Judaizing Blasphemy
Judaizing assumes the Old Testament is Jewish and the New Testament Christian, a blasphemous idea.
The entire history of Christianity, including pre-Christ, points to Christ's birth.

Talmudic Influence
The Talmud teaches that Jews are human and non-Jews (Goyim) are less than human, like beasts.
Judaizing suggests that Christians need "Jew stuff" to be better, aligning with this Talmudic view.

Judaizing has been a problem in the Church from the beginning. Even St. Peter fell prey to the Judaizers and their attempt to import into Christianity the false beliefs of Judaism. Today, Judaizing takes a number of forms. In this episode, we will cover circumcision, the use of “Yahweh” (and “Yeshua”), and several related matters.
As Christians, we must always ask ourselves both what the source of the thing is and what the purpose of the thing is. When it comes to Judaizing, the source is not God and the purpose is from Satan. The Jews do not have a special relationship with God or even any relationship with God, because they rejected His Son, and the Word of Scripture is clear:
No one who denies the Son has the Father. Whoever confesses the Son has the Father also.
Why would we, as Christians, who have the Son by Faith, ask the Jews, who reject the Son and therefore do not have the Father, anything about religion?
What accord has Christ with Belial? Or what portion does a believer share with an unbeliever? What agreement has the temple of God with idols?
