I have received a lot of outraged comments for my statement that Orthodox Judaism is at its core just a type of “anti-Christianity”. My critiques informed me of the fact that since Judaism was older than Christianity, it could hardly have been an anti-Christianity. Here are some samples of these comments:
Well, the first cannot possibly be true as Judaism existed well over thousand years prior, and ever since was an introverted worldview. (If you don’t know much about it, no need to put such sort of labels. Everybody has a right to preach his own religion, not just the Orthodox Christians).
Surely you’re aware that Judaism is MUCH older than Christianity, Saker? However some of them may feel towards the goyim, I think there’s a good bit more to their religion than mere anti-Christian animosity.WTF!? and with that the fools and naive can point and chant “anti-semite” – and could you blame them? Well yes you could, but still. That one sentence pollutes any nuance, any thoughtful analysis, any factual argument saker makes. Shame saker is turning out to be a religious zealot – or at least an anti-jewish one.
Sigh…
As is so often the case, modern propaganda works by a mix of ignorance and learned assumptions. You could say that this is a case of “unknown unknowns” to paraphrase Rumsfeld. This is case, all the self-righteous outrage above is based on a very simple fallacy: the assumption that what we call “Judaism” today is the religion of the Jews before, or until, the times of Christ. This assumption is completely wrong.
What we call “Judaism” today is basically the continuation of one of the many Jewish sects which existed at the time of Christ: the famous sect of the Pharisees. Specifically, it is the continuation of that part of the sect of the Pharisees which did not accept Christ (others did, Saint Paul was a Pharsisee and so what is immensely famous teacher, Saint Gamaliel the Elder). Besides being intellectually very sophisticated, one of the unique features of the Pharisees was that they met in “assemblies” to read the Scripture and worship. The word “assembly” in Greek (which was the lingua franca of the time) is συναγωγή “sinagoge” – or “synagogue” in modern English. When the Temple in Jerusalem was destroyed by the Legions of the Roman Emperor Titus in 70AD the Pharisees were the only ones that had a ready structure which could be used in the absence of the Temple, the synagogue.
Please keep in mind that as such there were no “rabbis”, at least not as an institution, before 70AD. There were priests and teachers and some teachers were addressed as ‘rabbi’, but ‘rabbinical Judaism’ (which what modern ‘Judaism’ really is did not exist at that time).
The other crucial feature of the Pharisees was that they (correctly) believed that not all of the teachings of God had been written down and that Oral Tradition was as important as the written one. Other Jewish sects, just like modern day Protestant denominations, insisted that sola scriptura.
There is no overstating the catastrophic importance of destruction of the Temple in 70 AD. Not only did it take away the place of worship around which the lives of all the Jews of the entire Middle-East centered at the time, but it also destroyed the building in which the Messiah had been predicted to come to preach and it happened at the time predicted by the Prophet Daniel. For those Jews who did not accept Christ, this was very, very bad news indeed. Something needed to be done urgently, and indeed it was. Here are the main axes this “response” took:
1) Under the pretext of correction and standardization the various Holy Books which we today think of as the “Old Testament” were expunged from the most evident passages which were referring to Christ. The Book of Psalms was especially butchered. A “new old Testament” of sorts was created by a group of scholars called the Masoretes who produced a fraud, a re-worked collection of texts we nowadays call the Masoretic Text of the Bible purged from all the key references to Christ (the *real* original text of the books of what we call today the Old Testament has not been preserved in Hebrew, but it exists in translations made from Hebrew into the Greek in the late 2nd century BC by 72 scholars working for Ptolemy Philadelphius, hence the translation is called the Septuaginta or simply LXX).
2) A new class of teachers tasked with the “correct” interpretation of the written and oral traditions emerged, the rabbis. Their main task was the “explain” what had happened in 70AD and what that mean for the Jewish people.
3) A “new old Oral Tradition” was created and this time it was put in paper. This is what eventually became known as the Talmud (of which there are two, but nevermind that), the anti-Christian book par excellence.
