1st-Century JudaismThe Ruakh ha-Qodesh(Where Qodesh — 'Holiness' — is Defined by Tan"kh) |
Torah commands (wa-Yiqra 10:10) — lә-Havdil — between Qodesh and khol. To suggest that a Spirit of Holiness could dwell in a willfully unholy physical body, much less be the Motivator causing one to wilfully choose an unholy physical body, not only contradicts Torah and invalidates the antinomian J*e*s*u*s (exposing antinomian J*e*s*u*s, being anti-Torah, as a servant of Satan), but misattributes unholy works — which are works of Satan — to the Holy Spirit; described by Ribi Yehoshua as blasphemy of the Holy Spirit (NHM 12.22-32)!
Many ask "How can so many people be wrong?" Yet, the teaching of Ribi Yehoshua is (NHM 7.13-14): "Come in through Sha·ar ha-Tzar ("Difficult Gate") because Sha·ar ha-Avadon ("Destruction Gate") is wide, its way is spacious and many are going through it. How tzar (difficult) is the sha·ar (gate), and kaveid (heavy) is the Way, that leads straight to life. Few find it." More apt questions would be "Why don't Christians follow the Sha·ar ha-Tzar of the original teachings of Ribi Yehoshua instead of a Hellenized pagan counterfeit?" And "How can millions of Jews — which included Ribi Yehoshua — who know Torah intimately — be wrong?" And "How can gentiles who know nothing about Torah, can't read the first word of it, and changed everything according to the prophecy in Danieil 7.25, be right?"
The True Ruakh ha-Qodesh, as a Spirit of Holiness (not profaning), leads people toward, not away from, holiness as defined in Torah — i.e., keeping the Torah — so declares Dәvarim 13:5! In a word: Judaism!!!
Any spirit that leads astray from Torah is defined by Torah — upon which Christianity's claims supposedly rest — as unholy, i.e., demonic.
Dead Sea Scroll 4Q MMT (cf. Elisha Qimron, Oxford Press) demonstrates that Judaism is what Ribi Yehoshua and the original Netzarim practiced — and again practice today. If you aren't, then you're not following the authentic Ribi Yehoshua, and need to renounce the antinomian (i.e., misojudaic) counterfeit of Displacement Theology — J*e*s*u*s & Christianity.
Only in this Way of historical Ribi Yehoshua can you become like historical Ribi Yehoshua, like his original Netzarim followers! Become a recognized Netzarim, learning how to pray in a legitimate synagogue, like pre-135 CE Ribi Yehoshua and his Netzarim did, and interface in the legitimate Jewish community, like pre-NT Ribi Yehoshua and his Netzarim did.
