It is Judaism with its propaganda of "God's chosenness" that is the real tragedy of the Jewish people, depriving Jews of their human appearance and forcing them, on the basis of false truths gleaned from the Torah and Talmud, to harm all other peoples, presenting this harmful activity as a "godly deed." At the same time, it should be well understood that this evil does not come from the Jews themselves, but from their satanic religion.

It is no coincidence, Kaganovich, once admitted to Marshal Rokosovsky that thanks to the understanding of this difference, Stalin managed to forge him from a hardened Zionist into a man who learned to love everything Russian. This is how the Russian traveler, biologist, anthropologist G. Sidorov describes this testimony of Kaganovich in his book "The Fate of Those Who Think They Are Gods":

"Once, after another scolding about incorrectly selected Kaganovich cadres, Stalin relented, said that he understands us Jews, andvery sorry. Take, for example, our national upbringing who we are from childhoodforced to copy? Some scum and scoundrels. But these scum are our not just heroes or saints, but also patriarchs.

After looking at me and after a pause, Joseph Vissarionovich suddenly asked a question, I know Am I the story of the forefather Jacob? Naturally, I said that I knew his story.

Then Joseph Vissarionovich asked me again:

- What do you think, Lazar Moiseevich, is it normal if Jacob became quarrel over the birthright with your brother while still in the womb? Being inwomb, he wanted to delay the birth of his brother and was born,behind his heel. And then, taking advantage of his hunger, Jacob takes from himbirthright for lentil stew. Not only that, he deceived his dying manfather, pretending to be Esau, and thus appropriating for himself what was not intended for him blessing.

I said nothing, and Stalin continued with a grin:

- The trouble is that this disgusting act was not condemned by Judaism, but recognized great. Or I'm wrong?

And then it just dawned on me what Joseph was trying to tell me Vissarionovich. That our religion is fundamentally flawed. She doesn't matchhuman morality.

“No, you’re not mistaken,” I said then. “So it is ...

- Maybe now you can tell me what happened next? - screwed up his dark eyes Joseph Vissarionovich.

“After deceiving his father, Jacob runs to his uncle,” I began to recall, “where he will marry.

- And for twenty years he has been deceiving his father-in-law when dividing the offspring, right?
Stalin knew details that were unknown to me. Meanwhile, he continued:

“Perhaps,” I muttered.

- And now let's remember together how Jacob's struggle with the spirit of the night ended? - Stalin clearly wanted to finish the topic of Jacob.- It seems that God told him that from now on Jacob's name will be Israel.What does it mean, it seems, "winner"? Good hero! The main weapon ofit is a lie. What is the conclusion from all of this? Only the one that is laid inmyth. If you want to win, use a subtle lie? Or am I something wrong understood?

- That's right, - then I was completely confused.

- Think about it, dear Lazar Moiseevich, where you are called by such the Saints? But you have them all and liars and scoundrels. Do you know what I think?Unhappy people who have such ideals to follow.

With these words, Joseph Vissarionovich left my office. When behind him the door closed, I sat for several hours thinking. Stalin touched him with his wordsIn me the most intimate, that which we, Jews, as a rule, do not think about. And Irealized that Stalin was right - my people were cruelly deceived, deceived from the womb mother, and some evil forces are using it ...

After that memorable conversation, Kaganovich wondered more than once why in mythology of all, without exception, the peoples of the Earth, among the same Papuans, Melanesians orblacks, ancestors - great heroes, as a rule, are depicted as people of the highesttrial: they are noble, just, honest, not deceitful and not cruel. Only among Jews everything is the other way around - their patriarchs and heroes - everything is as if on selection: Father Abraham for crime and immorality of behavior kicked out of the Sumerian Ur. VIn Egypt, he gave his wife Sarah as a concubine to the Pharaoh, in fact, he began to trade in her.

It is disgusting to remember the forefather Jacob. When the son of Prince Sekhem fell in love with his daughter, his father Hamor, invited Jacob to unite the two tribes by ties of kinship.Moreover, the king of Sekhem gave the Jews part of his lands - they say, live next tous and get rich. But the cunning Jacob told Hamor that he would accept the king's offer.only if the male population of Sekhem accepts circumcision.The simple-minded Sechemites circumcised themselves, and three days later, when their wounds were moreall were inflamed and they could not move, the people and sons of Jacob treacherouslythey attacked them and killed them all - both King Sechem and his stupid son. And then they took awayto themselves all the women of Sechem and, having plundered the city, they set it on fire.

Clever Lazarus Moiseevich understood that Jacob had committed a heinous crime. But before him in any waydid not understand why the Jews killed the Sekhemians. After all, the latter actually acceptedJudaism. So, it’s not a matter of religion, Kaganovich thought, but something else. Then what?Is it really in the “chosen ones” themselves, in their nature brought up on the Torah and Talmud? Butit turns out that she is such a nature, where lies are in the first place,greed and cruelty, someone needs it.

I wonder who? - thought Lazarus Moiseevich. Are those unknowns who once helped Moses to bringJews from Egypt? And Kaganovich risked asking Stalin about it. After listening to the question,

tormenting Kaganovich, Joseph Vissarionovich was silent for several minutes, and then quietly and distinctly said:

- It's good that you are thinking about the fate of your people. And for sure understand in what position he is. Not at its best. Therefore, to your peopleneed help. If we succeed in transforming Jews into free and independentoutside influence of people, by this we will save not only them, but also many others peoples.

