      Besides the fact nobody can live *exactly* according to the Torah and Prophets as written owing to certain objective limitations and circumstances, no matter how well intentioned they might be, Qaraite Judaism is a bit more off the mark in this sense than it could be. The main example for this is that Qaraism considers regular, twice-daily prayer on par of a commandment. But there is no unassailable *logical* inference that can be made from anywhere within the Jewish Bible that can warrant this interpretation.
      I think another example is that Qaraite Judaism accepted the entire Miqra, even though the Ester Scroll ends by making Purim a mandatory observance, thereby adding to the Torah's commandments.

    Talmud is not the law given to Moses by G’d. Adding and subtracting is prohibited by YHVH but the sages without a temple have too much free time to make their own laws and worse go against the Torah and against G’d’s commandment not to add or subtract. So much free time that they will write volumes of books reasoning why they add and subtract. When you read for example why they follow the mother lineage and not paternal as in the Torah they will write so much nonsense kindergarten like level of biblical knowledge that you clearly see the blinds are leading the blinds.

    “Simple,” he said. “This is my synagogue. That one over there is the synagogue I can’t afford to join. And that third one? That third one is the synagogue I wouldn’t be caught dead in!”

      The luciferian new age gnosticism.. which comes under numerous names with subtle differences. For example the law of attraction means that a power is inherent in everyone. We are like gods.
      Or
      The need for a savior after falling from God.
      The media is pushing their agenda all over.ie. the prince of the air or the god of this world has his control.

      Since you believe that all your sins have been "forgiven" because you believe J. Christ "the savior" died for and instead of you, you are in real trouble! Not only are you still sin-laden, you have added a new, terrible sin to the old batch! You are guilty of idolatry for worshiping a false "savior", god and messiah. YHWH's word plainly states that He (YHWH) alone is Savior; (Isaiah 43:11). He alone can forgive sin (Isaiah 43:25). He alone is the True Deity (Isaiah 43:10)!!
      Moreover, you cannot "believe away" sin! Magic plays absolutely no role in the system of sin and atonement established by YHWH, the sole Creator of this universe. Atonement by "faith" is not part of YHWH's setup. The only way a sinner can get his sins forgiven is by repenting and by doing and fulfilling what YHWH wants him to do!! YHWH says: "Again, when I say to the wicked, you shall surely die; if he turn from his sin (repents) and do that which lawful and right ("good works")...he shall surely live, he shall NOT die!! NONE of his sins which he had committed shall be remembered against him! He has done that which is lawful and right! He shall surely LIVE!" (Ezekiel 33:14-16). Ezekiel was a prophet of YHWH. He wasn't a Christian preacher!
      In Moses' day, the repentant sinner usually (NOT ALWAYS) offered an animal sacrifice to symbolize his "giving" and YHWH's "accepting".
      Later prophets elaborated on how sacrifices are worthless without obedience:
      "Behold, to OBEY is BETTER than sacrifice!" (1 Samuel 15:22). "Do I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats?" (Psalms 50:13)."By practicing mercy and truth is sin atoned for!" (Proverbs 16:6).
      HOW can you come to YHWH? YHWH provides the answer: "Return, O Israel, to YHWH your almighty, for you have stumbled in your iniquity! Take with you WORDS and return to YHWH! (WHAT words?) Say to Him: forgive all iniquity and accept GOODNESS (good works). Thus, will we offer, INSTEAD of bullocks (blood) the offerings of our LIPS!" (Hosea 14:2-3).
      According to YHWH's word, NO ONE can die for you! If you don't believe me, read Exodus 33:31-33; Deut. 24:16; Ezekiel 18:3-4. But YHWH's demands can be met by you, if only you will know the truth. You can come to YHWH on your own! Read YHWH's word! "With what offering can I come before YHWH, and bow myself before the Mighty One on high? Should I come to him with burnt offerings, with year-old calves? Will YHWH be pleased by thousands of rams, with ten thousand rivers of oil? Should I give my first-born for my transgression (human sacrifice, like the crucifixion!), the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul? It has been told you, O man, what is good, and what YHWH (not religious doctrine but YHWH!) requires of you: ONLY to DO what is just (YHWH's COMMANDMENTS) and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your Almighty!" (Micah 6:6-8).
      Hallelu-Yahh, praise YHWH! His Salvation is open to all! No believing in fairy-stories, no bloody crucifixions! No "divine suicide" on a Roman Cross! Plain and simple is the Way of YHWH! Will you take Him at His Word today?
      Remove the Jesucks scales from your eyes, loosen your neck and circumcise your heart to accept the Truth.

