The Deuteronomy 13 Test for a False Prophet

The Deuteronomy 13 Test for a False Prophet This post may contain affiliate links. As an Amazon Associate, I may earn a commission on sales. Have you ever pondered why the Jewish people fail to grasp the profound truth that Jesus, also known as Yeshua in Hebrew, is the long-awaited Messiah prophesied by the ancient Prophets? It appears incredibly straightforward to us. We often believe that if we simply introduce them to the New Testament, they will instantly comprehend its meaning. If they refuse it, the fault lies within them. However, should we not question our own role in this? What responsibility do we bear in the matter? If you are truly committed to your mission of evangelization, then prepare yourself for the ultimate challenge: Can you effectively demonstrate to someone of Jewish faith that Yeshua is the long-awaited Messiah?  Paul's daily routine in the synagogues, as portrayed in the Book of Acts, was dedicated to spreading the truth. Countless Jews were enlightened, recognizing Yeshua as the long-awaited Messiah who selflessly atoned for our sins.
But, that is not happening so much today.
Why? It's confusing to us that Jews today have no greater understanding of the Scriptures than their ancestors did in the first century. How would you approach a conversation with someone who is Jewish? Can you effectively persuade them that Yeshua is indeed the long-awaited Messiah? Is there any reason why they might have reservations about Yeshua? During the initial fourteen years following the crucifixion, an immense number of Jews, consisting of thousands upon thousands, eagerly sought knowledge about the first arrival of their Messiah and His true identity. At that time, the focus was primarily on the Jews, with the Gentiles not yet playing a significant role. The Book of Acts provides detailed accounts of this historical reality, which is widely acknowledged and accepted. Why haven't thousands, if not tens of thousands of Jews embraced their Jewish Messiah Yeshua as they did in the first century? What altered the course of events? What caused this to cease? Are many teaching something different from what our Messiah truly taught? Are many teaching something different from what the Apostles taught? Are many teaching something different from what Paul taught? These men managed to introduce the Messiah to a multitude of Jews. What could possibly be the obstacle today? What exactly is our dilemma? There are various issues that need to be addressed, but they are not insurmountable. It is possible that these problems stem from a misinterpretation of prophecy or an excessive attachment to traditions that contradict the teachings of God's Word. This can lead to a state of blindness, as highlighted in Mark 7:13. When one's own doctrine is contrary to the Word of God, it can be challenging to perceive Yeshua as the embodiment of God's message (John 1:14; Rev. 19:13). These difficulties are particularly relevant for certain individuals within the Jewish community. While overcoming these challenges may require a considerable amount of time and patience, they are by no means insurmountable. Paul experienced both success and failure throughout his journeys. Although it is true that some of the Jews were separated from the Tree, as mentioned in Romans 11, it is important to acknowledge that many of them truly embraced the message of Yeshua. This transformation was made possible through the teachings of the Apostles, especially Paul. Let's explore the primary obstacle that often prevents Jews from embracing Yeshua (Jesus) as the long-awaited Messiah. During the first century, Paul frequently engaged in teaching the Word of God and spreading the teachings of Messiah in various synagogues.  “Immediately he preached the Christ in the synagogues, that He is the Son of God” (Acts 9:20). “Therefore he reasoned in the synagogue with the Jews and with the Gentile worshipers, and in the marketplace daily with those who happened to be there” (Acts 17:17). “And he came to Ephesus, and left them there; but he himself entered the synagogue and reasoned with the Jews” (Acts 17:17). “And he went into the synagogue and spoke boldly for three months, reasoning and persuading concerning the things of the kingdom of God” (Acts 19:8). To have impactful discussions with Jews, a deep understanding of prophecy and Yeshua's Gospel accounts is essential. Although challenging, Paul's efforts with the Jews proved fruitful on certain occasions. Additionally, as previously stated, Jewish leadership frequently opposed Paul, just as they did with Yeshua. Paul, similarly to Yeshua, posed a grave threat to the established religious system based on traditions and doctrines, which Yeshua condemned as a manifestation of lawlessness. Paul, like Yeshua in Mark 7, John 7:19, and Matthew 23, fervently denounced the traditions and doctrines that contradicted the teachings of Moses. Yeshua's message can be summarized as recognizing the goodness of what Moses wrote, while criticizing the Jewish leadership for their misguided traditions and doctrines that contradicted Moses. A significant number of Jews turned away from the misleading religious practices and traditions that arose from this theological evolution. Instead, they chose to devote themselves exclusively to the Word of God and Yeshua. As a result, the Jewish leadership grew increasingly anxious. Their nerves were rattled by the emerging threat to their power and influence.  To clarify, Yeshua and His followers did not oppose the teachings of Moses. Instead, they opposed the Oral Law or the "commandments of men", as they were known among the Jews of that day. Today, the ancient compilation of Jewish oral law is widely known and recognized as the Talmud. This sacred text encompasses the expansive wisdom that was meticulously transcribed and enriched with additional insights, thus augmenting the divine Law revealed to the Jewish people. They constructed barriers surrounding the Word of God, imposing their own intricate commandments dictating how God's people should follow His Commandments. They excessively restricted the guidelines and even created new ones. It's ironic that the same thing has happened within traditional Christianity. The construction of formidable barriers around God's Word had the unfortunate consequence of obscuring the essence of the Word itself within their teachings and behavior. Consequently, God's Word became veiled and, as Yeshua declared, rendered ineffective. A false religion was constructed, distorting the true essence of God's Word. Man-made commandments transformed God's Law into a heavy burden, to the point where it ceased to be divine and instead became a complex framework built upon God's Law.
On the Sabbath, our Creator commanded us to rest. However, the "oral law" developed numerous guidelines to determine the true essence of resting and abstaining from work. These instructions were provided by individuals who "claimed" to understand how to fulfill God's Commandments.

