Why Biblical Judaism?
Judaism a religion referred to as the religion of the Jews which takes on many forms. Its forms can be compared to denominations in Christianity. Christianity’s roots began as a Judaism. Both Christianity and Judaism have several things in common; A Monotheistic belief in One (echad) true God, our heritage goes back to our Father Abraham who was promised children (a heritage) that would number if you could the stars in the heavens or the sand on the sea shore. Along with the promise of children through his Seed the nations of the earth would be blessed. This Seed was the promised Messiah the one who would come and bruise the head of the serpent! The One that would undo what the serpent did in the garden.
But Judaism just like Christianity took a diversion from the Torah. Torah being defined as God’s instructions. These instructions span the TaNaKH commonly referred to as the Hebrew Scriptures or Old Testament and the Messianic Writings also commonly referred to as the Brit Chadashah or New Testament.
God’s Word, the Holy Scriptures, the Torah was not perfect in the eyes of men. They disregarded God’s warnings:
De 4:2 Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you.
De 12:32 What thing soever I command you, observe to do it: thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it.
They replaced God’s instructions with man-made traditions, man-made laws and created man-made commentaries changing the true meaning of His Word.
Biblical Judaism is the Judaism of the Bible, the Holy Scriptures. It is a return to the Ancient paths, the old ways. It is returning to an understanding of God’s instructions interpreted from God’s very Word.
Deut. 30:15 ¶ See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil; 16 In that I command thee this day to love the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his judgments, that thou mayest live and multiply: and the LORD thy God shall bless thee in the land whither thou goest to possess it. 17 But if thine heart turn away, so that thou wilt not hear, but shalt be drawn away, and worship other gods, and serve them; 18 I denounce unto you this day, that ye shall surely perish, and that ye shall not prolong your days upon the land, whither thou passest over Jordan to go to possess it. 19 I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live: 20 That thou mayest love the LORD thy God, and that thou mayest obey his voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto him: for he is thy life, and the length of thy days: that thou mayest dwell in the land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.
God is calling us back to a Biblical Judaism with the call He sets before us a choice. The Almighty is pleading with you today! Choose Life! Return! Repent! Teshuvah!
