Lessons from the Holocaust to be shared with Catholic students
By Sharyn McCowen
16 January, 2011
Anthony Cleary, director of religious education and evangelisation for the Catholic Education Office, Sydney, is in Jerusalem this month to develop a greater understanding of the Holocaust which he can then share with teachers and students in Australia.
Mr Cleary received a scholarship from the Gandel Foundation and Yad Vashem, the Holocaust Martyrs’ and Heroes’ Remembrance Authority in Jerusalem, to attend an international program.
“I’m very conscious of the significance of the event of the Holocaust as a terrible event in human history but also showing why religious dialogue is so important,” he said.
[...] A former history and English teacher, Mr Cleary previously taught students about the Holocaust from books.
“One thing I really hope to do at the end of it is to educate young people in our schools,” he said. “I’m looking forward to immersing myself in the cradle of Christian religion. I’m also looking forward to an immersion of Jewish culture and come to a greater understanding of something I used to be the teacher of for many years.
[...] The course runs from January 5-24, and Mr Cleary will then return to Sydney to examine the possibility of incorporating this information into the curriculum, and into the education of teachers.

Come on Cardinal,let's not make the Jews the scapegoat of the world.Jews and non-Jews were communists. Lenin was in fact a Lutheran ,Stalin was lasped orthodox priest.
Let 's remember that Christianity is jewish-that Christ completed what Judaism has been looking for,but never ever get caught up in the crap that paints the jews as the harbingers of world misery. i am surpsied that you have fallen for this. Rememebr the warnign of scripture " he who curses you i will curse and he who blessss you I will also bless"
Cone on Mattias, don't be silly.
Lenin spoke Yiddish, and Stalin was a seminarian, not a priest.
I suggest you peruse the Soncino Talmud for an object lesson in how perverse and evil Judaism is.

Struth you have come straight from a Nuremberg rally
Evil Judaism?! what a load of crap.Yes jews persecuted Christians in the first years of the Early church,but then they were persecuting other Jews at that time.
Since then it has been the Church ,and people like you Wolsey ,who persecuted Jews and others. Jesus the Prince of Peace,Born a Jew,would have no truck with the excremental remarks you have made.Next you will tell me that martin Bryant did not do the port Arthur massacre-it was a military exercise gone wrong!!!!
Matthias,
That's right, twit, when you can't present a rational argument, resort to ad hominems.
You deserve a kick up the arse.

Here, from the Babylonian Talmud, Tractate Niddah 44b:
MISHNAH. A GIRL OF THE AGE OF THREE YEARS AND ONE DAY MAY BE BETROTHED BY INTERCOURSE; IF THE YABAM HAD INTERCOURSE WITH HER, HE ACQUIRES HER THEREBY; THE GUILT OF ADULTERY MAY BE INCURRED THROUGH HER, AND SHE CAUSES UNCLEANNESS TO THE MAN WHO HAD INTERCOURSE WITH HER SO THAT HE IN TURN CONVEYS UNCLEANNESS TO THAT UPON WHICH HE LIES,30 AS TO A GARMENT WHICH HAS LAIN UPON [A ZAB]. GEMARA. Our Rabbis taught: A girl of the age of three years may be betrothed by intercourse; so R. Meir. But the Sages say: Only one who is three years and one day old.
Mishna = (originally) oral law.
Gemara = Rabbinical commentary.
The "Yabam" was the brother of a deceased husband, bound to marry his sister-in-law in a levirate marriage.

The Complete Guide to Killing Non-Jews

http://didiremez.wordpress.com/2009/11/09/settler-rabbi-publishes-the-complete-guide-to-killing-non-jews/
Rabbi Eliyahu exhorts the killing of women and children:
http://www.jpost.com/Israel/Article.aspx?id=63137
Rabbis Yitzhak Ginzburg and Yaakov Yosef endorse Rabbi Yitzhak Shapiro’s 2009 book endorsing the killing of babies and children, adding “It is permissable to kill the Righteous among Nations even if they are not responsible for [threatening Israel]. If we kill a Gentile who has sinned or has violated one of the seven commandments - because we care about the commandments - there is nothing wrong with the murder."
http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/1126890.html
“Who is funding the rabbis who endorse killing Gentile babies?” By Akiva Eldar, Ha’aretz, 11/17/09
“…For example, [Israel’s] government ministries regularly transfer support and funding to a yeshiva whose rabbi determined that it is permissible to kill gentile babies "because their presence assists murder, and there is reason to harm children if it is clear that they will grow up to harm us ... it is permissible to harm the children of a leader in order to stop him from acting evilly ... we have seen in the Halakha that even babies of gentiles who do not violate the seven Noahide laws, there is cause to kill them because of the future threat that will be caused if they are raised to be wicked people like their parents….”

