The Exoneration of Paul,
The Apostle to the Israelites of the Dispersion,
Or, Proof From the Greek that Paul Is Neither a Universalist Nor an Antinomian
Part 1, An Overview
By Pastor Eli James

General Approach
I don’t like to mince words. I tell it like it is! There are enough people out there serving stale cookies and lukewarm tea! I’m not going to do that. I have only one agenda: the Truth, the Whole Truth and nothing but the Truth, no matter whom it offends!!! I figure, sooner or later, the disciple of God’s Word will get tired of dull talk, regurgitated pablum, and the same old unverifiable tales that come from the Judeo-Christian pulpit. Real Christians want the Bible to make sense! They don’t want to accept unexplained contradictions or nonsensical interpretations of Scripture. Sooner or later, you’ll want some real food. Even if someone only skims the pages of this four-part essay, perhaps a seed will be planted; and it may eventually blossom.
Although I am not conversant in either Greek or Hebrew, my main focus, as a Bible scholar, has been to determine the EXACT MEANINGS of words as they were employed by the original authors, in the languages they used. I have done this by using dictionaries, lexicons, concordances and Bible commentaries. Often, these sources radically disagree with accepted translations. So, it is incumbent upon us to avail ourselves of these resources. This is what most of us in Christian Identity do when we come across passages and verses that either make no sense or are contradictory.
In addition, I have come to rely heavily on WORD STUDIES, which means investigating how particular words are used in their various places in Scripture. This process allows us to compare the definitions given in the concordances and lexicons, in order to see if these words are actually used as defined! And this is often not the case!! If a Hebrew word is translated in a suspicious or odd way, a word study will reveal this fact. Sometimes, translations are quite bizarre and unacceptable. Word studies help to reveal such oddities, without having to know the original languages themselves.
There are many words in the Hebrew and Greek that have been very poorly translated into English. This is also true for other modern translations, such as the German, Russian and other languages. In general, I can say without fear of reproof, that most modern translations of the Bible are riddled with universalistic distortions. This is the result of an editorial agenda, going back to the Council of Nicea, when the “Canon” was determined. The entire process of universalization, which continues today, has emasculated the original language, watering it down and often reversing the actual meanings of the original words.
I will provide numerous examples of such distortion throughout this work. This editorial agenda has been especially and masterfully employed in the Epistles of Paul; and this is why Paul’s work has been so terribly misunderstood. In addition, modernistic interpretations of Paul border on both the inane and the insane, as I will demonstrate in Parts 2 & 3, where I will discuss Universalism and Antinomianism, respectively. Part One will deal primarily with generally accepted errors of translation and interpretation. Before it is possible to understand how Paul’s writings can be so horribly distorted, it is necessary to know how other books of the Bible have been distorted, as these techniques of falsification are especially intense in Paul’s Epistles.
This type of information is absolutely crucial to comprehending how the traditions of men have replaced the Truth of Scripture. Since modern scholarship does not deal with this subject at all, the information provided herein is quite unique; and I hope it will provide you with the ability to “read between the lines” and easily recognize the distortions as they appear in Scripture.
Once the editorial agenda of the distorters is recognized, the Bible becomes an open book, easily decipherable and readable. The Truth has been cleverly masked by subtle and blatant deceptions; and Paul has been a major victim of these deceptions. I can assure you that there are often MAJOR DIFFERENCES between what Paul said in Greek, compared to what the English translations say. Be prepared for some shocks. Contrary to what most people believe, Paul was a racially exclusive Israelite. Praise Yahweh!
Background and Overview of the Problem of Translation
The disputes over Paul’s teachings are no minor point of Scripture. It is not just a verse here and a verse there, a point here, a point there. The differences are profound, encompassing the gamut between two entirely different, mutually antagonistic worldviews. These two worldviews are Universalism and Exclusivism. The former is taught by virtually all of the Judeo-Christian world. The latter is only taught in Christian Israel.
Universalism teaches that the Bible concerns itself with all races and creeds and that, ultimately, all non-White people are supposed to be converted to Christianity. These universalists strictly avoid teaching verses like, “I come not but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel,” which is a very exclusivist statement. And Jesus made many more such statements, as will be discussed below. Exclusivism teaches that the Bible was written to, by, for and about the Adamic people only, and that, ultimately, the Covenants and Promises were even more narrowly focused upon the Twelve Tribes and their genealogical descendants only. This is clearly what the Old Testament teaches. The other races and congregations are not a party to the Covenants, Promises and the Inheritance of the children of Israel; and the Israelites are under no obligation to give their Inheritance to anyone else. Paul himself repeatedly affirms this exclusivity, despite the fact that modern religion argues strenuously against this. Nor do we have any obligation or need to convert non-Whites to Our Faith. In fact, history proves that whenever we try to do so, we become heathenized and un-Christian. By trying to convert the heathen, modern evangelism succeeds only in destroying True Christianity.
Our view is that Israel was predestined to bring forth the Messiah and institute Yahweh’s Kingdom right here on earth. This will be accomplished IN SPITE OF the fact that Judeo-Christianity is the main enemy of those who were predestined to bring it about. In addition, this endeavor to bring about the Kingdom will ultimately repatriate the other Adamic nations that have gone astray, which are those nations enumerated in Genesis 10. Contrary to popular belief, it is not true that Shem only was White, and that Ham was Black and Japheth was Oriental. The truth is that all three of Noah’s sons were Whites, just as genetics dictates they would have to be; and the Bible does not contradict this fact. Nor does archeology contradict it, as the earliest Pharoahs of Egypt (Hamites) were clearly White men, as their mummies attest.
This view is considered “racist” and “supremacist,” but it is nevertheless borne out by Scripture, while the Universalist view can only be maintained by literally thousands of perversions of Scripture, plus the denial of the scientific facts of genetics. The correct evaluation of our thesis is that we are separatists, not “racists” (in the pejorative sense) or “supremacists.” This separatism and exclusivity is irrefutably mandated by the Bible itself. Christian Identity is hated precisely in the proportion that our ideas cannot be refuted. Paul said, “Do you therefore HATE ME because I tell you the truth”?
It is fascinating to watch “Jesus loves everybody” Christians start foaming at the mouth with rage when we tell them that God is a segregationist!!! When they say, “Love the sinner, hate the sin,” we challenge them to provide Chapter and Verse for that doctrine. When they are unable to find that verse, they change their character and become full of hate and venom towards us for contradicting their cherished but false beliefs. Apparently, it is too much to expect a Judeo-Christian to substitute the word “racist” for “sinner” in their false quotation and love us accordingly! I’ve never met a Judeo-Christian who is able to “love” a racist. Even the antinomians can’t do it!!! Their ability to love stops where it has been programmed to stop. If you disagree with them too much, their love turns into hypocrisy.
What the Bible, history and archeology say is that the Japhethites went north toward the steppes of eastern Europe/western Asia, the Hamites went southwest toward Africa, and the Shemites stayed in Mesopotamia. These three witnesses (Bible, history and archeology) are in remarkable agreement about such facts. It is current theology and politics, which have confused this record; and we in Identity are in the business of setting the record straight.
That the Scriptures have been perverted through mistranslation and misinterpretation is undeniable. The Universalists claim that this is only a minor problem. We Exclusivists say that this is such a major problem that the very nature and intent of the Holy Scriptures has been obliterated. The words of the holy scribes, prophets, priests and Christ Himself have been perverted beyond comprehension. Since this perversion of Scripture is so widespread, even far beyond the doctrine of the Universalists and Antinomians, I had to come with a word for it, so I will refer to this all-pervasive distortion of Scripture as “Distortionism.” And this document will explain exactly how these distortions entered into our culture.
Yahshua Himself warned us that many deceivers would come in His Name and that they would teach false doctrines in His Name. Rev. 12:9 tells us that the WHOLE WORLD would be deceived by these false teachers. Indeed, the False Prophet of the Apocalypse is the sum total of all of these false priests and their false teachings. Deception is a subject that the Distortionists rarely address, because it only draws attention to their own teachings, which are easily refuted. Daniel tells us that only a few Israelites would really understand the Scriptures and that this would not occur until the End Times, just before the return of Christ. Jesus Himself tells us that only THE ELECT would not be deceived. The rest of the world would fall under the spell of the deceivers. Universalism, Antinomianism, the Gospel of Personal Salvation, the Prosperity Gospel, Popery, Ecumenism, Judeo-Christianity: all of these doctrines are, in fact, part of the universal distortion of the Holy Scriptures. None of these theologies actually adhere to the Bible’s laws, history and teachings. And all of these things are implicit in the falsification of Paul. What we have to understand is that the various priesthoods of all denominations have a vested interest in distorting doctrine in order to perpetuate their own order, to maintain their own authority; and this factor has led to what Yahshua calls “the traditions of men.”
Paul also warns of this Distortionist development in II Thess. 2 and I Timothy 4. This movement away from True Doctrine is called the “Great Apostasy,” i.e., the “falling away” of the faithful into error. The mainstream churches (MSC) and the Paul Cult rarely quote these passages, because they clearly predict the coming of their own false doctrines.
