This is if you completely ignore the extreme conflict between Jesus and his followers and the Jews of the Jewish establishment. Jesus called them "brood of vipers" and their followers "children of gehenna" (a word for a place of punishment somewhat like "hell").

The spiritual reality behind all the religious stuff is distinctly different from the religion, and it did ultimately lead to a Christian religious establishment that was just as corrupt as the Jewish religious establishment. The spiritual reality is ultimately for the whole world, anyway who has eyes to see and ears to hear (spiritually speaking).

Centuries after Jesus died, the Jews solidified their religion of evil in the Mishnah and the Talmud. Even hundreds of years after the fact, the Jews were speaking evil of Jesus and wrote in their Talmud that he was being boiled alive in human excrement into the distant, unforeseen future.

Paul and the apostles called out the Jews.

Narow_Foe_Minsk

Christianity is a Jewish Semitic poison, infecting and destroying the minds and souls of Nordic Aryans. The removal of Christianity from Europeans is imperative if we are to stop the destruction of our race at the hands of the Jews and their Semitic and African hordes.

Christianity was spread by Jews to accelerate the fall of Rome, and to spread Jewish Semitic values and influence. Christianity is the religion of mongrels, not the racially pure.

"Into this raceless stew which was now Rome came Christianity. Its success is largely to be explained by its concept of a sinful world and redemption through grace, which was its natural compliment. The doctrine of original sin would have been incomprehensible to a people whose racial identity was unadulterated. In such a people there dwells a secure confidence in itself and in its will, which it regards as Destiny. The concept of sin was as alien to the heroes of Homeros as it was to the ancient Indians, the Germans of Tacitus, or the epics and sagas of Dietrich von Bern. An oppressive sense of sin is a sure symptom of racial bastardy. Race pollution shows itself in a number of stigmata; in an absence of clear direction in thought and action; an inner self doubt; the feeling that existence is simply the wages of sin and not the necessary and mysterious imperative of self development. The sense of personal depravity leads to a yearning for grace, and this is the only hope for the products of miscegenation."

...

"The great personality of Jesus Christ, whatever form it might have taken originally, was distorted and confused immediately after his death with all the rubbish of Jewish and African life. In the near east, Rome ruled with great firmness and exacted the taxes efficiently. Accordingly, among their subject populations there arose the desire for a liberator and leader of the slaves; hence the legend of Christos. Beginning in Asia Minor, this Christos myth spread to Palestine, where it became linked with Jewish messianic yearnings, and was finally attached to the personality of Jesus. Besides his own utterances, there were falsely attributed to him the words and doctrines of near eastern prophets and, ironically indeed, in the form of an extension of ancient Aryan moral precepts; for example, the nine commandment table which had already been appropriated by the Jews as their ten prohibitions. In this manner was Galilee joined with the whole near east.

The Christian movement, disrupting old forms, seemed to the Pharisee Saul to hold great promise of practical usefulness. In a sudden decision he joined its ranks and, possessed by an unrestrained fanaticism, he preached international revolution against the Roman empire. In spite of all subsequent attempts at reform, his teachings still remain the Jewish spiritual basis, the Talmudic oriental aspect of both the catholic and the Lutheran churches.

Paul accomplished something which is never admitted in churchly circles. He made the suppressed Jewish national rebellion internationally effective, thus paving the way for the further spread of racial chaos in the ancient world. The Jews in Rome knew very well what they were about when they placed their synagogues at his disposal as places wherein he could make his proselytising speeches.

The fact that Paul, despite occasional criticism of the Jews, knew quite well that he served a Jewish cause is to be seen in several all too candid passages in his letters:

  • ..... Blindness in part is happened to Israel, untilthe fullness of the Gentiles be come in.
  • And so all Israel shall be saved ..... Whose are the fathers ..... Who are the Israelites; to whom pertains the adoption and the glory and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of god, and the promises;
  • ..... and of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came ..... For if you were cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and were grafted contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?

This is identical to the teachings of the modern misbegotten sect of serious bible students.

