Talmudic Judaism's hatred for Christianity
THE TALMUD AND BIBLE BELIEVERS
The supreme hatred of Talmudic Judaism is reserved for and directed against the hated "adherers to the text" of Scripture who are, thus, accused of spurning the words of the Pharisee "Sages," as enshrined in the Babylonian Talmud. These "adherers" to the Bible are classified as the primary enemies of Judaism.
They are all "idolators," "heathen," "goy." They rank not only as animals — like the rest of the non-Jewish human race, but as the lowest and most despised form of life. The Talmud frequently refers to Bible adherents scathingly as "Samaritans" and "Cutheans," phraseology similarly used to excoriate Christians.
The Sadducees were
the first of these enemies. They were the constant opponents of the
Pharisees and their imported Babylonian paganism, misrepresented by the
Pharisees as the Tradition of the Elders, the "Oral Law" ostensibly
transmitted privately to Moses and on down, superseding anything written
in the Bible.
In
the six years of civil war between the Pharisees and Alexander
Jannaeus, King and High Priest of Jerusalem, 50,000 were killed on both
sides before this Sadducean ruler succumbed, and his widow Salome turned
affairs over to the Pharisees in 79 B.C. Her brother, Simon ben Shetah,
had been waiting for such an opportunity. The continued civil war
resulted in the sons of Alexander Jannaeus, Hyrcanus and Aristobulus, in
63 B.C., going hat in hand to Pompey, Caesar's Roman General in Syria,
asking him to invade Palestine and slaughter their respective opponents.
This is how Rome happened to be in power when Christ was born. Only
after Christ's Ascension did the Pharisees triumph.
Other enemies have been the Samaritans,
whom Our Lord seemed to favor. They had been brought in from Cutha and
other far places in the World Assyrian Empire, to take the place of the
ten Israel tribes deported in 721 B.C. They had adopted Biblical Judaism
and opposed the return from Babylon in 536 B.C. of the Pharisee-run
population. Each year a handful of Samaritans celebrate Passover on the
site of their former temple at Mt. Gerizim, an event contemptuously
referred to by American Jewish writers.
The Karaites arose
in the 8th century in Babylonia under Anan to plague the Pharisee top
element by scorning the Talmud and holding up the Bible as supreme
authority. A molten stream of hatred, therefore, was turned on them.
With true Talmudic "Brotherhood" and "tolerance," Anan was expelled from
Babylonia, and founded the Karaite sect in Jerusalem. Later, when the
few remaining thousands of Karaites were favored by the Czar of Russia,
although classed as "untouchables" by Talmudists, the latter offered to
join the Karaites to get immunity from Czarist displeasure — but the
Karaites turned them down as hypocrites.
The
supreme curses the Karaites have shared with Christians are due to the
adherence of the Karaites to the Bible, instead of the "sages," or
Jewish Talmud. They are likened to the Sadducees and Samaritans in this.
(See Exhibit 16, Exhibit 24, Exhibit 25, and Exhibit 26).
Talmudic Anti-Christianity
The
ultimate object of hatred in Talmudic Judaism is Christ, and the
targets of Talmudic hatred are not just Gentile non-Jews, "the people
who are like an ass — slaves who are considered the property of the
master" (Talmud,Kethuboth 111a).
Of these non-Jews, the Christians are most insanely hated and loathed
because their doctrines are the opposite of every Talmudic doctrine.
They rank not just as animals, like the rest of non-Talmudic humanity,
but almost as vermin, to be eradicated. Language in the Talmud is
virtually exhausted to find foul and hated names for Christians.
Min
(plural Minim) is used throughout the Talmud as a term to designate
Christians. In the "Shemoneh Esreh," or 18 Benedictions, the word has
been changed from time to time as wary non-Jews become aware of its
meaning. Note at the left column of Exhibit 284 that "Zaddukim" was substituted, and "Apikoresim."
In the right column of Exhibit 284 we see "Epicureans" substituted by Maimonides (a Talmudic pillar). Reference is made to uncensored Talmud editions of Berechoth 28b (left column, same Exhibit), Sanhedrin 27a, Horayoth 11a, and Gittin 45a.
The Berechoth statement reads: "The benediction relating to the minim
was instituted in Jabneh [Palestine] after the rest." The harangue goes
on to decree vengeance against anyone leaving out the benediction
against the minim, "because we suspect him of being min."
