Today is Susan B. Anthony Day and today’s scene that I love is one that she would have appreciated. In this scene from 1994’s Little Women (the best film version of Little Women in my personal opinion), Jo (Winona Ryder) argues for the right of women to vote.

How a best case scenery NT passage compares to tuma animals. Pigs declare: examine our hooves, see they are split!
1 Peter 4:12-16 smells of a replacement theology due to its alien focus upon “believers who experience persecution”. This NT Book not judged by itself alone, divorced from other NT writers. Attempts to isolate this passage from other NT passages, invalidate the NT as the united holy book of the Xtain church. While JeZeus sits idol in heaven during the Nazi Shoah; 1 Peter emphasizes suffering as a validation of faith, a theological shift similar to the creation of the Nicene New Gods or the creation of Allah through theology.
Therein it totally ignores the Torah commandment to “pursue justice” based upon the 1st Sinai commandment that the Spirits of the Divine Presence breath within the Yatzir Ha-Tov within the hearts of the chosen cohen seed of Avraham Yitzak and Yaacov for all eternity and forever. NaCH prophets rebuked kings for their Par’o duplication of injustice. This prophetic mussar defines the Talmudic term: O’lam Ha-Bah/World to Come.
1 Peter 4:12-16 places suffering on an av tuma idol pedestal – it carries the Odor of aristocratic land owners, like priests using slave labour to build Cathedral Temples and justify oppression of feudal peasants, enslaved to brutal agricultural economic oppression. Consequent to perverting human suffering labelled as – ‘saints suffer’. Absent the Sinai commandment, remember the slavery of Egypt. This silence 1 Peter serves comparable to a brick following on an exposed foot; do not place a stumbling block before the blind. But it does not promote like as did Martin Luther gathering Jews into their synagogues and burning those buildings to the ground. None the less, its silence effectively invalidates these absolutely critical Torah commandments which only the chosen Cohen people accepted but which all Goyim rejected. The Spanish Inquisition war-crimes did not occur as the result of 1 Peter 4.
Still a strong suspicion rests on this weak particular specific which defines the intent of the NT as a whole. 1 Peter 4:12-16 invalidates the Torah obligation to pursue justice as the definition of faith, the NT replaced by belief in JeZeus as God for the revelation of the Torah at Sinai; it declares itself the New Israel. But, Torah justice NOT a NT theological construct. Torah judicial justice as faith, a concept which stands upon the first Torah commandment – be fruitful and multiply. This base precedent Torah commandment exists as the root foundation for the abstract Torah idea of: O’lam Ha’bah – a Torah vision which the assimilated Tzeddukim heretics absolutely denied.
The Tzeddukim limited the Torah restricted to literal/physical simplistic word meanings, no different than does the NT believe in a physical historical JeZeus as God. Granted, the Tzeddukim correctly invalidate the notion that man can anymore grasp life in the world to come than a man can comprehend the Gods! However, their perspective bears close similarity to 1 Peter, because both failed to weigh the first Torah commandment in בראשית – the connection between birth of children which discerns similar to the difference between the korbanot dedicated by Cain and Hevel. Xtian theology no different than Cain’s korban. Silence upon justice – does not prove the history of Church negation; no European court ever forced church war-criminals to stand before the BAR. This judicial courtroom silence across European courtrooms for more than 2000+ years does prove conclusively – negation.
1 Peter’s – endure faithfully and entrust ultimate justice to God – actions have their consequences. Church guilt has destroyed the absolutely critical “good name reputation”, which defines the Torah concept known as “fear of heaven”. Xtianity has no shame, nor does Islam who attempted post Shoah twice to throw the Jews into the Sea in ’48 and again in ’67.
Europe stood silent and idle till Arabs Armies suffered defeat and then jumped up in alarm and demanded UN imposed cease-fires. Herein defines the common denominator of post Shoah Nato and Russian interests which seeks to determine the borders of the Jewish State and Capital City by foreign fiat! Post Shoah Xtian church’s have never denounced this attempted great power imperialism/interference, which allies with the Arab absolute rejection of “dhimmi Jews” equal rights to achieve self determination in the Middle East.
Childless Avram who swore a Torah oath upon the soul life of his as yet unborn children that the Spirits of El Shaddai in Heaven would in-dwell within their hearts – separating the chosen seed – Yitzak from the rejected seed – Yishmael. The 1 Peter emphasis on suffering fails to emphasize and validate this key k’vanna of the Oath brit alliance which creates the chosen Cohen people eternally from the seed of the brit Avot. The Xtian version of messiah transplants the בראשית ברית unto JeZeus false messiah. Why false? Because, the NT fails to define from the Written Torah the mitzva of Moshiach.
Therefore, this first opening Torah commandment directly applies – strictly & only to the chosen Cohen people – by brutal definition. Only the 12 Tribes of Israel accepted the Torah at Sinai. Also both Esau and Yishmael refused to accept the Torah revelation at Sinai. Paul openly preached: Goyim not under the law. Therefore Xtians do not define Torah mitzvot, specifically they do not define faith nor Moshiach.
