“When, years before, John Hyrcanus had forced Judaism on the Idumeans he evidently conjectured that the new, though unwilling, converts could learn to identify their own destiny with that of his people. The gruesome accuracy of his Realpolitik was now vindicated, albeit not as John would have wished.

“Antipater was of Idumean descent. During the reign of Alexander Janneus has father had served as governor of idumea. The son, however, had larger ambitions. He perceived that the tulmult within Judea could serve his own purposes if he but acted adroitly. The first step was to win the good faith of the defeated, equivocating Hyrcanus; from then on Antipater ceaselessly urged him to contest the throne that Aristobulus had usurped. Was not Hyrcanus the elder brother? Was not the crown in all justice his? Was it manly to resign so placidly? And the prodding was effective, especially since Antipater guaranteed the assistance of a neighboring Arab king.”

What’s missing from this brief excerpt is what’s meant by “Realpolitik”: it was the conversion of the Edomites to jews and their becoming “an inseparable part of the Jewish people” as Judaica Encyclopedia describes it, or that “from then on they constituted a part of the Jewish people, Herod being one of their descendants”, as the Standard Jewish Encyclopedia says.

JEWS. A corrupted form, doubtless, of Judah, and applied to the people of the kingdom of Judah and Benjamin, 2 Kin. 16:6; 25:25; 2 Chr. 32:18.

Under the heading of "A brief History of the Terms for Jew" in the 1980 Jewish Almanac is the following: "STRICTLY SPEAKING IT IS INCORRECT TO CALL AN ANCIENT ISRAELITE A 'JEW' OR TO CALL A CONTEMPORARY JEW AN ISREALITE OR A HEBREW." (1980 Jewish Almanac, p. 3).

JUST Site the BIBLE VERSE where Jesus condemned the Jewish people.
If the verse does not even have the word "Jew", in it, do not bother.
Everyone will know that it is just some more of your twisting.
I guess this is why you cannot do it.

Do not write two sentences of your own for every sentence that Jesus spoke.
Again, everyone will know that it is just some more of your twisting.

Do not try to turn what He said about a specific individual, or some small
group (such as the Pharasees), into a condemnation of Jews.

After you fail to do this, I will post a few hundred verses that says that
Jesus WAS a Jew, that Jesus WAS a RABBI, that Jesus taught in a synagogue,
that Jesus celebrated passover, that Jesus was a descendant of Abraham, that
Jesus was a descendant of David, and that Jesus WAS hailed widely as THE
KING OF the Jews. You will notice that I do not need to add to or take away
from these verses.

You are correct for once, John. Jesus was a "rabbi". But you forget that this word was translated from the Hebrew word "rhabbi", which is the language of the descendants of Eber. The "jews" [read: descendants of Ashkenaz] of today and those descendants of Ashkenaz who lived in Judaea when Christ was born are NOT descendants of Eber, and thus are NOT Hebrews, and thus stole the word "rabbi" from Hebrews, Israelites, descendants of Shem, Shemites, but NOT jews/Talmudites/Pharisees/Sadducees.

Yes, Jesus "taught" in synagogues, and for what He "taught", "the jews" demanded, against Pontias Pilate's will, that Jesus Christ be crucified, not merely imprisoned nor hanged. As you may know, "the jews" managed to pull this off, much to their chagrin.

Yes, Jesus was a descendant of Abraham and David, but Ashkenazi "jews" were NOT then and are NOT now--because Abraham and David are descendants of Shem, but Ashkenazis are descendants of Ashkenaz who is a descendant of Japeth.

Jesus was "hailed" as the "King of the jews"? Wrong! Not even "the jews" wanted Pontias Pilate to put a plaque on the cross which said this:

When Pilate heard this, he brought Jesus out and sat down on the judge's seat at a place known as the Stone Pavement (which in Aramaic is Gabbatha). It was the day of Preparation of Passover Week, about the sixth hour. "Here is your king," Pilate said to the Jews. But they shouted, "Take him away! Take him away! Crucify him!" "Shall I crucify your king?" Pilate asked. "We have no king but Caesar," the chief priests answered. John 19:14

When Pontias Pilate persisted, consider how much "the chief priests of the Jews" whiiiiiiined. They sounded then just like you sound now, John!