"The censored [ie. editions] have mumuar," says this exhibit from the Jewish Encyclopedia, instead of minim. And, in Sanhedrin 27a,
mumar is used to denounce as wholly disqualified one who eats meat
which is not slaughtered in kosher manner, thus showing "his contempt
for the law" (of the Talmud).
The Talmud Gittin 45b reference states that "a scroll of the Law which has been written by a min should be burnt." Distilled hate is the theme. [See Sabbath 116a] The Horayoth 11a citation
from the Talmud (page 79 of the Soncino edition, not reproduced here),
is another tirade against those who rank below "common people" — the
minim. It cites those who drink wine dedicated to an idol, referring to
Holy Communion. Christ is always the "idol" denounced by the Talmud,
while real idolatry in regard to spirits, planets, child burning to
Molech, Baal filth, are permitted in Judaism.
[page
13] Present day Jews keep up a continual propaganda that burning
anti-Christian, immoral or subversive books is the depth of bigotry,
bias and intolerance. But the teaching in Sabbath 111a [correction: Sabbath 116a]
of the Talmud is even cited in the Jewish Encyclopedia (under
Gentiles), which holds that Christian books should be burned "without
regard to the name of God appearing therein." (See Exhibit 273, right hand column.)
Characteristic
of charging as a crime against others what Talmudists themselves are
doing, a Sanhedrin passage denounces Christ as a sorcerer (Talmud, Exhibit 76).
It was to refute this Talmudic teaching of hate against Christ, that
Martin Luther wrote his "Shemhamphoras" on the charge that Christ did
His miracles by sorcery, using the Tetragrammaton, which, in some Talmud
passages, He is said to have stolen and hidden in His flesh!
Christ was amazingly correct in designating the Talmudic Pharisees as children of the Father of Lies. (John 8:44)
Christianity Calls from Hell
Christianity
is likened in the Talmud to one of two daughters of a horse-leech
calling from hell, "Bring, bring!" One is the government — "Which
constantly imposes fresh taxes and duties" and the other "Minuth"
(Christianity) — "Which continually lures the unwary to its erroneous
teaching" — a Biblical verse is then misused as a curse "applied to
those converted to idolatry" (Christianity). Then another says the voice
of hell is calling to bring these two "daughters," "who cry and call in
this world," back to hell. (See Exhibit 179)
Incest Preferable to Christianity
The
Talmud speaks of a woman who confessed that her younger son was the
offspring of her older son and that incest was her lightest sin, and
wanted to die in peace but could not, for if incest was her lightest sin
"it may be assumed that she had also adopted minuth [Christianity] …
that is why she did not die … . Since she said of her guilt that it is
one of the lightest, it may be assumed that she was guilty of idolatry
[Christianity] also."
A
tale follows about a Rabbi who visited every harlot in the world,
crossing seven rivers to get at the last one. He is allowed to die in
peace because he had not committed the unforgivable minuth
(Christianity). (Talmud, Abodah Zarah l7a, Exhibit 180)
Death from Snakebite Preferable
The
Talmud says that Rabbi Ishmael (sage) has a nephew who is bitten by a
snake and wants to let Jacob, a Disciple of Jesus, heal him, but dies in
the middle of the sentence. The Rabbi thereupon exclaims: "Happy art
thou Ben Dama for thou wert pure in body and thy soul likewise left thee
in purity … ." His joy was because, of course, it was preferable to die
of snakebite than to be healed by a Christian. (Talmud, Abodah Zarah
27b, see Exhibit 187)
Jesus and the High Priest's Privy
The
Talmud tale is told that, because of talking to a Christian Disciple of
Jesus, a Rabbi is suspected of being pro-Christian, which makes him
deeply ashamed. He tells the lie that Jesus taught that the hire of a
harlot may be used to build a privy for the high priest. (Abodah Zarah
16b-17a) This last pleased the rabbi very much, he says. (Exhibit 178)
This
filthy and false story to defame Christ is used in a typical Pharisee
lie by Rabbi Louis Finklestein in his publication "The Pharisees" (See
pages xv-xvi of the Foreword. Exhibit 1, Exhibit 2, and Exhibit 3 herein
are from same publication.) Any epithets directed at Pharisaism by
Christians in the early centuries Finklestein ascribes to conflict
between Christians and "their former comrades, who continued loyal to
unaltered Pharisaism. Nevertheless, the Pharisee and the Christian
remained sufficiently close to regard one another with respect."
Then
the above Rabbi Eliezer lie is used as a compliment!: "Rabbi Eliezer
ben Hyrcanus, one of the most orthodox of the sages, offered high praise
to an interpretation of Scripture given by an early Christian" (Aboda Zara l7a). This is the self-same libel on Christ!
