Supernatural Born-Again Rasha

Jewish Nazis in Israel?

2005-09-21T15:10:00.000-07:00

A fire of hatred and persecution is raging in Arad Israel. In a town on the edge of the Negev Desert the war is no longer between Jew and Arab, but between Jew and Jew. For almost a year now a small group of Messianic Jews, Jews who believe Jesus is the Messiah, have been violently harassed by the Ger-Hasidim, an ultra-Orthodox sect originally from Poland.

The situation continues to escalate despite efforts from the secular police, from scheduled protests outside of private homes, to near riots in the street, to the burning of a chess club run by the Messianic Jews. No one seems willing or even able to control the vile hatred that is being perpetrated in the name of religion.

Polly Sigulim is a native born Israeli Jew and a widow who has taken in several orphan children from Messianic families around Israel. Two of her adopted children are teen age boys whose parents were murdered by a homicide bomber. Yet, the Gur-Hasidim protest outside her home on an almost daily basis calling her a Nazi and a harlot and claiming that she kidnaps Jewish children by the busload in order to baptize them as Christian Nazis. These are not small protests either. Recently, the police refused a permit to allow 750 protesters to meet outside her home. The Hasidic Rabbis took them to court and were told to keep their protest to a group of no more than 250.

Imagine the horror of 250 crazed people with signs condemning you as a Nazi outside your home screaming to your neighbors that you are a whore who abuses children and calling for your arrest as an enemy of your nation.

Lura and Eddie Beckford are Messianic Israeli’s who opened a small chess club for the many Russians in that community who love to play the game. Though they openly share their faith with adults in that community they are accused through constant protests of Missionizing small children, which is a crime in Israel. When they started giving away used clothing from the chess club, some of the Hasid protesters actually accused them of giving away clothes stripped from Holocaust victims. In June of this year, the chess club was destroyed by arson. The police did arrest three of the Hasidim for arson, but a judge released them on their own recognizance while they await trial. They are actively protesting and harassing their Messianic Jewish neighbors again.

Secular Jews, appalled at the violence, have called for the police to take more action. At the hearing to determine if the number of protesters could be increased to 750, one of Polly’s neighbors showed his tattoo as a Holocaust survivor and testified how ashamed he was to see Jews acting like Nazi’s.

Yet, no one will stand up to the purveyors of hatred because they are supposed to be “religious” Jews.

The Gur Hasidim are an ultra-Orthodox sect, known for the fur hats their men wear, and the ritual of shaving wives heads and forcing them to wear a Shetyl (a wig, popular with certain ultra-Orthodox sects). In the 19th century the Gur Hasidim virtually started a civil war in Poland with other Orthodox sects over the requirement of shaving a woman’s head, a tradition not found in the biblical scriptures but only in the traditions of their rabbis.

How is this different from the Christian cults? Jim Jones, David Koresh, Joseph Smith Jr., all of which replaced scripture with their own teachings and the commandments of God with their own Laws. Man seems incapable of allowing faith without the restrictions of man’s own legalism, and as a result such cults always result in hatred, persecution, and eventually death.

Orthodox Jews claim that they are striking back against Christians who have persecuted their own people for 2000 years. However, the first Christian martyr, a man named Stepahnos was stoned to death by radical Pharisees for the sin of proclaiming Jesus. Jewish law (not Gods Law) for thousands of years has proclaimed a death penalty for choosing to accept Jesus as the Messiah. That penalty is beheading for gentiles and stoning for Jews.

I thank God that most Jewish people are not followers of this dangerous and hate filled cult and that even in a predominately Jewish nation men like Polly’s neighbor can see the similarities between the Nazi hatred and the hatred of the Gur Hasidim.

Many Christians today feel a need to reach out in love to Israel and to support Israel’s right to exist as a free nation… as such they should encourage Israel to protect the basic human rights of Messianic Jews from the modern Nazi with a fur hat!

You can not love Israel until you first love your Jewish brothers and sisters in Christ. The persecution of Messianic Jews by the ultra-Orthodox must stop or Christians should withhold all support for Israel and send their money instead to Organizations who will help.

Rabertson or Jackson: Who Speaks for America?

2005-08-29T15:28:00.000-07:00

When two self proclaimed religious leaders proclaim American Foreign Policy from opposite sides of the fence, America is the real loser. Last week Rev. Pat Robertson told a worldwide audience that the U.S. should assassinate Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez because the leftist President is a threat to American security and the cost of an assassination would be far less than the cost of a war.

The White House was very quick to point out that Pat Robertson does not establish U.S. Foreign Policy and that political assignation is forbidden by Federal Law. But Pat Robertson has a long history of radical remarks that spur his detractors as well as those who reject his version of the gospel to criticism. While some were quick to ask for President Bush to openly repudiate his friend Rev. Robertson, Chavez went so far as to formally request his extradition to Venezuela for terrorism.

