From an article, I wrote a couple of year ago...
Interestingly enough, Islam is much closer to Christianity than Judaism. For instance, Judaism condemns the Virgin Mary as a prostitute and viciously condemns Jesus an evil sorcerer and a bastard. The Talmud even claims Jesus was a sexual pervert who had intercourse relations with his donkey. In stark contrast, although Islam certainly does not share all the Christian views of Jesus Christ, it views Christ as a true prophet of God, virgin-born, and that God resurrected Jesus to Heaven, where he will return to destroy the anti-Christ. Ironically, the chief religious book of Islam, the Qur'an, actually defends Jesus Christ from the obscene slanders made against Him in the Jewish Talmud.
I know that I am shocking many of you who are hearing this for the first time. I am sure some of you are thinking that this cannot be true! I don't blame you for thinking so because many of you have never been told of these facts by the Jewish-dominated media or by the televangelists. So, I will document these things for you right now in the little space I have here.
The Talmud not the Torah (Bible) is the chief authority of Judaism.
Most Christians are under the impression that Judaism is primarily based on the biblical Old Testament. Actually, the ultimate authority for Judaism is not the Bible but on what they call the Babylonian Talmud, a series of writings set down in Babylon in the sixth century after Christ. The American Heritage Dictionary describes the Talmud as "constituting the basis of religious authority for traditional Judaism." The authoritative Universal Jewish Encyclopedia compiled by the leading Rabbinic organizations of the world, makes it very clear that the Talmud, not the Torah or Old Testament, is the supreme authority for Judaism. Thus, the ultimate authority for Orthodoxy is the Babylonian Talmud. The Bible itself ranks second to it in reality, if not in theory. (Universal Jewish Encyclopedia, "Authority," pg. 637)2
What does the Talmud, the chief authority of Judaism, have to say about Jesus Christ?
?Balaam [Jesus] fornicated with his jackass. (Sanhedrin 105a-b)3?
?Jewish priests raised Balaam [Jesus] from the dead and punished him in boiling hot semen. (57a Gittin)4?
?She who was the descendant of princes and governors [The Virgin Mary] played the harlot with a carpenter. (Sanhedrin 106a) [Jesus] was lowered into a pit of dung up to his armpits. Then a hard cloth was placed within a soft one, wound round his neck, and the two ends pulled in opposite directions until he was dead. (Sanhedrin 52b) 5?
Now obviously, I am not saying that all Jews share this hateful attitude toward Jesus Christ, but the official position of Judaism is defined by the quotations I just read. Obviously, it is important that Jewish groups don't let Christians know the truth about the hateful Judaic attitude toward Jesus Christ. Some Jews seek to deflect Christian criticism by saying that Balaam was not the name that Jews used to denote Christ. Yet, no less a major authority than the Jewish Encyclopedia, an encyclopedia compiled by the leading rabbinic organizations in the world, says that Balaam is the name they use to denote Jesus Christ. Under the heading "Balaam," it says, "?the pseudonym 'Balaam' given to Jesus in Sanhedrin 106b and Gittin 57a."6 Such use of deceptive terms such as "Balaam" was a common practice in the middle ages as Jews tried to disguise their anti-Jesus and anti-Christian hatred from Gentiles who might dare to pry into the Talmud.
Now some Christians might think that these are simply old beliefs of the Jewish religion, and that Judaism might have softened its attitudes toward Jesus Christ and Christians. In fact, these are the formal policies of the Israeli state. In fact, In Jewish schools in Israel it is forbidden to even read from the New Testament gospels or even mention the name of Jesus Christ. It is even a criminal offense in Israel for a Christian to preach the salvation of Jesus Christ to a Jew. Israel so hates the Christian cross that they have specified that elementary schools use a "T" instead of a plus sign because it so resembles the hated Christian cross! The Israeli government has even supported public burnings of the New Testament!
One of the Jews I have most respected, the man to whom I dedicated my book, Jewish Supremacism, is the late Dr. Israel Shahak. He was a holocaust survivor and professor at Hebrew University in Jerusalem. Professor Shahak reported that the Zionists publicly and ceremoniously burned hundreds of copies of the New Testament in Jerusalem on March 23, 1980. They were destroyed under the auspices of Yad Le'akhim, a Jewish religious organization subsidized by the Israeli Ministry of Religions.
Judaism is imbued with a very deep hatred toward Christianity and Islam combined with ignorance about it?
According to the Talmud, Jesus was executed by a proper rabbinical court for idolatry, inciting other Jews to idolatry, and contempt of rabbinical authority. All classical Jewish sources that mention his execution are quite happy to take responsibility for it; in the Talmudic account, the Romans are not even mentioned. . .