This apostasy was already operative in Yahshua’s day; and He spared no opportunity to condemn this process of distorting Scripture for the benefit of a sectarian priesthood. This tradition was begun by the scribes and Pharisees; and it has been mimicked by various other priesthoods throughout history. Individual distorters, such as Marcion, who was the first to reject much of the Old Testament, and Arian, who taught that Jesus was a mere human being, added to the fallacies. Today the televangelists add to the confusion with their various repetitions of old and new heresies. The sum total of all their false traditions is what I call Distortionism and what Scripture calls Apostasy. The Old Testament calls it “babel.” Without an understanding of this historical process of raising men’s invented theology over Yahweh’s dictation, current translations of the Bible cannot be understood. This goes especially for the writings of Paul, who demands of his readers a great familiarity with the stories and personages contained in the Old Testament. Without this familiarity, with which only a tiny segment of Christian scholarship concerns itself, neither the New Testament nor Paul can be understood.
As a result, a survey of these false doctrines, definitions, historical inaccuracies, etc, must be undertaken before we can make any assumptions about the teachings of Paul. It must also be acknowledged that the teachings of Paul have been the target of much manipulation, especially by the early translations of the Roman Catholic Church and lately by the Universalist church. In fact, the early Catholic distortions have been repeated by the Universalists, and, in many ways, the Universalists have outperformed the Catholic perversions of Scripture.
Jesus said, “Be ye therefore wise as serpents, yet guileless as doves.” The average Judeo-Christian has no idea what He meant by this, because the vast majority of Christians either do not believe in the serpent race (Gen. 3:15) or they have never even heard of the idea.
With regard to this problem of translation, I am often asked, “Which is the best translation of the Bible?” Fortunately, we are blessed with the recent translation of the New Testament by William Finck, which is available at Christogenea.org. With regard to the OT, it is still the KJV, despite its faults. The fact that most concordances and commentaries are based on the King James makes that text THE STUDY BIBLE. We have people working on a translation of the OT directly from the Hebrew, but this is vast undertaking. I don’t see this being completed for another 7 or 8 years. In the meantime, an understanding of the distortionist agenda will help to overcome any translational problems; and the King James can thus be read with this knowledge in mind.
Introductory Notes
I recently received a very hostile email from a Judeo-Christian lady, who objected to the possibility that modern Christianity could be as corrupt as I say it is. Her basic question was this: “If the Bible has been corrupted as thoroughly as you say, how can we possibly rely on its teachings?” This is a very fair question, and I will proceed to outline how I have approached the subject.
1.) The Bible itself teaches that there will be lying scribes and lying priests, who will distort the words of the prophets. (Jer. 23; Ezek. 13 & 14.) II Thess. 2 is a clear prophecy that this will happen across Christendom before the Second Coming. (Rev. 12:9.) In Rev. 3, the Church of Laodecia, the prophetic “church” of the End Times, is rebuked for being lukewarm, being increased with goods but lacking True Faith. How modern religion has divorced itself from the Scriptures. The lukewarm “church” nauseates Yahshua, as He vomits them out of His mouth!! (Rev. 3:16.) You never see signs holding up “Rev. 3:16”! Any theology, which does not take these prophetic warnings about deception into account, is a poor and incomplete theology. Only CI deals with this subject to any great extent. Mainstream religion is totally remiss on this score.
2.) “Study to show thyself approved.” (2 Tim. 2:15.) This means that all of us – laity included – are supposed to be engaged in the study of the Scriptures. Having left this function exclusively to the false priests, the whole of Christendom has become deceived.
3.) There is a method to the madness of the lying scribes and priests. Once this method has been deduced, diligent study will untangle the knotted ball of yarn. Paul warns us that there will come a great delusion of the Faithful, and, of course, the deluded will not recognize it as delusion. (II Thess. 2:11; Isa. 66:4.) Hosea 4:6 tells us that, “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.” And we seem to prefer our illusions to truth. What a horrible weakness! “Lie to me” is the refrain of the jilted lover and the Judeo-Christian churchgoer! They listen to these lies; “And they love to have it so!” (Jer. 5:31.)
4.) We are supposed to be a “kingdom of priests.” (Lev. 19:6; Rev. 1:6.) This means that we are supposed to reject the idea of separate class of priests, such as we have in the Catholic Church and as in all other denominations, divorced from the community life of the people. Rather, we are to re-establish the priesthood of the Order of Melchizedec, meaning “King of Righteousness,” which is a hereditary priesthood, exclusively composed of our people, Israel. This is how the early bishoprics of the early church fathers were designed. Church leaders were members of the community. They were NOT members of a separate order of priests. Under the Melchizedek model, each male head of household, above the age of thirty, is to be a king/priest of his own household. And these king-priests elect their elders and bishops from among themselves. There will be no more Catholic priesthood, Protestant priesthood, and there certainly won’t be any rabbis in the Kingdom.
5.) The KJV is actually a catholic (universalist) Bible. It was commissioned by James I of England in order to counteract the effects of the Geneva Bible, which was the reigning Protestant version at the time. The Pilgrims used the Geneva Bible and brought it with them to America. The King James translators were already imbued with universalistic doctrine, and their translation reflects it.
6.) Contrary to Universalist doctrine, the New Testament is all about bringing the Exiled Sheep back into the fold. And this was Paul’s particular mission, as the “Apostle to the Nations (of Dispersed Israel).” All of Paul’s Epistles were addressed exclusively to the Israelites of the dispersion. None of them were addressed to non-Israelites.
So, the answer to this lady’s email question is that there is no quick answer. The various layers of false doctrine must be examined in order to confirm our analysis that Judeo-Christianity has become a big heap of un-Scriptural tradition. Once the traditions of men are established, it is difficult to identify them and pry them loose; but this must be done. The fact that it is extremely difficult to unwrap this tangled ball of twine cannot be an impediment to our task. It must be done. All I can say is: Keep reading and, by the time you finish all four Parts of this Exoneration of Paul, you will have hundreds of examples of erroneous doctrines that pass for “Christianity,” which nevertheless do not have any Scriptural foundation. The writings of Paul have been the chief target of this campaign of distortion. In these last days, Christianity has become so corrupt with false doctrine that it is unrecognizably different from the Faith of our Fathers.
The process of distortion was accelerated by the CI Scofield Bible, which, by its commentaries, routinely identified the Jews with the Israelites of the Old Testament. Previous to this, Christians never considered the Jews to be in the same company. From the day of the Crucifixion until the popularization of the Scofield Bible, Christians and Jews had nothing to do with each other. Jews were universally acknowledged as liars, deceivers, cheaters and guilty of the deicide on the cross. This process of distortion and indoctrination was further accelerated by the Jewish exploitation of television and their creation of the televangelists, who never fail to repeat the provocative falsehood that “The Jews are God’s chosen people and we must bless them.”
This Orwellian piece of propaganda, compounded by billions of repetitions from slick purveyors of religious deceit, has created blind support for the Jewish State. Since the formation of that antichrist state, there has not been one moment’s peace on this planet; and the more we have blessed the Jews with our money and support, the more cursed America has become. This is the historical fact; but the blind cannot see the curses of Deuteronomy 28 taking full effect for our disobedience and support for the antichrist. Is there any good reason to bless the devil’s children, when Yahweh and Yahshua both declare their ultimate punishment and destruction, for their known and unknown perfidy?
The Gospel of Personal Salvation Versus the Gospel of the Kingdom
Although the subject of “personal salvation” is contained within the Bible, the fact is that it is relegated to a distant place by both Jesus and Yahweh. Virtually every single parable that Christ uttered begins with the words, “The Kingdom of God.” They might as well be called “The Kingdom Parables,” as they always have to do with interpersonal relationships, Christian society, and honest government. Christ’s message to True Israel is “Love one another.” He NEVER said, “Save yourself.”
The purveyors of the “Gospel of Personal Salvation” rarely deal with this aspect of Christian government. Instead, they talk about one’s “personal relationship with Jesus,” as if being an honest, productive citizen had nothing to do with getting close to Jesus. If you want to have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, try obeying His Law. Yahshua put it very plainly when he said, “If you love Me, keep my commandments.” For details, read Matt. 25:31-46. If you follow this advice about loving your brethren, you can throw away all the “personal salvation” books hawked by the televangelists!
As a consequence of this shift in emphasis from responsible citizenship to worrying about what to do in order to achieve “personal salvation,” Christianity has become an emotional roller coaster ride of trying to please a make-believe“Jesus,” while things like honesty, integrity, generosity and compassion are sidetracked by the very selfish concerns about personal salvation. Jesus also said, “Love thy neighbor as thyself.” This means interpersonal relationships with our brethren. This is the testing ground for TRUE LOVE and respect for others, which is the real basis of old-fashioned Christianity. Personal salvation comes through practicing Christian living, which means practicing the Golden Rule. All of the self-help techniques in the world cannot compare with learning the lessons of honesty, compassion, humility and responsibility, which can only be achieved by applying Christian principles in our interpersonal relationships and in our society. This is what is called PRACTICING THE FAITH.
