ISAIAH WARNS AGAINST CHRISTIANITY

ISAIAH WARNS AGAINST CHRISTIANITY
by John Stone

Christian missionaries try to support their theology by supposedly quoting the Hebrew Bible (Tanakh). In this analysis, real quotes from the Tanakh turn the tables and debunk Christianity. Passages from the prophet Isaiah in the Tanakh and associated references from Torah are compared with passages in the so called New Testament (Christian Bible)

Isaiah (Yeshayahu) , in Chapter 24 warns of coming chaos:

24:1 Behold the L-rd empties the land and lays it waste, and He shall turn over its face and scatter its inhabitants. 2. And it shall be, as with the people, so with the priest, as with the slave, so with his master, as with the maidservant, so with her mistress, as with the buyer, so with the seller, as with the lender, so with the borrower, as with the creditor, so with the one who owes him. 3. The land shall be emptied and it shall be pillaged, for the L-rd has spoken this thing. 4. The land has mourned, it has withered, the land has been humbled and withered, the highest of the people of the land have been humbled.

Then he says WHY this will happen:

24:5 And the land has deceived because of its inhabitants, for they transgressed instructions, infracted statutes, broke the everlasting covenant. 6. Therefore, an oath has consumed the land, and the inhabitants thereof were wasted; ...

The so called New Testament advocates all three of these things; that people transgress the laws, change the ordinance and break the everlasting covenants. So, let us now examine these very problems, using the Christian Bible!

Before we proceed, let's take a look at the Christians bible. It is supposedly from their god, inspired by their holy ghost; the authors are unknown and when written no one knows, but to Christianity that does not matter. Why not you ask? Because the only glue that holds the Christian religion (Pauline Christology) together is not facts, not history, not G-d's Torah, but " blind faith." In other words, simply an intoxication with their dead man-god, Jesus.

1. Transgressing the Law:

"Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree" (Galatians 3:13 King James Version)
Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster. (Galatians 3:24-25)

But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter. (Romans 7:6)

But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law. (Galatians 5:18)

For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law. (Hebrews 7:12)

For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith. For if they which are of the law be heirs, faith is made void, and the promise made of none effect: Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is no transgression. Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all, (Romans 4:13 -16)

2. Changing the Ordinances:

Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace; (Ephesians 2:15)

Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, ... (Colossians 2:14)

Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances, (Colossians 2:20)

3. Breaking the Everlasting Covenant, i.e. the Sabbath, the Brit Milah or the everlasting priesthood.

1. Sabbath -- as specified in:

Thus shall the children of Israel observe the Sabbath, to make the Sabbath throughout their generations as an everlasting covenant. Between Me and the children of Israel, it is forever a sign that [in] six days The L-rd created the heaven and the earth, and on the seventh day He ceased and rested." (Exodus (Shemot) 31:16-17)

Each and every Sabbath day, he shall set it up before the L-rd [to be there] continuously, from the children of Israel an eternal covenant. (Leviticus (Vayikra) 24:8)

And He set it up for Jacob as a statute, to Israel as an everlasting covenant. (Chronicles I (Divrei Hayamim I) 16:17)

Christianity repudiates G-d's commandments by establishing a "new" Sabbath on the first day; the so-called "Lord's Day" (see Acts 20:7 and Revelation 1:10). This unmitigated arrogance clearly ignores G-d's command that the Sabbath is for the Jews, the Children of Israel, ONLY. The Sabbath is not for Gentiles!

2. Brit melah -- as specified in:

This is My covenant, which you shall observe between Me and between you and between your seed after you, that every male among you be circumcised. And you shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin, and it shall be as the sign of a covenant between Me and between you. (Genesis 17:10-11)

Those born in the house and those purchased for money shall be circumcised, and My covenant shall be in your flesh as an everlasting covenant. And an uncircumcised male, who will not circumcise the flesh of his foreskin-that soul will be cut off from its people; he has broken My covenant. (Genesis 17:13-14)

Christianity now spits in the face of G-d, speaking against the very people He chose for His special mission1

Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing. (Galatians 5:2)

3. Everlasting priesthood -- as specified in:

It shall be for him and for his descendants after him [as] an eternal covenant of kehunah, because he was zealous for his G-d and atoned for the children of Israel. (Numbers 25:13)

But, as we have seen time and time again, eternity and G-d's word mean absolutely to the unknown Christian writers. They again go against G-d.

For the priesthood being changed, there is made of
necessity a change also of the law. (Hebrews 7:12 )

What this all means, according to Christian theology, is that G-d's words given over 3,316 years ago do not matter. What matters to Christianity is what some unknown people wrote at unknown times, later edited and changed by the early church fathers. Your Creator's eternal promises to the children of Israel are only something to be thrown in the trash -- discarded willy nilly.

What have you now learned? Has not Christianity done precisely what Isaiah warned us about so very long ago?

As I continually remind people, "As G-d created our minds, He expects us to use our reasoning together with our faith. Faith is not a substitute for reason, but a development from it and alongside it." Use your head, think. "Brains to the lazy are like a torch to the blind." (Bechinas Ha'Olam, a Torah commentary).

A final word of wisdom from the real Bible, the Hebrew Bible -- a prophetic warning from Jeremiah:

O L-rd, Who are my power and my strength and my refuge in the day of trouble, to You nations will come from the ends of the earth and say, "Only lies have our fathers handed down to us, emptiness in which there is nothing of any avail! (Jeremiah (Yirmiyahu) 16:19)

We report, you decide!
