Introduction

The Talmud is Judaism's holiest book (actually a collection of books). Its authority takes precedence over the Old Testament in Judaism. Evidence of this may be found in the Talmud itself, Erubin 21b (Soncino edition): "My son, be more careful in the observance of the words of the Scribes than in the words of the Torah (Old Testament)."

The supremacy of the Talmud over the Bible in the Israeli state may also be seen in the case of the black Ethiopian Jews. Ethiopians are very knowledgeable of the Old Testament. However, their religion is so ancient it pre-dates the Scribes' Talmud, of which the Ethiopians have no knowledge. According to the N.Y. Times of Sept. 29, 1992, p.4:

"The problem is that Ethiopian Jewish tradition goes no further than the Bible or Torah; the later Talmud and other commentaries that form the basis of modern traditions never came their way."

Because they are not traffickers in Talmudic tradition, the black Ethiopian Jews are discriminated against and have been forbidden by the Zionists to perform marriages, funerals and other services in the Israeli state.

Rabbi Joseph D. Soloveitchik is regarded as one of the most influential rabbis of the 20th century, the "unchallenged leader" of Orthodox Judaism and the top international authority on halakha (Jewish religious law). Soloveitchik was responsible for instructing and ordaining more than 2,000 rabbis, "an entire generation" of Jewish leadership.

N.Y. Times religion reporter Ari Goldman described the basis of the rabbi's authority:

"Soloveitchik came from a long line of distinguished Talmudic scholars...Until his early 20s, he devoted himself almost exclusively to the study of the Talmud...He came to Yeshiva University's Elchanan Theological Seminary where he remained the pre-eminent teacher in the Talmud...He held the title of Leib Merkin professor of Talmud...sitting with his feet crossed in front of a table bearing an open volume of the Talmud." (N.Y. Times, April 10, 1993, p. 38).

Nowhere does Goldman refer to Soloveitchik's knowledge of the Bible as the basis for being one of the leading authorities on Jewish law.

The rabbi's credentials are all predicated upon his mastery of the Talmud. Other studies are clearly secondary. Britain's Jewish Chronicle of March 26, 1993 states that in religious school (yeshiva), Jews are "devoted to the Talmud to the exclusion of everything else."

The Talmud Nullifies the Bible

The Jewish Scribes claim the Talmud is partly a collection of traditions Moses gave them in oral form. These had not yet been written down in Jesus' time. Christ condemned the traditions of the Mishnah (early Talmud) and those who taught it (Scribes and Pharisees), because the Talmud nullifies the teachings of the Holy Bible.

Shmuel Safrai in The Literature of the Sages Part One (p.164), points out that in chapters 4 and 5 of the Talmud's Gittin Tractate, the Talmud nullifies the Biblical teaching concerning money-lending: "Hillel decreed the prozbul for the betterment of the world. The prozbul is a legal fiction which allows debts to be collected after the Sabbatical year and it was Hillel's intention thereby to overcome the fear that money-lenders had of losing their money."

The famous warning of Jesus Christ about the tradition of men that voids Scripture (Mark 7:1-13), is in fact, a direct reference to the Talmud, or more specifically, the forerunner of the first part of it, the Mishnah, which existed in oral form during Christ's lifetime, before being committed to writing. Mark chapter 7, from verse one through thirteen, represents Our Lord's pointed condemnation of the Mishnah.

Unfortunately, due to the abysmal ignorance of our day, the widespread "Judeo-Christian" notion is that the Old Testament is the supreme book of Judaism. But this is not so. The Pharisees teach for doctrine the commandments of rabbis, not God.

The Talmudic commentary on the Bible is their supreme law, and not the Bible itself. That commentary does indeed, as Jesus said, void the laws of God, not uphold them. As students of the Talmud, we know this to be true.

Jewish scholar Hyam Maccoby, in Judaism on Trial, quotes Rabbi Yehiel ben Joseph: "Further, without the Talmud, we would not be able to understand passages in the Bible...God has handed this authority to the sages and tradition is a necessity as well as scripture. The Sages also made enactments of their own...anyone who does not study the Talmud cannot understand Scripture."

There is a tiny Jewish sect which makes considerable effort to eschew Talmud and adhere to the Old Testament alone. These are the Karaites, a group which, historically, has been most hated and severely persecuted by orthodox Jewish rabbinate.

To the Mishnah the rabbis later added the Gemara (rabbinical commentaries). Together these comprise the Talmud. There are two versions, the Jerusalem Talmud and the Babylonian Talmud.

The Babylonian Talmud is regarded as the authoritative version: "The authority of the Babylonian Talmud is also greater than that of the Jerusalem Talmud. In cases of doubt the former is decisive." (R.C. Musaph-Andriesse, From Torah to Kabbalah: A Basic Introduction to the Writings of Judaism, p. 40).

This study is based on the Jewish-authorized Babylonian Talmud. We have published herein the authenticated sayings of the Jewish Talmud. Look them up for yourself.

We publish the following irrefutable documentation in the hope of liberating all people, including Jewish people, from the corrosive delusions and racism of this Talmudic hate literature, which is the manual of Orthodox and Hasidic Jews the world over.

The implementation by Jewish supremacists of Talmudic hate literature has caused untold suffering throughout history and now, in occupied Palestine, it is used as a justification for the mass murder of Palestinian civilians. The Talmud specifically defines all who are not Jews as non-human animals.

Some Teachings of the Jewish Talmud

Where a Jew Should Do Evil

Moed Kattan 17a: If a Jew is tempted to do evil he should go to a city where he is not known and do the evil there.

Penalty for Disobeying Rabbis

Erubin 21b. Whosoever disobeys the rabbis deserves death and will be punished by being boiled in hot excrement in hell.

Hitting a Jew is the same as hitting God

Sanhedrin 58b. If a heathen (gentile) hits a Jew, the gentile must be killed.

O.K. to Cheat Non-Jews

Sanhedrin 57a . A Jew need not pay a gentile ("Cuthean") the wages owed him for work.

Jews Have Superior Legal Status

Baba Kamma 37b. "If an ox of an Israelite gores an ox of a Canaanite there is no liability; but if an ox of a Canaanite gores an ox of an Israelite...the payment is to be in full."

Jews May Steal from Non-Jews

Baba Mezia 24a . If a Jew finds an object lost by a gentile ("heathen") it does not have to be returned. (Affirmed also in Baba Kamma 113b). Sanhedrin 76a. God will not spare a Jew who "marries his daughter to an old man or takes a wife for his infant son or returns a lost article to a Cuthean..."

Jews May Rob and Kill Non-Jews

Sanhedrin 57a . When a Jew murders a gentile ("Cuthean"), there will be no death penalty. What a Jew steals from a gentile he may keep.

Baba Kamma 37b. The gentiles are outside the protection of the law and God has "exposed their money to Israel."

Jews May Lie to Non-Jews

Baba Kamma 113a. Jews may use lies ("subterfuges") to circumvent a Gentile.

Non-Jewish Children are Sub-Human

Yebamoth 98a. All gentile children are animals.

Abodah Zarah 36b. Gentile girls are in a state of niddah (filth) from birth.

Abodah Zarah 22a-22b . Gentiles prefer sex with cows.

Insults Against Blessed Mary

Sanhedrin 106a . Says Jesus' mother was a whore: "She who was the descendant of princes and governors played the harlot with carpenters." Also in footnote #2 to Shabbath 104b of the Soncino edition, it is stated that in the "uncensored" text of the Talmud it is written that Jesus mother, "Miriam the hairdresser," had sex with many men.

Gloats over Christ Dying Young

A passage from Sanhedrin 106 gloats over the early age at which Jesus died: "Hast thou heard how old Balaam (Jesus) was?--He replied: It is not actually stated but since it is written, Bloody and deceitful men shall not live out half their days it follows that he was thirty-three or thirty-four years old."

Jesus in the Talmud:

Horrible Blasphemies Against Jesus Christ

While it is the standard disinformation practice of apologists for the Talmud to deny that it contains any scurrilous references to Jesus Christ, certain Orthodox Jewish organizations are more forthcoming and admit that the Talmud not only mentions Jesus but disparages him (as a sorcerer and a demented sex freak). These orthodox Jewish organizations make this admission perhaps out of the belief that Jewish supremacy is so well-established in the modern world that they need not concern themselves with adverse reactions.

For example, on the website of the Orthodox Jewish Hasidic Lubavitch group--one of the largest in the world--we find the following statement, complete with Talmudic citations:

"The Talmud (Babylonian edition) records other sins of 'Jesus the Nazarene':

1) He and his disciples practiced sorcery and black magic, led Jews astray into idolatry, and were sponsored by foreign, gentile powers for the purpose of subverting Jewish worship (Sanhedrin 43a).

2) He was sexually immoral, worshipped statues of stone (a brick is mentioned), was cut off from the Jewish people for his wickedness, and refused to repent (Sanhedrin 107b; Sotah 47a).

3) He learned witchcraft in Egypt and, to perform miracles, used procedures that involved cutting his flesh, which is also explicitly banned in the Bible (Shabbos 104b).

End quote from http://www.noahide.com/yeshu.htm (Lubavitch website) June 20, 2000.

[Note: we have printed and preserved in our files a hard copy of this statement from the Lubavitch"Noah's Covenant Website," as it appeared on their website at http://www.noahide.com on June 20, 2000, in the event that denials are later issued and the statement itself suppressed].

Let us examine further some of these anti-Christ Talmud passages:

Gittin 57a. Says Jesus is in hell, being boiled in "hot excrement."

Sanhedrin 43a. Says Jesus ("Yeshu" and in Soncino footnote #6, Yeshu "the Nazarene") was executed because he practiced sorcery: "It is taught that on the eve of Passover Jesus was hung, and forty days before this the proclamation was made: Jesus is to be stoned to death because he has practiced sorcery and has lured the people to idolatry...He was an enticer and of such thou shalt not pity or condone."

Kallah 51a."The elders were once sitting in the gate when two young lads passed by; one covered his head and the other uncovered his head. Of him who uncovered his head Rabbi Eliezer remarked that he is a bastard. Rabbi Joshua remarked that he is the son of a niddah (a child conceived during a woman's menstrual period). Rabbi Akiba said that he is both a bastard and a son of a niddah.

"They said, 'What induced you to contradict the opinion of your colleagues?' He replied, "I will prove it concerning him." He went to the lad's mother and found her sitting in the market selling beans.

"He said to her, 'My daughter, if you will answer the question I will put to you, I will bring you to the world to come.' (eternal life). She said to him, 'Swear it to me.'

"Rabbi Akiba, taking the oath with his lips but annulling it in his heart, said to her, 'What is the status of your son?' She replied, 'When I entered the bridal chamber I was niddah (menstruating) and my husband kept away from me; but my best man had intercourse with me and this son was born to me.' Consequently the child was both a bastard and the son of a niddah.

"It was declared, '..Blessed be the God of Israel Who Revealed His Secret to Rabbi Akiba..."

In addition to the theme that God rewards clever liars, the preceding Talmud discussion is actually about Jesus Christ (the bastard boy who "uncovered his head" and was conceived in the filth of menstruation). The boy's adulterous mother in this Talmud story is the mother of Christ, Blessed Mary (called Miriam and sometimes, Miriam the hairdresser, in the Talmud).