    A Jew that says Moshe did not exist is not a Jew anymore according to the Torah. Unfortunately the concept of a "jewish soul" has entered so deep in the Jewish psyche that whether you are a moral etical person is less important than your "jewish" blood.

    • @GuildofKnightlyArts
      @GuildofKnightlyArts 7 лет назад

      Sorry but you are not correct as being a Jew is not simply being a part of a religion but it is so much more. Judaism is a family which is comprised of a myriad of races, ethnicity and cultures. The family is full of dissenting opinions and people you may not like very much but we all share a common affinity and that is Judaism itself. It's not how we view Torah for we existed in some form before Torah and for thousands of years we have debated not only the interpretation of Torah but also its authorship. Its a Jewish text but its also a book about Moses more than it is a first hand account written by him. Its also a text written in the context of broader Mesopotamian society, borrowing most of its narrative from other cultural sources. So today many Jews see the Torah in the same light as Joseph Campbell who asserted that mythology represents a collective human experience written down as a particular cultural wisdom which is relevant for all generation in seeking answers to life's meaning.

    Are there places in America to meet with Karaites?

    • @AimedResearch
      @AimedResearch 8 лет назад +2

      The short answer is the internet. Karaites are essentially Reform Jews from a time in history when atheism was non-existant. If they didn't hang on to the Tanach they would have been immediately killed by both Christian and Muslim powers. That is the only thing they had in common with their governmental rulers. If atheism was an option they would have ran to it. You can't look around you and say, "hey, there's a Karaite Jew." They are too secularized to be recognizable. There was only I believe two true Karaite synagogues in America, one on each end of the US. There are more ex-Christians who converted to Karaism in the US than there are true Karaites by birth. Even Nehemia here is not a true Karaite, nor the leader of the World Karaite Movement, they both left Orthodox Judaism. That's what Karaism is, its a rejection of Rabbinic Judaism by a later generation. The first true Karaite was a prominent rabbi who thought he should have inherited a position of basically the absolute leader of Judaism at the time. His brother was chosen by their peers instead. He refused to submit to his brother's new religious position. The muslim ruler at the time seen that as treason against his power since he only acknowledged one leader to represent the Jews. This rabbi sat in prison awaiting to be executed but just so happened to share the prison block with an intellectual muslim who knew enough about Islam and religious "rebellion" to teach him how to answer in court. He was referred to accept a position of the Sadduccees and claim he was the leader of this anti-rabbinic sect that had previously died out. He took his advice and claimed to be a scripturalist (aka Karaite), to the muslims, this is still "people of the book" a protected category in Islam. This saved his life. As a former prominent rabbinic leader, he now used his influence to drive people away from Orthodox Judaism and gain a following to legitimize his claim in court. Here it is today still the go-to-religion for people who leave the traditions of their people (a violation of the fifth commandment, among others). All I have to say is take a look at the Rechabites in Jeremiah. Their is no prohibition in the Bible for drinking wine, but their father commanded the generations, do not drink wine. Nehemiah's forefathers told him to live a certain way, a deviation from that way (halacha in Hebrew), is a sin because it is not only a deviation from the forefathers but a distancing from the Jewish society as a whole that provides a separation which is a sanctity that God called him to be born into, the Holy Nation of Israel.

