No such thing as an "Israelite jew."
Jews are the Edomites, not the Israelites.
Judaism is focused on the Talmud, which is the jewish teaching of how to GET AROUND the Torah.
They do NOT believe in the Torah, as in the first 5 books of Moses.
What most Christians do not understand is that jews use the word "Torah" to mean two DIFFERENT things:
- (1) The first 5 books of the Bible, and
- (2) ALL of the writings and oral teachings of Judaism, which includes the Talmud.
They can SAY they follow the Torah, but what they REALLY MEAN is they follow ALL of jewish teachings, where the Talmud is primary.
They even have entire schools devoted to learning the Talmud, but not the books of Moses.
There is a passage in the Bible where Jesus says to beware of the "priests" (meaning the rabbi jews) who "sit on the Chair of Moses" and then stand and preach something opposite of Moses (opposite of The Law).
While they are sitting on the Chair of Moses (which rabbis do in synagogues today), they talk about the Law as presented by Moses.
But THEN THEY STAND, and tell you why Moses was wrong, in that they preach what the Talmud says -- which is the opposite of Moses.
So, "Torah" does not mean the same thing to you as it does to them.
They are TAUGHT TO DECEIVE as a NECESSARY practice of their religion.
That is what most Christians are missing.