"The Editio Princeps of the complete Code of Talmudic Law, Maimonides' Mishneh Torah -- replete not only with the most offensive precepts against all Gentiles but also with explicit attacks on Christianity and on Jesus (after whose name the author adds piously, 'May the name of the wicked perish')... --Dr. Israel Shahak, Jewish History, Jewish Religion, p. 21.

"The Talmud contains a few explicit references to Jesus...These references are certainly not complimentary...There seems little doubt that the account of the execution of Jesus on the eve of Passover does refer to the Christian Jesus...The passage in which Jesus' punishment in hell is described also seems to refer to the Christian Jesus. It is a piece of anti-Christian polemic dating from the post-70 CE period..." --Hyam Maccoby, Judaism on Trial, pp. 26-27.

"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 which mention his execution are quite happy to take responsibility for it; in the talmudic account the Romans are not even mentioned.

"The more popular accounts--which were nevertheless taken quite seriously--such as the notorious Toldot Yeshu are even worse, for in addition to the above crimes they accuse him of witchcraft. The very name 'Jesus' was for Jews a symbol of all that is abominable and this popular tradition still persists...

"The Hebrew form of the name Jesus--Yeshu--was interpreted as an acronym for the curse, 'may his name and memory be wiped out,' which is used as an extreme form of abuse. In fact, anti-zionist Orthodox Jews (such as Neturey Qarta) sometimes refer to Herzl as 'Herzl Jesus' and I have found in religious zionist writings expressions such as "Nasser Jesus" and more recently 'Arafat Jesus." --Dr. Israel Shahak, Jewish History, Jewish Religion, pp. 97- 98, 118.

Talmud Attacks Christians and Christian Books

Rosh Hashanah 17a. Christians (minnim) and others who reject the Talmud will go to hell and be punished there for all generations.

Sanhedrin 90a. Those who read the New Testament ("uncanonical books") will have no portion in the world to come.

Shabbath 116a. Jews must destroy the books of the Christians, i.e. the New Testament.

Dr. Israel Shahak of Hebrew University reports that the Israelis burned hundreds of New Testament Bibles in occupied Palestine on March 23, 1980 (cf. Jewish History, Jewish Religion, p. 21).

Sick and Insane Teachings of the Talmud

Gittin 69a . To heal his flesh a Jew should take dust that lies within the shadow of an outdoor toilet, mix with honey and eat it.

Shabbath 41a. The law regulating the rule for how to urinate in a holy way is given.

Yebamoth 63a. States that Adam had sexual intercourse with all the animals in the Garden of Eden.

Yebamoth 63a. Declares that agriculture is the lowest of occupations.

Sanhedrin 55b. A Jew may marry a three year old girl (specifically, three years "and a day" old).

Sanhedrin 54b. A Jew may have sex with a child as long as the child is less than nine years old.

Kethuboth 11b. "When a grown-up man has intercourse with a little girl it is nothing."

Yebamoth 59b. A woman who had intercourse with a beast is eligible to marry a Jewish priest. A woman who has sex with a demon is also eligible to marry a Jewish priest.

Abodah Zarah 17a. States that there is not a whore in the world that the Talmudic sage Rabbi Eleazar has not had sex with. On one of his whorehouse romps, Rabbi Eleazar leanred that there was one particular prostitute residing in a whorehouse near the sea, who would receive a bag of money for her services. He took a bag of money and went to her, crossing seven rivers to do so. During their intercourse the prostitute farted. After this the whore told Rabbi Eleazar: "Just as this gas will never return to my anus, Rabbi Eleazar will never get to heaven."

Hagigah 27a. States that no rabbi can ever go to hell.

Baba Mezia 59b. A rabbi debates God and defeats Him. God admits the rabbi won the debate.

Gittin 70a. The Rabbis taught: "On coming from a privy (outdoor toilet) a man should not have sexual intercourse till he has waited long enough to walk half a mile, because the demon of the privy is with him for that time; if he does, his children will be epileptic."

Gittin 69b. To heal the disease of pleurisy ("catarrh") a Jew should "take the excrement of a white dog and knead it with balsam, but if he can possibly avoid it he should not eat the dog's excrement as it loosens the limbs."

Pesahim 111a. It is forbidden for dogs, women or palm trees to pass between two men, nor may others walk between dogs, women or palm trees. Special dangers are involved if the women are menstruating or sitting at a crossroads.

Menahoth 43b-44a. A Jewish man is obligated to say the following prayer every day: Thank you God for not making me a gentile, a woman or a slave.

Tall Tales of a Roman Holocaust

Here are two early "Holocaust" tales from the Talmud: Gittin 57b. Claims that four billion Jews were killed by the Romans in the city of Bethar. Gittin 58a claims that 16 million Jewish children were wrapped in scrolls and burned alive by the Romans. (Ancient demography indicates that there were not 16 million Jews in the entire world at that time, much less 16 million Jewish children or four billion Jews).

A Revealing Admission

Abodah Zarah 70a. The question was asked of the rabbi whether wine stolen in Pumbeditha might be used or if it was defiled, due to the fact that the thieves might have been gentiles (a gentile touching wine would make the wine unclean). The rabbi says not to worry, that the wine is permissible for Jewish use because the majority of the thieves in Pumbeditha, the place where the wine was stolen, are Jews. (Also cf. Gemara Rosh Hashanah 25b).

Pharisaic Rituals

Erubin 21b. "Rabbi Akiba said to him, "Give me some water to wash my hands."

"It will not suffice for drinking," the other complained, "will it suffice for washing your hands?"

"What can I do?' the former replied, "when for neglecting the words of the Rabbis one deserves death? It is better that I myself should die than that I transgress against the opinion of my colleagues." [This is the ritual hand washing condemned by Jesus in Matthew 15: 1-9].

Genocide Advocated by the Talmud

Minor Tractates. Soferim 15, Rule 10. This is the saying of Rabbi Simon ben Yohai: Tob shebe goyyim harog ("Even the best of the gentiles should all be killed").

This passage is from the original Hebrew of the Babylonian Talmud as quoted by the 1907 Jewish Encyclopedia, published by Funk and Wagnalls and compiled by Isidore Singer, under the entry, "Gentile," (p. 617).

This original Talmud passage has been concealed in translation. The Jewish Encyclopedia states that, "...in the various versions the reading has been altered, 'The best among the Egyptians' being generally substituted." In the Soncino version: "the best of the heathens" (Minor Tractates, Soferim 41a-b].

Israelis annually take part in a national pilgrimage to the grave of Simon ben Yohai, to honor this rabbi who advocated the extermination of non-Jews. (Jewish Press, June 9, 1989, p. 56B).

On Purim, Feb. 25, 1994, Israeli army officer Baruch Goldstein, an orthodox Jew from Brooklyn, massacred 40 Palestinian civilians, including children, while they knelt in prayer in a mosque. Goldstein was a disciple of the late Brooklyn Rabbi Meir Kahane, who told CBS News that his teaching that Arabs are "dogs" is derived "from the Talmud." (CBS 60 Minutes, "Kahane").

University of Jerusalem Prof. Ehud Sprinzak described Kahane and Goldstein's philosophy: "They believe it's God's will that they commit violence against goyim, a Hebrew term for non-Jews." (NY Daily News, Feb. 26, 1994, p. 5).

Rabbi Yitzhak Ginsburg declared, "We have to recognize that Jewish blood and the blood of a goy are not the same thing." (NY Times, June 6, 1989, p.5).

Rabbi Yaacov Perrin said, "One million Arabs are not worth a Jewish fingernail." (NY Daily News, Feb. 28, 1994, p.6).

Talmudic Doctrine: Non-Jews are not Human

The Talmud specifically defines all who are not Jews as non-human animals, and specifically dehumanizes Gentiles as not being descendants of Adam. Here are some of the Talmud passages which relate to this topic.

Kerithoth 6b: Uses of Oil of Anointing. "Our Rabbis have taught: He who pours the oil of anointing over cattle or vessels is not guilty; if over gentiles (goyim) or the dead, he is not guilty. The law relating to cattle and vessels is right, for it is written: "Upon the flesh of man (Adam), shall it not be poured (Exodus 30:32]); and cattle and vessels are not man (Adam).

"Also with regard to the dead, [it is plausible] that he is exempt, since after death one is called corpse and not a man (Adam). But why is one exempt in the case of gentiles (goyim); are they not in the category of man (Adam)? No, it is written: 'And ye my sheep, the sheep of my pasture, are man" (Adam); [Ezekiel 34:31]: Ye are called man (Adam) but gentiles (goyim) are not called man (Adam)."

In the preceding passage, the rabbis are discussing the portion of the Mosaic law which forbids applying the holy oil to men.

The Talmud states that it is not a sin to apply the holy oil to Gentiles, because Gentiles are not human beings (i.e. are not of Adam).

Another example from tractate Yebamoth 61a: "It was taught: And so did R. Simeon ben Yohai state (61a) that the graves of gentiles (goyim) do not impart levitical uncleanness by an ohel [standing or bending over a grave], for it is said, 'And ye my sheep the sheep of my pasture, are men (Adam), [Ezekiel 34:31]; you are called men (Adam) but the idolaters are not called men (Adam)."

The Old Testament Mosaic law states that touching a human corpse or the grave of a human imparts uncleanness to those who touch it. But the Talmud teaches that if a Jew touches the grave of a Gentile, the Jew is not rendered unclean, since Gentiles are not human (not of Adam).

From Baba Mezia 114b: ""A Jewish priest was standing in a graveyard. When asked why he was standing there in apparent violation of the Mosaic law, he replied that it was permissible, since the law only prohibits Jews from coming into contact with the graves of humans (Adamites), and he was standing in a gentile graveyard. For it has been taught by Rabbi Simon ben Yohai: 'The graves of gentiles [goyim] do not defile. For it is written, 'And ye my flock, the flock of my pastures, are men (Adam)' (Ezekiel 34:31); only ye are designated men (Adam)."

Ezekiel 34:31 is the alleged Biblical proof text repeatedly cited in the preceding three Talmud passages. But Ezekiel 34:31 does not in fact support the Talmudic notion that only Israelites are human. What these rabbinical, anti-Gentile racists and ideologues have done in asserting the preceding absurdities about Gentiles is distort an Old Testament passage in order to justify their bigotry.

In Berakoth 58a the Talmud uses Ezekiel 23:20 as proof of the sub-human status of gentiles. It also teaches that anyone (even a Jewish man) who reveals this Talmudic teaching about non-Jews deserves death, since revealing it makes Gentiles wrathful and causes the repression of Judaism.

The Talmudic citation of this scripture from Ezekiel as a "proof-text" is specious, since the passage does not prove that Gentiles are animals. The passage from Ezekiel only says that some Egyptians had large genital organs and copious emissions. This does not in any way prove or even connote that the Egyptians being referred to in the Bible were considered animals. Once again, the Talmud has falsified the Bible by means of distorted interpretation.

Other Talmud passages which expound on Ezekiel 23:20 in this racist fashion are: Arakin 19b, Berakoth 25b, Niddah 45a, Shabbath 150a, Yebamoth 98a. Moreover, the original text of Sanhedrin 37a applies God's approval only to the saving of Jewish lives (cf. the Hesronot Ha-shas, Cracow, 1894).