4) Exactly in accordance with the words of Christ and the Apostles Paul and John the Evangelist, Devil-worship and black magic also soon were integrated into the “new old” corpus of traditions and this is the basis of what today is called the Kabbalah.
5) Finally, and logically, the focus of worship turned from a worship of God to self-worship. In this recent addition, it is the entire Jewish people which are the innocent and suffering Messiah and the so-called “Holocaust” is that mystical sacrifice from which the salvation of the world will come. In this latest school of thought, the Jews are collectively called to “fix/repair” the world, to do the work of the Messiah.
Okay, now before there is the usual tsunami of outraged comments spiced up with the usual accusations of anti-Semitism and the rest of the inevitable nonsense, let me tell you immediately that I have no intention at all to prove any of the above. I simply have no time for that. If you are interested, you can easily find all this information online, from books written by anti-Judaic scholars like Michael Hoffman to books written by authoritative Jewish scholars like Jacob Neusner. The latter will, of course, not at all put the same interpretation to these events as I do, but he will not disagree with the basic facts and chronology.
The point for me is this: you can take any good book or course on the history of what is called “Judaism” today and check for yourself that all the facts above are true. I particularly recommend “The Way of Torah: An Introduction to Judaism” by Jacob Neusner which, if I am not mistaken, exists in the form of audio lectures from the Teaching Company’s “Great Courses” series. From an non-Judaic perspective I recommend the books “Judaism’s strange god” and, especially, the huge “Judaism Discovered” (over 1000 pages!) by Michael Hoffman. You can get them from an online bookstore or even in the form of a (possibly unauthorized and therefore free) PDF download. But even a short trip to your local library should give you enough confirmation that I am not making things up.
If you take the time to study the roots and evolution of what we called “Judaism”, and which could be called something like “rabbinical/Phariseic Talmudism”, you will come to the inevitable conclusion that modern “Judaism” is not the religion of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob but the religion of Maimonides, Karo and Luria. This religion has *nothing* in common with the religion of the Jewish people before Christ, just as modern Jews, especially the Ashkenazim, have no genetic connection to the Jewish people of 2000 years ago. We are dealing with a fraud whose main effort is to prove that it is the real thing, just as the Papacy is trying to prove that it is “the” original Church of Christ while in reality neither one of them have their roots in the times of Christ.
Depending on your personal beliefs there are only two religions today which can claim to be the real, true, continuation of the faith of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob: Orthodox Christianity (simply because it is the original form of Christianity which itself is the accomplishment of the ancient faith of the Jewish people) or Karaism (simply because it the closest non-Christian denomination to trace its roots to pre-Talmudic “Judaism” at least in the version of the Sect of the Sadducees).
I rather not have a long discussion about this fascinating, but complex, topic. I just wanted to explain why I wrote the modern Judaism is basically a form of anti-Christianity and try to clam down those who suffered a heart-attack or stroke from the indignation at hearing such a self-evidently ignorant and bigoted thought :-)
Now let’s get back to the modern world and its numerous problems.
Cheers and kind regards,
The Saker
ALL “systems of religion” are full of _ _ _ _ and man-made traditions and express the flawed and hedonistic nature of Man (the “abominable SELF”), NOT the nature of God. Undoubtedly, all these “systems of religion” will be “thrown into the fire” and only what expresses the true nature of God will survive, if Jesus the Christ is to be believed!
Speaking of Judaism, how about this: “I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.”? Makes one think of Zionism – which is a FAR CRY from Judaism (Rabbi Yoel Teitelbaum, Neturei Karta True Torah Jews and “Jews Against Zionism”).
nicely written…..well argued
Karen Armstrong is not credible
Christ did not leave a religion but disciples whom he called the church or his body with him as the head. These are connected directly to him through his holy spirit and get their life and instructions directly from him. With this in mind I dare say all organised Christian religion are not a continuation of what Christ left but are man made systems devoid of the guidance and direction of God.
Well, hot topic…not sure I dare to add my bit…but I will….