This shift in theology, from the interpersonal to the personal, has given rise to a slew of slick hustlers, who call themselves “preachers.” Instead of stressing responsible citizenship and humble dealings with friends and neighbors, the emphasis is completely switched to “converting unbelievers.” Thus, this emotional high becomes the be all and end all of their religion. True doctrine gets tossed aside in favor of making “converts” to this false gospel, which is little more than a glorified self-help movement, with Bible verses attached.
The televangelist version of this priesthood, like rock stars, become superstars and fill stadiums; but the world is not improved by their preaching. Converting others to the Christian self-help movement, rather than setting the positive example of Christian citizenship, is all they think about. When they water down the message to make it more palatable to “non-believers,” the message becomes ever more lukewarm. That is why Jesus said of this last age of Laodecia, “If ye are lukewarm, I will spew thee out of my mouth.” This “church” is long on emotionalism and short on the Word.
The “Jesus loves everybody” doctrine is preached by these superstars, while honesty and responsibility are downplayed in favor of “making converts.” The more converts, the more shekels in the collection basket. Some even pretend that evil does not really exist. Such Christians actually believe that the most hardened criminals can be converted by “effective preaching.” They actually believe in a Christianized version of the “noble savage” theory, which teaches that no one is really evil. They just make bad choices because of their “disadvantaged circumstances.” The fact is that most evildoers are such habitually, as in ethically disadvantaged. Yahshua Himself could not convert the scribes and Pharisees, who wound up killing Him because He threatened their power.
These pastors actually believe that they convert the devil to their religion by their preaching!! If they can do this, then they can do something that Jesus Christ Himself was unable to do!!! They preach, “The Jews will be converted in the latter days,” while the Jewish publishers laugh all the way to the bank!
But the Bible doesn’t say the Jews will be converted. It says the Jews (Edom) will be excluded from the Kingdom! And all evildoers will be cast into the lake of fire. This doctrine of “universal reconciliation” is just another un-Scriptural doctrine, one of hundreds that have no Scriptural support.
Masoretic Text Versus the Septuagint
Some of the most grotesque distortions of the Bible, such as the replacement of the Holy Name of YHWH with the Canaanite word, LORD, derive from the Masoretic Text (MT). The Masoretic Text is the Jewish version of the Hebrew Old Testament. It is by no means the same as what the Hebrew authors of the Old Testament wrote. It is, in fact, a redaction, with much material removed. The reasons why these Jewish editors chose to remove many verses from the Old Testament are many and varied. One of the most important reasons is that the Jews wanted to de-emphasize the coming of Jesus Christ. Another reason is that these Jewish editors wanted to downplay the racial exclusivity of the Adamic Israelites. Since the Pharisees were Edomites pretending to be Judahites, the Masoretes did everything they could to hide this fact from us. Hence, in our modern translations, the word ‘Jew’ is often used as a replacement for the word ‘Judah,’ even though these two words are NEVER synonymous. This fact will be explained in great detail in the word studies hereinafter.
Another reason for the Masoretic redaction of the Hebrew Scriptures was the Jewish attempt to combat the Septuagint. The fact is that Jesus, Paul and the Apostles relied heavily on the Septuagint version of the Old Testament. Virtually all of the quotations from the OT in the NT are from the Septuagint. Since Greek was replacing Aramaic as the lingua franca of the Israelite world, Greek versions of Hebrew Scriptures were becoming available. The Septuagint, or LXX (for 70), was the first Greek translation of the Hebrew Scriptures. It was commissioned by Ptolemy Philadelphus II of Egypt, around 240 BC. Seventy Judahite (not Jewish) scribes were hired to perform this task. That’s why it is called the Septuagint, from the number, 70. They were True Judahites, who practiced the Law of Moses; and they faithfully translated the Hebrew Old Testament into Greek..
Generally speaking, whenever there are disagreements between the MT and the Septuagint, the LXX has been found to be more accurate. It is also true that New Testament quotations of the OT agree more often with the Septuagint than with the MT. The LXX also contains many apocryphal books, which are excluded from the MT.
Many scholars have stated that the main reason for the composition of the MT was the inability of the Jews to refute Christian doctrine, which relied heavily on the LXX. In the early days of Christianity, heated debate between Jews and Christians took place. Because the Jews could never refute the LXX, they decided to create their own version of the Old Testament; and this new, kosher version excluded many of the verses that the Christians had employed against Judaism from the Septuagint. Most Christians know absolutely nothing about this; and the Jews are endeavoring to keep it so.
Here are some examples of what the early church fathers had to say about the Jewish MT:
“But I am far from putting reliance in your teachers, who refuse to admit that the interpretation by the seventy elders who were with Ptolemy of the Egyptians is a correct one…I wish you to observe that they [the Jewish Masoretes] have altogether taken away many Scriptures from the translations effected by those seventy elders who were with Ptolemy.” – Justin Martyr (c. 160, E), 1.234.
“We read that every Scripture suitable for edification is divinely inspired. So it may now seem to have been rejected by the Jews for that very reason – just like nearly all the other portions that speak of Christ. Nor, of course, is this fact surprising: that they did not receive some Scriptures that spoke of Him whom they did not receive. For they did not receive Him even when He was here in Person, speaking in their presence.” – Tertullian (c. 198, W.)
“Probably you will reply, ‘Why, then, is the history [of Susanna] not in their Daniel – if as you say, their wise men handed down such stories in their tradition?’ The answer is that they hid from the knowledge of the people as many of the passages as they could that contained any scandal against the elders, rulers and judges. Some of these have been preserved in hidden writings.” – Origen (c. 240, E) 4.388.
The reason why the Masoretes left the story of Susanna out of the book of Daniel is because Daniel identifies Susanna’s would-be seducers as Edomites.
“What about Zachariah, the son of Barachiah, who was slain between the temple and the altar? We learn this only from Jesus, not knowing it otherwise from any Scripture. Accordingly, I think no other supposition is possible than that those who had the reputation of wisdom, along with the rulers and the elders, took away from the people every passage that might bring the elders into discredit among the people.” – Origen (c. 240, E), 4.389.
From the above quotations, you can see that the early church fathers knew that the Jews were DISTORTERS of the Holy Scriptures. Few Christians know this today. Jesus knew it too. Speaking to the Jewish scribes and Pharisees, Yahshua Messiah said to these Jews, “If ye had believed Moses, you would believe Me.” (John 5:45-47.)
Knowing that the King James Version of the Old Testament was translated from the Masoretic Text is no small piece of information. It means that the KJV is heavily influenced by Jewish distortion. Did you know that? The word studies below will show how the Jews have influenced the meanings of very important words in the both the OT and NT. Without this knowledge, you cannot know how you are being deceived.
The First Rule of Scholarship
The first rule of scholarship is not to judge an author by his translators. The Paul Cult has no conception of this rule. They neither look up the true meanings of words, nor do they consider the context of the passages they love to quote, almost always out of context! Their technique is to snatch a verse from Book 1, Chapter 99, snatch a verse from Book 99, Verse 2, plus a few more that sound a little similar, then they blend them all together to create a fictitious theme, such as the Rapture Doctrine. Such out-of-context verse snatching is an epidemic within Judeo-Christianity.
This is an example of what one observer called, “Removing Text from Context to create Pretext.” The flock that sits in the pews think that their “pastors” are being honest.
And the Anti-Paulians within CI, rather than doing the type of patient scholarship that reveals this technique, have simply bought into the errors of the Paul Cult and have blamed Paul for the existing horrible translations and false interpretations. I have no argument with those who say that the teachings of Paul have been distorted by Judeo-Christianity. But I strenuously object to those who blame any or all of this on Paul. Paul is not to be blamed for what the translators and interpreters have done with his work. I am reminded of a lyric by the songwriter, Melanie: “Look what they’ve done to my song, Ma.” I will prove, beyond any doubt, that the false doctrines that are preached in Paul’s name are but lies spoken in his name.
No mountain of circumstantial evidence can be substituted for the truth.
Why did Jesus Speak in Parables?
The tradition of men says that the reason Jesus spoke in parables is so that everybody can understand the gospel. But Jesus says the exact opposite. Observe:
“And the disciples came and said to Him, Why do you speak to them in parables? He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given…for this people’s heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.” – Matt. 13: 10-15.
So, “Jesus loves EVERYBODY?” I DON’T THINK SO!!! What a hard-hearted thing to say! Maybe Jesus knew, being God in the flesh, that certain people will NEVER accept the True Gospel!! They prefer lies and illusions. Of course, the distortionist priesthood has absolutely no idea how to explain this verse.
Crucial Definitions of Key Words in Scripture
What very few Christians understand about modern Bible interpretation is that many very important words do not mean what the original authors meant by these terms. The translators have performed some very significant examples of “bait and switch.” The rest of this chapter will deal with the meanings of such significant words.
Jews Versus Judahites
This subject is a major theme of Christian Identity. The modern Judeo-Christian simply believes the lies told them by the Jews, who are neither Shemites nor Israelites. Since the vast majority of Jews today are of Ashkenazi stock, they cannot possibly be “Semites.” Rather, they are a mixture of Mongol, Turk (Hittite) and Japheth, with some of every other race thrown in.
Since the Zionist occupation of Palestine is based on their supposed “Semitic descent,” their lack of Shemitic blood should raise a red flag; but Christians do not concern themselves with such blatant dishonesty. They prefer their illusions.
