For sometime we have allowed infiltrators into the the Church who having spied our freedom, who seek to enslave us, “This issue arose because some false brothers had come in under false pretenses to spy on our freedom in Christ Jesus, in order to enslave us, to whom we did not yield in subjection for even an hour, so that truth of the gospel would be preserved with you” (Galatians 2:4-5). The Messianic Jewish Movement has sought to take the Church that broke off and graft it back into Judaism.. when the Jews rejected Jesus, “He came to that which was His own [that which belonged to Him—His world, His creation, His possession], and those who were His own [people—the Jewish nation] did not receive and welcome Him,” (John 1:11), and He even condemned them as children of Satan, “Jesus said to the people who believed in him, “You are truly my disciples if you remain faithful to my teachings. And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
“But we are descendants of Abraham,” they said. “We have never been slaves to anyone. What do you mean, ‘You will be set free’?”
Jesus replied, “I tell you the truth, everyone who sins is a slave of sin. A slave is not a permanent member of the family, but a son is part of the family forever. So if the Son sets you free, you are truly free. Yes, I realize that you are descendants of Abraham. And yet some of you are trying to kill me because there’s no room in your hearts for my message. I am telling you what I saw when I was with my Father. But you are following the advice of your father.”
“Our father is Abraham!” they declared. “No,” Jesus replied, “for if you were really the children of Abraham, you would follow his example. Instead, you are trying to kill me because I told you the truth, which I heard from God. Abraham never did such a thing. No, you are imitating your real father.” They replied, “We aren’t illegitimate children! God himself is our true Father.”
Jesus told them, “If God were your Father, you would love me, because I have come to you from God. I am not here on my own, but he sent me. Why can’t you understand what I am saying? It’s because you can’t even hear me! For you are the children of your father the devil, and you love to do the evil things he does. He was a murderer from the beginning. He has always hated the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, it is consistent with his character; for he is a liar and the father of lies. So when I tell the truth, you just naturally don’t believe me!” (John 8:31-45).
We have handed over our Bibles to the Jew. The Old Testament in most Christian Bibles is from The Masoretic Text, which is 7 to 12 Century A.D. (A.C.E, Middle Ages), when Jews hated the Church. Our Lord Jesus and The Apostles quoted The Septuagint Greek Old Testament which dates 60 B.C. (B.C.E), before Jews tried to erase the Christ from the prophecies, like omitting Isaiah Chapter 53 from their Tankhs (Old Testaments); most Jews have Half-Tankhs that remove Isaiah Chapter 53
The time has come to reclaim our Faith as the apostles had to do at the Council of Jerusalem when Jews tried to impose The Law of Moses on Christians, “But some men came down from Judea and were teaching the brothers, “Unless you are circumcised according to the custom of Moses, you cannot be saved.” And after Paul and Barnabas had no small dissension and debate with them, Paul and Barnabas and some of the others were appointed to go up to Jerusalem to the apostles and the elders about this question. So, being sent on their way by the church, they passed through both Phoenicia and Samaria, describing in detail the conversion of the Gentiles, and brought great joy to all the brothers. When they came to Jerusalem, they were welcomed by the church and the apostles and the elders, and they declared all that God had done with them. But some believers who belonged to the party of the Pharisees rose up and said, “It is necessary to circumcise them and to order them to keep the law of Moses.”
The apostles and the elders were gathered together to consider this matter. And after there had been much debate, Peter stood up and said to them, “Brothers, you know that in the early days God made a choice among you, that by my mouth the Gentiles should hear the word of the gospel and believe. And God, who knows the heart, bore witness to them, by giving them the Holy Spirit just as he did to us, and he made no distinction between us and them, having cleansed their hearts by faith. Now, therefore, why are you putting God to the test by placing a yoke on the neck of the disciples that neither our fathers nor we have been able to bear? But we believe that we will be saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, just as they will.” (Acts 15:1-11). We have to remember being a Son of Abraham means nothing, “There is [now no distinction in regard to salvation] neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you [who believe] are all one in Christ Jesus [no one can claim a spiritual superiority].” (Galatians 3:28), and that all that matters is faith in Jesus Christ Son of God! Jesus even says those who refuse to believe in Him are condemned, “Whoever believes and has decided to trust in Him [as personal Savior and Lord] is not judged [for this one, there is no judgment, no rejection, no condemnation]; but the one who does not believe [and has decided to reject Him as personal Savior and Lord] is judged already [that one has been convicted and sentenced], because he has not believed and trusted in the name of the [One and] only begotten Son of God [the One who is truly unique, the only One of His kind, the One who alone can save him” (John 3:18) and “Look out for the dogs, look out for the evildoers, look out for those who mutilate the flesh. For we are the circumcision, who worship by the Spirit of God and glory in Christ Jesus and put no confidence in the flesh— though I myself have reason for confidence in the flesh also. If anyone else thinks he has reason for confidence in the flesh, I have more: 5 circumcised on the eighth day, of the people of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; as to the law, a Pharisee; as to zeal, a persecutor of the church; as to righteousness under the law, blameless. But whatever gain I had, I counted as loss for the sake of Christ. Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God that depends on faith— that I may know him and the power of his resurrection, and may share his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, that by any means possible I may attain the resurrection from the dead.” (Philippians 3:2-10).
