One person asks whether Hegseth has a tattoo of the name Yeshua on his arm. Another replies that he is a messianic who believes a Third Temple must be built and that an end-times battle is underway. They add that non-Chabad Jews expect this only after the Messiah comes, while Chabad-Lubavitch believes the Messiah has already arrived, citing Rebbe Menachem Schneerson.

@JosiahForYeshua He is a messianic who believes the Third Temple needs to be constructed and that we are currently in some End Times battle. While Non-Chabad Jews believe this will happen only after the Messiah comes. Chabad-Lubavitch believes the Messiah has come: Rebbe Menachem Schneerson 👇🏼 https://t.co/JQMl9otLF9

Followers of the Lubavitcher rabbi said mourning his death has been difficult because most believed he would never die. At the Lubavitcher synagogue in Brooklyn, congregants ripped their lapels in sign of mourning and stated they still believe Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson will be physically resurrected as Mashiach, the Messiah. They said they believe the rabbi will rise up in his grave and come back to life, in “full glory,” imminently, to redeem the entire world, “us included.” They described the response as a test of faith.

Have a listen to this Chabadnik in Israel. Now after seeing this and hearing this, many of you might say, "But this is only one Chabadnik, and most Chabadniks don't believe this way." Here is a video inside 770 in New York City, the headquarters of Chabad Lubavitch. Where they sing that the dead rabbi is the king and the messiah.

I’ve heard claims that a Talmud passage proves Jews are evil, but I see major issues: it’s disputed whether “Yeshu HaNotzri” is Jesus, the rhetoric arose during Christian persecution, and it doesn’t represent Judaism broadly—many Jews don’t even know the Talmud. Even when hostility exists, I argue God’s love and calling for Israel (Rom 11) stands, and Christians shouldn’t hate enemies (Matt 5).

“bUt ThE tALmuD sAys JeSuS iS bUrNinG iN fEceS iN hEll” I’ve heard this so many times as a “gotcha” to prove that Jews are super evil and therefore Christians should hate Jews. 🧵 There are multiple problems—many of which Ben Shapiro covers below—with this line of thinking (if it even counts as thinking).

Watch as Ben Shapiro takes on an antisemite trying to spread the false claim that Jews hate Christians, using misquoted Talmud passages. https://t.co/pxCQX1Xn2O

Video Transcript AI Summary
The conversation centers on whether “Judeo-Christian values” is an acceptable term, given religious differences between Judaism and Christianity. The first speaker, addressing Mr. Shapiro, says Mr. Shapiro has consistently promoted the idea that America was built on Judeo-Christian values. As a devout Christian, the speaker claims difficulty accepting the term because Judaism rejects Jesus. The speaker contrasts Christian beliefs that Jesus Christ is God with what they describe as teachings in the Talmud, saying it teaches that Jesus is burning in hellfire and excrement. They also point to a conflict with the New Testament’s teachings to love enemies and pray for persecutors, referencing the speaker’s claim that “verse 15 of the Talmud states that even the best of the gentiles should be killed.” The speaker asks why Mr. Shapiro insists on using what they call an “oxymoronic term” given these “irreconcilable differences.” Mr. Shapiro responds that the speaker’s reading of the Talmud is “a really bad read.” He also argues that the idea that any text can support the claim that Judaism, “broad writ,” is disdainful or hateful toward Christians or toward non-Jews is “a tremendous misread of Judaism over the centuries and particularly today.” He states that he can cite parts of the New Testament he finds personally problematic, as well as parts of the Quran he finds personally problematic, and that he could likely find problematic parts in the Old Testament as well. He says this does not indicate what Judaism is or its historic impact on the world. Mr. Shapiro asserts that “Judaism is the foundation of Christianity,” and says Jesus and the New Testament acknowledge this. He argues that claiming Judaism and Christianity are completely “de-linked” and teach two completely separate lessons ignores that the Old Testament is part of the New Testament. He says Christians and Jews think differently, but that the idea that they are completely disconnected is wrong. He further responds to the criticism based on Talmud citations by saying that citing texts from around 500 CE, during a time when Jews were being persecuted by Christians in the Roman Empire, is “a real stretch” to conclude that Jews today are overall hateful of Christians. He adds that he tells Christians to go to church and to reengage with their faith, and says he does not try to convert people to Judaism because it is forbidden in Jewish law. He concludes by saying there is a group online that spends all day cherry-picking bad lines from the Talmud to create a “giant myth” that Jews seek the extermination of Christians or some other conspiracy theory, which he calls a lie, and he reiterates that Judeo-Christian values are “quite real” because Judaism and Christianity have “an awful lot in common.”