The fact is that, in the days of Yahshua, there were two very different types of Judeans in Judea: 1.) the ORIGINAL Judeans, who were direct descendants of the tribe of Judah, and 2.) the Edomites, who were forcibly converted and forcibly circumcised by John Hyrcanus in 125 BC. Under Herod, the latter gradually replaced the former in positions of authority. By the time of Christ, these Edomite “Jews” had totally displaced those of True Judah; and the modern Judeo-Christian has no idea that a coup took place. None of their “pastors” teach this true history of subversion. See Rev. 2:9, 3:9; Ps. 83:4,12; Ez. 11:14-15; Ez. 36:5, for prophecies predicting the takeover of Judah by Edom. Obadiah and Zech, 14:21 predict their ultimate destruction, for their perfidy against True Israel! I can assure you that no Jew or Judeo-Christian will touch these verses, because neither theology can explain their meaning, which clearly tell us that the Edomites will one day impersonate Judah.
Rather than deal with these Scriptures, the modern Jew simply makes up stories about those days, creating fables out of whole cloth, which obscure the facts of this subversion of True Judah and the replacement of Judah by Edomites. Here’s an example of such invention, sold in bookstores as biblical “commentary”:
“James, like John and Jesus before him, saw himself as a faithful Jew. None of them believed that their movement was a new religion. It was Paul who transformed Jesus and His message through his ministry to the gentiles, breaking with James and the followers of Jesus in Jerusalem, preaching a message based on his own revelations that would become Christianity. Jesus became a figure whose humanity was obscured; John became merely a forerunner of Jesus; and James and the others were all but forgotten.” — Robert Eisenman, James, the Brother of Jesus.
Every single sentence in this paragraph is either blatant or subtle distortion. Eisenman, like all Jews, furtively denies the divinity of Jesus Christ, with very carefully crafted statements like, “Jesus became a figure whose humanity was obscured.” What else could this possibly mean? Note also that he accuses Paul of inventing a new religion, when the REAL new religion is actually Judaism itself, which was invented by Eisenman’s Edomite forebears, the scribes and Pharisees. Eisenman also perpetuates the false dichotomy between Jews and “Gentiles,” when the REAL DICHOTOMY in Scripture is Israelites versus non-Israelites. There is a HUGE DISPARITY between these two distinctions.
When the Edomites reinvented themselves as Judahites, the world did not notice. But, I assure you that Jesus Christ noticed, and He told them so:
They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham’s children, ye would do the works of Abraham.
40But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham.
41Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God.
42Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.
43Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word.
44Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
- John 8: 39-44. (See also Matt. 13 and Matt. 23.)
Such clear denunciations of the scribes and Pharisees are religiously avoided by the distortionists.
Eisenman’s book, which is1074 pages long, does not contain a single true statement in the entire book!!! How can I say that? Surely, a book that long must contain at least one true statement. Absolutely not! It is nothing but Jewish propaganda. 1.) He’s a Jew and Jews allow themselves the Talmudic right to lie about anything as long as they don’t get caught. 2.) Eisenman makes no distinction between Judahites and Edomites. The fact is that Herod was an Edomite; and he usurped the throne of Judah and empowered his favorite Edomite friends and family in taking over the Sanhedrin, the scribes, and the Pharisaic priesthood. All three of these institutions were, previous to Herod, ruled exclusively by Israelites of the tribes of Judah and Benjamin, although there were some Edomite scribes attached to Judah, as will be explained later. Herod, upon assassinating King John Hyrcanus, a true Judahite, then proceeded to replace pure-blooded Judahites with Edomite conspirators and henchmen. The BIGGEST LIE IN HISTORY is the lie that the Jews are Israel. This is beginning of the BIG LIE TECHNIQUE, which Judaism has been employing since 125 BC.
Eisenman is just another liar in a long line of Jewish liars. For 2,125 years, the Jews have been engaged in promoting and exploiting this lie. It is the basis of their religion, which is the religion of the Pharisees. It is NOT the religion of Moses. Until you understand and grasp this reality, you cannot possibly understand the true source of evil in this world. In fact, if you do not understand this fact, evil has you entirely in its clutches, for it has you completely deceived!
‘Jew’ In the OT
The simple fact is this: The word, ‘Jew,’ does not belong anywhere in the OT. Wherever the word Jew is found therein, it is a false replacement for the Hebrew Yehudi, which has only one meaning: “Judah,” or “Judahite.” The word Judah is an exclusive reference to the patriarch, Judah, and/or his descendants, as determined by their patriarchal descent. The fact that the Jews trace their lineage matrilineally should raise a red flag in anyone’s theology, since the Hebrews always practiced patriarchal descent, not matriarchal descent. However, the Canaanites and Edomites were known to practice a matriarchal lineage. This tradition is Talmudic, not Scriptural.
The word, Judahite, means a descendant of Judah. The word ‘Judahite’ is not used in Scripture, but such expressions as “remnant of Judah,” “the children of Judah,” and “the land of Judah,” are references to the people of Judah, who are properly called Judahites, not Jews.
Thus, the word Jew has become a SUBSTITUTE for the word, Judahite. Strong’s Concordance, giving us the definition of Yehudi (#3064), tells us this: “a Jehudite (Judahite or Jew), or descendant of Jehuda (ie, Judah): – Jew.”
But since Jews practice a false matrilineal descent, they cannot be Judahites, for the Judahites never had such a practice. By their own tradition, only the mother’s ancestry is considered in determining whether the offspring is Jewish or non-Jewish. To the Jewish religion, which is NOT based on the Mosaic Law, the father can be of any race whatsoever. This tradition is clearly anti-Scriptural. It can be found nowhere in the Bible. We also know that, by their own admission, the vast majority of Jews today (up to 95%) are of non-Shemitic, Khazar descent. These are the Ashkenazi Jews, who never had a single ancestor ever set foot in Palestine, since the Khazars themselves trace their ancestry through Japheth, not through Shem. Yet, these same Khazars claim ownership of Palestine because of their supposed “Semitic heritage.” This claim is just another among many false claims made by the Jews. Their impersonation of Judah requires that many BIG LIES be told and perpetuated, in order to maintain their impersonation of True Israel.
It has to be understood that nowhere in the Bible is there a statement that says, “The Jews are Israel.” This is a modern invention/interpretation that cannot be found in Scripture.
It is an example of the BIG LIE, practiced to perfection. If you do a Bible search of this sentence, with the quotation marks around it, you will get a message that says, “Sorry, No results found for ‘The Jews are Israel.’” That’s because there is no such statement in the Bible.
This lie has been very cleverly crafted and promoted by the rabbis of Judaism and their copycats, the Judeo-Christians. Christians have been led to BELIEVE that the Bible makes this equation, but the Bible does not make this equation!
Contiguity is NOT Consanguinity
What this heading means is that mere residence in the same country does not make one a blood brother. The Sephardic Jews of the Bible, being of Canaanite/Edomite descent, did in fact live among the True Judahites, but they were never Judahites by race. It is by this territorial association (contiguity) with Judah that the Jews began to IMPERSONATE True Judah. There is, in fact, NO CONSANGUINITY (blood relationship) between Edomites and Judahites. In fact, the Bible explicitly forbids that all Israelites have any dealings with Canaanites and Edomites (Deut. 7:1-7). Unfortunately, the Israelites regularly disobeyed Yahweh’s commandment in this area. And it is because of this disobedience that the Edomites ultimately took control of land of Judah away from the House of Judah. Here is the history behind this Jewish usurpation and Impersonation of True Judah:
It was during the reign of the Judahite king Onias IV, around 150 B.C., that the sect of Pharisees began to assert themselves over the Essenes and the Sadducees. The Pharisees apparently began as a group of Judahites, who preached that Judahites must maintain separation from other people. This separatism was a reaction to the fact that that royalty and the rich of Judea were developing too many political and economic ties with outside invaders, such as the Greeks and the Romans. Onias IV was succeeded by King Jonathan and King Simon.
By the time of the following monarch, King John Hyrcanus (Hyrcanus II), the Pharisees had become the most powerful religious/political sect in Judea; but political intrigue by the Edomites gradually displaced the true Judahites with Edomites, especially during the days of “King” Herod. In order to subdue the nasty Idumeans south of Judah, King John Hyrcanus waged a war against them and defeated them. Unlike his predecessors, Moses and Joshua, who were instructed by Yahweh to exterminate the Canaanites, Hyrcanus decided to make an official covenant with them. Thus, he annexed all of Idumea. The combination of the two nations of Judah and Idumea became known as Judea. This annexation of the entire nation of Idumea was in complete violation of Yahweh’s commandment to all Israel that we are to make NO COVENANT WITH CANAANITES. (Deut. 7:2.) Hyrcanus gave the Edomite males an ultimatum: be circumcised or die. Before this time, no non-Israelite was ever circumcised by an Israelite priest or King. This act was also in total defiance of God’s Law of separation, which demanded that all Israelites refrain from mixing their seed with that of non-Israelites. Thus, the world’s first Jew was the first Idumean male to be circumcised under the rule of John Hyrcanus.