Moses Maimonides: Advocate of Extermination

We will now examine the post-Talmudic commentator Rambam (Moses Maimonides). This revered "sage" taught that Christians should be exterminated. He has the highest stature in Judaism:

"Moses Maimonides is considered the greatest codifier and philosopher in Jewish history. He is often affectionately referred to as the Rambam, after the initials of his name and title, Rabenu Moshe Ben Maimon, "Our Rabbi, Moses son of Maimon." [Maimonides' Principles, edited by Aryeh Kaplan, Union of Orthodox Jewish Congregations of America,, p. 3].

Here is what Maimonides (Rambam) taught concerning saving people's lives, especially concerning saving the lives of gentiles and Christians, or even Jews who dared to deny the "divine inspiration" of the Talmud:

Maimonides, Mishnah Torah, (Moznaim Publishing Corporation, Brooklyn, New York, 1990, Chapter 10, English Translation), p. 184: "Accordingly, if we see an idolater (gentile) being swept away or drowning in the river, we should not help him. If we see that his life is in danger, we should not save him." The Hebrew text of the Feldheim 1981 edition of Mishnah Torah states this as well.

Immediately after Maimonides' admonition that it is a duty for Jews not to save a drowning or perishing gentile, he informs us of the Talmudic duty of Jews towards Christians, and also towards Jews who deny the Talmud. Maimonides, Mishnah Torah, (Chapter 10), p. 184:

"It is a mitzvah [religious duty], however, to eradicate Jewish traitors, minnim, and apikorsim, and to cause them to descend to the pit of destruction, since they cause difficulty to the Jews and sway the people away from God, as did Jesus of Nazareth and his students, and Tzadok, Baithos, and their students. May the name of the wicked rot."

The Jewish publisher's commentary accompanying the preceding statement of Maimonides states that Jesus was an example of a min (plural: minnim).

The commentary also states that the students of Tzadok were defined as those Jews who deny the truth of the Talmud and who uphold only the written law (i.e. the Old Testament).

According to Maimonides' Principles, p. 5, Maimonides "spent twelve years extracting every decision and law from the Talmud, and arranging them all into 14 systematic volumes. The work was finally completed in 1180, and was called Mishnah Torah, or "Code of the Torah."

Maimonides taught in another part of the Mishnah Torah that gentiles are not human: "Man alone, and not vessels, can contract uncleanness by carriage. ...The corpse of a gentile, however, does not convey uncleanness by overshadowing. ...a gentile does not contract corpse uncleanness; and if a gentile touches, carries, or overshadows a corpse he is as one who did not touch it.

"To what is this like? It is like a beast which touches a corpse or overshadows it. And this applies not to corpse uncleanness only but to any other kind of uncleanness: neither gentiles nor cattle are susceptible to any uncleanness." (The Code of Maimonides, vol. 10, translated by Herbert Danby, Yale University Press, New Haven, 1954, pp. 8-9).

Maimonides, Mishneh Torah, Hilchot Rotze'ach 2:11: "A Jew who killed a righteous gentile is not executed in a court of law. It says in Exodus 21:14, 'If a man schemes against his fellow man and kills the man deliberately, take him away from the altar and put him to death.' But a gentile is not considered a man, and even more so, a Jew is not executed for killing an unrighteous gentile."

The Schindler's List Quote

The Talmud (i.e., the Babylonian Talmud) text of Sanhedrin 37a restricts the duty to save life to saving only Jewish lives.

The book on Hebrew censorship, written by Jews themselves (Hesronot Ha-shas), notes that some Talmud texts use the universalist phrase:

"Whoever destroys the life of a single human being...it is as if he had destroyed an entire world; and whoever preserves the life of a single human being ...it is as if he had preserved an entire world."

However, Hesronot Ha-shas points out that these are not the authentic words of the original Talmud.

In other words, the preceding universalist rendering is not the authentic text of the Talmud and thus, for example, this universalist version which Steven Spielberg in his famous movie, Schindler's List attributed to the Talmud (and which became the motto of the movie on posters and in advertisements), is a hoax and constitutes propaganda intended to give a humanistic gloss to a Talmud which is, in its essence, racist and chauvinist hate literature.

In the authentic, original Talmud text it states that "whoever preserves a single soul of Israel, it is as if he had preserved an entire world" (emphasis supplied). The authentic Talmud text sanctions only the saving of Jewish lives.

Jewish Deception and Dissimulation

The response of the orthodox rabbis to documentation regarding the racism and hatred in their sacred texts is simply to brazenly lie, in keeping with the Talmud's Baba Kamma 113a which states that Jews may use lies ("subterfuge") to circumvent a Gentile.

The Simon Wiesenthal Center, a multi-million dollar rabbinical propaganda center dispatched Rabbi Daniel Landes in 1995 to deny that the Talmud dehumanizes non-Jews. "This is utter rot," he said. His proof? Why, his word, of course.

Lying to "circumvent a Gentile" has a long patrimony in Judaism. Take for example the 13th century Talmud debate in Paris between Nicholas of Donin, a Jewish convert to Christianity, whom Hyam Maccoby admits had "a good knowledge of the Talmud" ( "The Jews on Trial," p. 26) and Rabbi Yehiel. Yehiel was not under threat of death, bodily injury, imprisonment or fine. Yet he brazenly lied during the course of the debate.

When asked by Donin whether there were attacks on Jesus in the Talmud, Yehiel denied that there were any. Donin, a Hebrew and Aramaic scholar, knew this to be false. Hyam Maccoby, a 20th century Jewish commentator on the debate, defends Rabbi Yehiel's lying in this way:

"The question may be asked, however, whether Yehiel really believed that Jesus was not mentioned in the Talmud, or whether he put this forward as an ingenious ploy in the desperate situation in which he found himself...It would certainly have been pardonable of the rabbi to attempt some condonation in which he did not fully believe, to prevent such tyrannical proceedings by one religious culture against another." ( Maccoby, "The Jews on Trial," p. 28).

This is how Jewish denial of the existence of hateful Talmud texts is justified to this day. A fanciful word for Jewish lying is conjured ("condonation") and deemed "pardonable," while any scrutiny of Jewish holy books by Christian investigators is characterized as a "tyrannical proceeding."

In 1994, Rabbi Tzvi Marx, director of Applied Education at the Shalom Hartman Institute in Jerusalem, made a remarkable admission concerning how Jewish rabbis in the past have issued two sets of texts: the authentic Talmudic texts with which they instruct their own youth in the Talmud schools (yeshiviot) and "censured and amended" versions which they disseminate to gullible non-Jews for public consumption.

Rabbi Marx states that in the version of Maimonides' teachings published for public consumption, Maimonides is made to say that whoever kills a human being transgresses the law.

But, Rabbi Marx points out "...this only reflects the censured and amended printed text, whereas the original manuscripts have it only as 'whoever kills an Israelite."(Tikkun: A Bi-Monthly Jewish Critique May-June, 1994).

The Jewish book, Hesronot Ha-shas ("that which is removed from the Talmud"), is important in this regard. (Cf. William Popper, The Censorship of Hebrew Books p. 59).

Hesronot Ha-shas was reprinted in 1989 by Sinai Publishing of Tel-Aviv. Hesronot Ha-shas is valuable because it lists both the original Talmud texts that were later changed or omitted, and the falsified texts cited for Gentile consumption as authentic.

Historian William Popper states: "It was not always that long passages...were censored...but often single words alone were omitted...Often, in these cases, another method of correction was used in place of omission--substitution." (Cf. William Popper, The Censorship of Hebrew Books pp. 58-59).

For example, the translators of the English Soncino version of the Talmud sometimes render the Hebrew word goyim (Gentiles) under any number of disguise words such as "heathen, Cuthean, Kushite, Egyptian, idolater" etc. But these are actually references to Gentiles (all non-Jews). Footnotes for certain passages in the Soncino Talmud translation state: "Cuthean (Samaritan) was here substituted for the original goy..."

The heirs of the Pharisees often deny the existence of the Talmud passages here cited, in order to brazenly claim that such passages are the "fabrications of anti-Semites."

In 1994, the 80 year old Lady Jane Birdwood was arrested and prosecuted in a criminal court in London, England for the "crime" of publishing in her pamphlet, The Longest Hatred, the truthful statement that the Talmud contains anti-Gentile and anti-Christian passages. (She was accused of violating the Public Order Act of 1986).

In the course of her Orwellian thought-crime trial, which was ignored by the U.S. media, a rabbi was called as a prosecution witness. The rabbi proceeded to flatly deny that the Talmud contained anti-Gentile or anti-Christian passages and on the basis of the rabbi's "prestige," this elderly and ailing woman was sentenced to three months in jail and fined the equivalent of $1,000.

"Judeo-Christian" Response to the Talmud

Neither the modern popes or the modern heads of Protestantism, have ever insisted that the rabbis of Judaism repudiate or condemn the racism in the Talmud or the murderous hate for Christians and gentiles expressed within it. On the contrary, the heads of Churchianity have urged the followers of Christ to obey, honor and support the followers of the Talmud. Therefore, it should be obvious that these Catholic and Protestant leaders are the worst betrayers of Jesus Christ on earth today. (Cf. Matthew 23:13-15; I Thess. 2:14-16; Titus 1:14; Luke 3:8-9; Rev. 3:9).

Non-Jews are "Supernal Refuse"

Moreover, not only Christians but non-Christians of all races are regarded as "supernal refuse" (garbage) by Talmud teachers such as the founder of Habad-Lubavitch, Rabbi Shneur Zalman.

This was analyzed in the Jewish magazine, New Republic: "...there are some powerful ironies in Habad's new messianic universalism, in its mission to the gentiles; and surely the most unpleasant of them concerns Habad's otherwise undisguised and even racial contempt for the goyim.

"...medieval Jewish theologians--most notably the poet and philosopher Judah Ha-Levi in twelfth-century Spain and the mystic Judah Loewe in sixteenth-century Prague--sought to define the Jewish distinction racially rather than spiritually...this...view, according to which there is something innately superior about the Jews, was rehabilitated in its most extreme form by Shneur Zalman of Lyady. The founder of Lubavitcher Hasidism taught that there is a difference of essence between the souls of Jews and the souls of gentiles, that only in the Jewish soul does there reside a spark of divine vitality.

"As for the goyim...Zalman's attitude (was): 'Gentile souls are of a completely different and inferior order. They are totally evil, with no redeeming qualities whatsoever.'

"Consequently, references to gentiles in Rabbi Shneur Zalman's teachings are invariably invidious. Their (non-Jews) material abundance derives from supernal refuse. Indeed, they themselves derive from refuse, which is why they are more numerous than the Jews, as the pieces of chaff outnumber the kernels...All Jews were innately good, all gentiles innately evil.

"...Moreover, this characterization of gentiles as being inherently evil, as being spiritually as well as biologically inferior to Jews, has not in any way been revised in later Habad writing." --The New Republic, May 4, 1992. Also cf. Roman A. Foxbrunner, Habad: The Hasidism of Shneur Zalman of Lyady (Northvale, New Jersey, Jason Aronson, Inc., 1993) pp. 108-109.