Good evening, Mr. Shapiro. You've consistently promoted the idea that America was built on Judeo-Christian values. However, as a devout Christian, I have difficulty accepting the term, given Judaism's rejection of Jesus. Christians believe Jesus Christ is God. In contrast, the Talmud, a central Jewish holy book, teaches that Jesus is burning in hellfire and excrement. And while the New Testament tells us to love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us, so verse 15 of the Talmud States that even the best of the gentiles should be killed. Given these irreconcilable differences, why do you insist on using this oxymoronic term? Okay, so first of all, that's a really bad read of the Talmud. Second of all, the notion that you can cite any text in support of the idea that Judaism, broad writ, is somehow disdainful or hateful of Christians or of, or of people who aren't Jewish is in fact a, a tremendous misread of Judaism over the centuries and particularly today. I can cite sections in the New Testament that I find personally problematic. I can certainly cite segments in the, in the Quran that I find personally problematic. The truth is I could probably find places in the Old Testament that I find personally problematic. That doesn't speak to what Judaism is and its historic impact on the world. Judaism is the foundation of Christianity. Jesus himself acknowledged this. The New Testament acknowledges this. The notion that Judaism and Christianity are somehow completely de-linked and teach two completely separate lessons ignores the fact that the Old Testament is part and parcel of the New Testament. Sure, Christians and Jews think different things, of course. Otherwise, I'd be a Christian or you'd be a Jew. If we thought completely the same thing, then presumably we would have the exact same religion. But the notion that Judaism and Christianity are completely de-linked is wrong. As far as mis-citations from the Talmud or even citations of texts that are written in the year five hundred CE, at a time when Jews were being persecuted by Christians in the Roman Empire, that seems to me a, a real stretch to get to the idea that Jews today are overall hateful of Christians. I'm not More people back to church than me. I really don't know that there is anybody who's done that. I tell Christians literally all the time to go to church. I tell Christians all the time to reengage with their faith. I think it is deeply, deeply important that they do. I don't try to convert people to Judaism because that's actually forbidden in Jewish law. I'm not supposed to convert people to Judaism. So I know there's a group of people who spend all day online cherry-picking bad lines from the Talmud, a text that they have no familiarity with, and then trying to spin that into a giant myth about how Jews are seeking the extermination of Christians or some other bizarre conspiracy theory. It's a lie, it's stupid, and the Judeo-Christian values of the nation are quite real because, once again, Judaism and Christianity have an awful lot in common.

1️⃣ There is dispute as to whether or not the “Yeshu HaNotzri” described in this section of the Talmud was actually Jesus of Nazareth. There are Jews who believe that this is not about Jesus. Source: https://www.angelfire.com/mt/talmud/jesusnarr.html https://t.co/D5Ajb5RjAy

2️⃣ This passage was written at a time when the Christian Byzantine Empire was persecuting Jews. This would not *excuse* the Rabbis from saying harsh things about Jesus, but it would show that such polemic rhetoric wasn’t a one-sided issue. Historically, one of the main Jewish objections to Jesus is the fact that Christians have brought so much destruction on Jews (see what Rambam wrote below).

3️⃣ There is no single Jewish attitude toward or belief about the Talmud. Orthodox Jews view it as equally authoritative as the Bible; more liberal Jews will still esteem Talmud, but do not accept it as divine revelation. There are other religious Jewish groups, such as Karaite Jews, which disassociate from Talmud altogether. Source: https://www.myjewishlearning.com/article/the-formation-of-the-oral-torah/ Many rank-and-file religious Jews will personally be completely unfamiliar with the Talmud, and will instead just listen to their rabbis. Messianic Jews like myself will either view Talmud as containing useful ideas but with less authority than Scripture, or will put no stock in Talmud at all (this is my persuasion). And of course, there are vast numbers of secular Jews who don’t even care what the Bible says, much less the Talmud.