Two bullies, who both use words instead of fists, are standing on the street corners of world opinion challenging each other, when along comes the master manipulator, Rev. Jesse Jackson, to the intersection to make sure he is in the limelight for another of his 15 minutes of fame.
Ian James of the Guardian reported today, “Jackson, who arrived Saturday for a visit along with members of his Rainbow/PUSH Coalition, cited record-high oil prices as one major reason the U.S. government should seek better relations with Venezuela, which is the world's fifth largest oil exporter and a major supplier to the U.S. market.”
Pat Robertson may have played the fool with his inappropriate remarks, but Rev. Jackson is just as foolish with his idea that we should support a totalitarian socialist state because it possesses oil. It seems to me that Religious leaders should stick to religion and leave Foreign Policy to those tasked by the Legislative and Executive branch with those responsibilities.

Pat why didn’t you organize a mission trip to Caracas to preach Jesus to the good people of Venezuela? Jessie when you met with President Chavez which scriptures did you share concerning his hope of salvation? Why do you both insist on entering into a conflict in which neither of you has a part or portion to play?

Pat Robertson does not speak for me, nor does Jessie Jackson. I presume from the nature of their rhetoric that they do not speak for Christ either. They speak for themselves, in the hope of exalting themselves in the eyes of others and in doing so further the conflict. Cursed are the peace breakers for they shall be called the children of Satan.

Just Another Racist

2005-08-29T09:04:00.000-07:00

Always the voice of the radical left, Al Sharpton yesterday lauded Cindy Sheehan as the voice of the conscience of America.  As I read this I could not help but wonder why Brother Al would turn from God, let alone why any black man in America would so praise a racist.

What a sad day it is when David Duke, the voice of hatred and bigotry in America would sing in unison with Al Sharpton, the self appointed Pastor and protector of Black America.  This same Cindy Sheehan which the press claims is a grieving mother speaking out for the mothers of America sounds more like the national spokesperson for PLO, Hamas, and Hezbollah.

In a speech at San Francisco State University Ms. Sheehan said, "We have no Constitution. We're the only country with no checks and balances. We want our country back if we have to impeach George Bush down to the person who picks up the dog sh-t in Washington! Let George Bush send his two little party animals to die in Iraq. It's OK for Israel to have nuclear weapons but we are waging nuclear war in Iraq, we have contaminated the entire country. It's not OK for Syria to be in Lebanon. Hypocrites! But Israel can occupy Palestine? Stop the slaughter!"

Since then she has claimed that she will no longer pay taxes to support a war for Israel and called the Iraqi terrorists who are assaulting our troops, FREEDOM FIGHTERS.  Well Cindy, George Bush did not kill your son, your precious freedom fighters killed him.

I know that this is supposed to be a grieving mother… but she sounds much more like an angry lunatic with a swastika on her arm.  And yet, no one in the liberal press points out this rhetoric.  No one talks about her support from David Duke.  It seems that in American politics Satan himself can bash any president who is not a card carrying communist.

Let me digress for a moment to a little history lesson.  The radical left in America today is a direct outgrowth of the American Socialist Party, which during the McCarthy era dove underground and resurfaced as a radical leftist wing within the Democratic Party.  No, I am not saying that the Democrats are communist or even socialist.  What I am saying is the radical fringe within that party does tend to employ the same social engineering mindset as Marxism, “from each according to their ability, to each according to their need.”

The far right, in particular, Christian Identity and the KKK, result from the same racist inspiration of Nazism, which is founded on the idea of racial purity and the supremacy of the Aryan (White) race.  Both extremes hate America because it is a land formed on the principle of equality and liberty for all.

The scriptures are clear that God will bless those that bless Israel and curse those which curse Israel.  Rev. Sharpton, if you are a man of God as you claim you are you will divorce yourself from this racist “Mother Nazi” and pray for the peace of Jerusalem.  If you will not then you are not my brother, but the ultimate hypocrite: A black minister who speaks for equality for the black man and persecution of the Jew.  JAR – Just Another Racist!

Wherewith Art Thou Saved?

2005-08-25T14:42:00.000-07:00

Everywhere you look within the body of Messiah is strife and controversy. Sometimes that strife is masked in denominationalism. Baptists who believe once saved always saved (OSAS) verses Methodists who believe in a free will choice to believe or not, have been fighting for hundreds of years. Within our own movement the struggle is often over whether gentiles need to observe Torah, or whether Kabbalah should be studied by believers.

For every doctrine posed to humanity there is dispute and dispute leads to strife.

And therein lies the core problem which faces the body. It has become schizophrenic. Loosing it center and it focus the whole assembly… from conventional Christianity to Messianic Judaism has become a cluster of squabbling denominations.

I have said many times that denominations are just nations of demons! We have had 2000 years of arguing over doctrine and still base our doctrines on majority rule. Tertullian won out over Arius and he was branded a heretic (Anathema)… but yet his doctrine survives today… many people in the Messianic movement base their entire faith on the idea that Y’shua could not possibly be G-d in the flesh.

Jesuits burnt Protestants at the stake for defying the doctrines of Rome. Messianics walk into Christian churches and call them all pagans. Even within Judaism, Orthodox Jews condemn Reform Jews as leaving the faith.

