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?
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.
