What is the relationship between the Torah, the Talmud, and the Kabbalah?
The
Torah is our beloved Pentateuch, the five books of Moses. These are the
first five Books of the Old Testament in the Bible. This is all God gave to
Moses.
Supposedly, during Moses 40-days on Mount Sinai, God gave him more than the Law, explaining what everything meant to Moses. These explanations are what we call “the oral tradition” or “Mishna.” Nothing was written down until after the destruction of the second temple in 586 B.C. by Babylon.
Soon thereafter Jewish scholars allegedly wrote a more comprehensive explanation of the Mishna, called the Talmud. This claim is an obvious intellectual fraud. Have you ever read the Talmud? The Talmud is evil, teaching that Jesus was a bastard, the son of a Roman soldier. The Talmud also claims that Jesus was boiled in urine and dung, sent to Hell forever. This is from God? Oral tradition from God? The Talmud is Satanic! Jewish Rabbis today are ministers of unrighteousness! The Talmud spews hatred and blasphemy against God. How dare anyone claim that God gave this crap to Moses! God gave the Law to Moses, and that's it! God did NOT give any oral tradition to Moses on Mount Sinai. The Talmud is of the Devil.
God did not give Moses an oral tradition subjective to man's opinions and error over the centuries. If you want to trace The Talmud and the philosophies of Kaballa back to the point of origin, then you will find Satan, for God did not author anything other than the Bible. NO oral tradition came from Moses. Anyone who claims that God gave oral traditions to Moses are lying!!! We know this to be true because the Bible shuns the oral traditions of men. Mark 7:9 and 13, “Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition. ... Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.” I feel sorry for people who only view the Bible as someone's opinion. The Bible does not contain the Words of God; it is the Word of God! Every Word of the King James Bible is inspired. We have God's Word today!
Heathen Jewish scholars claim that Kabbalah is also part of the Oral law. It is the traditional mystical understanding of the Torah. Kabbalah allegedly stresses the reasons and understanding of the commandments, and the cause of events described in the Torah. Kabbalah supposedly includes the understanding of the spiritual spheres in creation, and the rules and ways by which God administers the existence of the universe. The truth is that Kaballa makes no sense at all. It's a bunch of obscure and confusing drawings and strange things. Kaballa is utter nonsense, that what it is. There is nothing to interpret nor understand. Kaballa was meant to deceive people, supposedly containing great wisdom, when in reality it is on the same plain as tarot cards and crystal balls. Kaballa is synonymous with doctrines of devils.
Kaballa rests in non-verifiable philosophy, so it is difficult to refute. However, Biblically we know that God speaks to us through the Word of God and NOT Kabbala. Jesus taught us to SEARCH THE SCRIPTURES. John 5:39-40, “ Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.” Kaballa will lead you away and contrary to the Words of God!!!
Kaballa is based upon the idea that there are secret and hidden meanings in the biblical text that can be discovered by examining the shape of Hebrew letters, the gematria of words (mathematical values), and how these word values relate to each other. Thus, Kaballa is totally unbiblical in nature. The Bible teaches that God speaks to us today through the Scriptures, that is, the Son of God (the living Word). Hebrews 1:1-2, “God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds.”
Research and you will find that I
speak the truth. The Talmud is evil, teaching that Jesus was a bastard, the
son of a Roman soldier. The Talmud also claims that Jesus was boiled in
urine and dung, sent to Hell forever. What a blasphemous book!!! This is the
religious book of books revered by unbelieving Jews today. Lest you think
that I'm exaggerating, consider that hardened and unbelieving Jews are
spitting on Christian tourists throughout Jerusalem today.
Christians In Jerusalem Want Jews To Stop Spitting On Them (literally).
The Kabbalah is Man's Tradition, NOT God's Word.
The following information is from WIKIPEDIA.com...
"Kabbalah (Hebrew קַבָּלָה "reception", Standard Hebrew Qabbala, Tiberian Hebrew Qabbālāh; also written variously as Cabala, Cabalah, Cabbala, Cabbalah, Kabala, Kabalah, Kabbala, Qabala, Qabalah, Kaballah) is an interpretation (exegesis, hermeneutic) key, "soul" of the Torah (Hebrew Bible), or the religious mystical system of Judaism claiming an insight into divine nature.