      The 5th direction is below the first direction. To honor is less than to obey righteousness. So to follow mans spoken or written rules is the sin. To honor those who are the reason for your existence is not to follow their life style when it is written to follow YHWH. So I agree with you ?

      +Arieh ben avraham For starters, "AimedResearch10" regurgitated a debunked Rabbinic canard about `Anan ben Dawid, whom scholarship has found to NOT have conceived Qaraite Judaism, notably since his exegetical methods resembled the Rabbinic ones very much, rather than putting a premium on the Text's plain (but not necessarily literal) meaning.
      There is no Abbasid record of `Anan ben Dawid having been imprisoned, even though the Abbasids were meticulous in recording all matters brought before the Calif and who was imprisoned. The myth not only does not show up until the 10th (possibly the 12th according to Nemoy) century, it also has two different versions: one which said that ‘Anan had a brother name Ḥananyah who succeeded the Exilarch Shelomo ben-Ḥisdai, while in the other it says the brother’s name was Yoshiyah. However, both are fiction and bear no relationship with historical fact, since Shelomo ben-Ḥisdai was succeeded by Yiṣḥaq Iskawi I, who was succeeded by Yehudah Zakkai. There never was an Exilarch named Ḥananyah or Yoshiyah.
      The myth also claims that ‘Anan’s father was Shafaṭ and that he was only called ben-Dawid as a allusion to his Davidic descent. However, ‘Anan’s father was Dawid ben-Yehudah ben-Ḥisdai ben-Bustenai.
      ‘Anan ben-Shafaṭ disputed with the Exilarch Rav Huna II in the third century (Rav Huna II was Exilarch from 240 to 260), while the alleged imprisonment was supposed to have occurred in 769.
      The 10th/12th century myth records what it claims was a secret conversation between ‘Anan and the Muslim scholar Abu Ḥanifa an-Nu‘man ibn Tabit (ignoring the fact that Abu Ḥanifa died in AD 767, two years before ‘Anan’s alleged imprisonment) in which the Muslim convinces ‘Anan to say that he was not the head of the Jews but of a different religion. If there was such a secret conversation, how could the author of the myth be privy to what was said?
      None of the Rabbanite opponents of ‘Anan during his lifetime or that of his son or his grandson or great-grandson mention a dispute of the Exilarchate with a brother or him being imprisoned. If the things in the 10th/12th century myth were true, why is it that none of the opponents of ‘Anan or the Karaites mention it until the 10th/12th century?
      The Rabbanite Ga’on Naṭronai lived less than 90 years after ‘Anan, yet makes no mention of the alleged dispute over the office or imprisonment.
      Leon Nemoy in his “Karaite Anthology”, p. 6-7 says that Naṭronai tells us nothing “about the contest for the office of the exilarch which allegedly served as the immediate cause of his apostasy. It seems reasonable to assume that Naṭronai’s silence signifies that he knew nothing about it, for it would have been to his advantage, had he knowledge of `Anan’s disqualification for the high office, to set it forth in detail in order to demonstrate the more convincingly, from his own point of view, `Anan’s unworthy and ungodly motives. Moreover, Naṭronai lived in the very center of the scene of `Anan’s activity and belonged to the higher strata of Rabbanite society, where the alleged particulars of `Anan’s secession should have been known best, had they been true.”
      Someone who lived less than 90 years after ‘Anan would also know that the Exilarch Shelomo ben-Ḥisadai was succeeded by Yiṣḥaq Iskawi and he by Yehudah ben-Zakkai and that there was no Exilarch named Ḥananyah or Yoshiyah. Only someone from a much later time period could confuse the 3rd century ‘Anan ben-Shafaṭ and Rava Huna I with the 8th century ‘Anan ben-Dawid and a fictitious brother named Ḥananyah.

