Judge to parents: "You can’t name baby Messiah". Has Christianity misunderstood what a messiah is?

Judge changing baby's name Messiah draws reaction

"Christianity has misunderstood what a messiah is. Christianity is not based on principles found in the Torah or the books of Moses. God himself told us not to listen to anyone that would bring us a way to have a relationship with him that disagrees with what Moses taught us. The problem with Christianity is that it's belief system starts with Jesus and it tries to work backwards to justify itself instead of starting with Moses and going forward in truth." 

Everyone knows that Christians believe that Jesus is the Messiah. Is it possible that they have misunderstood the entire concept of the Messiah and his function in God's spiritual economy? [1]

"I never intended on that — naming my son Messiah because it means God," she said. "And I didn't think a judge could make me change my baby's name because of her religious beliefs."

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — A Tennessee judge's decision to change a baby's first name from Messiah to Martin is drawing strong reactions from people who believe the judge overstepped her powers and those who think parents' creativity should have some limits.

Thousands of people have commented online about the judge's order since WBIR-TV published its story over the weekend. Many of them said Child Support Magistrate Lu Ann Ballew went too far, but not all.

"I agree 100 percent that we only have one messiah and that's Jesus Christ," said Edith Wood, a resident of Cocke County in eastern Tennessee, where the boy lives. The mostly rural county is located in the Appalachian foothills and encompasses part of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

Wood said a cousin called from Atlanta and asked her to find the judge and take her out to dinner. Telephone calls to Ballew from The Associated Press rang unanswered Monday, and her voicemail was full.

The hubbub started when the boy's mother sought an order to establish paternity. It included a request for the judge to determine the child's last name.

When Ballew heard Messiah's first name, she decided it should be changed, too, saying the child could face problems with the name Messiah.

The name on his birth certificate was Messiah DeShawn Martin. The judge changed it to Martin DeShawn McCullough, giving the boy his father's last name while replacing Messiah with his mother's surname.

"The word messiah is a title, and it's a title has only been earned by one person, and that one person is Jesus Christ," she told WBIR-TV in an interview from her office, which had a ceramic figurine of Joseph and Mary with baby Jesus on her desk. A copy of the Ten Commandments hung on the wall.

While Messiah may not be a traditional English name, it is becoming more popular. Messiah was No. 4 among the fastest-rising baby names in 2012, just ahead of King but behind Major at No. 1, according to the Social Security Administration's annual list of popular baby names.

And other religious names are very common, such as Mohammed in Islamic culture and Jesus (pronounced Heh-SOOS') in Hispanic culture.

Asked about the name Jesus, Ballew said it was not relevant to the current case.

A number of countries have rules about what are acceptable baby names. In Iceland earlier this year, a girl won a court battle to legally use the name given to her by her mother. Blaer means "light breeze" in Icelandic, but it was deemed to be not a proper feminine name by authorities, who referred to her in government documents as "Girl."

Hedy Weinberg, director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Tennessee, said the U.S. is different because of the First Amendment.

"Parents, not the government, have the right to name a child," she said. "The judge cannot impose her faith on those who come into her courtroom."

The ACLU has offered to help the parents fight the decision.

Laura Wattenberg, the founder of babynamewizard.com, said she has been using the name Messiah as an example of changing baby names.

"The percentage of kids getting names we think of as normal is shrinking," Wattenberg said. "Today, Paisley is more common than Mary."

Messiah Ramkissoon, a spoken word poet based in New York City, said people sometimes assume his name is a stage name. But he said the name simply represents a messenger and doesn't refer exclusively to Jesus. He added that many people are named Emanuel, which means "God is with us" and is another term used for Jesus in the Bible.

The baby's mother, Jaleesa Martin, told WBIR-TV she chose the name Messiah because she likes the way it sounds and thinks it goes well with the names of her other two sons, Micah and Mason. She said she's appealing the decision and in the meantime will still call her son Messiah.

"I never intended on that — naming my son Messiah because it means God," she said. "And I didn't think a judge could make me change my baby's name because of her religious beliefs."

What is Moshiach? (Messiah?)

Think Judaism is about tradition? It's not.

Because the tradition itself is about something much bigger. About Abraham smashing the idols in his father's house. Moses liberating a people from slavery. Isaiah lecturing a war-hungry civilization on world peace. It's about changing the world and making it the way it's supposed to be.

Every book of Torah is filled with that idea. Every mitzvah we do is part of creating that world. Every moment of our history, that hope beats in our hearts.

