Well, I have met people who preach/teach a Judaizer message. The definition of a Judaizer is a one that believes "Faith in Christ plus observance to any portion of the Mosaic law".
Paul used the term "Judaize" it is "
ioudaizein" in greek and is number 2450e in Strong's and is used in the verse below.
So if you want to cast aspersions and cause dissension by labeling the use of the Judaizer as name calling, then that is your choice. It is a term Paul used and is a Christian topic. It is a descriptive label that Paul used. Paul summed it up best in the verse above "
why compellest thou the Gentiles to live as do the Jews?".
Shaul (Paul) was speaking againt talmudic customs/laws/traditions. If you think he was telling "gentiles" not to do whay Yahweh commanded you are gravely mistaken. You see gentiles WERE ALWAYS ALLOWED AND FOLLOWED YAH THE SAME WAY AS A HEBREW:
Numbers 15:15-16, "One ordinance shall be for you of the congregation, and for the stranger who sojourns with you, as an ordinance forever throughout your generations.
As you are, so shall the stranger be in front of Yahweh.
One Law and one manner shall be for you and for the stranger who sojourns with you."
Exodus 12:48-49, "And when a stranger lives among you and wants to sacrifice the Passover to Yahweh, let all his males be circumcised, and then let him come near, and sacrifice it; and he shall be as a native of the land. But no uncircumcised person shall eat of it.
One Law shall be for the nativeborn and for the stranger who dwells among you."
Isayah 56:1-7, "This is what Yahweh says: Keep the judgments, and do justly; for My salvation is near, soon, to come, and My righteousness to be revealed. Blessed is the man who does this, and the son of man who lays hold on it; who keeps the Sabbaths without polluting; defiling, them; and keeps his hand from doing any evil.
Do not let the son of the Gentile, who has joined himself to Yahweh, speak, saying; Yahweh has utterly separated me from His people. Nor let the eunuch say; Behold, I am a dry tree. For this is what Yahweh says: To the eunuchs who keep My Sabbaths, and choose those things which please Me, and hold fast to My covenant: I will give to them, in My House, even within My walls, a place and a Name equal to that of sons and of daughters; I will give them the Name of The Everlasting: YAHWEH; which will not be cut off.
Also the sons of the Gentile who join themselves to Yahweh, to serve Him, and to love the Name of Yahweh, to be His servants--everyone who keeps the Sabbaths without polluting; defiling, them and who holds fast to My covenant--I will bring them to My holy mountain, and make them joyful in My House of prayer..."
The talmud created the dividing wall of "racisim" Yahweh nor His Law never taught this:
Leviticus 19:34, "The stranger living with you must be treated as one of your native-born, and you shall love him as yourself; for you were strangers in the land of Egypt. I am Yahweh."
Yet the Talmud WAS DEEPLY RACIST"
Talmud - Mas. Baba Metzia 114b
For it has been taught: R. Simeon b. Yohai said: The graves of Gentiles do not defile, forit is written, And ye my flock, the flock of my pastures, are men;5 only ye are designated ‘men’
A "Judaizer" is one who promotes Judaism. Judaism IS NOT BASED ON SCRIPTURE AS IT MAIN BOOK, IT IS BASED ON THE TALMUD WHICH COMPLETELY CONTRADICTS SCRIPTURE, this is what Yahshua ripped the Pharisees for over and over.
Here is a sample comparing Scripture with the Pharisees/Rabbis twisted version:
The "rabbis" interpret Scripture by something called Midrashic interpretation, which ignores language and ignores context. They say Scripture is a divne code and only the rabbis have the knowledge to decipher that divine code. Here is an ACTUAL example of Midrashic interpretation used by the rabbis:
Deuteronomy 30:11-13, "For this Law which I command you this day is not hidden from you, nor is it beyond your reach. It is not up in heaven, so that you have to ask; Who will ascend up into heaven for us, and bring it to us, so that we may hear it and then do it? Nor is it beyond the sea, so that you have to ask; Who will cross the sea, and bring it to us, so that we may hear it and then do it?"
After Midrashic interpretation is applied, they come out with : "‘It is not in heaven.’4 What did he mean by this? — Said R. Jeremiah: That the Torah had already been given at Mount Sinai;
we pay no attention to a Heavenly Voice" (Talmud, Baba Metzia 59b)
