"Concerning the Khazar Jews, he gave me the name of Koester to read as a source to back up his theory. I checked Koester's book out of the library and found out two things that eliminated all reason to believe in his so-called research and bias. Number one, Koester was a member of the Communist party. Number two he stated that what he was writing was theory."
The book is called The Thirteenth Tribe, and it was written by the world renowned Jewish author and Israeli citizen, Arhtur Koestler.Anyone can verify what Mr. Koestler really said by simply reading his book. I do not endorse the book or use Mr. Koestler's book to establish Christian doctrine or truth. Mr. Koestler's research in some places confirms what God has already shown me from the Scriptures and history.
Jack has proven over and over that he has a low esteem for the virtue called truth. Mr. Koestler had been, (and not was as in the present), member of the Communist Party in his yourth. Mr. Koestler wrote The Thirteenth Tribe when he was approx. 70--probably something like 40 years after he abandoned political communism. Why does Jack want to pervert the truth about Mr. Koestler?
Jack has also proven he is a poor reader. Mr. Koestler's reviews the factual historical information about the Khazars conversion to Judaism in the ninth century. Khazaria was a large pagan kingdom in southern Russia before their conversion. In the ninth century, the King invited Rabbis to teach him Judaism. The King decided to convert and he consequently converted the whole nation of Khazaria. The newly converted Jewish Khazaria was subsequently conquered and absorbed into Russian. These are all solid historical facts that can easily be substantiated with a little historical research by any serious student of truth.
After these Khazar Jews were absorbed in the Soviet Union, they spread throughout Russia. Mr. Koestler and many historical writters believe and theorize that the Jewish population of both Poland and Germany came from an eastern migration rather than what was previously believed to be a migration from Western Europe. The research on blood types and fingerprints strongly supports the theory that German and Polish Jews are of Khazar ancestry mixed with Europeans.
This was the only theoretical part of the book. The theory had nothing to do with the established factual historical conversion of Khazaria to Talmudic Judaism.
Why would Jack want to spread lies and Zionist myths? Why does Jack love his "Jewish fables" and American myths more than he loves the truth and the Word of God? Why, Why, why.
The fact that modern Judaism does not represent the Temple Judaism of the Old Testament is established by a knowledge of Scripture combined with a supporting and accurate knowledge of history and ethnology.
Mr. Koestler and some ethnographers estimate that Khazar Jews make up approimately 90% of modern Judaism, and there is not historical or ethnological evidence to connect the Khazar Jews to the ancient Hebrews of the Bible. The remaining 10% of the Jews are a racial mixture of semitic (Arab), African-Ethiopian, and western European. Speaking racially, modern Judaism has black Jews, some Oreintal Jews, some Indian Jews, some Nordic Jews, etc. etc.
They are definitely not a race that is descended from Abraham but a religion.
It is not the ethnicity of modern Judaism that is the problem, but modern Judaism's rejection of Jesus as the Messiah and saviour. The central teaching of Modern Judaism is the rejection of Jesus as the Son of God who died for the sins of mankind.
Modern Judaism engrains in the Jewish psyche that you cannot be a Jew and be a Christian at the same time.
Jesus died for the sins of all men. Jesus loves the Khazars and every other ethnic group.
Lord, we ask you raise prophets in modern Judaism that will turn to Jesus and help free the Jewish people from the darkness and death of rejecting Jesus and bring those who have hearts for truth to the light of your Son. |
