The Haitian Revolution and the Violent 200 Years That Followed

Poland’s murder rate sits at 0.68 per 100,000 (with police solving ~99% of cases), its rape rate is among the lowest recorded anywhere, and foreigners make up only ~5% of offenders: less than their share of the population. The difference is who arrived 👇🏻

Ironically, Christian theologians were the first to use the term “Judaism” to refer to a religion. Prior to the late second century AD, the term referred only to Judean culture. Later, Christian polemicists used it not to refer initially to Moses’ religion or King David’s, but the religion of the rabbis who invented the post-temple system, based on the Pharisees’ novel adaptations. With the temple fallen and Old Testament rituals now impossible to keep (as God intended), they had to make their own. It was this religion originally known as “Judaism.” It wasn’t until the Middle Ages that sloppy theologians normalised referencing the Old Covenant faith by this title. It was, and still is, a grave mistake. In this sense, there is no “Old Testament Judaism.” We can’t smuggle the Mishnah into Genesis just because somebody has called both “Judaism.” It’s like calling modern Jewish Palestine “Israel.” It doesn’t make it so. Occasionally, Christians may refer to “Old Testament Judaism” to contrast it with Post-Temple or Rabbinic Judaism, so people have a frame of reference for the discussion. We’ve done it a time or two ourselves. Sometimes, if one has a limited frame of reference, we may need to start there. But technically, the Old Testament religion was never “Judaism.” When we continue to refer to it as that, we are muddying the water in a way beneficial to Judaizers and Jews who manipulate Christians by appealing to our religion when trying to coax from us money or moral support for Zionism. So then what was the religion of the Old Covenant? The religion of Abraham, Moses, David, and the Prophets was the Old Covenant faith that centered upon the coming Christ. They worshipped Christ. They believed in Christ. And despite the term “Christianity” not being invented until Antioch, the religion nonetheless existed in the pages of the Old Testament. That’s why we don’t call the New Testament a new religion. The new religion was Judaism, invented after God destroyed the Temple. It’s Talmudic. It’s a repudiation of the Old Covenant, not its continuation. The continuation of the Old Covenant’s religion is Christianity. Rabbis are not the children of Abraham. Christians are. When Jesus demanded, “Destroy this temple,” He did so out of great love to send to them the unmistakable signal that God had put to death the Old Covenant. Instead of getting the clue, they just made up a new religion that, unlike the Old Covenant, had Jews at the centre, instead of Christ. Jesus has nothing to do with that religion, and by its own design. So Christians who think Christianity is a recent departure from the religion of Moses are mistaken. The religion of Christ is the religion of Moses. The Bible confesses that Moses testified to Christ, that the sacrifices anticipated Christ, and that the promises reached their fulfillment in Christ. Jesus told the Pharisees, the founders of Rabbinic Judaism, “…For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote of me” (John 5:45-47). And Luke 24:27 says of Jesus, “And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.” It turns out, the Old Testament is about Jesus. Call it Christianity if you want. Or don’t, it doesn’t really matter. Or call it the “Law and Prophets,” like the Apostles did. But nobody called it “Judaism.” Those prophets all prophesied of Christ, and worshipped Him. And that Law? It was given to God’s Chosen People. There’s only one Chosen People. They are the ones who belong to the Promised Seed of Abraham, who are also known as “Christians” (Galatians 3:28-29). Abraham’s God and ours is the same God, with the same religion, with the same followers who are listed as Abraham’s real heirs. But the god of Judaism doesn’t have a son named Jesus, meaning who they call “Yahweh” is as much an imposter as the Muslims’ Allah. He’s a demon-god wearing a yarmulke.