U.S. Government Lays Groundwork for Talmudic Courts

"Our" government under Presidents Reagan, Bush and Clinton, has provided, under the euphemism of education (for example, House Joint Resolution 173 and Public Law 102-14), a groundwork for the establishment of Talmudic "courts of justice" to be administered by disciples of Shneur Zalman's Chabad successor, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson.

Maimonides ruled that it is a Jewish court -- or a court appointed by Jewish authority --that enforces obedience and passes judgment on Gentiles, as well as promulgating legislation by court order for that purpose. Maimonides further decreed that any non-Jewish nation "not subject to our jurisdiction" (tahaht yadeinu) will be the target of Jewish holy war. (Cf. Hilkhot Melakhim 8:9-10; 10:11. Also cf. Gerald J. Blidstein, "Holy War in Maimonidean Law," in Perspectives on Maimonides [Oxford, England: Oxford Univ. Press, 1991].

These courts are to be convened allegedly under the "Noahide Laws" (proscriptions against idolatry supposedly based on the covenant with Noah). The U.S. presidents and Congress urged the adoption of the "Noahide" Laws as interpreted by Chabad-Lubavitch Grand Rabbi Schneerson.

Prof. Easterly of the Southern University Law Center, a Jewish legal expert, has compared this Public law 102-14 to the "first rays of dawn" which "evidence the rising of a still unseen sun."

The Jewish Encyclopedia envisages a Noahide regime as a possible world order immediately preceding the universal reign of the Talmud.

It has to be understood that we are not dealing with the Noah of the Bible when the religion of Judaism refers to "Noahide law," but the Noahide law as understood and interpreted by the absolute system of falsification that constitutes the Talmud.

Under the Talmud's counterfeit Noahide Laws, the worship of Jesus is forbidden under penalty of death, since such worship of Christ is condemned by Judaism as idolatry. Meanwhile various forms of incest are permitted under the Talmudic understanding of the Noahide code. (Enziklopediya Talmudit, note 1, pp. 351-352).

Furthermore, all non-Jews would have the legal status of ger toshav ("resident alien," cf. Alan Unterman, Dictionary of Jewish Lore and Legend [London: Thames and Hudson, 1991], p. 148), even in their own land; as for example in occupied Palestine where newly arrived Khazars from Russia have an automatic right to housing and citizenship, while two million Palestinian refugees who either fled or were expelled by the Israelis, are forbidden the right of return.

Resident alien status has been clearly delineated in scholarly articles in leading Jewish publications. For example, Hebrew University Professor Mordechai Nisan, basing his exposition on Maimonides, stated that a non-Jew permitted to reside in a land ruled by Jewish law "must accept paying a tax and suffering the humiliation of servitude."

If Gentiles refuse to live a life of inferiority, then this signals their rebellion and the unavoidable necessity of Jewish warfare against their very presence. [Cf. Mordechai Nisan, Kivunim (official publication of the World Zionist Organization), August, 1984, pp. 151-156].

At a symposium ("Is Autonomy for Resident Aliens Feasible?") organized by Israeli Minister of Education Shulamit Aloni, the Israeli Chief Rabbi Shlomo Goren repeated the Talmudic teaching on resident aliens: that Judaism forbids "granting any national rights" to them. He ruled that such "Autonomy is tantamount to a denial of the Jewish religion." (Nadav Shraggai, Ha'aretz, Oct. 14, 1992).

American taxpayers' subsidy of the so-called "U.S. Holocaust Museum" in Washington, D.C., is yet another indicator of the gradual establishment of a Jewish state religion in the U.S. This "Holocaust museum" excludes any reference to holocausts perpetrated by Jewish Communists against Christians in Russia and Eastern Europe, from 1917 onward.

The focus of the museum is almost entirely on Jewish suffering. Holocausts perpetrated by Israelis against Arabs in Lebanon and Palestine since 1948 are nowhere to be found in the exhibits of the U.S. "Holocaust Museum," which functions more like a synagogue than a repository of objective historical information.

It is through the rapid emergence of this ostensibly secular but all-pervasive "Holocaustianity" -- whereby the religion of Judaism is gaining enormous power and influence as mankind's supreme ethos and the creed of God's Holy People.

Jewish Law Requires Christians be Executed

Israeli "Torah scholars" have ruled that:

"The Torah maintains that the righteous of all nations have a place in the World to Come. But not all religious Gentiles earn eternal life by virtue of observing their religion...And while the Christians do generally accept the Hebrew Bible as truly from God, many of them (those who accept the so-called divinity of Jesus) are idolaters according to the Torah, punishable by death, and certainly will not enjoy the World to Come."

--Israeli Mechon-Mamre website, June 26, 2000; 12 Hayyim Vital St., Jerusalem, Occupied Palestine. ("Mechon Mamre is a small group of Torah scholars in Israel...").

[Note: we have printed and preserved in our files a hard copy of this statement from the Israeli "Mechon-Mamre Torah Scholars," as it appeared on their website at http://www.mechon-mamre.org/jewfaq/gentiles.htm on June 26, 2000, in the event that denials are later issued and the statement itself suppressed].

Jewish Superstitions

It is not for nothing that the authoritative edition of the Talmud is known as the Babylonian Talmud. As Christians misled by their Judaizing preachers and popes are increasingly consulting Jewish rabbinical sources for a "pure" understanding of the Old Testament, they are unknowingly consulting the occult.

Judaism is the religion of the Pharisees and the patrimony of Babylon, from whence the Talmudic and Kabbalistic traditions of Judaism ultimately derive. Orthodox Judaism's other sacred book, the Kabbalah, is filled with astrological teachings, fortune-telling, gematria, necromancy and demonology.

The photograph on the cover of this publication's hard copy version shows an orthodox Jew performing a ritual to transfer his sins to the chicken he is waving over his head. This is pernicious superstition.

Furthermore, the Israeli "Star of David," is actually nothing of the kind, but rather an occult hexagram, a yantra of the androgyne, which became associated with the Khazars in 14th century Bohemia. (The misnamed "state of Israel" was founded in 1948 in an alliance between Jewish Communists and atheistic Zionists, with crucial U.N. recognition provided by Soviet Communist dictator Joseph Stalin).

Christians might find it eye-opening to visit a Hasidic Jewish area during "Purim" and observe the grotesque, Halloween-like cavorting. Though the Purim festival uses the Book of Esther as its supposed proof-text, in practice the Jewish celebration of Purim is little more than a Bacchanal (cf. "Superstitions said legacy from Jewish ancestors," Canadian Jewish News, Nov. 16, 1989, p. 58).

Orthodox rabbis place curses, cast spells and imagine they have powers greater than God, derived from their study of the Sefer Yezriah, (a book of Kabbalistic magic). Christians are trafficking in Babylonian paganism when they defer to the rabbis of Judaism.

Sodomy in the synagogue

From a report published in the Hebrew language Israeli newspaper Ha'aretz

"...for many years, (Talmud scribe) Yaakov Yitzhak Brizel...sodomized ultra-Orthodox boys. The greatest rabbis knew - and did nothing...

"At the age of 11, Moisheleh, the strongest fellow in the talmud torah (school for ultra-Orthodox boys), went up to Shaiya Brizel and said to him: 'Kid, I want you know that your father is not the holy man you think he is. He is a homo.' ...Brizel was a scion of the Brizel family, which founded ...the mysterious organization that imposes moral order on the ultra-Orthodox ghetto...

"Had the father, Yaakov Yitzhak Brizel ...contented himself with homosexual relations with adults, it is reasonable to suppose that we would never have heard his son's story.

"However, in his book, The Silence of the Ultra-Orthodox, published a few weeks ago, the son claims that for decades his father ...sodomized yeshiva students. He committed the act in empty synagogues during the hours between prayers and in other places.

"The greatest of the ultra-Orthodox rabbis...like Rabbi Landau and the halachic sage Shmuel Halevi Hausner of Bnei Brak, knew and kept silent. The father was a Hasid heart and soul, and went to a number of rebbes.... the twin brother of the rebbe from Rehovot, the Rebbe of Kretschnif in Kiryat Gat, was happy to accept the father among his followers. Ultimately, claims Brizel, it was not easy for the Rebbe from Kiryat Gat to be picky when he could win such a respected adherent.

"...The proud father with the look of an honored rebbe, who observed all the commandments from the slightest to the most important, used to pray at a certain yeshiva with the young boys. There, claims Shaiya Brizel, he hunted his victims. When the head of the yeshiva discovered the true reason that the respected Torah scribe was praying fervently at his yeshiva, he did not contact the police...

"Before the publication of his book, Shaiya Brizel met with the yeshiva head. 'You are right that we covered up for him,' admitted the man. 'I and a few other rabbis...I was busy trying to calm things down and hushing up the affair so that it would not get publicized.'

"(The son) published the book using real names. His entire family and almost all the rabbis appear under their own names. Only the names of some of the localities and the head of the yeshiva are disguised. To protect himself from a legal point of view, Brizel held a series of conversations with members of his family and rabbis, in which he demanded explanations of why they had covered up for his father's misbehavior. He secretly recorded all these conversations, even with his mother.

"If I had written without the names it would have been fiction and this certainly did not suit me," he explained. 'I wanted things to change, for ultra-Orthodox society to know that it can attempt to hide things and be hidden, but even if it takes 30 years, a Golem will always rise up against its creator and reveal everything. In this case, I was the Golem.'

"When Rachel Brizel, the daughter of a good Bnei Brak family, married an arranged match from the glorious Brizel family, she had no idea that she was destroying her own life. After six months, she caught her husband having sex with another man. In that case, at least it was with an adult.

"Shaiya Brizel relates that some of the boys with whom his father had relations sent letters of complaint to their own fathers; in the discreet ultra-Orthodox society they had no one else to whom they could complain.

Shaiya Brizel: author of a book telling of sodomy in the synagogue

"When she read these letters, my mother went out of her mind,' writes Brizel. 'Every such letter made her want to demand a divorce. Again and again batteries of mediators, the Brizel rabbis, would show up, whose job it was to calm her down so that, heaven forbid, she would not destroy the good name of the Brizel family.

"They could live with the fact that one of their own had raped minors, but for them divorce was an impossible situation.'

"...Twice, once during prayers in a synagogue, and once during a Gemara (Talmud) study hour at Rabbi Eliezer Shach's Ponevezh Yeshiva, ultra-Orthodox men who were strangers to him touched his sexual organ, presumably on the assumption that he followed in his father's footsteps. The first time, he made a fuss, only to discover that the only thing that interested the people there was to hush the whole thing up. The second time, he made do with a whispered warning to the man.

"Shaiya Brizel is now 36 and the father of three; he works as an accountant.

"His father, 65, was forced to leave home several years ago and return to his elderly parents' apartment. Shaiya wrote this book after a suicide attempt in June.

'For all those years I was half dead. For the past five years I have been getting psychological treatment. During my talks with the psychologist I decided that I was going to spew out all this ugliness in the form of a book.'

"He took into account that there would be violent reactions to the book...which only came out a few weeks ago...Brizel suffers from a serious heart defect, which could cause his death. As a way of protecting himself, he has deposited a letter with three lawyers that contains serious allegations about the Eda Haredit, and he has informed the relevant people.

