False religion that is Judaism.
I preached the gospel of Jesus Christ to a Jewish friend of mine, but they don't believe in Jesus because their "Messiah" hasn't come yet. I pray that they will turn to Jesus during the tribulation.
Jewish people only believe in the Torah, (the first 5 books of the Old Testament: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy) but reject the New Testament regarding our Messiah, Lord, King and Savior of all humankind to pay the debt for our sins, Jesus Christ. The religious leaders called “the Pharisees and Sadducees” at the time of Jesus’ preaching, ministry and healing were about stoning Him because they felt He was a blasphemer. The Pharisees did all they could to plot Jesus’ death because they were blind of the fact that Jesus is God, that He came down in human flesh as a Man and didn’t believe that Jesus could forgive everyone for their sins. All the Pharisees believed in was the Mosaic law and that Abraham was their father, but they didn’t do the works that Abraham did. The Jewish people today still believe in what the Pharisees and Sadducees were all about, not mixing meat and milk together and not eating anything that was unclean in the Old Testament under the Mosaic law. Judaism came about in opposition to Christianity because Christianity was really growing when Jesus’ apostles were preaching His message and the gospel, so Nero forced Judaism into play because he was an evil man and wanted to persecute Christians.
I and My Father are one.” Then the Jews took up stones again to stone Him. - John 10:30-31.
“I know that you are Abraham’s descendants, but you seek to kill Me, because My word has no place in you. I speak what I have seen with My Father, and you do what you have seen with your father.” They answered and said to Him, “Abraham is our father.” Jesus said to them, “If you were Abraham’s children, you would do the works of Abraham. But now you seek to kill Me, a Man who has told you the truth which I heard from God. Abraham did not do this. You do the deeds of your father.” Then they said to Him, “We were not born of fornication; we have one Father—God.” Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love Me, for I proceeded forth and came from God; nor have I come of Myself, but He sent Me. Why do you not understand My speech? Because you are not able to listen to My word. You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it. But because I tell you the truth, you do not believe Me. Which of you convicts Me of sin? And if I tell the truth, why do you not believe Me? He who is of God hears God’s words; therefore you do not hear, because you are not of God.” - John 8:37-47.
Also, the Pharisees believed that Jesus’ miracles and teachings were the works of demons when He was talking to them in John 8, verses 48-59. They were asking Jesus if He was greater than their father Abraham. When Jesus told them in verse 58 that “before Abraham was, I AM.” In verse 59, they were really mad and tried to throw stones at Him, but Jesus hid Himself and went out of the temple. So, that’s why the Pharisees rejected our Lord Jesus Christ completely, then once they said that Jesus had demons, they committed the unforgivable sin which is blaspheming God’s Holy Spirit. What the Pharisees did was completely blasphemous calling our Lord Jesus a demon, when He came to die on the cross for all of humanity. Satan doesn’t want anyone to be saved, but I’m so happy that Jesus rose from the dead to give Satan that massive blow he needed, thinking he was proud to have destroyed Jesus and there’s nothing Satan can do to destroy Him, He is undefeatable, and Satan knows that.
“Truly, I say to you, all sins will be forgiven the sons of men, and whatever blasphemies they may utter; but he who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is subject to eternal condemnation”— because they said, “He has an unclean spirit.” - Mark 3:28-30.
I pray that all Jewish people will come to know and accept Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior, repenting of their sins, knowing that they don’t believe He is the Messiah, that they see the truth which He is, that He is the Savior for all of us, and for our sins. Turn to Him today, because tomorrow is not promised at all for anyone. God Bless everyone!
For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. - Romans 6:23.