4️⃣ EVEN IF Judaism is an evil enemy of the Gospel (which it isn’t any more so than other religions), that does not negate God’s love for Israel and His unregretted, irrevocable call of the Jewish people, as Paul teaches in Romans 11:26-29 (see screenshot below). Likewise, Yeshua (Jesus) teaches us to love our enemies, and pray for those persecuting us (Matthew 5:43-48). And again, He says, “I came not to call righteous men, but sinners, to reformation” (Luke 5:32). Even the most wicked people can be saved through the power of the Good News of Yeshua (just look at Paul!). It is unbiblical to hate people who feel disdain toward the Gospel.

@JosiahForYeshua - Josiah Geoffrey ✡️

CONCLUSION / TL;DR 1️⃣ This passage from the Talmud may not even be talking about Jesus at all. 2️⃣ If it is talking about Jesus, it was likely reactionary against Christian persecution. 3️⃣ Most Jews would probably have no idea the Talmud even says this. (Most Jews who do know the Talmud says this would probably only know because they saw antisemites posting memes about it online.) This snippet from the Talmud is in no way representative of Judaism or the Jewish people as a whole. 4️⃣ Even when Jews are enemies of the Gospel, God still has an abiding love and calling for the people of Israel. Any anti-Christian sentiments that Jewish people (or any other unbelievers) have cannot be used by Christians to justify disdain, hatred, or persecution.

If you ask a “Christian” antisemite, he’ll say that it’s biblical to view the Jews as the enemies of mankind, and therefore obviously Christians should view the Jews with derision. They make this argument from 1 Thessalonians 2:14-15, which refers to “the Jews, who killed both the Lord Jesus and the prophets, and drove us out, and displease God and oppose all mankind…” This biblical sound-bite certainly does seem, at first glance, like it’s labeling the Jewish people as opposers of all humanity—but like most prooftexts, this verse has been taken out of context. Here’s the greater passage: 1 Thessalonians 2:13-16 (ESV) And we also thank God constantly for this, that when you received the word of God, which you heard from us, you accepted it not as the word of men but as what it really is, the word of God, which is at work in you believers. For you, brothers, became imitators of the churches of God in Christ Jesus that are in Judea. For you suffered the same things from your own countrymen as they did from the Jews, who killed both the Lord Jesus and the prophets, and drove us out, and displease God and oppose all mankind by hindering us from speaking to the Gentiles that they might be saved—so as always to fill up the measure of their sins. But wrath has come upon them at last! First off, note that Paul here refers to the community of Messiah-followers in Judea (or Judah)—in other words, he’s talking about Messianic Jews. It’s also worth pointing out that Paul himself is also a Jew (Acts 21:39). So when Paul starts condemning “the Jews,” he is obviously not condemning the whole Jewish ethnic-group, otherwise he would be condemning himself and all other Jewish followers of Yeshua (Jesus). The second thing to note is that Paul is making a comparison between the believers in Thessaloniki and the believers in Judah, saying that the Thessalonian believers were facing persecution from their countrymen just as the Jewish believers were facing persecution from their countrymen. Paul is not making an accusation against all Thessalonians for persecuting the believers, but rather talking about a group of Thessalonians who are doing this evil thing. In the same way, Paul is not talking about “the Jews” as one corporate group who are all guilty as enemies of the human race—rather, he is specifically condemning the Jews who are persecuting the believers and who killed Yeshua. Paul doesn’t just say “the Jews”; Paul says “the Jews, who…” thereby referring to a specific group of Jews. It would be akin to me referring to “the Nigerians, who are slaughtering Christians and committing crimes against humanity,” but I’m not making a blanket statement that all Nigerians are inherently evil. One final thought: even though Paul is referring to a group of horrible Jewish people here, we should keep in mind what Paul says in Romans 11:28-29, “As regards the gospel, they are enemies for your sake. But as regards election, they are beloved for the sake of their forefathers. For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.” Jews by no means get a free pass from God, and will certainly face eternal punishment for their sins apart from Yeshua (Rom 2:9); yet God has still irrevocably called and chosen the people of Israel, such that even in their rebellion, Jews are beloved by God for the sake of the patriarchs. We should share God’s heart toward His people Israel, and work toward their salvation!

@Jspenny358358 That’s not reading the Talmud. That’s reading a meme. That meme is not an accurate reflection of the Talmud. And again, what Talmud says is not a reflection on Jews as a whole.
