	Judaizers - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Judaizers is a pejorative term used in the Bible in the Epistles of St.
		The Judaizing teachers were a group of Jewish Christians who taught that converts to Christianity must first be circumcised and thus must observe the Law of Moses in order to be justified.
		The term Judaize is also employed as a condemnatory one in some English translations of the Qur'an as voicing Muhammad's displeasure with those who converted to Judaism instead of converting to Islam.

		The Judaizing teachers were a group of Jewish converts to Christianity who felt that Christianity was not in any way a sucessor to or abolition of the Law of Moses but rather an addition to it.
		Paul saw these teachers as being both dangerous to the spread of Christianity and propegators of grevious doctrinal error.
		The term "Judaize" is also employed as a condemnatory one in some English translations of the Qur'an as voicing Mohammed's displeasure with those who converted to Judaism instead of converting to Islam.

	"Toward a Better Understanding ..."
		The key or essential element which makes a doctrine or teacher "false" is not the teacher’s character or motive but is the doctrine’s departure from revealed truth which involves people in sin and causes their souls to be lost.
		False teachers and their parties should be named at times, simply described at times, and stigmatized by expressions of reproach at times.
		It is not necessary to know the teacher’s state of mind or motive in order to declare his doctrine a lie, falsehood, or error, and to identify him as a false teacher.

	[Acts XV].
		Here is, I. A controversy raised at Antioch by the judaizing teachers, who would have the believing Gentiles brought under the yoke of circumcision and the ceremonial law, ver.
		Now for these teachers to go about to lay that yoke upon the neck of the Gentiles from which he came to free even the Jews was the greatest injury imaginable to them.
		Judas and Silas, being prophets also themselves, endued with the Holy Ghost, and called to the work, and being likewise entrusted by the apostles to deliver some things relating to this matter by word of mouth, exhorted the brethren with many words, and confirmed them.

	Mathew Henry's Commentary on the Whole Bible [Galatians VI].
		We are not to confine our charity and beneficence within too narrow bounds, as the Jews and judaizing [[Christ]]ians were apt to do, but should be ready to extend it to all who partake of the same common nature with us, as far as we are capable and they stand in need of us.
		But yet, in the exercise of it, we are to have a special regard to the household of faith, or to those who profess the same common faith, and are members of the same body of [[Christ]], with us: though others are not to be excluded, yet these are to be preferred.
		The false teachers were men of a worldly temper, their chief concern was about their secular interests, and therefore they accommodated their religion thereunto.

	Questions and Answers
		Judaizing Christians had gone from Jerusalem to Antioch of Syria and informed the Gentile church there that they had to be circumcised in compliance with Judaism before they could become Christians.
		At the conclusion of the meeting to consider the contention of the Judaizing teachers, the apostles sent their consensus (1) orally through Judas and Silas (additional to Paul and Barnabas), and (2) by written correspondence.
		They overturned the false teaching of the Judaizing teachers, but they did more, too, which was neither solicited nor relative to the matter for which the apostles and elders in Jerusalem convened.

		And though subsequently the majority in the Galatian churches were Gentiles (Ga 4:8,9), yet these were soon infected by Judaizing teachers, and almost suffered themselves to be persuaded to undergo circumcision (Ga 1:6 3:1,3 5:2,3 6:12,13).
		He had already, face to face, testified against the Judaizing teachers (Ga 1:9 4:16 Ac 18:23); and now that he has heard of the continued and increasing prevalence of the evil, he writes with his own hand (Ga 6:11: a labor which he usually delegated to an amanuensis) this Epistle to oppose it.
		This epistle was written for the purpose of counteracting this Judaizing tendency, and of recalling the Galatians to the simplicity of the gospel, and at the same time also of vindicating Paul's claim to be a divinely-commissioned apostle.

		The Judaizing teachers were a group of Jewish converts to Christianity who felt that converts to Christianity must convert to Judaism first.
		A minority opinion held by Messianic Judaism and other Christians is that the Judaizing teachers claimed that circumcision and full obedience to the Torah were required for salvation.
		As the Apostles argued it was not necessary for salvation, Messianic and Nazarene Judaism generally believe that it would be eventually expected, if the converts intended to become Jews, as the gentiles joined first and then learned what would be expected of them at some point after studying the Law of Moses.

		I repeat what has been before said, that this opposition came mainly from the Judaizing Christians who thought Paul had gone wrong in not requiring Gentile Christians to come under the bondage of the Jewish law.
		This no doubt ironically alludes to teachers who had come to Corinth making lofty claims, to whom repeated allusions are made.
		The Judaizers said that Paul had exceeded his commission in coming to Corinth, that he had no authority there.