I am convinced that this is why the fastest growing religion in western civilization is denial of faith… aka Atheism or Agnosticism. BECAUSE WE ARE SCARING THE WILD SHEEP AWAY WITH OUR FOOLISHNESS!

Every man has a doctrine… and to be honest doctrine is not bad. Doctrine defines what we believe. It is important that our doctrine be defined scripturally, that is be sound, and that it edifies our faith. But when we replace our faith with our doctrine, we cease to be people of faith in Messiah and become instead followers of doctrine.

doc·trine (dŏk'trĭn)n.

A principle or body of principles presented for acceptance or belief, as by a religious, political, scientific, or philosophic group; dogma.

A rule or principle of law, especially when established by precedent.

A statement of official government policy, especially in foreign affairs and military strategy.

Archaic. Something taught; a teaching.

[Middle English, from Old French, from Latin doctrīna, from doctor, teacher.]

I find it interesting that the “archaic” definition of doctrine is a teaching. What once started as a teaching, hopefully led by the Ruach, has for many evolved into a rule of law. Traditional Christians actually have the doctrine that they are freed from the LAW… so having sensed their freedom that have created a new law that defines them as free from the law. So having no law they make the lack of law a law unto itself.

There is nothing wrong with teaching… let me reiterate this… THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH TEACHING THE GOSPEL. But then that is the problem? Is OSAS the gospel? Is KJV Only the gospel? Is Kabbllah for believers the gospel? Is Lunar Shabbat the gospel? Is the sacred name the gospel? Is the name Y’shua the gospel? Is keeping Kosher the gospel? Shall I continue and make this the longest blog entry on earth or…

The gospel (good news) is: You don’t have to justify yourself to G-d, G-d justified himself to you.

The good news is Y’shua died for you. All the rest is the foolishness of men.

I can hear the doctrimanics mumbling at this already… you need doctrine to define your faith they will say. What is your faith in? Are you saved by OSAS or by the KJV? Are you saved by your belief in Kaballah? How did Kaballah save you?

The essence of faith is Y’shua. If you have other ideas about doctrine and how important it is to wear tzitzit, tie teffelin, take communion, keep Christmas, keep Shabbat on the 7th day/1st day/every day/lunar cycle (insert your own doctrine here). Go ahead and teach it, more importantly back it up with scripture. I will listen to your idea and test it by scripture. But if you choose to condemn me, call me reprobate, accuse me of being gay/a womanizer/a fool/evil/a drunkard/a fornicator/or a child abuser because I don’t agree with your doctrine. Then it doesn’t matter in the least what your doctrine is. You are unsaved. You have made your doctrine your salvation and want everyone else to be saved by your doctrine.

G-d gave his only-begotten Son for you and you have chosen to follow your pet doctrine instead of the provision of salvation.

The Rasha one is not impressed and neither is my Father… take your pet doctrine and your denomination, which so often is a denomination of one and please stop pretending to be a teacher in Y’israel. I’m glad that the Most High G-d put men like me in your path to keep you from stealing HIS sheep. Call me evil if you want, for such accusations the Pharisees, the doctrimaniacs of first century Judea, railed against the L-rd of life.

There is only one name, one idea, one doctrine (teaching) under heaven given amongst men by which we MUST be saved.

Fear Not

2005-08-23T10:29:00.000-07:00

“Dateline: September 1, 2007

The US Army and civilian policemen completed the disengagement from Texas today complying with President Fernando Mendez’s request not to destroy the infrastructure of Mexico’s northernmost province.  The last holdout of radical right wing fanatics were dragged kicking and screaming from the Alamo at 11:30 PM last night after being subdued with 3 hours of concentrated tear gas.

President Hillary Clinton, this morning, praised the military for successfully completing this arduous but necessary task with a minimal loss of life and destruction of Mexican property and called for all Americans to pray for the peace and reconciliation of our nation as we enter into this new era of peace with Mexico.  President Clinton also reiterated her vow that this gesture of peace ensures that we will not need to disengage from New Mexico, Arizona, or California, though she is considering the UN mandate to return Florida to Cuban control.”

So you think this is a total fantasy of a rambling blue man?  What would you have said a year ago if I had suggested Ariel Sharon would return Gaza to the PLO?

These are strange times we live in, and yet, they are but the beginning of sorrows.  The world will get much worse before the end comes.  Foolishness will abound and man’s terror to man increase as the depravity of man’s system waxes to fullness.

Y’shua warned that it would be as the days of Noach before he returned.  In that day every man did as was right in his own eyes,  Nephelim consumed the flesh of humanity and fought senseless bloody wars against themselves.  While this is only hinted at in canonical history, there is enough evidence from non-traditional sources to support the biblical contention that it was really, REALLY BAD.

Are you ready for what is probably coming?  I mean READY!  When the Gestapo knocks on your door what are you going to do?