From the conversion of emperor Constantine – the church publicly declared Xtian Europe. Attempt after guilt of committing horrid war-crimes within the borders of Xtian Europe that the Nazi regime – not a theological application of 1 Peter – only a con man’s shell game. The buck of moral responsibility stops at the Church – regardless of Lutheran or Catholic – both guilty. Attempts by Xtian theologians post Shoah to justify the church compare to ‘sun-shine patriots during the harsh winter of Valley Forge! The NT does not stand independent from the fundamental institutional failure of the church throughout the Ages. Pope Pius XII cut an alliance with Hitler to defeat Communism, he passively permitted the Nazi SS to gather up the Jews of Rome. Post war Catholic rat-lines assisted Nazi war criminals to flee justice to South America.
Impossible to relocate faith identity from Sinai to Christ and not worship a new God; European repeated attempts to “force the released genie back into its g’lut bottle”, the church fundamentally rejects the resurrection of the death depicted in NaCH ‘dead bones’ to the vision of Jews reconquering our homelands; making the Written Torah the Constitution of the Cohen Republic; which mandates the establishment of Federal Sanhedrin common law courtrooms as the primary Order of Torah judicial Governance as an Independent nation-state.
Torah does not teach nor command theology. Av tuma avoda zara employs theology to create new Gods – both JeZeus and Allah serve as hard proofs which fundamentally reject and invalidate the first Sinai commandment. While 1 Peter 4 does not duplicate certain readings of Paul and Augustine of Hippo’s substitution theology, a pre-Shoah majority assumed that European Goyim identify within a Christ-created new God. 1 Peter 4:12-16 fails to validate the most essential need to pursue justice. As such, its language constructs a frame for replacement theology, advanced by others, which permits other NT writers to stretch their tuma “hides”, false prophet lies and deceits. 1 Peter 4, itself alone does not construct the exposed church guilt of judicial oppression “fruits” which developed from the “soil” of the NT. Encouraging persecuted minorities to endure suffering, morally different from instructing rulers to inflict it.
1 Peter 4:12–16 does not construct replacement theology; does not abolish justice; does not shift NT identity away form Sinai. None the less its elevation of “faithful endurance under persecution” make a subtle shift away from tohor Yatzir Ha-Tov spirits to tuma Yatzir Ha-Ra spirits. The fundamental distinction which separates the korban of Cain from the korban of Hevel. The buck of morality stops at the church. Leadership bears its consequences. Both Shaul’s failure to kill Amalek together with the animals and David’s ordering the “accidental” war casualty of the baal of Bat Sheva bore eternal Torah curses. The mitzva of Moshiach dedicates the righteous pursuit of justice. The false prophet NT failed to grasp tohor faith. Worse all generations of its leaders failed to correct this fundamental error of av tuma avoda zara.
By contrast, Jews who hate each other without cause, a key Talmudic mussar, violence & hatred of one another brings Torah curses which result in Jewish exile, meaning mass population deaths and deportations – no different than the plagues which cursed and destroyed Par’o and Egypt. Therefore the Talmudic mussar commands: hatred without cause – “identical to” the worship of avoda zara foreign Gods. Both this and that cause the oath sworn inheritance land – to vomit out its Jewish inhabitants, a negation of the first Torah commandment; consequent to our assimilation to foreign cultures and intermarriage with Goyim who reject the revelation of the Torah at Sinai as do “all” Xtians and Muslims. Herein defines the k’vanna of the 2nd Sinai commandment which 1 Peter 4:12-16 totally ignores.
The church profited by enslaving both peasants and Jews – akin to white slavery today. Consequently, 1 Peter 4 as a NT argument expresses heat rather than light. Post Shoah the Church justifications which declare that “suffering” permits believers to participate in his death and resurrection stand under the harsh lights of Xtian guilt who’s by their fruits you shall know them continually produces from generation to generation to generation non stop Xtian war-crimes guilt against Humanity. Consequently Jewish abhorance of the NT in general and 1 Peter in particular both textual and structural. . Suffering qualifies as perhaps a key component of damages inflicted upon others. In this context, pain simply not limited to only physical pain but rather inclusive of emotional trauma and loss of Human dignity. NaCH prophetic mussar denounced government judicial oppression, theft, sexual perversion and judicial bribery. NaCH prophetic mussar emphasizes judicial justice; 1 Peter – pulled a rabbit out of a hat, its “healing” confuses illness and disease with justice as Torah faith.
Judicial imposed justice most essentially requires a restoration of “lost trust” between former “allies”, for any real – long term healing that ultimately blesses the Jewish people with peace – at least for that generation. Shalom stands upon the foundation of trust. This healing metaphor, more applicable to medicine and should never compare to the faith that justice requires that Jews trust one another as trusted allies. The notion of suffering as outlined by 1 Peter, totally fails to address this key Torah concept: justice seeks to restore damaged trust between the bnai brit alliance – the substance of the Blessing vs Curse oath brit Torah constitutional alliance.
