DO NOT RELY ON CHRISTIAN “SPIN CITY

Hugh Fogelman

 

Hebrew is called THE HOLY TONGUE, Leshon HaKodesh, because it was the language that God chose to give and record His Torah.

When God gave Moses the “Ten Statements” 1 He ensured that the millions of people gathered at the base of Mt Sinai 2 could understand the meaning of each Statement. Think about this - there were many different dialects and languages (remember the story of Babel in Genesis 11) at the foot of Mt. Sinai - yet they all understood. Moses followed God’s direction ― spoke to the multitudes and recorded the Written Torah ― using the THE HOLY TONGUE – Hebrew. Contrary to what your clergy may have lead you to believe; it was not in the King’s English!

The Christian bible was/is not written in Hebrew!

Let me clear up a common Christian misconception and erroneous teaching. The “Ten Statements, called the 10 commandments by Christians, were given specifically to the children of Israel 1 ― NOT MANKIND!

And Moses went up unto God, and the LORD called unto him out of the mountain, saying, Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel; (Exodus 19:3) [Nope, there are no Christians mentioned here]

And the LORD said unto Moses, Come up to me into the mount, and be there: and I will give thee tables of stone, and a law, and commandments which I have written; that thou mayest teach them. [“THEM:” See Exodus 19:3 above] (Exodus 19:12)

And Moses brought forth the people out of the camp to meet with God; and they stood at the nether part of the mount. [“THEY:” See Exodus 19:3 above]  (Exodus 19:17)

So Moses went down unto the people, and spake unto them. “I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage[“THE PEOPLE, THEM:” See Exodus 19:3 above]   (Exodus 24:25)

Nope, still no gentiles or Christians mentioned here. And thus began the “Ten Statements” given to “to the house of Jacob; the children of Israel.”1

What is known as “Five Books of Moses” ― Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy ― were dictated by G-d to Moses. Again, they were received and recorded in Hebrew, not the King’s English. In Hebrew they are known as the Chamisha Chumshei Torah ― Five books of the Torah. Each book individually is called a Chumash.”

Since all the other books in the Hebrew Bible, comprising “The Prophets” and “The Writings,” refer to God’s Torah, they too were recorded in God’s language Hebrew. This is confirmed by the Dead Sea Scrolls which have been found. Many of the prophets’ writings can be viewed in Israel. See for yourself. For example check out Isaiah’s chapters; yes, they were written in Hebrew.

It is almost comical Christians claim to profess a love for their bible, but, for the most part, have absolutely no desire to learn Hebrew so they can KNOW Torah, the SOURCE DOCUMENT. But then again, they do not bother to learn Greek either; the language with which their New Testament was first written. So, Christians remain in a self-imposed ignorance; all they can do is rely on English interpretations, translations and versions which have been altered over the past 1,700+ years.

In their “Old Testament” ― the Hebrew Bible ― Christians actually believe they are reading God’s words in English as God wanted. Unfortunately Christians only have man’s interpretation (and/or spin) of what God supposedly meant. AND, in so doing, have placed their souls on a man-made religion. Remember, there can only be one “Original Bible” – in HEBREW. All others are simply translations and versions at best. For example, when Christians read the prophets, such as Jeremiah or Isaiah, in their Christian bible, it is only a self-serving translation from Hebrew, edited or altered to include a Jesus spin.

Our Creator warned us about this!

Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD. (Jeremiah 17:5 (King James Version of the Hebrew Bible))

I wonder why the Christian pulpit never preaches this. Was not God warning us not to believe in a man? Was not Jesus a baby, child, man?

Regarding this warning the New International Version (NIV) Christian Study bible and the Christian Abingdon Bible commentary also refers this verse to Psalm 1 in which David wrote:

1 Blessed is the man

who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked

or stand in the way of sinners

or sit in the seat of mockers.

2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD,

and on his law he meditates day and night.

The reason why the Christian pulpit only picks and chooses certain verses in obvious; they have to save their weak invented religion.

In Psalms 1 above, verse 2 clearly says that he is blessed who follows God’s Laws; but wait – Christians do not follow God’s Laws! Christianity claims God made a mistake and meant to say ONLY follow God’s Grace. Oh really? Just where in God’s SOURCE DOCUMENT, the Hebrew Bible, does it say this? I’ll give you a hint; IT DOES NOT!