It’s so easy to be consumed by fear when all around you is chaos.  It is easy to strike back… Yes, you can pour acid on the troops below the roof of your synagogue, but they will still sweep you into their cage.  You can form a militia to defend your land, your rights, your home, but you will not be able to stand against an army which can summon forth air strikes and tanks.  You can hide in a cave with all your family and friends, but the modern juggernauts will hunt you out for their consumption.  In the end game of this world, there will be no escape from evil, except that which the Most High G-d has provided.

To live is Moshiach, to die is gain!  Rav Sha’ul said that almost 1900 years ago… just before they disconnected his head from his body.  One sharp pain in the neck and then GLORY unimaginable.  We need to stop fearing what man can do to us and fear him who is able to cast us into true despair and separation.

My word to the Body of Messiah today is this… FEAR NOT for I am with you sayeth the L-rd.  If ye walk in fear then ye are not in faith.  The worse they can do is kill you, and if you are his, you will not ever truly die.

Proclaim Y’shua until they remove your head from your shoulders and you will hear the refrain, “Well done thou good and faithful servant.”

An Apology to Israel

2005-08-19T08:27:00.000-07:00

From Reuters News Service on Thursday 8/18:
CRAWFORD, Texas - The White House on Thursday praised Israel's pullout from the Gaza Strip as a bold move that will strengthen ties between Israel and the United States.

As an American Jew, I wish to apologize to my Israeli Chaverim for the anti-Semitic actions and views of my President and his cabinet.

Were it possible Mr. President I would take back my vote for you in the last election. It is time for America to form a Christian Right Party no matter what the effect is on the Republican party. Any nation, any person, who will not bless the seed of Avraham will be cursed by Almighty G-d.

Israel belongs to the Jews only… it is the land of promise. There is nothing more I can say.

The Real Agenda of Cindy Sheehan

2005-08-18T08:01:00.000-07:00

I don't often get political. For years now I have said I have no King but Messiah, even so Bo Adonai Y'shua. In a recent discussion I blasted President George W. Bush, who I voted for unabashedly, for his part in encouraging the madness of the disengagement. But today I must put the shoe on the other foot.

The current darling of the liberal press is one Ms. Cindy Sheehan, who is camped outside the Bush ranch in Crawford TX with an enclave of grey hair pony tailed ex-Vietnam war protestors from San Francisco. The press reports every day how poor Ms. Sheehan, who lost her son in the Iraq war, pleads for the right to address her concerns with President Bush. Be still my bleeding heart.

From the reports in the media it is difficult to fathom why the President would not meet with such a grieving mother, simply for the PR benefits and common decency. Perhaps he knows something we do not.

Things are not always as they appear. HaSatan appears as an angel of light, and Ms. Sheehan appears as a grieving mother... until one investigates her history. Cindy Sheenan has met with the President before on this issue, even the media has fairly reported that. What they fail to tell us is that in between that meeting and today Ms. Sheehan has made many public comments that reveal her real motivation.

In a speech given in 2004 at San Francisco State University (SFSU) Cindy Sheehan went into an anti-American anti-Israel tirade that sounds more like a white supremacist than a grieving mother:

"We have no Constitution. We're the only country with no checks and balances. We want our country back if we have to impeach George Bush down to the person who picks up the dog sh-t in Washington! Let George Bush send his two little party animals to die in Iraq. It's OK for Israel to have nuclear weapons but we are waging nuclear war in Iraq, we have contaminated the entire country. It's not OK for Syria to be in Lebanon. Hypocrites! But Israel can occupy Palestine? Stop the slaughter!"

I don't think that requires much analysis to be honest... but, "We have no constitution", "no checks and balances"? Come now Cindy... the checks and balances protected your Bill Clinton from impeachment, but you would remove those checks in your fervor to rid this nation of G.W. Bush? And why would that be Cindy, could it be because he supports Israel?

Her words are bad enough but they only portray the vile and sinister motives of her heart. Her associations are far more revealing. Her co-speaker at this same speech was Lawyer Lynn Stewart who she introduced as her Atticus Finch to the audience. Should the reference escape you, Atticus Finch is the lawyer who defended an innocent Black man in the book, "To Kill a Mockingbird" (required reading when I was in High School!) Ms. Stewart is a convicted Terrorist-Supporter who passed Fatwas from her client Sheik Omar Abdel Rahman, the blind sheik responsible for the first WTC bombing.

Why would even the most flaming of liberals align herself with the enemies of America, unless of course they were an enemy of America.

I have been watching the news reports very careful to see if another member of her modern entourage at Crawford would be revealed. So far I have caught glimpses of him standing behind Cindy in photos and at least one video. But the news media seems determined not to point him out or record when he speaks. Who is this mystery man? David Duke, himself!

Now this raises a serious concern... why would the extreme left be aligned with the extreme right in any cause? Because both are extremists and both are determined to destroy Israel at any cost. HaSatan has been trying to destroy us from day one... Pharaoh, Haman, Antiochus, Titus, Constantine, Hitler, Duke... shall we add Sheenan to his list of puppets?

Duke, however, unlike Ms. Sheehan does not veil his antisemitism... it is his defining quality, he wrote recently on www.davidduke.com: "Cindy Sheehan has a lot to be angry about. Her son was betrayed and his life lost by government officials who treasonably created and continue a war for Israel and the Jewish supremacist agenda rather than that of the United States."