Today we discover that humanity has bought into our dream. That the pieces are neatly falling in place. That rays of a new dawn have already begun to shine.

Moshiach: An Introduction

Two of the most fundamental tenets of the Jewish faith – as listed by Maimonides among the Thirteen Principles of the Jewish Faith – are the belief in the ultimate redemption, an awaited era of world peace, prosperity and wisdom, and the belief that the dead will be resurrected at that time.

The Messianic Era will be ushered in by a Jewish leader generally referred to as the Moshiach (messiah: Hebrew for "the anointed one"), a righteous scion of King David. He will rebuild the Holy Temple in Jerusalem and gather the Jewish people from all corners of the earth and return them to the Promised Land.

So it's going to happen—that's what we believe. But why is this important today? Why is the coming of Moshiach so central to the Jewish belief system?At that time, "delicacies will be commonplace like dirt." All the nations will "beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation shall not lift a sword against nation, neither shall they learn war anymore" (Micah 4:3). Humankind will be preoccupied with only one pursuit: the study of G‑dly wisdom. "The earth shall be filled with knowledge of G‑d as water covers the seabed" (Isaiah 11:9).

Okay, so it's going to happen—that's what we believe. But why is this important today? Why is the coming of Moshiach so central to the Jewish belief system?

Because the Torah teaches us that there is purpose to our world. And the Messianic Era is the actualization of that idea.

There are those who maintain that this crass physical world is merely a strategic challenge; one that the soul must battle and transcend en route to a heavenly paradise. According to this line of thinking, the physical and mundane has no intrinsic worth, it retains no value whatsoever once its function has been fully served—it is a means to a spiritual end.

While Jewish belief also speaks of the soul's reward in the hereafter, earned through its toil in the course of life's journey, it sees the refinement of the physical and the infusion of holiness and purpose into the mundane as the paramount objective. It is the sanctification of the human body and the world at large that constitutes the very purpose of its creation.

From the dawn of time, G‑d envisioned for Himself a "dwelling place" right here on Planet Earth. And He put us here to fashion this home. To transform darkness into light.

The curtain will be ripped aside, and all flesh will perceive G‑dAnd soon the day will come when G‑d's glory will be revealed in this nether-realm, and we will enjoy the fruits of our millennia-long work, the end-product of our labor of love.

The curtain will be ripped aside, and all flesh will perceive G‑d. It will be the culmination of the master plan.

The belief in Moshiach has sustained our nation throughout a 2,000 year exile fraught with pogroms, expulsions and persecution—our ancestors' firm belief in a better time to come, and their trust that they would be resurrected to witness that day. And today, finally, we stand at the threshold of redemption. One more good deed by one more person may be all that's needed to seal the deal.

Jono & Jason – Searching for Messiah
BY JONO VANDOR – AUGUST 9, 2013

Truth2U.org

A comment from a listener: “My curiosity is why are you going through so much work to prove what Messiah means and not focusing on the most important issue, that being, Is Jesus the Savior or not? It seems as if you are going in an around about way to prove that Jesus is not Christ and is not the Savior. Can you please answer this simple question do you believe that Jesus is Christ the Savior, yes or no?
My response: “Thank you for your comment. If I understand you correctly, you seem to be suggesting that the study of the word “mashiach” in the Tanakh challenges Jesus’ mashiach status. It doesn’t matter what I believe, or anybody else for that matter, it only matters what the text says. If you have a problem with the text you cannot solve the problem by qualifying whether or not I believe the same as you. It does not change the words on the page. Now that you have been exposed to information you alone are responsible to deal with it and own your conclusions. Nevertheless, it is a good idea, I think Mr. Spiritualbabies and I should do a Tanakh study on the word “savior”. Here’s the first verse that comes to mind: “I, even I, am Yehovah, and besides Me there is no savior” – Isaiah 43:11
Does this video really challenge Jesus' mashiach status?

MISTRANSLATED, MISQUOTED AND MANUFACTURED PROPHECIES ABOUT JESUS

A TRUTHFUL ANALYSIS OF MESSIANIC PROPHECIES IN THE JUDEO-CHRISTIAN BIBLE? 

DID JESUS FULFILL THEM OR DOES IT JUST APPEAR HE DID SINCE THEY END UP PURPOSEFULLY MISTRANSLATED, MISQUOTED, LIFTED OUT OF THEIR ORIGINAL CONTEXTS, AND EVEN INVENTED OUT OF THIN AIR IN THE CHRISTIAN'S BIBLE?