Pilate had a notice prepared and fastened to the cross. It read: JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS. Many of the Jews read this sign, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city, and the sign was written in Aramaic, Latin and Greek. The chief priests of the Jews protested to Pilate, "Do not write `The King of the Jews,' but that this man claimed to be king of the Jews." Pilate answered, "What I have written, I have written."

Is this what you mean by "hailed as the King of the Jews", John?

Then Pilate announced to the chief priests and the crowd, "I find no basis for a charge against this man." But they insisted, "He stirs up the people all over Judea ^[2] by his teaching. He started in Galilee and has come all the way here." On hearing this, Pilate asked if the man was a Galilean. When he learned that Jesus was under Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who was also in Jerusalem at that time. Luke 23:5

Pontias Pilate was Procurator of Judaea, and thus did not have jurisdiction over Galileans, which Jesus Christ was. Had Jesus been a Judaean [read: a "jew"] there would have been no need to send Jesus to King Herod the Great, because Pilate would have been able to deal with him directly.

In other words, Jesus was a Galilean, not a "jew" as modern day "jews" [read: Ashkenazis] like to claim.

When the seven days were nearly over, some Jews from the province of Asia saw Paul at the temple. They stirred up the whole crowd and seized him, shouting, "Men of Israel, help us! This is the man who teaches all men everywhere against our people and our law and this place. And besides, he has brought Greeks into the temple area and defiled this holy place." (They had previously seen Trophimus the Ephesian in the city with Paul and assumed that Paul had brought him into the temple area.) The whole city was aroused, and the people came running from all directions. Seizing Paul, they dragged him from the temple, and immediately the gates were shut.While they were trying to kill him, news reached the commander of the Roman troops that the whole city of Jerusalem was in an uproar. Acts 21:28

Some of the Jews were persuaded and joined Paul and Silas, as did a large number of God-fearing Greeks and not a few prominent women. But the Jews were jealous; so they rounded up some bad characters from the marketplace, formed a mob and started a riot in the city. They rushed to Jason's house in search of Paul and Silas in order to bring them out to the crowd. Acts 17:5

The next morning the Jews formed a conspiracy and bound themselves with an oath not to eat or drink until they had killed Paul. More than forty men were involved in this plot. They went to the chief priests and elders and said, "We have taken a solemn oath not to eat anything until we have killed Paul. Acts 23:12

The next day Agrippa and Bernice came with great pomp and entered the audience room with the high ranking officers and the leading men of the city. At the command of Festus, Paul was brought in. Festus said: "King Agrippa, and all who are present with us, you see this man! The whole Jewish community has petitioned me about him in Jerusalem and here in Caesarea, shouting that he ought not to live any longer. I found he had done nothing deserving of death, but because he made his appeal to the Emperor I decided to send him to Rome. Acts 25:24

But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to where he was baptizing, he said to them: "You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath?" Matthew 3:11

[Paul wrote] To the Jews I became like a Jew, to win the Jews. To those under the law I became like one under the law (though I myself am not under the law), so as to win those under the law. To those not having the law I became like one not having the law (though I am not free from God's law but am under Christ's law), so as to win those not having the law. To the weak I became weak, to win the weak. I have become all things to all men so that by all possible means I might save some. I do all this for the sake of the gospel, that I may share in its blessings. 1 Corinthians 9:20

Different translations of the Holy Bible contain different perspectives on what Jesus meant when he was talking to the Samaritan woman. When the Samaritan woman hinted that she thought he was a jew by saying: "Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, and you Jews say that in Jerusalem is the place where one ought to worship", he corrected her by saying: "Believe me, woman, a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem."

The synagogues were, of course, in Jerasulem, so when Jesus said that you won't be needing to go to the synagogues any longer to worship God, he meant that she would no longer have to worry about being ruled by "the jews". Some translations [Darby, NKJV, KJV] state "for salvation is of the Jews", some [NIV, NIV-IBS, NASB, RSV] state "for salvation is from the Jews", one [YLT] states: "because the salvation is of the Jews", and one [WE] even states: "The Saviour will come of the Jews".

