[Zionist Conspirator]

The Old Testament is filled with examples of the Jewish people abandoning God. And the rebellion of the Jews against God is talked about repeated. Moses stated it, Joshua stated it, Isaiah stated it, Jeremiah stated it, etc.

Indeed it is. And every time it happened was because the Jews strayed from the Torah.

You know, like chrstians want them to do???

And every time it happened was because the Jews strayed from the Torah.

The problem isn't that we stray from following God's law. As Moses pointed out, we DON'T want to keep God's law. "Straying" from it is just simply an excuse.

I'm reminded of the incident in Jeremiah:

Jer 42:1-43:2 Then all the commanders of the forces, and Johanan the son of Kareah and Jezaniah the son of Hoshaiah, and all the people from the least to the greatest, came near and said to Jeremiah the prophet, "Let our plea for mercy come before you, and pray to the LORD your God for us, for all this remnant—because we are left with but a few, as your eyes see us—that the LORD your God may show us the way we should go, and the thing that we should do."

Jeremiah the prophet said to them, "I have heard you. Behold, I will pray to the LORD your God according to your request, and whatever the LORD answers you I will tell you. I will keep nothing back from you." Then they said to Jeremiah, "May the LORD be a true and faithful witness against us if we do not act according to all the word with which the LORD your God sends you to us. Jer 42:6 Whether it is good or bad, we will obey the voice of the LORD our God ...

At the end of ten days the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah. Then he summoned Johanan the son of Kareah and all the commanders of the forces who were with him, ... and said to them, "Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, ... If you will remain in this land, then I will build you up and not pull you down; ...

When Jeremiah finished speaking to all the people all these words of the LORD their God, with which the LORD their God had sent him to them, Azariah the son of Hoshaiah and Johanan the son of Kareah and all the insolent men said to Jeremiah, "You are telling a lie. The LORD our God did not send you to say, 'Do not go to Egypt to live there,'

Poor Jeremiah, after he told the people not to go down to Egypt, not only did they run off to Egypt but forced Jeremiah to go along. Finally the Jews ended up killing him.

It isn't that the Jews have strayed from the Torah. They rebel against the word of God-just like everyone else. It is our sinful, rebellious nature that causes this. One cannot live by the law because our hearts are openly rebellious. And no matter how much one may think they are conforming to the Torah, they will never follow it completely.

A sacrifice has been paid to atone for this behavior through Christ His Messiah. But the Jews are still in open rebellion to God's solution just as they were with God's solution spoken through Jeremiah.