	Having the Faith of Abraham
		In the early church, Judaizing teachers could not grasp the fact that a Gentile could be in full relationship with God by being baptized into Christ and living by faith in Christ.
		These teachers were so convinced of the inadequacy of the teaching of salvation by grace through faith that they did “follow up” work among baptized Gentiles.
		The problem in the churches of Galatia verifies the fact that the Judaizing teachers continued to hold their position and to pursue their cause.

		But he is to be understood as speaking of circumcision in the sense in which the judaizing teachers imposed it, who taught that except they were circumcised, and kept the law of Moses, they could not be saved, Acts xv.
		This was what the judaizing teachers endeavoured to impose upon them, and what they had too easily fallen into.
		That which they were endeavouring was to bring them to submit to circumcision, and to mix Judaism with their Christianity; and, the better to accomplish this design, they had given out among them that Paul himself was a preacher of circumcision: for when he says (v.

		It was also that the troubling false teaching came forth from Jerusalem, hence it was necessary to correct the notion that the Judaizing teachers would continue to have their blessing.
		Judas was possibly the brother of Justis, who was one of the two men nominated for the apostolic seat vacated by Judas Iscariot.
		Judas and Silas were the brethren whom were appointed by the apostles and elders of the church of Jerusalem to confirm that the message presented by Paul and Barnabas was the valid message that the apostles had given.

	Sermons by Marlin Harless
		The Judaizers declared that Paul was a second-hand authority, deriving all that was good in his views from the original apostles (1:1; 2:6, 7).
		Judaism with its law is not the final religion.
		On the whole it seems the more probable that the reference is to the time rather than to the manner of their defection; then soon after the arrival of the false teachers is more likely than so soon after their conversion.

		He then presses them to serious practical godliness, which would be the best antidote against the snares of their false teachers; particularly, I. That they should not strive with one another, Galatians 5:13-15.
		But he is to be understood as speaking of circumcision in the sense in which the judaizing teachers imposed it, who taught that except they were circumcised, and kept the law of Moses, they could not be saved, Acts 15:1.
		That this is his meaning appears from Galatians 5:4, where he expresses the same thing by their being justified by the law, or seeking justification by the works of it.

	False Teachers
		The purpose of verses seventeen and eighteen of the sixteenth chapter is to instruct the brethren regarding Judaizing teachers.
		These persons on both sides were to be avoided, and they were to refuse to follow them, and to cultivate the spirit of unity and peace.
		Obviously, these Judaizing teachers taught things "contrary to the doctrine." The doctrine is the very thing taught by Paul and the other apostles both by the written and spoken word.

	Making Sense of Philippians 3:1-3
		These Judaizers are sometimes thought to be gentile Christians who embraced Judaism as part of their Christian profession, but the better guess is that they were mostly Jews who considered themselves Messianic Jews (Christians) or gentiles who had converted to Judaism beforehand, then later acknowledged Jesus as Messiah.
		Circumcision, one of the rituals associated with Judaism and observing the Torah (the Law of God given to Moses), was used as the first installment in assuming the yoke of the Law—the obligation to obey the Law in its entirety.
		False teachers would consider this sort of joy presumption; thus their works system is incompatible with the New Testament plan of salvation, a salvation that brings the joy of assurance of salvation.

	Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary on the Bible
		In the former part of this chapter the apostle cautions the Galatians to take heed of the judaizing teachers, who endeavoured to bring them back under the bondage of the law.
		He had been arguing against them before, and had largely shown how contrary the principles and spirit of those teachers were to the spirit of the gospel; and now this is as it were the general inference or application of all that discourse.
		The opinion or persuasion of which the apostle here speaks was no doubt that of the necessity of their being circumcised, and keeping the law of Moses, or of their mixing the works of the law with faith in Christ in the business of justification.

		In this chapter the apostle deals plainly with those who hearkened to the judaizing teachers, who cried up the law of Moses in competition with the gospel of Christ, and endeavored to bring them under the bondage of it.
		Though the judaizers should persecute and hate them, yet the issue would be that Judaism would sink, and wither, and perish; but true Christianity should flourish and last for ever.

	The Glorious Covenants
		Judaizing teachers in Corinth were boasting about their letters of commendation from important brethren.

		The verse does not say when Judas betrayed Him, but it had been done when Matthew wrote the book.) Nehemiah confirms that the Sabbath was given at Mt. Sinai.
