Dennis Prager is a good conservative, and he’s good when that is what he is arguing for, however, he leaves me when he leaves off arguing for conservative issues, and starts pushing Judaism, and that to a largely Christian conservative audience. This lead article of his is prime example.
I’ve heard his program quite a few times, it seems lately more and more Judaism has become the purpose of his radio show. I’ve even heard him on quite a few occasions pushing the Jewish Kabbalah, which he apparently believes in quite devoutly. Which is a pagan-Gnostic mixture of mysticism, sorcery, witchcraft, and magic. I find that incredible. Does he not know that such things might be fine and dandy with him and his fellow Kabbalists, but is abominable to Bible believing Christianity?
Meanwhile, never have I heard him even mention Jesus Christ. Does he believe, like most Jews, Jesus Christ is a hoax? He pushes antichristian Judaism, never revealing to his mostly Christian conservative audience what he believes about Christ.
The dispensationalists and the John Hagee types eat it all up, of course, Prager like a pied piper leading them around by the nose. Never catching what Prager is doing. I mentioned John Hagee, he has gone so far with his dual covenant doctrine that he has written in one of his books that Jesus is not the Messiah. Hagee has Jews so special that they don’t need Jesus to be saved, they have their own covenant.
As to the dispensationalists, since what they believe is nothing but a form of Judaized Eschatology anyway, they are lock-step with anything Prager does. Kabbalist witchcraft and all.
Dispensationalist make the mistake of identifying modern Judaism with Old Testament Judaism. What they fail to realize is Old Testament Judaism and modern day Talmudic/Kabbalist Judaism are two very different things. Modern day Judaism is a syncretism of Torah and Pagan philosophy (Kabbalah). Similar to the syncretism of their forefathers, which caused them to be carried away to Babylon. The Talmud and Kabbalah are not the Bible, they are extrabiblical, similar to what the book of Mormon is to Mormonism.
Dispensationalists, of course, could care less, God’s chosen people have an unconditional relationship with God. Jeremiah wouldn’t agree with them.
Hagee: "Jesus did not come as the Messiah"
I don´t think Prager ¨pushes¨ Judaism more than it frames his understanding of the world in general. Judaism professes great tolerance and insists that all peoples - Jew and non-Jew alike - will have a share in the world to come.
And I´ve also heard him say many times of Kabalah that it´s too mystical for his tastes, and that he´s not really into mysticism at all.
When he mentions Jesus it´s in the most reverential terms. He was feted a year or two ago by an Arvada CO church for a night in support of Israel just off a plane from Puerto Rico in which American Airlines had lost his luggage and was given a kippah by a Christian at the church. His talk at that event was about Judeo-Christian America and how unique that is in the world.
I´d listen just a little more closely.
Where do you get this stuff? Some people take Kabbalah too far to be sure but they are not mainstream Judaism.
On the other hand, Chritianity is the syncretic religion. It is the original mormonism. The New Testament is "not in the (Hebrew)bible".
Many other religions at the time of Jesus taught..a virgin birth...resurrected gods...a sacred meal (eucharist)...a god-man hybrid savior..etc.
None of these are even remotely Jewish teaching. They were grafted into the new testament by grecco-roman thought.
ROFLMAO
I believe Jews are the Chosen People - and in my own cowardly little way - I'm thankful I don't have to take the pressure and challenges they've had to face and will face in the future. My home, attic and basement will always be available to protect Jews from their enemies - my voice and heart also.
Christians are the evangelicals - recruiting heathens to the Hebrew God. Remember sasportas, we're on the same team with the Jews.
