Aside from a raid by ICE for using illegals to noticibly replace American workers at his summer camp in the Catskills…
…Rabbi Chaim Mintz thinks he’s a “maven” of Biblical disputation.
Seems more like a klutz to me. [Clip]
[“So why do we believe that Moses led the Jews to the Red Sea, but we don’t believe that Jesus walked on water.” “Well, very simply, why don’t you go back a little further? Why the belief that Moses in the Torah, the Old Testament, why not believe in the New Testament? You can ask the same question. You can go back even further, a more basic question, not just one action of splitting the sea and walking on water, go back and ask why the belief in the Old Testament, but why don’t we believe in the New Testament. Ask that question. I’ll answer that question, too. And the answer is very simple, because, and it’s very important to know.”]
Oy, yoi yoi!
If muttering under your nose with kabalistic bobbing makes you a sage of Old Testament ‘prose,’ then I suppose any 5th grader can use low tones to sound like he knows. [Clip]
[“The big difference between the Jewish tradition and the non-Christian, Christian, or any other religion tradition is, that at the time God gave the Torah at Mount Sinai, there were millions of people that witnessed it.”]
No way.
According to real scholars, 20,000 crossed the Red Sea.
Not 603,000 armed men, as recorded in Numbers due to misreading the Hebrew word, “אֶ֖לֶף,” “Elef,” as “thousand,” rather than in context, a “troop.”
Total then would be 5,500 armed men, of all the people, 20,000.
If it were “millions” it would’ve taken days to cross the Red Sea and Pharaoh’s army would’ve slaughtered them. [Clip]
[“They saw God coming down with the lightening and the thunder speaking to Moshe Rabbeinu, and all the action that happened that time, and God spoke to them. They heard the speaking to them, the voice speaking to them, was witnessed by millions of people.”]
Only Moses saw God, and only His “back parts.”
As for, “Moshe Rabbeinu,” Moses was not a “rabbi,” he was a High Priest.
There is no occupation of “rabbi” in the Hebrew Bible.
Reacting as they did to the loss of the Old Testament priesthood in 135 AD, the office of “rabbi” was added by the Jewish leaders, and soon enshrined in the Talmud.
Jesus was called “rabbi” as “Rhabbouni—“Teacher”—the Aramaic meaning of the word. [Clip]
2:03 [“By any other religion, first Yashka at that time, I don’t want to say his name, Yashka that you’re talking about.”]
A derogatory twist of the Talmudic designation, “Yashka pandrek,” meaning, “Jesus from feces.”
“Yashka,” is a Talmudic spin on the name, “Jesus,” and it comes from the Talmudic acronym, “May his name be wiped out.” [Clip]
[“By any other religion, first Yashka at that time, I don’t want to say his name, Yashka that you’re talking about,” he was not witnessed by anybody, maybe one or two of his disciples. He had five disciples. And they decided that he is God’s son. And the whole thing, the long story about, you know, he being the Son of God and the Trinity and the whole thing, so this was something that was made up by one person, two people.”]
Yet it was John the Baptist, foretold by Isaiah, who pointed Jesus out to his large number of followers…
It was 5,000 Israelites who saw Jesus at the breaking of the loaves and fishes…
…then 7,000 at a subsequent feeding of the multitude.
Jesus initially had 12 disciples, grew to 70, then to 120, all during His ministry, who later proclaimed His Messiahship, attested to His resurrection, gave witness to His Divinity.

2:31 [“They came along and told people ‘Hey, look what happened! God changed his mind! He gave a new law. He took away the old Torah, gave a new Torah.’ What are you talking about? God came down with millions of people, gave the Torah, and they told the children afterwards, millions of people, tens of thousands of people, gave over, every generation, the next generation. And this is the true Torah that God gave.”]
The “True Torah” that God gave to Moses, in sum centers on Temple Worship, with added laws of “clean and unclean,” and other ceremonial injunctions, all attached to ritual participation.
Afterwards, God told Jeremiah He would bring a new “law,” a “New Covenant,” because the Old Covenant was repeatedly not kept. [Clip]
2:51 [“Nobody’s going to come along and say, ‘A guy made up a story, that he’s–God changed his mind and I’m the Son of God’ and and he’s–‘What are you talking about? What, what? He’s come along to believe in a story like that?’ Some one walks in and says, ‘I’m the Son of God.’ Even he makes miracles, makes miracles. Maybe he made miracles. God tells us in the Torah, if somebody comes up and tells you, ‘Let’s change the Torah’ and he makes miracles, don’t believe him. He could make miracles, but he is not my shaliach, my emissary, he’s not my person given over to you.”]
YET…
If you really knew ‘Toirah,’ dear rebbe Mintz, Moses says in “Deuteronomy”:
“The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among you, from your fellow Israelites. You must listen to him.”
That’s why the Pharisees, and the scribes, and the Sadducees, asked John the Baptist if he was “that prophet,” since they knew, “True Torah.”
Cherry picking in a pinch, huh Rabbi Mintz?
Shmooze out a few words in a mumble and forget the rest.
Thank you Brother Nathanael, with your knowledge they are easily transparent. It is also said “The kingdom of God will be taken from you, and will be given to a people who bear its fruits”.

Is there a scholar in the house?
Bring him on and let’s have a true dispute!
It is clear that the rabbi has never even looked at a New Testament.
