Hi all, I have heard this term (JUDAIZER) used alot here on the forums. From historical records it seems that the Catholic Church used this term a lot in persecution of believers from the times of the reformation but I have never seen this term used in the scriptures or any place in God's Word. I do have my own thoughts but wanted to ask you all what does a Judizer mean in your understanding of the word in the way you may use this term here at CC?
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Hope this can be a friendly chat with the scriptures
Blessings to you
The focus is on how the phrase;
law of the fathers (multiple) is used
Catholicism is a branch of Pharisees along with Sadaucesss. Two sects that put aside there difference as a
law of the fathers . Oral traditions of men as commandments of unconverted men that walk by sight as if the kingdom of God did come by observation rather than a faith that comes by hearing God exclusively as in all things written in the law and the prophets (sola scriptura)
Catholicism continued a law of the father just as used with the Pharisees with Sadaucesss denominations. a Different father used to establish their false seal for God. We know they were walking by sight because the High priest offered in writing a special promise to kill the misperceived competition as in out of sight out of mind
Because they had no faith coming from all things written in the law and the prophets they persecuted the belivers. When saukl joined the Nazarene sect they were after his flesh and bones. . . thinking killing the messenger kills the message. When they tried to prove sola scriptura was heresy and their law was law they could not. Rather than serving a law of the fathers directed to our father in heaven founded on the flesh of Abraham passed down from one generation to the next venerating a form of worship Paul worship the God of our fathers . Not the fathers as God.
The
law of the fathers
Acts 22 King James Version (KJV) Men, brethren, and fathers, hear ye my defence which I make now unto you. (And when they heard that he spake in the Hebrew tongue to them, they kept the more silence: and he saith,) am verily a man which am a Jew, born in Tarsus, a city in Cilicia, yet brought up in this city at the feet of Gamaliel, and
taught according to the perfect manner of the law of the fathers, and was
zealous toward God, as ye all are this day.And
I persecuted this way unto the death, binding and delivering into prisons both men and women. As also the high priest doth bear me witness, and all the estate of the elders:
from whom also I received letters unto the brethren, and went to Damascus, to
bring them which were there bound unto Jerusalem,
for to be punished.
They followed after another written law , the
oral traditions of men. . . again a law of the fathers
The Law of
our Father (one)
For we have found this man a pestilent fellow, and a mover of sedition among all the Jews throughout the world, and a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes: Who also hath gone about to profane the temple: whom we took, and would have judged according to
our law. Acts 24 :5-6
Neither can they prove the things whereof they now accuse me. But this I confess unto thee, that after the way which
they call
heresy, so worship I the God of my fathers,
believing all things which are written in the law and in the prophets:
Acts 24:13 -14
They worshipped the fathers as if they were in the place of God the unthinkable..having fathers in replacement with our Father in heaven rather than serving our father in heaven they served the fathers of lies on earth .a murderer from the begining working through a law of the fathers
Matthew 3:9 And
think not to say
within yourselves, We have
Abraham to
our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto
Abraham.
Or And
think not to say within yourselves, We have
Peter to
our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Peter . lively stones that make up the spiritual unsen house, the church
Its the same spirit of Judizers today. No faith coming from all things written in the law and the prophets... the nemesis .