Lazar Moiseevich remembered this conversation with Stalin all his life. And when at the moment the death of the USSR, young reformers turned to Kaganovich for help, Lazar Moiseevichfrankly laughed at them. He told them directly that the idea of ​​death Soviet Union- notthem, and those who control everyone, that she is not the best, and added that they have nothingit will work out. Russia and the Russian people are that indestructible rock about which the West will smash itself forehead, because both they and their owners do not know the law of time. And now he works for Russia ...

Another thing is important: Stalin, having secured support of Jews, who understand the essence of the problem, was able not only to split the "chosen of God" andto tear some of them away from their masters, but also to bring up a new generation of Jews in the USSR, whichceased to consider themselves "chosen by God." For the first time in their entire centuries-old history, Jewslearned the joy of creative work. They went to work as workers in mines and factories.

Contrary to the Talmud's demand not to work in exile on earth, the mass of Jews went to collective farms. Jewish collective farms arose in Crimea, Ukraine, and southern Russia. Kibbutz traditions,small rural communities, Jews moved from Russia to Israel. When it comes toHolocaust, then you need to know that the Nazis were given the task: to destroy, first of all,Soviet Jews. They put Polish and German in camps, and shot, first of all,Russian Jews.

They died, of course, not 6 million, but much less, but this is not the case. changes. On the territory of Ukraine, Belarus, Smolensk region and in other western regionsAlmost all Jews were shot in the Soviet Union. It was a cruel punishment fordisobedience to their invisible masters. A Jew who has departed from the Talmudic tradition,must die - that is the law. "

It is no coincidence that the Russian physicist Professor S. Sall stated the following in one of his speeches: "It is especially important that at least a small part of international Jewry and Freemasonry wake up, which blindly serves the absolutely criminal anti-human system built by the Illuminati. As I said, the" new world order "as a system of electronic fascism, Jewry and Freemasonry are not needed." order "is a system for" cleaning "the Earth from humanity for infernal creatures. Unfortunately, few people understand this."

I hope that adequate people from among the Jews and Masons will be able to draw the correct conclusions and stop serving inhuman creatures, stop helping them to destroy the peoples of the Earth and bring closer their own destruction and death of all mankind.

Theologians of all nations have worn out a lot of "stationery" for almost 2000 years, talking about the essence of Christianity. Not knowing their works, the Russian people put their assessment into the proverb: “ Christ endured and commanded us».

Why did the love of God not enter into life? Why did the Christian powers collapse one after another over the past three centuries: first England, then France, then Russia and Germany? Did they collapse not by themselves, but under the blows of the Jewish capital? (Cm. ist. fourteen, ist. 29).

And why did Christians think more and more about the “yellow devil” - gold, and not about the salvation of the soul?

What exactly did he tell to endure Christ from the "New Testament" and what did he urge to follow? What did he actually bring to people?

Most believe that the "Sermon on the Mount" (the Gospel of Matthew, chapters 5, 6, 7; Luke, chapters 6, 20-49) commanded people to Christian love for each other and kindness. "Christian love for one's neighbor" you invented yourself. The Gospel of Luke ch. 12 reads clearly:

« 51. Do you think that I have come to give peace to the Earth? No, I tell you, but separation; 52. for henceforth five in one house are divided by statute, three against two, and two against three. 53. the father will be against the son and the son against the father; mother against daughter, and daughter against mother; mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law, and daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law».

And the Sermon on the Mount goes beyond the well-known words:

« 3. Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

4. Blessed are those who weep, for they will be comforted.

5. Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.

6. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be satisfied.

7. Blessed are the merciful, for they will have mercy.

8. Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.

9. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God

10. Blessed are those cast out for righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. (...)

21. You have heard what was said by the ancients: do not kill, whoever kills is subject to judgment.

22. But I tell you that everyone who is angry with his brother in vain is subject to judgment. (...)

27. You have heard what the ancients said: do not commit adultery.

28. But I tell you that everyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart. (...)

38. You have heard that it is said: an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.

39. But I say to you: do not resist the evil one. But whoever hits you on your right cheek, turn the other to him. (...)

43. You have heard that it is said: love your neighbor and hate your enemy.

44. But I say to you: love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who offend you and persecute you.

Ch. 6: 14. For if you forgive people their sins, then your Heavenly Father will also forgive you. 15. And if you do not forgive people their sins, your Father will not forgive you your sins».

It seems that if everyone lives according to the commandments of Christ, then justice will reign on earth and the "Kingdom of Heaven" will descend to earth. All of the above is really the commandment of Good, Good sacrificing itself in the name of prayer for other people's sins.

They usually think that “ New Testament”Denies the“ Old ”that the“ Great God ”descended to other nations, and not only to God's chosen tribe, which rejected the coming of the Savior, and since then has been vegetating in sin ... Do not delude yourself!

Read the entire gospel , and not just those places that caress your soul.

