Jewish scholars eye New Testament to bridge the "interfaith divide" (or to self-servingly manipulate Christians into embracing Judeo-Christianity?)

More Jewish scholars studying New Testament as history, but not as believers

-- SAN LEANDRO, Calif. (RNS)-- A Jew studying the New Testament?

When he was an undergraduate, Rabbi Harry Manhoff scoffed at the idea. That's when he first read the Christian Scriptures for a religion course. The experience filled him with rage.

"I grew up in a small suburban community in New Jersey, where anti-Semitism was rampant," he said.

But these days, this Reform rabbi and leader of Temple Beth Sholom in San Leandro, Calif., quotes the Gospels with ease. He's apt to describe Jesus as a miracle worker, charismatic leader or sage in a lecture at a synagogue or church. He is completing a doctoral dissertation on the New Testament for the University of California, Santa Barbara.

Make no mistake, however. Manhoff hasn't become a Christian. Neither has he had a mid-life turn toward messianic Judaism, in the manner of Jews for Jesus. Instead, he is among a growing number of Jewish leaders and scholars who are studying the New Testament not as Christian Scripture but as Jewish history.

Along the way, Manhoff and others are discovering new opportunities for interfaith discussion.

"Jews and Christians have so much in common," Manhoff said. "If we could just speak the same language for a little while, there'd be a tremendous amount of possibility."

Jewish New Testament scholarship is breathing new life into the interfaith movement, according to John Pawlikowski, director of the Catholic-Jewish studies program at the Cardinal Joseph Bernardin Center at the Catholic Theological Union in Chicago.

Although Jesus was Jewish, the New Testament isn't read in the mainline Jewish tradition. Because Jews don't consider Jesus the son of God--as Christians do--his teachings aren't considered relevant.

While Christians widely acknowledge that Jesus was born a Jew, many believe he rejected the faith of his time to establish a new religion called Christianity.

Concerns about assimilation within the Jewish community and centuries of anti-Semitic New Testament scholarship add to the interfaith divide...MORE...LINK

U.S. Mideast interventionism: Americans dying to secure a Judeofascist realm

"The idea was that America has a war on terror and that the only actual place for coping with it is in the Middle East and that a fundamental change would come through a change in leadership. We had to start somewhere. The objective was to change the face of the Middle East." -- Israeli Meyrav Wurmser, wife of Dick Cheney's Middle East advisor David Wurmser, on how the neocons sold America's corrupt and gullible leaders on the U.S. invasion and occupation of Iraq.

The Wurmsers, along with other Jewish nationalist Bush administration figures such as Richard Perle and Douglas Feith , wrote a report titled "A Clean Break: A New Strategy for Securing the Realm" for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in 1996. Many of the report's recommendations, including the removal of Saddam Hussein, were later pursued by Bush/Cheney.

In the run-up to the Iraq war, Feith worked with Jewish Zionist Paul Wolfowitz in the Pentagon's Office of Special Plans assembling specious "evidence" against Iraq relating to WMD and ties to 9/11 that turned out to be baseless. Despite Feith and Wolfowitz's checkered pasts of double-dealing for Israel from inside the US government in the 1980's and 90's, they were hand-picked for their Pentagon posts by Dick Cheney.

HEIL ISRAEL! Bruce Ivins' terrorist, Judeo-Christian Zionist stand for Israel

"By blood and faith, Jews are God's chosen, and have no need for 'dialogue' with any Gentile!" -- Bruce Ivins, a Judeo-Christian Zionist dispensationalist, microbiologist, senior biodefense researcher at the United States Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases...and terrorist! The FBI fingered Ivins as one of the biological terrorists whose 2001 false-flag, anthrax-laced letters reading "Death to America... Death to Israel... Allah Great" sent to politicians and media right after the 9/11 attacks killed five people and whipped up pro-war hysteria that laid the groundwork for the "War on Terror." Just like Judas, Ivins committed suicide prior to indictment.

Judeofascists, the core of Zionism

Judeofascists comprise the toxic core of organized Jewry, and oversee the implementation and execution of its misanthropic, Zionist agenda of Jewish supremacism based on millenia-old, vicously genocidal and racist, anti-Gentile, ethno-religious doctrine, dogma and ideology.