"Christianity's Messiah and Judaism's Messiah have nothing in common, nothing at all!" That is because they are not the same Messiah…one is a counterfeit! Which one is it?

Well that is quite a statement which the vast majority of Christians in the world today fail to understand or grasp with their limited knowledge of the origins of their own Christian faith let alone the corruption of the Hebrew Scriptures when they were mistranslated into Greek and subsequently changed down through history when recopied by Roman monks and scribes. This unknown truth escapes almost all Christians; yet the fact is that these forged, altered, and corrupted Greek translations became the very foundation for all later corrupt Latin and English versions of Christian Old Testaments and their subsequent quotations in their New Testaments. In other words, the Bible Christians and followers of Jesus carry are corrupt and forged versions of the Hebrew Scriptures in "key places" and more than likely at this time in your life you are not aware of this tragic corruption of the Christian Scriptures before you received them. It is these same forged passages that we find repeated in the New Testament as attributed to Jesus in one way or the other; the result of which is a false religious belief system concerning not only the Jesus Christ in the New Testament, but the characterization of Jesus as the presumed Jewish Messiah. A person will never know the depth of such deception until he or she begins to study the differences between these Hebrew Messianic passages in the Hebrew Scriptures and their corrupt counterparts in our Greek, Latin, and English translations of them that end up in our Christian Bibles!

These falsified passages found in different versions of Christian Bibles are not only inaccurate in depicting Jesus as the fulfillment of the Jewish Messiah, they can be shown upon examination and comparison with the Hebrew texts to be little more than corrupted verses taken from the Hebrew Scriptures which have been purposefully manipulated, purposefully misquoted, and mistranslated. Many of these Hebrew Messianic Scriptures ended up ripped from their original Hebrew contexts by overzealous anti-Judaic and anti-Semitic Gentile Christians who were not above inventing many more out of thin air many centuries ago. Such Scriptural forgery occurred in order to make the Christ of the Ancient Wisdom traditions fit traditional Jewish Messianic parameters. Correspondingly, the ancient Christ in the Ancient Wisdom was, at the hands of Church Fathers and their scribes, made to conform to the traditional Jewish Messianic parameters. Today we recognize this literary synthesis as the supposed "Jewish" Christ by then name of Jesus.
I have just made an amazing claim that staggers the imagination of most Christian readers. The question you have to ask yourself is this: "Can this be proven beyond all doubt today?" It surely can, or else as an ex-ordained Pastor I would not be devoting my life and the considerable time it takes to research this information and make it available to the Christian community in hopes of restoring Biblical truths long lost to Christians due to the Scriptural tampering by the Orthodox Roman Church. Few Christians are aware concerning the truth that lay behind their "Jesus Story" and the true Words of God than lay in shambles in the Bibles that we inherited by the Orthodox Roman Church as it was corrupted and debased by the early anti-Semitic Gentile Church of Rome during the early centuries of its evolution. Sadly, we find these same corruptions in our Christian versions today and they go unnoticed by almost all except those who have taken the time to investigate this amazing deception. This, among other reasons, is why I could no longer continue my successful pastorate once learning of this tragic fact concerning the documents and my Christian Bible which I was taught to use for my faith and practice in the Christian faith. Seminary did not teach me this, however, it provided the Biblical skills and tools to do such studies and research, which when done by me, uncovered these sad events in the history of my faith. These studies were undertaken during the early years of my pastorate as I was studying and looking for the Jewish Jesus in an attempt to recover the Hebrew Roots of my "then" Christian Faith. What I discovered not only broke my heart but also shamed me before God that I could have fallen into such a trap of religious deception. Armed with this knowledge I devoted my life to teach this truth to my brothers and sisters in my birth faith. I heavy-heartedly would find that that no matter how hard I tried to change Christianity for the better by restoring long-lost Scriptural truths it was almost hopeless and resignation from my pastorate was my only recourse. The question that you and I face is if we want to be a man-pleaser or a God-pleaser. I have answered that question myself and the information on this and other websites will help you in finding your personal answer to that same question as well. When finished, having proved to yourself that the New Testament Jesus is not the Jewish Messiah, and then what or whom is he? What does the "Jesus Story" stand for? What was it originally to mean to our Souls? If not literal or historical, as evident from seeing these mounds of textual forgery, the intent of which is to present to the unsuspecting a presumed literal and historical figure that finds its expression through the Roman Church, what is the "Jesus Story" supposed to mean to me and my Soul?