The WE version implies that Jesus "The Saviour" was a jew, which is a ludicrous and incomprehensible translation. All the other translations show that the word "salvation" was a promise to the Samaritan woman that she would be freed from "the jews". If Jesus had been a jew, rather than saying "the jews" He would have said "us jews", or "we jews". By no means were the jews "Saviours". Matthew 16:12: "Then they understood that he [Jesus] was not telling them to guard against the yeast used in bread, but against the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees [read: jews].


Darby:

21 Jesus says to her, Woman, believe me, [the] hour is coming when ye shall neither in this mountain nor in Jerusalem worship the Father.

22 Ye worship ye know not what; we worship what we know, for salvation is of the Jews.

23 But [the] hour is coming and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and truth; for also the Father seeks such as his worshippers.

24 God [is] a spirit; and they who worship him must worship [him] in spirit and truth.

25 The woman says to him, I know that Messias is coming, who is called Christ; when *he* comes he will tell us all things.

26 Jesus says to her, I who speak to thee am [he].

NIV:

21 Jesus declared, "Believe me, woman, a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.

22 You Samaritans worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews.

23 Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks.

24 God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth."

25 The woman said, "I know that Messiah" (called Christ) "is coming. When he comes, he will explain everything to us."

26 Then Jesus declared, "I who speak to you am he."

WE

20 Jesus said, `Woman, believe what I say. The time is coming when you will not come to
this mountain or to Jerusalem to worship my Father.

21 You worship one whom you do not know. But we know whom we worship. The Saviour will
come of the Jews.

22 But the time is coming, yes, the time is here already, when those who worship God
will worship him in spirit and in a true way. My Father is looking for that kind of people
to worship him.

23 God is Spirit. Those who worship him must do so in spirit and in a true way.'

24 The woman said to Jesus, `I know that Messiah is coming. His name is Christ. When he
comes he will tell us everything.'

25 Jesus said to her, `I who am talking to you am he.'

YLT

21 Jesus saith to her, `Woman, believe me, that there doth come an hour, when neither
in this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, shall ye worship the Father;

22 ye worship what ye have not known; we worship what we have known, because the
salvation is of the Jews;

23 but, there cometh an hour, and it now is, when the true worshippers will worship the
Father in spirit and truth, for the Father also doth seek such to worship him;

24 God [is] a Spirit, and those worshipping Him, in spirit and truth it doth behove to
worship.'

25 The woman saith to him, `I have known that Messiah doth come, who is called Christ,
when that one may come, he will tell us all things;'

26 Jesus saith to her, `I am [he], who am speaking to thee.'

[PART 1]

MEMBER: Reverend, you said in your sermon this morning, that the

jews were "God's chosen people". Tell me sir, who was the first jew?

REVEREND: Abram was the first jew.

MEMBER: Then who was the second jew?

REVEREND: Isaac was the second jew.

MEMBER: Well then , who was the third jew?

REVEREND: Esau was the third jew, who was the twin brother of Jacob,

who was the forth jew.

MEMBER: Reverend, if Abram was the first jew, wouldn't Ishmael his

first born son be the second jew instead of Isaac? Gen. 16:15

REVEREND: No, because Ishmael was born of Hagar, an Egyptian woman

Gen. 16:3.

MEMBER: Then Ishmael was a half jew?

REVEREND: No, Ishmael was the father of twelve princes, Genesis 17:20,

and we know them today as the Arab nations, not as jews.

MEMBER: In other words, Ishmael was not a Jew because his mother

Hagar was not a jew?

REVEREND: That's right. If Hagar had been a Jew, then Ishmael would

have been a jew instead of father of the Arab nations.

MEMBER: Well reverend, if Ishmael could not have been a jew because

his mother was not a jew, then how could Isaac have been a jew since

his mother was Sarai of the Chaldees? Now if she was a jew, then her

parents must have been jews, Genesis 11:28, and therefor Abram could

not have been the first jew. In fact reverend, I don't know how you

can preach that Abram, Isaac or Jacob were jews since the King James

Bible does not call them jews. In fact reverend, knowhere in the Bible

will you find that Moses was a jew, or that King Saul,David or Solomon

were called jews. Try as you may, you can read over five hundred pages

of the Holy Bible and not find the word jew. The first time you will see

it is in 2nd Kings 16:6. And by the way, nowhere in the Holy Bible will

you find the jew's called God's chosen people!

