Debunking Pranaitis What did he do?
by Lewis Loflin
From my guestbook:
Jesus was not a jew! And yes, the Romans killed Jesus but they were presured to do so by the jews. II. John 7 - "For many impostors have gone out into the world, who do not confess Christ as having come incarnated. Such a person is the deceiver and the antichrist." I John 22-23 "Who is the liar if it is not the one who denies that Jesus is the Christ?
He is the antichrist who denies the Father and the Son. No on who denies the Son has the Father. Whoever acknowledges the Son has the Father as well." Now, in my simple way of thinking, I would say that these passages tell us that he who hates Christ hates the Father as well.
Those of you who are not familiar with the jews talmud should know that it spews nothing but blasphomy and hatred toward Jesus and Mary. You can get a book called "The Talmud Unmasked" by the late Rev. I.B. Pranaitis. This book is easy to find on the internet. Then try to find the talmud. This is dificult because the jews like to keep this secret.
It's funny too, because you can go to the library and find the Holy Bible or the Koran or a list of other religious teachings, but no talmud. The jews know that if Christians knew about their filth their lie of being "God's chosen" would be exposed and all the donations we Christians give them (due to guilt) would stop. The 3 billion a year we give to israel in the form of foriegn aid would stop. Wake up you sleeping sheep!

I've run into this nonsense before on this Rev. I.B. Pranaitis. He is a violent anti-Semite from Czarist Russia that has been discredited. I've had these Talmud claims checked. The English version I used said none of the things these people claim. A Christian friend that speaks and reads Hebrew checked out the Hebrew version, identical to mine. The Talmud is available to anyone that wants to buy it. Use some critical thinking on these issues.
Greg is a member of a cult known as Christian Identity which believes white Europeans are the Hebrews/Jews of the Bible and real Jews are fakes. This cult has infiltrated many fundamentalist churches. For more on this violent cult, see the following:

WHO WAS "REVEREND" PRANAITIS AND WHAT DID HE DO?
The Reverend I.B. Pranaitis was a
turn-of-the-century Russian anti-Semite who was "Master of Theology and
Professor of the Hebrew Language at the Imperial Ecclesiastical Academy of the
Roman Catholic Church" in Old St.Petersburg, Russia. He also had a criminal
record. In 1892, with the support of his Archbishop, he published an
anti-Semitic tract in Latin called "Christianus in Talmude Iudaeorum" or as it
became known in English, "The Talmud Unmasked, The Secret Rabbinical Teachings
Concerning Christians" which was translated into English by American
anti-Semites around 1939.
Pranaitis is revered by anti-Semites as a
"Talmud Scholar". For example at a hate-site on the Web, www.biblebelievers.org.au
we find "The Rev. Pranaitis was the greatest of the students of
the Talmud. His complete command of the Hebrew language qualified him to analyze
the Talmud as few men in history". (Interestingly, a vast majority of the Talmud
is not even written in Hebrew, but this minor problem will be ignored for the
moment.) The reality concerning this "scholar" is very different as was even
proven in an anti-Semitic court.
This occurred in the infamous "blood
libel" case of Mendel Beiliss in Russia in 1912 where Beiliss was accused of
murdering a Christian child to take his blood for alleged Jewish rituals and to
put in Passover Matzah (unleavened bread). (Incidentally, the first known "blood
libel" case occurred in Norwich, England in 1144.)
Pranaitis was called
as a prosecution witness to testify to the allegedly horrible things said about
Christians in the Talmud. His credibility, however, was quickly destroyed by the
defence who asked him a few basic questions which anyone with even the slightest
knowledge of the Talmud would be expected to know:
The particular
questions that Panaitis was asked under cross-examination that completely
destroyed his credibility were as follows:
Q: What is the meaning of
the word Hullin?
A: I don't know.
("Hullin" means "ordinary produce"
in Hebrew as opposed to "sanctified produce".)
Q: What is the meaning
of the word Erubin?
A: I don't know.
("Erubin" means "domains which
have been set up to allow Jews to carry outside their homes on the
Sabbath".)
Q: What is the meaning of the word Yevamot?
A: I don't
know.
("Yevamot" means "brothers in law in reference to Leverite marriage
- a certain type of marriage relating to the command to marry one's dead
brother's wife if he died without children".)
Q: When did Baba Bathra
live and what was her activity?
A: I don't know.
(Baba Bathra was not
a person but it is a Talmudic Tractate.)

So much for Pranaitis' credibility. Nevertheless,
his quotes keep getting circulated and most recently were even taught in the
class room of school teacher Mr James Keegstra in Eckville, Alberta, Canada. He
was dissmised from his post in 1982. (See http://www1.ca.nizkor.org/ftp.cgi/people/k/keegstra.jim/supreme.court/facts)
The
majority of the Talmud "quotes" in this document are derived from Pranaitis'
book.
Pranaitis in the Beiliss "Blood Libel"
trial.
This is an extract of "Scapegoat on Trial: The Story of
Mendel Beiliss - The Autobiography of Mendel Beiliss" Shari Schwarz, editor.
[Note the variant spelling of Pranaitis.]
The star witness for the
prosecution was the Catholic priest Pronaitis. He was not a reputable Russian
Orthodox priest; indeed, one could not be found to do such "dirty work" at the
bidding of the authorities. They were lucky to have found someone like Pronaitis
at all. He was presumably well versed in both the Talmud and Kabbalah. In short,
he presented himself as a great Hebraist and was introduced to the court as
such. But when this "expert" began to speak, it was obvious to all that he was
nothing short of an ignoramus, his only talent being the ability to talk a good
game. However, since the authorities needed his long-winded verbiage to carry
some weight, they feigned to respect him as a holy man of great stature.
He began his lecture by stating matter-of-factly that the Jews offered
human sacrifices and the Jewish religion commanded its adherents to murder
gentiles. He even "interpreted" a sentence from the Talmud that supposedly said,
"Murder the best of the gentiles." In the same vein, after finishing with the
Talmud, he went on to the Kabbalah.
However, in spite of all this, when
the procurator asked him if he had any direct knowledge of Jews using Christian
blood, he said he did not. His expert opinion had made an impression on no one.
In fact, many in the audience occasionally laughed out loud when he clearly
became confused and couldn't even intelligibly answer some of the questions
asked by my lawyer.
A minor sensation was produced when the testimony
dealt with the number thirteen, a number which was supposed to have great
significance when used in a Jewish context. The prosecution insisted that the
thirteen wounds which Professor Sikorsky had discovered on Andriusha's body
proved that they had been inflicted in accordance with "Jewish ritual." When it
was discovered afterwards that there were actually fourteen wounds, the ritual
murder charge lost even more credibility.
Furthermore, all the perverse
and ridiculous lies that Pronaitis had postulated were completely refuted by the
brilliant, decisive testimony given by the well-known and universally respected
Rabbi of Moscow, Rabbi Mazeh. He delivered a long, detailed speech quoting
passages from the Torah, the Talmud and many other books to conclusively reveal
both the absurdity and the stupidity inherent in the testimony of such "experts"
as Pronaitis. Any intelligent person could see that the priest had no knowledge
whatsoever of the Talmud and could hardly even read a passage in
Hebrew.