"Recently, he has moved to a new apartment, and he lives in the National Religious sector of a mixed community of National Religious and ultra-Orthodox families. Naturally, he started praying at the only Hasidic synagogue in the settlement. After the book came out, associates of the local rebbe (rabbi) informed him that he was persona non grata.

"Ironically, this same rebbe had come to the area after being compelled to leave several other communities on suspicion of having sodomized his pupils. In ultra-Orthodox society, revealing that acts of sodomy have been committed is a far graver offense than committing them.

"On the day the book was published, Brizel met with the head of the Hachemei Lublin Yeshiva, Rabbi Avraham Vazner. 'He told me that publishing the book was a million times worse than what my father had done...'

"Ha'aretz has been unable to obtain a response from Rabbi Yaakov Yitzhak Brizel. At his parents' home, a woman replied: "We don't care. Shaiya is a liar and there is nothing more to be said."

"Ha'aretz also requested the Brizels' response through the Eda Haredit activist Yehuda Meshi- Zahav. By the time the article went to press, there was no response through this channel either.

"Several weeks ago the father responded to the women's magazine La'isha, saying that he would sue the publishers, which has not yet happened. It is unlikely that it will happen.

"Shaiya Brizel was ready to put off publication of the book, on condition that the family sue him in a rabbinical court, in which the affair would be aired. He has said that no one in the family was prepared to take up the challenge.

"In the conversation with La'isha, the father said that he was indeed a homosexual, 'But I have had treatment and today I am no longer like that. All this is behind me.'

"In reply to a question as to whether he had sexual relations with minors, he replied: 'Perhaps I will talk about that some other time.' He accused his son Shaiya of being 'the only one who is after me. He has destroyed my life...He wrote this only for the money. He wanted money from me...Because of him I separated from my wife.'

"Shaiya's sister, Rivka Hubert, spoke with great anger to the La'isha reporter about the fact that her brother had revealed the names of the persons involved, and declared: 'We deny everything it says in the book."

Christianity is the only true religion of the Bible. It was founded by Israelites who adhered to the Torah (Pentateuch) and who recognized in Christ's gospel of salvation through grace, the fulfillment of the Old Testament. It is the followers of Jesus who constitute the holy nation and the royal priesthood (I Peter 2:9).

THE OCCULTISM OF THE BIBLE AND THE KABBALAH
Rabbi H. Geffen, 32 degree, F.P.S.
THE NEW AGE - FEBRUARY 1950
(The New Age Magazine is the Official Organ of Scottish Rite Freemasonry)

Kabbalah is a knowledge of Divine Wisdom. This truth is the foundation stone upon which the regenerating and saving portion of every true religion is based. The Kabbalah transmits to us such knowledge as the adepts of those times chose to commit to writing.

Our Masonic spiritual allegories are based on the Kabbalah, which is known to us moderns as the Kabbalistic Doctrine.

Monotheism is the only true religion. Masonic students claim the Bible to be an occult book wherein the Kabbalistic system is embodied in allegories and symbols. The written and oral laws are dependent on and complete each other.

The Kabbalah originated with the Essenes, and also with the initiated Talmudists, who arranged Kabbalistic schools that followed Akiba and Simon Ben Jochai, who consolidated it into a scientific system in the Books, Jetzirah and Zohar.

The two chief classics of the Kabbalah, Jetzirah and Zohar, attributed respectively to Akiba and Simon Ben Jochai, reveal the basis of the occult religion of the Hebrews. The most ancient and most comprehensive is the Sefer Jetzirah, probably written by Rabbi Akiba. The Zohar teaches us that true Torah, or Law of Moses, is not in the literal but in the allegorical interpretation of the Pentateuch.

Philo Judeas, in his treatise "On the Allegories of the Sacred Laws," elucidated in a very cautions manner a few of these subjects: the Creation, the Garden of Eden, the Deluge, the Tilling of the Earth by Man, the Confusion of Languages, the Migration of Abraham, His Two Wives, and many more such subjects having mystic truth as their foundation.

Moses probably received and revived the Monotheism of Abraham. But, the Divine Kabbalah is the spiritual interpretation of material symbols and emblems. It is this tradition-namely, the esoteric Law of Moses-which is the Torah, whereof is recorded in the Talmud: "Moses received the Oral Law from Sinai and delivered it to Joshua, and Joshua to the Elders, and the Elders to the Prophets, and the Prophets to the Men of the Great Synagogue." It must, therefore, be well understood that the Torah thus mentioned by the Talmud is not the written, but the Oral Law, or Kabbalah, transmitted by tradition from generation to generation, until collected by Simon Ben Jochai and preserved in the volume of the Zohar. The Talmud is the Oral Law and is, in itself, in some places of a Kabbalistic character as a symbolical vehicle of the Divine Kabbalah.

There were two traditions in the Occult Kabbalah, an exoteric tradition perpetuated and an esoteric tradition wherein the Kabbalah was transmitted. The exoteric tradition is permeated with Kabbalism. One must be a studious Mason to discern the esoteric direction from the exoteric customs having no divine object.

It is not my purpose here to write the story of Moses. It is well known that he had obtained the hidden mysteries of Egypt, but he annulled the superstitious belief of the Egyptians and he built a true Monotheistic creed of Divine Wisdom. Hence, he insisted on worship being directed exclusively to Jehovah, the One Universal Omnipotent God; he also insisted on perfect purity of thought, word and deed. As a true Prophet we must suppose that his sacrifices consisted not of the shedding of innocent blood, but his intention was to prevent the people from human sacrifices.

In studying diligently Masonic Occult Philosophy, we, must thus take into consideration that the Bible is a Kabbalistic Book, allegorically written and symbolically illustrated. The systems of the Kabbalah and Esoteric Masonry are identical, and for this reason the Masons call their Temple the Temple of Solomon. All the Masonic ceremonies have a Kabbalistic base. Their virtue is not doubted. There are moral, hygienic and spiritual rules of conduct given. The highest thought that Kabbalah and Masonry ever expressed was Universality. Although the Bible history is allegoric and symbolic and has much fable, it is doubtless founded upon truth.

Moses and the Prophets, the Essenes, and the Tanaim were occultists and, consequently, most if not all their writings are manifestly or occultly treatises on Kabbalah; and we can say with certainty that they were the forerunners of Masonry. This assumption must naturally occur to the minds of only right thinking Masons, who are penetrated by the sublime virtues of our order and are justly entitled to bear the name of Occult Masonic students. 

Mk:7:8: 

For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do.

Mk:7:9: 

And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.

Mk:7:13: 

Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.

THE EFFECTS OF THE TALMUD ON JUDEO-CHRISTIANITY
by Col. Jack Mohr, USA, Ret.

INTRODUCTION
 

LIGHTING A CANDLE
Chapter One
 

RECOGNIZING THE ENEMY
Chapter Two

It is important for a soldier in time of war to be able to identify his enemy. He cannot be
successful in his efforts to conquer his opponent unless he readily recognizes him. Today,
the souls of millions of Christians are uneasy about the state of the Christian faith. The
minds of thousands of Christian clergy are troubled about the mysterious pressures from
those above them which often prevent them from exercising sound judgment. If these
forces can be identified, then Christianity will stand on its feet, face its enemies as firmly as
the Rock of Gibraltar and stop them in their tracks. But unless this is done soon, the faith
of many will "wax cold and begin to crumble away."

In Jeremiah 23:22, we read these words:
But if they (the pastors of Israel) had stood in My (God's) counsel, and had caused my
people (Israel) to hear my words, then they (the pastors of Israel) should have turned them
(Israel) away from their evil way and from the evil of their doings.

This indicates to me that the message coming from the majority of Christian pulpits in
America is not the unadulterated Word of God. For if the truth were being preached
according to God's own Word, our people would have turned to Him. This is one of the
major reasons we have undertaken this study of one of the major textbooks of the
anti-Christ enemy, The Babylonian Talmud.

The Christian clergy are primarily, if not solely, responsible for the internal forces within
the Christian faith which are fighting against its best interests. If we are to survive, we can
no longer pussyfoot around with the truth because it offends someone or makes them
uncomfortable. At this late hour there is very little time left for us to begin to mend the
fence. Only the courageous will endure the present crisis, and both figuratively and
literally, we will see live heroes and dead cowards when the dust of this battle settles. The
Christian faith is the only anchor to windward which will stand against the universal
savagery of the enemies of Christianity. They have willingly shown us the depths to which
they will descend to gain their end of world control.

There need be no confusion in the minds of Christians when it comes to the fundamentals
of the faith. This confusion would not exist if it were not for those of the clergy who are
allies with the enemy who seeks to destroy them. There are countless Christians who are
standing on the sidelines watching as their faith withers on the vine, and their freedom is
about to drop into the laps of their enemies like overripe fruit. This cup will become more
bitter when they realize that it is the ignorance and indifference of their spiritual leaders
which has caused the deplorable condition of Christianity today. When Christians see their
leaders in defeat on every front, they too will become confused and afraid. To stop this
surrender, the clergy MUST make an about-face, no matter how painful it may be. They
must take a stand against the invisible and intangible ideological war which is being waged against the Christian faith.

The utterance from the clergy which confuses Christians most and which is repeated from
the pulpit and the printed page without ceasing is: "Jesus was a Jew. We must protect and
help the Jews, no matter what they do because they are God's chosen people and if we do
not help them, God will curse us." This is the teaching from the majority of Christian
pulpits in 1992. They completely ignore the definition of an "anti-Christ" as given in I John
2:22-23:
Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is anti-christ, that denieth
the Father and the Son. Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father. but he
that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.

This couldn't be more clear, and it is certainly an accurate portrayal of Jewish thought
today. In II John 10-11, Christians are given a stern admonition as to their attitude toward
these anti-christs:
If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, (that Jesus is the Christ.) receive
him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: For he that biddeth him God speed is
partaker of his evil deeds. This leaves no room for argument!

Christians who know the Scriptures and history cannot reconcile the pulpit claim that
Abraham was a Jew. They know this was impossible because Abraham lived more than
1200 years prior to those who became known as Jews. The Christian clergy of America is
in bad repute today, and the only way they can redeem themselves is by telling the truth,
the whole truth and nothing but the truth no matter how painful it may be to themselves or
to their denominational leaders. They can begin by refuting the claims that Abraham was a
Jew, Christ was a Jew, and that God's chosen people are the Jews.

With this as an introduction, let's take a closer look at those whom I identify as the
enemies of Christ and Christianity: the International Talmudic Jews. Before you become
angry and throw this book away, I dare you to read on and, as an honest man or woman,
compare what I have written with the Word of God.

Following is a comparison of the Jewish holy book, The Babylonian Talmud, with the
Christian Bible. Most Christians believe that the Jews follow the TORAH or the Old
Testament. Not so! According to Theodore Hertzl, father of modern Zionism, The
Babylonian Talmud supersedes every other instruction. It is the center and foundation of
Jewish belief and directs their behavior toward non-Jews whom they call "goyim."
 

