I got part way into Tucker's episode today and the guy mentioned Kabbalah. I had been curious about it, think I saw Charls Carrol mention it but never watched him long.
I figured it was some Jewish heresy like Christian gnosticism but GPT says its accepted in mainstream Orthodox Judaism but is only taught to like 10% of people? Is that right? It just sounds like the typical hidden knowledge type shit, but its very weird to hear that its accepted in mainline rabbinic Judaism. Anyone know about this?
I think Judaism as it's been practiced modernly has been hijacked for thousands of years. I think devils have targeted and twisted what God intended for relationship with Himself (knowledge of the divine).
The God of Israel used to be known as the one true God, history continues to talk of this and yet most still disregard the most High for these wimpy counterfeits. It's really unfortunate.
As far as what's being talked about in mainstream, it's what I've been calling 'weaponized conspiracy', where people are being manipulated to fit in boxes against other boxes and they're all just locked up in the dark and it gets bloody.
I've been getting into Jewish theology a bit lately partly for apologetics about Messianic prophecy, partly to finally understand the Talmud after hearing so much etc. Im no expert at any of this by any stretch, but there is no doubt it has been hijacked by the rabbis since the Temple was destroyed. The entire religion completely changed and they had to respond to Christianity theologically (Messiah, fulfilled prophecy, no Temple for another Messiah etc).
It's pretty fascinating getting into that stuff, but all this esoteric/gnostic/occult whatever you want to call it stuff wasn't really on my radar. It blew my mind to read that it's accepted in Rabbinic Judaism and is just kept quiet, just not what I expected
I'm also investigating these things. As far as bible history goes, I think there's been an attempt to tarnish the seed of Abraham, meaning Islam and Judaism and it has been redeemed through Jesus Christ (Christianity), whom they reject.
Worst sibling rivalary of all time that calls directly back to Cain and Abel (edit: and Seth).
Rabbis were the ones promoting it, it's why Christ called them children of satan.
Close, the modern religion was founded by those who went down the wrong path. After Christ's ministry split Judea and His followers became the early Christians, those who had Rejected the Messiah eventually began following a false messiah named Simon Bar Khoba, who led them into a disastrous revolt against Rome. The surviving pharasee leadership eventually regrouped in Babylon, in the neighboring Parthian Empire, where they wrote the Talmud and Zohar, founding a whole new religion. So, it was twisted from the start and only got worse when guys like Maimonides and Sabbatai Zevi got involved.
I agree to a point, I think it's started with Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and his sons, the tribes of Israel, plus the two sons of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim.
It's a common mistake to conflate the old covenant religion with modern judaism, but they aren't the same thing. Nobody practices the Old Testament religion anymore.
I think if I can remind them of their forefathers they will see Jesus.