Kabbalah became a reference to doctrines of esoteric knowledge concerning God, God's creation of the universe and the laws of nature, and the path by which adult religious Jews can learn these secrets. Originally, however, the term Kabbalah was used in Talmudic texts, among the Geonim, and by early Rishonim as a reference to the full body of publically available Jewish teaching. In this sense Kabbalah was used in referring to all of known Oral Law.
Kabbalah, according to the more recent use of the word, stresses the reasons and understanding of the commandments in the Torah, and the cause of events described in the Torah. Kabbalah includes the understanding of the spiritual spheres of creation, and the ways by which God administers the existence of the universe.
According to Jewish tradition dating from the 13th century, this knowledge has come down as a revelation to elect saints from a remote past, and preserved only by a privileged few. It is considered part of the Jewish Oral Law by the majority of religious Jews in modern times, although this was not agreed upon by many medieval Talmudic scholars, as well as a minority of current Orthodox rabbis." -SOURCE
The Word of God, the Bible, teaches that "Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation" (2nd Peter 1:20). In the above information we read, "According to Jewish tradition dating from the 13th century, this knowledge has come down as a revelation to elect saints from a remote past, and preserved only by a privileged few." How arrogant! God said in His Word that no portion of Scripture was of any "private" interpretation. In other words, ANYONE can understand the Bible, the Truth of God. Kabbalists would lead us to believe that it is the Jewish Rabbis who are the experts on the knowledge of God; on the contrary, they are haters of God.
Jesus condemned such religious phonies in Mark 7:7-13. Jesus said in Mark 7:7, "Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men." Again in Mark 7:13 we read, "Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered..." Clearly, man's tradition are opposed to the incorruptible Word of God. Kaballah is Satanic because it blinds people from the Truth of the Gospel of Jesus Christ (2nd Corinthians 4:4). Romans 1:16 declares that the Gospel is the POWER OF GOD unto salvation. The only way to become a born again Christian is through the Gospel (the good news) of Christ's death, burial, and resurrection. It is the precious blood of Jesus Christ that saves us; NOT tradition.
Kabbalah Worships a False God
The following information is from WIKIPEDIA.com...
"Kabbalah (Jewish mysticism) teaches that God is neither matter nor spirit. Rather God is the creator of both, but is himself neither. But if God is so different than his creation, how can there be any interaction between the Creator and the created? This question prompted Kabbalists to envision two aspects of God, (a) God himself, who in the end is unknowable, and (b) the revealed aspect of God who created the universe, preserves the universe, and interacts with mankind. Kabbalists believe that these two aspects are not contradictory but complement one another. See Divine simplicity; Tzimtzum.
Some Kabbalistic scholars, such as Moses ben Jacob Cordovero and Schneur Zalman of Liadi (founder of Lubavitch (Chabad) Hasidism), hold that the first aspect of God is all that there really exists; all else is completely nullified to God and therefore an illusion. Depending on how this is explained, such a view can result in panentheism, or pantheism. However, most other Jews who believe in Kabbalah hold that there is an aspect of God that is revealed to the world.
Kabbalists speak of the first aspect of God as Ein Sof (אין סוף); this is translated as "the infinite", "endless", or "that which has no limits". In this view, nothing can be said about this aspect of God. This aspect of God is impersonal." -SOURCE
The Word of God declares that "God is a Spirit" (John 4:24); but, Jewish mysticism (Kabbalah) teaches that God is neither matter nor Spirit. We read in John 4:24, "God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth." Kabbalah is a Satanic religion which worships a false god.