With the steady infiltration by oganized Jewry into key institutions of the modern West, Zionism, an international, caste-system ideology that places "chosen" Jewry at the top of the pyramid or 'natural order,' has today been embraced by the most cynical, treasonous and scurrilous Gentiles in the seats of power from left to right.

Unlike the vast majority of Americans, large factions of these corrupted, soul-selling elites have become hell-bent on imposition of Zionism's premise of supreme Judeo moral authority in conjunction with a Globalist agenda. They are using modern statist liberalism to triangulate the Left, and warlike, state capitalist Globalism to triangulate the Right, with both working to serve organized Jewry's Big Government agenda of Zionism and economic totalitarianism.

This cynical, atheism-pushing (except for cohesive, ethno-religous Jewry), hyper-materialistic agenda to economically enslave the human race is what makes Zionist Jewry and its greedy, ambitious, careerist, Gentile cronies, collaborators and partisans, who are busy selling their own descendents into human bondage in exchange for egoistic self-aggrandizement and temporal material luxuries, so dangerous to mankind, and so abhorrent to God and nature.

In order to save America, the West, and even the world from this neo-fascist, Zionist-Globalist, bankster-centered partnership in aggression and greed, with its warmongering, hyper-materialistic agenda of global economic totalitarianism, the traditional Greco-Christian moral order of Western civilization must be restored, and the depraved Zionist elites, one and all, flogged from the temples of Western power forever. -- Chris Moore

Jewish bankers and money-worshiping elites have togther betrayed Western peoples for centuries

A Rothschild family biography mentions a London meeting where an “international banking syndicate” decided to pit the American North against the South as part of a “divide and conquer” strategy. German Chancellor Otto von Bismarck once stated, “The division of the United States into federations of equal force was decided long before the Civil War. These bankers were afraid that the United States…would upset their financial domination over the world. The voice of the Rothschilds prevailed.”

Corrupt Royalists fused with parasitic Jewish bankers, adopted racist "British Zionist" narrative

The Jewish banking families made it a practice to marry their female offspring to spendthrift European aristocrats… The daughter of Jewish banker Ernest Cassel married Lord Louis Montbatten, who was related to Queen Victoria and Prince Philip. If they aren't already Jewish by intermarriage, many European aristocrats consider themselves descendants of Biblical Hebrews. The Hapsburgs are related by marriage to the Merovingians who claim to be descendants of the Tribe of Benjamin. In addition, many aristocrats belong to the "British Israel" Movement that believes the Anglo Saxon races are the lost tribes of Israel…

A founding father of Communism,Zionist Moses Hess sought a war of conquest against “the German race”

Perhaps no one better personifies the axis of leftist thought, Jewish exceptionalism, and a vision of authoritarian imposition of Jewish messianicism than Moses Hess (pictured above), an early Jewish socialist who was a 19th Century precursor to the Jewish Bolsheviks. Hess was a compatriot of, and tremendous influence upon, Karl Marx (pictured below, himself descended from a line of rabbis), and Friedrich Engels.

The ideas of Marx and Engels became the basis of Communism and socialism through The Communist Manifesto and other seminal leftist writings (a basis that remains to this day), making Hess an intellectual pioneer of socialism. Obsessed with “the race struggle” between ethnic nations for predomination, Hess became a Jewish nationalist socialist bent on the eradication of the "German race" and the imposition of Jewish supremacism -- making him a Jewish supremacist intellectual antecedent to Hitler's mirror image, intellectual Aryan supremacism.

The Jewish Role in the Bolshevik Revolution and Russia's Early Soviet Regime

Russian-born Jewish writer Sonya Margolina goes so far as to call the Jewish role in supporting the Bolshevik regime the "historic sin of the Jews."28 She points, for example, to the prominent role of Jews as commandants of Soviet Gulag concentration and labor camps, and the role of Jewish Communists in the systematic destruction of Russian churches. Moreover, she goes on, "The Jews of the entire world supported Soviet power, and remained silent in the face of any criticism from the opposition."

"Racism originated in the Torah," and other Zionist confessions on the Jewish question

...For if Jewry is not a race, but rather one splinter tribe or "ethnicity" within a larger "racial" grouping, then what, exactly, defines this tribe?

I maintain that Jewry is and always was defined first and foremost by its own ideological racism, and that Jewry actually invented the concept of "race" itself long ago as a polarizing means to maintain its tribal/national continuity and exclusivity, and to serve its elitist "minority strategy" economic interests, and the economic interests and power ambitions of its priest class in particular.