Christ said in the same "Sermon on the Mount" Gospel of Matthew, ch. 5: " 17. Do not think that I came to break the law or the prophets: I did not come to break the law, but to fulfill it. 18. For truly I say to you, until heaven and earth pass, not one jot or one tittle will pass from the law, until all is fulfilled.". Naturally, we are talking about the law given by "God the Father" Jesus through Moses. Do not turn away - "God the Father" is the essence of Jehovah. Evidence to the contrary is artificial, far-fetched, sinning a substitution of concepts and is misinterpretation Of the "New Testament". And Jesus promises that he will fulfill everything that was decided by "God" through Moses and the prophets of Israel.

Jesus came to fulfill what was promised to Israel in "Deuteronomy". Ch. 28 begins with a promise: " … The Lord thy God will set you up above all the peoples of the earth; (...) 12. (...) and you will lend to many nations, but you yourself will not borrow[and you will rule over many nations, but they will not rule over you]. 13. The Lord will make you[Your god] the head, not the tail, and you will only be on top, and not be below ...". The promise of eternal poverty must also be fulfilled: “ for the poor will always be in the midst of the earth[yours] ". ("Deuteronomy" ch. 15:11).

And besides the parable of the neighbor (Gospel of Luke, ch. 10: 29-37) there is another attitude towards the goy. Gospel of Matthew, ch. 15:

« 22. And now the Canaanite woman, coming out of those places, shouted to Him: Have mercy on me, O Lord, son of David, my daughter is violently raging. 23. But he did not answer her a word. And His disciples came near, and asked Him: Let her go, because she is shouting after us. 24. He answered and said: I am sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel (emphasized by us - author). 25. And she, coming up, bowed to Him and said: Lord! help me. 26. He said in response: it is not good to take bread from children and throw it to the dogs (emphasized by us - author). Goy is a dog, as in the Talmud: "His (goy) seed is considered as the seed of the cattle" - an addition to the treatise Ketubot. And although further "the Lord" and "descended": "27. She said: so, Lord! but the dogs also eat the crumbs that fall from the table of their masters. 28. Then Jesus answered and said to her: O woman! great is your faith; let it be to you according to your desire. And her daughter was healed at that hour».

But this is an analogue of the fact that a faithful dog needs to be petted so as not to bite the master. And the Canaanite woman recognized her bestial, faithful condition in relation to the masters of the Jews. And this is not the only place of this kind in the New Testament.

Having been baptized, the God-equal Dazhbod grandchildren - the SLAVS - became only service dogs "GOD" of the chosen slaves God's Jews. True, not too faithful dogs, but became ...
And everyone who reads the Gospels and other books of the "New Testament" not in the blindness of faith object to this can not: NOTHING TO OBJECT. For this reason, celebrating the millennium of the baptism of Rus is the same as celebrating the anniversary of the death of the Russian Land at the arrival of Batu, who, by the way, was also brought to Russia by Jewish emissaries.

The good carried by Christianity at the level consciousness, accompanied by the introduction of Evil into the subconscious. As in the example with the Canaanite woman: "God" at the level of consciousness did good - healed; and on the subconscious level he did Evil - turned a man into a brute... This is spiritual aggression! Christianity is an undercrowded snake, vilely killing the soul.

And look, every page of the New Testament is replete with references to parallel passages of the Old Testament. The Talmud is a commentary on the Old Testament, and to itself, intended for the Jews. "New Testament" referring all the time to the "Old Testament" - Talmud for Christians, although not named so. It is no coincidence that the "Old Testament" is recognized by Christianity. He introduces into the subconscious of Christianity stereotypes of the attitude towards Jews as a people chosen by God, superior to Christians.

An example of this is the stereotype: "Love the Jews, and everything will be fine if you listen to them." As long as Pharaoh in Egypt obeys Joseph, everything is going well. When Pharaoh disobeys Moses, then Egypt befalls all sorts of troubles (see "Genesis", "Exodus"). An analogue from close times: in the United States, England, "anti-Semitism" as a developed social phenomenon over the past two centuries has not been - the United States, England are flourishing. There was “anti-Semitism” in Russia, pogroms were regularly carried out - Russia collapsed and is now begging; Germany turned to state "anti-Semitism" and collapsed in the first world war and was split after the second.
And in Switzerland there is no "anti-Semitism" - and everything is fine.

But in life, a Christian's reaction to the behavior of “God's chosen” in accordance with the Law of Moses is consciousness- to resist, and at the level subconscious- to tremble before a Jew and love him with "Christian love." That is, there are grounds for a struggle within Christianity about the measure of love for the Jews, which took place during all three "Russian" revolutions. Consistent attitude, clear position of Christianity about least and ORIENTATION love is not and cannot be. And the Christian prays for the coming to earth of the kingdom of the Jewish god.

Christ taught to pray like this:

« Our Father who art in heaven! hallowed be thy name; may your kingdom pass away; Thy will be done on earth as in heaven"(Matthew 6: 9-10).

Christ turns to God the Father - "God" who gave the "Old Testament" and the "Law of Moses", which all Jews follow. So the prayer "Our Father" is about the coming to Earth of the kingdom of the Jewish tribal god. Do not flatter yourself, Christianity is not an alternative to Judaism that overcame its Nazism, but an export modification of Judaism, creating which exporters pursued a specific goal.
And the Gospels themselves speak about all this.

Now let us leave aside theology and move on to analyzing the place of Christianity in the history of Euro-American civilization.

