All right, it's good to see the faithful that have made it through all the days of the conference, all the soul winning, all the way to the last night. Good job making it through all this. I know I'm sure many of you are very weary. It's been very long days, lots of preaching. Bear with me. I got one hour left to listen to me rattle my cage a little bit about the Jews tonight. But honestly, we have a lot of supporters here, a lot of people who already are on board with the teaching and preaching. Even myself, I'm so thankful for this event because even though I'm on board with this and I believed this for a really long time, I still have learned a lot in the past few days. I'm going to read notes and mental notes and real notes. Going back home, I'm going to go back and study out some of these things. I can't wait until the DVDs are released so I can get them and go through them again because a lot of great teaching has happened already. Now what I'm going to be preaching on tonight, I think it's a relatively simple sermon. I think it's kind of stupid simple, but my hope and my prayer is that I know you guys are on board, but I want this to be able to reach people who have already been deceived by these doctrines and to get on board with just what the Bible clearly teaches. I kind of look at the Bible sometimes and I read through this. There's a great question asked the other night, you know, why is it that this doctrine is even promoted or propped up in so many churches of just being Zionist and, you know, pro-Israel, pro-Jew, all this stuff? Why is that? I don't know. I mean, the Bible can practically slap you in the face with how simple it is to see that Israel has been replaced, that the chosen people of God is a spiritual people, it's believers in Jesus Christ, it's not a physical nation. How many times does God have to say, it's not the physical seed, it's not the seed of Abraham, none of that matters. It's your faith on Jesus. I mean, isn't the whole theme of the Bible putting your faith on the Lord Jesus Christ? So my title of my sermon this evening is the Jews don't follow the Torah, they follow the Talmud. Now, if you're not familiar with those terms, the Torah refers to the first five books of the Bible, the books of Moses. And you see, as you read through the scripture, what do the Pharisees claim? Oh, we believe Moses' writings, we believe what Moses said. But did they really? No. We're going to see it, we're going to get to that. But instead of following the Torah, that's what they'll claim. What they actually follow is the Talmud. And the Talmud is the religion of the Pharisees, and the religion of the Pharisees continues to this day in Judaism. Modern day Judaism is nothing more than the religion of the Pharisees. Now I found this source, someone emailed me this source a few weeks ago, and I'm glad that they did because there's a pretty good definition of what is the Talmud, and this source comes from an article on the Washington Post from September 18th of this year. And the article is titled, The Quest to Put the Talmud Online. And here's what they have to say about the Talmud. The Talmud is a compilation of oral law and discussions by Jewish sages over generations. For religious Jews, it forms one half of the revelation on Sinai along with the Hebrew Bible or Tanakh. Now think about it, let that sink in. Their compilation of these writings, the Talmud, it says that's one half. That comes from one half of what they use as their teaching, you know, in addition to the whole Bible, the whole Old Testament. That's what the Tanakh is going to refer to basically the Old Testament. And that the Talmud is an oral law that they use to interpret and to understand the Scriptures. And here's a quote in that same article, it says, in order to understand the written law, Hebrew Bible, you need the oral law, the Talmud, said Eli Levitonsky, a Shabbat rabbi in Santa Monica, California, studying the Talmud is like sitting in a room with the greatest minds of the Jewish people and you're listening to them, he said. So he's saying in order for you to understand the Bible, you just, you have to have the oral law, you have to have the Talmud. That is what they use, that is what they require, and ultimately, that's what they go back, that is their authority. That's their source. Because if you try to show a Jew anything from the Old Testament, they're going to refer to what the Talmud says. That's their final authority. It's really nothing more than just a commentary on the Bible. So they're relying on a commentary made by multiple sources. Now, you know, the Talmud supposedly comes from this oral tradition that has been passed down all the way from Moses. What they claim is that when Moses received the word of God on Mount Sinai, when he received the law, they had to put the law into practice, right? They say, okay, well, here's the law, and here's the example that they'll use, or that I've seen used as an example. Well, they're talking about a bill of divorcement, right? There's an allowance in the law for someone to get divorced. But the Bible, you know, the law doesn't actually say, you know, what you have to write. How is that all spelled out? So they have this Talmud that's going to tell you all of those little details about everything. And you can sit there and think, well, that kind of makes sense. Yeah, to a degree it makes sense, except when they start putting that above the commandments of God, and then you start using that to just overthrow the commandments of God and make the commandment of God of none effect, which we're going to get into in just a minute. Now, they say that the oral tradition more thoroughly