Egyptian Magic: Torah-Breaking Miracles & Ministry Practices
The Egyptian Magic of J-man's Miracles & Teachings:
The following aspects of J-man break Torah & thereby disqualify him as the moshiach.
The church and church scriptures declare that J-man performed many miracles while he was alive. I was not there, so I obviously cannot verify nor deny this.
What I can do, however, is look at the stated miracles and compare them to Torah and the Tanakh and see if such actions are miracles, or if they violate Hashem's law. When comparing most of the miracles of J-man to Torah reveals that most of the miracles actually violate Torah. As such, if J-man did perform miracles, they were likely in the tune of the miracles of the Egyptian Magicians. Yes, they mimicked Hashem's miracles, but at a point the Egyptian Magicians could not do what only Hashem can do.
The raising of the Dead
In Torah, touching a dead body defiles a person and requires a specific cleansing ritual, which J-man never performed.
Without performing the cleansing ritual, Torah necessitates that he be cut off from the nation of Israel and the Jewish people forever (Numbers 19:13).
If J-man was "high priest," then even being in a room with a dead person would defile him and would make him disqualified to perform priestly duties and he must be cut off from Israel and the Jewish people forever (Leviticus 22:3-4).
Healing People with Leprosy
Touching a person with leprosy makes a person unclean and necessitates a cleansing ritual (Leviticus 13-15). J-man never performed this ritual.
To declare a leper clean, there is a period of isolation for at least 7 days and then the person must be reexamined by a priest to confirm that he is in fact clean. Then, if the person is clean, there are a litany of other cleansing rituals that must be performed before the final declaration of "clean" can be made (Leviticus 12-15).
The J-man never performed or called for any of these practices to be performed. He just declared "you are clean" without any verification or witness of the priesthood. According to Torah, such statement, then cannot be accepted as truth.
The Miracle of Wine
The first miracle of J-man was to turn water into an abundance of wine when the people at a wedding ran out of wine.
This "miracle" of abundant wine seems to fulfill the prophecy about the false prophet in Micah 2:6-11.
If we take into consideration the rest of Hashem's word, we learn that Hashem states that He (Hashem) is the source of Living Water, and His Torah the Tree of life. Breaking Torah indeed will turn water (truth of the Holy Scriptures) in to wine (the wrath of Hashem, which will be poured out in Hashem's chosen time), which ultimately will lead to death of the unrighteous.
J-man is called a Nazarine. Yes, he lived in Nazareth, but the name is likely referring to Numbers 6 and the Nazarite vow.
If so, drinking wine would disqualify all vows that he made to Hashem.
Also, if he took the Nazarite vow, his blood certainly could not "become wine," as that would be in direct conflict with the Nazarite vow.
J-man declares an Adulterous Woman clean
Again, J-man makes the proclamation without the priestly practices proscribed in Torah that allow a priest to make the determination of cleanliness (Numbers 5:11-31).
Such a declaration, then, is nothing more than words.
J-man declares clean a woman with an issue of profuse bleeding for 12 years without the priestly practices of Torah that would allow him to make such a declaration.
Even is she stopped bleeding, there are a litany of laws that should have been followed according to Torah in order to make the declaration that she was clean (Leviticus 15).
In the church scriptures, J-men tells everyone to "sell all that they have and follow (him)".
This is not of Hashem.
When the real Moshiach comes, people will not have to give up or lack anything. Abundance will so fill the earth that people will be able to come, eat, drink, and buy without money (Isaiah 55:1-3).
The wealth of the Jews will be restored (Deuteronomy 30:3-13).
All that has been stolen will be recovered (Joel 2:25-27, Zechariah 9:12-17; Isaiah 61:4-9).
J-man "expounded on Torah," rather, he added extra layers to it.
For example, when talking about Hashem's law to not commit adultery, J-man added, "If you look a woman with lust, you have committed the sin of adultery."
