Father David Nix
There is only Abrahamic Faith, and that is Christianity—which is Catholicism. Remember that the Jews who reject Christ do claim, “Abraham is our father.” (John 8:39.) But Jesus immediately denies this assertion by saying: If you were Abraham’s children, you would be doing the works Abraham did, but now you seek to kill Me, a Man Who has told you the truth that I heard from God. This is not what Abraham did. You are doing the works your father did…You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father’s desires.—John 8:39-41, 44. Notice again that Christ Himself in Jn 8 says that the Jews who reject Him have not Abraham as their father, but rather have the devil as their father. Those are His words, not mine.
The Holy Spirit wrote through the Apostle Paul to the early Christian converts from Judaism (who were tempted to return to Judaism) the following: There is indeed a setting aside of the former commandment, because of the weakness and unprofitableness thereof. For the law brought nothing to perfection, but a bringing in of a better hope, by which we draw nigh to God.—Heb 7:18. This means the Old Testament, albeit an excellent foreshadowing of the New Testament, is totally annulled. The first Greek word in Heb 7:18 is Ἀθέτησις (Athetisis) which Strong’s dictionarydefines as nullification, abrogation and cancellation. Notice the New Testament inerrantly describes the Old Testament as abrogated or cancelled. Why then are so many neo-con non-trad Catholics obsessed with the old-rituals found in Judaism? Probably because they trashed their own ancient rites in favor of rites written by Protestants and freemasons. But we traditional Catholics (who do indeed have very ancient rites) are rarely tempted to go to things like a Seder meal (which is prohibited, by the way.)
The Council of Florence infallibly states “that the matter pertaining to the law of the Old Testament of the Mosaic law…although they were suited to the divine worship at that time after our Lord’s coming had been signified by them, ceased, and the sacraments of the New Testament began.” Later, the Council of Trent speaks “of the abrogation of the Mosaic Law.” Much later, Pope Pius XII (who saved over 860,000 Jews from the holocaust) wrote “The New Testament took the place of the Old Law which had been abolished…but on the gibbet of His death Jesus made void the Law with its decrees fastened the handwriting of the Old Testament to the Cross.”—Mystici Corporis, #29.