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT TO LEARN FROM THIS WEBSITE

This website will reveal to its readers multiple comparisons of Scriptural passages taken from both the Hebrew Bible, called the Tanakh, and various Christian Bible translations in both Greek and English.
Answer for yourself: And why will we do this? Only in so doing can the reader see for himself how "messianic prophecy" from the Hebrew Scriptures and the earlier Hebrew Bibles have been purposefully altered and changed and how these adulterated passages were later made to apply to a new Testament Jesus when the original Hebrew passages were never intended to refer to him in the slightest sense! These anti-Judaic early Church Fathers and scribes manipulated and altered the Words of God in the early centuries of the emerging Orthodox Roman Church in order to force Messianic "fulfillments" in the presumed life of Jesus. In so doing, they show little if any fear or reverence for God since they with abandon consistently "added to" and "took away" from the Words of God in order to force false fulfillments of Messianic prophecies that they made apply to Jesus. The evidence for this Scriptural forgery will speak for itself as you see example after example of Christian forgery of the Hebrew Scriptures and their later Greek translations, and it is these forged Greek translations that end up on the pages of our English Old and New Testaments today!
There is much difficult material ahead for the Christian to see and ponder. Understand from the get go that this website is an affirmation of the truth of Judaism and the faith and religion of the Jewish people and is not intended to prove Christianity wrong, but rather the religion of the Jewish people and Judaism right. It is not my intention to hurt anyone or to destroy anyone's faith with unveiling the deception to which we as Christians have unknowing fallen in our forged Bibles. Yet, it is my intention to reveal to seekers of truth what has happened to the Hebrew Scriptures and the depictions that exist in the anti-Semitic Gentile New Testament where so many religious doctrines that accompany and are applied to this Jesus render the reader and believer in such "dogmas" an idolater and blasphemer before God. It is my prayer that a truthful presentation of such materials collected in over almost thirty years of in-depth Biblical scholarship will break up the fallow ground and hearts of the readers in hope of repentance when you see such errors taught as supposed truths by an anti-Judaic and anti-Semitic orthodox Gentile Christianity.

CHRISTIANITY AND THE HEBREW BIBLE: WHAT YOU WERE NEVER TOLD BY YOUR CHURCH AND YOUR PASTOR

Christianity has based itself on the Hebrew Scriptures. Rome has too. If it had not, then Christianity would be a completely detached religion, which could not validate itself on the claimed fulfillment of biblical Judaism's Scriptures. Christianity established itself upon Judaism's foundation and, therefore, remains vulnerable to Judaism's interpretation of its own Holy Book. Let us not forget that Christianity is supposed to the "fulfillment" of Biblical Judaism; it either is or is not based upon the fulfillment of the Hebrew Scriptures. The problem we encounter is if we have in our Christian Bibles faithful and accurate representations of these Hebrew Scriptures both in our Old Testaments and in the quotes from them in our New Testaments.
Answer for yourself: How many scholarly books on this "one" book of Christianity [the New Testament] have you ever read?
Answer for yourself: Have you ever taken the time to look at and compare the quotes of the Hebrew Bible as found in your New Testament that are passed off as "fulfillments of Messianic prophecy" with the corresponding parent texts in a Hebrew-English Bible? Well I and many other "truth-seekers" have and what we have seen and learned is not only alarming but also life changing!
The question we now ask is this: Does the Jesus of the New Testament fulfill the Hebrew Scriptures or is he made to seem to be the fulfillment of them though clever manipulation of the Hebrew Scriptures though the purposeful mistranslation, misquotation, misapplication of them and even the taking of them out of context for Gentile theological purposes and agendas?

JEWS KNOW THEIR HEBREW BIBLE BETTER THAN GENTILE CHRISTIANS KNOW THIERS...NEVER FORGET THAT!

Judaism is a faith built on solid Hebrew Biblical knowledge. Most Jewish people have always lived, and live today, attached to every word, every sentence, and every nuance in their Hebrew Scriptures. Study of God's word has been a holy activity for devout Jews throughout the ages, even to the detriment of earning a living. This is common knowledge concerning the Jewish people's dedication to God made available to anyone who would inquire. Said of old is that no people know the holy revelation in God's Words better than those to whom God addressed it, namely the Jewish people. To think that Rome and the later Gentile Church is a better interpreter of the Hebrew Scriptures than the Jews and their scholars is ludicrous and stretches the believability of our very own minds.