I would suggest that next Sunday morning you tell our congregation

where you got the authority to change the Holy Bible, or admit the

seminary taught you wrong, and that as a result of that false training,

you have been preaching the error, which amounts to a false doctrine.

In Christ, Amen.

WHO WAS THE FIRST JEW PART 2

We know that Saul was the first king of Israel and

that John was the first man called Baptist , but who

was the first jew ? Neither Adam , Seth or Noah are

called jew, nor were Abraham , Isaac or Jacob .

Moses was not called a jew and neither were Saul, David

or Solomon called jew . Infact you will not find the word

jew in the first eleven books of the Bible .

The first time jews are mentioned in the Bible is in 2nd

Kings 16:6 where we find Israel was at war with the jews and

drave the jews from Elath .Isn't it interesting that we can

read over five hundred pages of the bible before we find a Jew

anywhere , yet those who call themselves jew today claim the

first five books of the bible and call it there Torah .

Do you not find it vert strange that thoes who claim to have

written the first five books of the bible and call thmselves

Jew , can't find the word jew written in the book anywhere ,

they call there own bible and claim to have written ?

Jesus Christ tells John in Revelation 2:9 " I know the

blasphamy of them which say they are jews and are not, but

are the SYNAGOGUE OF SATAN ". We know that God changed the

name of Abram to Abraham Gen. 17:5 and that God changed the

name of Jacob to Israel Gen.32:28 but no where in the bible

do we find where God changed the name of his chosen people

Israel to jew !

Therefore there is no authority by which those who say they

are jews can claim to be Israel ! By the time of Jesus the word

Edom or Edomite had been translated by Greek and Latin into

Idumeae-Ioudaios-Iudaeus , also including in this meaning were

the terms Judea-Judean or person living in Judea . The original

King James version of the Bible,1611, translated Idumaean-Judean

into Iewes. It wasn't until the revised editions of the King James

Bible,that the word Jew appeared .(after the year 1800 ) .

The word Jew does not mean Israel or Israelite ! We must

therefore conclude that the first Jews were Canaanite-Edomite

and Hittite. It is certain, according to the Bible,that the

Khazar Jews are not todays Israel.

[ The Khazars became "Jews" 800 years after Christ. ]

Taken from: The Encyclopedia Judaica, published by

Macmillan Company, Volume 10, page 94, states in part,

"KHAZARS, a people who lived between the Caspian and Black

seas in what is now Russia,and may have belonged to the

Empire of the Huns, were converted to JUDAISM under their

Kings Bulan and Obadiah in the 8th century A.D."

At the time of this conversion, the nation of Khazaria

constituted the largest land mass in Europe. These Khazars

imported rabbis to instruct them in hebrew letters, as they

had no written alphabet for their Yiddish language which they

still use today.

They practice and live by Babylonian Talmudism, which

is the tradition of the elders that Jesus Christ spoke

against. You can trace their ancestry to Japheth through

Gomer and Ashkenaz. See Genesis 10:2-3 They are known

today as Ashkenazim Jews, and constitute the vast majority

of so called Jews in the world today, tho their ancestors

never set foot in Palestine and are not Semetic.

JESUS WAS NOT A JEW

BY: Benj. H. Freedman, Historian - Researcher - Scholar.

>From "Common Sense", 2-1-53 and 5-1-59

"Christians Duped By The Unholiest Hoax in All History, By So-Called Jews.

This is Considered Their Most Effective Weapon."

"This 'big lie' technic is brainwashing U.S.A. Christians into believing

that Jesus Christ was "King of the Jews", in the sense that so-called 'Jews'

today call themselves 'Jews'. This reference was first made in English

translations of the Old and New Testaments, centuries before the so-called

Jews highjacked the word 'Jew' in the 19th A.D. century to palm themselves

off on the Christian world as having a kinship with Jesus Christ. This

alleged kinship comes from the myth of their common ancestry with the

so-called 'Jews' of the Holy Land in the Old Testament history, a fiction

based on fable."