explained the Bible, provides details and exactly how the laws are to be implemented. But this is ultimately what is viewed as the authority for the Jews. The religion of the Jews today, I mentioned this before, it's the same religion that existed during the time of Christ. Now, keep your place here in Mark 7, flip over, if you would, back to John, or forward to John chapter 7, because the answer about Jesus Christ being the Messiah today that a Jew will give you today is basically the same answer that they gave back in Jesus' day. Just one little piece of proof showing you that this is the same exact religion. It's the same exactly, it's the same rabbinical, the rabbi religion of Jesus' day with the Pharisees and the Sadducees, the same one today. You could even find this in Marching to Zion, in the film, where Pastor Anderson's interviewing the multiple rabbis. Look at John 7, verse number 47. The Bible says, Then answered from them the Pharisees, Are ye also deceived? Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed on him? So when people are saying, wow, never man spake like this man spake, they're saying, oh, you're deceived by this guy, by this Jesus? Well, have any of the Pharisees believed? Well, if none of the Pharisees believed, then there's no way he could be the Messiah, and they're relying on their own pompous, puffed up attitude and their own religion to determine whether or not Jesus was the Christ or not. And they were scared by him. They were intimidated by Jesus Christ, and they rejected Jesus Christ. But that's the same answer that you'll hear today. Well, why don't you look at Jesus Christ as a Messiah? Well, none of the Pharisees of the time believed him, so there's no reason why we should believe him. That's what they'll tell you today. The Pharisees are so full of pride, they felt that nobody could understand God's word without them. And this is what happens when you start allowing yourself to be brainwashed into thinking that you're God's chosen people because of your heritage, just because of who you were born by. When you start getting a racist attitude, starting to think that you're better than everybody else, just because of what family you happen to be born into, that somehow that that makes you better than someone else, that goes to your head. And that's going to affect everything about you. That's going to make you start to think, oh, well, these silly people, they can't understand anything. I mean, that's the same attitude the Catholic Church had. You wonder where that influence came from in the Roman Catholic Church with the priesthood. Oh, no, the common man, they can't understand this stuff. Well, it's the same exact attitude that the Jews had. Oh, you can't understand this stuff. We need the Talmud. You need to be listening to a Pharisee. Oh, you people who don't know the law, you're deceived. You don't know anything. You're accepting this Jesus Christ, but there's no way he could possibly be the Messiah because none of us important people who love our long robes and the uppermost room at feasts and to be greeted of men in the marketplace, hey, none of us have accepted this carpenter's son. These Pharisees claimed to believe in the law of Moses or the Torah. Go back if you go to Mark chapter 7 where we started. But Jesus demonstrates that they actually follow their Talmud and not the Torah. He demonstrates this very clearly in Mark chapter 7. Look at verse number 1. We're going to reread some of this. Moses then came together unto him the Pharisees and certain of the scribes which came from Jerusalem and when they saw some of his disciples eat bread with defile, that is to say with unwashing hands, they found fault. For the Pharisees and all the Jews, except they wash their hands oft, eat not, holding the tradition of the elders. Now, we're going to stop right there. What he's saying is that, look, they had this custom, they had this tradition that they're not going to eat any food unless they wash their hands. They wash their hands off and they're real clean. Now, in and of itself, is that some real bad thing? No, we have a custom in the United States of people washing their hands before they eat. I know I usually wash my hands before I eat. The problem comes in is when they start elevating this type of a tradition to being like a commandment of God because that's what their Talmud does. They take these types of traditions and they say, oh, this is all interpreted from God's law. See, well, you need to be washing your hands and if you don't, you're not right with God. That's why it says they found fault with them. Look at verse number four, it says, 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, brazen bezels 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 unwashed hands? Well, they're finding fault and they're accusing these disciples of something. Are they going to the Torah? Are they going to the Bible? Are they saying, look, thus saith the Lord, thou shalt not eat unless thou wash thy hands. No. They're saying, hey, how come they're not following the tradition of the elders? Look, the Talmud says over here, you need to wash your hands. How come they're not doing it? How come they're not obeying that? They're at fault. They need to do this. That is their religion, the same religion of the Jews today. Look at verse number six. He answered and said unto them, well, as the Zias prophesied of you hypocrites, as is written, this people on earth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me. Yeah, they give lip service to the Torah. They give lip service to the Bible. They'll give lip service to Moses, but their heart isn't in it. They don't really care. And