It looks like politics, it smells like politics... but it is not the politics of man... it is heavenly politics... and attempt by haSatan to further humanities hatred of G-d and his people.

"We battle not against flesh and blood, but against powers and principalities and spiritual wickedness in high places" Rabbi Sha'ul circa 65 CE

Nothing has changed and it will not change until Moshiach Y'shua sets on his throne... Bo Adonai Y'shua

Only One Way to Fight a War

2005-08-16T09:55:00.000-07:00

It is difficult for an American Jew to undestand Israeli politics for a number of reasons.

First, we are not there. Insane murderers are not seducing their children to blow themselves up in our back yard. We do not live in communities with barbed wire fences and watch towers. We are not surrounded by enemies sworn to the elimination of the Jewish people.

Secondly, we enjoy some modicum of freedom of speech. An IDF Rabbi (Chaplain) was recently stripped to the rank of private and imprisoned for 4 1/2 months for daring to suggest to the troops that participation in Sharon's disengagement plan violates Torah.

As Americans we are a blessed people. I know it does not seem that way at times, flaming homosexuals march our streets proclaiming their rights to enter into unholy matrimony and that right to reproduce by turning our children away into their abomination. It does not seem than way when liberal communists want to shut down Christian schools or persecute Christians who wish to pray in public.

Sometimes it seems worse when you are a Messianic Jew. Your own family will disown you. Your community condemns you as a missionary out to steal Jewish souls, and the Christians condemn you as a Judaizer trying to destroy their own faith in all those lovely Roman customs they practice.

Sometimes I get disenchanted with it all. That's an easy trap to fall into. Elijah mere days after calling down fire from heaven to devour the prophets of Baal, sat under a juniper tree and cried out to G-d for death. But then if you look at the rest of this world, you will see how wonderfully blessed you are.

The gestapo is not visiting your town this week. The army is not trying to evict you to give your home to some uneducated terrorist. Little Abdul from the town down the road is not visiting your children's school with a knapsack full of C4. YET!

The price of peace is vigilance. The cost of freedom is determination.

I commend my Jewish brethren in Gaza and the West Bank for standing firm in the midst of madness. I guess it is fortunate that the blue man is not in eretz. I would not attack my brethren in the IDF, who are there following the orders of a wicked and foolish Knesset. I would teach the Palestinians the meaning of Terror.

These lands are not occupied. They were liberated as the IDF fought back against a viscious attack designed to wipe out all Israel. How would Sharon react if the brave men, women, and children were to march out of their soon to be lost homes in mass and marched to the south with blood cries on their lips... to carry out haShem's original command to clean the land of promise of these modern descendants of Caanan. Would their be Barak's amongst the IDF who would join them with enough firepower to show the arrogant Arabs what a real jihad is.

I would call Sharon's poker hand of land for peace and raise the bet to death for peace... till every Arab is driven out of the Land of Israel. Aren't you glad I am in America?

Hank (Thomas Paine) McCoy

The Source of Antisemitism

2005-08-05T09:24:00.000-07:00

Martin Luther started out as a freind to the Jews. Early in his career, soon after breaking away from the RCC he wrote, "The Jews are blood-relations of our Lord; if it were proper to boast of flesh and blood, the Jews belong more to Christ than we. I beg, therefore, my dear Papist, if you become tired of abusing me as a heretic, that you begin to revile me as a Jew."

Yet, by the end of his life, a different man arose within him, he had changed into this: "Therefore be on your guard against the Jews, knowing that wherever they have their synagogues, nothing is found but a den of devils in which sheer self-glory, conceit, lies, blasphemy, and defaming of God and men are practiced most maliciously and veheming his eyes on them."

What was it that changed this man of G-d, a man who once broke free of the antisemitism of Rome to say such harsh words about the Children of Israel?

We deal with Anti-Missionaries on a regular basis in our work. They are ever present it seems, disrupting out conversations, condemning us, harassing us, telling the world that we are not jews and never were. There condemnations and non-stop harassment can be felt everywhere Messianic Jews and Gentiles gather on the internet.

Last night a freind asked me, "Why is it that they are so very evil?" I have pondered this most of the evening and into this morning. First let me say that the majority of Jews are good G-d fearing people, who love their G-d and love their families, many of them love their congregations and their rabbis. They are not antimissionaries. But the father of lies has succeeded in poisoning some of these people to believe that they have a mission in life to proclaim their gospel of hate.

In reality are they any different from other cults? Those like myself, who have experianced first hand the vile rhetoric of the Jehovah's Witnesses and the Moonies would tell you that there is nothing new under the sun. Just this week a noted JW told me that I was a pagan idoloter who was decieving the world with my heresy that Y'shua is G-d. He went on to speak in front of an entire room of psuedo-Messianic "AntiChrists" that I was a definate danger to the "Messianic Movement" and that people like me were as dangerous as the "bastard" Walter Martin. One of the AntiChrists, a Mr. Seed shall we say then started proclaiming that I was a Jesuit Priest and that Walter Martin was a Jesuit Priest.