The Gospel of saint John, which still retains an aristocratic spirit, strove to defend Christianity against this collective bastardisation, orientalisation, and Judaisation. About the year 150, Markion, who was a Greek, once again represented the Nordic idea of a world order based on organic tension and hierarchical structure. This was in direct contrast to the Semitic conception of a capricious god who exercised a boundless despotism. Marcion therefore rejected the old testament as the book of laws of so false a deity. Similar efforts were made by a few of the Gnostics. But Rome, now racially polluted beyond redemption, was utterly committed to Africa and Syria, and smothered the simple essence of Jesus with the accretions of late Roman goals of world empire and ecumenical church."

Going further back, Christianity is a Jewish appropriation, adaptation, and bastardization of ancient Aryan Mythi. This was done deliberately, as we would be more susceptible to their poison if it had a familiar taste to mask the vile toxicity.

"From the sixth century B.C. on, Iran underwent a vast expansion by the Aryan Persians. Under Arshama, there arose one of the greatest personalities of Indoeuropean history, Spitama (Zoroaster, or Zarathustra). Concerned about the fate of the Aryan minority, he developed an idea which is only now beginning to revive in the Nordic west — protecting the race by endogamy within kin. But since the Aryan ruling aristocracy were sparsely scattered, Zoroaster tried to reinforce this imperative by creating an ideologically bound community of faith. Ahura Mazda, the eternal god of light, became a cosmic idea — the divine protector of Aryans everywhere. He had no special abode or temple like the gods of the orient and even of later Rome. He was simply the holy whiteness of perfection. His enemy is the dark Ahriman who is locked in struggle with him for world domination. This is a truly Nordic Aryan concept of Zoroaster. In this struggle, we must fight on the side of Ahura Mazda (just as the Einheriar in Valhalla would fight for Odin against the Fenris Wolf and the Midgard Serpent). Man must not, therefore, withdraw into world renouncing contemplation and asceticism. He must see himself as the struggling bearer of a world preserving idea; he must arouse and arm all the creative powers of the human soul. Whether as a thinker or an active creator, man must always serve what is highest. Wherever he goes, he serves the creative principle —when he sows and reaps; when he is true to himself; when he considers a handshake as an inviolable oath. The Vendidat epitomises all this in the sublime words: Whoever sows grain, sows saintliness.

But struggling man is surrounded by evil and temptation. To be able to oppose these forces successfully, Zoroaster invokes the Aryan blood which calls upon every Persian to serve the god of light. After death, good and evil are separated forever. In a final struggle, Ahura Mazda defeats Ahriman and constructs his kingdom of peace. For a time, the Persians derived great strength from this splendid religious epic. But in spite of such an heroic attempt, the dilution of Aryan blood in Asia could not be stemmed, and the great kingdom of the Persians declined. Yet the spirit of Zoroaster and his Myth continued to influence the greater world. The Jews adopted Ahriman as Satan, and evolved their own entirely artificial system of racial admixture out of a Persian system devised to preserve racial purity. This was combined with an obligation ridden religious law which was, of course, wholly Jewish. The Christian church appropriated the Persian idea of a saviour as a prince of peace — the Çaoshiahç, although adulterated with the Jewish idea of a messiah. Today, in the heart of northern Europe, there has awakened to heightened consciousness the same racial soul idea which was taught by Zoroaster. Nordic self awareness and Nordic racial discipline are the answer today to the Levantine east, which has diffused itself throughout Europe in the form of Jewry and varieties of faceless ecumenicalism."

"Jews" are not the same as those of the Old Testament. Dr. Eran Elhaik ("a Jew") got his study published. https://academic.oup.com/gbe/article/5/1/61/728117 . If you'd dont like or follow Christianity, fine but continuing to equate Old Testament Israelites to modern "jews" is simply not true. Edit punctuation.

Anti_Idle

Found the jew.