"The Jew by his source and in his very essence is entirely good. The goy, by his source and his very essence, is completely evil. This is not simply a matter of religious distinction, but rather of two completely different species." Rabbi Saadya Grama, Romemut Yisrael Ufarashat Hagalut ("Jewish Superiority and the Question of Exile") 2003.
“Souls of non-Jews come entirely from the female part of the Satanic sphere. For this reason souls of non-Jews are called evil.” [Yesaiah Tishbi, Torat ha-Rave-ha-Kelippahnbe-Kabbalat ha-Ari (The Theory of Evil and the Satanic Sphere in Kabbalah) 1942, reprinted 1982]
"Some of the Turks and the nomads in the North, and the Blacks and the nomads in the South, and those who resemble them in our climates. And their nature is like the nature of mute animals, and according to my opinion they are not on the level of human beings, and their level among existing things is below that of a man and above that of a monkey, because they have the image and the resemblance of a man more than a monkey does." Maimonides explaining who is not fit “to participate in the world to come,” Guide for the Perplexed, Book III, chapter 51 cited in Israel Shahak, Hebrew University Professor, Jewish History, Jewish Religion: The Weight of Three Thousand Years.

JUDAISM’S HERMENEUTIC OF DECEIT
SIX CATEGORIES OF LYING PERMITTED BY THE TORAH:
scholarship (including Torah scholarship), sexuality, and hospitality
The Talmud: The Steinsaltz Edition, Vol II, p.49
lying to gentiles (Baba Kamma 113a)
for "peace" (meaning, "it's OK to lie to keep out of trouble") (Yebamoth 65b)
when everyone should know you are lying, "guzmah" (Hullin 90b)
It is strictly forbidden to moser [inform the non-Judaic authorities on] either a Jewish person or his property. One who mosers a Jewish person or his property has no share in the world to come. (Shulchan Aruch, Choshen Mishpat, 388)
“CONTEXT”
"'Context' is everything for the defenders of the Talmud. Fair enough. But by 'context' they do not mean taking into account the surrounding text, but rather submitting to Judaism's own narrative about itself, which includes how it presents problem texts to non-Judaic audiences.... The rabbis even deny in many cases that there is a plain meaning.... It is enough that [the rabbi] states it and gentiles believe it; anything else is 'antisemitic.' This pattern of intimidation and thought control is repeated with monotonous effect, by thought cops and apologists for Judaism. It is a stock response intended to frighten off the opposition, premised mainly on the moral authority of the declarative sentences used by the 'expert' on Judaism. Debate ('polemic') on the part of informed skeptics is not permitted, since it constitutes the 'misuse' of a scholar's knowledge of rabbinic texts. Debating tactics and polemical tools are reserved solely for rabbis and their allies, along with just a dash of permissible dissimulation to leaven the burden of swallowing the pottage. And when deception and 'out of context' statements serve to advance Judaism, they are all well and good...." Michael Hoffman, Judaism Discovered: A Study of the Anti-Biblical Religion of Racism, Self-Worship, Superstition, and Deceit. ISBN 13: 9780970378453 pages 137-138
NOAHIDE LAW
"If a Noahite is striving in the learning of Torah... reveals new aspects of Torah, he may be PHYSICALLY RESTRAINED and informed that he is liable for CAPITAL PUNISHMENT... If the court that is established in consonance with the Seven Universal Laws gives the DEATH PENALTY to a Noahite, the EXECUTION is an atonement for the person's past transgression... Furthermore, the Noahite must experience REINCARNATION to be able to atone for transgressions he has done." Chaim Clorfene & Yakov Rogalsky, "The Path of the Righteous Gentile: An Introduction to the Seven Laws of the children of Noah," (Feldheim Publishers, 1987) p. 42 (The book bears an official letter of approval of its contents by Rabbi Mendel Feldman, Shearith Israel Congregation.)
