“STAY FAR AWAY!”
John Stone
Recently
I posted an article to Truth-of-Judaism Group [Chofetz
Chaim: Lessons
in Truth] which discussed the first statement of Exodus 23:7:”Distance yourself from a false word;”
(STONE Edition Chumash)
“Distance yourself from a false word”
The
commentary states:
Distance
yourself! Regarding no other transgression does the Torah say that one should
distance himself. So much does God abhor falsehood that we are
commanded to stay far away from even the appearance of a lie (R' burnam of P'shis'cha)
So,
where am I going with this? What bigger falsehood is there than the fiction
called Christianity?
Christians
are a “unique bunch, not unlike alcoholics, for they are so Jesus intoxicated
they have stopped using a great deal of what intellect and reasoning abilities
they were given by their Creator. They are like a drunk who is pulled over by a
cop. The cop tells the drunk to get out of the car and the drunk replies, “I
can't, why don't you sit down here beside me.”
Christians
have taken leave of their thought process and replaced it entirely with a “good
feeling” in their “burning bosoms” as the Mormons call it. Christianity and
Jesus is driven by pure emotion ― anything but
an honest thought process. Christianity is like a house of cards or a vampire;
one puff of wind or the light of day destroys their fiction ― jesus and the new testament.
When
growing up, we were taught by our parents and teachers to think; to learn our
multiplication tables; to solve written math problems; to diagram sentences:
conjugate verbs, etc. But somehow this process of learning is suddenly thrown
out of the window ― discarded ― when susceptible individuals are
exposed to a fictitious Jewish dead man-god, a “cheap saving grace,” heaven and
the devil.! Wow, “just believe” and all of a sudden you
do not have to worry about the Christian devil, pitchforks, hellfire, lakes of
fire and eternal damnation. “Yahoo, I’m saved” yell the Christians; so happy
they will again see their grandfather and Aunt Millie in heaven. One thing is
greatly amiss ― the fly in the Christian ointment. G-d was mysteriously
left out of the entire equation ― replaced by a new and improved “son-of-god (who is also god or not if
you are a Mormon)! But wait, there is more, the Christian now embraces
another fictitious character ― a pure Christian invention ― the
devil, who is a “koach bifnei atzmo,” an independent power that battles
against God.
As have
said before, Christianity's essence ― its core, its whole ― is
still about ONE THING, and one thing only – a dead ”man-god” who:
Crawled out from a womb;
Cried for food;
Suckled teats;
Sprayed Mary & Joseph with yellow “holy water;”
Crapped his pants;
Had to learn how to walk and run;
Had to be taught to read and write;
Grew up; and
Died!
This is
the essence of the Christian fiction recorded in the Christian bible
― all else is merely commentary! Would anyone who was not Jesus or new testament intoxicated embrace this character with their
eternity at stake? NO!
G-d
admonished us twice to NOT add or subtract from His Torah. He has told us over
and over and over that He is unique, one and only and not a man. Torah tells us
that a human sacrifice is abhorred. God’s Torah contains the guidelines for all
mankind, Jew (613) and Gentile/Noachide (7). When our Creator says eternal and
forever ― it is simple ― ETERNAL
IS ETERNAL and FOREVER IS FOREVER.
God does not lie; man does!
·
Only
a drunk could be mentally deficient enough to think otherwise. And in so
doing, (s)he is, in essence, spitting in the eye of
G-d.
·
Only
a drunk could let the tail wag the dog -- the new testament
overrule Torah!
·
Only
a drunk would let unknown authors writing at unknown times
― being edited over and over and over by unknown copyists and editors ―
overrule G-d's own Torah which was given to a witnessing audience of over two
million adults at the foot of
·
Only
a drunk would refuse to return to using his head for something beside a hat
rack, by thinking independently and starting at the beginning.
·
Only
a drunk could think they know the Hebrew scriptures better than people who do
know Hebrew.
So what
is a Jesus/new testament drunkard to do? Put down that intoxicating bible and
stop drinking downstream from the herd. Start with what God’s Torah states.
Learn it from one who knows Torah and its language -- a Local Orthodox Rabbi (LOR).
As someone wrote, addressing this very thing:
The
Torah teaches us to “not follow after your heart and your eyes which will
lead you astray.” How can we understand this teaching? What then should we “follow
after?”
