James C said (February 7, 2020):

Centuries before Christ, Jews began turning away from the bible. They had been polluted by their contact with Gentiles, first by their contact with the Greeks, and later by their contact with the Babylonians. By the first century, the Pharisees had their own body of beliefs, much of which was unbiblical, and of Gentile origin.

Gnosticism didn't begin with the Popes 500 years ago; it began centuries before Christ. It was a serious threat to the first century church and was later promulgated by so-called "fathers of the Catholic Church," such as Clement of Alexandria (150-215 A.D.) and Origen (184-254 A.D.).

Much of what passes for rabbinic, or Talmudic, Judaism is nothing more than baptized paganism. Talmudism is apostasy. "Learn not the way of the heathen" (Jeremiah 10:2).

Chris G said (February 7, 2020):

Kabbalah Judaism is an oxymoron because Kabbalists scorn Judaism and the prophets. Kabbalists need to sacrifice because they would much rather keep sinning which pleases Satan, rather than please Eternal God and behave themselves. Eternal God does not want sacrifices:

Psalm of David 40:6 Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; mine ears hast thou opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required.

Jeremiah 7:21 A message from the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: No more be at pains to distinguish between burnt-sacrifice and offering; use for your own eating the flesh of all alike!

22 Burnt-sacrifices, offerings, not of these was my theme when I gave commandments to your fathers at the time of their deliverance from Egypt;[4] 23 my word of command to them was, Obey my bidding, if I am to be your God, you my people; follow the path I have marked out for you, as you hope to prosper. 24 And did they listen? Hearing they gave me none; their own whim, the false aim of their corrupt hearts was all the rule they lived by; still turned their backs on me, and refused to look my way; 25 so it has been since your fathers left Egypt, so it is yet. No day dawned but I was at work betimes, sending my servants to prophesy to them, 26 but still they would not listen, still hearing they gave me none; stubborn under my yoke, they outdid their own fathers in wickedness. 27 All this thou shalt say to them, but they will not listen to thee; thy call shall go unheeded. 28 Then tell them, Here is a people who will not listen to the voice of their own God, or accept reproof from him; loyalty is dead, the word is on their lips no more.

It still baffles me how many of the Evangelical Televangelists in America support organizations that don't accept Jesus Christ as the Messiah.
I don't think they really want to do this but in order to maintain their worldly prosperous "ministries" they do so.

St. Paul makes a clear divide and warning against all other gospels in Galatians 1:8. As Christians we have to keep good on this order given by Paul if we want salvation through Jesus Christ.

Tony B [below] appears to be one of the faithful but totally myopic and uninformed "traditional" Catholics who truly DO believe that satanism entered the Catholic church in modern days. These are the very people who most need to read Michael Hoffman's tremendously cogent and irrefutable book The Occult Catholic Church of Rome for Hoffman's study of Neo-Platonic Hermeticism and its entrance into the Catholic Church roughly five hundred years ago, mainly under the influence of Pico de Mirandola and others of his ilk.

Edward Hendrie fleshed out this SAME ANALYSIS in his Solving the Mystery of Babylon the Great: Tracking the Beast from the Synagogue to the Vatican. These two impeccable scholars are in total agreement on this subject. Both were raised in the Catholic Church and have much to reveal about that institution historically. Both are top-flight scholars of unimpeachable intelligence.

Henry,

Methinks this article goes beyond reality in two places:

1. Putin is not a Kabbalist just because he is pictured with one. He knows their power in Russia, which still has a large Jewish population, and he truly appears, in every instance, to deal in a Christian manner with all powers. He cannot avoid those in power. His dealings with Erdogan as well as Nuttiyahoo are prime examples. Even the "oligarchs," who raped the Russian economy and put the people in utter poverty and misery, he simply told that they could keep what they had stolen but they would be punished if they didn't stop at that point. Those who stopped are untouched, those who did not have regretted it as Putin obviously keeps his word.

2. Similarly, Hoffman's history of the Vatican is severely warped when he claims that the Popes have been in the pockets of these satanists for 500 years. The Popes, like Putin, have done as Christ did and preached, answering the attacks of all enemies with Christian charity to their best abilities down the centuries until "modernism," culminating in V2, the advent of Satanism into the Vatican.