The reason the Jews are called the “chosen people” is because the Christ (messiah) incarnated into Abraham’s blood lines. They were chosen to be the blood stream of Christ.
My understanding is that this was why they had to avoid “pagans’… to keep the blood clean from “idol” worship, which would have contaminated the blood so that the high being of Christ could not enter…too contaminated, because pagan worship involved the worship of Lucifer, who was the God of the Ancient World. Rightly so…
In our times of course, since the beginning of our era, Christ becomes the Lord of the Earth.
Which leads me on to another question…if mankind goes and makes a colony on Mars, does Christ also go?
Please beware of the gold bugs who interpret Russia’s massive buying spree as an indication that the yellow brick road leads to freedom.
It does not.

I do not know exactly what Putin has in mind by buying so much gold but I AM SURE his strategy is defensive. This is the judo master playing at 4th dimensional chess, as per usual.
The Anglo-Zionist banksters do not care if you are impoverished by fiat paper or gold backed currency. Either way, due to scarcity and usuary, they eventually end up buying everything for a fraction of its value.
You cannot ‘buy’ a solution to the current morass. The petrodollar is dying so the only prudent protective measure for a country like Russia is to prepare itself for the switch back to the gold or some other standard — which the Anglo-Zionists have done repeatedly, switching back and forth between various ponzi schemes, since before the English Parliament was burnt to the ground when unwanted tally sticks were set alight.
All of our solutions are cultural. Forget the dialectical nonsense about Christianity vs. Judaism. We know who the enemy is and the best term available is ANGLO-ZIONIST. All of the other definitions lead to this nonsensical babbling about peculiar interpretations of history and all of which leave us confused, bickering and divided.
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We are targetted for genocide. The ultimate plan of the Anglo-Zionists is kill off billions of people and unless we pull our heads out of our asses and confront these psychopathic monsters IMMEDIATELY the 20th century murder of 150 to 200 million people will look like a joke.
Let us ALL see what an Israeli Jew says about what Saker just wrote about Judaism:

Saker,
Here is another Israeli Jew that agrees with you:
Book: “Jewish History, Jewish Religion: The Weight of Three Thousand Years”.
Author: Israel Shahak
A MUST read!

This is my understanding of the issue. One reason the Jews were chosen was because they could be relied on to preserve the Word. They are stubborn. After the Lords brief visit on Earth, they no longer tried and hence, the Masoretic texts. The Lord moved the lamp to Greece, Rome and other places.
They were promised world domination, they read it literally and some still do. Abrahams seed was the Lord and His children. Christianity is not a child of Judaism, it is the reason they were given the Word in the first place.
There will come a day when the Sun rises in the West. I read that as a new revelation in the Western hemisphere. The Lord never stops creating and He will also add to his Word. This is a new age and we need new instructions. When the Sun rises in the West, Jews, Christians and Muslims will be united. At least that is my hope.
Before the Jewish church, there were other churches (congregations) and they had parts of the Word. In some Asian countries, partial quotes from the Old Testament have been found. They are ignored or explained away as an inheritance of Christian missionaries that are left unidentified.
All churches have a lifespan. They are born, they mature and they enter old age. In the end, they are almost lifeless bodies. So it is with Judaism and so it is with some Christian and Muslim churches, but it has pleased the Lord to keep the Jewish Church alive, though He has also shaken it. I am saying Judaism still exists because of the Lords mercy for the people he grew up with. Knowing how stubborn they are, He allows them to have their own church. To do that He had to preserve one or more truths in Judaism. No church is allowed to exist unless it has at least one truth. Muslims also have truths.
I have much to learn and I am not an authority, but this is how I understand it.

I think He is already there, Ann. There is life everywhere in the universe, though all planets we have studied seem to be lifeless. The truth is concealed from us until the time is right.
Guys, guys….
ANY belief system built on “we are special” are dangerous.
Everyone likes to feel special. And nothing wrong with that in a loving family context. Or if you’ve personally done something good to deserved it.