    Non-Jewish people are not commanded to convert to Karaite Judaism - or Torah of Israel - faith in the Tanakh as far as I can tell. Does Karaite Judaism agree with that? If they do agree with that statement, do they think non-Jewish people should feel obligated to follow the actual universal covenant of Genesis 9, the sign being the rainbow. This appears to still be valid and in force for mankind. Are members of the rest of mankind beyond the covenanted land of Abraham obligated to follow Genesis 1:1 - 11:9, the religion of Noah, Shem, Ham and Japheth and their immediate successors?

      +Ale Goe What you presumably saw written in the KK website that is in line with your claim that one needs only to obey the Torah to become a Qaraite is not quite true. If you are non-Jewish, it would render you a Qaraite aspirant, or an Accompaniar to the people of Israel -- if you wish to join the Jewish people. Being a full-fledged Qaraite means being a Torah observant *Jew*. Those who wish to join the Jewish people as Qaraites need to "convert" through a bona fide Jewish movement, namely to be naturalized and adopted as a new citizen or member of the Jewish people. And thankfully, there is a route for those who wish to join this people through the Qaraite movement; I know of a few Qaraites who have joined the Jewish people by undergoing conversion through Reform rabbis who were informed in advance of their intention to practice Judaism as Qaraites.

Jews For Judaism (Michael Skobak) and Karaite Judaism USA (Filipe) RUclips channel presenters are good examples of Orthodox and Karaite Jews that do, I also have immense respect for Yeshua and wish Jews would "reclaim" him rather than live in ignorance of him as a reaction to Christianity and the movements to convert Jews. He is an important part of Jewish history and didn't seek a huge following, and the false religion wasn't created by him, it came later.

    To my own understanding so it's open to discussion. The pictograph Hebrew was a concrete language. Now meaning this current time period. The square script is like Greek or English being a abstract language is this true? My reasoning for this is the added letters
    and changes in sound rather than meaning of a concrete language.

    • @AimedResearch
      @AimedResearch 8 лет назад

      Pictographic/Paleohebrew was the common script of the Israelites due to Egyptian influence. The Ashuri or what I assume you mean as square script was the script/writing that God taught Moses at Sinai and the actual script at least the first set of tablets were written in. Even though the oldest extant Hebrew script is the paleohebrew, it is a little known point that the oldest extant record of the Bible such as the Greek "Septuagint" has textual errors that are easily explainable as translation errors of mistaken Hebrew Ashuri (block) text. That is, the document that the "Septuagint" was translated from was written in Ashuri Hebrew Script. If you don't believe me consider this. The book of Daniel records the Writing on the Wall. If it was paleohebrew the Babylonian wise men would have been familiar with the letters and could have easily figured out the meaning (they had men who knew all known languages in the Babylonian court). The only way that the Babylonians could not have been able to read the writing on the wall would be if it was written in an Alphabet they have never seen before. Daniel could read it because it was the script that the Torah scrolls were written in. And Ashuri means "lofty" or of a lofty status similar to the root of the name Asher. It has nothing to do with Assyria as secular scholars claim.

    • @AimedResearch
      @AimedResearch 8 лет назад

      And I'd like to add as a concrete proof of my statement above is that Orthodox Judaism (Talmud) claims God gave two instructions in a single utterance concerning the Commandment of Shabbat. In Exodus 20 it says "Zachor - Remember" the Sabbath and in Deut. 5 it claims God said "Shamor - Keep" the Sabbath. This is only possible if you look at the Ashuri (block) Hebrew and analyze the scribal strokes that make up the word "Shamor". The last letters of both words are the same but you will notice that the Shin has an ending stroke that is essentially a Zayin and the Mem has a curved stroke that is essentially a Kaph. That means the word Zachor is contained in the word Shamor and only in the Script that God gave to Moses - Ashuri.

    And might I add that even the Karaites stray. As a Jew read what Deuteronomy says only as the law. Add or subtract strictly nothing. That is the law. Moses repeats many times do only what he says in Deuteronomy and nothing more or less. How can anyone believe to be a Karaite miss this point? There is only one law and it is Deuteronomy.