A. Life
abounds with things that are visually and emotionally appealing yet that are
really quite harmful to our well being. Our eyes (and other senses) and our
hearts (our emotions) can easily fool us. This is why it is wise to depend on
the mind ― rather than on the eyes or heart. The mind is a calm and cool
judge that can help us decide whether something is truly worthy of “following
after” or not. It is also the intellect which often allows us to perceive
someone's inner beauty, which the heart and eyes are likely to miss.
I am “anti
Christian” ― I hate “Christianity;”
not Christians
mind you, but Christianity. Individual Christians are considered a
Tinok ShNishba ― a babe who was captured by the idolaters.
G-d is
anti Christian! He hates Christianity so much that He made it a
capital sin. 1
It is a Mitzvah ― a religious
obligation ― to speak about idolatry in hateful derogatory terms. It is also a
commandment to disparage the perpetrators of idolatry; in this case the
Christian clergy, apologists, missionaries and “member” missionaries on their
own personal mission to save us from their devil and hellfire. Now you know to”Distance yourself from a false word.”
HOWEVER,
being “anti Christian” is not the same as Anti-Semitism since I do not hate
the PEOPLE. I consider them “victims” of
this evil scourge.
Nor God does not hate these people. That is why He made the present time one without the Sanhedrin (High Jewish Court) so that the Death Penalty would be suspended
and PEOPLE would have a chance to learn and come back to the True Religion of
Torah.
Now you know to “Distance
yourself from a false word.”
Footnote:
1. Deuteronomy (Devarim) Chapter 13
(STONE Edition Chumash)
1. The entire word that I command you, that
shall you observe to do; you shall not add to it and you shall not subtract
from it:
2. If there should stand up in your midst a
prophet or a dreamer of a dream, and he will produce to you a sign or a wonder:
3. and the sign or
the wonder comes about, of which he spoke to you, saying, "Let us follow
gods of others that you did not know and we shall worship them!":
4. do not hearken to
the words of that prophet or to that dreamer of a dream, for Hashem, your God,
is testing you to know whether you love Hashem, your God, with all your heart
and with all your soul:
5. Hashem, your God, shall you follow and Him
shall you fear; His commandments shall you observe and to His voice shall you
hearken; Him shall you serve and to Him shall you cleave:
6. And that prophet and that dreamer of a
dream shall be put to death, for he had spoken perversion against Hashem, your
God, Who takes you out of the land of Egypt, and Who redeems you from the house
of slavery, to make you stray from the path on which Hashem, your God, has
commanded you to go; and you shall destroy the evil from your midst:
7. If your brother, the son of your mother,
or your son or your daughter, or the wife of your bosom, or your friend who is
like your own soul will entice you secretly, saying, "Let us go and
worship the gods of others" -- that you did not know, you nor your
forefathers:
8. from the gods of the peoples that are all
around you, those near to you or those far from you, from one end of the earth
to the other end of the earth:
9. you shall not
accede to him and not hearken to him; your eye shall not take pity on him, you
shall not be compassionate nor conceal him:
10. Rather, you shall surely kill him; your
hand shall be the first against him to kill him, and the hand of the entire
people afterwards:
11. You shall pelt him with stones and he
shall die, for he sought to make you stray from near Hashem, your God, Who
takes you out of
12. All
13. If, in one of your cities that Hashem,
your God, gives you in which to dwell, you hear, saying:
14. "Lawless men have emerged from your
midst, and they have caused the dwellers of their city to go astray, saying,
'Let us go and worship the gods of others, that you have not known' ":
15. you shall seek
out and investigate, and inquire well, and behold! it
is true, the word is correct, this abomination was committed in your midst:
16. You shall smite the inhabitants of that
city with the edge of the sword; lay it waste and everything that is in it, and
its animals, with the edge of the sword:
17. You shall gather together all its booty
to the midst of its open square, and you shall burn in fire completely the city
and all its booty to Hashem, your God, and it shall be an eternal heap, it
shall not be rebuilt:
18. No part of the banned property may adhere
to your hand, so that Hashem will turn back from His burning wrath; and He will
give you mercy and be merciful to you and multiply you, as He swore to your
forefathers:
19. when you hearken
to the voice of Hashem, your God, to observe all His commandments that I
command you today, to do what is right in the eyes of Hashem, your God:
