Israeli lawmaker tears up “abominable” New Testament, throws it in trash

A member of the Israeli parliament has torn up a copy of the New Testament and thrown it in the trash.

An edition of the Bible had been distributed to all members of the Knesset by Victor Kalish, the head of a Christian publishing society.

According to Israel’s NRG news website, Kalish sent the book along with a letter explaining that it was a new edition with thousands of references, “that sheds light on the [Old Testament] Scriptures and helps to understand them and also shows the close connection between the Scriptures and the New Testament and how many of their prophecies are fulfilled in the New Testament.”

New Testament belongs in “garbage can of history”

**Ben-Ari, however termed the book a “provocation,” tore it up and threw it in the trash, an act that was apparently caught on camera.

“This abominable book [the New Testament] brought about the murder of millions of Jews in the Inquisition and autos da fé,” Ben-Ari was quoted as saying, “This is a provocation by church missionaries and there is no doubt that this book and those who sent it belong in the garbage can of history.”**

Tzipi Hovotely, a member of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s governing party, sent a request to the speaker of the Knesset urging him to ban the distribution of “missionary” materials, NRG reported.

Destruction of bible comes as Christian Zionists meet in Washington

Ben-Ari’s destruction of, and insults toward the Bible, come as Christians United for Israel(CUFI) – what claims to be the largest pro-Israel organization in the United States – meets for its annual conference in Washington.

Alice Bach attended the conference and heard the opening speech by its founder Pastor John Hagee who claims, in order to justify his support for Israel, that the bible is “a Zionist text.”

What would the thousands of Christian Zionists attending CUFI say if they saw an Israeli Knesset member destroying the Bible and dumping it in the trash?

amk, let me give you an example. Let's use Hebrews 11:1 -

Douay Rheims (Catholic): "Now faith is the substance of things to be hoped for, the evidence of things that appear not."

King James (Protestant): "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen."

I'm sorry, dude, but that is a translation. And a pretty accurate and literal one at that. Now let's check out the so-called Catholic NAB:

"Faith is the realization of what is hoped for and evidence of things not seen." (NAB)

Let's try another one. This time let's go with John 1:18:

Douay Rheims (Catholic): "No man hath seen God at any time: the only begotten Son who is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him."

King James (Protestant): "No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him."

See any difference? My friend, that is what one might call a TRANSLATION. Now let's check out the NAB:

"No one has ever seen God. The only Son, God, who is at the Father’s side, has revealed him."

Now you tell me where we can go to find more disparity of translation.

Withdraw! The "reformers" DID translate the Bible!

Quoting amk:

The Bible was gutted by the "reformers" and not translated per se but *interpreted* to fit the new (false) doctrines.

Sorry. The Bible WAS translated. I can't believe you even wrote that. You're making yourself look bad, bud.

CA .. when Truth is perverted it cannot rightly be called Truth any longer. That's what heresy is, BTW. The Bible was gutted by the "reformers" and not translated per se but *interpreted* to fit the new (false) doctrines. I stand by my former statement and reject your accusation of blasphemy.

Frankly speaking, the papacy has to be the worst institution at the present time which encourages the erroneous ideas that are contained in Zionism and the invalidity of the Jewish old covenant. POst-concilar policies of interreligious "dialogue" and obsessive ecumenical pandering to flagrant falsehoods have completely unhinged most of the heretical plague that besets liberal modernist misconceptions about the Jews. This papacy is even worse than the last one where this is concerned.

I think the Christian fundamentalists need to see this - especially the ninkumpoops who follow the "Reverend" Hagee.

Quoting Gigger:

CA, according to the Catechism of Pope St. Pius X, a Christian is required to either reject with disgust a Protestant "bible" or burn it because it is forbidden by the Church.

And of course the catechism is right. But the REASON for disgust should be clear. We are not disgusted that a verse in their Bible and a verse in ours are translated identically. We are disgusted that the Protestant Bible has omitted 7 books and thus is not a whole canon. We are also disgusted that the Protestant Bible has mistranslated some of the passages. We burn copies for these REASONS. (Makes you wonder why we don't burn the "Catholic" NAB)

But amk wrote "What ended up in the can is as much an abomination as the Talmud."

The Protestant Bibles actually contain large portions that are perfectly orthodox if read on their own. And so this statement of "what ended up in the can" also includes Sacred Scripture, if even in part.

Name for me one portion of the Babylonian Talmud that can be called the Word of God.

This man in Palestine (blasphemously called Israel) is ripping up the Scriptures for very different REASONS. He is ripping it up because he hates our Divinely founded religion.

Do you see the difference?

Keep in mind that Evangelicals are enamored with Zionists.

amk, your comments are sadly blasphemy. You cannot compare a Protestant Bible version to the Talmud. You fail to consider that huge portions of Protestant Bibles are accurate translations. And therefore when you make a general condemnation you include in your condemnation Holy Scripture. Be careful.

What ended up in the can is as much an abomination as the Talmud. The Protestant bible is the word of God perverted by heretics. The gesture however should demonstrate that Zionist neo-pagans, aka christians, and Jews are not much different.