The Damnable Traditions of the Torah
"The word 'Torah' is a tricky one, because it can mean different things in different contexts. In its most limited sense, 'Torah' refers to the Five Books of Moses: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy. But the word 'torah' can also be used to refer to the entire Jewish bible (the body of scripture known to non-Jews as the Old Testament and to Jews as the Tanakh or Written Torah), or in its broadest sense, to the whole body of Jewish law and teachings. To Jews, there is no 'Old Testament.' The books that Christians call the New Testament are not part of Jewish scripture. The so-called Old Testament is known to us as Written Torah or the Tanakh." -SOURCE
"There are times when the word "Torah" will be used to cover the whole, huge body of Jewish teaching - both written and oral. That includes the Tanach, the Mishna, the Talmud and many other works - all studied without stop throughout the generations until this very day." -SOURCE
Now, certainly the Books of Moses are inspired and are of God; but, the written and oral TRADITIONS of the Torah are not. According to Rabbi Boruch Clinton, who teaches at the Ottawa Torah Institute...
"...it wouldn't have made any sense for the Author of the Five Books to have left us nothing more than tantalizing hints we still would have no idea what to do. So, either the Torah was written by an idiot (or a relatively clueless 'redactor' according to modern theorists) who just never thought things through enough to tell us what to put into our Tefillin... or there must be an instruction manual somewhere that came in the same package. We call this "instruction manual" the Oral law. -SOURCE
Rabbi Clinton is referring to the first five Books of the Old Testament. What a sinful statement he makes about God. This arrogant Rabbi refers to God as an "idiot," if the oral traditions are not accepted as inspired. How wicked! I've never had any problem understanding the Pentateuch, when compared with the rest of the Word of God. The Jews rebelliously reject the New Testament, and then wonder why they can't understand the Law. Rabbi Clinton teaches that the Pentateuch is insufficient by Itself. Well of course it is, you need the entire Bible (which they reject).
If the Torah is so important, then why doesn't the Bible ever mention it? These arrogant Jewish teachers actually teach that God gave Moses "hidden information" that was never written down. Such nonsense is nowhere taught in the Bible. On the contrary, we read in "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness." (2nd Timothy 3:16).
Read here the thirteen foundations of Jewish belief--NOT one mention is made of the Messiah, Jesus Christ, and the blood which He shed to take away our sins. The Jews arrogantly ignore Christ, thinking they are above Gods command for all men to believe upon the Lord Jesus Christ, "In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ." Every Jew who rejects Christ as personal Savior will burn in the Lake of Fire one day. No unsaved Jew will ever enter into Heaven; and no saved Gentile will ever go to Hell. The Torah, Kaballah, and Judaism are completely void of Jesus Christ.
"The Zohar (Hebrew זהר "Splendor, radiance") is widely considered the most important work of Kabbalah, Jewish mysticism. It is a mystical commentary on the Torah (the five books of Moses), written in medieval Aramaic and medieval Hebrew. It contains a mystical discussion of the nature of God, the origin and structure of the universe, the nature of souls, sin, redemption, good and evil, and related topics." -SOURCE
The Hidden Agenda of the Kabbalah
"Most people do not Knowingly go towards Lucifer (who is appropriately called Satan). So those who end up worshipping Lucifer essentially have to be tricked into doing this. Theosophy spends a great deal of time with the Kabbalah (caballa/quabalah), because the books of the Kabbalah pretend to be about Jewish History. The premise of those who study the Kabbalah is that they are reading an ancient series of books, usually containing HIDDEN knowledge about the Bible, and about the Universe.
The problem is - that is not ACTUALLY what the Kabbalah is doing. The system of the Kabbalah claims to be based on Jewish Mysticism. But we have to look at that claim very closely. Some people who hear the term "Jewish Mysticism" think that this applies to Jewish Spirituality that is derived FROM the Old Testament, from the Bible. That is NOT true ! It is confusing because books About the Kabbalah are written in a style which is confusing, designed to lead readers to think that they are studying DEEP things, when the only event that is truly taking place - is that readers [of books about the Kabbalah] are being deceived.
The Kabbalah is based on a series of Visions delivered to a person in a Trance. To Christians, THAT should be raising alarm bells. The Kabbalah is based on a series of books, that are called THE ZOHAR. This is usually published in 4 to 6 volumes. It claims to be a revelation from the God of the Old Testament. The implications are immense ! According to those involved in the Kabbalah (and there are many), the Zohar is essentially A commentary on the Old Testament, but it was written by people who are clearly SPIRITUALISTS: A Spiritualist is a person who consults the dead, and who consults familiar spirits. In other words, the Zohar - which is what the Kabbalah is based on - is actually a work of the Occult.