"The Christians are idolaters, and Sunday is their holiday..." [Maimonides, Mishneh Torah, Avodah Zorah, 9;4]
"The Christians are worshipers of Avodah Zorah ["idolatry"]" [Maimonides, Mishneh Torah, Ma'akhalot Assurot, 11:7]
"It is a mitzvah [religious duty], however, to eradicate Jewish traitors, minim [Christians], and apikorsim, ["heretics," i.e., sincere Judaic converts to Christianity] and to cause them to descend to the pit of destruction, since they cause difficulty to the Jews and sway the people away from God, as did Jesus of Nazareth and his students, and Tzadok, Baithos, and their students. May the name of the wicked rot." [Maimonides, Mishneh Torah, Chapter 10]
"... a gentile who worships false gods is liable, [for the death penalty] provided he worships them in the accepted manner [in other words, insincere worship such as (1) faking worship to obtain business or social advantage, as the Marranos, or (2) denying Jesus' divinity, does not earn the death penalty]. A gentile is executed for every type of foreign worship which a Jewish court would consider worthy of capital punishment." [Maimonides, Hilchot Melachim XI, Mishneh Torah]
The Jewish Encyclopedia affirms that the punishment for Christian "idolatry" is beheading. See:
"Laws, Noachian," Jewish Encyclopedia entry,
http://www.jewishencyclopedia.com/view.jsp?artid=113&letter=L
One of many possible examples of how the “Noahide Law” system of double-standards is absurdly preferential to “Jews” and tyrannical towards everyone else from the Babylonian Talmud:
"A non-Jew is put to death on the basis of a decision given by one judge [no jury], and on the basis of testimony given by a single witness, and even if he was not given a proper warning prior to the commission of his offense. He is put to death on the basis of testimony and a decision given by a man but not on the basis of testimony and a decision given by a woman, and the man who testified or decided against him can even be a relative. "A Jew can only be put to death by a court of twenty-three judges, and on the basis of the testimony of two male witnesses who are not disqualified from testifying on account of kinship, and after being properly warned against committing the transgression. But none of these rules apply in the case of a non-Jew." [Babylonian Talmud, Sanhedrin 57b, Steinsaltz edition, vol.18, page 110]
Rabbis Yitzhak Ginzburg and Yaakov Yosef endorse Rabbi Yitzhak Shapiro’s 2009 book endorsing the killing of Gentile babies and children, adding “It is permissable to kill the Righteous among Nations even if they are not responsible for [threatening Israel]. If we kill a Gentile who has sinned or has violated one of the seven commandments - because we care about the commandments - there is nothing wrong with the murder."
http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/1126890.html
Much like the word "Torah" makes a Christian wrongly think that the rabbis are referring to the Pentateuch, but actually refer to "Torah SheBeal Peh" (the Oral "Torah" that was later compiled into the Talmud and Kabbalistic books), Christians think that the "Noah" of "Noachide Law" is the biblical Noah, but wrong again. No, the Noah of the Noachide Law is most unbiblical, mocked in the rabbinical literature as an incompetent drunk incapable of fulfilling God's commission, and who compounded the sin of Adam.
"Three had a passion of agriculture [N.B. farming is an occupation of disrepute in Judaism] and no good was found in them: Cain, Noah, and Uzziah." Midrash Rabbah: Genesis I, translated by Rabbi Dr. H. Freedman (Soncino, 1983) vol. 1, p. 289.
"The rabbis teach that Noah ended as a castrate. One story has it that he was castrated by a lion while he was drunk and on his way to have intercourse and this `scattered his semen.' Alternatively the Midrash says that it was actually Ham who castrated Noah, and that Noah told Ham, `You have prevented me from doing something in the dark [having sex], therefore your seed will be ugly and dark-skinned.'" Midrash Rabbah: Genesis I, translated by Rabbi Dr. H. Freedman (Soncino, 1983) vol. 1, p. 283.
"It is claimed that as `Noahides,' these `good' gentiles will not have to follow all the rules of the Talmud of Judaism, only the `Seven Laws of Noah.' What they are not told is that in order to faithfully adhere to the so-called Seven Laws of Noah, the `righteous gentiles' are obligated to suffer the prize indignity of submitting to rabbinic interpretations of those laws, which amount to an infinite number of glosses and explications running from here to eternity. A more accurate name for the heavy burdens with which these gullible gentiles are going to bind themselves would be the Seven Billion Noachide Laws.... Maimonides ruled that when a Judaic murders even a righteous gentile (a gentile who is a friend and ally of Judaism) the Judaic is not to be harmed: `A Jew who killed a righteous gentile is not executed in a court of law as it says (Exodus 21:14 `If a man shall act intentional against his fellow...' (and a gentile is not considered a fellow) and even more so that he is not executed for killing an unrighteous gentile.' (Maimonides, Mishneh Torah, Hilchot Rotze'ach 2:11. The Judaic publishing company's commentary accompanying the preceding teaching of Maimonides states that Jesus was an example of a min (plural: minim)." Michael Hoffman, Judaism Discovered: A Study of the Religion of Racism, Self-Worship, Superstition, and Deceit, ISBN 13: 9780970378453, pp. 496-499