In this way, the Kingdom of Judah became the combined Kingdom of Judea, and the mixing of their seed became increasingly tolerated, although this occurred primarily in the City of Jerusalem and rarely in the countryside, where the farmers and shepherds of Judah and Benjamin had little social interaction with the Idumeans. (Just like modern Jews today, the proto-Jews of Judea preferred to live in the cities). Previous to this infusion of non-Semitic stock into Judahite blood, there was no wholesale mixing of Judahite blood and Edomite blood. John Hyrcanus changed all that.
The Nethinim
Do you remember the water gate? The water gate is very near the tower of Ophel. Go back to Nehemiah 3:26; “(Moreover the Nethinims dwelt in Ophel, unto the place over against the water gate toward the east, and the tower that lieth out.)” This is right in the presence of the Nethinims where the records are kept and the liturgical duties are done, and it is quite obvious that the religious order is set for their convenience.
The Book of the laws of Moses, are the first five books of our Bible, and these books tell us that these Nethinim have no business anywhere near the house of God, let alone handling any of the duties that God gave to Aaron and his sons for eternal generations.
(Source: http://www.theseason.org/nehemiah/nehemiah8.htm by Roger Christopherson.)
The Nethinim were non-Israelites, mainly Edomites, but also captives and slaves from the various wars of the Israelites, who performed menial tasks for the Levitical priesthood. These duties began under David, who took the first Nethinim from among the Gibeonites.
Mr. Christopherson, in his discussion of Ezra, Chapter 2, also tells us:
“There is a word we here we must become acquainted with. The Nethinims were the people that were given to service in the Temple of God. They were captives, and volunteers that were given to the priests to do their work. The priests had a way of becoming lazy in performing the duties of the Temple, and these Nethinims were there to help the priests. The word “Nethinim” in the Hebrew means “given.”
Nethinim, in Strong’s Hebrew dictionary, # 5411; “Nathuwn, naw-theen, (the proper form, as pass. part.), from # 5414; one given, i.e. (in the plural only) the Nethinim, or Temple-servants (as given up to that duty):-Nethinim”. This is called a transliteration, rather than a translation. They are Temple servants, and not of the House of Judah.”
Several Bible historians have stated that the Levites of the Temple became lazy and hired non-Israelites to perform the menial tasks. This actually fulfills the prophecy that the Canaanites would be the servants of the Shemites (Gen. 9:26,27). Before this, Saul had hired Doeg, the Edomite, to kill his own priests, who had refused to obey his un-Scriptural orders. (I Sam. 22.) David also hired Edomites, after giving clemency to the Amorite Gibeonites, who were also employed as Nethinim (II Sam. 21). These acts by Saul and David were a violation of Numbers 33:55, in which the Israelites were told to exterminate these evil Canaanites, or they will come back to haunt the Israelites until the Judgment Day. Listen closely, Israel:
“But if ye will not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you; then it shall come to pass, that those which ye let remain of them shall be pricks in your eyes, and thorns in your sides, and shall vex you in the land wherein ye dwell.” – Num. 33:55.
But the Israelites did not have the chutzpah to kill children and babies, so many of these evil Canaanites escaped Yahweh’s just punishment. The Jewish Bolsheviks, Esau reborn, wreaked great vengeance against us when they nearly exterminated Christian Russia. Christian Europe was next in line.
It stands to reason that these Nethinim, being Edomites having to perform menial tasks for their military oppressors, would harbor a great resentment towards the Israelites, although some of them might have been loyal. While the Judahites were going through tumultuous times, during the Greek and Roman invasions, some of these Nethinim also became scribes (trustees), entrusted with copying the Scriptures.
During the days of Herod, these Idumean scribes gradually found themselves thrust into the company of the Pharisees, who had gained charge of the religious life of the Kingdom of Judah. It was at this point that the scribes and Pharisees formed an alliance, which would change the Kingdom of Judah forever. Due to the anti-Mosaic alliance between the Judahites and Idumeans established by Hyrcanus, the Pharisees began accepting non-Judahite members from Idumea; and so began the corruption of the priesthood in Judah. The scribes and Pharisees, together, under Hyrcanus’s successor, Herod, dominated the religious and economic life of the Kingdom and eventually became powerful enough to impose their anti-Mosaic teachings upon the Judahites, which teaching included the acceptance of race-mixing under the scribes and Pharisees. It was these same Pharisees who became the moneychangers that Jesus drove out of the Temple grounds.
Pay attention here, O Israel: It is their tradition, which Jesus Christ calls “the tradition of the elders,” which he condemns in all four Gospels as the “synagogue of Satan.” Although some elements of Judaism may have come back from Babylon after the Babylonian captivity (roughly 500 B.C.), it was primarily the scribes and Pharisees who made up their self-serving doctrine based on Edomite exploitational economics and Babylonian pagan religion. This culture existed in varied forms among all of the Canaanite and Edomite peoples that lived in the regions from Babylon to Palestine. This body of Edomite doctrine was gradually added to the Hebrew Torah (Mosaic Law) and it was thereby corrupted. This religion is today known as Judaism.
Here are the words of Jesus Christ Himself, telling these scribes and Pharisees of their apostasy:
“Well hath Esias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, THIS PEOPLE HONORETH ME WITH THEIR LIPS, BUT THEIR HEART IS FAR FROM ME. HOWBEIT 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…full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.” — Mark 7:6-10.
The Jewish Encyclopedia confirms this fact, although few Christians are aware of this:
“The Jewish religion as it is today traces its descent, without a break, through all the centuries, from the Pharisees. Their leading ideas and methods found expression in a literature of enormous extent, of which a very great deal is still in existence. The Talmud is the largest and most important single member of that literature.” – Universal Jewish Encyclopedia, Volume VIII (1942), p. 474.
Under no circumstances can the religion of the Pharisees be equated with the laws of Moses. Judaism is a Pharisaic religion, not an Israelite religion. These Pharisees are today’s rabbis; and they are IMPOSTORS, not true priests of Moses.
If you doubt my words, here are some more quotations from Jewish sources, which confirm the NON-MOSAIC ORIGIN OF JUDAISM:
“…the Talmud has been the chief authority in Jewish life. True, the Bible was theoretically the ultimate authority, but the Bible was understood as the Talmud interpreted it.” (The Story of Judaism, Bernard J. Bamberger, p.108.)
“This is not an uncommon impression and one finds it sometimes among Jews as well as Christians – that Judaism is the religion of the Hebrew Bible. It is, of course, a fallacious impression…Judaism is not the religion of the Bible. (Judaism and the Christian Predicament, Rabbi Ben Zion Bokser, 1967, p.59.)
“You will notice that a great difference exists between the Jewish and Christian religions. But these are not all. We Judians consider the two religions so different that one excludes the other…we emphasized that there is no such thing as a Judeo-Christian religion…There is not any similarity between the two concepts.” (Rabbi Maggal, quoted in the National Jewish Information Service, August 21, 1961.)
“Pharisaism became Talmudism, Talmudism became Medieval Rabbinism, and Medieval Rabbinism became Modern Rabbinism…throughout these changes in name…the spirit of the ancient Pharisee survives unaltered.” (The Pharisees, the Sociological Background of Their Faith, Rabbi Louis Finkelstein, p. 21.)
“Jewish life was regulated by the teachings of the Pharisees: the whole history of Judaism was reconstructed from the Pharisaic point of view…Pharisaism shaped the character of Judaism and the life and the thought of the Jew for all the future…It makes ‘separatism’ its chief characteristic.” (History and Destiny of the Jews, Dr. Josef Kastein, p. 69.)
The Talmud (Judaism) is clearly the wellspring of the Jewish religion. They only pay lip service to the Laws of Moses, while violating them at every opportunity. Thus, Talmudic Judaism is what Jesus refers to as “the traditions of the elders.” To these same Pharisees, Yahshua also said, “If ye had believed Moses, ye would have believed Me.” – John 5:46.
But no “minister” in any mainstream Christian pulpit will apprise you of these facts; because they are either equally deluded by Jewish lies, or they are the hired agents of the antichrist.
Our attitude toward Judaism is summed up at Luke 12:1: “Beware the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.” All Christians should be aware of these facts, yet the vast majority of Christians have been totally deceived by Jewish lies. No wonder the Jews don’t want Christians to read the New Testament!!!!! Well did Paul prophesy of the end times that there would be a great “falling away” (II Thes. 2) from the True Faith, just before the Second Coming of Jesus Christ!
The Idumean Coup Against Judah
When Herod, the Edomite, was appointed King of Judea by Rome, he was the first non-Judahite king of Judea. He was an Idumean. This fact is well-known by most Bible scholars; but none of them will ever mention it, because Christians will wonder how an Idumean could have become ruler of Judah!! After Herod assassinated John Hyrcanus, his next act was to slaughter all of the members of the Sanhedrin, both Judahite and Idumean, so as to purge the Sanhedrin of Judahites and replace them only with Idumeans. Just as Josef Stalin purged his administration of disloyal Jews only to replace them with Jews he felt he could trust, Herod “liquidated” those Idumeans who might have gotten too friendly with the Judahites. Taking no chances, he murdered them all.