This is not a novel assessment. Indeed, Jewish religious authorities recently openly declared the Jewish origins of racism when they proclaimed that "Racism originated in the Torah."

Israeli politician proudly outlines the case that Judaism has always been a racist ideology:

"I’m a proud offshoot of a glorious dynasty of “racists” that started with the “Covenant of the Pieces [that God made with Abraham]"..."Since then, racially pure kibbutzim without a single Arab member and an army that protects a certain racial strain have been established, as have political parties that proudly bear racist names such as “Habayit Hayehudi” — “the Jewish home.” Even our racist national anthem ignores the existence of the Arab minority — in other words, the people Ben-Gurion did not manage to expel in the 1948 war.”

New York Jewish banker Jacob Schiff was one of the principal backers of the Bolshevik revolution

Jacob Schiff was head of the New York investment firm Kuhn, Loeb and Co, one of the most influential investment banks of the 19th and 20th centuries. He was one of the principal backers of the 1917 Bolshevik revolution and personally financed Trotsky's trip from New York to Russia. (Paul Warburg, heir of the Warburg banking family and son-in-law of Kuhn, Loeb co-founder Solomon Loeb, played a major role in the 1913 creation of the Federal Reserve banking cartel that monopolizes money-creation with U.S. government license to this day.)

The first state-organized genocides and death camps were not originated by Nazis, but by Bolsheviks

Financed by Jewish bankers such as the Rothschilds and Jacob Schiff, and perpetrated by Soviet Communists well prior to the Nazi gulag, the Holodomor and other “historically necessary” left-wing exterminations like it that killed tens of millions in the early Soviet sphere and later Gulag were principally designed and implemented by Jewish Bolsheviks such as Leon Trotsky, Lazar Kaganovich and Genrikh Yagoda to crush political opposition to the Jewish-Communist coalition.

"Russia is now asphyxiating the Jews.. slowly but surely grinding out the lives of 6,000,000 Jews."

Jewish Bolshevik mass murder of Christians, opponents and dissidents was fueled by Talmudism

The Bolshevik Jews did appear to sympathize with Talmudism more than with any other religion. Thus in 1905 the Jewish revolutionaries in Kiev boasted that they would turn St. Sophia cathedral into a synagogue. Again, in 1918 they erected a monument to Judas Iscariot in Sviazhsk, and in 1919 - in Tambov! Perhaps the strongest evidence of the continued religiosity of the Bolshevik Jews was the fact that when the Whites re-conquered Perm in 1918 they found many Jewish religious inscriptions in the former Bolshevik headquarters – as well as on the walls of the basement of the Ipatiev House in Yekaterinburg where the Tsar and his family were shot. While officially rejecting the Talmud and all religion in general, the revolutionaries did not reject the unconscious emotional energy of Talmudic Judaism.

THE JEWISH OLIGARCHY: RUNNING AND RUINING AMERICA

While constituting only <1.7% of the American population Jewish Americans dominate and pepper every important American institution thereby ensuring that Israel and Jewish concerns are of paramount concerns in all domestic and foreign policy. From the Executive Branch, to Congress, to Wall Street banking and financial institutions, from Corporate ownership and leadership of American industry to the media and Hollywood, from Academic Institutions to “think tanks” whose only agenda is Israel’s interests, from advertising and public relations firms to Consultants who package politicians and toilet paper, the “Jewish Oligarchy” is dominant.

Through no fault of their own, Western Civilization is the enemy of Jews, argues Jewish scholar

From Ptolemaic Egypt to early Christianity to the Catholic Middle Ages to the Protestant Reformation to the Enlightenment to fascism to the contemporary anti-Zionist movement, the West is out to get the Jews, claims author David Nirenberg. Commonplace to Gentile-phobic Jewish culture and doctrine, this scholar's work is the kind of Talmudic ax-grinding that epitomizes Jewish enmity toward Western peoples and seeds contempt for their nations. Can Western Civilization really afford "tolerance" for a wealthy, racist and powerful tribe that considers itself entitled to overthrow Western nations and peoples by hook or by crook because it is socially, religiously, culturally and nationally indoctrinated to believe it has been eternally victimized by the West, and refuses to see that it's really a "victim" of its own Gentile-phobic racism?