There is not difference between this form of assault and that of the anti-missionaries. It is a common tactic with all cults that if you can not prove your point with scripture, you attack the person who is speaking against your "private interpretation." They did this to Sha'ul and they did this with Y'shua.

They did the same with Martin Luther in his day. They went so far as to gather intelligence on what Luther was doing and report it to the papacy. Rome, sensing that Luther was a vehicle by which they could lose control of the German people, used that information and further encouraged the Jews to verbally assault him.

We live at best 70 years and if by reason of strength we make it to 80 or 90, Baruch haShem! But the demons have been around a whole lot longer. They know the weaknesses of man and understand how to turn us against one another. It is the oldest trick in their arsenal. They simply encourage our own sin nature and we create our own mess.

Even in Y'shuas day, a hand full of men, drunk with self-declared power, used these same tactics against the L-rd of life. How did he respond? He called them Hypocrites, a Brood of Vipers, the Sons of the Devil, and Stone white sepulchurs full of death. Was this addressed to the Jews in whole? No, only to those Pharisees who sought daily his death.

Martin Luther was not Y'shua. He was a man... abused by both the RCC and his own group of anti-Missionaries. In stead of reacting in the Spirit, this man got into the flesh and wrote horrible words, addressed not just to his attackers but to the Jews in general: "First to set fire to their synagogues or schools and to bury and cover with dirt whatever will not burn, so that no man will ever again see a stone or cinder of them. This is to be done in honor of our Lord and of Christendom, so that God might see that we are Christians, and do not condone or knowingly tolerate such public lying, cursing, and blaspheming of his Son and of his Christians. For whatever we tolerated in the past unknowingly - and I myself was unaware of it - will be pardoned by God. But if we, now that we are informed, were to protect and shield such a house for the Jews, existing right before our very nose, in which they lie about, blaspheme, curse, vilify, and defame Christ and us (as was heard above), it would be the same as if we were doing all this and even worse ourselves, as we very well know."

Soem people will not like my opinion in this... but I am not here to be liked. Yet, I must say... the tinder that iniated the fire of antisemitism is these same Pharisees today, in the form of the anti-Missionaries.

Remember as you deal with these people that they are most probably demon possessed. It is our desire that our people come to the knowledge of their own Messiah, but our calling is to sow the seed. The Most High G-d is responsible for the harvest.

If they disrupt a study, then they should get one warning. If they continue then we should show them the door. It is time we treated them like any other cult. And in the Ruach, I commend all my brethren, to not let your heart be hardened, to not let your love grow cold. Keep it centered on Y'shua, that we may continue to grow.

The Veil of the Deciever

2005-08-02T09:11:00.000-07:00

For years I have been perplexed by the apparent take-over and corruption of the Messianic Movement by Gentiles. I suspect I have not been alone in this. Comments by Juster, Fructenbaum, and others far more sholarly than this Rasha One have attempted to explain the Two-House or Ephraimite movement.

Eschatology and Soiterology aside, what is the real danger, in any, in gentiles believeing they are the lost tribes of Israel? The argument can be made that it brings them closer to haShem, strengthens their relationship with Y'shua, and returns them to Torah as a guide to righteousness.

There are numerous arguments that can be made in response and many of them have been made in the past.

1. It is of the flesh... it profits no one to be Israel after then flesh... the only real profit is in coming to Y'shua
2. It promotes a false hope... many of these Ephraimites see a day when they will be allowed to make Aliyah... or worse, a greater Exodus when all the followers of these groups will return in mass to Eretz Yisrael. (and we were worried about the Palestinians!)
3. It is racist... it doesnt matter whether you are Jew or Gentile, you must be born again and grated into the Olive Tree of faith (Romans 11)
4. It does not fit with history... the 10 tribes were scattered through Asia, there is not evidence that they migrated to NW Europe.

But what is the danger of this belief, IF it draws them closer to Y'shua and moves them to learn Torah?

I now believe that this is all part of a greater deception. Perhaps one of the greatest deceptions.

These people regularly come to the Goyish Messianic movement because they are anomias. Now before anyone reacts out of ignorance let me explain that anomias here is LATIN not Greek. It is a psychological term used for those with an identity crisis. They enter this movement not because they are Jews but because they want to be Jews. They see that the blessing is on the seed of Avraham and they desire to be that seed. They have an identity crisis.

The scriptural answer is that through Avrahams seed (Y'shua) all the families of the earth are blessed. Therefore it does not matter if you are a Jew or a Gentile. Your blessing is Y'shua.

So then seeking an idenity ear ticklers are able to fulfill that inner search for who they are. They become what they want to be, and unfortunately, once their new identity is established, they often begin to despise the Jews.

