“Judaism is a false religion”–really???

SOMEONE RECENTLY POSTED THIS ON MY FACEBOOK WALL: "Judaism is a false religion which is a part of Spiritual Babylon under the authority of Satan, but most TORAH observant believers follow the teachings of Judaism and observe a Sunset Sabbath on the Sixth Day instead of Sunrise on Seventh Day." (In his rant, he kept using the Enoch calendar to “prove” his points.)

Let’s get the lesser points of his rant out of the way first:

• The Bible does NOT support a “sunrise-to-sunrise” day! (See the explanation on our website. )

• How arrogant of someone who proclaims to be a “Torah teacher” to use the UNCANONIZED book of Jubilees, along with the Enoch calendar as “proof” to show that ADONAI’s “day” begins at sunrise. Well, here's our website article, replete with plenty of Scripture passages that reveal the error of the Enoch calendar!

NOW, LET’S GET TO THE HEART OF THE MATTER:

If you hate the Jews, you hate the Apple of YHWH’s EYE! (See Zechariah 2 and Deuteronomy 32:8-11.)

First and foremost – Messiah Yeshua was a JEW and all of his teachings were from a Hebrew (not Greek) viewpoint. His Father, YHWH, never attached the moniker of “Judaism” to His Divine Instructions (Torah); however, His Instructions eventually became known as “Judaism.” To call YHWH’s Divine Instructions “Spiritual Babylon” is blasphemy!

Just for kicks, let’s check out what HE said about HIS people … WHO FOLLOWED His Torah, and whose religion today is called “Judaism”:

Genesis 12: - 3 I will make you into a great nation and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you." (CJB)

Deuteronomy 7:6-8: For you are a people set apart as holy for ADONAI your God. ADONAI your God has chosen you out of all the peoples on the face of the earth to be his own unique treasure. 7 ADONAI didn't set his heart on you or choose you because you numbered more than any other people - on the contrary, you were the fewest of all peoples. 8 Rather, it was because ADONAI loved you, and because he wanted to keep the oath which he had sworn to your ancestors, that ADONAI brought you out with a strong hand and redeemed you from a life of slavery under the hand of Pharoah king of Egypt. (CJB)

If it hadn't been for Elohim's CHOSEN being scattered into the nations (Ezekiel 36:19) who were ultimately referred to as "Jews," YHWH (Yahweh) and His Divine Messiah, Yeshua, would have remained the best-kept secret of tiny, little Israel, and the rest of the world would still be writhing in Paganism!

Note in the passage above that He LOVED them, and even referred to them as His own unique treasure! He loved them so much, He gave them a Land called Israel - His Holy Land! (He certainly wouldn’t have done that if He thought they were “Spiritual Babylon!)

The entire Bible is about HIS Torah obedient people and Israel – and yet, we have people such as that irreverent, opinionated “teacher” mentioned above, who dare to bash and trash YHWH’s Chosen and their belief system … all while proclaiming to be followers of the Torah observant Hebrew Roots faith (which is fractured just as badly as Christianity with its nearly 50,000 different “denominations).

Here are some more passages to show what our amazing Creator did from the very beginning with a people and their faith (which HE taught them through Moshe/Moses!) that is today referred to as Judaism:

Genesis 15: 18 That day ADONAI made a covenant with Avram: "I have given this land to your descendants - from the Vadi of Egypt to the great river, the Euphrates River - 19 the territory of the Keni, the K'nizi, the Kadmoni, 20 the Hitti, the P'rizi, the Refa'im, 21 the Emori, the Kena'ani, the Girgashi and the Y'vusi." (CJB)

Genesis 35:10-12 God said to him, "Your name is Jacob, but you will no longer be called Jacob; your name will be Israel." So he named him Israel. And God said to him, "I am God Almighty; be fruitful and increase in number. A nation and a community of nations will come from you, and kings will come from your body. The land I gave to Abraham and Isaac I also give to you, and I will give this land to your descendants after you." (CJB)

Leviticus 25: 23 "The land is not to be sold in perpetuity, because the land belongs to me -you are only foreigners and temporary residents with me." (CJB)

Deuteronomy 34: 4 "This is the land of which I swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, 'I will give it to your offspring'"… (CJB)

Ezekiel 37: 21 Then say to them that Adonai Elohim says: 'I will take the people of Isra'el from among the nations where they have gone and gather them from every side and bring them back to their own land. (CJB)

(See also Numbers 34:1-15.)

No tribe or race in history has remained a distinct people group outside of a national homeland for thousands of years like the Jewish people! (Christianity is only 2,000 years old, while Islam is even less than that.) No people on earth have ever been repatriated after dozens of generations had forgotten their distinct language. No people, that is, except for Yahweh's people…

BOTTOM LINE: If you choose to hate YHWH’s people (who are blanketly known as “Jews”), that is your choice. You will get to explain your choice to HIM and His Divine Messiah (who was a JEW) on Judgment Day!

So ... beware of "armchair experts" and their "new" or "cool-sounding" revelations - because they CAN and WILL lead you astray, if you're not careful.