"U.S.A. Christians little suspect they are being brainwashed twenty-four

hours of every day over television and radio, by newspapers and magazines,

by motion pictures and plays, by books, by political leaders in office and

seeking office, by religious leaders in their pulpits and outside their

churches, by leaders in the field of education inside and outside their

cirricular activities, and by all leaders in business, professions and

finance, whose economic security demands that they curry the favor of

so-called "Jews" of historic Khazar ancestry. Unsuspecting Christians are

subjected to this barrage from sources they have little reason to suspect.

Incontestible facts supply the unchallengable proof of the historic accuracy

that so-called "Jews" throughout the world today of eastern European origin

are unquestionably the historic descendants of the Khazars, a pagan

Turco-Finn ancient Mongoloid nation deep in the heart of Asia, according to

history, who battled their way in blody wars about the 1st century B.C. into

eastern Europe where they set up their Khazar kingdom. For some mysterious

reason the history of the Khazar kingdom is conspicuous by its absence from

history courses in the schools and colleges.

"The historic existence of the Khazar kingdom of so-called "Jews", their

rise and fall, the permanent disappearance of the Khazar kingdom as a nation

from the map of Europe, and how King Bulan and the Khazar nation in 720 A.D.

became so-called "Jews" by conversion, were concealed from U.S.A. Christians

by censorship imposed by so-called "Jews", of historic Khazar ancestry, upon

all U.S.A. media of mass communications directed by them. Then in 1945 this

author gave nation-wide publicity to his many years intensive research into

the "facts of life" concerning Khazars. The disclosures were sensational and

very effective but apparently angered so-called "Jews" who have continued to

vent their spleen upon this author since then solely for that reason. Since

1946 they have conducted a vicious smear campaign against this author,

seeking thus to further conceal these facts, for obvious reasons. What have

they to fear from the truth?

"In an original 1903 edition of the Jewish Encyclopedia in New Yorks's

Public Library, and in the Library of Congress, Volume IV, pages 1 to 5

inclusive, appears a most comprehensive history of the Khazars. Also in the

New York Public Library are 327 books by the world's greatest historians and

other sources of reference, in addition to the Jewish Encyclopedia, dealing

with Khazar history, and written between the 3rd A.D. and 20th centuries by

contemporaries of the Khazars and by modern historians on that subject."

Jesus was a 'Judean', not a Jew.

During His lifetime, no persons were described as "Jews" anywhere. That fact

is supported by theology, history and science. When Jesus was in Judea, it

was not the "homeland" of the ancestors of those who today style themselves

"Jews". Their ancestors never set a foot in Judea. They existed at that time

in Asia, their "homeland", and were known as Khazars. In neither of the

manuscripts of the original Old or New Testament was Jesus described or

referred to as a "Jew", just as the term "Texan" signifies a person
living

in Texas.

In spite of the powerful propaganda effort of the so-called "Jews", they

have been unable to prove in all the recorded history that there is a

record, prior to that period, of a race religion or nationality, referred to

as "Jew". The religious sect in Judea, in the time of Jesus, to which

self-styled "Jews" today refer to as "Jews", were known as
"Pharisees".

"Judaism" today and "Pharisaism" in the time of Jesus are the same.

Jesus abhored and denounced "Pharisaism"; hence the words, "Woe unto you

Scribes and Pharisees, Hypocrites, Ye Serpents, Ye Generation of Vipers".

*** rapture teaching ***

The original perveyor of this idea was the Jesuit Lacunza alias
"Rabbi Ben

Ezra" He was a jew who converted to Catholicism. The thought is that the

people of that day were beginning to see the Pope as the "anti-christ" --

to counteract this, the "rapture" idea was put in place... The people were

taught that the rapture had to take place BEFORE the "anti-christ"

appeared... which would of course mean that the post couldn't be "it"...

Various people throughout the ages kept the "rapture" fires burning. These

included: Gaebelein, Phanton, Winrod, Estep, Scoffield, Oliver Greene,

Oral Roberts, Billy Graham, Walvoord, Herbert Armstrong and scores of others.}