sometimes that's the way I feel about some Baptists that'll give lip service to the Bible. They'll get lip service to saying, oh, we're just going to believe the Bible literally. We're going to let the Bible interpret itself. And we're not a respecter of persons until it comes to the Jews. Then all of a sudden they're going to be a respecter of persons. Then all of a sudden they're going to elevate one race above everybody else instead of just letting the Bible interpret itself. Exactly, hypocrites. Verse number seven, how be it in vain do they 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 things ye do. And he's saying, you've put aside the commandment of God. You've put aside the Torah just so you can look and study your Talmud and teach your Talmud. And that's all you care about. That is the religion of the Jews today. It's not a brand new thing. This has been going on for over 2,000 years and it goes back even further than that. We'll get into that in just a minute. Keep reading here. Verse number nine. And not only were they enforcing man-made rules, up to this point we see basically they're coming up with their own rules that they're just equating or putting on the same level as God's laws. But they're not just stopping there. They're actually completely contradicting God's laws through their traditions. Let's see what he says in verse number nine. And he said unto them, full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition. So not only are you teaching things as if it's God's law, but now you're teaching things that contradict God's law. You're going against God's law. You're making it of none effect. And he gives an example here in verse number 10. For Moses said, write the same Moses where they get their Torah from, Moses said, honor thy father and thy mother, and whoso curseth father or mother, let him die the death, amen. But ye say, and this is what God said, this is what Moses said, this is what scripture says, but here's what you say. You say if a man shall say to his father or mother, it is Corban that is to say a gift. I love the Bible because when there's words used, they're just kind of like, what does that mean? There's almost always just given a definition right next to it. It gives you a word, another language. Does it just expect you to go back and learn Hebrew when we have a New Testament, you know, he says, oh, Corban, yeah, that is to say a gift. That's what that means. You don't need to go back and research and say, well, Corban really means this is a sacrifice. God's word, the Holy Ghost tells us it's a gift. That's good enough for me. But ye say if a man shall say to his father or mother, his Corban is to say a gift, by whatsoever that mightest be profited by me, he shall be free. And ye suffer him no more to do ought for his father or his mother, making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered and many such like things do ye. He's saying, this is just one example of many areas where you're making God's commandment of none effect. How do they make God's commandment of none effect? Well, the Bible says that you need to honor your father and mother. Now it says honor. That's not just referring to just showing respect when they speak to you or when you speak to them. It's referring to actually taking care of your parents as they grow old. Why? Because they took care of you when you were an infant, when you were young, when you're growing up, you are now required by God's law to take care of your parents when they get older. That's something that you are required to do. And he says, who so cursed his father or mother, let him die to death. They're supposed to be put to death. He says, but they're saying, well, whatever nice things I do for you and anything that I might do for you, you just consider that a gift. There's a big difference between something being required, something being by the law. No, you have to do this versus, well, I'm going to, whatever I give you, that's just a free gift. Just consider yourself lucky I did anything for you. And according to their Talmud, according to their traditions, the tradition of their elders, their so-called wise Pharisaical rabbis, right, these great teachers, well, so if you give them something, you could just say, it's Corban, that's a gift. Good enough. You've done something for them. You've satisfied the law. When God's saying, no, you need to continue, you need to take care of them. You need to keep taking care of them because they're your parents. You can't just give them one thing and just say, well, that's it, I've satisfied the law. But see, the Pharisees are always looking for a way out of keeping God's laws because they don't really want to keep them. They give lip service to them. They don't believe it in their heart. They don't care about it. They want to do everything they possibly can. That's why they're saying, hey, can a man divorce his wife for every cause? Because they just want to be able to divorce their wife for every reason. They take one little caveat of fornication happening before a marriage is consummated and saying, well, now we can just divorce our wife for every reason. And that's what they want to do and put that into their own tradition, their own laws. So they go through these gymnastics of trying to interpret scripture to just make it okay to say, well, these smart men that came before me said that this is okay, and they really studied the Bible law. They studied God's word. So this is okay. And then they just go and want to rely on that source instead of God's word. The Jews have a religion of tradition that basically can just explain away God's word whenever it's convenient for them. And