Again without having God’s original words available to them, Christians are continually mislead (spin) by their clergy, and have been for almost 2,000 years. Christians love to quote Jeremiah and the new covenant thinking that Jeremiah was talking about their New Testament. Since when does “covenant” mean “testament”?  It doesn’t!

Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah: (Jeremiah 31:31  (King James Version of the Hebrew Bible))

Again the Christian pulpit stops right here, never mentioning verses 33 and 34 that explains verse 31.

But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people. (Jeremiah 31:33 (King James Version of the Hebrew Bible))

You should now readily see why the Christian pulpit cannot mention verse 33 – God is once again is talking about His Laws, which Christians do not follow. And there is that pesky little word again “THEY.” Remember the lesson above? ― See Exodus 19:3.  But the clincher is in the very next verse; God very clearly says that when the Messiah comes, everyone will know God and therefore, no one would have to be taught.

And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more. (Jeremiah 31:34 (King James Version of the Hebrew Bible))

So, why did the altered NEW testament tell Jesus’ disciples to go out and missionize to the world? [See: MISSIONARIES: They do not know what they are doing ] This is just another proof that Jesus was neither God, son of God, nor the Messiah.

Keep in mind; the only Isaiah that Christians read is the altered Greek to English versions. Christians are too lazy to really find out what Isaiah wrote in Hebrew. But they take much pride in claiming that [their bastardized] Isaiah prophesied about Jesus. Isaiah, being a diligent sage/rabbi, told his students of his works, thoughts and prophecies. Those students, whom he talked with, those who sat with him asking questions and learning at his knee, became future rabbis. They knew what Isaiah was writing about and it has been passed on through the generations from rabbi to rabbi to this very day. And the Christian clergy, using their illegitimate bibles, have the chutzpah to say that Isaiah was wrong ― that he told of the dead man-god Jesus.

Our rabbis know and explain exactly what Isaiah meant when he wrote the 53rd chapter about the Jewish people who, throughout history, were God’s Suffering Servant.  Ask yourself “did the Jewish people suffer by the hands of the Christians?” Do the crusades, inquisitions, pogroms and “final solution” ring a bell?

A Christian could even find this out himself if he was not “Jesus intoxicated,” but used his head to think and not as a “hat rack.”

As someone once told me, “Not knowing Hebrew doesn't make you stupid. The stupid people are the ones who don't know Hebrew, but think they know the Hebrew Scriptures better than people who do.”

Oh, don’t forget, the “Ten Commandments” were not given to Christians.

 

FOOTNOTE:

1.  The Ten Statements are:

2. "I am the Lord, your God, Who took you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

3. You shall not have the gods of others in My presence.

4. You shall not make for yourself a graven image or any likeness which is in the heavens above, which is on the earth below, or which is in the water beneath the earth.

5. You shall neither prostrate yourself before them nor worship them, for I, the Lord, your God, am a zealous God, Who visits the iniquity of the fathers upon the sons, upon the third and the fourth generation of those who hate Me,

6. and [I] perform loving kindness to thousands [of generations], to those who love Me and to those who keep My commandments.

7. You shall not take the name of the Lord, your God, in vain, for the Lord will not hold blameless anyone who takes His name in vain.

8. Remember the Sabbath day to sanctify it.

9. Six days may you work and perform all your labor,

10. but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord, your God; you shall perform no labor, neither you, your son, your daughter, your manservant, your maidservant, your beast, nor your stranger who is in your cities.

11. For [in] six days the Lord made the heaven and the earth, the sea and all that is in them, and He rested on the seventh day. Therefore, the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and sanctified it.

12. Honor your father and your mother, in order that your days be lengthened on the land that the Lord, your God, is giving you.

13. You shall not murder. You shall not commit adultery. You shall not steal. You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.

14. You shall not covet your neighbor's house. You shall not covet your neighbor's wife, his manservant, his maidservant, his ox, his donkey, or whatever belongs to your neighbor."  (Exodus 20:2-14)

2.  “Exodus 12:38 “And a mixed multitude went up also with them…” These were people from the bottom of Egypt’s social strata who took the opportunity to escape from their fate (The Torah, A Modern Commentary, edited by W.G. Plaut, page 462). At Mt. Sinai ALL received the Torah and ALL became Jews.