      Gordon was an American Jew, moved to Israel, became an Israeli, but subsequently moved back to the US and virtually ceased even visiting Israel. He's not someone who spent his first years of life in Israel, spoke Hebrew from a tender age with an Israeli accent, and ultimately moved permanently to the US. While the latter can be considered somehow an Israeli, someone like Gordon cannot.

    I wouldn't call it the perfect word of God. Just a bit basic that thinking. It's a true enough book of history between God and Man, but it's not God dictated stuff. God gives guidance and words through the Tanakh, but it's not perfect. There are mistakes in chronicling history. There are issues. It's a book of it's era - a history book of its time. It's true - but it's not completely infallible.

      Obviously your command of the Jewish Bible leaves much to be desired, or you would be aware that it provides a way for us to receive expiation and atonement in the absence of the great altar and Holy Temple, without any sacrificial offerings (animal and others) through repentance and prayer.

      Because this Jesus failed the prophecy he didn't bring back the lost tribes back to Israel not only that the prophets nor God never said that someone will come to die for our sins. You will not find this anywhere in the old testament. No one can die for your sins as it says in Ezekiel 18:20, Psalm 49:7. Human sacrifice is an abomination to God Deuteronomy 12:31; 18:10. Sin animal sacrifice was when someone committed a sin by accident Leviticus 4:2, 13, 22-23, 27-28 etc Not intentionally or planed. Also the altar was used for offerings not just for animal sacrifice, Leviticus 2:1. How God forgives sin is by turning away from your sins Ezekiel 18:21-22. God even forgave King David without sacrifice in 2 Samuel 12:13. In the book of Jonah everyone in Nineveh Repented and God didn't destroy the city, they all turned away from their sins and didn't do any sacrifice they where not even Israelite's to being with. God is the only one who forgives and God is our savior Isaiah 43:11 "I, even I, am the LORD; and beside me there is no savior." Not this Jesus that's blasphemy. If Jesus was truly sinless(righteous) he could only save himself and no one else Ezekiel 14:14 "even if these three men--Noah, Daniel and Job--were in it, they could save only themselves by their righteousness, declares the Sovereign LORD." If you understand the old testament as it is you will see why the Jews don't believe in the new testament.. so many contradictions. So many things in the new testament which misquote the old testament example "Again the anger of the Lord was aroused against Israel, and He moved David against them to say, “Go, number Israel and Judah.” (2 Samuel 24:1) vs "Now Satan stood up against Israel, and moved David to number Israel." (1 Chronicles 21:1) So who was it God or this Satan? This is one of many.. misquotes. The new testament was written in Greek whoever wrote the new testament clearly had no understanding in the old testament it also has a lot of pagan ideologies in it which is no surprise since a Greek wrote it. But lets say all that the new testament is true why would God reviled something in Greek instead of Hebrew? That just makes no sense. It's just not of God. Shalom

      As in this case, "D'Oraita" is usually a Rabbinical contortion of some Torah commandment. Worse, you're mistranslating the verse.
      What it actually states is, "You are not to round off the edge-growth of your head, you are not to diminish the edgegrowth of your beard."
      This commands to refrain from cutting one's hair in a rounded manner as was done by idol worshipers and not to disfigure one's beard's corner. *None of this means one must grow "Pious" (sidelocks).*

Though shalt not seethe a calf in its mothers milk, their is no one answer, we have commentaries and all are good, some rabbi's belive more of one than another, but all have truth, so we are carefull to get every possible meaning if not of oral commentary and i do not mean interpretations, so we know do not cook a lamb or goat in milk, but it goes on, we dod not drink milk with meat, it is not good for u anyway and to me sounds didgusting, we do not kill a calf in front of the mother, so one little thing can have mant meanings not given in torah, The new testament is basically all pos commands , do , this, that shalt t do tis and that, no room for discussion, so i dissagree with not having books that are a treasure trove of over 2000 years of study to be considered worthless, Gentiles who felt like you rapped rebs in talmud scrolls and burned them alive, book burning