PROOF-TEXTS OF CHRISTIANITY: ARE THESE SCRIPTURES FAITHFUL TRANSLATIONS OF THE HEBREW SCRIPTURES?

What the vast majority of Christians fail to realize is that the Hebrew Bible has nothing to say about Jesus, not one thing. Notice carefully I said the "Hebrew Bible" and not the Greek mistranslation of it with its hundreds of alterations and purposeful misquotations and mistranslations of the Hebrew Scriptures, the intent of which was to introduce foreign Gentile religious concepts concerning a son of God and Sun gods to the Jewish concept of the Messiah in the Hebrew Scriptures. It is these added religious concepts which were first added into the Hebrew Scriptures and later Greek translations of them by the apostate Essenes of Alexandria, Egypt, in 200 B.C.E., which will in a little over 200 years from their forgery be applied by the Qumran Essenes to their slain Teacher of Righteousness in 70 B.C.E. Within a hundred years, these same dogmas end up applied to the coming Avatar of the soon dawning age of Pisces. We know this celestial avatar today by the name of Jesus and before long, this "Jesus Story" was adopted and propagated by the emerging Gentile "believers" toward the end of the first century of the Common Era. The later Church Fathers call these Essenes the first "Christians" and we see this early reference of them noted in Acts 6: Acts 6:7 7 And the word of God increased; and the number of the disciples multiplied in Jerusalem greatly; and a great company of the priests were obedient to the faith. (KJV)

The Essenes had long ago departed from normative Judaism since as Zadok priests, the Hasmonean dynasty ere refused to allow the Essenes to assume their rightful place in the temple as the official priesthood of Israel. Their rejection from their rightful priesthood only fueled their later separation and total rejection in their eyes of an apostate Judaism of their day. This would only cause their further spiritual evolution away from the current expression of Judaism but further provide the impetus for their progressive radical reinterpretation of the typical Jewish Messiah. We find their legacy adopted and later elaborated upon by Rome since both the Essenes possessed at the very heart of their religious expressions, a great dependency, and influence upon the Sun and Sun worship.

Christianity's use of the Hebrew Bible is both their strength and their flaw. It is their strength because the Hebrew Bible is the word of God. It is their flaw because Gentile Christianity misinterprets and misappropriates the Hebrew Scriptures to support their claims. It is ironic, but when Christianity claims fulfillment of, and yet obliterates, the Hebrew Bible's message and prophecies, then all truth seekers have a right, even a duty, to demonstrate this terrible error which is passed off to the unsuspecting Gentile world as the "infallible, inerrant, and inspired" Word of God. Such a Christian's Bible with such falsehoods and Scriptural adulterations is anything but the Word of God. Secondarily, the Jesus depicted within such a document is anything but the "real;" in fact we accept uncritically the New Testament's depiction of the Jewish Jesus along with all the forged and falsified texts that surround him and are never aware of the need to investigate or question this "counterfeit" Jesus. Not being versed in Biblical Judaism before reading the New Testament then it is impossible to spot the forgery from the truth when reading the pages of the New Testament; we accept without question that all contained within the New Testament must be true because we have been told it is. We are set up to be deceived when but a little study into these matters will reveal the truth about the New Testament in this regard. The result is a belief in a Jesus as "the Christ" that never existed as depicted in the New Testament, and often such beliefs render the believer as stated above an idolater and blasphemer before God! Sadly, Christians never know they are wrong in their religious beliefs since they are not aware their Scriptures are less than accurate then translated from the Hebrew. Since unknowingly believing purposefully altered texts and Scriptures, as Christians, we are not aware of our true spiritual condition before God because. When taught to believe in the Bible's Scriptures, we were at the same time taught never to doubt the New Testament or ask questions about its reliability and integrity. Our pastors and priests failed to teach us at the same time, however, that these Scriptures in our Bibles, before they reached us, underwent tamperings and corruptions thousands of times. Scriptural and textual corruptions and interpolations (additions) of the Bible's Scriptures, in order to create a "Replacement Religion" in the New Testament, are prevalent from beginning to end of the Bible is a person submits himself or herself to serious Bible study. As Christians, we never knew we could be wrong yet the Jews have told our Scriptures in our Bibles are not accurate to the Hebrew going on now for 2000 years. The Jewish people and their Rabbis have consistently maintaining in the jaws of death inflicted upon them by the Christian Church that the Christian Jesus and Christian Messiah is not "the" Jewish Messiah. Christians seldom hear these warnings, or take heed of them because we grow up conditioned in our Churches reading corrupted and falsified texts over and over again, never knowing what happened to the Hebrew Bible at the hands of the Roman Church!

