Central elements of the modern Jewish heritage that have to be rejected when a modern Jew accepts Jesus as his Lord and Saviour. Central teachings in modern Rabbinical formation:. The following quotes are taken from Rachmiel Frydland's book When Being Jewish was a Crime He gives an intimate description of the educational formation of young Jews in the yeshiva and Rabbinical schools. Although Rachmiel tries to maintain a loving, sensitive objective stance towards the overall teachings of modern Judaism but because of his love for Christ and the salvation of his people, he boldly exposes modern Judaism's Babylonian Talmudic foundation as well as modern Judaism profound hatred and rejection of Jesus. It is important to remember that every young Jew who has gone through Yeshiva training and Rabbinical formation have been indoctrinated into a rejection and hatred of Christ Less than. 10% of young Jews attend yeshiva worldwide ,and, thank God, do not receive the Talmudic view of Jesus. Ch 5, page 51: "In these early years I had few contacts of any sort with Christianity. At about this time I learned the stories Of jesus from the Jewish point of view. They are given in the infamous book of legens composed in the Middle ages and entitled Toledot Yeshu (The History of Jesus). Some of the material is already embodied in the Talmud: that Jesus was born an illegitimate child and He forced Mary His mother to admit it; how He learned sorcery in Egypt; how He made Himself fly up into the sky by sewing the ineffable name of Jehovah into the skin of his leg, but a famous rabbi did the same and brought Jesus down." Page 34 "The method of education in the yeshiva differed little from the previous schools, but we had longer hours of study..... The studies were now only talmudic. The teachers recited the lecture in the Mishna(the traditions) and the Gemara(the commentaries) the two parts of the Babylonian Talmud....We repeated and discussed the lecture after the teaccher, and then we studied more of the Talmud by ourselves. Thus in the yeshiva, the Talmud reigned supreme. The Old Testament Bible could be used only for reference". P. 34,35 "I had not contacts with Christianity at all. On the way to school we passed a Roman Catholic church and a Russian Orthodox church, and we spat,, pronouncing the words found in deuteronomy 7:26, "thou shalt utterly dtest it, and thou shalt utterly abhor it; for it is a cursed thing." I said it halfheartedly because of my previous favorable contact with Christianity and because some questions were beginning to creep into my mind. Why should we say such horrible words? The people looked so pious, and they never bothered us. ? "As I continued studying the Talmud, I came to a passage that told of a cruel punishment for that Sinner of Israel, meaning Jesus. For one sin of deriding the rabbis, He was punished forever and ever with cruelty as to be "judged in boiling excrement." I did not like this story at all. Did it really mean what it said? did not I also have doubts about the rabbis' claims (talmudic claims) that their teachings were given to Moses on Mount Sinai? What then would my punishment be? It was many years before I dared to proclaim these doubts openly." ---------------------------------------------------------------------- T Thank God for liberating Rachmiel Frydland from this religious cult of darkness and death into the life and light of Jesus Christ. Lord, we pray for the thusands of Jewish people around the world who, even as we speak , are being lead, by this religion of darkness and death, into the path of eternal damnation by rejecting Jesus Christ as their Lord and Messiah. Send Prophets who love not their lives unto death to uncover this evil and liberate these precious people from this Auschwitz of the soul . Lord, we need men and women who will not bend to the pressures of satan and the world. We need those who will love you and the souls of men more than their public reputation. We need saints who will proclaim truth with boldness, so that those with sincere hearts among the Jewish people and among all people can be lead to the saving light of Christ and away from the death and darkness of christless future.. Let our lives be given for your Kingdom. (edited for Mark's sake) Help us to overcome by the Blood of your Lamb, the word of our testimony and not loving our lives unto death. Come Lord Jesus ------------------------------------------------- Steve, I would appreciate a short comment on this part of modern Jewish heritage.
