What Are the Differences Between the Messianic Judaism and Christianity? And Why I Want No Connection With Them
By K. Dwayne James
Christianity came about as result of the Protestant Reformation. The Reformation began on October 31, 1517, when German monk Saint Martin Luther nailed his 95 Theses to the Castle Church door in Wittenberg, Germany.
Like Catholicism, Protestant Christianity bears no resemblance to ancient biblical Judaism as practiced by the apostles. (This statement of fact should not be interpreted as an attack on the character of God-fearing, Spirit-filled believers in Christ Jesus who follow Him to the best of their ability. Unfortunately, these victims of deception were indoctrinated by Pastors who in like manner were taught false doctrine by the imposter of Christ described in Revelation chapter 17. This is the same perversely wicked religious system will be destroyed at the coming of Yeshua Messiah. *Revelation 17:1).
-
Fact: Roman Catholicism is a diabolical, anti-Semitic (Jew hating) religious system. According to Revelation 13:2-4, it is a creation from the heart of Satan himself. (also see; Revelation 17:5)
-
Fact: The early Roman political and religious system intentionally persecuted, tortured and killed multiplied thousands of Jewish followers of Messiah. Followers of Christ were mercilessly slaughtered because of their refusal to worship the Roman emperor. (Revelation 12:17, Revelation 17:6) Visit your encyclopedia and study;
i. The First Jewish Revolt of 66 A.D.
ii. The Second Jewish Revolt of 135 A.D.
iii. The Crusades of 1096 A.D. which lasted several hundred years.
iv. The Medieval Inquisition of 1,184 A.D. to 1,230 A.D.
v. Holy War against the Jews, 1,391 A.D.
vi. The Papal Inquisition and Slavery: From 1,250 A.D. through 1,530 A.D., there were military campaigns led by Rome in which millions of Jews were slaughtered. The Roman Catholic church carried out these evil merciless acts in the Name of Christ Jesus. As our Lord declared, ‘many would come in his name and deceive many…’ Truly, His words were fulfilled.
-
Fact: Orthodox Christianity, is no less evil in doctrine, belief and practice. Mainstream Christianity supported the practice of slavery in North America.
-
The eighteenth century Anglican Church made their opinions public and very clear in stating that Christianity freed people from eternal damnation, but not from the bonds of slavery. At that time a Bishop of London, Edmund Gibson, wrote: “The Freedom which Christianity gives, is a Freedom from the Bondage of Sin and Satan, and from the Domination of Men's Lusts and Passions and inordinate Desires; but as to their outward Condition, whatever that was before, whether bond or free, their being baptised, and becoming Christians, makes no manner of Change in it.”
Fact: The Southern Baptist Convention, the largest Protestant Christian body in North America, with over 16 million members, was a strong supporter of slavery.
-
As documented in their own historical records, many Baptist preachers wanted to preserve the rights of ministers to own slaves.
-
A survey by SBC's Home Mission Board in 1968 showed that only eleven (11%) percent of Southern Baptist churches would admit Americans of African descent. As a result, Black American pastors had no choice but to develop their own church organizations.
The New Covenant refers to these wicked religious institutions by several names, ‘Mystery Babylon, the Great Whore and the Mother of Harlots’. (Revelation 17:1-9)
The Roman Catholic Church is the wicked beast spoken of in Revelation chapter 13 because scripture identifies the specific geographic location of her dwelling place as ‘sitting on the seven mountains of Rome’. Did you know that Rome is the only major city in the world 'sitting on seven hills?
Fact: Early Protestant Reformers such as Martin Luther and John Calvin were also anti-Semitic (haters of Jews) and did not respect Torah in the same manner as was customary in Jewish tradition.
Fact: Christianity is the invention of the Roman emperor Constantine (274 A.D. – 337 A.D.) Rome had no love for the Jewish people and no reverence for Torah.
2. Mainstream Christianity does not honor or celebrate the Sabbath as was customary of Jewish and Gentile followers of Messiah 2,000 years ago.
-
a. There is a religious beast with ‘two horns like a lamb’ as described in Revelation 13:11.
-
b. Protestant scholars and the Seventh Day Adventist Church both agree that one horn is Roman Catholicism. But, there is great reluctance to admit that the second horn is Protestant Christianity. To do so is to acknowledge that they are in allegiance to an ungodly religious system. This is spiritual adultery which is forbidden in Torah.
3. Christianity does not honor or celebrate the God ordained feasts and festivals of the Lord as was the custom of Jewish and Gentile believers in Christ of 2,000 years ago. This is willful rebellion again the Law of God.
4. Mainstream Christianity has embraced and participates in far too many pagan practices that are demonic in origin. Christmas, Eastern, the false Sabbath day, etc. All of this idolatry and spiritual whoredom. It is strictly forbidden in Torah (Deuteronomy 13).
5. Christianity does not recognize or accept the sacred Hebrew writings such as;
-
a. The Mishnah, which is the first written transcription of the Oral Torah as delivered by Moses. There is the written Torah and the Oral explanation.
b. Talmudic Literature, which includes the Jerusalem and Babylonian Talmud. These are a collection of Rabbinic notes and commentary on the Oral Torah.
c. The Jerusalem and Babylonian Talmud*, Targumim, Zohar, Kabballah, Tosefta), and has no desire to recognize these works.
6. Christianity rejects the Talmud (the Oral Law) outright, not realizing that without a basic understanding of some things in the Talmud, the ‘Old and New Covenant’ cannot be properly understood.