The Zohar is not even OLD. That may be very disappointing to those who are Jewish. But the Zohar did NOT exist before the Middle Ages. It claims to be authentic, but it is not. There has never been any copy of the Zohar ever found, that is earlier than the Middle Ages. The Zohar is a counterfeit book, a book that was written in Medieval Europe, so that some people would FEEL closer to God. Only the way that the author of the Zohar was getting close "to God" is by going into a trance and writing things - without knowledge of what their hand was writing.
This is called "Automated Writing". This phenomena does not happen by itself. It is not a normal force of nature. It cannot happen - in fact - until a spiritual entity possesses the Body of a human being, takes over their body, and begins to write through them. The Bible has a term for that: IT is called "demonic possession"!
That is the true origin of the Zohar AND the Kabbalah.
The Authors of the Kabbalah are themselves Occult Authors. The Kabbalah was Not translated for English Speaking audiences until the late 1800s. And who translated it ? Were they Godly men who had a passion to save others, and show them that the real way to Eternal Life is by the shed blood, sacrifice and resurrection of Jesus Christ, who truly came to Earth to save those who accept to believe in Him? No, Not at all. Those who translated the Kabbalah were Occult authors who were steeped in Demonic Worship and Demonic books - They were writing them !
It is NOT hard to learn who the authors of the Kabbalah were. We know. They are mainly:
1. Eliphas Levi
2. MacGregor Mathers
3. H.P. Blavatsky
4. A.E. Waite
These are the main authors of books about the Kabbalah.
Eliphas Levi is the author who led the Occult Revival of the 1800s, that revived Satanism and Luciferianism. He wrote many books about Ritual Black Magic and how to have contact with Demonic Spirits...because he was seeking them.
MacGregor Mathers goes by several names. He is one of the Three founders of the Occult Society - known as the society of the Golden Dawn. This is a demonic society, not because we say so, but because THEY say so. This is one of the occult societies that covets demonic possession. Christians would consider their teachings to be Satanic. MacGregor Mathers is also one of the mentors of the Great Satanist Aleister Crowley. The first Translation of the Kabbalah into English was by MacGregor Mathers. (He lived in the U.K. for most of his life, where he recruited a lot of the elites into his occult Golden Dawn society).
H.P. Blavatsky is the founder of Theosophy. This is the view that Lucifer is truly an angel of light and he is the one who deserves our worship and allegiance. Blavatsky came from an occult family, and was already a Medium when she was a teenager. She sought out evil and the company of demonic spirits all of her life. She wrote many books about the occult. She believed that the Jews - through books like the Kabbalah - had stolen books of black magic that had previously come from the Chaldeans. She denied that Jesus was the Christ. She also denied that salvation could come through Jesus Christ. She remained extremely hostile to Jehovah/Yahweh - the God of the Jews.
A.E. Waite is an occult author. He played a large role in helping many occult authors in the early 1900s. He was involved in Many occult societies including the Golden Dawn.
All of these authors are devoted to the Kabbalah and other forms of the Occult. These authors deliberately sought to be involved with demonic spirits.
Surely the Real God of the Universe has better ways of dealing with mankind, than to operate through those who consciously willfully oppose the Bible and the teachings of Salvation by Faith alone in Christ Jesus. The Zohar is a book that claims to have been written by forces, which can only be identified as Demonic.
This kind of material is Exactly what the Bible commands us to stay away from. Those who have been involved in the Study of the Kabbalah would do well to ask God to forgive them of their involvement in it, and to open their eyes and help them to return to the God of the Bible.
The God of the Kabbalah and the God of the Bible are 100% in Opposition to each other. They cannot both be right. Christians know that the God of the Bible Is the one true God. Anyone is entitled to their views, and to their choice of what to believe. But as far as what Christians believe, the God of the Bible can be found, by reading the Bible (such as the gospel of John in the New Testament), Not by reading occult material such as the Kabbalah.
Christians and others should maintain a strong vigilance against being deceived."