The rabbis teach that Jesus Himself was an idolater [Sanhedrin 43a, 107b], even teaching such insanities as claiming that Jesus worshipped a brick. [Babylonian Talmud Sanhedrin 67a, 107b] There are, of course, other numerous scurrilous accusations against Jesus in the Talmud and rabbinical literature. Though the passages have been denied and expurgated Talmud editions have been published, often using code words for Jesus, Princeton Professor and Director of JUDAIC Studies Peter Schafer has examined dozens of Talmud editions in the original and vernacular languages. Schafer not only adduces the explicit references to Jesus of Nazareth, but he also traces the code words used in the Talmud editions expurgated and sanitized for Gentile consumption. Schafer traces from edition to tractate to folio how "Balaam," "that man," "the carpenter," "ben Pandera" (son of Pandera), the blank spaces, and the rest of the code words refer to Jesus of Nazareth. In his book "Jesus in the Talmud" (ISBN 13: 978-0691129266) Schafer has affirmed that the Talmud teaches that that Jesus was an idolater [Sanhedrin 43a, 107b], was a "mamzer" [bastard] conceived adulterously in "niddah" [menstrual filth] by a Roman soldier named Pandera [Kallah 51a] of a whore [Sanhedrin 106a] and that He is now in Hell boiling in feces and, in some editions because Jesus is accused of sexual perversion, semen [Gittin 57a]. Schafer documents much more, including the Talmud claim that the Sanhedrin justly executed Jesus because he was an idolater [Sanhedrin 43a, 107b] who worshipped a brick [Sanhedrin 67a], even boasting that the Sanhedrin overcame Roman opposition to the execution of Jesus [Sanhedrin 43a].
Practicing Christians worship Jesus as True God and True man, hence, under Torah law, are idolaters liable for execution.

Good grief, Reg. Fair crack of the horse whip and all that. I had no idea you had such sentiments. Go easy on our friend Matthias - calling him a "twit" is a bit strong, ol' chap. Not the done thing and all that. I know that this is your blog and not mine, but how about a bit of "niceness"? I am not sure that your name sake was quite so anti-Semitic. Grab a bottle of kosher wine and go over and have a few drinks with your friendly neighbourhood Orthodox Jew. I think you will find that you have a lot that you can agree on in the worldview area...

2007 Amnesty International Report "Increased violence between Israelis and Palestinians resulted in a threefold increase in killings of Palestinians by Israeli forces. The number of Israelis killed by Palestinian armed groups diminished by half. More than 650 Palestinians, including some 120 children, and 27 Israelis were killed. Israeli forces carried out air and artillery bombardments in the Gaza Strip, and Israel continued to expand illegal settlements and to build a 700-km fence/wall on Palestinian land in the Occupied Territories. Military blockades and increased restrictions imposed by Israel on the movement of Palestinians and the confiscation by Israel of Palestinian customs duties caused a significant deterioration in living conditions for Palestinian inhabitants in the Occupied Territories, with poverty, food aid dependency, health problems and unemployment reaching crisis levels. Israeli soldiers and settlers committed serious human rights abuses, including unlawful killings, against Palestinians, mostly with impunity. Thousands of Palestinians were arrested by Israeli forces throughout the Occupied Territories on suspicion of security offences and hundreds were held in administrative detention. Israeli conscientious objectors continued to be imprisoned for refusing to serve in the army. In a 34-day war against Hizbullah in Lebanon in July-August, Israeli forces committed serious violations of international humanitarian law, including war crimes. Israeli bombardments killed nearly 1,200 people, and destroyed or damaged tens of thousands of homes and other civilian infrastructure. Israeli forces also littered south Lebanon with around a million unexploded cluster bombs which continued to kill and maim civilians after the conflict.” http://thereport.amnesty.org/eng/Regions/Middle-East-and-North-Africa/Israel-and-the-Occupied-Territories
May 30, 2007 Former Sephardi Chief Rabbi Mordechai Eliyahu announces “absolutely no moral prohibition against the indiscriminate killing of civilians.” His son, Chief Rabbi of Safed Schmuel Eliyahu added, "If they don't stop after we kill 100, then we must kill a thousand," said Shmuel Eliyahu. "And if they do not stop after 1,000 then we must kill 10,000. If they still don't stop we must kill 100,000, even a million. Whatever it takes to make them stop."

October 18, 2010 Senior Sephardi Rabbi Ovadia Yosef announces that Gentiles only exist to serve Jews:
“Goyim were born only to serve us. Without that, they have no place in the world – only to serve the People of Israel… In Israel, death has no dominion over them... With gentiles, it will be like any person – they need to die, but [God] will give them longevity. Why? Imagine that one’s donkey would die, they’d lose their money. This is his servant... That’s why he gets a long life, to work well for this Jew. Why are gentiles needed? They will work, they will plow, they will reap. We will sit like an effendi and eat. That is why gentiles were created.”