It was during this era of the merging of Judahites and Idumeans that the confusion between these two groups of people began to develop; and the rabbis of the newly developing religion, called Judaism, began pretending to be Judahites. This was a master stroke of deception: the impersonation of a people by an entirely different people. This was not the first time that the Canaanites had done this. Back in the glory days of Egypt, the Hyksos, a Canaanite people, invaded Egypt and took control of the trade routes along the Mediterranean coast, while the real Egyptians had to move south while the Hyksos dominated the area. These Hyksos people donned Egyptian dress and began impersonating the real Egyptians. The caravans that passed through simply assumed that another Egyptian dynasty had taken over. In fact, the Hyksos had staged a coup and were impersonating the real Egyptians.
The impersonation of Israel continues today. One of the requirements of being a Jewish male is the rite of circumcision. Circumcision is not a requirement for Christian Israel, because that was one of the rites (among many priestly rites) which was abolished by the New Covenant and the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Peter’s vision of the “unclean meats” in the Book of Acts (Chapter 10) is proof that the uncircumcised Israelites of the Dispersion (the “uncircumcision”) were now acceptable under the New Covenant, as full brothers with the Judahites and Benjamites of Judea (the “circumcision”). Paul was trying to explain this to Peter, but Peter did not believe until he had his vision. That vision had NOTHING to do with literal food. The vision had everything to do with formerly unacceptable Israelites. But Christ’s sacrifice made the two houses into one, by forgiving them both. (Eph. 2:15.) Peter himself declares that he finally understands the meaning of the vision (Acts 10:28) and is therefore in full agreement with Paul on the subject of circumcised versus uncircumcised Israelites. The Antinomians claim that these verses actually allow us to eat pork and other unclean meats, but it is clear that Peter’s vision had nothing to do with literal meat. Again, the distortionists avoid critical verses that refute their interpretations of Scripture.
As part of their impersonation of True Israel, the Jews still mandate circumcision today. They practice Judaized versions of the Hebrew Feast Days, which have nothing to do with the spirit of the Old Testament. They constantly make up new traditions, such as the Kol Nidre, a prayer which gives them the right to lie, cheat and steal against non-Jews. Of course, there is no such license given to True Israel in any passage of the Holy Bible. They also give their children Hebrew names, to make their impersonation more convincing. Yet, they do NOT practice the Laws of Moses at all, as my epic study of Judaism proves. For proof of this assertion, please read my thoroughly documented ebook, The 95 Theses Against the Antichrist, which gives hundreds of proofs that Judaism is the furthest thing from the Law of Moses. (http://www.anglo-saxonisrael.com/docOthers/95-theses.html )
From all of the above history, it is therefore axiomatic that the term ‘Jew’ should never be applied to any Israelites or Judahites prior to 150 B.C. and then only to those Judahites who were deceived into practicing the doctrine of the scribes and Pharisees, jusat as today’s naïve Christians have been lured into practicing Judaeo-Christianity instead of True Christianity. It is very important that our language be precise so as not to confuse Judahites who practiced the Mosaic Law with Jews who practiced “the leaven of the Pharisees.” (Luke, 12:1.) The remnant, under Nehemiah and Ezra, who returned from Babylon were Judahites, not Jews. A Judahite is a full-blooded member of the tribe of Judah. Both Nehemiah and Ezra record that their ranks were purged of half-breeds and all of their half-breed wives and children were banished to Idumea or to Samaria.
This is proof positive that the priesthood endeavored to practice Biblical Segregation. Race-mixing is a JEWISH IDEA. It is not a Biblical idea. This point will be proven conclusively in Part 2 of this series.
In addition, the proper term for the nation of the Judahites before the Pharisaic period is, simply, “Judah,” or “the land of Judah.” Let us make this statement as if our spiritual lives depend upon it: The Judahites NEVER referred to themsleves with the generic word, ‘Jew.’
The application of the term ‘Jew’ to these pre-Pharisaic Judahites is always erroneous, because these Judahites never practiced the religion called Judaism. After the Pharisaic period was in full swing, outsiders such as the Greeks and Romans began referring to the land of Judah as “Judea.” Just as America’s Indians never referred to themselves as “Indians,” neither did the Judahites refer to themselves as “Jews.” It is silly and preposterous for us to make this mistake knowing full well that the Jews are neither Judahites by race nor religion. ‘Jew’ and ‘Judahite’ are not equivalent; therefore, the word ‘Jew’ should never be applied to anyone who is a pure-blooded Judahite. The fact that historians use the word retroactively to apply to pre-Pharisaic Judahites is a horrible mistake of scholarship and a Pharisaic tradition, which is promoted by the anti-Christ in the interests of Zionism. We, as Yahweh’s True Israel people, should begin to correct this mistake in faulty language immediately.
There are only three valid, biblical definitions of the word ‘Jew:’ 1. Jewry; 2. those who practice the religion called Judaism; and 3. a Judean.
Definition #1: Jewry refers to the ethnic minority, which is controlled by the rabbis of Judaism, though they may or may not be religious. Today, this group consists of the Sephardic Jews of Edomite origin and the Ashkenazi Jews of Khazar origin. Note that neither of these groups is of Shemitic origin, which makes their use of the term ’anti-Semitism’ farcical as well. The rabbis, thinking that we are as stupid as we are good-natured, have been fooling us for 2,000 years. Within these two groups, the Sephardim and the Ashkenazim, the number of pure-blooded Judahites is virtually zero. The fact that either of these groups might occasionally intermarry with Caucasian Israelites does not make them Israelites. They are still impostors.
Definition #2 is self-evident. It is important to state, however, that Judaism is NOT a continuation of the heritage of the Hebrew Bible. If someone plagiarizes your work, claims it as his own and signs his name to it, does that make it his? Judaism is no more of Hebrew heritage than Martin Luther King, the plagiarist, is of Britain and Shakespeare.
Definition #3 refers to those people, irrespective of their religion or ethnic origin, who lived in Judea after the nation became known, not as Judah, but as Judea. By this time, the Mosaic Law had been all but wiped out by the scribes and Pharisees and defiled by their own tradition. Again, this was more true of the City of Jerusalem than it was of the people of the countryside. Although Bethlehem was only a few miles away, it was not nearly as corrupted as the City itself. And it was even less true of the Benjamites, whose country, Galilee, was never converted to Judaism. It is biblical and historical fact that all of the Apostles, except Judas, were Benjamites who never practiced Judaism. This is something that a Jewish liar, such as Robert Eisenman, could never openly admit. Judas was most probably either a traitorous Judahite or a mixed-breed Judahite/Idumean. His surname, Iscariot, is a reference to his home town of Kerioth, which was located at the southern border of Judah, the border of Idumea. Iscariot means, therefore, “man of Kerioth.” He was Judas of Kerioth. The fact that the jews claim him as one of their own is telling. Today’s Jews are always trying to reinvent Judas as a victim instead of a perfidious Jew.
The name change from ‘Judah’ to ‘Judea’ was prompted by the fact that the nation was becoming less and less Judahite and more and more Idumean, just as America today is becoming less and less Christian and more and more Jewish. ‘Jewmerica’ might be a fitting retroactive nomen, after they have again fabricated history by taking credit for the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution and declaring that ours was always a unversalist, pro-Zionist nation denying the divinity of Jesus Christ.
The rabbis have profited enormously from this confusion between ‘Judahite’ and ‘Jew’ for centuries. The Pharisees knew perfectly well that they were not true Judahites, but Idumeans who had adopted some Mosaic customs while promoting their own, subversive religion, Judaism. The four Gospels are replete with evidence that the scribes and Pharisees neither practiced the Mosaic Law nor were they Israelites of the tribe of Judah. Jesus says so repeatedly, for example, when He says “Ye are not my sheep,” and “Ye are of your father, devil.”
As for us, we should know better than to allow ourselves to play Jewish games. For clarity’s sake, and to avoid promoting Jewish myths about their origins, the word ‘Jew’ should never be used to refer to Mosaic Law Judahites. Even more certainly, the term should never be used to refer to Israelites, because the House of Israel, along with a large percentage of the tribes of Judah and Benjamin, had been deported 550 years before, and they had no part in the events of Judea just before and during the time of Christ. This is why Jesus told his disciples not to preach to the local unbelievers but said, instead, “Go ye rather to the Lost Sheep of the House of Israel.” This is exactly what the Apostles did, going to Asia Minor, Europe and Britain, where the Ten Lost Tribes had already heard of the Messiah. The Ten Lost Tribes should actually be referred to as the Twelve Lost Tribes because they had such a large contingent of Judah and Benjamin that accompanied them at the time of this captivity by Assyria. For further proof of this, note that the Book of James begins with the words, “To the twelve tribes scattered abroad.” James knew who his brethren were. Of course, these Christian Israelites eventually became known as the Caucasian People.
Jesus Was NOT a Jew
A Judahite is a direct lineal descendant of Judah via patriarchal descent. The Judahites practiced the Law of Moses. Whenever they violated these Laws and Covenants, Yahweh punished them. Whenever they kept these Laws and Covenants, Yahweh blessed them. Jesus was a Judahite, not a Jew. There is a world of difference between the two concepts. Matthew and Luke both testify of His Judahite descent and He is frequently referred to as “Son of David” in many places in the NT.