In fact, Apostle Paul says Jews have veil of blindness, “But their minds were closed. For to this day the same veil remains at the reading of the old covenant. It has not been lifted, because only in Christ can it be removed. And even to this day when Moses is read, a veil covers their hearts. But whenever anyone turns to the Lord (The Lord Jesus, see Romans 10:9-10, Philippians 2:4-11), the veil is taken away,” (2 Corinthians 3:14-15). He even declares they are spiritual enemies, “For you, brothers, became imitators of the churches of God in Christ Jesus that are in Judea. For you suffered the same things from your own countrymen as they did from the Jews, who killed both the Lord Jesus and the prophets, and drove us out, and displease God and oppose all mankind by hindering us from speaking to the Gentiles that they might be saved—so as always to fill up the measure of their sins. But wrath has come upon them at last!” (1 Thessalonians 2:14-16 ESV).
We have allowed The Jews like those of Acts 15:2-5 to come into our churches and deceive people into doing Levitical and Mosaic Laws, returning to the old covenant when it is obsolete, “By calling this covenant “new,” he has made the first one obsolete; and what is obsolete and outdated will soon disappear,” (Hebrews 8:13) and the Law could never save, “The law of Moses was unable to save us because of the weakness of our sinful nature. So God did what the law could not do. He sent his own Son in a body like the bodies we sinners have. And in that body God declared an end to sin’s control over us by giving his Son as a sacrifice for our sins.” (Romans 8:3). For Jesus is the end of the Law, “For Christ is the end of the law, to bring righteousness to everyone who believes,” (Romans 10:4), and “The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the Law. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.” (1 Corinthians 5:56-57).
They Jew preys on our Christian charity (love in action) and have gotten a foothold. Look at 700 Club and CBN which fawns after The State of Israel and Gordon Robertson as of this Wednesday Episode is quoting Jewish Rabbis not Church Scholars! So many churches have become supporters of the State of Israel and Jews; based on outdated promise of God, “Whoever blesses Israel will be blessed,” (Numbers 24:9), that is obsolete (Hebrews 8:13) under the New Covenant! They arn’t God’s chosen people anyone (they are the devil’s children, John 8:44) because they rejected The Great I AM Incarnate, Jesus The Christ! Christians are God’s Chosen People now, whither they are African or Assyrian, Hebrew or Greek or Slavic or Spainish, and etc! We are One in Christ!
I want to be clear that I condemn Antisemitism. Jews are not to be attacked or hated. But we must draw a distinction spiritually from them as guardians of the gospel of Jesus Christ and protectors of the New Covenant. As Jesus said we cannot put new wine in old wineskins, “No one puts new wine into old [a]wineskins; otherwise the [fermenting] wine will [expand and] burst the skins, and the wine is lost as well as the wineskins. But new wine must be put into new wineskins.” (Mark 2:22). In the same way we cannot use old wine in new skins. The Prophet Jeremiah foretold the anew Covenant, “Behold, days are coming,” declares the Lord, “when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah, not like the covenant which I made with their fathers on the day I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, My covenant which they broke, although I was a husband to them,” declares the Lord. “For this is the covenant which I will make with the house of Israel after those days,” declares the Lord: “I will put My law within them and write it on their heart; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people.” (Jeremiah 33:31-33), which Jesus reveals is He, “And he took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body, which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me.” And likewise the cup after they had eaten, saying, “This cup that is poured out for you is the new covenant in my blood” (Luke 22:19-20). Notice Jeremiah says “it will not be like the covenant when they came out of Egypt” (Jeremiah 33:32), The Law of Moses!
If we are not careful we will have our faith buried in the Star of David like how it was locked in Latin by Rome before The Reformation. We must not let Jews influence our faith. Sure, do not hate or commit acts of violence against Jews, but we may battle in the spheres of theology and doctrine, and protect our pure devotion to Christ and His Gospel! Amen.