For practicing Catholics what matters is what God says of their world view.
In Deuteronomy 28 http://www.drbo.org/chapter/05028.htm and Leviticus 26 http://www.drbo.org/chapter/03026.htm God specified the contract of the Mosaic Covenant. He specified the duties of the Israelites to obey Him, the rewards if they obeyed Him, and the penalties if they disobeyed Him. See also: Leviticus 18:28; Numbers 14:23; Deuteronomy 4:26-27; 6:18; 7:12; Deuteronomy 30; Ezekiel 13:9; Jeremias 7:15; 29:13-14.
God did not promise to reward disobedience with power, admiration, or a real estate deal in the Middle East; He promised dispersal and misery, even to vomit them out.
Keep ye my ordinances and my judgments, and do not any of these abominations: neither any of your own nation, nor any stranger that sojourneth among you. For all these detestable things the inhabitants of the land have done, that; were before you, and have defiled it. Beware then, lest in like manner, it vomit you also out, if you do the like things, as it vomited out the nation that was before you. Every soul that shall commit any of these abominations, shall perish from the midst of his people. Keep my commandments. Do not the things which they have done, that have been before you, and be not defiled therein. I am the Lord your God. Leviticus 18:26-30

Diego,
all this is true and what the IDF and ultra orthodox are saying and doing is contrary to God's Law. Yes it is ironic that some Israelis are now learning from the Nazis.
However that is no excuse for anti semitism. The Jews were judged in 70 AD when Jerusalem fell to Titus,and they became wanderers for the next 1900 years,but that was and is no excuse to persecute them and to revile them. Remember Christianity is the completeness of Judaism.
Changed your arrogant tone a bit, haven't you, Mattias??
+ Wolsey
Matthias,
No Catholic here has advocated reviling or persecuting any person.
We must, however, oppose the wicked creed and evil behavior of the synagogue of Satan.
Education is part of that. Prosecuting those guilty of crimes against humanity is also apropos.
Matthias,
Christianity is the fulfillment of the Old Testament prophesies.
Judaism is a post-Christian religion that is the fulfillment of Pharisaism. In no way is authentic Catholicism derivative of Pharisaism/Judaism.
That said, the "great revolt" (2 Thessalonians 2) of the Novus Ordo is arguably derivation of Judaism. Indeed the rabbis are the "Elder Brothers" of the Novus Ordo, but not of Catholicism.
"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." [Rabbi Ben Zion Bokser, Judaism and the Christian Predicament, New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1967, p.59, 159]
"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, and round it are gathered a number of Midrashim, partly legal (Halachic) and partly works of edification (Haggadic). This literature, in its oldest elements, goes back to a time before the beginning of the Common Era, and comes down into the Middle Ages. Through it all run the lines of thought which were first drawn by the Pharisees, and the study of it is essential for any real understanding of Pharisaism." [Universal Jewish Encyclopedia, Vol. 3 pg. 474]
“Pharisaism became Talmudism, Talmudism became Medieval Rabbinism, and Medieval Rabbinism became Modern Rabbinism. But throughout these changes of name, inevitable adaptation of custom, and adjustment of Law, the spirit of the ancient Pharisee survives unaltered.” [Rabbi Dr. Finkelstein, The Pharisees: The Sociological Background of Their Faith, pg. xxi]
Diego you sound a reasonable chap and you are correct:
Evangelisation is the way to go,whilst Wolsey ,like his namesake perhaps wants the Inquisition. Interestingly the karaite jews stick to the Scriptures. My response is aginst Anti semitism per se,and as i have said ,Christianity is the completeness of Judaism. The jewish messiah-jesus Christ- was rejected by them as He still is by both Jew and Gentile.
In years past i told the israeli embassy that Sharon was a war criminal who needed to be brought to justice-his stroke is perhaps God placing sharon on remand,whilst also telling Foxman from the Jewish ADB that his attacks on Gibson's THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST was as mich bigotted as those who attacked and persecuted the Jews.
But as you have so ablely put it- The Jews rejected Jesus,the Cross was no accident. it was not just jews who put Christ on the Cross. It was our sins as Rembrant so well painted in THE RAISING OF THE CROSS where he places himeslf amongst the priests and soldiers
Farwell cantebury
Rangoon 88 is me Matthias.I have had some problems with signing this blog ,and was also looking up family history ,my granny was born in rangoon in the year of Grace 1888 and i was distracted.
Rangoon 88, Yes, "you have said" that "Christianity is the completeness of Judaism," but that is WRONG.