In the Days of Christ, a Jew was a follower of the scribes and Pharisees, who practiced the “tradition of the elders,” which ultimately came to be known as Judaism. Despite all beliefs to the contrary, Judaism has NEVER practiced the Mosaic Law. That is an historical lie; and this fact is borne out by a study of the Talmud, which declares supremacy over the Mosaic Law.
The linguistic fact is that the use of the word Jew is NEVER JUSTIFIED IN THE OLD TESTAMENT. The word Judah is always the only accurate and proper usage of the Hebrew Jehudi (#3064). Wherever Judah is translated as Jew, it is a false, deceptive translation. The rabbis of Judaism, using their wily language skills, which they practice daily in their Yeshivas, have encouraged and facilitated this false translation, because it perpetuates their masquerade as Judah, which was begun by the Masoretic rabbis of the Jewish (Idumean/Edomite) Dispersion! This did not happen until 70 AD, with the destruction of the Temple by the Romans, under Titus. The Dispersion of the Israelites was a completely separate and distinct historical event, that happened over 800 years earlier! For centuries, this continuing masquerade has enabled the rabbis of Judaism to fool all of the world’s best theologians, except for Identity theologians, those of us who know that there always was and still is a RACIAL AND THEOLOGICAL DIFFERENCE BETWEEN Judahites and Jews. Consequently, there is simply no way that these two highly disparate groups can be equated. Only fuzzy thinking can equate these two groups.
The claim that “Jesus was a Jew” is just part of this Jewish deception. No Jew actually believes it. It’s just a joke by which the Jews laugh at Christians. Because we believe such blatant lies, the Jews refer to us as “stupid goyim.”
The Judahites were a patriarchal, racially exclusive, Mosaic Law practicing tribe. The Jews have never been any such thing. The Sephardic Jews of the Bible have always been an Edomite/Canaanite people, who usurped the throne of Judah when John Hyrcanus was assassinated by Herod, the Edomite. Herod is also the evil one who tried to murder Baby Jesus and the one who made the Pharisees the official priesthood of Judea. This priesthood came in by deception, was empowered by violence and has been maintained by Jewish money ever since.
It was Yahweh Himself who destroyed the Temple so that the Jews could no longer practice animal sacrifice therein.
The False Dichotomy Between Jew and Gentile
Having established the false premise that the Jews are the same people as the Israelites of Scripture, Judaism teaches another falsehood on the heels of that whopper: “Jews are Israelites and Gentiles are non-Israelites.”
Here, the proper derivation of the word ‘Gentile’ is in order.
The word ‘Gentile’ is deceptively used by the rabbis as an antonym of ‘Israelite.” Thus, for them, ‘Gentile’ means “non-Jew.” But this is not at all what this word means. It doesn’t belong in the Bible at all. It is actually a Latin word, that means “kinsman.” The Hebrew ‘goy’ and the Greek ‘ethnos’ both mean “nation.” And the identity of the nation must always be determined from the context of the passage. Consequently, the definition that the Jews employ, namely “non-Jewish,” is a complete fabrication that has no origin in either the Hebrew or the Greek. It is a self-serving definition, which suits the rabbinical deception that the Bible is about the Jewish people.
Thus, the rabbis have established a false dichotomy, between Jews and non-Jews; but the Bible is about the Israelites, not about the Jews. So, the true dichotomy is between the Israelites and the heathen. It is also easily demonstrated that the vast majority of the instances of ‘gentile’ actually refer to the Israelites of the Dispersion, which means the KINSMEN of the Judean Israelites; and this is in accord with the actual definition of the Latin word, ‘gentilis.’
Consider carefully this analysis by a Latin expert:
William Smith, D.C.L., LL.D.:
A Dictionary of Greek and Roman Antiquities, John Murray, London, 1875.
GENS. This word contains the same element as the Latin genus, and gigno, and as the Greek γένος, γίγνομαι, &c., and it primarily signifies kin. But the word has numerous significations, which have either a very remote connection with this its primary notion, or perhaps none at all.
Gens sometimes signifies a whole political community, as Gens Latinorum, Gens Campanorum, &c. (Juv. Sat. VIII.239, and Heinrich’s note); though it is probable that in this application of the term, the notion of a distinction of race or stock is implied, or at least the notion of a totality of persons distinguished from other totalities by sameness of language, community of law, and increase of their numbers among themselves only. Cicero (pro Balbo, c13) speaks of “Gentes universae in civitatem receptae, ut Sabinorum, Volscorum, Hernicorum.” It is a consequence of such meaning of Gens, rather than an independent meaning, that the word is sometimes used to express a people simply with reference to their territorial limits.
The words Gens and Gentiles have a special meaning in the system of the Roman law and in the Roman constitution. Cicero has preserved a definition of Gentiles which was given by Scaevola, the pontifex, and which, with reference to the time, must be considered complete. Those were Gentiles, according to Scaevola, (1) who bore the same name, (2) who were born of freemen (ingenui), (3) none of whose ancestors had been a slave, and (4) who had suffered no capitis diminutio. This definition contains nothing which shows a common bond of union among gentiles, such the possession of a common name; but those who had a common name were not gentiles, if the three other conditions, contained in this definition, were not applicable to them. There is also a definition of gentilis by Festus:— “That is called Gens Aelia which is composed (conficitur) of many familiae. Gentilis is both one who is of the same stock (genus), and one who is called by the same name (simili nomine),1 as Cincius says, those are my gentiles who are called by my name.”
But the Jews use this same word to mean a people called by some other name!! Are you beginning to understand how the rabbis of Judaism use clever distortions of language to fool the “stupid goyim”? So, from this study, it is quite evident that the word ‘Gentile’ is actually A SYNONYM for Israelite, since it means “kinsmen” or “people of the same race,” or even, “people called by the same name.” The Jewish usage of this word is thus exposed as a fraudulent usage. The rabbis simply made up a self-serving definition and the “Gentile” ministers don’t know any better!!! The devil tells really clever and convincing lies!
Who Are the Modern Jews?
Given this false dichotomy between Jews and non-Jews, it is instructive to find out how modern Jews define their own Jewishness. You will be very much surprised at their answers!!
From a Jewish source, discussing the various definitions of the word, ‘Jew’:
This difference in usage is strikingly illustrated in the Gospels: the Jews are recorded as having referred (mockingly) to Jesus as ‘King of Israel’, whereas the Roman, Pilate, and his soldiers refer to Him — both verbally and in writing — as ‘King of the Jews’ (Mark 15:32, 2, 9, 18, 26). For Christians, the word ‘Judaeus’ was conflated with the name of the villain of the gospel story, Judas Iscariot, who was considered the typical Jew. Judas was linked with the devil (Luke 33:3), and the result was an evil triangle of the devil-Jew-Judas. This relationship helped to establish the pejorative meaning of the word ‘Jew’ in popular usage. The noun could mean ‘extortionate usurer, driver of hard bargains, to overreach.’ [The Jews call it chutzpah. - Eli]
“Many attempts to root out these derogatory meanings by having the dictionary definitions revised have been made in the United States, England, and Europe; but have, however, met with little success, [This statement is incorrect. As we have seen in the evolution of the term “Jew”, they have been very successful in substituting the words “Hebrew” and “Israel” for the term, “Jew”. The false modesty of this statement belies their success. – Eli.] since the problem is not one of ill-will on the part of the lexicographers, but rather of semantics and popular usage. [Here, the Jews actually ADMIT that they are actively changing definitions and usages in order to change popular perceptions about Jews. Their control of the publishing industry, Hollywood and media has given them this editorial power. Is it not verboten these days to even criticize Jews? Pay close attention to the next sentence! – Eli]
“In order to avoid the unwelcome associations and connotations of the word, Jews began in the 19th century to call themselves HEBREWS AND ISRAELITES (e.g., Alliance Israelites Universelle, founded 1860). Nevertheless, these new names quickly took on the same pejorative associations as ‘Jew’, as scores of 19th century novels testify.
[Now, for the obligatory hoaxacaust propaganda:]
“Recently there has been a gradual change in the usage of the word. The brutal murder of a great part of the Jewish people during the Holocaust has limited subsequent degrading usage of the term. Since the conclusion of the war, anti-Semitism is under legal scrutiny in many countries, and this covers the use of ‘Jew’ in the pejorative sense, along with “Yid”, “Sheeny”, “Ikey” and the like. (Y.M.G./Ed.)” – The Encyclopedia Judaica.
They forgot to mention “Kike,” which is a word that Jews use in a derogatory manner of their fellow Jews, who are so obnoxious that not even other Jews can stand them!!! This statement proves, however, that incessant holocaust propaganda has a dumped a guilt trip on the entire non-Jewish world, and people today are actually afraid to say the word ‘Jew’ out loud, “for fear of the Jews”! At the same time that the Jews deny having any hidden power to alter your thoughts, they are busy altering your thoughts. Or, maybe it’s a Muslim conspiracy?
