I was hurt today but that's nothing new,it happens all the time like its the normal thing to do. But as I sat back and talk to Yahweh for the last few days,He has shown me that we all get hurt,its just not me,we all go threw things in everyway,and I know none of you would disagree,but if anyone cannot agree to this, boy oh boy I'd like to meet you,but we are in a sinful world,no-one is perfect,we hear people say they love of us each day,but can you please define love for me because I get confused ,because when I read my Scriptures I know whats true... So I don't want to be like all the rest so I have asked Yah to put me to the test, to see if I myself am worthy and true... Amen Anna Minacapelli...

Over the past few weeks the Father has drawn me to look more into a sect of Judaism I recently came out of over 6 months ago known as Karaite Judaism.  During my time as a Karaite believer in Yeshua (which is a contradiction in itself), I never looked at outside sources and I trusted those with whom I was under who said the Talmud was evil, as well as other ancient Jewish writings.  It was not until a talk with James Scott Trimm I decided to take an objective look at the Talmud and I began reading the Talmud.  About 300 pages in I realized the Talmud was not what I was told it was.  What I saw were a bunch of guys who lived and walked Torah midrashing with one another on Scripture and how to keep from breaking the Torah. 
I then had Rico Cortes fill in for me on Schtix and Stones and he discussed...believe it or not, Talmud.  He exposed many of the lies about the document and many of the things that help us in it put Yeshua into a clearer context by understanding the people around him at the time.  This was a huge blessing, and it was confirmation to me that I was on the right path.  I assumed there were many Torah observant believers in Yeshua whom were going to tear me to pieces in my honesty in telling them, "In the past couple of weeks I have been studying the Talmud", but come to find out I got several email messages from people whom were led to Yeshua through reading the Talmud, and whom use it and use it often, and it is many people whom many Karaites hold in great esteem such as Rico Cortes, Eddie Chumney, and Ed Harris among many others.  I realized I was not alone, but many have just kept quiet.
Recently, I have been attacked by people within the Karaite movement for exposing the secrets of Karaitism on Schtix and Stones.  I have had my sexual orientation questioned, I have been made fun of because of my slight stuttering problem, I have been called numerous names, cursed at, threatened, etc.  It bothered me at first and now I just let it roll off my back.  I see this ministry thriving, the podcast numbers from this week for Schtix and Stones have been through the roof, as well as the live broadcast numbers, though Nehemia Gordon and his clan have said they are boycotting the program.  Well if they are boycotting it and the numbers are raising through the roof, then I say have everyone boycott us so we can get more people into the truth. 
But one of the most contended points is that Karaitism was NOT started by Islam, I have heard people tell me that I am calling them muslims by citing that Karaitism was started by Islam.  Now I have never called any of my hebrew roots brethren any such thing.  No one will be able to find the audio or facebook quote of me saying this cause it never happened.  However, Karaitism was founded in a sect of Muslim theology.  And much like Islam has influenced the Christian world with the spawn of Christlam, the Muslims have been doing this for much longer with our Jewish brethren.  The plan by Islam is to mingle the seed into every single known religion.  By taking the Jews away from their own ancient writings to understand the contextual writings of the Scriptures, and the influence of the history through the time periods, customs and ways found in the ancient Semitic writings, then we can only go so far in our walk into the Hebrew roots.  Which as well causes people to not look at the books that have been referenced all throughout the New Testament, that were in the original dead sea scrolls, Nehemia Gordon and the Karaites try and dismiss Enoch, why?  Cause Enoch points you to the Messiah.  There is also the book of Yasher (or Jasher) that show us many of the pagan customs adopted by Christiandom and Islam that have affected Judaism.  The same goes for the Apocrypha.  Karaites even go as far to lie about the ancient Semitic texts, I have heard many Karaites say that in  Gittin 57a that Yeshua is boiling in hot excrement.  Well when you look at Gittin 57a you see it is not Yeshua but rather it says Baalum is boiling in human excrement. 
Another lie by the Karaite movement is that the Talmud allows child rape, and they source Ketuvot 11b.  So lets look at Ketuvot 11b.

"Rav Yehudah said in the name of Rav: A male child who has relations with a female adult causes her to be like one who was injured with a stick... Rava said: This is what was meant - an adult male who has relations with a female child has not done anything because less than this [three years old] is like sticking a finger into an eyeball." Ketuvot 11b.

Simply it is not in there, if you wish to test this then please feel free to download the Babylonian Talmud in our ebooks section for free. 

Lets also look at other selections in the Talmud on the subject

Maimonides, Mishneh Torah, Hilchot Ishut 1:4 Whoever has licentious relations with a woman without marriage bonds is lashed by biblical mandate.

But I also want you to take an objective look at Karaitism, and show me how anyone can claim that Karaitism did not stem from Islam, as stated in their official website that not only defines Karaitism but also praises Nehemia Gordon.

http://karaite.org/ - Here is where it is defined and shows many Kararite schools of learning and other resources

http://karaite.org/page3.html - Notice Nehemia Gordon's name listed here with many prominent Muslim Karaites

http://www.karaite-korner.org/history.shtml - Notice Gordon's website is the only one one the web that states differently

The evidence is undeniable ladies and gentlemen.  Walk in Truth, do not simply take a false teachers word on something especially one who does not believe in the Messiah, if he looked at the rabbinical sources he would know who the Messiah is, cause he could then understand the Scripture.
