Judaism:

The World’s Strangest Religion

By Dr. E. R. Fields

O NE OF THE GREAT MYTHS of our time is that a Jewish synagogue is the same thing as a Christian church. Even the Jews disagree with this. Most people think that the only difference is that Christians believe that the Messiah has already arrived in the personage of Jesus Christ, while the Jews reject Christ.

What Are The Real Differences?

1) CHRISTIANS BELIEVE that those who accept Jesus Christ as their Savior and lead a righteous life will be rewarded with eternal life in heaven, while sinners who are unforgiven will go to hell.

The Jewish Encyclopedia (1948 edition) Vol. 5, page 269 states: "Heaven, it was thought, must merely be an idealized state of existence on earth!” ln Vol. 4, page 484 it states: “Beliefs about the hereafter never solidified into dogmas in Judaism...Traditional Judaism consigns this subject to the realm - of those hidden matters on which it is deemed inadvisable to speculate. The final destiny of the individual is subordinated to the question of the future of the Jewish people.”

(Thus Judaism is based on the future success of the Jewish race, and not upon a heavenly reward from God. However, Orthodox Jews believe that the Judgement Day will arrive when all Gentiles are dominated by the Jewish nation!)

When Jews join a synagogue, they sign a contract to pay so much money per year. The better the seating, the higher the price. There have been court cases of Jews being sued by the Rabbi after dropping out and not paying the contract in full. They may still owe hundreds or thousands of dollars! Tickets are also sold for special events in the synagogue during High Holy days.

2) Christians will accept anyone into a church whether they can give large or small voluntary donations, or nothing at all. Christians also give millions of dollars a year to help poor people throughout the world regardless of what religion they follow. The Jews do not believe in giving money to any organization unless it benefits a Jewish cause.

Judaism is the only religion in the world which has no “missionary” program. They frown on converts and believe that one must be born of a Jewish mother in order to be recognized as a Jew. (Today many Jews will accept one born of a Jewish father.) It is Jewish blood which makes one a Jew. Jews actively try to discourage converts. Many who have married Jews and sought to become converts say they are never truly accepted by racial Jews as a “fellow Jew.”

3) Christian churches spend millions annually on missionary efforts world-wide to win one and all to the faith of Jesus Christ. All who are baptized and accept Christ as their Lord and Savior are happily welcomed into the fellowship of Christianity.

Judaism Is Based On Race

THE JEWISH Encyclopedia (1948 edition) in Vol. 6 regarding the striking differences which exist between Judaism and other religions states:

“The very name Judaism sharply differentiates it from other religions. Whereas Buddhism centers in Buddha, Christianity in Christ, Mohammedanism in Mohammed, Judaism centers in no particular personality - but in the Jewish people themselves...while Christianity is based upon events in the life of Christ, Judaism is based on occurrences in the history of the Jews.

“Christians look to Jesus Christ for their salvation and Godliness. In Judaism the center of gravity is in the Jewish people themselves.”

“Jewish history records a continuous struggle against other nations and their religions...Judaism has grown out of the soul of the Jewish people and has been nourished by their life-blood. Hence it is not called Mosaism, prophetism, rabbinism, but Judaism - AFTER THE JEWISH PEOPLE THEMSELVES!”

Christianity Forgives -

Judaism Seeks Vengeance

THE JEWISH Encyclopedia states that another important difference is that Christians believe in “grace,” while Jews believe in “justice!” Grace is defined as a Christian receiving “the unmerited love and favor of God...and the forgiving of one’s enemies as we would have them forgive us.”

Judaism believes in “JUSTICE,” which is defined as: “the reward or penalty as deserved just deserts or the punishment for a wrong.” In other words, THEY REJECT THE CHRISTIAN IDEAL OF LOVING ONE’S ENEMIES or the “turning of the cheek.” Judaism teaches the punishment and even destruction of their enemies.

Judaism is based upon the “eternal hatred of all enemies” and calls for an “eye for an eye” and “a tooth for a tooth” philosophy. Thus the exacting of “vengeance” upon all opponents constitutes the very core of this strange religion and it is expressed in their famous motto: “NEVER FORGIVE - NEVER FORGET!”

Could any religion be more opposite of Christianity? The most respected leader within every Jewish community is he who has accumulated the most wealth! Judaism is based upon the rewards of this life—with its goal being financial success, luxury, and living a life of pleasure and materialism.

“The Reflex,” a magazine produced for Rabbis explains the role of the Rabbis: “He is valued most as the executive manager of a wealthy congregation. He knows and cherishes the power of money and is adept in matters of finance, mortgages and loans!”