Christians need to beware of falling into the same trap of tradition that the Jews fell into. The Jews cared more about the commentary on God's word than they did about God's actual written word. Now, I heard a term from Pastor Anderson this weekend that I thought is great, the Dispees. And I remember the Dispees, right? So how do I use that term? The Dispees. The Dispees use the Schofield commentary as their final authority, similar to the Jews using a Talmud. That's their go-to for understanding God's word. Well, the Schofield reference, but now they won't want to come out and say that. But that's exactly what they're doing because they're not getting that from Scripture, not just getting that from God's word. We can easily see that the modern Judaism traces back to the Pharisees and Sadducees of Jesus' time. However, the Antichrist religion of Judaism is even older than that. It's almost as old as Christianity itself. Now, let me explain myself when I say that because people have a hard time with this concept, especially the Hindus, right? The Hindus will say, we have the oldest religion in the world, right? Our religion dates back to, no. You know what the oldest religion in the world is? Christianity. Now, it hasn't always been known by the name Christianity. That's a newer term. But the religion is still the same. God is still the same. Christianity goes back to Genesis chapter 1. It's the same Lord. It's the same God. Jesus Christ has been prophesied through the whole Old Testament. You're in Luke 24. Look at what it says in verse number 25, then he said unto them, O fools and slow of heart to believe, all that the prophets have spoken ought not Christ to have suffered these things and to enter in his glory. And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them and all the scriptures, the things concerning himself. This is Jesus Christ after the resurrection explaining to some disciples who he was and how everything that happened to him had to happen the way it did because all of the law of Moses and all of the prophets already foretold of all of these things is always about Christ. All the way back. It's always been about Christ. Jump down to verse number 44 in Luke 24. And he said unto them, these are the words which I spake unto you while I was yet with you that all things must be fulfilled which were written in the law of Moses and in the and in the Psalms concerning me. Then opened he their understanding that they might understand the scriptures and said unto them, thus it is written and thus it behooved Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead the third day and that repentance and remission of sin should be preached in his name among all nations beginning at Jerusalem. Isn't that the gospel? It goes back for all of the Bible, all of biblical history. Heaven is the oldest religion. I'm not going to go through. I have other passages here. You can look at this up later. You can look in Acts chapter 3. You can look in Acts chapter 10 and in many other places where there's references like Acts 3, 24. Yeah, and all the prophets from Samuel knows that follow after as many as have spoken have likewise foretold of these days. It's always been about Jesus Christ. You can see that Christianity is a religion of the Old and New Testament which dates back to creation in Genesis chapter 1. The religion of the Pharisees has been around since Cain slew Abel. Turn to Matthew chapter 23. It is the works-based religion that has always persecuted the true faith-based religion all throughout history. This is where Judaism has its roots going back to Cain and Abel, and it truly is the archenemy of Christianity. We see some of the harshest reactions from Jesus Christ when dealing with the Pharisees. We see him flipping over the tables and driving people out of the temple. Who was running the temple? Who was in charge of those things? It was the Pharisees. They're the ones operating the business in the house of God. And if you've ever read Matthew 23 before, I think this is probably, I mean, just for the extended, I mean, the entire chapter, he's ripping face on the Pharisees. Woe unto you, scribes, Pharisees, hypocrites. Woe unto you, scribes, Pharisees, hypocrites. Verse after verse after verse saying, you're white and sepulchres. You're damned. How can you escape the damnation of hell? Read through the, you know, let's start reading through that. Let me get there myself, Matthew 23, Matthew 23, just to drive the point home a little bit about how Jesus Christ felt about the Pharisees. Because you know what the Pharisees are? The Jews. Now if this is how Jesus Christ is speaking to the Jews of his time, the religious Pharisees, the religious Jews of his time, what are the Christians doing today? Oh, hey, can you come into our church? Can you teach us a little bit about your culture? We want to understand more about the Jews. Here we'll give you some, we'll give you some money. We'll bless you financially. Whatever you need, we're just going to bless you. Here's what Jesus had to say to the Pharisees. Verse number one, then spake Jesus to the multitude and his disciples saying, the scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat, all therefore whatsoever they bid you observe that observe and do. But do not ye after their works for they say and do not for they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be born and lay them on men's shoulders. But they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers, but all their works they do for to be seen of men. They're hypocrites. They make broad their phylacteries and enlarge the borders of their garments and love the uppermost rooms at feasts and