Christianity was born in fulfillment of the will of the global Jewish predictor, who after 230 BC. NS. over the next two centuries, it awakened to the development of expansion. Little Judea could not crush Rome by military force, but then the path of aggression remained by the method of "cultural cooperation", as the Egyptian priests did. Judea gave God to Rome, and Rome sacrificed "itself" to this "god". This was the first victim, a bloody sacrifice, but not the last.

Christianity carries a number of features, TOTALITY which can't be random .

The global conceptual power of the Jewish leadership faced a difficult task. The cult, introduced into the world external to Judaism, was supposed to have, first, an attractiveness for the ruling elite of the devoured countries, combined with an attractiveness for the exploited masses; secondly, he had to protect the existing Jewish conceptual power from the threat of the emergence in the countries covered by a new cult of their own conceptual power, resistant to degradation with the change of generations; Jehovah "to the Jews, their inability to anti-Jewish revolt, and even more so to the destruction of Judaism.

Christianity meets all of these requirements.

It suits the ruling elite of any antagonistic class formation. Christianity demands to be loyal: "give what is Caesar's to Caesar, but God's things to God."
(Matthew, ch. 22:21). Christ praises in parables the slaves devoted to the master: “ well, good and faithful servant, you were faithful in little things, I will put you over many; enter into the joy of your master", And censures the bad slave who did not bring profit to the master:" Throw the unworthy servant into the outer darkness: there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Having said this, he cried out: He who has ears to hear, let him hear!"(Ibid, Ch. 25: 14-30). In a variation of the same parable in the Gospel of Luke (ch. 19:27) " Savior"ends her reprisal over the political opponents of the master, this reprisal is not connected with the plot of the story of the augmentation of the king's wealth by the slaves: “ but those my enemies who did not want me to reign over them, bring them here and slay them before me. 28. Having said this, He(Jesus - author) went further, ascending to Jerusalem". Why was such an end necessary? And then, to make it clear the permissibility of those in power to deal with opponents. At the level consciousness"Thou shalt not kill", but at the level subconscious: "Kill", although kindness would require CONVINCING. But you can kill, especially since the road is always open for the "salvation of the soul" of any sinner. Already at Calvary, the Gospel of Luke, ch. 23:

« 39. One of the hanged evildoers reviled Him and said: If you are the Christ, save yourself and us. 40. The other, on the contrary, calmed him down and said: or are you not afraid of God when you yourself are condemned to the same? 41. and we are condemned fair because they received what was worthy according to our works, but He did nothing wrong. 42. And he said to Jesus: remember me, Lord, when you come into your kingdom! 43. And Jesus said to him, Truly I say to you, today you will be with me in paradise».

That is, you can live your whole life, but at the last moment of your life to appeal to the Savior - and your soul is saved, just like after a righteous life.

After an unrighteous life, a person leaves behind a strip of inferno, crippling the soul, which leads to further expansion of inferno in life, but this is not punishable. This is a "godly deed" - to bring people inferno. At the same time, Christianity consoles the poor by smoothing out class antagonisms; Christ is the god of the poor, he is pleasing to them too. To the poor, exploited masses, Jesus says that there is no need to envy the rich on earth: “ hard(Difficult and impossible are different concepts: "difficult" - "possible, but with the application of effort", including for a special fee; "impossible" - "impossible" - auth.) a rich man to enter the Kingdom of Heaven; and I tell you again: it is more convenient for a camel to pass through the ears of a needle than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of God". (Gospel of Matthew, ch. 19: 20-24). And in order to finally convince everyone, "The Gospel of Luke" ch. 16 gives a parable:

« 22. The beggar died (Lazarus - author) and was carried by the Angels into the bosom of Abraham. The rich man also died and was buried. 23. And in hell, being in torment, he lifted up his eyes, and saw Abraham in the distance and Lazarus in his bosom. 24. and crying out, he said; Father Abraham! Have mercy on me and send Lazarus to dip the end of his finger in water and cool my tongue, for I am tormented in this flame. 25. But Abraham said: child! remember that you have already received your good in your life, and Lazarus - evil; now he is comforted here, and you are suffering; 26. And besides all this, a great gulf is established between us and you, so that those who wish to pass from here to you cannot, and also from there they do not pass to us. 27. Then he said: I beg you, father, send him to my father's house, 28. For I have five brothers; let him testify to them that they also do not come to this place of torment. 29, Abraham said to him: They have Moses and the prophets; let them listen to them. 30. He said: no, father Abraham, but if one from the dead comes to them, they will repent. 31. Then Abraham said to him: if they do not listen to Moses and the prophets, then if someone is raised from the dead, they will not believe».

Think about this parable: it is not only about the poor and the rich.

Since Christianity relies on the "Old Testament", then the "Old Testament" together with the "New Testament" split the integrity of the Christian's worldview in the same way as the Jew, which has already been written about earlier. Likewise, the soul's ability to self-rule and self-improvement is impaired. Lack of improvement - degradation... And this was confirmed by the "Savior":

« 24. A disciple is not higher than a teacher, and a servant is not higher than his master: 25. It is enough for a disciple to be like his teacher, and for a servant to be like his master"(Matthew ch. 10: 24-25).

But in time the student stands on the shoulders of the teacher, and the student is not a servant of the teacher, but a receiver of Knowledge. And the teacher is bad who has not raised the student above himself. But the worst of all is the “teacher” who said: “ The student is not higher than the teacher". Jesus' thesis is true if the teacher is the Supreme Lord Teacher, but in the scriptures the word "teacher" is not capitalized, that is, the teacher is a person, not the Supreme.