Bernard Lazare, one of the greatest Jewish writers in all history in his book “Anti-Semitism” on page 350 wrote: “The Jew is not satisfied with de-Christianizing, he destroys Catholic or Protestant faiths, he provokes indifference but he imposes his idea of the world, of morals and of life upon those whose faith he ruins. He works at his age old task, the annihilation of the religion of Christ!”

Lazare also wrote in this same book: “The only conquest the Jews have ever made is by the holding of gold. They became the masters of their masters—they dominated them. For the Jews love of gold, there can be no question!” “The London Jewish World” of March 15, 1923 declared: “Fundamentally, Judaism is anti-Christian!”

Benjamin Disraeli (1804-1881) became the first and only Jew ever to be Prime Minister of England. He wrote a book in 1858 entitled “Lord George Bentinck: A Political Biography.” Disraeli wrote on page 357 the following: “The people of God co-operate with atheists; the most skillful accumulators of property ally themselves with communists; this peculiar and chosen race touch the hand of all the scum and low casts of Europe! And all this because they wish to destroy that ungrateful Christendom whose tyranny they can no longer endure!”

Judaism’s Secret Book - The Talmud

MOST CHRISTIANS BELIEVE that the Jews follow only the Old Testament of the Holy Bible and reject the New Testament. The truth is their “real bible” is “The Talmud.” The Jewish book “The Mizbeach” states that “there is nothing superior to the ‘Holy Talmud!’”

The Talmud is made up of 63 books, and is often printed in about 18 large volumes. The Talmud was written by Rabbinical sages between the years 200 AD and 500 AD.

While Christians follow the Twelve Commandments, the Jews follow the 613 Commandments of The Talmud. The BIG SECRET is -just what are these commandments of the Jews?

Eight Catholic Popes condemned the Talmud. Martin Luther, founder to the Protestant Church ordered it burned! Pope Clement VIII declared: “The impious Talmudic, Cabalistic and other wicked books of the Jews are hereby entirely condemned and they must always remain condemned and prohibited and this law must be perpetually observed.”

What The Talmud Rules About Christians

THE TALMUD holds that only Jews are true human beings and Gentiles are the “goyim” who are on the level with cattle and other animals. The following are shocking but exact quotes from the various books of “The Talmud.”

Sanhedrin 59a: “Murdering Goyim is like killing a wild animal.”

Abodah Zara 26b: “Even the best of the Gentiles should be killed.”

Sanhedrin 59a: “A goy (Gentile) who pries into The Law (Talmud) is guilty of death.”

Libbre David 37: “To communicate anything to a Goy about our religious relations would be equal to the killing of all Jews, for if the Goyim knew what we leach about them, they would kill us openly.”

Yebhamoth 11 b: “Sexual intercourse with a little girl is permitted if she is three years of age.”

Sanhedrin 105ab: “Jesus fornicated with his jackass.”

Gittin 57a: “Jesus is in hell and is being punished by being boiled in hot semen. Christians are boiled in dung.”

(NOTE: The violent hatred of the Jews for Jesus Christ is clearly expressed in The Talmud where it highly praises the torture and crucifixion of Jesus. It adds that Christ deserved four other sadistic types of death. It says that Jesus also deserved to be sunk in dung to the armpits and then strangled - sunk in dung to the armpits and then boiling lead poured down his throat to burn out His intestines - stoned to death, or decapitated!)

Schabouth Hag. 6d: “Jews may swear falsely by use of subterfuge wording.

Zohar 1,160a: “Jews must always try to deceive Christians.”

Hilkkoth Akum XI: “Do not save Goyim in danger of death.”

Kilkhoth Akum XI “Show no mercy to the Goyim.”

Choschen Hamm 388, 15: “If it can be proven that someone has given the money of Israelites to the Goyim, a way must be found after prudent consideration to wipe him off the face of the earth.”

Choschen Ham 266,1: “A Jew may keep anything he finds which belongs to the Akum (Gentile), For he who returns lost property (to Gentiles) sins against the Law by increasing the power of the transgressors of the Law. It is praiseworthy, however, to return lost property if it is done to honor the name of God, namely, if by so doing Christians will praise the Jews and look upon them as honorable people.”

Choschen Ham (156,5 Hagah): “The Jew is allowed to go to the Akum (Gentile), lead him on, do business with him, to deceive him and take his money. For the wealth of the Akum is to be regarded as common property and belongs to the first who can get it.” Sotah, 12a: “The money of the truly righteous Jew is more precious to them even than their own bodies.”

Foes Destroyed During the Purim Feast

THE JEWISH FEAST of Purim is Jewry’s biggest celebration. Each year, the secret businessmen’s B’nai B’rith fraternity selects two Gentile enemies of the Jews who are to be hanged in effigy. Last year they hanged Yasser Arafat and Syrian President Assad. The year before it was Austrian President Kurt Waldheim and anti-Zionist U.N. leader V. Soinsky.

