Judaizer: It's a label-and-dismiss thing that people like to do to negate any meaningful considerations that might be put before them.
It's easy to be swept up into such habits, something that's long been used to shun or deminish people or groups.

Yeshua taught us to follow the Law of God, not for our salvation but because we are to love God back.!

[AidenRKrone]

The concept is so simple that the only way someone can misunderstand it is if they're deliberately doing so. The Judaizers were Jews who were teaching that obedience to the Mosaic Law (i.e., formally converting to Judaism) _in addition to_ having faith in the Messiah is the way of getting saved. The biblical position is that we are _first_ saved by faith in the Messiah and _then_ we keep the Law because we love God and His commandments. The former taught works-righteousness, the latter teaches faith through grace. It's that simple. Mainstream Christians throwing around the label "Judaizer" don't know what they're talking about.

Hosea 13:7-16
7 Therefore I will be unto them as a lion: as a leopard by the way will I observe them:
8 I will meet them as a bear that is bereaved of her whelps, and will rend the caul of their heart, and there will I devour them like a lion: the wild beast shall tear them.
9 O Israel, thou hast destroyed thyself; but in me is thine help.
10 I will be thy king: where is any other that may save thee in all thy cities? and thy judges of whom thou saidst, Give me a king and princes?
11 I gave thee a king in mine anger, and took him away in my wrath.
12 The iniquity of Ephraim is bound up; his sin is hid.
13 The sorrows of a travailing woman shall come upon him: he is an unwise son; for he should not stay long in the place of the breaking forth of children.
14 I will ransom them from the power of the grave; I will redeem them from death: O death, I will be thy plagues; O grave, I will be thy destruction: repentance shall be hid from mine eyes.
15 Though he be fruitful among his brethren, an east wind shall come, the wind of the Lord shall come up from the wilderness, and his spring shall become dry, and his fountain shall be dried up: he shall spoil the treasure of all pleasant vessels.
16 Samaria shall become desolate; for she hath rebelled against her God: they shall fall by the sword: their infants shall be dashed in pieces, and their women with child shall be ripped up.

It's funny reading the comments. Many people got pissed off for pointing out the true definition of Judaizers. Let's face it... They're the same ones living in disobedience and consider the Law a curse. 2 Peter 3:15-17 is all about them.
This study was a blessing, thank you. Shalom!

Why do you not just say that most practicing Christians have it all wrong and are living in sin for not observing the Torah? Are you not making the argument that Christians who do not practice certain observances of Jewish Holy days, and other lesser laws are living in sin? Willfully sinning against God? How can one be saved if they are in a state of willful sinning? By this logic, those who don't practice Torah as you do are apostate and in a damnable state or were never saved to begin with. They are unsaved by Grace through Faith or in danger of losing their salvation. Personally, I practice the Ten Commandments and the commandments and teachings of Jesus, our Lord, our Savior. I keep the Sabbath holy with personal sacrifice although do not observe dietary restrictions associated with Judaism. I also keep everyday as holy as I am able, being imperfect as I am. I am not intimate with those things (idols of wealth, entertainment, pleasure), ideas (music, movies, culture), and those people (non-believers, aside from witnessing) that are unclean (sinful) that I may not be tempted. By being saved, I behave as though I am set apart by He who saved me. I've noticed, mainly though YT recommendations, this growing movement of Judaizers among young men in America. At first, I was curious. Then, after seeing some begin to fall away from the faith and into denying certain epistles for not being clear enough about the supposed mandate to practice Torah. I became deeply troubled. I did what the bible commands and began to search, test, and discuss with other trusted brothers. I concluded, Idolizing Mosaic Law as you all seem to be doing is a dangerous heresy and will lead many astray from the purity, and simplicity of Christ's sacrifice and teachings. God's ways are not man's ways. He made it simple for our small minds to grasp, leave it up to a bunch of men to add layers of unnecessary complexity. Praying for you all. Peace will come when you are right with Christ, not when you have perfected your practice. The Lord knows all about man and his attempts at perfection.