William Hollis, in his excellent survey of how the meaning(s) of the word ‘Jew’ have changed down through the centuries, cites a survey taken in the Israeli State, wherein a large number Jews were inquired of, as to how they define the word, Jew:
In the book, Hebrew Christianity a chapter entitled “A Matter of Definitions”, relates the following:
“As a consequence of the interest aroused by the Shalit case, a public opinion poll was held on the question. Fifteen hundred Jewish families were canvassed with the following results:
“12% declared that a Jew is a person whose father or mother is Jewish or who has a Jewish spouse.
“23% claimed that a Jew is a person who considers himself a Jew.
“19% held that a man born to a Jewish mother or who converts to Judaism is a Jew.
“13% said a Jew is one who lives in Israel or who identifies with the Jewish state.
“13% stated that a Jew is one who observes the Jewish religious practices.
“11% answered that a Jew is one who is raised and educated as a Jew.
“9% said they could not define it.
“These results were recorded in the Jerusalem Post of November 25, 1968. More could be said and other examples could be given to show the confusion in the Jewish world over definitions. But these should suffice to show that there is no uniformity or objective standard for defining Jewishness; virtually all definitions are subjective.”
(Source: http://anglo-saxonisrael.com/blog/?p=95 )
Note that, out of 1,500 Jewish families, not a single Jew defined the word as meaning, “Judah.”!! This shows that, in their own minds, the Jewish people really have no connection to ancient Judah. If the Jews themselves are confused as to how to define the word, “Jew’, how are Christians supposed to be able to do it!!!
Finally, this surprisingly candid admission by a Jew, who has tried, unsuccessfully, to argue against my position, is very revealing:
“To tell the truth, there are some jews that believe the talmud is equal to the torah. It is called the oral law. My personal opinion is that the talmud is just tradition and definitely not divine. Judaism is a religion of opinion and freedom, every jew has his own opinion about the torah, this opinion is expressed in the Talmud.”
There you have it! The traditions of men!!! Need I say more? I won’t reveal the name of this Jew, for the other Jews will try to kill him for telling the truth!!!
Jewish Interpolations
An interpolation is a deliberately false definition. It has only one purpose: to deceive.
Paul Maas has presented this analysis of interpolation:
“An investigation of this kind would be particularly desirable in the case of interpolations, i.e., that class of alterations (mostly insertions) which is not due to accident but is an attempt to restore the original or actually to represent forged matter as original, by a conscious but not openly admitted interference with the tradition.”
Knowing what we do about the Masoretic Text and the slavish Judeo-Christian adherence to Jewish tradition, the reader will now begin to appreciate how silly it is to proclaim a “King James only” theology. As I have been demonstrating, the KJV is replete with errors of definition, along with the outright fabrications of Jewish traditions, which are both anti-Christ and anti-Mosaic. Few Christians even suspect this. But we cannot understand Scripture without knowing these things. This is why Paul says, “Study to show thyself approved.” How many Judeo-Christians actually READ THEIR BIBLES? Apparently, the number is dismally low! Even fewer Jews read the Bible.
Continuing with Paul Maas:
“Alterations of this kind are particularly dangerous, as it is often very difficult to prove that a text based on them has been deformed (whereas scribal blunders normally produce obvious nonsense)…” – Paul Maas, Textual Criticism (translated by Barbara Flower, 1958).
So, we can see that deliberate interpolations pose a very serious obstacle to scholarship, precisely because they are craftily contrived not to be detected. But we in Identity, involving decades of studying Judaism’s deceptive techniques, are blowing the lid off of Judaism’s charades; and I can explain to you precisely how the Jews have distorted the Holy Scriptures and why they do it. The 4 Parts of this essay, The Exoneration of Paul, will go a long way in demonstrating these facts to you.
Both the Paulians, who grotesquely elevate their distorted interpretations of Paul ABOVE THE TEACHINGS OF JESUS CHRIST, and the Anti-Paulians, who take these false claims and blame them on Paul, have failed to take into consideration the various false translations, interpolations, dubious definitions and heretical modern traditions that have been constructed around the Pauline Epistles. Again, my contention is that Paul cannot be blamed for how his translators have butchered his work. And the next three parts of this thesis will prove that Paul was an Israelite Exclusivist and a Nomian (teacher of the Law), no doubt about it!
Wherever there is an apparent contradiction or false statement, I have dug into the Hebrew and Greek words that are in the particular passage, in order to see if perhaps the translators have missed something. Sometimes, the mistakes are innocent, as in the case of confusing idioms and figurative usages that are mistaken for literal expressions. Even many scholars are unaware of the fact that the New Testament contains many Hebrew idioms that have been awkwardly conveyed in Greek, to be even more awkwardly conveyed in English. These expressions are called “Hebrewisms.” Such expressions can never be taken literally. Paul’s use of the word “clouds,” for large numbers of people, is such an example, as in “a cloud of witnesses.” When he says that we will be “caught up in the clouds,” he is NOT talking about literal clouds, he is talking about the saints who will return with Jesus at the Second Coming. This Hebrewism is taken literally by the Rapturists to mean a physical lifting up into the sky, when Jesus Himself says that only the overcomers will be saved out of the Great Tribulation, but we, living in the flesh, will all be right here on earth, living through it or being destroyed by it.
“And ye shall be HATED by all men for my name’s sake, but he who endures till the end shall be saved.” (Mat. 10:22.)
So, if you want to be saved, better stick around!!!
True Judah and True Israel Identified
Now that you understand that the Jewish people cannot possibly be equated with the Judahites of the Bible, it is obvious that Jesus was neither a “Jew” by religion or race. He was an Israelite by race and a practitioner of the Mosaic Law by religion. Neither of these things is true of the Jews.
In order to appreciate Yahweh’s Inspired Word, you must understand who the REAL ISRAELITES ARE. Here are some observations by Identity authors:
“Amazingly, most all the evangelists in our land today teach that God no longer has a plan for the physical descendants of Israel under the New Covenant. They state that he is now working with only a spiritual Israel. But this is absolutely wrong. It is wrong because it is unscriptural and contrary to the word of God, for the Bible clearly shows how the great covenants, prophecies, and promises of God really concern an earthly people…That the new covenant was made with the descendants of the same physical people can be readily seen from Hebrews 8: 7-8:
“For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second. For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a New Covenant with the House of Israel and the House of Judah.” – Des Thomas, page 2, America, the Last Frontier for Mannaseh.
Did you notice that this NEW COVENANT IS WITH BOTH HOUSES (i.e., ALL TWELVE TRIBES!), not with some fictitious “church”? The Jews teach that the “other tribes” are gone forever. That’s NOT WHAT THE BIBLE TEACHES!
“It is the closing of the eyes and the stopping of the ears to the promises of God made to Israel through Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, through Moses, David, and the prophets that perpetuates our blindness – a blindness to the historical identification of the modern Anglo-Saxon, Celtic, Scandinavian and kindred peoples of Western Europe and Britain as descendants of ancient Israel. ..Why is it no one asks the question: “Where did our Caucasian ancestors come from?” The research has been done. The ancient tablets of our roots are even now displayed in the British Museum in London. The translations have been made and the connections traced, yet almost no one has heard. Almost no one has read these great discoveries.” – The Stone Kingdom, America, By E. Raymond Capt.
“Judaism’s masquerade as Biblical Judah and, moreover, as all Israel — which is the basis of Jewish Nationalism — becomes patently counterfeit when placed in juxtaposition with the historical record of the true Houses of Israel and Judah. Even a brief summary will show the contrast between the descendants of Biblical Jacob-Israel as opposed to the alien posterity of the cabal which claims for itself not only the Promised Land but the very name and inheritance of Israel.” — William Norman Saxon, in his booklet, “The Mask of Edom”, p. 8.
The Caucasian people are the TRUE ISRAELITES OF SCRIPTURE. Jesus was a blond-haired, blue-eyed Aryan. That is the unadulterated fact. Praise Yahweh!
Conclusion
The Greek word `Ioudaios’, meaning Judean, is incorrectly translated as meaning Jew, for the word `Jew’ implies many different meanings than would ‘Judah,’ `Judean’ or ‘Judahite.’ Knowing that the modern Jewish people are 95% Khazar and 5% Sephardic, and that NEITHER GROUP IS DESCENDED FROM THE HOUSES OR TRIBES OF ISRAEL OR JUDAH, it is quite obvious, given this knowledge, that the Jewish people are completely unrelated to either Judah or Israel. This masquerade is history’s greatest deception; and the Anti-Christ reigns in and through them. Many Jews are totally aware of this fact. Others are just as deceived by the rabbis as you are.
Having been deceived by a multitude of false definitions, deliberate mistranslations, modernist heresies, and Jewish fables, the Paul Cult has created a New Religion, the heresy of all heresies, which Paul himself prophesied would come just before the return of Jesus Christ.
He said, “There must come a FALLING AWAY first;” and WE ARE LIVING IN THE MIDDLE OF IT! (The Great Apostasy!) I praise Yahweh that we here assembled are not victims of this Apostasy but rather witnesses of it, so that we can warn the rest of the Flock to beware of this Great Delusion called Judeo-Christianity.
Having this historical and linguistic analysis behind us, we can now proceed to examine Paul’s Epistles, not to mention the rest of the Bible and History, in their true light!!!
