My first day here has been pleasant. Seems like a nice place to roost for a bit.
Why Christians Need Rabbis
I am a Hassidic Jew. I am also by choice an unordained Rabbi. By nature I like to get to the root of matters when studying things... which is why I spent almost 7 years at a Rabbi college in
Jerusalem in my early thirties.
For 2,000 years appoximately Christians have been educated to believe that Jesus was Judaism's 1) God in the flesh and/or 2) son of God and/or 3) Messiah.
For 2,000 years Rabbis have publicly disagreed stating that such beliefs have no basis in the Torah, the 5 Books of Moses as well as the Talmud and Rabbinic literature.
Woven into Christianity is the demonization of Rabbis (Pharisees).
Any revolution requires the demonization of the prior authorities.
In this case however that demonization has denied good Christians even the possibility of examining Sacred Jewish writings which have a major bearing on the axioms of Christianity.
For example...when I went to Jerusalem the first question I asked my mentors was "Why did the Rabbis reject Jesus as Judaism's Messiah?" Is that not a fair and honest question? Is that not a question any and every Christian should ask if for no other purpose than intellectual honesty?
Instead of an open debate about that valid question the Church avoided any such honest inquiry via demonization of the Rabbis. That alone would have raised a red flag were I born a Christian. But Christians accept that slanderous misportrayal as "Gospel."
All matters of avoiding or misportraying truth have their price tag.
To kick this off I give you this link below to paruse at your leisure. Enjoy and let the questions, comments or rebuttals flow freely. I am not easily offended.