GIIOST

Christianity IS NOT JEWISH. if you were an educated Christian. (like myself) you'd know this. Jesus was jew youl say. LOL JESUS WAS A CHRISTRIAN! he was BORN a virgin birth! the Dad is GOD! is GOD a jew lol. JESUS was vessel for GOD to experience his creation. JESUS = GOD = Holy Spirit (binds EVERYTHING together) So no Jesus wasn't a jew. And Jesus didn't like what the jews were doing. Thats why the jews didn't like Jesus. He proclaimed he was God's son. He was GOD! is GOD! God is so much more than we can wrap our heads around.

Nadeshda

So the scripture verses to support these claims is where exactly? Genuinely wanting to see/read the supporting verses to this please. Thanks

mattsixteen24

Common misinterpreted scripture and falsehoods. Judaism of the Old Testament is not the same as Talmudic Judaism. Judaism was fulfilled with Christ. There is no jewish religion anymore. The bible never says all races are equal. The bible does say all men can be saved. The bible isn't promoting miscegenation. The Jews were God's chosen people. Christians are God's chosen people. Communism is an enemy of the church and it's wrong to believe in the globalist agenda of open borders. Only those attached to sin are enslaved. This life is a trial and very short. Eternity is forever.

[9] Behold, I will bring of the synagogue of Satan, who say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie. Behold, I will make them to come and adore before thy feet. And they shall know that I have loved thee. [Apocalypse (Revelation) 3:9]

The two bottom named rows are all related to the new testament and Christianity and are also Jewish--both ethnically and at the time of their appearance in the text the majority of their life had been as religious Jews.

Hmmm, I've heard the interpretation that the New Testament is all about God's anger towards the Jews, how he is getting fed up with these people, and how the Jews still refuse to accept God. Am I wrong about this?

Workman

No, you're not wrong. The second half of the Old Testament is that too. Hell, even in the Torah God nearly wipes out the kikes multiple times because they can't stop being kikes for two minutes.

ardvarcus

The New Testament, which is the Christian bible, was written by Christians -- all of it. The Old Testament is a legacy which Christians left behind them when they accepted the teachings of Jesus Christ. Jesus not only rejected the Jews, he was tortured and murdered by the Jews, and to the present day Jews still hate Christians and still revile Jesus. They wouldn't do this is he were one of their own, would they? The notion that Christianity is Jewish in any way is false -- it is a rejection and a repudiation of Judaism.

RockmanRaiden

Agreed. Much of what this meme says is bullshit as well. Counting on people to never pick up and read a bible. Jesus chased the bankers out of the temples with a whip, flipping over tables. That's a good role model.

It's just a split in the religion. Christianty is just a sect of Judaism. You agree on everything up until Jesus, at which point you split. Everything prior to that is shared by both. Just like Islam. It's all the same shitty desert religion.

It's almost as if jews like to play both sides and are willing to sacrifice their own once in a while. Look at what upper hand christianity has given them now; a bunch of meek, brainwashed whites who will accept lifelong serfdom and the destruction of their race so long as they get into "heaven" afterwards.

Judaism was already a fucking mess by the time of jesus, massive theological divergences between groups of jews, to the point that you could barely say it's the same cult

Sadducees didn't believe in after life and the talmud, pharisees believed in reincarnation and the talmud. Like night and day. Pharisees were the vast majority, sadducees were the priest class/aristocrats, they went extinct and what you have now as judaism is a legacy of the "pharisees populist party" basically

Genuine question. What makes Christianity NOT a sect of Judaism? I agree you aren't orthodox jews, but Christians are all believers of Judaism. Do you believe Abraham made a covenant with Yahweh? Isn't the only real point of contention whether or not Jesus was the Jewish Messiah or not? Christians believe he was, and traditional Jews believe he wasn't, up to the point of actively engineering his death? We can at least agrer that Jesus was a Jew, right?

goatsandbros

Look up what modern Jews believe (the Talmud). Even Jesus hated that evil shit, which promoted pedophilia and murder.

The Jew today isn't even what abrahamic jews were.

MinorLeakage

I completely agree with you. I don't mean to suggest Christians are modern Jews. I'm suggesting something more along the lines of how Catholics and Protestants split, but use the same texts. Christians and Jews still share some historical texts, they just interpret them opposite ways.

goatsandbros

That might be so, regarding interpretation, but the Talmud takes things to an entirely different place. It really is the definition between Judean and Israelite - the latter being essentially satanists, and representing most modern European jews. Christianity and non-Talmudic Jewish religion are closer together than are either and Talmudic jews.