Impossible believe at the same time what is intended in Christianity for the rich and for the poor are two mutually exclusive information layers. This mutual exclusion is partly overcome by the proverb: “ If you do not sin, you will not repent; if you do not repent, you will not be saved!”But with the split integrity of the worldview, this contradictoriness is not paid attention or other interpretations are given. Although the broken integrity of the perception of the world inevitably leads to a violation of the harmony of the world and, consequently, "sinfulness."

Christianity, along with Judaism, protects Jewish conceptual power - a global predictor. This is manifested primarily in the fact that the biblical story is not chronicled. It does not have a countdown of time, and with the exception of individual legends, it does not have a clearly expressed rhythm with which historical processes are associated: for this reason, the "Bible" is not only outside the nature of the Earth, but also outside the time of Mankind. This is a defense aimed at suppressing the patterns of social time in the subconscious of a person, depressing the very interest in the History of Humanity.

But there are also a number of direct instructions aimed at protecting the global predictor.

The Gospel of Luke ch. 9:62: " ... no one who puts his hand on the plow and looks back is not trustworthy for the Kingdom of God". That is, plow, guys; only forward! what you leave behind is not your business. Don't remember the past! Knowing it is a burden!

Kozma Prutkov had a different point of view on this issue: “The present is a consequence of the past, and therefore ceaselessly look at your backside than save yourself from notable mistakes". Jesus needs these notable mistakes, therefore, there is a call not to look back, repeated many times, coming from the "Old Testament". During the evacuation of Lot's family from doomed Sodom, the angel of the Lord also issued a valuable instruction: “Save your soul; do not look back ... "," Lot's wife looked behind him, and became a pillar of salt. " (Genesis ch. 19:17, 26).

Knowledge of the past is essential to predict the future. The ability to predict the future and the predictions themselves are the greatest mystery of the predictor, of global conceptual power.

The earliest such patristic work that has come down to us is "A Conversation with Tryphon the Jew" by St. Justin the Philosopher. The Holy Father claims that the powers of the Holy Spirit ceased to operate among the Jews with the coming of Christ (Tryph. 87). He points out that after the coming of Christ, they no longer had a single prophet. At the same time, Saint Justin emphasizes the continuation of the Old Testament actions of the Holy Spirit in the New Testament Church: “That which formerly existed in your people has passed over to us (Tryph. 82)”; so that "you can see among us both women and men having gifts of the Spirit of God" (Tryph. 88).

Tertullian (+ 220/240) in his work "Against the Jews" substantiates the divinity of Christ through the prophecies of the Old Testament, the miracles of the New Testament and the life of the Church. The Old Testament is a preparation for the New; it contains two series of prophecies about Christ: some speak of His coming in the form of a slave to suffer for the human race, the latter refer to His future coming in glory. In the face of the Lord Christ, both Covenants are united: prophecies are brought to Him, and He Himself brings the desired fulfillment.

Saint Hippolytus of Rome, in his short "Treatise against the Jews", uses quotations from the Old Testament to show the prophesied crucifixions of the Messiah and the coming calling of the Gentiles, and denounces the Jews for the fact that, when the light of truth has already been revealed, they continue to wander in darkness and stumble. Their fall and rejection were also foretold by the prophets.

The Hieromartyr Cyprian of Carthage (+ 258) left behind "Three books of testimonies against the Jews." This is a thematic selection of quotes from the Old and New Testaments. The first book contains testimonies that "the Jews, according to the predictions, departed from God and lost the grace that was given to them before ... and that their place was taken by Christians pleasing the Lord by faith and coming from all nations and from all over the world." The second part shows how the main Old Testament prophecies were fulfilled in Jesus Christ. In the third part, based on the Holy Scriptures, the commandments of Christian morality are summarized.

St. John Chrysostom (+ 407) at the end of the 4th century pronounced "Five words against the Jews", addressed to those Christians who attended synagogues and turned to Jewish rituals. The saint explains that after Christ, Judaism lost its significance, and therefore the observance of its rituals is contrary to the will of God and the observance of the Old Testament precepts now has no basis.

Blessed Augustine (+ 430) at the beginning of the 5th century wrote "Discourse against the Jews" ("Tractatus adversus Judaeos"), in which he argues that even if the Jews deserve the most severe punishment for sending Jesus to death, they were saved living by God's Providence, in order to serve together with their Scriptures as unwitting witnesses of the truth of Christianity.

The Monk Anastasios the Sinaite (+ c. 700) wrote the "Dispute Against the Jews." Here, too, the end of the time of the Old Testament law is indicated; in addition, attention is paid to the substantiation of the divinity of Jesus Christ, as well as the veneration of icons, about which the monk says: "We, Christians, worshiping the cross, we do not worship the tree, but Christ crucified on it."

In the 7th century, the Western Saint Gregentius of Tafra made a record of his dispute with the Jew Herban - the dispute took place in the presence of King Omerit. Herban, despite the arguments of the saint, continued to persist, then a miracle happened through the prayer of the saint: among the Jews present at the dispute, Christ appeared in a visible image, after which Rabbi Herban, along with five and a half thousand Jews, was baptized.

