Judaism:
Theological Anarchy
Or
Kabbalists In Control All Along?
As noted in Part II it is hard to believe that "the religion of Judaism" could be as fragmented as it is in a total world population of only 20 million or so and still manage to give the impression that it is unified on the matter of religion.
It is even harder to grasp that the secretive, barely heard-of sect of Kabbalism embodies the doctrines that have succeeded in establishing an evolution-based "creation scenario" as a "scientific fact" that has crippled and almost destroyed the creation scenario of the Bible, long held by Orthodox Jews and Bible Christians to be inviolable. (The creation scenario of Islam given in the Koran is very similar to that in the Biblical account and, as such, is equally nullified by the triumph of the Kabbala-taught Relativistic Big Bang Fifteen Billion Year Old Expanding Universe Paradigm. Thus--since Buddhism, Taoism, and Hinduism can co-exist with this Paradigm--Kabbala/Talmud-based Judaism is virtually triumphant in establishing its "Origins Scenario" as the world’s standard belief about the Origin of all that exists.)
Hard to believe or not, this is the true situation. To confirm not only the extraordinary "denominationism" in Judaism, but also the low-profile yet very real dominance of the Kabbalists over Judaism’s quasi-anarchic splinter groups, we call on the statements of several knowledgeable Jewish observers:
Hasidic Judaism, for example, one of the larger groups, was founded by...
"Israel ben Eliezer (1700-1760).... He and his disciples attract many followers and establish numerous Hasidic sects. The European Jewish opponents of Hassidim (known as Mitnagdim) argue that one should follow a more scholarly approach to Judaism. Some of the more well-known Hasidic sects include Breslover, Lubavictch (Chabad), Satmar, Gerer, and Bobover Hasidim...." 1
That’s five "denominations" in just the Hasidic sects that are "well-known".
A perceptive Hasidic Jew living in Minnesota, USA tells us further that:
"...there are lots of different groups [of Hassidim]. Lubovitchers are best known...but there are many other Hasidic groups [that] are equally important in the Hasidic world..
Before the Holocaust, there were a lot more Hasidic sects...than there are today. Some of the better known ones...are: Amshinov, Alecsander, Belzer, Bobover, Bostoner, Boyaner, Breslov, Ger (Gur),Karlin-Stoliner, Kloisenberger, Lubovitcher (Chabad), Modzitzer, Muncatz, Radziner, Satmar, Skvirer, Slonimer, Tauscher, Vizhnitzer, etc., etc., etc.