Judaism is in the lineage of the Pharisees. The Pharisees broke with Moses. Judaism persists in the break with Moses.
Jesus said so. The rabbis say so.
Jesus: "Think not that I will accuse you to the Father: There is one that accuseth you, Moses, in whom you trust. For if you did believe in Moses, you would perhaps believe me also; for he wrote of me. But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe my words?" John 5:43-47
Jesus: "This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me. And in vain do they worship me, teaching doctrines and precepts of men. [NOT "precepts of God"] For leaving the commandment of God, you hold the tradition of men, ...And he said to them: Well do you make void the commandment of God, that you may keep your own tradition.
The rabbis: "“... The rabbi constituted the projection of the divine on earth. Honor was due him more than to the scroll of the Torah, for through his learning and logic he might alter the very content of Mosaic revelation. He was Torah, not merely because he lived by it, but because at his best he constituted as compelling an embodiment of the heavenly model as did a Torah scroll itself." [Rabbi Jacob Neusner, "The Phenomenon of the Rabbi in Late Antiquity: II The Ritual of 'Being a Rabbi' in Later Sasanian Babylonia," Numen, Vol.17, Fasc. 1., Feb., 1970, pp.3-4]
Babylonian Talmud Menachot22b finds God placing Moses in the 18th row of Talmud sage Rabbi Akiva’s class, in the “back of the class” for his poor understanding of Torah. Consider how the Talmudic tradition treats God Himself. A renowned 17th century rabbi of Prague, the “Koliner rebbe,” stated, "Our Zaddikim's (famous Orthodox rabbis) words are more important than the Torah of Moses. As our Sages teach: A Zaddik decrees, and God obeys."
"The Bavli [the Babylonian Talmud, NOT the Old Testament] has formed the definitive statement of Judaism from the time of its closure to the present day." Rabbi Jacob Neusner, quoted by Norman F. Cantor, The Sacred Chain: A History of the Jews, page 112)
The occultic portion of the Talmud, the Kabbala, at Tikkunei Zohar 1:27b refers to the Mishnah of the Talmud as "the burial place of Moses." The reference is an apt double entendre because the Talmud at Shabbat 15 teaches that it supersedes and nullifies the Old Testament, so "buries" the Pentateuch of Moses.
Another example of how Moses is derided: Babylonian Talmud Menachot22b finds God placing Moses in the 18th row of Talmud sage Rabbi Akiva’s class, in the “back of the class” for his poor understanding of Torah.
“On the surface, Scripture plays little role in the Mishanaic system, The Mishnah [of the Talmud, also called "Oral Torah," Torah SheBeal Peh] rarely cites a verse of Scripture, refers to Scripture as an entity, links its own ideas to those of Scripture, or lays claim to originate in what Scripture has said, even by indirect or remote allusion to a Scriptural verse of teaching... Formally, redactionally, and linguistically the Mishnah stands in splendid isolation from Scripture....the Mishnah constitutes Torah. It too is a statement of revelation, 'Torah revealed to Moses at Sinai.' But this part of revelation has come down in a form different from the well-known, written part, the Scripture. This tradition truly deserves the name 'tradition,' because for a long time it was handed down orally, not in writing, until given the written formulation now before us in the Mishnah.... Since some of the named authorities in the chain of tradition appear throughout the materials of the Mishnah, the claim is that what these people say comes to them from Sinai through the processes of qabbalah and massoret --handing down 'traditioning.' So the reason... that the Mishnah does not cite Scripture is that it does not have to.” [Rabbi Jacob Neusner, The Mishnah: A New Translation. New Haven CT: Yale University Press, 1988. pp. xxxv-xxxvi].
Note the casual admission that both “qabbalah and massoret [the vaunted, but bowdlerized, ‘Hebrew Bible’]” change Scripture through “process,” “traditioning.” In Judaism, tradition is not fixed or faithful, but is an ever-changing “process” that is described as “traditioning.” This is why “the latest Responsa and homiletical interpretations of the rabbis” are Torah, hence authoritative in Judaism.
Indeed all this oral “traditioning” is precisely what Jesus fingered as “make void the commandments of God for the traditions of men.” [Mark 7:9]. Since the rabbis are free to “alter even the very content of Mosaic revelation” with impunity, we begin to understand why Jesus said, “there is one that accuseth you, Moses” [John 5:45-47].
Very thorough and as you have shown Scripture says it alland The New Testament shows that the Old Covenant has been superseded. In fact my friend my parents could recite all of these and say that when the Jews said "His Blood is upon us and our children",they pointed to the Fall of jerusalem and in their words the 'atrocious persecution by the Catholic church of the Jews". However my point is to ensure that you are not being antisemitic-after all Jesus -and you have ignored this -was a Jew.