In the same century, Saint Leontius of Naples (+ c. 650) wrote an apology against the Jews. He says that the Jews, pointing to the veneration of icons, accuse Christians of idolatry, referring to the prohibition: “Do not make yourself idols and statues” (Ex. 20: 4-5). In response, Saint Leontius, referring to Ex. 25: 18 and Ezek. 41: 18, writes: “If the Jews condemn us for the images, then they should condemn God for the fact that he created them,” and continues further: “We do not worship the tree, but the One who was crucified on the cross,” and "Icons are an open book reminding us of God."

The Monk Nikita Stifatus (XI century) wrote a small "Word to the Jews", in which he recalls the termination of the Old Testament law and the rejection of Judaism: "God hated and rejected the ministry of the Jews, and their Sabbaths, and holidays," which he predicted through the prophets ...

In the 14th century, Emperor John Cantacuzin wrote Dialogue with a Jew. Here, among other things, he points out to the Jew Xenus that, according to the prophet Isaiah, the New Testament will appear from Jerusalem: “From Zion will appear the Law, and the Word of the Lord from Jerusalem” (Isa. 2: 3). It is impossible to admit that this was said about the Old Law, for it was given by God to Moses in Sinai and in the wilderness. It does not say "given," but "it will appear" from Zion. John asks Xena: if Jesus was a deceiver, then how did it happen that neither God nor the pagan emperors could destroy Christianity, which was preached throughout the world. The dialogue ends with Xen's conversion to Orthodoxy.

In the patristic writings, you can find many harsh words about the Jews, for example: "They (the Jews) all stumbled, everywhere they became criminals and traitors to the truth, there were haters of God, not God-lovers" ( Hippolytus of Rome, saint. Interpretation on the book of the prophet Daniel).

But it should be remembered that, firstly, this was fully consistent with the then concepts of conducting polemics, and secondly, the Jewish writings of the same time, including religiously authoritative ones, contained no less, and sometimes even sharper attacks and prescriptions in relation to Christians.

In general, the Talmud instills a sharply negative, contemptuous attitude towards all non-Jews, including Christians. The book of late halachic decrees "Shulchan-Aruch" prescribes, if possible, to destroy the churches of Christians and everything that belongs to them (Shulchan-Aruch. Iore de "a 146); a fortune for salvation (Iore de'a 158, 1); it is allowed to test on a Christian, brings medicine to health or death; and, finally, a Jew is charged with the obligation to kill a Jew who converted to Christianity (Iore de a 158, 1; Talmud. Aboda zara 26).

The Talmud contains many offensive, blasphemous statements about the Lord Jesus Christ and the Most Holy Theotokos. In the early Middle Ages, the anti-Christian work "Toldot Yeshu" ("Genealogy of Jesus"), full of extremely blasphemous fictions about Christ, became widespread among the Jews. In addition, there were other anti-Christian treatises in medieval Jewish literature, in particular, Sefer Zerubavel.

Relations between Orthodox Christians and Jews in history

As you know, from the very inception of Christianity, the Jews became harsh opponents and persecutors of it. Much is reported about their persecution of the apostles and early Christians in the New Testament book of the Acts of the Apostles.

Later, in 132 A.D., an uprising broke out in Palestine under the leadership of Simon Bar Kokhba. The Jewish religious leader Rabbi Akiva proclaimed him "the messiah." There is evidence that, on the recommendation of the same Rabbi Akiva, Bar-Kokhba killed Christian Jews.

After the first Christian emperor, Saint Constantine the Great, came to power in the Roman Empire, these tensions found new expressions, although many of the measures of the Christian emperors, which Jewish historians traditionally represent as persecution of Judaism, were intended simply to protect Christians from the Jews.

For example, the Jews had a custom of forcing the circumcision of the slaves they acquired, including Christians. Saint Constantine on this occasion prescribed the release of all slaves whom the Jews would incline to Judaism and circumcision; it was also forbidden for Jews to buy slaves from Christians. Then, the Jews had the custom of stoning those Jews who converted to Christianity. Saint Constantine took a number of measures to deprive them of this opportunity. In addition, from now on, the Jews did not have the right to be military service, as well as to occupy government posts, where the fate of Christians would depend on them. A person who converted from Christianity to Judaism was deprived of his property.

Julian the Apostate allowed the Jews to rebuild the Jerusalem Temple, and they quickly set about building it, but the storms and earthquakes that occurred, when even fire burst out of the ground, destroying workers and building materials, made this undertaking impossible.

The measures restricting the social position of the Jews were often caused by their actions, demonstrating civil insecurity in the eyes of the emperors. For example, under the emperor Constance in 353, the Jews of Diocesaria killed the garrison of the city and, choosing a certain Patricius as their head, began to attack neighboring villages, killing both Christians and Samaritans. This uprising was suppressed by the troops. Often, Jews who lived in Byzantine cities turned out to be traitors during wars with external enemies. For example, in 503, during the siege of Constance by the Persians, the Jews dug an underground passage outside the city and let the enemy troops in. Jews revolted in 507 and 547. Still later, in 609, in Antioch, the rebellious Jews killed many wealthy citizens, burned their houses, and they dragged Patriarch Anastasia through the streets and, after many tortures, threw him into the fire. In 610, the four thousandth Jewish population of Tire rebelled.

