Jesus Christ could not be a Christian; this is blasphemy against his Jewish faith
@marcelobelz9881
Our Question Our question in today's Study is not whether the Messianic "Jew" (Messianic Christian) is right or wrong, but rather how Jewish he is. Regarding his beliefs we have already discussed this for some time.
What interests us now is the effect that his belief in Jesus has on his Jewish identity.
According to Jewish law it is technically impossible for a Jew born of a Jewish mother or properly converted to Judaism to change his religion.
Even though the Jew goes through all the rites of admission into another faith and formally renounces Judaism, he remains, at least as far as Halacha is concerned, a Jew even if in Sin according to the Talmud Tractate Sanhedrin 44A.
According to Narmanides, this attitude derives from the fact that the covenant between God and Israel was made with the one who is here with us today before the Lord our God and also with the one who is not here today Deuteronomy 29:14 in Narmanides' commentary.
For someone who is born Jewish, Judaism is not a mere matter of choice and for the convert it ceases to be when he converts. However, people who have adopted another religion or who have formally renounced Judaism are treated differently by Jewish law than Jews who, even in transgression, have not taken such action.
These people are known in Halacha as mumar from the root meaning to change or even Meshumad from the root meaning to destroy, destroyed, a Heretic... If, for example, a Messianic Jew celebrated his wedding according to the principles of the Christian faith, even though they say they are not Christians, they certainly are, because they believe in the same way as most of them.
In the eyes of Judaism, the couple would not be married and therefore anyone could enter into a new marriage without getting a divorce, as they would not be legally married according to Halacha, Jewish law. The son of a Messianic Jew must not undergo Britmilah, circumcision. The child will not be able to enter into the covenant of Abraham even if he is of Jewish origin; a Jewish woman who becomes Messianic is suspected of violating all the commandments of the Torah, including adultery, thus becoming forbidden to her husband and, as a married woman according to Halacha, forbidden to any other man. If the husband is a traditional practicing Jew, he would simply have to break up with her, as he could not trust that she would be faithfully following Kashrut and the laws of Niddah, and due to her beliefs, she becomes suspected of adultery, spiritual fornication. Normally, the divorce does not take effect until the Geth, which is the official document, has been personally delivered, but in the case of a Messianic married to a Jew or an observant Jew, the divorce takes effect the moment it is issued. In these cases, it can be granted without the knowledge of the other party or without their consent. A Messianic cannot be a witness in a court of Jewish justice because the testimony of an apostate is considered untrustworthy, since by his rebellion he nullifies the entire Torah and thus is considered untrustworthy even if he remains Jewish in his personal status. According to written law, a son is the heir of his father by virtue of his descent from him (Numbers 27:8). However, a Messianic who has sinned can be disinherited by the court by excluding him from his father's inheritance according to the Talmud Kidushim 18a Pisquei Aroch and furthermore, the death of a Messianic cannot be mourned by his family. There is no mourning for him and he can only be buried near the fence at the edge of the Jewish cemetery. How Jewish is a Messianic or a Jew for Jesus when not even another Jew can share his bread or drink his wine. How Jewish is a Messianic when he cannot be called, not even for Aliyah to the Torah, that is, for the ascent to the Torah, the reading of the Torah. How Jewish is he when he is forbidden even to hold a Sefer Torah in the synagogue. How Jewish is he when we know that he wrote a Mezuzah, a Sefer Torah or a Tefillin, these items considered sacred by all Jews must be destroyed. How Jewish is the Messianic when we know, for example, that the sacred name of God, if written by him, has no Kedusha, has no sanctity. How Jewish is he when we know that he cannot be counted in a Minyan, that is, in a quorum of 10 men for prayers and sacred readings together with his brothers. An atheist Jew has full rights in a synagogue, a Jew who has married people of other religions has full rights, a Jew who has been forcibly converted has his rights assured as we know. All these are counted and remain as the whole of Israel but that Jew who spontaneously and openly embraces the Christian divinity or Allah or Krishna etc.
These are cut off from their people to these we say you have no part in Israel and no portion in Jacob. Maimonides in His work The following are said about repentance: they have no portion in the world to come but are cut off to perish and for their wickedness and sinfulness are condemned forever. Among these are those who deny the Torah, those who cause a multitude of sins and those who abandon the ways of the community.
He who says that there is a power of government but that such power is divided between two or more persons.
He who says that there is one God but that He has a body and form, and so he who worships any other than Him, the eternal One or a mediator between human beings and the Lord of the Universe. Likewise, he who denies the interpretations of the Torah, that is, the oral law. He who says that the Creator changed His commandments for others and that this Torah, although of Divine origin, is now obsolete and outdated, as the Nazarene Christians or Muslims claim.
A person who belongs to any of these classes is a Torah denier. A person who separates himself from the community, even if he does not commit a transgression, but separates himself from the congregation of Israel, does not fulfill the religious precepts in common with his people, does not observe his fasts and follows his own ways as if he were a gentile and did not belong to the people of Israel. Such a person has no portion in the world to come!!!
Another sad aspect of an apostate Jew is the speed with which he usually becomes an anti-Semite.
In conclusion, our answer to the question of how Jewish a Jew is according to Jesus or a Messianic Jew is very clear: he has no part in the Jewish Community, no part in the faith of Israel, and no place in the State of Israel.
Our advice is that people who have by chance become involved in such practices should re-examine their position and their tragic mistake and, giving up their apostasy, return to their people, their heritage and to the God of their Fathers!!!