More Lies to Fool Us
At
the time the Jewish Encyclopedia was published in 1905 there was no
English translation of the Talmud with identifying folio numbers. The
first, by Rodkinson in 1903, was not only abridged, but also without
folio numbers. Only with the relatively recent Soncino English
translation of the Talmud do we have folio numbers and overt,
unmistakable references which require no argument or interpretation for
non-Jews. However, in 1905, lies concerning the Talmud were quite safe
from prying non-Jewish eyes.
The
1905 Jewish Encyclopedia states: "During the first century of
Christianity the Rabbis lived on friendly terms with the minim"
(Christians).
Anyone
familiar with the liquid fire turned on Pharisaism by Christ in the New
Testament is not fooled by this. However, to buttress this lie, the
above false privy tale attributed to Jesus is told as though it
indicated friendliness — Abodah Zarah 16b-17a. Concerning the above anti-Christian "snakebite" story from the Talmud, the Encyclopedia then states (Exhibit 267 herein):
Quote
"Ben Dama, a nephew of Rabbi Ishmael, having been bitten by a snake, allowed himself to be cured by means of an exorcism uttered by the min Jacob, a Judaeo-Christian."
Does
not this one series of circumstances once again illustrate how
amazingly correct Christ was in designating the Pharisees as children of
the Father of Lies (John 8:44)?
Jesus Knew The Talmud
Rodkinson
(M. Levi Frumkin), who made the first English translation of the
Babylonian Talmud, asks, in the section on the History of the
Talmud: [page 14]
Quote
Is the literature that Jesus was familiar with in his early years yet in existence in the world? Is it possible for us to get at it? … To such inquiries the learned class of Jewish rabbis answer by holding up the Talmud … . The Talmud then, is the written form of that which, in the time of Jesus, was called the Traditions of the Elders, and to which he makes frequent allusions. (See Exhibit 27)
The Talmud and Mary, Mother of Jesus
She is called "Miriam, a dresser of women's hair." She "committed adultery." (Exhibit 75)
"She played the harlot with carpenters." (Exhibit 114)
All
rabbinical sources ascribe to Jesus, "illegitimate birth ... the
seducer was a soldier by the name of Panthera [also called Pandira. and
Stada]." "Pappus [husband of Mary] has nothing to do with the story of
Jesus, and was only connected with it because his wife happened to be
called "Miriam" [Maryl and was known to be an adulteress."
All
the Life of Jesus (Toledot Yeshu) "editions contain a similar story of a
dispute which Jesus carried on with the scribes who on the ground of
that dispute declared him to be a bastard." (Jewish Encyclopedia,
"Jesus," Exhibit 277)
Christ as "Balaam"
Under the name of "Balaam" the most lewd Talmud passages concerning Jesus appear. Proof that Jesus is called "Balaam"
is found in the Jewish Encyclopedia (under "Balaam") which, after
enumerating His alleged loathsome qualities, states: "Hence … the
pseudonym 'Balaam' given to Jesus in Sanhedrin 106b and Gittin 57a." (See Exhibit 111, Exhibit 112, Exhibit 113, Exhibit 114, Exhibit 115, Exhibit 274, Exhibit 275, Exhibit 278, and Exhibit 279)
In
the same article, we are told that the Talmud likens the Gospel
Christians and Christ to Baal sex-worshippers because of whose
abominations 24,000 Israelites died of plague at the time of Balaam. (Numbers 25:1-9)
Because Balaam had been asked to curse the Israelites but instead did not and foretold the coming Messiah (Numbers 24:17),
the flimsy pretext is made that Jesus was a curse like Balaam. "He is
pictured as blind of one eye and lame in one foot and his disciples
distinguished by three morally corrupt qualities …" He is called "one
that ruined a people," and His churches are likened to nudist Baal
worship.
And,
"this hostility against his memory finds its climax in the dictum that
whenever one discovers a feature of wickedness or disgrace in his life,
one should preach about it." (Sanhedrin 106b)
Turning to Exhibit 114,
which is Sanhedrin 106a-l06b of the Talmud, mentioned above, we see the
likening of Jesus to the supposed act of Balaam in causing 24,000
Israelites to go whoring and die of plague (some 1450 years before
Christ was born). He is due for his "reward" for this infamy. His
mother, Mary, is "She who … played the harlot with carpenters … They
subjected him to four deaths, stoning, burning, decapitation and
strangulation … he was thirty-three or thirty-four years old." Another
says: "I … have seen Balaam's Chronicle in which it stated, 'Balaam the
lame was thirty years old when Phinehas the Robber killed him.'"