The deciever has set them up for a fall. A big one! And his snare is as old as he is. These same ear ticklers who are proclaiming this Ephraimite Identity to them are an unkosher bunch to say the least. False doomsday prophets setting dates for the end of the world and calling for "Israel" to gather together for the greater exodus. Some of these False Doomsday prophets come out of notorious anti-Christian cults. Other fake academic credentials and plagerize translations of Psuedo-graphica. Some claim a spurious source for Canonical scripture (things like Aramaic Matthew and Hebrews from the middle ages)

Go to their conferences and you will hear teachings about the validity of the Book of Jasher, or the beauty of Enoch. You will hear Rabbinic and non Rabbinic Halacha proclaimed as gospel. You will hear teachings on Lunar Shabbat and Aviv Barley. But how often will you hear of Y'shua, kinsman redeemer to man?

What is the veil of the Deciever? To suck these people in with the promise of an identity as a psuedo-Jew... fill them with false hope through false prophecy... feed them another gospel and even another Torah... and in time:

1. The prophecies will prove false... some will be disallusioned
2. Their families will hate them because they have become fake jews
3. They will be isolated from the body of Messiah and led away from sound teaching
4. They will lose hope
5. They will lose faith

And then the enemy will come in through his servants the anti-Missionaries and steal the rest of the Word from their hearts. They will be told that they dont have to become Jews... they can be "Righteous Gentiles"... many have already fallen to this cult and many more will follow. They will become Noachides.

Call me paranoid if you want. But it has already happened to some. As the Goyish Messianic movement progresses into more and more wierdness and instability, more and more of them will find another identity... Noachidism!

So what can we do about this? Proclaim Y'shua to the world... do not compromise, and do not accept these false messianics as anything other than the cults they are. Teach Y'shua and he alone as the covering for sins. Teach repentance from dead works (faith in anything but him) and the Grace of G-d.

NO COMPROMISE!

Real Peace for Jerusalem

2005-08-01T07:46:00.000-07:00

Today I recieved notice of a call for a worldwide prayer event. Jews throughout the world as asked to say the Sh'ma on this Wed. at 2 PM Eastern Time (7 PM in Jerusalem where they will gather at the Western Wall). The purpose of this is to invoke the Most High's aide in promoting peace during the forced expulsion of Jewish settlers from Gaza.

Peace is something we could all use in our lives. But what is the price of peace? Israel was given to the children of Yakov, from the river of Egypt unto the Euprates. G-d has reassembled Israel from the nations and beginning in 1948 HE has established them as a nation once again.

Nehemia in the spirit of prophecy once told the bedouins who were harrassing him "We will build this wall... but YOU have no right, no portion, nor memorial is Yerushalaiyim!" Amein v'Amein!!! That statement is just as true today.

The Partition of "Palestine" (a made up word) gave Am Yisrael a little strip of land at the coast. The Arabs foolishly attacked Israel until they beat them back to the point that they controlled a large portion of the land that was historically theirs. Now the Arabs cry out "Occupation - they have stolen our land." Excuse me... YOU attacked with overwhelming might and were beaten by a broken and wounded people. Are you Arabs or Canaanites? You fight like Canaanites and whine like little babies! IT is not your land and it never was! Your ancestors stole the land and converted a CHURCH, a Byzantine CHURCH, into a mosque on top of the JEWISH Temple mount.

You have no right.
You have no portion.
You have no memorial.

All you have is the blood of your children who you daily pass through the nitroglycerin to your false god Molech.

Sorry, I get emotional on this topic, but perhaps emotion is not the solution. The whole situation reaks of emotion and more than a little testosterone. The only answer that is acceptable according to scripture is Israel belongs to the Jew... Jordan belongs to the Arab. Go home Arabs.

But that answer is not one that liberal secularists can accept. They want to feel good about themselves and what they have accomplished. They honestly think land for peace is a workable option. They are as guilty as the Muhmahs in this. That they have set the enemy of Israel at their doorstep and given away their birthright as did Esau.

I can not solve the mideast conflict and neither can you. The conflict is as old as Sinai. And it will only be solved when King Moshiach sets on his throne.

So we will join with them in singing the Sh'ma. Not that the conflict will end but that innocent lives will be spared. I praise G-d I am not in the IDF and ordered to destroy the homes and dreams of my fellow jews in the name of a hopeless plan to trade land for peace.

Pray for the Peace of Yerusahalaiyim. Even So BO ADONAI Y'SHUA... BO MELECH HAMELECHIM!

The Name for the BLOG

2005-07-29T12:27:00.000-07:00

Obviously the name chosen for the BLOG is a parody of the movie title "Natural Born Killers" but perhaps the phsychology behind it runs deeper.

Nicodemus, a Pharisee with a Hellenized name, knew that Y'shua was different from Raboni. That he recognised his authority as a teacher of Israel is obvious because he refered to him as Master. This certainly went against the opinions of most of the other P'rushim. Why, this man had the audacity to call his group "Stone white sepulchurs filled with dead men's bones", a title which to any Observant Jew would be the greatest insult prossible.

Yet here he was before a teacher who had dared to speak so harshly against his own masters. Nicodemus was facing an intellectual and spiritual discord as he approached this master at night. Perhaps he came seeking an understanding of why this teacher was so at odds with the teacher he was setting under. After all both were Jews, both were proclaiming Torah Observance, both were issuing Halachah... perhaps if he became a student of both he could bridge the gap and end the disharmony between them.