Besides hanging “two enemies of Zion” in effigy, the Jews make dolls and cookies which are called “Haman.” The celebrants then smash the dolls with hammers or stomp upon them with their heels screaming, “we have destroyed Haman the enemy of the Jews.” They break the arms and legs off cookies and eat them saying: “we have devoured Haman.” All the while hissing and swinging noisemakers to drown out the name of the hated Haman each time it is uttered.

Jews pray that this will be the fate of all the enemies of Zion! They have even denounced people of the U.S. Congress as “Hated Hamans” for voting against foreign aid to Israel. Can anyone visualize such a “feast of hatred” existing in any Christian Church? Such a vicious hatred is foreign to everything that can be called Christian!

The Shocking “Kol Nidre” Oath

JEWISH PRAYER books hold the Kol Nidre, (“All Vows”) to be the most solemn of all prayers of the Jews. It is sung in the synagogue three times as the first ritual of Yom Kippur which is the holiest day of the Jewish New Year. It permits Jews to disavow in advance all promises, oaths, or sworn statements they may make to Gentiles during the coming year. Here are the words of this - the most important prayer of Judaism:

“All vows, obligations, oaths, anathemas, whether called ‘konam,’ ‘konas,’ or by any other name, which we may vow or swear or pledge, or whereby we may be bound, from this day of atonement unto the next, whose happy coming we await, we do repent. May they be deemed absolved, forgiven, annulled, void and made of no effect; they shall not bind us or have power over us. The vows shall not be reckoned vows; the obligations shall not be obligatory; nor the oaths be oaths.”

The Jewish Encyclopedia (1948 edition) states: “The Kol Nidre attains extraordinary popularity through the gripping melody and the earnestness and solemnity of the hour and exercises a profound influence upon the praying congregation.”

The Bar Mitzvah - A Pledge to The Jewish Race

WHEN A JEWISH BOY reaches age 13, he begins to prepare for his Bar Mitzvah. There is nothing like it in any other religion.

The young Jew has spent 10 to 15 hours a week at the Hebrew school learning about the powerful figures in Jewish life whom he should identify with and strive to emulate. The age-old enemies now become his personal and present enemies. His racial identity becomes stronger and he feels an obligation to overcome the old and present foes of his people.

It is a day-long celebration in which relatives travel long distances to attend and friends from the local Jewish community bring gifts for the Bar Mitzvah Boy. There is a great deal of singing, chanting, drinking and finally the Rabbi steps forward with the final blessing:

“When you arrived at the Synagogue this morning, there were nine men present. After you entered, there were ten men. That is the first time in your life that occurred because - now you count! From now on, you must take your place as a Jew in overcoming all enemies of our people!”

This is followed by toasts and short congratulatory speeches. The young Jew is now a part of the Jewish nation ready to confront that “hostile world of the Gentiles. “ The Jew is loyal to his race - self-assured, aggressive, disciplined with high self-esteem, purpose and steadfast loyalty to his race.

How unprepared are we Christians in facing this “United Front of The Jews.” We are taught to be humble, to turn the other cheek, to be meek and mild...is it any wonder this small 4% of our population controls over 50% of our nation’s wealth; and their political power expands with each passing day!

The Jewish Kabbala states: “The Jew is the living God, God incarnate: he is the heavenly man. The other men are earthly, of inferior race. They exist only to serve the Jew. They are the cattle seed!”

The “Judeo-Christian” Hoax

JOINT RELIGIOUS services under the auspices of “Judeo-Christian” programs are an affront to any true Christian. It is a cunning attempt to subjugate our faith beneath one which is anti-Christian in every conceivable way! Christianity has more in common with Mohammedanism, Hinduism or Buddhism than with Judaism. However, an ecumenical service with these religions would be unthinkable!

Hollywood and TV have done much to brainwash Christians into believing that the Jews are “God’s Chosen People.” The truth is that the Jews broke their covenant with Abraham and are no longer heirs to God’s promises. Christians, who have accepted Jesus Christ as their Savior, are indeed the true “Chosen People of God!”

The Jewish Encyclopedia contemptuously describes Christians as those who believe in ascetic monasticism! “This means training the body for self-denial and living an austere life.”

Judaism teaches the exact opposite in that “life is good and should be endowed with material worth.” Thus they believe in achieving riches and pleasure in this life!

Judaism is a religion based upon selfishness, greed, revenge, and hatred of one’s enemies whose sacred slogan is: “NEVER FORGIVE - NEVER FORGET.” It is vital that Christians never allow such a philosophy to ever enter and corrupt our religion!

THE TRUTH AT LAST