But, on a wider scale, doesn’t matter if it’s the one true religion, or the BETTER or BEST or ONLY etc, or if it’s the better skin colour or whatever, any belief system that says you are BETTER than others is also saying the others are WORSE. Maybe to the point of not even being quite human. Maybe to the point of having to be converted (yep rewrite the history books if necessary). Maybe to the point of having to be destroyed, to SHUT THEM UP about hows THEY are the best.
If on top of ME ME ME being best, there’s also an element of POOR ME, the MARTYR (= others, someone, has been killing us) there enters an additional “need” to kill the others in pre-emptive “self-defensive” paranoia.
GET REAL people Forget these things. There is no such thing as collective guilt. There is no such thing as inherited guilt (concepts of Original Sin notwithstanding).
It is an interesting intellectual and archeological exercise to work out what document is older and/or which parts are fake. To base a world view on this, especially to base one’s dealings with other people, or whole other peoples, on these factors, is dangerous and twisted.
Believe what you choose to believe, as a personal faith. Allow the same right for everyone else. Don’t worry if you think they are wrong, that is their ultimate problem not yours. In other words keep out of other people’s souls, same as you [should] keep out of their bedrooms.
Look where “we are the best” has gotten the USA. Look what they are inflicting on the rest of the world because of it. Look at the self-righteous exceptionalism. And it’s not all from economic power, their religions had a big part in getting them there. Do you really want to be like them? Really?
“…it has pleased the Lord to keep the Jewish Church alive…”
The “Jewish Church” (Judaism) became “dead as a doornail” when it failed to acknowledge its own (Jesus the Christ, the “Anointed One”) as the Messiah and Son of God. He WAS the prophesied fulfillment of the OT. Isaiah 53 spelled it out pretty clearly, MANY years before He arrived on the scene!
Saker, thank you so very much for this one. I was not in any way familiar w any of what you wrote. I find it fills in gaps in explaining behavior observed over the years.
It must be the case that you read a lot & think about it. You are enormously knowledgeable. Thank you for writing about what you know. Regards.
Sorry. This is somewhat off-topic, but when will I ever have another chance to write about anything touching on religion.
–Part one
A political system can’t be devised or defended as a floating abstraction; it must be rooted in the identity of the creature for whom its intended– devised for the WHOLE man. We’ve certainly not left out Technological Man. And we’re obsessed w Econonomic Man– whether striving for market share or the latest consumer good. Our political system is in catastrophic failure at home and abroad– from Ferguson to immoral wrs abroad. Yes, Moral Man sems to have been extinguished.
Technology, science, economic goods are all physical, and so, striving after them easily defended. The spiritual– morality, ethics, awareness of sin– oops, I said tht embarassing word– has been excluded from our public life and our political system. At home we speak of defending society’s interests and abroad of defending those of our biggest banks and corporations.
Part 2
Obviously we’ve left out God, the embodiment of our moral and spiritual selves. The direct result is a politico-economic system of profound immorality. Abroad it tortures, applies sanctions that kill 100s of thousands of children (Iraq), strives for control of all the oil and pipelines (Syria), and of the whole world by striving to defeat Russia and China.
I think that we’ve left out God, that we find speaking of God embarassing because we’ve accepted a naive and therefore embarassingly unsophisticated idea of God. If God is a bearded figure resting on a cloud in the heavens of course we’re embarassed to admit such a belief. But of course God ISN’T that. God is the personification of all those higher feelings within us– the longing for justice, for the ideal– and most of all for the chance to strike a blow for the Good.
If God and the sort of morality that existed in the small-town 1950s were still a part of our culture, then what has befallen us could not have occurred. The evisceration of our moral life was purposeful.

Respectfully, Saker, you miss a Scripture of significance, The Quran, where, for me, it explains the differences between the various religious sects of the descendants of Abraham.
Believing in One God, the Last Day, Messengers of God, Angels, His revealed Books, and Destiny are the cornerstones of Faith according to the Quran.
Entering God’s Grace and Heaven is subordinate on these and doing good works.