So let us agree to disagree ,leave it there ,shake hands and get on with fighting together against those who would seek to destroy the Church,as that is far more important .
Mattias,
If you're against the inquisition, you're ignorant.
Even the secular state has its inquisition - the court system.
Get educated, get some humility, and get some objectivity and maturity.
+ Wolsey
"[You] had no idea [I] had such sentiments."
What sentiments?
"Go easy on our friend Matthias - calling him a "twit" is a bit strong, ol' chap."
I didn't call him, or anyone, a twit.
"[You are] not sure that [my] name sake was quite so anti-Semitic."
Where have I, or anyone else here, written anything anti-Semitic?
"[You] think [I? An Orthodox Jew and I?] will find that [I? An Orthodox Jew and I?] have a lot that [I? An Orthodox Jew and I?] can agree on in the worldview area..."
I doubt that.
(That last comment was to Mr. Schütz.)
Diego,
Thanks for your comments.
Matthias,
I think that Diego summed it up when he wrote that
"No Catholic here has advocated reviling or persecuting any person.
"We must, however, oppose the wicked creed and evil behavior of the synagogue of Satan."
Who could disagree with that?
no Pole I do not disagree with Diego's as his writings portray him as honourable,and he has the Gospel at heart. I have no truck with anti semitism.
However i get annoyed when I see Australian jews become upset at criticism of israel and think THAT is anti semitism. i think the belief that the Rebbe of the Lubavitch jews is the messiah,is totally unscriptural,heretical and apostasy-but so do other Orthodox Jews.
Thanks Pole for then opportunity to blog over here. farewell
It is worse than that. The Lubavitchers ("Chabad") are among the most violent and racist of Judaic cults. Still they like to play victim.
"... the explanation of the matter, [is to be found] in light of what Rabbi Chayim Vital wrote in Shaar HaKedushah (and in Etz Chayim, Portal 5, ch. 2) — that every Jew, whether righteous or wicked, possesses two souls, as it is written, “And neshamot (souls) which I have made. ... The second, uniquely Jewish, soul is truly “a part of G-d above, The souls of the nations of the world (the Gentiles), however, emanate from the other, unclean kelipot which contain no good whatever, as is written in Etz Chayim, Portal 40, ch. 3, that all the good that (Gentiles) do, is done out of selfish motives. So the Gemara comments on the verse, “The kindness of (Gentiles) is sin” — that all the charity and kindness done by (Gentiles) of the world is only for their self-glorification..." (Chapters 1 and 2) The lower category consists of three completely unclean and evil kelipot, containing no good whatever... From them flow and are derived the souls of all the nations of the world (Gentiles), and the sustaining force of their bodies. Also derived from these kelipot are the souls of all living creatures that are unclean and forbidden to be eaten, and the sustaining force of their bodies." Tanya, Chapter 6
http://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/7880/jewish/Chapter-1.htm
"Rabbi Kook the Elder, the revered father of the messianic tendency in Jewish fundamentalism, said, 'The difference between a Jewish soul and the souls of non-Jews—all of them in all different levels—is greater and deeper than the difference between a human soul and the souls of cattle.' Rabbi Kook's entire teaching... is followed devoutly by, among others, those who have led the settler movement in the occupied West Bank... According to the ideologies which underlie Gush Emunum, the militant West Bank settlers group, and Hasidism, non-Jews have 'satanic souls'... Members of Gush Emunum argue that 'what appears to be confiscation of Arab-owned land for subsequent settlement by Jews is in reality not an act of stealing but one of sanctification.' From their perspective the land is redeemed by being transferred from the satanic to the divine sphere... Common to both the Talmud and the Halacha, Orthodox religious law, is a differentiation between Jews and non-Jews. The highly revered Rabbi Menachem Mandel Schneerson, who headed the Chabad movement and wielded great influence in Israel as well [and proclaimed himself messiah], explained that 'The difference between a Jewish and a non-Jewish person stems from the common expression: 'Let us differentiate.' Thus, we do not have a case of profound change in which a person is merely on a superior level. Rather we have a case of 'let us differentiate' between totally different species. This is what needs to be said about the body: the body of a Jewish person is of a totally different quality from the body of all nations of the world.'" Allan C. Brownfield, "It Is Time to Confront the Exclusionary Ethnocentrism," Issues of the American Council for Judaism, Winter 2000, cited in Michael Hoffman, Judaism Discovered, pp.365-366.