Instead of following God, they were actually following a mere man. In this system, men assumed the role of God. Those who held power in this oral law system started to feel their authority and practices being challenged by Yeshua and His followers. Yeshua and His Disciples were dedicated to guiding people to follow the Word of God, rather than the mere commandments of human beings. The profound impact of this approach led to the Pharisees and Sadducees making a decision to take action against those that threatened their false ways. It was necessary for them to create the impression that Yeshua was contradicting Moses' teachings, as opposing the Talmud's authority, since it did not directly originate from God's Law. They became infuriated when others refused to adhere to their doctrines and traditions outlined in the Talmud. This is where things start to get intriguing. Jewish leaders were unable to provide evidence that Yeshua and His followers went against the teachings of Moses. As a result, they resorted to fabricating false witnesses against them. Regrettably, Stephen's story is one of a Jew who strayed from his religious customs and instead chose to devote himself solely to Yeshua and the teachings of God's Word. They also set up false witnesses who said, “This man does not cease to speak blasphemous words against this holy place and the law; for we have heard him say that this Jesus of Nazareth will destroy this place and change the customs which Moses delivered to us” (Acts 6:13). It is evident that claiming that Yeshua altered the ways of God, as stated by Moses, is categorized as false testimony here. However, if this were true, it would actually constitute true testimony, rather than false testimony. Just like Yeshua, they attempted to do the exact thing. In Luke 6:1-2, they unjustly accused Him of Sabbath-breaking, when in truth, He was merely challenging Jewish traditions and doctrines. When it comes to the Law of God, there is no violation of any of His Commandments when one picks and consumes grain on the Sabbath. Nowhere in the Bible can such a commandment be found. Nonetheless, it does violate specific rabbinical commandments. The Talmud says: 'In case a woman rolls wheat to remove the husks, it is considered as sifting; if she rubs the heads of wheat, it is regarded as threshing; if she cleans off the side-adherencies, it is sifting out fruit; if she bruises the ears, it is grinding; if she throws them up in her hand, it is winnowing'" Yeshua could not have broken any of God's Commandments, as doing so would mean committing sin according to (1 John 3:4). Therefore, He remained our flawless sacrifice. If any doctrine presents Yeshua as teaching or practicing anything that contradicts the writings of Moses or any established truth in the Word, it inevitably undermines the perfection of His sacrifice. The Talmud provides specific instructions for hand washing before a meal, and interestingly, Yeshua once challenged the Pharisees' beliefs regarding this practice. “Then the Pharisees and scribes asked Him, “Why do Your disciples not walk according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashed hands?” (Mark 7:5). Observe how the Pharisees and scribes emphasize the importance of following the tradition of the elders rather than the Commandments of God. They audaciously attempt to correct and admonish Yeshua and His Disciples, solely relying on human tradition rather than divine Commandments. It is evident that washing hands is not inherently harmful; in fact, most individuals nowadays practice the habit of washing their hands before meals. The association of spiritual purity and impurity with their commandments indeed posed a significant challenge. They went as far as detailing the proper procedure for hand-washing rituals. For those interested, all the information can be found in the Jewish Talmud. It is only God who can determine the circumstances and actions that make a person clean or unclean. In their arrogance, people have exceeded their limits by assuming authority that belongs solely to God. Yeshua was motivated by this to instruct them to return solely to what Moses wrote, forsaking their futile traditions and doctrines. He urged them to re-establish their submission to God's authority, rather than placing themselves above it. “He answered and said to them, “Well did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written: ‘This people honors Me with their lips, But their heart is far from Me. And in vain they worship Me, Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men. You have let go of the commands of God and are holding on to the traditions of men.  And he said to them: “You have a fine way of setting aside the commands of God in order to observe your own traditions! For Moses said, ‘Honor your father and your mother,’ and,‘Anyone who curses his father or mother must be put to death.’ But you say that if a man says to his father or mother: ‘Whatever help you might otherwise have received from me is Corban’ (that is, a gift devoted to God), then you no longer let him do anything for his father or mother. Thus, you nullify the word of God by your tradition that you have handed down. And you do many things like that ” (Mark 7:8-13). The Jews held their ways in high regard, oblivious to their own errors. Yeshua, in Matthew 23, pointed out that despite reciting the Law of God word-for-word from Moses' Seat, they failed to actually apply it in their teachings and actions. Instead, they established their own set of commandments and practices. For example, they emphasized the importance of washing hands before partaking of bread, and adhering to the rule of not rubbing two grains together on the Sabbath. They taught two distinct sets of laws—one derived from the writings of Moses on the Seat of Moses, while the other originated from the Talmud, the oral law, which countered and invalidated the teachings of Moses. According to Yeshua, those individuals are referred to as hypocrites. He advises us to prioritize the former rather than the latter.