Rome called God's people judaizers

[gavinmaboeta]

Question: When under Grace through our Messiah... What commands would you not follow automatically through the Holy Spirit and Guide given to us?

[serendipidy]

what about those that enforce Jewish traditions on grafted in gentiles? not for salvation but for looking different from Christianity?

[erichaggen]

the Lord is one.
Adonai echad.
I am a sinner
the Lord Jesus is King of the Jews.
the Lord Jesus is my God.

[kpballa]

Do you guys keep the Passover, Feast of Weeks, Tabernacle in Jerusalem like the law says?

[TzaddikMedia]

Which specific traditions do Jews practice that break Torah commands?

[dominicwalker]

What does it mean to love your fellow man. If it's treat him how you want to be treated. i cut myself no slack, i care little of my feelings, a tell the stupid voices in my head to shut the blank up. is this how i should treat others? Love is an action.

[ronfoote]

Paul said that their circumcision was of their heart. Judaiser not a problem for me. Root of David Lion of Judah Lord of the Sabbath.

[Ben-Yosef]

@119Ministries, do you also believe in land laws laid in The Torah? Do you keep the sabbath perfectly as also laid out in The Torah? What about The Levitical Laws which do NOT apply to you?

[rickrags]

Torah:
Torah (תורה) in Hebrew can mean teaching, direction, guidance and law. The most prominent meaning for Jews is that the Torah constitutes the first five books of the Hebrew Bible (also called the Pentateuch, 'five books' in Greek), traditionally thought to have been composed by Moses.

Judaizers:
The Judaizers were a faction of the Jewish Christians, both of Jewish and non-Jewish origins, who regarded the Levitical laws of the Old Testament as still binding on all Christians.

Why, then, was the law given? It was given alongside the promise to show people their sins. But the law was designed to last ONLY UNTIL the coming of the child who was promised. God gave his law through angels to Moses, who was the mediator between God and the people.
Galatians 3:19

These Law keepers don't take into account that all of God's Laws, Instructions, Rules, Regulations, Ordinances, and Statutes are not directed towards all mankind throughout all the ages. They use the word Torah only to mean God's Law. God's Laws are indeed written in the Torah, but it's much more than a set of Laws. The Law keepers don't differentiate between God's Moral Law, the Ten Commandments, and Moses Law. They just lump them all together and say God's Law or Torah. They claim to keep all of God's Law, which is impossible. The Law of Moses was only imposed on the Israelites. They couldn't even keep them. The Law of Moses was enforced UNTIL Jesus Fulfilled, Accomplished, Completed it's intended purpose. Law keeping was also called "Works of the Law". If the works are Completed, what is there left to do? The Israelites were constantly doing works of the Law in order to be made right with God. The modern day Judaizers are attempting to do works that have already been completed by Jesus. They say that they don't keep the Law for salvation reasons, but out of obedience. To whom? The Mosiac Law was specifically for Ancient ISRAEL. The Law keepers are making what Jesus has already done nil and void. Those Laws, Rules, Regulations, Ordinances, and Statutes were only good UNTIL the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. If you believe in Him and the Works that He Completed, then you will be made right with God. Do not listen to the modern day Judaizers. God's Moral Laws and Ten Commandments are eternal, but the Law of Moses is obsolete and have passed away. Thank you Jesus for Completing the work that You were sent here to do.

I have glorified You on the earth. I have finished the work which You have given Me to do.
John 17:4

[lady]

When did Israelites ever eat with (have table fellowship) with people of other

[jaclync]

This is how I see it. If you are doing it as a way to personally serve God then by all means go for it.... BUT if you are preaching it as a salvation issue or an obedience issue then you are out of step with what the NT scriptures speak.
Which makes me wonder what the point of your ministry is.