The footnote explains:
Quote
"Balaam is frequently used in the Talmud as a type for Jesus." The mother of Jesus is identified, the four deaths enumerated, "and … all the Balaam passages are anti-Christian in tendency, Balaam being used as an alias for Jesus, Phinehas the Robber is thus taken to represent Pontius Pilate, and the Chronicle of Balaam probably to denote a Gospel."
Verifying
the Jewish Encyclopedia account above on Balaam being Jesus in the
Talmud we see: "in the case of the wicked Balaam: whatever you find
written about him, lecture upon it to his disadvantage." (Exhibit 115)
Christian churches are likened to tents for Baal prostitution, with old
women outside, young ones inside to get customers drunk and disrobe and
worship the "idol," Jesus, in Baal manner, by prostitution. (Exhibit 112)
Hanging a calumny on the brief mention in the Bible that Balaam was slain (Numbers 32:8), the above passage in Sanhedrin is cited by the Jewish Encyclopedia thus: "In the process of killing Balaam [Num. xxxi.8], all four legal methods of execution — stoning, burning, decapitating, and strangling — were employed" [Sanh. 1.c]. (See Exhibit 274) "He met his death at the age of thirty-three (Ibid) and it is stated that he had no portion in the world to come" (Sanh. x. 2; 90a).
Sanhedrin 90a of the Talmud, denying "Balaam" a place in the world to come, begins with Exhibit 96 herein.
There it is stated that the resurrection being denied by Sadducees and
Samaritans, "It was to oppose these that the doctrine was emphatically
asserted in the second of the Eighteen Benedictions." The "sin" of
pronouncing the Tetragrammaton is cited against Christ and Christians. (Exhibit 97)
The
curse of Christians, as those who pronounce the "Name" as "spelt"
(Tetragrammaton) and read "uncanonical books," begins with a Mishnah
(starting with Exhibit 97). Vague meanderings to throw off a possible Christian reader appear in the footnotes (Exhibit 97)
with a hint that the "uncanonical books" may mean this or that, but:
"There are indications, however, that something more is meant."
But the footnote to "uncanonical books," still being discussed 68 pages later (See Exhibit 102) overtly reveals that the reference is to the New Testament, and that the word "Sadducees" is used to indicate "Gentiles."
The 18 Benedictions
The
"religious" Orthodox Jew recites the "Eighteen Benedictions," or
"Shemoneh Esreh," three times week days, four times on holidays and
Sabbaths, the 7th and 12th of which curse the Christians and non-Jews to
hell and perdition. Thus, the "good Orthodox Jew" gives us Christians 6
cursings on ordinary days, 8 on "specials." Note all the varieties of
double talk which have been utilized down the centuries to keep the
truth about the "Shemoneh Esreh" from the non-Jews, who might not be
friendly to those who recite this "Brotherhood" litany religiously 6 to 8
times daily! Note: "In order to obviate hostile misconstructions, the
text was modified …," and one change after another [page 15] to fool the
non-Jew is enumerated. (See Exhibit 284)
The
12th benediction, the "Birkat ha-Minim" (curse against Christians,
etc.) "furnished the traducers of Judaism and the Jews a ready weapon of
attack." (See Exhibit 284)
This "Petition Against Enemies" (non-Jews) is called an "imprecatory
appeal." "Imprecatory" means, of course, "invoking evil, a curse"
(Webster). It is further stated by the cautious Jewish Encyclopedia
(same Exhibit), "The seventh benediction … looks like a duplication and is superfluous."
The
Jewish Encyclopedia also cites a recommendation by the "sages" for
daily recitation of the "benediction:" "Blessed be thou who hast not
made me a goy." (See Exhibit 273)
In the Talmud, the Christian is also planted in Hell for eternity under a deluge of "boiling excrement" if opposing "Judaism:"
Quote
"Whoever mocks the words of the Sages is punished with boiling hot excrement." (Talmud, Gittin 57a; Exhibit 202)
On
this same page, where the ordinary Christian gets this eternal fate,
Christ is similarly punished forever in hell with "boiling semen."
The Talmud — Five Deaths to Jesus
Jesus,
as stated in both the Talmud and Jewish Encyclopedia, gets "four legal
methods of execution" and is Crucified as well, as a blasphemer of
Pharisee Judaism.
