In an attempt to deflect persistent criticism from Jews, the Museum Of The Bible, founded by the billionaire Christian owners of Hobby Lobby, has hired a jewish Director with admittedly no expertise in the Bible:
Even before the Museum of the Bible opened nearly a year ago, many Americans knew of its evangelical founders, the billionaire Green family.
In 2014, the Greens’ company, the arts-and-crafts giant Hobby Lobby, had successfully sued the Obama administration, in a case decided by the Supreme Court, to free Hobby Lobby from an Obamacare mandate to provide employees free access to birth control.
Some said the case confirmed their suspicions that the museum, located just south of the National Mall, was intended to advance the evangelical view that American government should be based on biblical foundations.
…Most persistently, critics said the museum privileged the Protestant Bible over other versions, particularly the Hebrew Bible.
But much has changed in a year at the $500 million museum, still chaired and largely supported by Steve Green. As its first anniversary approaches, it has announced the appointment of a new chief executive, a new chief operating officer and a new chief curatorial officer.
And two months ago, it quietly hired a director of exhibits — a Jewish woman who was recruited away from the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, where she was in charge of traveling exhibitions.
Neither a curator nor a Judaica expert, Rena Opert will work on strategic planning — scheduling temporary exhibitions and directing them from concept to completion.
Still, her hiring, which has yet to be announced on the website, is symbolic of the direction the museum says it is committed to: presenting an inclusive view of the Bible, communicated through cutting-edge technology that accurately represents the multitude of ways the Bible has affected civilization.
“I know there are a lot of assumptions about what this is about,” said Opert, 39, referring to the museum. “But I do think they really want to be open and invite everybody to come and engage with the Bible and have diverse audiences. I haven’t seen evidence of an agenda.”
Opert points to a number of exciting exhibits on the horizon: a joint exhibit with the National Museum of African American History and Culture around a “Slave Bible” owned by the historically black Fisk University in Nashville, Tenn.; an exhibit of German artist Willy Wiedmann’s illustrated Bible in an accordion-like format that stretches a mile long; a spring exhibit of Passover Haggadahs, the Jewish text that recounts the Exodus story, from medieval Amsterdam.
Though she has spent her entire career in Jewish institutions — prior to working at the Holocaust Museum, she worked at Chicago’s Spertus Institute for Jewish Learning and Leadership — Opert said she was recruited because of her interest in cultural property, the laws governing who owns art and antiquities…
“They’re not just looking for people from one perspective,” Opert said. “They’re really looking to diversify and bring in museum professionals and people from different backgrounds. People have been incredibly respectful and open to that and wanting to hear these voices…”
“I’m not impressed by who is hired or who is named,” said Baden. “I want to see what they’re actually saying and doing. It’s unclear to me that they have made changes or are even interested in making changes or even recognizing the problems that are relatively straightforward and require changes.”
To Moss, Baden and other scholars, such as Jill Hicks-Keeton of the University of Oklahoma, the museum presents Judaism as a steppingstone for Christianity rather than a religion in its own right; it laid the groundwork for the true and more complete faith — Christianity — to emerge.
…Eric Meyers, professor emeritus of Judaic studies at Duke University and an adviser to the museum, said he would like to see the museum undertake a research project into the hundreds of Torah scrolls rolled up and stacked horizontally behind a large glass wall in the museum. Once they are fixed, he’d like to see some donated to Jewish communities that need them.
But he sees the hiring of Opert as a positive step forward in making the museum more pluralistic and open to people of all faiths.
One might be tempted to ask why a bible museum hired someone like Opert as director who was an expert on the jewish version of the holocaust but knows nothing about the Bible, but that would be antisemitic. As evangelical Christians, the Green family who founded the museum already worshiped the Jews and Israel, but that wasn’t good enough — in other words, it still wasn’t jewish enough. This new jewish Director will make sure that Christianity is de-emphasized while all other ideologies are highlighted.