Tallest_Skil

how is something that rejects judaism not part of judaism

It is a mystery. Read the New Testament and you’ll figure it out. Hell, just Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.

MinorLeakage

Not modern Jewish, but where is the rejection of Abraham and Moses and Noah? It's just a split. They were the same up until 2000 years ago. Right?

EDIT: for the record, I have read the entire New and Old Testaments, and I probably agree with you on 99% of what you're saying. I just think it's still a sect of the same religion.

Tallest_Skil

Sorry, I edited, too; you might have missed the list.

Jews hold no power of their own. They never have. Only the power they gain through subversion.

They are historically. Weak people. They held some land for the briefest of times. Eaked out an existance as swindlers and nomads. Until given power by foolish idealistic christians who thought they could rise above Usury simply by outlawing it. Much like drugs, or sex or other VICES. When made illegal instead of unnecessary only become far worse than left in their debased natural state.

Now, foolish liberal christians thinking they could solve vice through law. Handed the keys to mankinds fate to a bunch of swindling bastards.

Of course really... Considering the first half of their fucking biblical texts were written by jews. Not to far fetched to believe that was orchestrated.

The first usury laws of the christian church where probably whispered by a jew.

But because you are weak and fear death...You happily cut your children so as to appease a god you've never spoken to. Never seen. Never felt. So you can live a lie.

I have a slightly different perspective on the "power of jews"

"Back in the days", when they were deemed too much of a threat by TPTB, they were expelled, physically removed from society, happened a couple of times especially in europe

https://www.biblebelievers.org.au/expelled.htm

Inquisition too, was mostly centered around the problem of "conversos"/fake christian converts https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Converso

So, in my perspective it's not the medieval christians who gave power to the jews, as a matter of fact until rather recently they were mostly pariahs https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Luther_and_antisemitism#Evolution_of_his_views

...

The power jews, as a whole, have today, is mostly an american story, it's their alliance with modern evangelical christians that truly gave them the "keys of the city", and they (evangelical leaders) did so for questionable prophetic reasons, allegedly http://archive.is/P5Xza#selection-411.0-411.777

During the spanish inquisition the deal was quite clear, either you convert to catholicism or raus, no tolerance toward traitors

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slavery_in_Spain search for the word jew to get an idea

Protestants, to this day, in europe have often sided with jews, against the papacy. Jews, free masons, protestants all banded together to bring down catholicism

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historical_revision_of_the_Inquisition

For a long time, the Spanish Inquisition had been associated principally with persecution of Protestants. Nineteenth-century historian José Amador de los Ríos brought a focus to bear on the situation of Spain's large converso population.[3]

The two most significant and extensively-cited sources of this revised analysis of the historiography of the inquisitorial proceedings are Inquisition (1988) by Edward Peters and The Spanish Inquisition: An Historical Revision (1997) by Henry Kamen. These works focus on identifying and correcting what they argue are popular modern misconceptions about the inquisitions and historical misinterpretations of their activities. Kamen's 1997 book is updated and revised from an edition first published in 1965. Kamen takes the position that the Inquisition in Spain was motivated more by political considerations than religious, that the monarchs routinely protected those close to the crown, and that in Aragon large areas either defied or hindered its operation.[5] Eric Rust of Baylor University describes Kamen's work as "historical revision at its best".[5]

Helen Rawlings credits Kamen with launching a movement to revisit the historical record.[2] Rawlings identifies four distinct phases, as over time the Inquisition in Spain adapted to changing conditions. From 1480 to 1525 there was an intense persecution of conversos suspected of continuing to practice Judaism. From 1525 to 1630 there was an increased concern of possible Protestant influence on "Old Christians". A less active period from 1630 to 1725 periodically looked to Portuguese "New Christians" operating in Spanish commercial sectors; and from 1725 to 1824 traditionalists and liberals argued the future of the institution.[6]