FAITH MUST BE BASED ON BIBLICAL REASON...WE MUST USE OUR MINDS TO ACQUIRE THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD

When a person undertakes such a study of the forgery of religious texts within Gentile Christianity and their Bibles then he quickly sees that Christianity's faith cannot be accepted by anyone who is even slightly knowledgeable of the Hebrew Scriptures and who uses his reasoning ability. As God 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. God never gave us a lie or told us to believe a lie and when your study reveals to you the corruption of the Hebrew Scriptures and their twisting into false Messianic fulfillments concerning Jesus in the New Testament, then understand God never gave you these purposefully misquoted and mistranslated Hebrew Scriptures. Not did God the many Scriptures in the New Testament that derive from Hebrew verses taken out of context that you find your Christian Bibles. Anti-Semitic Gentiles are the culprit here; the same ones that gave you not only the Roman New Testament but the worked-over Old Testament as well. It is to these anti-Judaic Roman Christian Church Fathers and their scribes we must look for the origin of verses in the Hebrew Scriptures and Jewish Bibles that ended up purposefully mistranslated and misquoted in our Bibles. It is to these "textual forgers" we must look for the origin of the many words and phrases invented in our Christian Scriptures, as well as the many tenses of Hebrew verbs that were altered from the "present tense" to the "future tense" in our Christian Bibles. The purposeful alteration and corruption of present tense verbs in the Hebrew Scriptures to future tense verbs allow for the transformation of Scriptures out of their original contexts. Hence, what originally applied to historical Old Testament personages, are through textual forgery, made to apply falsely to the New Testament Jesus, thus deceiving millions, if not billions of people, down through the Christian centuries. It is time to learn the truth concerning these matters before we die and meet the Creator with idolatry as the cornerstone of our inherited forged Scriptures of the Christian faith.
JESUS' GOD IS JUDAISM'S GOD In no place in the New Testament did Jesus claim to be God, or God incarnate, or part of a Trinity, or in any way a special substance of God. This idea of Christianity has no basis in Jesus' pronouncements and finds its beginning in the forgery of the Hebrew Scriptures into Greek and later all English versions of the Old Testament with its resultant quotes in the New Testament. Religious concepts having more in common with "literalized" Sun worship and "literalized" astral worship became included into later Greek and later English versions of the Hebrew Scriptures and all quotes taken from them that we find in the New Testament. These, of course, send up applied to this Jesus. In so doing a human messiah and anointed one of God becomes a "literal" Sun-godman and even God himself. Idolatry and blasphemy are the fruit of such forgery and seldom does the New Testament Christian know of this because it never dawns upon him to investigate the integrity of his Christian Bible and its faithfulness in translation from the Hebrew Bible that Jesus used. The Jewish Messiah was never to be God incarnated!
In the passages that follow for your examination, you will see beyond any doubt that Jesus' God is the God of the Jewish people, as they know Him, no other. As startling as this may be to Jews and Christians, when searched with an open mind, the New Testament of Christianity shows that the Jesus of the New Testament lived and died a Jew who believed in Judaism, the God of Judaism, and the everlasting nature of Judaism. Jesus of the New Testament was not a Christian and never advocated the establishment of any new religion. Unknown again to most Gentile Christians is the fact that the non-Jew has his place within Biblical Judaism as he adheres to the Covenant and Laws of Noah that Judaism has taught for over three thousand years. Instead of this Divine legacy Christians adopt a New Covenant of man's making and literally stand without a Covenant before God; again, most Christians live totally unaware of this because they accept everything in their Bibles uncritically and without question. Few Christians ever learn the truth concerning this matter, for example, that the word "new" spoken by Jeremiah the prophet, means in the Hebrew "renewed" not "replaced" as later misquoted in the Book of Hebrews! This is just part of the deception.

