If you can't guess the people I have in mind, I'll give you some
clues---clues found in a major world religion that is many centuries
old. I'll call it Religion X.
Religion X traces its roots back to the First Couple, Adam and
Eve.
They were on earth before any other form of worship---before Islam
(appearing 14 centuries ago), before Hinduism or Buddhism (appearing
25 centuries ago), before even the worship of various gods in
Mesopotamia (60 centuries ago).
Early on, Religion X'ers were told by their God: "Love your
neighbor---and even the stranger who dwells among you---as much as
you love yourself." But it wasn't long before Religion X began rebelling
against the laws of the One who had blessed and preserved it so much.
In response God warned: "All those who hate me love death."
After centuries of hating their God (which predictably led to
hatred of fellow humans, God's creations), Religion X'ers were allowed by
God to be conquered and transported to ancient Babylon where they
experienced a 1,600-year-long "vacation."
If you haven't guessed yet, the religion I'm describing is
Judaism, the religion of my people. But don't stop reading. The most shocking
stuff is just ahead!
While in Babylon, the "wise men" among our people began
formulating new laws which supposedly supplemented and explained the time-tested
Old Testament writings. But the new rules actually contradicted and eventually
replaced the original laws!
The "new and improved" laws are collectively known as the Talmud.
Even though rabbis are Talmudic experts, probably not one Jew in a
thousand (and not one non-Jew in ten thousand) knows what is in the Talmud.
Without further delay, here's some of the Talmud's "wisdom" (plus sources):
(I) THE TALMUD HATES SCIENCE:
Hyenas turn into bats after seven years, and later on turn into
thorns and demons (Baba Kamma, 16a).
Being naked in front of a lamp causes epilepsy (Pesahim, 112b).
There's medicinal value in dirt found in an outhouse's shadow,
also in a white dog's excrement (Gittin, 69a,b).
(II) THE TALMUD HATES FEMALES:
The birth of a girl is an unhappy event (Baba Bathra, 16b).
It is never good to talk too much to women including one's own
wife (Aboth, 1.5).
All women are "temperamentally light-headed" (Kiddushin, 80b).
It is okay to divorce your wife if she spoils your food, or if you
find a more beautiful woman (Gittin, 91a).
(III) THE TALMUD HATES CHILDREN:
It is lawful for a girl three years old to have sexual intercourse
(Abodah Zarah, 37a; Kethuboth, 11b,39a; Sanhedrin, 55b,69a,b;
Yebamoth, 12a,57b,58a,60b).
When a man commits sodomy with a boy under nine years of age, it
"is not deemed as pederasty" (Sanhedrin, 54b,55a).
Sexual intercourse with a boy under the age of eight is lawful
since it isn't fornication (Sanhedrin, 69b).
(In other words, Religion X became X-rated! Is it any wonder that
many Jewish persons today are liberally involved with the current sexual
revolution and are even favorable towards legalization of adult-child
sex?)
(IV) THE TALMUD HATES ALL NON-JEWS:
Since all Gentiles are only animals, all Gentile children are
bastards (Yebamoth, 98a).
When a non-Jew robs a Jew, he has to pay him back, but if a Jew
robs a non-Jew, he doesn't have to pay him back. Moreover, when a Gentile
kills a Jew, the Gentile must be killed, but when a Jew kills a Gentile,
"there is no death penalty" (Sanhedrin, 57a).
It is okay to "use subterfuges" in a court of law in order to
cheat a non-Jew (Baba Kamma, 113a).
(V) THE TALMUD HATES CHRIST AND CHRISTIANS:
Jesus was born a bastard (Jewish Encyclopedia, "Jesus"; Yebamoth,
49b). Mary, the mother of Jesus, was a whore and "played the harlot with
carpenters" (Sanhedrin, 106a,b).
Jesus "practised sorcery and enticed Israel to apostacy" (Sanhedrin, 43a).
Jesus was punished and sent to Hell where he ended up in "boiling
hot excrement" (Gittin, 56b,57a).
Christians will go to Hell "and be punished there for all generations"
(Rosh Hashanah, 17a).
Those who read "the works of the Judeo-Christians, i.e., the New
Testament" will end up in Hell (Sanhedrin, 90a).
The books of the Christians "may not be saved from a fire, but
they must be burnt in their place, they and the Divine Names occurring in
them" (Shabbath, 116a).
(Now you know what's been inspiring many of the anti-Christian
attitudes and actions these days.)
By roughly 500 A.D. Jewish scribes had completed the voluminous
Talmud, the written version of what had long been the Jews' oral
tradition---the tradition that Jesus condemns in the 23rd chapter of
Matthew and other parts of the New Testament.
Whenever anyone claims that for 1500 years the Talmud needlessly
aggravated Gentiles (who in turn put Jews into ghettos and even the
Holocaust), Jews can look at even earlier history and claim that the
"anti-Jewishness" of the New Testament forced Jews to hit back with
their printed version of the Talmud.
Actually the New Testament, like a newspaper, merely reflects the
true condition of Judaism at that time. If someone could prove that
damaging descriptions of Jews never appeared before the New Testament, that
would be one thing. But during many centuries prior to Jesus or any
Christians, Jews were saying and doing the same things that we find them still
saying and doing during New Testament days!
If the New Testament record of their words and works is "anti-Semitic,"
is the Old Testament record of the same rebelliousness just as "anti-Semitic"?
A while ago I was talking with a young woman in Los Angeles who is
training to become a rabbi. I asked her about the Talmud. (She seemed
shocked I should know so much about it already!) "Oh," she said, "I
don't think it's as relevant as it once was." When I told her that the
"hate" movie "The Last Temptation of Christ" was an amazingly accurate
reflection of the Talmud---and that more such "hate" films are in the
works because Hollywood takes the Talmud seriously---she had no
explanation.
In the future when "hate" laws are passed, will the incredibly
hate-filled Talmud and some hate-promoting film studios be swept
under the rug?
You know what? I found out that some of the past leaders of my
people lied when it came to science, women, children, non-Jews, and
Christianity and its leader. I found out that Jesus is the only Messiah and
Saviour for everyone on earth. I found out a lot when I prayed to Jesus and
said "If you really are who you say you are in the New Testament, please
reveal yourself to me and I will follow and trust you forever."
Guess what. He did and I have been. Sure there are cheap
imitations of the real thing (anything of value is counterfeited), but once you
really connect with Jesus, you'll know everything you need to know about
salvation---your own salvation!
Not only is genuine salvation free, it makes a person free!
