Christians that are into Judaism

[Brett1980]

Catholics shouldn’t practice the 613 mitzvot of the jews (Mosaic Law) or adopt Jewish holidays. If they do this they are Judaizers. The church was quite openly opposed to judaizers.

Moreover the rabbi’s don’t want non-jews to practice the Mosaic Law either.

I read and listen to stuff about judaism for two reasons. One I want to know how the old testament is applied. Two I have an interest in jews and a high regard for them.

I get confused when I read in the Didache statements like:

“Do not keep the same fast-days as the hypocrites. Mondays and thursdays, are their days for fasting, so yours should be Wednesdays and Fridays”

Or in the new testament where it can be implied that the Pharisees were all hypocrites and empty tombs.

I believe some of the Pharisees were but using my reason I see all kinds of people with varying degrees of charity and love, many of them non-catholics.

Moreover I have personally witnessed a lot of twisted stuff said in regards to Jews on the internet and heard a lot of twisted stuff.

If you want to know more about judaism I recommend a website called:

I have to say though that alot of twisted things are said in regards Catholics too. Regarding the Jews, one must treat them like how you treat any other person: they shouldn’t demand to be treated better above everyone else because they suffered persecution in the past and neither can they make up lies, especially in regards Pope Pius XII and Pope Pius IX. Judaism was the only other religion legal in the Papal States and they were much better off under His rule than under any Pope. He removed laws which forced Jews to listen to semrons three times a year, he removed laws which didn’t let them get big jobs, etc…

I mean, people who ethnically Jewish are not impeccable. Christians are spat at in Jerusalem, alot of orthodox Jews are racist and hypocrites (a video on you tube which is about the ‘lies’ made on the Talmud which amongst other things [the video] says that it isn’t racist… finish the video, read the uploaders comments and you’ll see some very hateful language. He calls people who oppose him very deregatory names, he calls them sub-human, contradicting the same things which he claimed in the video… in short, this Jewish person isn’t a very good person.

Some Christians who were not into Judaism:

“The Jews are the most worthless of all men. They are lecherous, greedy, rapacious. They are perfidious murderers of Christ . . .The Jews are the odious assassins of Christ and for killing God there is no expiation possible, no indulgence or pardon. Christian may never cease vengeance, and the Jews must live in servitude forever. God always hated the Jews. It is incumbent upon all Christians to hate the Jews”. – St. John Chrysotom

“The true image of the Hebrew is Judas Iscariot, who sells the Lord for silver. The Jew can never understand the Scriptures and forever will bear the guilt for the death of Jesus.”
– St. Augustine,

“The Jews’ guilt of the crucifixion of Jesus consigned them to perpetual servitude, and like Cain, they are to be wanderers and fugitives . . . the Jews will not dare to raise their necks, bowed under the yoke of perpetual slavery, against the reverence of the Christian faith”.-Pope Innocent III

“Know Christians that next to the devil thou hast no enemy more cruel, more venomous and violent than a true Jew”- Martin Luther

"For it is unbecoming beyond measure that on this holiest of festivals we should follow the customs of the Jews. Henceforth let us have nothing in common with this odious people…

“We ought not, therefore, to have anything in common with the Jews…our worship follows a …more convenient course… we desire, dearest brethren to separate ourselves from the detestable company of the Jews… How, then, could we follow these Jews, who are almost certainly blinded.” - Council of Nicea

"“It is not lawful [for Christians] to receive unleavened bread from the Jews, nor to be partakers of their impiety.” - The Laodicean Synod approved Cannon XXXVIII

“If you call it a brothel, a den of vice, the devil’s refuge, Satan’s fortress, a place to deprave the soul, an abyss of every conceivable disaster or whatever you will, you are saying less than it deserves.” St. Jerome (on the synagogue)

“Let no one in the priestly order nor and layman eat the unleavened bread of the Jews, nor have and familiar intercourse with them, nor summon them in illness, nor receive medicine from them, nor bathe with them; but if anyone shall take in hand to do so, if he is a cleric, let him be deposed, but if a layman, let him be cut off.” - Canon II of the Quinisext Council