the chief seats in the synagogues and greetings in the markets and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi. But be not ye called Rabbi for one is your master, even Christ and all ye are brethren. You know the word Rabbi means master. Talk about something going to your head. Master, master, tell me what God's word says. That's blasphemous if you're talking to anyone other than Jesus Christ. Verse number nine, and call no man your father upon the earth for one is your father, which is in heaven. Neither be ye called masters for one is your master, even Christ, but he that is greatest among you shall be your servant and whosoever shall exalt himself shall be a base and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted. Verse number 13 is when he really starts laying into him. But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men, for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in. Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, for ye devour widows' houses and for a pretense make long prayer. Therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation. Look at some of the things he's saying. First he's saying that you're not allowing people to get saved and go to heaven. And then he says, what are they doing? They're devouring widows' houses. They're supposed to be supporting widows and helping widows, but they're so wicked in their heart that they're stealing from them and they're devouring. And while they're doing all that, they're just making these long prayers and making themselves look all religious and spiritual. Take note. This is how Jesus is describing the Pharisees, aka the Jews. Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, for ye can pass thee in land to make one proselyte and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves. Woe unto you, ye blind guides, which say, whosoever shall swear by the temple is nothing, but whosoever shall swear by the gold of the temple, he is a debtor. Yeah, it's all about the gold, right? That's what they care about. Verse 17, ye fools and blind, for whether is greater, the gold or the temple that sanctifieth the gold. And whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing, but whosoever shall swear by the gift that is upon it, he is guilty. Ye fools and blind, for whether is greater, the gift or the altar that sanctifieth the gift. Whoso, therefore, shall swear by the altar, swearth by it and by all things thereon. And whoso shall swear by the temple, swearth by it and by him that dwelleth therein. And he that shall swear by heaven, swearth by the throne of God and him that sitteth thereon. Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, for ye pay tithe of mint and anise of cumin and have omitted the weightier matters of the law. They don't care about the law. They omit it. It means they leave it out. They leave out the Torah. Why? Because they have their Talmud. Judgment, mercy, and faith, these ought ye to have done and not to leave the other undone. Be blind guides which strain at a gnat and swallow a camel. They're nitpicking all the little things. Oh, your disciples didn't wash their hands. But they swallowed a camel of not putting their faith in Jesus Christ. Let's start with that first and then worry about the hand-washing thing, never. Verse number 25, woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, for ye may 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. Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity. Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, because ye build the tombs of the prophets and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous and say, if we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets. And this is where I'm getting into my point about how far back the Jews' religion goes, this Judaism. Because the Pharisees of Jesus' day, they're decorating these tombs, oh, they're trying to give lip service to all the great men of God, right? The prophets, Jeremiah, oh, these were great men of God. And look, if we had been around in that, you know, we wouldn't have lowered Jeremiah into that pit. We wouldn't have done that to the prophets. We wouldn't have killed the prophets like our fathers did. Jesus says in verse 31, wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves that ye are the children of them which killed the prophets. And he's talking not just physically, but spiritually, says you're just like your Judaic parents that killed the prophets. You're just like them, fill ye up then the measure of your fathers. Verse number 33, ye serpents, he's called them snakes, ye generation of vipers, how can you escape the damnation of hell? Now where else in the Bible are we seeing Jesus getting this mad and this upset and just railing and just going up on people? It's in regards to the Pharisees. Look at verse number 34, wherefore behold I send unto you prophets and wise men and scribes and some of them ye shall kill and crucify and some of them shall you scourge in your synagogues and persecute them from city to city. Look at verse 35, that upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zechariah son of Barakas whom ye slew between the temple and the altar. So where is Jesus Christ laying the blame going all the way back to Abel being killed, to the Pharisees, to the religion of the Jews? That's where the blame's going. It's been around for a long time. It's been crept in the whole time alongside the right religion. Right there when Elijah and Elisha and Jeremiah and Isaiah and Daniel, when all the prophets have been preaching the truth of God's word, it's always been there opposing, persecuting, and trying to silence the truth. It's