THE EVIDENCE:

We will begin our study by reviewing the book, Invitation to the Talmud. (a teaching
book) written by Jacob Neusner (a Jew) and published by Harper and Row in 1973.
Neusner was a university professor and Ungerleider Distinguished Scholar of Judaic
Studies at Brown University. He is author of Invitation to Midrash and has written or
edited over 250 books on Judaism. He is known as one of the world's preeminent Judaic
scholars and can be considered an expert on the Jewish religion. Excerpts from the
Introduction to Invitation to the Talmud follow:

p. XVI  It (The Talmud) is the revealed word of God.

p. XVII It (The Talmud) is the revealed teaching - from heaven down to earth and
conversely, to make the pro fane sacred. (Profane: not sacred; common, not connected
with religion; not initiated into the inner mysteries for esoteric knowledge of something.
Ed.)

p. XVI II They (the Jews) rightly see The TALMUD as TORAH, God's revelation to
Israel, the Jewish people, and they study it because it is TORAH.

What is the TORAH? The New World Dictionary of the American Language states that it
is; The whole body of Jewish religious literature, including the Scripture and The
TALMUD. In some instances it refers to the Pentateuch which are the five books of
Moses; Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy.

p. XXII  Jewish intellectualism without Jewish faith proves wanting. For divorced from
the soul of TALMUDIC being, secular reason among Jewish intellectuals remains formless
and formal, producing on the one side the grotesque and absurd and, on the other side, an
empty formalism.

p. XXIV Why does the Judaic tradition find God in the thrust and parry of argument as it
does when it claims that God Himself studies the TORAH?

The basic text on which The TALMUD is constructed, is the MISHNAH, a philosophical
law code brought to closure at about 200 A.D. The TALMUD then draws together the
MISHNAH and yet another argumentative text which is called the TOSTEFA, meaning
supplements.

p. XXV  The TALMUD is really two TALMUDS, for there was one systematic
commentary for the MISHNAH, composed by Rabbis in the land of Israel (Palestine -
hence called The PALESTINIAN TALMUD) or the TALMUD OF THE LORD OF
ISRAEL, or the YERUSHOLOMI or the TALMUD OF JERUSALEM. The other was
composed by the Rabbis of Babylonia. The YERUSHOLOMI reached its conclusion
at about 400 A.D. and the BOOLI or BABYLONIAN TALMUD, a century or two later.

p. XXVII  From it (The TALMUD) flows whatever truth Jews have to offer the world of
Judaism.

(The BABYLONIAN TALMUD is the work most often used by Orthodox Judaism,
therefore it is the point of our interest.)

p. XXX When The TALMUD raises an ethical question it speaks of "the good way in
which a person should walk, not necessarily in which a Jew should walk. " (Emphasis
added. Ed.) When it treats dilemmas of social conflict, all parties to the conflict are
assumed to be plain men and women - Jewish men and women to be sure...the discipline
of the TORAH is the revealed will of God given to the people of Israel(Jews), and while
the Rabbis are well aware that some people are Jews and many are not, The TALMUD is
essentially interested in Jews.

(As we go along, we will be able to determine whether this statement is true or not.)

At this point, we look into the main body of the book.

p.1  The TALMUD IS THE SINGLE MOST INFLUENTIAL DOCUMENT IN THE
history of Judaism.

It might be well for us to realize at this point that Judaism did not exist as a religion
until the Babylonian captivity, about 590 B.C. The Judahites went into captivity in
Babylon as Hebrews, but returned seventy years later as Jews with a heathen occult
religion which became known as JUDAISM. Theodore Hertzl, the father of the modern
Zionist Movement once said: "It was during the Babylonian captivity that Israel (The
majority of the tribes of Judah and Benjamin, along with the ten tribes of Israel, had been
taken into captivity by the Assyrians some 150 years earlier and no longer lived in that
area. Those who remained of the tribes of Judah and Benjamin were subsequently
captured by the Babylonians and moved to Babylon to live and became known as Jews.
Ed.) found itself. It not only rediscovered the TORAH, and made it their rule of life, but
under its influence new religious instructions, such as the synagogues... came into
existence."

Christians need to remember, as we look closely at The TALMUD, that the JUDAISM
which today follows TALMUDIC teachings is the PHARISAISM of Jesus' day. You will
recall that Jesus said to the Pharisees in Matthew 15:6 .... . Thus have ye made the
commandment of God of none effect by your tradition." And, in verse nine, He accused
them of: "... teaching for doctrines the commandments of men."

The famous Jewish Rabbi, Louis Finklestein, in the foreword to his book The Pharisees.
The Social Background of Their Faith, said:
...Judaism ... Pharisaism became Talmudism, Talmudism became Medieval Rabbinism and
Medieval Rabbinism became Modern Rabbinism. But Through all these changes in name
... the spirit of the ancient Pharisees survived unaltered.... From Palestine, to Babylonia;
from Babylonia to North Africa, Italy, Spain, France and Germany; from there to Poland,
Russia, and Eastern Europe generally, ancient Pharisaism has wandered.... (Demonstrating
the enduring importance which is attached to Pharisaism as a religious movement. Ed.)

In order for us to better understand The Talmud, we must first look at the men who were
responsible for compiling and writing this reference work over a span of some 1,000
years. The Talmud is the product of a small group of Jewish sages ("profoundly wise
counselors" - The Reader's Digest Great Encyclopedic Dictionary) who lived in the land of
Israel, which is called the Holy Land, and in the land of Babylonia.

Four facts emerge regarding the "wise men" who contributed to The Talmud and about
the social environment at the time:

1.   They saw themselves as men of wisdom. This view of themselves led to the emphasis
of two instructions:
     A.   Learning what was already known.
     B.   Understanding the new in terms of the old.

2.   These wise men perceived that the land they dwelt in, Palestine, was holy.

3.   They lived in a time of religious ferment in which religions were coming into being and
fading away. The first century marked the beginning of Christianity.

4.   They we re comprised exclusively of men. This should come as no surprise since men
of antiquity had a low opinion of women. The Christian Apostle Paul taught that they
should be silent in the church. Philo, a Jewish philosopher, taught that sexual relations
were permissible only to produce children. Hyrcanus, a first century Rabbi said that a Jew
should not teach his daughter the TORAH.

The rabbis were not the ones who held power in the Jewish community. In the first
century A.D., Judea, and those who lived there who had become known as Jews, were
under Roman control, and Babylonia was a province in the Persian (Iranian) Empire. But
the day-to-day governing of the Jewish people was left in the hands of a Jewish authority
who, when holding the title, was called the EXILARCH. This meant he was the ruler of
the Jewish community while they were in exile from the Holy Land. He was recognized by
the Romans because he served the purposes of Rome. When these Judahites lived in their
own land, the leaders were called "PATRIARCHS" and they ran the country to maintain
the peace and well-being of the people.
 
Both the EXILARCH and the PATRIARCH had one thing in common; they both claimed
Davidic descent. This did not mean they could trace their genealogy back to David, but
each supposed his family was one of those who might produce the coming King-Messiah.

The Maccabees claimed this as did King Herod, who was an Edomite. The rabbis formed
the religious and political movements of the land. There were two major political parties,
the Sadducees and the Pharisees. They served in the government of the EXILARCH or
PATRIARCH. The rabbi taught that when all Jews did as he did, then the Messiah would
come. One of them was quoted as saying: If all the Jews will keep the Sabbath for one
time only, the Messiah will come.

The rabbis stood apart from the regular Jewish populace and encompassed the myths
revealed in The BABYLONIAN TALMUD which centered on Moses and the story of his
piety. They teach that due to the piety of Moses, God gave him the Law twice; once orally
and the other in God's own handwriting. And, they hold that just as God had given Moses
the Law, or the TORAH, they would teach it to their disciples in the same manner.

The rabbis taught that Moses was a rabbi, and for the rabbis, God dons ecclesiastical garb
and wears the phylactery which is two small leather cases holding slips inscribed with
Scripture passages. One is fastened to the forehead and one to the left arm. The rabbis
teach that they study the TORAH on earth as God and the angels study it in heaven. These
heavenly school teachers are aware of the Babylonian discussions and enjoy the
exceptional grace of heaven. They want to transform the entire Jewish community into an
academy where the TORAH is studied and kept because they believe Jews will be
redeemed by keeping the TORAH (Law). This is one of the major dividing points between
Judaism and Christianity for Christians are taught: For by
grace are ye saved; through faith....(Ephesians 2:8)

The Jew is taught that he merits God's favor by obeying the Torah. Thus each Jew
becomes a rabbi as he practices the commandments and does good deeds. When all Jews
become rabbis, then the Messiah will come.

The rabbinical religion consists of two elements. One is the esoteric, secret doctrines
pertaining to the very essence of God, and the second is an often self-centered view of
man's relationship to God. If a Jew sins by omission (by not doing something), he will be
held responsible and punishment will follow here and now through physical suffering. If
people who are wicked prosper, or if they do not sin and suffer, the rabbi always has an
easy explanation for it.

Other elements of rabbinical theory center on demons, witchcraft and incantations;
revelations through omens, dreams and astrology; the value of prayer and magic formulas;
rabbinical blessings and curses and the merit gained through study of the TORAH.

The rabbis believe in invisible beings which populate space and carry out Divine orders.
The prayers of the rabbis center on four major themes:

1.   The temple and its cult.

2.   The wrath of God.

3.   The humility and helplessness of men.

4.   The ideas and sacred symbols found in the TALMUD.

A world of difference separates the ordinary Jew from the rabbi. The rabbi is separated
because his social life is completely alien to that of outsiders, and because of his study.
The Jewish people listen to the Scriptures and to the TORAH as it is read in the
synagogue. They observe the Sabbath and most of the ritualistic laws, but they understand
the TORAH and The Talmud about as much as the average Christian understands the
Bible. When a question arises, just as in the Christian realm, instead of searching for the
answer themselves, they go to the rabbi just as the Christian goes to his pastor. The rabbis
teach that what the average Jew does not understand about God, they, the rabbis, do
understand. This is really not so much different from the dogmas of some preachers.

The Hebrew word MISHNAH is from a root word which means "to repeat." The
TALMUD teaches that Moses received the TORAH on Mt. Sinai; once in written form on
stone by God Himself and the other by oral instructions which were to be passed on by
repetition, or through memory. These have been handed down for many generations.

The MISHNAH is divided into six major sections entitled, "Orders," or, in Hebrew,
SEDER. The first deals with agricultural law and is the ZERAIM, meaning "seeds." The
second is the Sabbath and festival law, called MOED, meaning season." The third deals
with the family, various vows, oaths, marriage, divorce and inheritance and it is called
NASHIM, meaning "women." The fourth concerns civil law, torts, damages, criminal law
and punishments and is called NEZIKIN meaning "damages." The fifth deals with
sacrifices and things pertaining to the temple in Jerusalem, such as the order and cult of
animal sacrifices. It is called KODASHIM, meaning "holy things."

The MISHNAH orders are sub-divided into sections called TRACATES of which there
are 63. The six major sections of the Orders, are divided as follows: ZERAIM, 11
tracates, with 74 chapters;  MOED has 12 TRACATES with 88 chapters; NASHIM,
seven tracates with 71 chapters; NEZIKIN, ten tracates with 73 chapters; KODASHIM,
11 tracates with 91 chapters, and TOHAROT, with 12 tracates and 126 chapters. It is
obvious we are dealing with a book a good deal larger than our Holy Bible.