Speaking about Byzantine laws restricting the rights of Jews, it is worth noting that it is incorrect to interpret them as a manifestation of anti-Semitism, that is, actions directed specifically against Jews as a nationality. The fact is that these laws, as a rule, were directed not only against the Jews, but against the non-Christian inhabitants of the empire in general, in particular the pagan Greeks (Hellenes).

In addition, it should be borne in mind that Orthodox emperors also adopted decrees aimed at protecting the Jews.

Thus, Emperor Arkady (395–408) made the governors of the provinces obligated to prevent cases of insult to the Jewish patriarch (nasi) and attacks on synagogues, and indicated that local rulers should not interfere in the communal self-government of the Jews. Emperor Theodosius II in 438 also issued a decree in which the Jews were guaranteed the protection of the state in the event of a crowd attack on their homes and synagogues.

Under Theodosius II, it was discovered that the Jews on the Purim holiday started the custom of burning the cross, then in the city of Imme the Jews crucified a Christian child on the cross, and in Alexandria in 415 there were several examples of the beating of Christians by Jews. All these cases aroused both popular indignation, sometimes resulting in pogroms, and repression by the authorities.

In 529, the holy emperor Justinian I adopted new laws, restricting the rights of the Jews to property, inheritance rights, he also forbade reading Talmudic books in synagogues, and instead ordered to read only the books of the Old Testament, and in Greek either Latin... The Justinian Code prohibited Jews from any statements against the Christian religion, confirmed the prohibition of mixed marriages, as well as the transition from Orthodoxy to Judaism.

In the Orthodox West, measures were taken against the Jews similar to the Byzantine ones. For example, under the Visigothic king Ricardo in 589, the Jews of Spain were prohibited from holding government posts, having Christian slaves, subjecting their slaves to circumcision, and it was prescribed that children from mixed Jewish-Christian marriages must be baptized.

There were indeed crimes against Jews in Christian countries of the early Middle Ages, when, for example, the crowd could destroy a synagogue or beat up Jews, and some decrees of the emperors from the point of view of modern realities seem discriminatory. However, it should be borne in mind that in those cases when the Jews came to power, the Christians subordinate to them were in for a bad fate, sometimes much worse.

In the 5th century, Jewish missionaries succeeded in converting Abu Karib, king of the southern Arab kingdom of Himyar, to Judaism. His successor, Yusuf Zu-Nuwas, gained fame as a bloody persecutor and tormentor of Christians. There was no torture that Christians were not subjected to during his reign. The most massive massacre of Christians took place in 523. Zu-Nuvas treacherously captured the Christian city of Najran, after which the inhabitants were led to specially dug ditches filled with burning tar; all who refused to accept Judaism were thrown at them alive. Several years earlier, he similarly exterminated the inhabitants of the city of Zafar. In response, Byzantium's allies, the Ethiopians, invaded Himyar and put an end to this kingdom.

Cruel Jewish persecution of Christians also took place in the 610s and 620s in Palestine, which was captured by the Persians with the active support of local Jews. When the Persians besieged Jerusalem, the Jews who lived in the city, having entered into an agreement with the enemy of Byzantium, opened the gates from within, and the Persians rushed into the city. A bloody nightmare began. The churches and houses of Christians were set on fire, Christians were massacred on the spot, and in this pogrom the Jews committed atrocities even more than the Persians. According to contemporaries, 60,000 Christians were killed and 35,000 sold into slavery. Oppression and murder of Christians by Jews took place at that time in other parts of Palestine.

Persian soldiers willingly sold off the captured Christians, “the Jews, because of their enmity, bought them at a cheap price and killed them,” the Syrian historian reports. Many thousands of Christians perished in this way.

It is not surprising that at that time the emperor Heraclius treated the Jewish traitors harshly. These events largely determined the anti-Semitic sentiments of the entire European Middle Ages.

Jews often, speaking about the history of Christian-Jewish relations, pedalize the topic of forced baptisms, presenting them as a widespread and common practice for the Church in the Middle Ages. However, this picture is not true.

The tyrant Phoca in 610, after the above-mentioned Antioch revolt, issued a decree for all Jews to be baptized, and sent Prefect George with troops to Jerusalem, who, when the Jews did not agree to be baptized voluntarily, forced them to do so with the help of soldiers. The same happened in Alexandria, and then the Jews revolted, during which they killed the patriarch Theodore Scribon.

The heretic emperor Heraclius who overthrew Phokos, who imposed Monothelism, was, as already mentioned, annoyed by the betrayal of the Jews during the war with the Persians, declared Judaism outlawed and tried to forcibly baptize the Jews. At the same time, he sent letters to Western Christian rulers, urging them to do the same with the Jews.

The Visigothic king Sisebut, influenced by the letters of Heraclius, also issued a decree that the Jews should either be baptized or leave the country. According to some estimates, up to 90,000 Spanish Jews were baptized at that time, who, among other things, vowed not to engage in usury in writing. Similar steps, and for the same reason, were then taken by the Frankish king Dagobert on his lands.

The Orthodox Church reacted negatively to this attempt - both in the East and in the West.

In the East, in 632, the Monk Maximus the Confessor condemned the forcible baptism of the Jews that took place in Carthage, carried out by the local ruler in fulfillment of the will of Heraclius.