As far as the Holy Lands are concerned, archaeology is a good tool to use to get answers as to where it is situated.

Anonymous: I doubt Russia cd institute capital controls if it wanted to, as the central bank isn’t under its control, since it’s largely controlled by the IMF. Most probably the article mentions the possibility of capital controls for the purpose of hastening capital flight.
Factoid: Unfortunately cannot remember the source (Sand?), but the effect of the temple destruction might be more mythic than actual given that during the first century CE about three million Jews lived in Egypt – still the most powerful economic zone in the region although about to be displaced by the emerging Roman Empire – many orders of magnitude greater than those in Palestine.
Every major religion arises from the desire to answer the questions “why are we here?, what is my purpose?”
Every major religion has a core teaching of morality and kindness and non-materialism.
Every major religion has texts that add ambiguity and contradiction to the core teaching, and these are invariably narrowly interpreted for political purposes, to guide the flock in a certain direction, towards a certain policy.
The vast majority of people on the planet “believe” in a religion, but not very much further than the core concepts of kindness, charity, honesty etc… The actual nitty-gritty of the true sordid human history of each religion, and the seeming contradictions of religious teachings, register only vaguely.
this is what saker originally wrote. This and only this:
[
Just like Judaism is, in historical, cultural and religious terms, nothing but an anti-Christianity, so is “Ukrainianism” just an “anti-Russism”.
]
This is a terrible, sweeping statement that blithely wipes away the religious sentiment and practice of millions of people, reducing it to nothing but some antagonistic anti-theology.
How does saker defend this statement?
“My critiques informed me of the fact that since Judaism was older than Christianity”
No – not all of saker’s “critiques” made that point. It is of course a valid point, as you can see from the original saker statement he does not mention any time frame (“post-christian judaism, modern judaism etc..), just judaism. all of it. even the stuff that preceded christianity.
“self-righteous outrage above is based on a very simple fallacy: the assumption that what we call “Judaism” today”
Here saker throws in the first of several insults – ‘self-righteous outrage’. saker is the one sounding self-righteous here. Then he simply redefines what is being discussed – judaism becomes “modern judaism”.
Here saker launches into a lengthy and interesting review of the history pharisic judaism. Note just how much information (and conjecture and interpretation) there is here. All stemming from that one sweeping statement.
This is the crux of the argument here – that saker publishes such an inflammatory and sweeping statement, and when it is inevitably misunderstood (according to saker) he goes immediately on the offensive expecting all readers to somehow have read his mind and know just exactly what he meant (which he needed so many more words later to convey).
This could so easily have been cleared up by simply admitting that particular statement was misleading.
Saker then finishes up with:
I rather not have a long discussion about this fascinating, but complex, topic. I just wanted to explain why I wrote the modern Judaism is basically a form of anti-Christianity and try to clam down those who suffered a heart-attack or stroke from the indignation at hearing such a self-evidently ignorant and bigoted thought :-)
So he ends with an outright lie “I wrote that MODERN judaism …” (CAPS by me), and a parting insult to those who dare point out his fault.
and finally:
“Now let’s get back to the modern world and its numerous problems.”
You may think that this is all a storm in a teacup, nitpicking one phrase from a long article. I of course do not. I believe this type of arrogance is one of the major contributors to “the numerous problems of the modern world”, and I will always react to such arrogance, especially from those who hypocritically claim to want open, honest discussion.
One wonders why saker felt it necessary to include that phrase which in every other way was really irrelevant to the actual article? is this what happens when you go too far down the rabbit hole?

Saker never fails to amaze with his knowledge and expertise on various topics…
Fascinating indeed…
Saker, I’ve been wondering why Christians nowadays are using the Old Testament? Can you please explain how it came about?
Thanks!