Chabad leader Rebbe Schneerson taught that Christianity is a form of mental illness. See his video here:

Matthias, I happened to re-read this: "Remember the warning of scripture 'he who curses you i will curse and he who blesses you I will also bless'"
“I will bless them that bless thee, and curse them that curse thee, and in thee shall all the kindred of the earth be blessed” Genesis 12:3
http://www.drbo.org/chapter/01012.htm
God made this covenant with Abram when he was a Gentile.
Notwithstanding errant exegesis by Protestant dispensationalists and Zionists, God was not speaking to or about Jewish people because there was no Jewish nation—Abram, not yet Abraham, was still a Gentile and God was speaking to Abram alone.
St. Paul affirms in Galatians 3:6-8 that God’s covenant with Abram, later Abraham, was made to him as a Gentile:
“As it is written: Abraham believed God, and it was reputed to him unto justice. Know ye therefore, that they who are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham. And the scripture, foreseeing, that God justifieth the Gentiles by faith, told unto Abraham before: In thee shall all nations be blessed.”
http://www.drbo.org/chapter/55003.htm
St. Paul further elaborates on the justification of and covenant with Abraham before he was a Jew in Romans chapter 4. http://www.drbo.org/chapter/52004.htm
This also caught my eye, Matthias: "However my point is to ensure that you are not being antisemitic..."
As if there is a shortage of kosher thought cops??? [laughing goodnaturedly]
Next time someone puffs himself up to tell you that Judaism is Old Testament religion, tell him to Google "gilgul" and then ask him to explain how reincarnation is Old Testament religion.
Rarely does that Judaic doctrine creep out into the light.
"The sages of the true wisdom teach that every Jewish soul must REINCARNATE many times until it has fulfilled all the 613 mitzvos in action, speech, and thought." Shulchan Aruch HaRav: Hilchos Talmud Torah 1:4
Rabbi Ovadia Yosef on the REINCARNATION of Judaic souls:
http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/middle-east/rabbi-says-holocaust-victims-were-reincarnations-of-sinners-711547.html
"If a Noahite is striving in the learning of Torah... reveals new aspects of Torah, he may be physically restrained and informed that he is liable for capital punishment... If the court that is established in consonance with the Seven Universal Laws gives the death penalty to a Noahite, the execution is an atonement for the person's past transgression... Furthermore, the Noahite must experience REINCARNATION to be able to atone for transgressions he has done." Chaim Clorfene & Yakov Rogalsky, "The Path of the Righteous Gentile: An Introduction to the Seven Laws of the children of Noah," (Feldheim Publishers, 1987) p. 42 (The book bears an official letter of approval of its contents by Rabbi Mendel Feldman, Shearith Israel Congregation.)
There are other horrifying pagan accretions in Judaism, none of it Mosaic, none of it Old Testament (except for the condemnations of it in the Old Testament). There are, of course, the pulsa d'nura death curses and more.
Except for the tiny sect of Karaites (maybe 10,000 worldwide), Jews are not “orthodox” for following Mosaic Law, but orthodox for following the perversion and Master Race and pagan precepts of the Oral Torah for which Jesus unmistakably damned the Pharisees and their followers as “children of Hell” Matthew 23:15.
The Kabbalistic books of the Oral Torah, including the Zohar and Sefer Yetzirah, are in the lineage of Egyptian and Babylonian black magic that spawned idolatry of the Golden Calf, even to the Israelites worshipping, fornicating with, and sacrificing their children to the demon Moloch (Leviticus 20:3-5, 3 Kings 11:5-33, et al.). No less than in the days of the Israelites (1 Kings 8:8; Malachias 2:8-12), contemporary Judaism retains worship of pagan “strange gods”:
Birkat ha-Hammah sun worship http://mauricepinay.blogspot.com/2009/02/more-pagan-judaism-birkat-ha-hammah.html (persists even though Ezechiel 8:16-17 specifically damns it as an abomination in the eyes of God)
moon worship (kiddush levanah http://mauricepinay.blogspot.com/2007/02/blessing-of-moon.html )
polytheism (the worship of the goddess Shekinah http://mauricepinay.blogspot.com/2007/02/vatican-lesson-on-shekinah.html ; see especially Michael Hoffman, Judaism Discovered: A Study of the Anti-Biblical Religion of Racism, Self-Worship, Superstition and Deceit, http://revisionisthistorystore.blogspot.com/2010/03/michael-hoffmans-online-revisionist.html
and, as I mentioned above, reincarnation (gilgul neshamot, gilgul neshamah http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:O1HaB8VL6lAJ:kabbalah-beliefs.suite101.com/article.cfm/gilgul-neshamah-soul-reincarnation-or-transmigration-of-souls+gilgul&cd=10&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us&client=safari )
death curses (pulsa d’nura http://www.koshertorah.com/PDF/pulsa.pdf ), etc.