He (or one of his disciples) also says that, "If you fail to keep one law, you have failed to keep them all," which is simply categorically not true according to Torah.
J-man says no one needs to follow Kosher laws because "it is not what goes into your body that makes you unclean, but what comes out of it."
J-man says you do not need to follow the commands about washing before meals.
This law is given for priests, mainly in the temple.
J-man is considered to be "The High Priest" in the church system, so at the very least, he should not have disqualified himself in the matter.
J-man mocked the tithes of herbs, which is part of the commanded portion for the Levites of ALL produce and grain of any harvest in Israel.
These additions break Torah, which says that nothing should be added to or taken away from Torah (Deuteronomy 4:1-2).
His disciples say circumcision is not needed in order to receive salvation.
Genesis 17: circumcision is the mark that denotes a male belongs to Hashem and is marked out for Hashem's blessing.
Yes, this does extend to the people who descended from Ishmael (who were circumcised with Abram) on the earthly realm.
Since they were born of Abraham, the earthly blessing made to Hagar stands. Just as Hashem will never revoke a promise to the Jews, so Hashem will never revoke any other promise He has made.
The blessing of Ishmael is earthly, not eternal. It is for land alone, as a nation of "hunters".
Circumcision is an Eternal Covenant between Hashem and the Jewish people, which are the descendants of Issac.
To the Jewish people, circumcision is like a wedding vow that cannot be broken. This vow was the first of many which Hashem made with the Jewish people.
The Blessings of circumcision are extended to gentiles who unite themselves to Hashem through the Jewish faith and are circumcised (if male). Consider Exodus 12:48.
Considering Exodus 12:48: since believers in J-man do not need to be circumcised, they therefore would not be covered by the blood of the Passover Lamb.
Like the Egyptians, they would die, not live, in the Exodus. Hashem tells us in the Torah and Tanakh to remember the Exodus daily as if we were taken out of Egypt along with the Hebrews. If you are not covered by life (the blood of the Passover), you are consigned to death.
If there is no circumcision there is no Jewish people.
Without any Jewish people, there is no blessing on earth (Genesis 12:1-3), since ALL blessing extends from keeping Torah (Deuteronomy 7, 11, 27).
Torah was given to the Jewish people and no one else (Deuteronomy 4:7-8; Psalms 147:20).
J-man told his disciples it was ok to pick grain on Shabbat. J-man also habitually healed on Shabbat, claiming he is "Lord over the Sabbath."
Any work on Shabbat is against Torah.
Picking grain/harvesting is the one activity that Hashem has specifically commanded against on Shabbat (harvesting, plowing, sowing and reaping), in honor of remembering the freedom form harsh labor, which Hashem provided to the Jewish people through the Exodus (Exodus 34:21).
Gathering even the smallest morsel of manna was strictly prohibited on Shabbat (Exodus 16:26).
This prohibition extends to grain.
A man who gathered wood on Shabbat is killed in the Torah.
Such a story can be used to understand how picking grain is also prohibited (Numbers 15:32-36).
Picking grain on Shabbat would also mean that the disciples did not gather their food on Friday in a manner that ensured they had enough food to last through Shabbat. At whose behest?
Disciples of J-man are said to have "the Keys to the Kingdom" (of David and of Heaven).
This fulfills a prophecy in Isaiah 22 about a priest who is "given the keys," he has his kingdom stand firm for a time, but in the end the keys were given so that he would be "cut off forever".
Thus, holding such keys is not a blessing, but a curse.
In general, the J-man led people AWAY from Torah.
The church teaches that the Torah no longer is relevant for "believers" because it was fulfilled in the J-man.
Some sects teach that you must not sin, yet at the same time tell the congregants they do not have to follow Torah.
Not keeping Torah is a huge problem according to Hashem, who states that destruction, disaster, and punishment comes when a person does not keep His laws. (Leviticus 26:14-46).
Anyone who leads people away from Torah leads people away from Hashem and all blessing.