Jesus stoned, then "hanged" or crucified, Sanhedrin 43a-45b (Exhibit 46 and Exhibit 48); Sanhedrin 67a (Exhibit 75), where under another phony name (Ben Stada) Jesus is identified as "Jesus of Nazareth." See Jewish Encyclopedia, Exhibit 277 and Exhibit 8.
As to Judas, we are told (Exhibit 279)
that: "when Judas found he could not touch Jesus in any way, in aerial
battle, he defiled him" (the "privy concept," once again, which runs
through the Talmud).
Jesus' apostles all killed, Sanhedrin 43a, b (Exhibit 47).
Their names are decoded by Jewish Encyclopedia (seeExhibit 278, right column.)
Jesus crucified as a "blasphemer," Sanhedrin 46a (Exhibit 51), Jewish Encyclopedia (Exhibit 276).
Jesus burned, Sanhedrin 52a (Exhibit 52); manner of burning, Yebamoth 6b (Exhibit 151), verified by Jewish Encyclopedia under "Balaam" (Exhibit 274).
He is "lowered into dung up to his armpits then a hard cloth was placed
within a soft one, wound round his neck and the two loose ends pulled
in opposite directions forcing him to open his mouth. A wick was then
lit, and thrown into his mouth so that it descended into his body and
burnt his bowels … his mouth was forced open with pinchers against his
wishes (Exhibit 52)
And: "The death penalty of 'burning' was executed by pouring molten
lead through the condemned man's mouth into his body, burning his
internal organs. (Exhibit 152)
Jesus
strangled: "He was lowered into dung up to his armpits then a hard
cloth was placed within a soft one, wound round his neck, and the two
ends pulled in opposite directions until he was dead." (Talmud,
Sanhedrin 52a, Exhibit 53)
This is repeated (Sanhedrin 106b; Exhibit 114) and verified by the Jewish Encyclopedia (Exhibit 274).
Jesus in hell where His punishment is "boiling in hot semen." (Talmud, Gittin 57a; Exhibit 202) The subject is identified as Jesus in a footnote, also in the Jewish Encyclopedia under "Balaam." (Exhibit 275)
Christians
in hell (in the above passage) are punished by "boiling hot excrement"
which is the punishment for all who mock "at the words of the sages"
(i.e. the Talmud).
Jesus "committed bestiality," "corrupted the people," is "turned into hell." (Talmud Sanhedrin 105a; Exhibit 106 andExhibit 107)
Jesus
"limped on one foot" and "was blind in one eye," "he practiced
enchantment by means of his membrum," "he committed bestiality with his
ass," he was a fool who "did not even know his beast's mind." (Talmud,
Sanhedrin l05a-105b; Exhibit 108 and 109) The ridiculous and foul misuse of Judges 5:27 about Sisera's dying convulsions meaning sexual intercourse is here applied to Jesus, with a footnote "explanation" of Judges 5:27: "This is taken to mean sexual intercourse …"
Jesus
attempts to seduce women, is excommunicated by a rabbi and then
worships a brick, was a seducer of Israel, and practiced magic. (Talmud,
Sanhedrin l07b; Exhibit 117), also the Jewish Encyclopedia (See Exhibit 277).
Jesus is cited in the index of the Sanhedrin portion of Talmud, "chief repository of the criminal law of the Talmud" (See Exhibit 43), which shows the page numbers where He is denounced. (Exhibit 118)
Jesus' resurrection is cursed: "Woe unto him who maketh himself alive by the name of God." (Talmud, Sanhedrin 106a; Exhibit 111)
The
trial of Jesus: "It was by the action of the priests that Jesus was
sent before Pontius Pilate." The Sanhedrin priests "had most reason to
be offended with Jesus' action in cleansing the Temple," the probable
place of His trial, according to the Talmud. His cry: "My God, my God,
why hast thou forsaken me?" … was in all its implications itself a
disproof of the exaggerated claims made for him. The very form of his
punishment would disprove these claims in Jewish eyes. No Messiah that
Jews could recognize could suffer such a death; for "He that is hanged
is accursed of God" (Deuteronomy xxi. 23).
This refers to an "evil son" and Talmudist Rashi adds "an insult to
God." The foregoing is from the Jewish Encyclopedia under "Jesus." (See Exhibit 276)
Other foul charges against Jesus and His mother, His being a "bastard," and the like, follow. (Exhibit 277 from the same Encyclopedia)