Of course, no Jew would accept the New Testament as a legitimate part of the Bible, and Jews have been working feverishly to get many passages from the Gospels censored because they are antisemitic. When it really comes down to it, all of the New Testament is antisemitic in that Jews are rebuked at every turn of the page, which makes it even more remarkable that a Jew would be allowed to oversee a museum dedicated to the Bible in its entirety.
Clearly, Opert is a gatekeeper, pure and simple, and her job is to make sure that White people never learn the truth about the Bible and who the Jews really are.
People here know this, but it’s worth repeating.
The term “judeo-Christianity” is an oxymoron, a blatant contradiction meaning “satanic-christianity” (small c), something that can never exist because the two are opposites.
One cannot worship Jesus Christ and simultaneously worship the devil, the sworn enemy of Christ.
The “jews” ARE the devil and worship themselves.
It is indeed true that the (((Edomites))) are the Devil [The Slanderer/The False accuser] and Satan [The Adversary].

What is wrong with people? You’re getting brainwashed. Why can’t you make your own mind up? Don’t listen to stupid people who want to take over the world and have one Faith. This is going to start another war.
So troubling how the evangelical community is unknowingly pushing forward the spirit of antiChrist.
Jews hate Christianity, and therefore they hate the Bible. That is why they wrote their own alternative “Bible” which is called The Talmud. And if you ever read through even parts of The Talmud, you would immediately realize that whoever wrote it did not write the Bible.
The Talmud is proof the Jews never wrote the Bible in the first place.
Chesterton, everyone knows Edom was not in Babylon. Its as you say Judahites and I say Jews.
In his book Nicholas II et les Juifs, Netchvolodow explains that ” the Chaldean science acquired by many of the Jewish priests, during the captivity of Babylon, gave birth to the sect of the Pharisees whose name only appears in the Holy Scriptures and in the writings of the Jewish historians after the captivity (606 B. C). The works of the celebrated scientist Munk leave no doubt on the point that the sect appeared during the period of the captivity.
” From then dates the Cabala or Tradition of the Pharisees. For a long time their precepts were only transmitted orally but later they formed the Talmud and received their final form in the book called the Sepher ha Zohar. ” 1

Pharisees were Judahites (therefore Israel) not Edom. It was Judahites who went into Babylon.
You have a nice day,see!
Keep hurting your people and see you will deserve destruction again.
Russ wrote, “Keep hurting your people and see you will deserve destruction again.”
Russ you are a pharisaical hypocrite who has demanded that this discussion remain civil, and yet here you condemn those who disagree with you, wishing them to be destroyed. This outburst is tacit proof of the weakness of your doctrine that you must resort to threats.
If you make another such comment about those who disagree with you, you will be permanently banned from this website. This is your final warning.
You are clearly very confused about Biblical history. No one said all of the Pharisees were Edomites–obviously Paul was not an Edomite. He said he was from the Tribe Of Benjamin, which proves that you are wrong, not all the Pharisees were from the Tribe of Judah. And despite being a Benjamite, Paul still referred to himself as “Ioudaios” or “Jew” despite not being from Judah. So “Jew” in the KJV cannot mean soley Judahite.
The Tribe of Judah that was held captive in Babylon returned to Judea in 500 BC, long before the time of Christ. In those intervening centuries much changed as far as those Judahites in Judea. We know from the Book of Malachi, circa 200 BC, that Canaanites, children of Esau, had wormed their way into the Israelite priesthood, a violation of God’s Law by that time.
We know from Josephus, that during the time of John Hyrcanus, circa 150 BC, the Edomites were given official citizenship of Judea under condition they adopted Judaism, which by that time had been greatly subverted by the Babylonian mystery cult that the Judahites brought back with them–known as the “tradition of the elders” that the Pharisees practiced at the time of Christ.
So by the time of the ministry of Christ, many of the the Pharisees, just like the Sadduces, were indeed Edomite and Canaanite Jews, not racial Israelites. Not all the Pharisees were Edomites, but clearly many were, as atested to by Christ himself who rebuked them for claiming to be legitimate children of Abraham through Jacob.
“For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist” (2 John 2:7)
I guess mainstream churchianity has removed this verse from their Bibles.
