The reason why I have not included modern Judaism in this
same category, is quite simply because it is not based upon
the Old Testament Scriptures as Christians have erroneously
been led to believe, but rather upon the twisted, corrupted
teachings of the rabbis of the Babylonian Talmud; many of
which teachings are clearly against the teachings of Moses,
and even against the teachings of Christ. In fact, some of
the more secretive contents of the Talmud, such as condoning
sex between men and boys, is downright disgusting. Please
refer to my four-part series "The International Jew And The
Protocols Of Zion" for more details, as well as to other
documents that are found on our Endtime Prophecy net site.

Now, allow me to ask you a simple question: What if man's
laws are slowly and subtly changed, so that portions of the
Mosaic Law, particularly those laws which deal with moral and
sexual conduct, are deemed ineffective, and are viewed as
being outdated, old-fashioned, and in fact contrary to modern
laws and social attitudes by certain sectors of our society?
What would the end result be? If you think that this cannot
possibly happen, I urge you to think again. Not only can it
happen, but unless you have been asleep for the past three
decades, and particularly during the past three years, you
will already know that it is in fact happening right now;
just as the very same thing happened several thousand years
ago when the spiritual leadership of Israel neutralized the
true Laws of God through their own ritualistic practices and
traditions. As I point out in other articles, it is because
Jesus exposed these things, that the proud, self-righteous
Scribes and Pharisees hated Him so, and sought for a way to
kill Him. Consider the following verses:

"But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also
transgress the commandment of God by your tradition? For God
commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and, He
that curseth father or mother, let him die the death. But ye
say, Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother, It is
a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; And
honour not his father or his mother, he shall be free. Thus
have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your
tradition."
Matthew 15:3-6, KJV

"Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines
the commandments of men. For laying aside the commandment of
God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots
and cups: and many other such like things ye do. And he said
unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that
ye may keep your own tradition. For Moses said, Honour thy
father and thy mother; and, Whoso curseth father or mother,
let him die the death: But ye say, If a man shall say to his
father or mother, It is Corban, that is to say, a gift, by
whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; he shall be
free. And ye suffer him no more to do ought for his father
or his mother; Making the word of God of none effect through
your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like
things do ye."
Mark 7:7-13, KJV

"After these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would
not walk in Jewry, because the Jews sought to kill him."
John 7:1, KJV

So you see, the basic attitude of those religious leaders
was "We don't want to do things God's way; we want to do
them OUR way. Our laws are more up-to-date, and better than
the Mosaic Law". Please don't forget that roughly fifteen
hundred years had passed from the time that Moses received
the Commandments on Sinai, to the time of Christ. That gave
the corrupt leadership plenty of time, and plenty of oppor-
tunity, to begin twisting and changing what they did not
like; and as I point out in such series as "The Fruits Of
Disobedience", their rebellion began long before the time of
Christ; and that is why God was constantly chastising them.
Allow me to remind you again of the words of the Prophet
Jeremiah, written some six hundred years before the arrival
of the Messiah:

"The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by
their means; and my people love to have it so: and what will
ye do in the end thereof?"
Jeremiah 5:31, KJV

Notice that the Lord specifically tells us by way of the
Prophet Jeremiah, that "my people love to have it so". In
other words, the people of ancient Israel openly supported
the corrupt rule and practices of their false prophets and
priests. They were partners in sin. They each looked the
other way in regards to each other's rebellion against God.
In the case of the people, this included sacrificing their
very own sons and daughters to the false pagan gods of the
nations which surrounded them. Child sacrifice was just as
common then, as abortion is today. There is really not much
of a difference being as both practices were, and still are,
motivated by selfishness. Please refer to my lengthy series
"Abortion: The Slaughter Of The Innocent" for more details.
At any rate, this relationship of convenience between the
corrupt spiritual leaders of Israel, and their followers, is
very similar to a warning that the Apostle Paul issued in
his second Epistle to Timothy many centuries later, as we
see here:

"For the time will come when they will not endure sound
doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to
themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall
turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned
unto fables."
2 Timothy 4:3-4, KJV

In other words, Paul is saying that a dark time would come
which would be marked by many false prophets and teachers,
who would teach exactly what the people want to hear; just
like the ancient Israelites; even if what they are teaching
and preaching is false. Can any sincere, Bible-believing
Christian deny that these very things are happening in our
current day? It is very obvious that the rebellious attitude
towards God's Law which existed thousands of years ago, is
still very much present in our modern day as well. Some two
thousand years have passed since the days when Jesus walked
the Earth, and the enemies of God continue to corrupt and
distort what portions of the Mosaic Law remain embedded in
man's modern laws.

In "Homosexuality And Lesbianism: To The Point!", I mention
the fact that not only do some members of the modern clergy
openly support gay and lesbian rights, but some of them are
in fact gays and lesbians themselves. To make matters worse,
because of the strong delusion under which they have fallen,
because of their rejection of the truth, in recent years,
some of these liberal clergy have begun to pronounce their
blessings upon these unholy unions. What blasphemy against
the true Law of God! What God views as an abomination; what
He has cursed according to His Law; and what He considers
worthy of death; these false shepherds have turned around
and blessed! By their actions, these deceivers are saying
that contrary to what is clearly written in the Scriptures,
sin is no longer a sin. How can these wolves go unpunished?
I am again reminded of the words of the Prophet Isaiah, as
well as of another warning the Apostle Paul issued in the
Book of Acts. Consider the following:

"Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put
darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter
for sweet, and sweet for bitter!"
Isaiah 5:20, KJV

"For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous
wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock."
Acts 20:29, KJV

As I explain in other articles where I discuss the Mosaic
Law, while the Apostle Paul was referring to the legalistic
Jews who crept into the congregations of the First Century
Disciples, pretending to be true brethren, in order to try
to bring them back under the bondage of the Mosaic Law, as
opposed to faith only in Christ for their Salvation, how
much more does Paul's warning apply to our modern day, in
which the truth has truly been trampled underfoot, even by
those who claim to be God's representatives? These false
shepherds would have their flocks to believe that God will
simply overlook their lives of sin and perverted sex, which
are an abomination in His sight, because they claim to love
Him. How can they claim to love Him, or to be obedient to
His Will, when they openly refuse to obey His Word which
clearly condemns their lifestyle? As Jesus Himself said:

"If ye love me, keep my commandments."
John 14:15, KJV

"If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them."
John 13:17, KJV

In the eighth chapter of the Gospel of John, when the woman
who was caught in adultery was brought before Jesus by His
religious enemies, how did the Lord respond to their words?
Following His famous utterance of "He that is without sin
among you, let him first cast a stone at her", after which
the woman's accusers dispersed, the Lord said to the woman:

". . . Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more."
John 8:11b, KJV