Only what Moses wrote would be read from this seat. Yeshua emphasized the importance of observing and doing what he said. “Then Jesus spoke to the multitudes and to His disciples, saying: “The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat. Therefore whatever they tell you to observe, that observe and do” (Matthew 23:1-3) Regrettably, Jewish leaders, despite their initial adherence to the Law of God when reading from the Seat of Moses, deviated from its true teachings. They started promoting and enforcing their own interpretations and practices that directly contradicted the original teachings of Moses. As Yeshua said, “...but do not do according to their works; for they say, and do not do.” The people who criticized the Disciples' actions were actually hypocrites themselves. They claimed to teach God's Law, but failed to follow it. Yeshua fearlessly exposed their hypocrisy, which earned Him their hatred and a death sentence. These individuals were rather fond of their religious practice: “Did not Moses give you the law, yet none of you keeps the law? Why do you seek to kill Me?” (John 7:19) Continuing to read Matthew 23, we discover that their hearts were misguided. Even when they obeyed God's Commandments and followed their own paths, it was solely to inflate their own egos and attract attention to themselves. They initially taught the Law of God, but then proceeded to establish a separate set of rules, their own law, which led them to be labeled as hypocrites and vipers. “Even so you also outwardly appear righteous to men, but inside you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness” (Matthew 23:28). “Serpents, brood of vipers! How can you escape the condemnation of hell?” (Matthew 23:32). The true essence of obeying God's Commandments lies in our love for Him and for others (1 John 5:2-3). It calls for us to embrace humility, putting ourselves beneath others, rather than indulging in self-love and self-exaltation. That is what Moses wrote, and the Pharisees missed it. The author of Psalm 119 undoubtedly grasped this concept well, which is precisely why Jewish leadership wrestled so intensely with Yeshua and His Disciples. He fully revealed the true purpose of the Law of God, as written by Moses, despite the Jewish leadership's persistent attempts to safeguard their false religious practices that went against Moses' teachings. Paul, like Yeshua, faced unjust allegations accusing him of contradicting Moses' teachings. “And when they heard it they began glorifying God; and they said to him, “You see, brother, how many thousands there are among the Jews of those who have believed, and they are all zealous for the Law; and they have been told about you, that you are teaching all the Jews who are among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, telling them not to circumcise their children nor to walk according to the customs. What then? The assembly must certainly meet, for they will hear that you have come. Therefore do this that we tell you. We have four men who are under a vow; take them and purify yourself along with them, and pay their expenses so that they may shave their heads; and all will know that there is nothing to the things which they have been told about you, but that you yourself also walk orderly, keeping the Law.” Pay attention to how these devout followers were fervent in their dedication to God's Law and how Paul is being wrongfully accused of abandoning Moses' teachings. James asserts that the allegations against Paul are unfounded, emphasizing that Paul upholds and imparts the entirety of God's Law, as it was written by Moses. James declares that living in an orderly manner, or what he refers to as "walking orderly", entails applying the Law of God. (Acts 21). Given that James affirms that Paul certainly upheld and transmitted the teachings of Moses, and considering that Paul heeded James' advice to demonstrate that he did not teach contrary to Moses, we can draw only three feasible conclusions. Either James and Paul were either: Liars Lunatics Legitimate Once again, James clearly states that "walking orderly" implies adhering to the Law as penned by Moses. Consequently, James implies that anyone who fails to walk and teach in accordance with Moses' writings is, in essence, walking in a disorderly manner. If we don't want to unjustly label Paul and James as dishonest or insane individuals, it is essential to trust their authenticity. Those who are absolutely convinced in their interpretation of Paul's letters and firmly believe that they contradict the teachings of Moses might find themselves deeply perplexed in this matter. This is precisely why Peter issued a warning concerning Paul's letters. He cautioned that they possess a degree of complexity, making them susceptible to distortion, and that they have the potential to facilitate disobedience. (2 Peter 3:15-17). Read the full article