Saker,
I believe your evaluation of Judaism as being basically anti-Christian is exactly correct. As you correctly noted, Mr. Michael A. Hoffman II has documented this notion in his books, “Judaism’s Strange Gods” and “Judaism Discovered”. E. Michael Jones also details this all in his mammoth, “The Jewish Revolutionary Spirit”. In the latter book, Jones holds that, in the meaning of the Gospel of Saint John, the Jew came to be known as he who rejected Christ. No doubt, this is a startling and controversial statement in the post-Christian secular West. But it is, nonetheless, true.
By the way, I also reading now, and profiting hugely from, your excellent book, “The Essential Saker”. May the Lord bless you and keep you and make His face to shine upon you and give you Peace.

Saker , thank you again for another little gem . Leaves me with a lot to ponder . Could you please tell me which translation of the orthodox bible to English is best
Please check this article http://thesaker.is/non-political-interlude-reply-to-two-posts-religions-haters-please-skip-this-one/ and especially part II “was the Scripture corrupted”. Short reply: you need to look for an English translation of the Septuaginta text or text of the LXX.
HTH, cheers,

anti-GENTILISM is the problem. Cavemen did not sit around their caves:
GROK: “HEY, me hate Jews.”
HORG: “What a Jew?”
GROK: “Me not know …. but me hate”
Then non-Jews sat for tens of thousands of years waiting for a Jew to come along, so we could all be mean for no reason. Sorry, what happened was Jews created a social system of Xenophobic Tribalism (look it up) wherein THEY hate all NON-Jews, and this hate of all non-Tribe members has, naturally, caused People to not like them.
anti-semitic … that’s what they called Jesus of Nazareth in the Galilee …
JUDAS ISCARIOT was a JEW beloved by the Temple Priests.

PROsemitic ——- what is it?
If there is an “antisemitism” you must ask: “What is PROsemitism?”
PROsemitism must be a supporter of “semitism”, which really means Judaism (though most Moslems are SEMITIC and most JEWS are NOT). So what are you supporting if you are a PROsemite? Well first of all we must define Judaism:
Judaism is neither a race or a religion, it is Xenophobic Tribalism.
XENOPHOBIC: n.
A person unduly fearful or contemptuous of that which is foreign, especially of strangers or foreign peoples.
TRIBALISM: n.
1. The organization, culture, or beliefs of a tribe.
2. A strong feeling of identity with and loyalty to one’s tribe or group.
So right off the get-go you hate all NON-Jews, NON-members of YOUR group(TRIBE).
THAT means, that if I am not one of the TRIBE, you do not like me.
Since Jews BRAND all NON-Jews “gentile” automatically denigrating them, to be PROsemitic one must by definition be ANTI-GENTILE.
They hate all NON-Jews so fundamentally, that they have to SPECIFICALLY name “RIGHTEOUS GENTILES”.
Those are NON-Jewish HUMANS that went so far out of their way to help/save Jews that the Jews were FORCED to ACKNOWLEDGE the humanity of that specific ‘gentile”. You see, PROsemites do not acknowledge the EQUALITY of spirituality and humanity of “gentiles”
According to the SPLC & ADL an organization is a “HATE GROUP” if it has
“beliefs or practices that attack or malign an entire class of people”.
Jews have HATED Egypt for 3,500 years.
Jews have HATED Babylon for 2,500 years.
Jews have HATED CHRIST and his followers for 2,000 years.
David Ben-Gurion, one of the father founders of Israel, described Zionist aims in 1948: “A Christian state should be established [in Lebanon], with its southern border on the Litani river. We will make an alliance with it. When we smash the Arab Legion’s strength and bomb Amman, we will eliminate Transjordan too, and then Syria will fall. If Egypt still dares to fight on, we shall bomb Port Said, Alexandria and Cairo… And in this fashion, we will end the war and settle our forefathers’ account with Egypt, Assyria, and Aram “………….. read that again
“and settle our forefathers’ account with Egypt, Assyria, and Aram”
They are STILL HATING and planning deadly attacks after 3,500+ YEARS .
How do you think they feel about JESUS CHRIST whom they HATE most of ALL.
I don’t understand why this is so hard for people to understand. Great little summary Saker.