In the West, in 633, the IV Toledo Council took place, at which Saint Isidore of Seville reprimanded King Sisebut for his excessive zeal and opposed the work he had undertaken. Under his influence, the Council condemned all attempts at forcible baptism of the Jews as categorically unacceptable, declaring that one can convert to Christianity only by meek methods of verbal persuasion. Saint Isidore even asked forgiveness before the Jewish community for the "zeal" of the king. The king himself canceled his anti-Jewish decrees.

As for Byzantium, although in Carthage a case of forcible baptism of Jews was recorded, “however, with regard to the majority of Byzantine Jews of that time, the edict of 632, apparently, had no serious consequences ... There is no indication that in Greece and even in Constantinople itself it was carried out somewhat consistently ... According to the 9th century chronicler Nicephorus, it is known that already in 641, when Heraclius died, the Jews of Constantinople took part in street riots against his widow, and 20 years later - against the patriarch, and at the same time they even stormed the city cathedral - St. Sophia. "

In Byzantium, another attempt at forcible baptism was made in 721 by another heretic emperor Leo III the Isaurian, who imposed iconoclasm, issued an edict on the baptism of Jews and Montanists, which forced many Jews to emigrate from the cities of Byzantium. The Monk Theophanes the Confessor informs about this event with obvious disapproval: "This year the king forced the Jews and Montanists to be baptized, but the Jews, baptized against their will, were cleansed of baptism as of defilement, took Holy Communion after eating and thus mocked the faith" (Chronography. 714).

Jewish historians also point out that the forcible baptism of Jews allegedly took place during the reign of Emperor Basil I (867-886), but Byzantine sources, in particular the Continuer of Theophanes, although they mention Basil's desire to Christianize the Jews, testify that he did it by peaceful means - by dispensation polemical disputes and a promise for newly converted ranks and awards (Biographies of Kings. V, 95). Jewish sources (the Chronicle of Ahimaats) say that Jews who refused to be baptized were turned into slavery, and that there were even cases of torture, albeit isolated ones. Be that as it may, there is information that under Basil the Orthodox Church reacted negatively to his initiative.

Thus, four important circumstances are visible in this matter.

At first, attempts to forcibly Christianize the Jews took place later than the history-known attempts to forcibly Judaize Christians.

Secondly, these attempts were the exception, not the rule, in the politics of the Christian rulers of the early Middle Ages.

Thirdly, The Church negatively assessed these attempts and unequivocally condemned the very idea.

Fourth, in many cases these attempts were made not by Orthodox emperors, but by heretics, who also persecuted the Orthodox at that time.

Jewish authors, reluctantly speaking about the facts of conversion from Judaism to Orthodoxy known from history, are probably trying to call almost every one of them “violent” or “forced because of anti-Semitic discrimination,” that they cannot imagine that a person belonging to Judaism, is able to independently, voluntarily and reasonably make a choice in favor of Orthodoxy. However, this is confirmed by many facts, such as examples of conversions to Orthodoxy of Jews living in Catholic countries, examples of their loyalty to Christianity even to death in a communist state, examples of conversions to Orthodoxy in fascist and communist concentration camps, etc.

In general, despite the above laws, the Jews in Byzantium lived happily; it is known that Jews in other countries were amazed at their wealth and moved to the Orthodox empire; for example, it is known that Jews persecuted in Fatimid Egypt fled to Byzantium.

The fact that the Byzantines did not feel prejudice towards the Jewish nationality itself is evidenced by the fact that in the XIV century the Orthodox Jew Philotheus even became the Patriarch of Constantinople, and according to some historians, Emperor Michael II had Jewish roots.

Another popular topic in the history of Orthodox-Jewish relations is pogroms. They did indeed take place, but the desire of Jewish historians behind every such case to see an indispensable conscious inspiration on the part of the Church is, to say the least, tendentious. On the contrary, the Orthodox Church, represented by its most authoritative saints, has repeatedly condemned the actions of the pogromists. In particular, the righteous John of Kronstadt spoke out with a sharp denunciation of the Kishinev pogrom, saying: “What are you doing? Why did you become barbarians - thugs and robbers of people living in the same fatherland with you? " (My thoughts on the violence of Christians against Jews in Chisinau). Also His Holiness Patriarch Tikhon wrote: “News of Jewish pogroms is being heard ... Orthodox Russia! Yes, this shame passes by you. May this curse not befall you. May your hand not be stained with blood crying to Heaven ... Remember: pogroms are dishonor for you ”(Message of July 8, 1919).

During the Jewish pogroms in Ukraine during the period civil war, as well as on the lands occupied by German troops during the Second World War, many Orthodox priests and ordinary believers sheltered Jews in their homes, saving them. In addition, the Russian Orthodox Church blessed the soldiers of the Red Army for the feat of arms, who liberated in 1944-1945 prisoners of such camps as Auschwitz, Majdanek, Stalag, Sachsenhausen, Ozarichi, and saved hundreds of thousands of Jews from the Budapest ghetto, Terezinsky, Balta and many others ... Also, the clergy and laity of the Greek, Serbian and Bulgarian Churches during the war years took active measures to save many Jews.

In general, we can say that there were indeed many dark pages in the history of relations between Jews and Orthodox Christians, but the facts do not give grounds for presenting one of the sides of these relations as an innocent sufferer and victim, and the other as a causeless persecutor and tormentor.