CHRISTIANITY IS CHRISTOLOGICAL IN PROMOTING JESUS AND NOT THE RELIGION OF JESUS

Although the New Testament depicts Jesus observing the Jewish religion, it is obvious that Christianity is not the Jewish religion and has little in common with it. Christianity is not the religion observed by the Jesus in the New Testament, nor is it undergirded by the Torah as well as the commandments of God. Christianity, as it developed, distanced itself from its Jewish roots, and becomes is a religion "about Jesus," forsaking in the process, the "religion of Jesus." Lost in all of this is the accurate understanding of a "Jewish Jesus," as well as the Jewish religion practiced and observed by him in the New Testament. The Jewish faith and religion, properly understood, is the example for the spiritual evolution of the Souls indwelling all of humankind. Both the religion modeled by Jesus, along with the Gospel of St. Paul regarding the "mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints…which is Christ in you," teaches the human Soul can refine itself and make it holy and acceptable with God. This occurs by a combination of holy behavior and obedience to the Words of God in His commandments for us in the Torah. The Torah prescribes throughout our lives that special rituals and prayers accompany special times and occasions throughout the year, thus helping us to accomplish the spiritual goal desired for our Souls in the Torah as well as in the New Testament. In the New Testament, this goal is termed "the fullness and stature of Christ." The word "Torah" is a Hebrew word that means "instruction" [for our Soul], and it, when instructing the reader's Soul concerning the commandments of God, is one of the best ways to connect with God in our lives and at these special times during our lives.
In truth, as we progress in our studies, the reader will come to see that the Messianic Scriptures in New Testament derive from the events that transpire in the mythological lives of the personified Sun gods from the Ancient Wisdom and Mystery Religions. These astronomical allegories and myths from the Ancient Wisdom and their personified Sun gods end up later portrayed through the Jewish religion and the Jewish culture in the make-believe lives of numerous supposed personages that were never literal or historical persons. Not possessing the knowledge of this Ancient Wisdom going all the way back to Ancient Egypt and even beyond, we mistake when readings these allegories, myths, and metaphors, as if the characters in these narrative are literal people due to our prior indoctrination in the Western hemisphere. In America today, we grow up a literalists. The writers of these ancient Scriptures never intended their writings read all the way through literally and historically, and we never knew this. In other words, the New Testament, when read literally and historically, cannot but fail to portray its spiritual message of the Soul's evolution on Earth properly. This is seen with no greater example in the reading of what we suppose to be fulfilled Messianic Scriptures.
The New Testament does a much better job portraying the Christ of the Ancient Wisdom than the Jewish Messiah, but only if we read these texts allegorically, metaphorically, mystically, and metaphysically. The confusion comes in when the indwelling Christ of St. Paul's Gospel, deriving as it does from the Ancient Wisdom, ends up later portrayed in Jewish dress, in the Jewish culture, and in the Jewish religion as a presumed literal and historical person who supposedly lived two thousand years ago. In so doing, the New Testament has become a story about a "supposed man" when the myths of the Ancient Wisdom underwent personification. The religion of Jesus, Judaism, based as it is upon the Torah, trains the Soul for a successful Earthly pilgrimage. This is why it is important when reading the New Testament, we try to separate the "religion of Jesus" from the "religion about Jesus" later created by the anti-Judaic Orthodox Roman Church that was intended to lead uneducated and unsuspecting people through the doors of the Roman Church and succeed at this it did.
Due to these two different perspectives blended and synthesized together in the New Testament, there exist many contradictions and conflicts among the Scriptures in the New Testament. I present them through numerous Scriptural comparisons of presumed Messianic prophecies for all to see. By so doing, all can see that something is desperately wrong when the personified and allegorical events in the make-believe lives of allegorical "Solar Saviors" and "Pagan Christs" are twisted and later presented in the New Testament to non-Jews unfamiliar with the Hebrew Scriptures as assumed fulfillments of the Jewish Messianic Scriptures when they were not! What I present in this website is evidence that, contrary to Christianity's claims over the last eighteen hundred years, there is no confirmation of Christology in the Hebrew Scriptures, none whatsoever. Christians use proof-texts to advance their position that Christianity is the fulfillment of Hebrew Scriptures, yet all the while, they do not know that the texts they use from their Bibles are nothing more than false "proof texts" that are taken from forged and corrupted Hebrew Scriptures from the Hebrew and Jewish Bibles and texts! The so-called proof-texts, that are actual forgeries of Hebrew Scriptures unknown to most people without proper and thorough study, end up used to confirm the Christian's inherited religious beliefs from Church traditions. In this website, I will demonstrate that these verses from the Hebrew Bible are not proof-texts at all for the supposed divine message of Christianity but outright lies and deceptions when compared with the earlier Hebrew Masoretic Scriptures before their later corruption in Greek translations of them. That the Greek translations of the Hebrew Scriptures underwent almost constant alteration down through history by Roman scribes and monks, and that this occurred to our Christian Bibles before we inherited them is unknown to the vast majority of Christians in the world.
I have chosen to deal with these forged Christian Messianic passages and have organized them and explained them, commenting on their falsehoods and mistranslations as we analyze them in regard to their inaccuracy of translations when compared to the true Hebrew Masoretic Scriptures. These textual falsifications are faulty in many ways, as you will quickly come to realize when you study and compare them for yourself. Often, these Hebrew Scriptures were taken out of context, twisted in meaning, forced in connection, mistranslated, misquoted, or a combination of these formidable defects. Many scholars today that the many events related in the New Testament are literary creations purposefully written and created to fit the Hebrew Bible's verses. We need not ascertain whether such falsified events really occurred historically or not since this is easily done when such events are researched in Comparative Religious studies and books, and there found to have existed thousands of years earlier as applied to the gods and goddesses in the Ancient Wisdom and Mystery Religions. No greater book could a person own to see this for themselves, than T. W. Doan's Bible Myths and Their Parallels in Other Religions. Yet our pastors and priests, never seeking us that these events in the life of Jesus are supposedly "Divine" and "Unique" when applied to this Jesus. In truth, these events depicted in the life of Jesus in the New Testament are only replayed and repeated from the Ancient Wisdom and then applied to Jesus in the New Testament who is but another in a long line of Gentile personified Sun gods by Orthodox Roman Christianity and their mythology-makers. The New Testament openly states that it was "done that it may be fulfilled" but your study into the materials and evidences in this website will prove to you otherwise. Such a "fulfillment" is obviously valueless as truth or a proof of anything if the passage or Scripture in question from which this doctrine or dogma derives, is shown to be purposefully altered, misquoted, mistranslated, invented, or taken completely out of its original context. When later applied to Jesus in the New Testament, Hebrew Messianic prophecy says nothing of Christology, and Christology has no legitimate basis in the Hebrew Bible.