As was the custom of the day he applauded the Master for his fruit. Normally he would have greeted him with a plauditude for his wisdom, but Nicodemus had heard far more about his workings than his teaching, so he praised him for his miracles. I am certain that the response he recieved was far beyond his expection: "Amein Amein, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. "

Nicodemus' response is one of confusion and surprise. "How can a man be born again," he asked "How can he reenter the womb?"

The natural man can not understand the things of the Ruach. Outside of this new birth, the very thought of the new birth is foolishness. We are born, we live, we eat, we make babies, and then we die. On the simplist analysis, that is the meaning of life.

A dead Spirit can not understand Spiritual life... therefore the anti-missionaries, the neo-P'rushim, have no concept of anyting other than what their 2 dimensional universe provides.

Yes, they are like flat-landers, living on a plane in a 2D universe, not comprehending that a third dimension hovers just above them. If the Ruach is born dead as WE believe and as the Brit Chadashah teaches, it can not understand life, having never experianced it.

Perhaps we should not be so hard on the Anti-Missionaries? Can they help it if they have eyes that can not see and ears that can not hear? Nature abhors a vaccumn and so does the human mind. Having rejected the gift of the Messiah and his gift of a living Ruach, the sages developed their own gospel, and to them it was good news indeed.

They didn't need sacrifices anymore. They could not do them anyway. They didn't want a Redeemer, so Moshiach became nothing more than a king who bring those pesky goyim under control. From their dead spirits seperated from the most high they created their own Torah. They even adapted the philosophies of the nations and implemented a form of reincarnation. They had made themselves G-d and made themselves eternal. The promise made by the serpent in the garden was complete.

But are they any different from any other religion on earth. Buddism teaches that man can evolve into a god over countless lives. Hinduism much the same. Roman Catholics seek that all important beafication. Man's nature is to desire to be G-d... and he is not! So G-d became man to redeem us and the rabbis turned away.

All the religions of man are man seeking to justify himself to G-d and in the process becoming as G-d. Biblical Christianity and Biblical Judaism are G-d justifying man and making him as a son.

But they just don't get it... to them we are the evil. Why? Because the way we have chosen is so easy. We don't have to obey G-d for browny points, he loves us just as we are. Thus we are free to love him and to obey him because we love him.

Poor Nic? I'm not sure he ever got it. Do you? Will they?

All we can do is sow the seed and let the L-rd of the Harvest bring the fruit.

Meanwhile the teachers of these other gospels will continue to try and steal the sheep's souls. They will call us evil... Rasha. Just the Pharisees who came before them attributed Y'shua's miracles to Baal-Zeebub.

I know that my rashaness is from him. I would be happy just to preach the Word, but I am called to defend the sheep. I'm a Supernaturally, Born-Again from the dead, Filled with a Living Ruach Rasha to the Evils of this World. Thats what G-d has made me and that is what I will remain.

The Origin of Hank McCoy

2005-07-29T09:03:00.000-07:00

So what is this new craze called Blogging... perhaps it is just an electronic diary, but perhaps it is much more.

I will use this to capture my ramblings and ravings as TheBeast. The Counter-Anti-Missionary Missionary to my own people, Am Yisrael. That way everyone can see how Rasha Hank McCoy truely is.

Let me start by saying that my real name is not Hank McCoy. Hank McCoy is a fictional character created by Stan Lee of Marvel Comics who went by the name of the Beast. As a child, I was the original Beast fan. I did extra chores to earn money to buy the X-Men comics each month as they came out. By Issue 4, I had won a genuine Marvel No-Prize (a certificate signed by Stan Less himself) for finding an error in X-Men issue #2. In my teenage years I outgrew the comics of course, but my love for the character of the Beast never faded.

Hank McCoy or the Beast, was a mutant with a brain and a tremendous sense of chivalry. He was a large man with extra large hands and feet, which enabled him to climb walls, make enourmous jumps, and kick the bad guys to kingdom come, all well reciting Shakespeare, Aristotle, or even Dante to everyone in ear shot. An Intellectual bore with the strength of 10 men.

As the Messianic Defense League began to develop I realised I needed a new identity besides my traditional profjra (Professor JRA) or RavYossef nicknames on the internet. One day it came to me - I was battling the enemies of the gospel and spouting my classical knowledge at the same time. I was the Beast.

So that my freinds is the origin of the name Hank McCoy also known as the Beast.

Occasionally you may still see me as RebRasha (Mr. Evil). That is a name adapted from the antimissionaries who kept saying I was pure evil. Of course, Evil to them is apposing their attempt to turn the world into Noachides and destroy all vestiges of Christianity from the universe. Believe the Mormons, the JW's, the Way, and especially the Moonies consider me just as EVIL. But I can not compromise on the truth. Quid est Veritas? Isos est Veritas! (What is Truth? Y'shua is Truth!)

Yet who am I really? Well perhaps that will be the subject of my next post...

To be continued...
