| I grew up as a Jew and always knew that Judaism was bankrupt. | |
| So whenever I see Gentile leaders with Hanukkah menorahs, I have to laugh. | |
| You see, Judaism is for Jews only, unless you're groveling for the Jewish vote. | |
| Gentiles should be glad they're not wanted. | |
| Judaism has nothing to offer. | |
| First of all, Jews lost their kingship. | |
| The Old Testament predicted King David's line would stop once the Messiah came. | |
| Well, he came. Jesus Christ is proclaimed the son of David, but the Jews crucified their king. | |
| Second, Jews lost the priesthood. | |
| Once the Second Temple was destroyed in 70 AD, the genealogies were also destroyed. | |
| No Jew can prove he's from the tribe of Levi. | |
| With no priesthood, there can be no temple. | |
| That makes the rebuilding of the temple a sham. | |
| The prophets Isaiah and Malachi announced that God would replace Levites with Gentiles. | |
| Thus the church's priesthood, an office lost by Judaism, has the sacramental power to impart divine life, beginning with baptism and Holy Communion. | |
| But Judaism's mikveh, wine and bread, is nothing more than tap water, vinegar and yeast. | |
| Third, Jews have no prophets. | |
| No prophet has arisen in Judaism once Christ came. | |
| The rabbis claim the mantle of prophecy passed to them. | |
| Yet the Talmud has only bred a babble of rabbis who bicker with each other. | |
| But the Church, the true Israel of God, is rich with prophets who tell us the future and how to prepare for it. | |
| Not only is Judaism bankrupt, it's a religion of death. | |
| As a child, I envy the Gentiles who celebrated the resurrection of Christ every Easter. | |
| We only had Matzah and Moses, which freed us from slavery, so we could become slaves to money as doctors and lawyers. | |
| But Matzah and Moses couldn't free us from death. | |
| Only Jesus Christ could. | |
| Judaism has no such Messiah who rose from the dead like Jesus Christ. | |
| They thought Menachem Schneerson was their Mashiach who would rise from the dead. | |
| But after standing around his grave for a week, they left him for a corpse. | |
| Mourning the death of the Lubavitcher Rabbi has been difficult for his followers because most of them believed he would never die. | |
| They still believe Rabbi Menachem Schneerson will be physically resurrected as Mashiach, the Messiah. | |
| There is no need for a successor. | |
| Rabbi is his own successor. | |
| There will be certain clouds, heavenly clouds. | |
| That will carry everybody to Jerusalem. | |
| So you don't have to put your house up for sale or anything? | |
| It says that all my ownership, everything that I own, will come with me. | |
| The rabbi is going to rise up in his grave and come back to life? | |
| Absolutely. A physical resurrection when he's going to come back in his full glory, imminently. | |
| Never happened. Like Schneerson, Judaism's a corpse. | |
| With no messiah, no kingship, no priesthood, no prophets, Judaism has no hope for this world or the next. |