THE HEBREW SCRIPTURES VALIDATE JUDAISM...AND NOT CHRISTIANITY NOR ROME

What we do find in the Hebrew Bible are verses that show Judaism makes available personal salvation and life eternal through the Torah. The Christian is unwilling to see this, let alone admit this, for if he did, his whole mission of soul salvation for the world would crumble. However, the Hebrew Holy Bible is replete with passages which prove personal salvation is secured through Judaism. Moreover, Jesus also said this in the New Testament itself. In the Gospel of John, 4:22, the New Testament states, "Salvation is of the Jews." the New Testament states. God is shown in the Holy Bible to have a special relationship, a Covenant, with the people of Judaism, which is perfect, unbreakable, and eternal and it is this "Holy Nation and Royal Priesthood" which is to be a light of this Divine Revelation to you and me.

THE HEBREW MESSIAH IS NOT THE CHRIST OF ROME

The Bible describes the Messiah and the Messianic Era. The Hebrew Messiah and the Christ of Christianity have absolutely nothing in common. Jesus did not fulfill the Messianic expectations for the Messiah at all as found in the Hebrew Scriptures. The Jesus of the New Testament appears as if he did but you will quickly see when comparing the Hebrew with the Greek and English passages that no fulfillment is accomplished. The Jews have known this for centuries. Only they have the true Scriptures God imparted through them as his priest and holy nation to humankind and never corrupted them as has been done by the Gentiles with the New Testament. This is new knowledge for the typical Christian, which I am sure will find such information and knowledge hard to believe. After reading the following passages, one by one, and comparing the Hebrew passage with the forged Christian passage in the Christian's Old and New Testament, then it will become apparent to him that someone has tampered with the Hebrew Bible and altered the Revelation from God intended for the world along with "key" passages concerning the Jewish Messiah. In light of such charges made against Gentile Christianity and their "new" religion history records for us that Christianity's Christ is supposed to have a second coming to accomplish the expectations. However, there is nothing in the Hebrew Scriptures about a second coming. Such a doctrine is born out of desperation when confronted with the facts from the Hebrew Scriptures. The New Testament depicts Jesus' followers waiting for his immediate return and did so during their lifetimes in hopes that he would accomplish his supposed Messianic role. This, of course, did not happen, and Christianity has had to explain this nonoccurrence now going on 2,000 years.
Therefore, What Is the Truth about the Matter...Did Jesus Fulfill the Messianic Prophecies in the Hebrew Bible?
Well...let us look at the evidence and make an intelligent decision...shall we?
