ISAIAH WARNS AGAINST CHRISTIANITY
John Stone
Christian
missionaries try to support their theology by supposedly quoting
the Hebrew Bible (Tanakh). In this analysis, real quotes from
the Tanakh turn the tables and debunk Christianity. Passages from
the prophet Isaiah in the Tanakh and associated references from Torah are
compared with passages in the so called New Testament (Christian Bible)
Isaiah (Yeshayahu) ,
in Chapter 24 warns of coming chaos:
·
24:1 Behold
the Lord empties the land and lays it waste, and He
shall turn over its face and scatter its inhabitants. 2. And it shall be, as
with the people, so with the priest, as with the slave, so with his master, as
with the maidservant, so with her mistress, as with the buyer, so with the
seller, as with the lender, so with the borrower, as with the creditor, so with
the one who owes him. 3. The land shall be emptied and it shall be pillaged,
for the Lord has spoken this thing. 4. The land has mourned, it has withered,
the land has been humbled and withered, the highest of
the people of the land have been humbled.
Then
he says WHY this will happen:
·
24:5 And the land has
deceived because of its inhabitants, for they
transgressed instructions, infracted
statutes, broke the everlasting
covenant. 6. Therefore,
an oath has consumed the land, and the inhabitants thereof were
wasted; ...
The
so called New Testament advocates all three of these things; that people
transgress the laws, change the ordinance and break the everlasting
covenants. So, let us now examine these very problems, using the Christian
Bible!
Before
we proceed, let's take a look at the Christians bible. It is supposedly
from their god, inspired by their holy ghost; the authors are unknown and when
written no one knows, but to Christianity that does not matter. Why not you
ask? Because the only glue that holds the Christian religion (Pauline
Christology) together is not facts, not history, not God's Torah, but " blind faith." In other words,
simply an intoxication with their dead man-god, Jesus.
1. Transgressing the Law:
·
"Christ hath redeemed us from the
curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written,
Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree" (Galatians
3:13 King James Version)
·
Wherefore the law was
our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be
justified by faith. But after that faith is come, we
are no longer under a schoolmaster. (Galatians
3:24-25)
·
But now we are delivered
from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should
serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter. (Romans
7:6)
·
But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye
are not under the law. (Galatians 5:18)
·
For the priesthood being changed, there
is made of necessity a change also of the law. (Hebrews
7:12)
·
For the promise, that he should be the heir of the
world, was not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the
righteousness of faith. For if they which are of the law be heirs, faith is
made void, and the promise made of none effect: Because
the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is
no transgression. Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by
grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only
which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is
the father of us all, (Romans 4:13 -16)
2. Changing the Ordinances:
·
Having abolished in his flesh the enmity,
even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make
in himself of twain one new man, so making peace; (Ephesians 2:15)
·
Blotting out the handwriting of
ordinances that was against us, ...
(Colossians 2:14)
·
Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the
rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are
ye subject to ordinances, (Colossians
2:20)
3. Breaking the Everlasting Covenant, i.e. the
Sabbath, the Brit Milah or the everlasting
priesthood.
1. Sabbath -- as specified in:
Thus shall the children of
Each and every Sabbath day, he shall set it up before the Lord [to be
there] continuously, from the children of
And He set it up for Jacob as a statute, to
Christianity
repudiates God's commandments by establishing a "new" Sabbath on the
first day; the so-called "Lord's Day" (see Acts 20:7 and
Revelation 1:10). This unmitigated arrogance clearly ignores God's
command that the Sabbath is for the Jews, the Children of Israel, ONLY.
The Sabbath is not for Gentiles!
2. Brit
melah -- as specified in:
This is My covenant, which you
shall observe between Me and between you and between your seed after you, that
every male among you be circumcised. And you
shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin, and it
shall be as the sign of a covenant between Me and
between you. (Genesis 17:10-11)
Those born in the house and those purchased for
money shall be circumcised, and My covenant
shall be in your flesh as an everlasting covenant. And an
uncircumcised male, who will not circumcise the flesh of his
foreskin-that soul will be cut off from its people; he has
broken My covenant. (Genesis
17:13-14)
Behold, I
Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing. (Galatians
5:2)
3. Everlasting
priesthood -- as specified in:
It shall be for him and for his
descendants after him [as] an
eternal covenant of kehunah, because
he was zealous for his God and atoned for the children of
But,
as we have seen time and time again, eternity and God's word mean absolutely to
the unknown Christian writers. They again go against God.
For the priesthood being changed, there is
made of necessity a change also of the law. (Hebrews 7:12 )
What
this all means, according to Christian theology, is that God's words given over
3,316 years ago do not matter. What matters to Christianity is what some
unknown people wrote at unknown times, later edited and changed by the early
church fathers. Your Creator's eternal promises to the children of
What
have you now learned? Has not Christianity done precisely what Isaiah
warned us about so very long ago?
As
I continually remind people, "As G-d created our minds, He expects us to
use our reasoning together with our faith. Faith is not a substitute for
reason, but a development from it and alongside it." Use your head,
think. "Brains to the lazy are like a torch to the
blind." (Bechinas Ha'Olam, a Torah commentary).
A
final word of wisdom from the real Bible, the Hebrew Bible -- a
prophetic warning from Jeremiah:
O Lord, Who are my power and my strength and my refuge in the day
of trouble, to You nations will come from the ends of the earth and
say, "Only lies have
our fathers handed down to us, emptiness in which there is nothing of any
avail! (Jeremiah (Yirmiyahu) 16:19)
We
report, you decide!
Footnotes"
1. And I will make you into a great
nation, and I will bless you, and I will aggrandize your name, and [you shall] be
a blessing. 3. And I will bless those who bless you, and the one who curses you
I will curse, and all the families of the earth shall be blessed in you."
(Genesis (Bereishit) 12:2-3)