The MISHNAH is comprised principally of the sayings of the rabbis who lived in the first
and second centuries. There is very little written before the destruction of the Temple in
Jerusalem in 70 A.D. (That can be explained by the fact that prior to the Babylonian
captivity, the Judahites were under a patriarchal system and worshiped God as prescribed
by their forefathers and the Scriptures. During the captivity, those Judahites who were
taken captive by Babylonia adopted much of the mysticism and occultism of their captors
and mixed it with the belief structure they had at the time. That is when The Talmud came
into existence, and following the destruction of the Temple, the opinions of the rabbis
began to be written down as "law." These opinions were largely the "traditions" they had
gleaned from their captors by mixing God's Law with man's mysticism and occultism.) It is
a document of imagination and fantasy, describing how things are using but shreds and
remnants of reality. It tells how things were or how the rabbis wanted them to be. It is an
orderly document, narrow-minded, dull and very routine.

No wonder Judaism has so little comfort to offer its adherents. It lacks hope of sins
forgiven, no hope for the future; their god is money, and their holy city is not old
Jerusalem, but New York City. More Jews are leaving old Palestine to come to America
than there are migrating to it.

The aftermath of the Jewish rebellion against Rome in 132-135 A.D. was that the temple
site was permanently prohibited to Jews, and Jerusalem became a closed city to them.

A REVIEW OF DR. NEUSNER'S BOOK - INVITATION TO THE TALMUD:

This is a capsule introduction to The Talmud. Only the surface has been scratched, but
you now have a working knowledge of its origin. In the coming chapters, we will examine
the book itself. First, we will discuss Dr. Jacob Neusner's comments from his book,
Invitation to the Talmud. which can be purchased at many Christian book stores. Then we
will allow The Talmud to reveal itself. From an in-depth study done by Elizabeth Dilling
entitled, The Plot to Destroy Christianity, you will see some reproduced pages from The
Babylonian Talmud.

Dr. Neusner admits that The Babylonian Talmud is a vast compilation of Jewish law and
fairy tales. At this point it is appropriate to read what our Holy Scriptures have to say
about fables.

As I urged you upon my departure for Macedonia, remain on at Ephesus, in order that you
may instruct certain men not to teach strange doctrines, nor to pay attention to myths and
endless genealogies, which give rise to mere speculation rather than furthering God's
provision which is by faith. (I Timothy 1 :3-4)

But have nothing to do with worldly fables fit only for old women. On the other hand,
discipline yourself for the purpose of godliness;.... (I Timothy 4:7)
 
For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have
their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own
desires; (II Timothy 4:3-4)

This testimony is true. For this cause reprove them severely that they may be sound in the
faith, not paying attention to Jewish myths and commandments of men who turn away
from the truth. (Titus 1:13-14)

For we did not follow cleverly devised tales when we made known to you the power and
coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of His majesty. (II Peter 1:16)

This latter verse indicates that Christians are not to follow "cunningly devised fables
(tales)." Unfortunately, many Christians have overlooked this admonition in their
eagerness to accept Jewish teachings as the truth.

The vast work of The Babylonian Talmud was put together by Jewish rabbis from
Palestine and Babylonia between the first and seventh centuries A.D. The Talmud attempts
to compel interest by approaching all problems from a "rational," rather than a "spiritual"
perspective. Neusner states that a study of The Talmud allows a disciplined intellect to
exercise itself through clean, sustained, and vigorous argument. How clean this argument
is will be clearly seen when we delve into The Talmud itself.

The Talmud is not an ordinary document of antiquity. It is the "heart's blood of the Jewish
religion." To understand the Jewish mind, you must know something about his Talmud.
The ability to enter a discussion on the issues and arguments of these learned rabbis is, to
the Jews, a measure of intellect, piety and the virtue of holiness.
 
My Christian friends, wake up and realize that we are engaged in a struggle for the souls
of men and women and for their freedom. It is a struggle between those who, as Dr.
Neusner says, put their faith in the "traditions of men" and those of us who believe in
"faith" which, according to Hebrews 11:1, is: ...the substance of things hoped for, the
evidence of things not seen.

Neusner claims that while Gentile (who, according to Jews, are non-Jews) skepticism
yields corrosive and negative results, that of the Talmudic skeptic produces "measured,
restrained, limited insight." (Such as the restraint that is being shown to thousands of
Palestinian Christians by the Israeli.)

For The Talmud, the alternative is not faith, as the Christian knows it, but a blind reliance
on the arguments of rabbis, thousands of years dead, few of whom can agree on anything.

The Talmud, unlike the Holy Bible, conforms to the social pressures of the community.
When the Bible says in Exodus 23:2: Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do evil,....

The Talmud says:
Let's see what the ancient rabbis have to say about it then we will decide.

Where the Christian Bible says:
Thus saith the Lord!

The Talmud says:
Thus saith rabbi so-and-so.

The Talmudic rabbis, like their liberal counterparts today, believed that "environment, or
society, forms the individual." So they teach that in order for man to be righteous in the
eyes of God, he must give strict observance to the rabbinical laws not as laid down by
God, but as interpreted by the ancient rabbis. So the Jew concentrates on such things as
racial issues and uses the other races whom he despises and calls "goyim" (non-Jew
animals) for his ulterior purposes in changing society to conform to his ideas and his
one-world objectives. He is willing to use the black man as cannon fodder in a racial
conflict if it will further his desired changes in the world. You will come to understand this
more fully as The Talmud itself reveals beliefs and practices toward the goyim. In his
review, Dr. Neusner adheres closely to the positive aspects of Talmudic teaching and
makes no references whatsoever to the unnatural teachings toward the non-Jew.

The Talmud teaches that among the Talmudic sages there were literal miracle workers,
sort of Jewish Oral Roberts, I guess. But while the so-called miracle workers of
Christianity are usually found in the realm of physical healing and the casting out of
demons, in the world of The Talmud they are the lawyer-magicians of Babylonia, skilled in
the occult practices of the CABALA. This is the occult philosophy of the Talmudists
based on mystical interpretation of Scripture.

While the Talmudists make much of their appeal to reason and human deduction, the
religion of Judaism is actually rooted and grounded in the mystic occult superstitions of
ancient Babylonia. This approach to life is that of the secular humanists which is directly
opposed to everything which is taught in the Bible. We read in Jeremiah of the Christian
concept of man. The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can
know it? (Jeremiah 17:9)

The Talmudists say that man's actions are governed by his environment and his obedience
to the rabbinical laws. James 4:1 says that, wars and fightings of mankind come because of
their lusts and goes on to warn in James 1:1 4-15: But every man (or woman, Ed.) is
tempted when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. Then when lust has
conceived, it bringest forth sin: and sin, (which Scripture defines as "transgression of
God's Law" - I John 3:4, Ed.) when it is finished, bringeth forth death.

Can you see the difference between the two avenues of thinking? One excuses man for
anything he does, while Christianity holds him accountable since he is capable of knowing
the difference between right and wrong and has the power to choose which path he will
take.

The Talmudists say:
Put men and women in the proper environment and they will become as God.

Christians say:
There must be a change of heart. Ye MUST be born again! (John 3:3)

Dr. Neusner makes a remark on page 287 which cannot be substantiated in Jewish life. He
states that the teaching of The Talmud brings about a: renunciation of brute power,
affirmation of the force of ideas and reason ... these represent the Jewish discovery.

Tell this to the Palestinians who have been driven from their homes by the Israeli and who
are now being subject to as much brutality as Hitler ever exhibited against the Jews. This
idea is prevalent in Jewry. Not so long ago I listened to a radio talk show broadcast from
Atlanta, Georgia. A caller was decrying the suffering of the Palestinians when a woman
called in to the show. She identified herself as a Jewess. With supreme arrogance she said:
Why are you so concerned about the Arabs? After all, they are only animals!

On page 291 of Neusner's book he represents the Jewish attempts to neutralize and
eventually destroy Christianity, by saying:
The Talmud raised abiding skepticism about what people offered as salvation as the final
solution to the problems of the human condition. The Talmudists did not expect final
solutions and were trained to ask devastating questions about their finality. The Talmud
readied the Jews for the modern situation of doubt, of provisional truths, and hypotheses
subject to testing and revision.

It is for this reason that Judaism is built upon the foundation of shifting sand. It can be
revised in any age, to fit the whims of the people. It fits Paul's admonition in II Timothy
4:3-4:
For the time will come when they (the people) will not endure (put up with) sound
doctrine; but after their own lusts (desires for material things) shall they heap to
themselves teachers, having itching ears; and they shall turn away their ears from the truth,
and shall be turned into fables.

Have you ever wondered why Santa Claus and the Easter bunny have become more
important to many so-called Christians than Jesus Christ? Think about it.

Dr. Neusner's comments on page 292 show why the Apostle Paul said these strange alien
people are "contrary to all men" (I Thessalonians 2:15). Dr. Neusner states:
The best proof of the duty to make reasonable decisions among unreasonable alternative
was the Jews themselves, who, because of their international character and their memories
of many lands and empires, saw the world in all its complex plurality (this is the Jewish
one-world mentality, Ed.) but they chose to form the most vivid and intense of all groups,
to sustain what is after all the most particular (and peculiar, Ed.) of all literary traditions,
the Talmud itself. Yet they did so in full knowledge that their group (Jews, Ed.) was not
co-extensive (having extent with time and place, Ed.) with society ....

This is one of the reasons Jews were expelled from every country in Europe at one time or
other. It was not because they were "God's chosen people whom Satan hated," as Baptist
evangelist Jack Van Impe implies, but because of their anti-social, treasonous efforts
against every people who tried to help them. This is one of the major reasons that
American Jews, citizens of this country who have pledged their loyalty to America, will
nevertheless give their first loyalty to world Judaism and its international government. This
is why we have seen so many Jews tried for treason in America since World War II. Their
first loyalty is to World Zionism and any program, or political persuasion, which will
further its purpose.

A completely reliable English translation of The Babylonian Talmud was published in
England by the Soncino Press between 1935 and 1948 in thirty-five volumes. These
translations were accompanied by brief notes which explained the passages. A close
perusal of Neusner's book will reveal that he deliberately avoided mentioning any part of it
which might be repulsive to the Christian. There are many examples of these passages, and
we will look at a few as we progress in our study. These are often morally reprehensible
and full of outright hatred of Jesus Christ and anything pertaining to His church.

TALMUDIC INFLUENCE
CHAPTER THREE

Many people have remarked about the propensity of the Jew, both men and women, to use
filthy language. They have an inborn love of dirty jokes, the filthier the better. The Jewish
comedian earns his living from the brainwashed goyim by telling filthy stories. My wife
and I took a recent cruise from Argentina to the Barbados and this fact became
increasingly obvious. About a third of the approximately thousand passengers were Jews.
During the passenger's Talent Night, two Jews, an elderly man and woman, took part.
They told dirty jokes, the man telling some which were so dirty that I would have been
embarrassed to have heard them in an all-men audience. Where do the Jews get this bent
toward mental filthiness? It comes straight from this literary work, the Babylonian
Talmud, which Dr. Neusner praises as "clean, brilliant, complete, elegant ... a thing of
splendor." You can make this determination for yourself as we progress further into this
study.