always been there doing that and they're still doing that today. Did it sound like Jesus Christ was blessing the Pharisees? Now let me get this right, are the Pharisees Jews? Aren't we supposed to bless the Jews? So what happens to those that aren't blessing Israel? Are you going to apply that to Jesus Christ? This is an important truth to understand. The distinction between what the Jews really believe in Christianity because many people today believe that the Jews, they're basically Christians just without Jesus. This is a very common belief. It's common by people who don't read their Bible at all, but this is what's being pushed on the ignorant Christians out there. Did you ever hear the term Judeo-Christian? You wonder where that comes from? They're just trying to merge. See, Christianity has its roots in Judaism. No it doesn't. No it doesn't. They're completely separate. One claims to believe in the law of Moses, the other one actually does. All of the pro-Israel, Zionist, Jew worshiping preaching makes the ignorant Christian assume they're practically the same. The claim is that the Jews follow the Torah, but that is patently false. The Jews don't believe Moses, otherwise they would have believed Jesus. Look at verse number 45 in John chapter 5. Do you not think that I will accuse you to the Father? There is one that accuseth you, even Moses, in whom ye trust. For had you believed Moses, you would have believed me, for he wrote of me. But if you believe not his writings, how shall you believe my words? It didn't matter what Jesus Christ said to them, they already didn't believe Moses. They kept trying to use Moses against Jesus, but they didn't believe it. They didn't believe him, they didn't believe Jesus Christ because they didn't believe any of it. We are not Judeo-Christian. If you don't have Jesus Christ, you don't have the Father. They're not just worshiping the Father, but they just don't really know Jesus Christ. They're not worshiping the Father. The Bible says in 1 John 2-22, who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist that denieth the Father and the Son. Who is out there today as a religion saying Jesus is not the Christ? There is a Christ, but it's not Jesus Christ, it's the Jews. What does the Bible say? They're liars. Oh, I know what we should do. Let's give them a bunch of money, let's invite them to our churches, let's wave their flag around. Hey, all the liars. All right, we want to support you, we love you, oh bless you. It's wicked as hell. Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father, but he that acknowledges the Son hath the Father also. They don't have the Father because they don't have the Son. Proving that modern day Jews do not follow the Torah is very clearly evidenced as well. You could just look at their practice. What part of the Old Testament do they follow at all? Good luck finding something. And I don't care what group you look at. I know that there's different groups, I know that there's conservative and orthodox and reformed and all these various sects within Judaism as a whole, similar to like there is in just about every other religion. But just find me one that's out there keeping the Old Testament laws. Find me one. They don't exist because they don't really care about the law of Moses. I could find you a bunch that are going to look to the Talmud and look to other writings, but they're not following the Torah. I'm going to close on this. And if this doesn't get you, I don't know how you could possibly say you love our Savior, Jesus Christ, if you're going to support any of these Christ-rejecting Jews. When you know what the Talmud actually says about our Savior, Jesus Christ, the blasphemy, the gut-wrenching blasphemy, what the Talmud says about Jesus Christ. The Talmud says that Jesus Christ was a bastard son, born of an adulterous woman, and her Roman soldier lover, and that he practiced magic, that Jesus was a sorcerer, and that he was a failed proselyte of the rabbis, and he was rebellious, and that now he's burning in excrement. Talk about a people that hate Jesus Christ. What else can you possibly come up with? But we're going to say, oh, I love those people. You know, there's a good reason why the Jew is so hard to reach with the Gospel. There's a very good reason. When you have trash like that in your books that you're using to promote your religion, your tradition of the elders, that's going to get to your head. It's wicked as hell, and no Christian should have any involvement supporting such wickedness. Just as the prophet said to Jehoshaphat when he helped Ahab, you know, the wrath of the Lord has come upon you for loving those that hate God. We should have nothing to do with the Jews today other than preach them the Gospel. That's it. We love them enough to preach them the Gospel, but we are not going to support them, elevate them, give them money, hold rah-rah service, and wave their flag around trying to promote them as a nation. Spawrides, I have a word of prayer. Dear Heavenly Father, Lord, we thank you so much for the clear teaching in Scripture. God, I pray that you please help us not to be deceived in the way that the Jews were, dear Lord, and falling back onto religion and commentaries of men, but that we can just open up the Scripture for ourselves and let the Holy Spirit guide us and lead us into all truth and wisdom. Lord, I pray that you please bless all the preaching that was here and that these messages will get out worldwide and that many believers' eyes would be opened to the truth about this and just get on the right side of this issue. In the Lord's name we pray, amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen.