Vital Directives For God's Child

[youngdisciples]

“In God, whose word I praise— in God I trust and am not afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?” - Psalm 56:4

During the time of David, his enemies were flocking like birds. He was threatened and the kingdom that was given to him by God to rule was being threatened. However, as human as he is, he got scared and even doubted for a moment. Yet, he realized that what mere humans can do to him? In God, he has set his confidence in. In God, his feet are grounded and that no one can take it away from him. So, why would he be afraid? Indeed, David has nothing to be afraid of because the God who created the world is his back up. 

Now, our verse today is not just the statement of David. It is not just his experience or his declaration about his confidence in God, but it can also be us. We have to understand that our God has our back and we don’t need to be afraid of anyone because it is He who promised us and He who promised us is faithful. If we have the God who created heavens and the earth and has planned our salvation, what indeed mere mortals can do to us? We are protected by our God, and no one is greater and better than Him. 

Therefore, we must understand that everything we do and even if we face a lot of enemies, our God will stand by us. Indeed, He is the God of promise that even our enemy which death itself and sin, was defeated by Him because He is a miracle worker and a promise keeper. He will not let any harm befall us, and He will always rescue us. Thus, to whom are we going to be afraid of? We have our God, and He is always there with us and through Him, we will always be safe and in Him we are saved through grace. After all, it is He who promised us eternal life, and it is He who will grant it through Christ our Lord. 

So, we must never be afraid. There’s nothing that humans can do to us. Even our biggest enemy has been defeated and there will be nothing that will stand against God because He is the God of gods and the Lord of lords. He is our eternal God, our protector and our one and only defender.

Enjoy Perpetual Spiritual Springtime

[youngdisciples]

reflection “Open my eyes that I may see wonderful things in your law.” - Psalm 119:18

Our eyes are always closed. We might have it literally open, but the eyes of our hearts are closed from the calling of God. The moment we become so sinful and horrible, the eyes of our hearts are closed because of how we desire to sin more than to follow God. So, we must be reminded that our hearts’ eyes should be open so that we will see the calling of God and we will follow Him. It is just right for us to know that our hearts are indeed so calloused that even if our literal eyes are open, we would rather see ourselves indulge in sins. 

However, today, our psalmist wants to remind us of the prayer he once wrote and can be our prayer. We must also ask God to open our eyes so that we will see the wonderful things in His law. It is just right that not just our literal eyes are open, but also the eyes of our hearts. If the eyes of our hearts are closed then we won’t be able to see with our real eyes the path of God and how wonderful the things in His law are. We won’t be able to appreciate or acknowledge that we need His help and that we need salvation. Now, we have to know that everything we do, we must do it by heart. 

So, we have to have the eyes of our hearts open. Before we can see clearly the path of God, we will have to open our hearts and let Christ enter and minister into us. We must accept Him as our Lord and Savior so that we will clearly see. So, for our eyes to open, we have to open our hearts first. We have to open it for our eyes to be fully open and see the salvation of God that can only be procured through Jesus Christ. We can never appreciate the law of God or His Gospel if our hearts are not ready to accept it. 

Therefore, let us make sure to open our hearts so that our eyes will be open to see the wonderful things of the law of God. Let us declare this prayer too that God, may not just open our eyes, but also open the eyes of our hearts so that we will see His law and His way. May we always remember to seek Him through His Word so that we will be able to tread carefully in His way. Let us always remember that we are under His grace and we can always have Christ in us as long as we first accept Him as our Lord and Savior.
