless Non-disfiguring Form of Execution. The Mishna in Sanhedrin (52a) also described the procedure for "burning" and stated clearly that it did not involve actual resort to fire or flames. Rather, an extremely hot object (or wick) was inserted into the mouth of the condemned individual so as to cause instantaneous death. Here, too, the objective was to cause death quickly and without mutilation of the body. Indeed, the Mishna concludes with a very revealing passage that condemns any court that would put an accused to death with actual flames (id.; emphasis added): Rabbi Elazar the son of Rabbi Tzadok said "An incident once occurred with the daughter of a priest who committed adultery and they surrounded her with bundles of branches and burned her." The other rabbis responded to him, "That was done because the court that performed this execution was not knowledgeable." The concluding comment of the Mishna indicates that regardless of the common understanding of "burning," the rabbis believed that a court that would actually set a person on fire was a court acting in error. The Talmud, in fact, explains that the incident reported in the Mishna was the work of a court of Sadducees (i.e., those who mistakenly applied the Biblical text without taking account of the oral tradition and rabbinic interpretation). This passage demonstrates once again the rabbis’ primary concern that the method of execution not cause unnecessary pain or disfigurement of the body...... In an important prisoners’-rights case, however, Deputy President of the Supreme Court Menachem Elon wrote an opinion in which he said (State of Israel v. Tamir, 37(iii) P.D. 201 (1983)): Jewish Law was particularly insistent on the preservation of even a criminal’s rights and dignity during the course of punishment. Maimonides, after dealing with the types of punishment a court may impose, including imprisonment, concludes: "All these matters apply to the extent that the judge deems appropriate and necessary for the needs of the time. In all matters, he shall act for the sake of Heaven and not regard human dignity lightly . . . . He must be careful not to destroy their dignity." According to Jewish law, a death sentence must be carried out with the minimum of suffering and without offense to human dignity. This is based on the Biblical verse, "Love your fellow as yourself," and the rule is, "Choose for him a humane death." From this we declare that even a condemned felon is your "fellow."8 Contemporary Jewish Law coincides with the Jewish Law doctrines that governed two millennia ago. It is not permissible to execute a condemned man or woman by means that cause unnecessary pain, delay or disfigurement. Even in the rare case when the State has determined that the accused must be put to death because he or she committed a heinous offense, the condemned is legally entitled to consideration and dignity. Unless, of course, your name is Jesus Christ, God of all Creation. And those who are called by His name will be treated the same. This little statement from the "friendly" brief ties it all together: "II MODERN APPLICATION OF JEWISH LAW IMPLEMENTS THE SAME PRINCIPLES OF HUMANITY AND CONSIDERATION The State of Israel has abolished capital punishment for all offenses other than genocide, war crimes, crimes against humanity, crimes against the Jewish people, and treason in wartime....." So anyone who insists on promoting the Word of God as put forth in the New Testament, would be, according to the USrael Department of State, be committing "crimes against the Jewish people", and likewise, anyone speaking against the NeoCon's war [Matthew 5:9 Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the children of God] would be guilty of treason....and off with their head. You can read the rest of their arguments for their macabre way of thinking Here: http://www.jlaw.com/Briefs/capital2.html =============== The Talmud says: On Passover Eve, they hanged Jesus of Nazareth...... I for one will be watching and praying to see what happens THIS passover [Vengeance is mine, saith the LORD.....1Cr 3:17 If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which [temple] ye are.].... Passover Confusion 2008 "...The month of Nisan starts the year and has 29 days in it. It starts on a new moon as the first day of the month. The full moon always occurs half way in this 29 day cycle. That means the moon will be full on the 14th day of Nisan. We do not know the exact time because the exact time of the new moon will determine the exact time of the full moon. This we do know, that the moon must be full prior to the evening of the Passover. The 14th must occur before the Passover is held. Passover facts: The Passover lamb is killed about 3pm in the afternoon. It is then cleansed and prepared for roasting. A fire is started and the lamb is roasted slowly so the meat is cooked throughout. If the lamb is roasted to fast the outside will be cooked but the inside and around the bones will still be raw meat. It takes about 3 hours for a lamb to be roasted correctly. As it is being roasted the other elements of the Passover are gathered or prepared. The unleavened bread is baked which takes very little time about a hour. The bitter herbs are collected and the Passover wine is placed on the table (more on wine below). All of this takes place on the afternoon of the 14th of Nisan. Remember, the day the lamb is killed IS NOT THE PASSOVER! Remember in Egypt the lamb was killed on the 14th, but the PASSOVER DID NOT OCCUR UNTIL 9 HOURS LATER AT MIDNIGHT. So, when is the true Passover? Is it the day the lamb is killed or the day the blood is applied and the Passover took place? This sets forth the answer to a riddle that exposes the novices trying to invent their own day for Passover and they know nothing about the true Passover at all. Passover takes place at midnight on a new Jewish day that began at sundown. If the lamb is killed on the afternoon of the 14th, sundown begins the 15th. The 15th is the true day of observing the Lord's Passover and this is the day Jesus was crucified. Jesus was not crucified at the same time the Passover lamb was killed. We know this to be a fact because Jesus and his disciples observed the true Passover according to the Law. If Jesus did not observe the true Passover according to the Law then he sinned. A person who did not observe the Passover on the correct evening was to be cut off from Israel (Numbers 9:13). Jesus was forced to observe the Passover correctly on the right evening or be cut off. This is serious and we do not doubt Jesus held the Passover correctly. I make this a strong issue because many novices are setting churches to observe Passover on the evening of the 14th of Nisan thinking that the Jews anciently did this. This is false! I cannot stress how false this is. If the Passover took place at midnight of the 14th, this would mean the lamb was killed on the 13th day of the month and this defies every thing we know about the ordinance for Passover. The lamb was to be kept up until the 14th and then killed. It was not kept up until the 13th and then killed so they could observe the day of Passover on the 14th. ........ Passover this year 2008 begins sundown April 20th. Jews who celebrate the 14th will start Passover on Saturday night. Again, this means the lamb was killed on the 13th and this is false. Many Jews are holding the Passover and first day of Unleavened Bread on the wrong evening. Passover occurs on Sunday at sundown and the Feast of Unleavened Bread begins that night and ends on April 27th. Jesus was crucified on the 15th of Nisan and he became our Passover Lamb. By his blood through our baptism, we are exempt from all future judgment and wrath of God if we observe his commandment to observe this annual celebration...." http://jesus-messiah.com/html/passover-confusion-2008.html http://www.blueletterbible.org/kjv/Eze/Eze039.html#17 http://www.blueletterbible.org/kjv/Exd/Exd012.html#29 http://www.blueletterbible.org/kjv/Mat/Mat025.html#6 / http://www.blueletterbible.org/tsk_b/Mat/25/6.html Darkness at Full Moon? http://freedom4um.com/cgi-bin/readart.cgi?ArtNum=76308 Genesis 15:13-14/Galatians 3:16-29/The US IS STILL A JUDEO-BRITISH COLONY EXTORTING TAXES FOR 'THE CROWN'. 401 years since they planted the cross and dedicated this country to Jesus Christ on April 29, 1607 [Julian Calendar; April 19th, Gregorian calendar.
