Did You Really Invite An Adolf Hitler Lover (Y'S) To Your Jewish Community? (10 minutes)

1:31In his book, he writes this: In preparing to write this book, I tried to take a fresh look at the Gospels and all the people in them. Excuse me for reading all of this material; I have to for the purpose of proving my point. I was hoping to rediscover Jesus by rediscovering the people he interacted with. The thing that fascinated me about the Pharisees... As I rediscovered them, they always accused Jesus of blasphemy. By the way, "Pharisees," for anyone who doesn't know, is a derogatory term used for Jews. This was their major issue when it came to Jesus. To blaspheme is to speak of God in an irreverent, impious manner. In essence, he is calling Jesus God. The paradox is that the Perushim were, in fact, the ones blaspheming in the way they spoke to Yeshu and about him. Now, in case you don't believe me that Perushim means Jews, let's continue reading. There were others who even mocked Yeshu. The soldiers mocked him, saying, "Hail, King of the Jews!" and spat at him. Quotes Matthew 27:29. Can you imagine mocking a god? Again, calling Yeshu a god.

2:57Okay, let's continue somewhere else. In case we didn't create enough anti-Semitism with the first part, let's create more anti-Semitism in part two. In his other book, he talks about It must have been an incredible experience because Paul would suffer tremendously for the rest of his life as a result of his belief in Jesus. The Jews tried to kill him because he publicly taught that Jesus was the son of God. Great, tell people about Jews doing bad things and come to our synagogue. Great job, buddy. Tell us more things that we did. This is again in another one of his books called "Rediscover Jesus: An Invitation" by Matthew Kelly, page 86. As a matter of fact, for anyone who doesn't know, Paul was actually the one who caused the rise of Christian anti-Semitism. Next.

4:05In "Rediscover Jesus," page 38, Matthew Kelly states: God gave Moshe the Ten Commandments. By the time of Yeshu, these had evolved to 613 mitzvot. In essence, he's implying the Torah was altered. The simplicity of Jesus' teaching was radical, in contrast to the stifling effect that these 613 commandments can have on one's daily life. Oh yeah, I want this guy talking to my teenager and telling him that the 613 mitzvot are stifling. Yes, great motivation. We're going to bring ourselves back to the Derech quickly this way. Okay, let's continue. Rediscover Jesus, page 47. What is he saying? He's talking about Yeshu. What is Yeshu saying? He's saying to love Emperor Nero, Adolf Hitler, Osama Bin Laden, and child molesters. And pray for them.

5:10I'm reading verse for verse. I didn't make this up. Even if I was crazy, I wouldn't make something like this up. This teaching is so radical that when we really stop to think about it, our chest gets tight. The airways to our lungs become constricted, and we find it hard to breathe. Oh, yes, Jews at Boca Raton Synagogue and elsewhere that want to accept Matthew Kelly, you are instructed to love Adolf Hitler. Good job. You are a righteous Jew that way. Your grandparents will be so proud of you. Okay, next. Page 188 in Rediscover Catholicism. We move on to another book. Jesus Christ, born 2,000 years ago, Jesus of Nazareth, is not a myth or a legend, but a well-documented figure in history. However, in Jewish belief, he is not regarded as the Messiah. In this context, it's essential to recognize that theological interpretations differ significantly between religions. In Jewish tradition, the Messiah has yet to come, and any shifts in understanding about Jesus' role remain outside Jewish acceptance. Switch, like you switch pants, He switches roles. He is the mashiach who has been prophesied in the Jewish scripture, not in what is referred to as the Old Testament. The Old Testament is a term not used in our context. Our Tanach, which contains the prophecies and long-awaited figures anticipated by the Jewish people, refers to mashiach in a distinct manner. Thank you for the insight. Originally, the event at the Boca Raton Synagogue was called Passion and Purpose, led by Matthew Kelly.

6:42Matthew Kelly invites us all to identify God's voice in our lives and the specific purpose for which we've been created. This was on the flyer of Boca Raton Synagogue. No one found anything wrong with it, apparently. We're going to learn God's voice in our lives and the specific purpose. Why? Because it was pitched as if this guy is like some motivational speaker. I can't really say Tony Robbins because he's also an idol worshiper and he also mentions Jesus in his lectures. Just lay into them. If you go to, like, the seminars, and you go deep into it, it starts talking about J.C. Penney. So whatever, this guy was pitched as, like, you know, a motivational speaker who's going to do something like teach you how to sell, how to live, how to be happy. Interestingly enough, his phrase, "become the best version of yourself," wasn't originally that. But he's going to teach you about God, too. Okay, so everyone got fooled into this. Motivational. This guy is going to, I don't know, teach you how to sell, teach you how to live, teach you how to be happy. I don't know what he's going to do. He's going to do something like this, but he's going to teach you about God too. Okay, so everyone got fooled into this. But interestingly enough, his phrase, "become the best version of yourself," wasn't originally that.

7:48Matthew explains the history of the phrase in his book, "Four Signs of a Dynamic Catholic." In his earlier talks, he noticed that when he spoke about the Second Vatican Council's universal call to holiness, the eyes of his audience would glaze over. People weren't really that interested in that term. It wasn't marketable. Then one day, purely by accident, He instead used the phrase, "become the best version of yourself" and found that people started to become animated and engaged. So he continued to use the expression in his talks and books. To become holy, to become a tzadik is the same thing as to become the best version of yourself, to become all that Hashem calls you to be. It's not pop psychology. It's just plain old Catholic teaching with a shift in language. As a matter of fact, he likes this "best version of yourself" concept so much that he trademarked it. He also trademarked "Universal Call to Holiness." By the way, "Universal Call to Holiness" means to him, Christ is the light of the nations.

9:11And as I told you before, he went to a campus to promote being a better you. And this is what they wrote briefly. According to Kelly, everyone, regardless of religion, must answer the question, who was Yeshu? Mr. Kelly was asked what he thought about the problem of evil. He responded by saying suffering is part of the human experience. He claimed that Christianity is the only religion that explains suffering. This is what he says, this idiot. Catholicism is your path to become the best version of yourself. This is, again, quoting people, not me. In case anyone thinks I'm exaggerating about his fees, you could just go to KeynoteSpeakers.com, put in his information. He used to charge $40,000 per lecture, plus demand a first-class ticket, and so on. Now, I think it's $30,000; he got a little cheaper because he sells a lot of books, so he sells enough books to make up the other $10,000.

10:17Or, for whatever reason, it's 30,000. So apparently, someone, whether it's the Boca Raton Synagogue or the Jewish Federation that's co-sponsoring this horrific Chillul Hashem, someone is paying a ton of money for us to be fooled by avodah zarah. Great. Now, is it convincing enough?