Neusner claims that the writers of The Talmud were not only forerunners of the German
"rational professors," but they were holy men. It was "rational German-Jewish professors"
who took the Christian world down the road from faith to doubt as they attempted to
rationalize the spiritual truths in our Christian Bible with their higher criticism. Neusner
claims that the Jewish rabbis lead men to reason, where our finite mind becomes a
counterpart with the infinite, omniscient mind of God Himself.

This type of thinking was reflected in the teaching of the German-Jew, Ludwig Fuerbach,
over one hundred years ago when he stated: Man will finally be truly free when he realizes
there is no god of man but man himself.

This idea became so deeply ingrained in the mind of a young Jewish radical named Karl
Mordecai Marx that it became the foundation of modern Communism.

The Jewish faith is reflected in the Talmudic myth which teaches that God Himself studies
the Torah, with Moses and the heavenly academy, and that He reads it standing up so
great is His respect for it. This myth goes on to state that when a problem arises in heaven,
God asks the earthly rabbis for advice on how to handle it. This transcends some of the
arrogance even seen in the Christian pulpits.

The Babylonian Talmud begins with page two, since the rabbis teach there is "no
beginning." A page from The Talmud is called a FOLIO which in Hebrew means "tablet."
The obverse is called "a" side, while the reverse is "b." Therefore, when you see the
designation BERAKHOTH, 51 b and 52a, you know what section of The Talmud to look
in and the portion of each page that is referenced. The comments in these sections are
usually made by some well-known rabbi of the past. In the case of BERAKHOTH, the
commentary is by Rabbi Solomon bar Isaac, known as Roshi Abbi Clomo Benishag, who
lived in Troyes, France, from about 1040 to 1105 A.D. Roshi is one of the major figures in
the history of Judaism because of his commentaries on The Talmud.

The GEMERA section of The Talmud serves as a commentary on the MISHNAH and is
the product of about three centuries of Jewish teaching. It comes from an Aramaic word
which means "the learning," or "commentary" on the MISHNAH.

The Babylonian Talmud covers a "tracate" of some 63 volumes which will fill a 12 foot
bookcase. It is huge. It takes for granted that its students have a full knowledge of Jewish
"cultic purity."

Cultic impurity is acquired by coming into contact with what is called a "Father, child or
offspring of uncleanliness." For instance, contact with a dead body, contact with a person
having a transmittable disease, objects made of metal, wood, bone or cloth are also
believed to be "fathers of uncleanliness," if they have been touched by a dead body.

Food and liquids also can be considered unclean. But unclean food does not render dishes
or eating utensils unclean. A liquid that has been made unclean by coming into contact
with a "father of uncleanliness" will make a vessel unclean if it touches the inside of the
vessel. If food touches a person or vessel which is unclean, it automatically becomes
unclean. It is not always necessary to wash your hands before eating to prevent
uncleanness, but do as Rav taught and cover them with a napkin.

It is this Pharisaical nit-picking over uncleanliness which Neusner calls "literary greatness,"
but which caused Jesus to address the Pharisees in Matthew 23:25-27 in the following
manner:
 
"Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the
cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess. Thou blind
Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the cup and platter, that the outside of them
may be clean also. Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto
whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead
men's bones, and of all uncleanness."

In Mark 7:3-9 the Christ said:
 
For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, except they wash their hands oft, eat not, holding the
tradition of the elders. And when they come from the market, except they wash, they eat
not. And many other things there be, which they have received to hold, as the washing of
cups, and pots, brasen vessels, and of tables. Then the Pharisees and scribes asked him,
Why walk not thy disciples according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with
unwashen hands? He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you
hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me (God) with their lips, but their heart
is far from me. How be it in vain do they (the Jews) worship me, teaching for doctrines the
commandments of men. For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition
of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do. And he
said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.

This is the stupidity of Judaism as it is taught by The Babylonian Talmud.

The rabbis reveled in nit-picking. For example, they wrote that any common food which
they deemed unclean would be unfit for the Temple heave offering. They even went as far
as to declare "four removes," which were stages of uncleanliness.

The rabbis who wrote these purity rules ("commandments of men" as Jesus called them)
were common folks in Babylon who pretended they were priests. They were the remainder
of the Judahites from the House of Judah who were in exile for their sins. They pretended
that they were eating a meal in the Temple in Jerusalem at the table of God. At this time,
the Temple had been destroyed and there was no such thing as a Jewish nation in existence
anywhere. The bulk of the House of Judah had been carried away by the Assyrians who
scattered them among the House of Israel so that they, too, (just as the northern tribes of
Israel) lost their identity as a kingdom. The rabbis taught that by adhering to the rules they
laid down, one could change the commonplace into the holy. This captured the puzzling
notion that if one preserved the purity of a slice of bread, for instance, you somehow
changed it into "holy shew bread." As a result of these nit-picking rules of men, which
became the "traditions of men" Jesus spoke about, the Jews were taught to eat their meals
in an atmosphere of "cultic purity." Uppermost in their minds was that every aspect of
ritualistic eating must be fulfilled. To their way of thinking, that began with the traditional
grace before meals which said: Blessed art thou, Lord our God, King of the world, who
brings forth bread from the earth.

Therefore the food they ate had to be prepared with special ritualistic procedures. We are
not speaking here of the foods forbidden by the Scriptures such as pork or shell fish, but
of Kosher food which had to be approved by the rabbi to be clean.

The following example will illustrate the ridiculous trivia they mandate and require of their
congregations. The rabbi of the House of Shammai will say, "He wipes his hands with the
napkin and lays it on the table, for if you say 'non the cushion' it is a precautionary decree
lest the liquids which are on the napkin become unclean because of the cushion and when
the napkin is used, it makes the hands unclean."

Another interesting observation is that a Jew may eat "unconsecrated" food without
washing his hands, but it becomes a sin if "consecrated food" is eaten with unwashed
hands. Talk about splitting hairs!

The Babylonian Talmud was originally written in both Hebrew and Aramaic, and most of
The Palestinian Talmud was written in Hebrew. The use of these languages is not
accidental. Therefore, we find that part of The Babylonian Talmud known as the
TANNAIM, which is comprised of "statements of standard law" are in Hebrew, while the
comments and analysis of the AMORAIN, are in Aramaic. The editor's remarks are
normally in Aramaic. Those parts written in Hebrew will appear in normal type, while the
Aramaic bits will be in Italics. Boldfaced type is used for portions of the MISHNAH and
the TOSEFTA.

The idea that the "canon" (body of law) was completed at Mt. Sinai is not accepted by the
rabbis. They say that later teachings of the rabbis, including that which was taught by
themselves, are revelations from God. This means that the basis for Judaistic belief is
constantly open to new canonical authoritative doctrines on both the law and Jewish
theology. One group of rabbis holds the position that: "You must first clean your house
and then wash your hands," while the other adamantly states: "If you say wash the hands
first, it turns out that you spoil the food." On the Sabbath, an orthodox Jew is not
supposed to move something from the private to the domestic domain. The arguments
between the rabbis surge back and forth as the various houses vie for supremacy until the
ordinary Jew is uncertain of what course he should take.

The religious Jew takes for granted that he may make decisions regarding the Gentiles, or
more accurately, the "goyim." Now most of the goyim could care less whether or not the
Jews say a blessing over their candles; or the manner in which they sniff the incense, or sip
their wine.

What difference does it make to us how the Jews do these things? However, the orthodox
Jew believes it makes a great deal of difference. Since the Jews in most ages had very little
control over the outside world, the world of the Gentiles, the rabbis made a grand issue of
enormous consequences the simplest actions on the part of the Jew. When a man sat at the
table to eat, his napkin had to be placed in the correct position or it would become
unclean. In this, he thought he was the priest in the holy Temple.

The rabbis managed to take the common things of life and turn them into things of great
importance. So the Jews were taught that if they obeyed God, no one would ever rule
over them, but if they disobeyed, the heathen would get the upper hand. This, by the way,
is the belief of most Kingdom Movement people, and for once, the Jewish rabbis were
right.

Another Talmudic rule has to do with spices and incense. One rabbi says that if a Jew is
walking outside a village in which most of the inhabitants are non-Jews and he smells a
scent, he does not bless the smell. However, if most of the people who live in the village
are Jews, he blesses it. Another rabbi says that even if most of the villagers are Jews, the
Jew may not bless the smell because Jewish women use incense for witchcraft. Another
rabbi says: "If a Jew is walking in a Gentile market and is pleased with the scent of their
spices, he is a sinner." And on and on it goes!

These teachings are utterly inconsistent with the teachings of Moses, and they are
constantly arguing over non-essentials just as Christian monks once did during the Middle
Ages when a great argument raged over how many angels could dance on the head of a
pin.

Arguments over whether to say "Amen!" over a blessing when you have only heard part of
it; whether to say "Amen!" after the blessing given by children in a schoolhouse; whether
to say a blessing when there is no oil available; whether a physically dirty person is unfit to
say grace; these are all part of the nit-picking that goes on between the rabbis.

An interesting, yet completely nauseating aspect of The Babylonian Talmud is the robust
sexuality of its laws concerning sex and women in particular. For instance, the rabbis love
to refer to a couple who have intercourse all night long and they promise blessings to
those who have sex two or more times in a night. In fact, the more often the better as far
as the rabbis are concerned. But the sex act must be done properly according to their
ritualistic law.

In their theory, if an unmarried man is legally engaged and has sexual relations with an
unmarried woman, the couple are considered to have consummated a legitimate marriage
union and are recorded as being legally married. This is somewhat contrary to any law
Moses ever recorded from God!

The Torah prevents a woman from having sex during her menstrual cycle. Then the
discussion arose among the rabbis over whether it was better to have sex in the light, or in
the dark. Was it all right to have sex in any other than a private condition? The pious
could have sex in the dark, while the ultra-pious cleared the bedroom of flies and
mosquitoes before they engaged in the act. Nothing was said about whether this was for
religious purposes, or for the comfort of the couple so engaged.

The rabbis seemed to believe that a shy, modest person could not learn, so they minced no
words when it came to graphic description of the sex act. Much of it was so filthy that it
would not do to include it in this book. If you want to know why the average Jewish
person seems obsessed with sex, just read The Talmud.

Dr. Neusner freely admits on page 279 in his Invitation to the Talmud, that The Talmud is
"peculiarly modern in its systematic skepticism, its testing of each proposition.... The
Talmudist's first question is 'What is the reason?"' He goes on to say that the Talmudic
approach is to reason things out, rather than accept them on faith. It was this Jewish
thinking that came close to destroying 20th century Christianity through the "higher
criticism" of German-Jewish scholars.

Dr. Benjamin Freedman, a converted Jew, in his extraordinary book, Facts are Facts! said:

For every ounce of good you accomplish through the conversion of a self-styled Jew to
the Christian faith, you do a ton of harm in another direction. Regardless of what anyone,
anywhere and anytime may say, events of recent years, everywhere, have established
beyond the question of doubt, that the Christian faith stands with its foot in the grave and
the other on a banana peel, speaking figuratively.

The Christian faith stands at the crossroads of its destiny. The Divine and Sacred mission
of the Christian faith is in jeopardy today to a degree never witnessed before in its 2,000
years of history.

If the day ever arrives when Christians can no longer profess their faith, as they profess it
now