The very name Jesus was for Jews a symbol of all that is abominable, and this popular tradition persists. The Gospels are equally detested, and they are not allowed to be quoted (let alone taught) even in modern Israeli schools. 8
To think that this is the same anti-Christian, Israeli government that some Christian ministers wants us to support with American tax dollars! Dr. Shahak also exposes the vicious hatred against Christians taught to Jewish Children in Israel:
Jewish children are actually taught - passages such as that which commands every Jew, whenever passing near a cemetery, to utter a blessing if it is Jewish, but to curse the mothers of the dead if it is non-Jewish. . . it became customary to spit (usually three times) upon seeing a church or a crucifix ...9
Imagine for a moment if Christians were taught that when they pass Jewish cemeteries they should "curse the mothers of the dead" and that they should spit three times when seeing a synagogue or a Star of David. Would not the media react to that kind of vicious hatred with outrage? Evangelical leaders such as Falwell would forcefully condemn Christians who would utter such vile curses against Jews, but why don't they dare condemn the hatred of Jews who utter vile curses against Christians.
Not only does Israel act against Christianity, so does every major organized Jewish group in the United States. The American Jewish Committee, the ADL (Anti-Defamation League of B'nai Birth) and a host of other Jewish organizations in America have been at the forefront destroying Christian traditions in the United States. They have led the fight, to not only ban simple prayers in school, but also even to prohibit Christmas carols to be sung in schools or in any public facility. They have been the leaders of the movement for legalized abortion, something that every evangelical opposes.
They have been at the forefront of the cultural war that Jewish Hollywood has waged against Christian tradition, belief and ethics. Jews also led early Bolshevism in Russia, which were the greatest suppresser and mass murderer of Christians in the history of the world. The Jewish Bolsheviks murdered millions of Christians. Now, some evangelical leaders such as Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson are urging Christians to financially support Israel and the Jewish supremacist establishment around the world, by far the most powerful enemy of Jesus Christ on the planet.
I would have never thought in a billion years that Islam and the "original" revelation of Christianity were the same message of God, and that the Moslems should be our true allies for peace.
We constantly hear how the biggest enemy of Christianity and America are Moslems. The truth is that although Moslems do not share all Christian beliefs, Islam is far closer to Christianity than Judaism. I already quoted the obscene attacks made on Jesus Christ by the Jewish Talmud. How many American Christians even realize that the Holy Qur'an of Islam actually defends Jesus Christ and His mother Mary from the hateful slanders of Judaism? As I pointed out earlier, the Talmud claims that the Gospels lie about the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. The Talmud actually boasts that the Jews and not the Romans were the ones who actually nailed Jesus to the Cross. These Talmudic Jews hate Jesus so much that they want to take all the credit for his murder. Amazingly, the Islamic holy book, the Qur'an disputes this Jewish lie and actually defends the truth of the gospel. They (Jews) have incurred divine displeasure: in that, they broke the covenant? And little is it they believe. That they rejected faith and they uttered against Mary a grave false charge? That they said (in boast) "we killed Christ Jesus, the son of Mary, the messenger of Allah- but they killed him not, nor crucified him. But so it was made to appear to them, and those who differ therein are full of doubts? (Sura 4 AlNisa 153- 159)
If you are an evangelical Christian, do you still need more proof of the anti-Christian evil of Israel? A perfect example can be found in one of the evil tactics that Israel uses to destroy Palestinian resistance. The French Press Agency (AFP), much like AP in the United States, of March 2, 2002, had a report on the Israeli occupation of Ramallah last year. I quote:
In the recent Israeli occupation of the Palestinian town Ramallah, the army took over three of the four television stations. In control of the three stations, Al-Watan, Ammwaj, and Al-Sharaq channels. The Israelis began broadcasting hard-core pornography into the Palestinian homes beginning about 3:30 pm in the first day of their occupation. The reaction of the devoutly religious Palestinians, both Christian and Moslem, to the Israeli pornography been pointed. The article quotes a some of the Palestinians on this latest Israeli outrage, I quote:
Anita, a 52-year-old mother of three children, complained about "the deliberate psychological damage caused by these broadcasts.?
"I am furious, these are the people who are shooting at us that also play this disgusting trick on us," she said.
Yes, the supposedly moral, upstanding nation of Israel that some Christian televangelist leaders support, is broadcasting hardcore pornography as part of their war to destroy the Palestinian people. Next time a Christian minister says we should support Israel; ask him if we should send our money to Israel so that it can broadcast hardcore pornography to Palestinian Christian and Moslem children.
You always hear from those ministers who support anti-Christian Israel two things: (1) that the Jews of today are the "chosen people of God" and have a covenant with God that we must respect, and: (2) that the Bible says that, "I will bless thee that blesses you and curse thee that curses you." As I showed earlier, clear New Testament scripture quotes Jesus as saying that the Jews, "whose fathers were led out of the land of Egypt" had "no longer, continued in God's covenant saith The Lord."
The coming of Jesus Christ made a new covenant for those Israelites and for all people who accepted the salvation of Christ. Belief in Jesus Christ is the one and only requirement to join the New Covenant. Those who don't accept Jesus Christ are clearly not in this New Covenant. Those who embrace Judaism, a religion that hates and rejects Jesus Christ are certainly not in this New Covenant. Those who believe in Jesus Christ have become the Chosen of God, the elect, regardless of ethnic descent. By Christian principle, those that hate Jesus Christ are obviously in the service of Satan and not God and His son and are certainly not in the Covenant. Christ himself describes them as "the Synagogue of Satan."
