Is JUDAISM the Religion of Moses? - Part 1 - Ernest L Martin - December 1960

Ernest L Martin

People assume that Judaism is the religion of Moses - that Jesus brought a message opposed to the Old Testament - that He came to nullify the teaching of Moses. It is taken for granted that the New Testament presents a Gentile religion and that the Old Testament teaches Judaism! Yet all these assumptions are absolutely false! Shocking though it may seem, history proves that Judaism is not the religion of the Old Testament Scriptures. Judaism is plainly and simply the religion of the Jews - a religion manufactured by their own ingenuity. The Jews of Roman times had appropriated the name of Moses as the author of their religion - but in actuality, they had rejected Moses. Jesus said: "Had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me... but ye believe not his writings" (John 5:46, 47). The Jews used the name of Moses, but they didn't practice what he commanded. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
