I have a question and a message for the christian church. Why is it that every time most christians hear something, they run with the message having no understanding about the message? Instead of judging, just do a little researching. I never even heard about Sabbatean Frankists until Candace Owens brought it up. So, instead of judging her and running off at the mouth, I researched it for myself, and here is what I found: The Sabbatean Frankists were a religious movement that emerged in the 18th century, combining elements of Sabbateanism and Frankism. Here are some key points: • Sabbateanism: Founded by Sabbatai Zevi in the 17th century, Sabbateanism was a Jewish messianic movement that emphasized the cancellation of traditional Jewish laws and the acceptance of sin. It attracted many followers, including some who remained within the Jewish community. • Frankism: Created by Jacob Frank in the 18th century, Frankism was a Sabbatean offshoot that rejected Jewish norms and preached the obligation to transgress moral boundaries. Frank claimed to be the reincarnation of Sabbatai Zevi and attracted a significant following, primarily among Jews living in Poland and Eastern Europe. • Blurring Boundaries: The Sabbatean Frankists blurred the lines between Jewish and non-Jewish practices, adopting elements of Christianity and other beliefs. They also engaged in rituals and practices considered taboo by traditional Jewish law, such as incest and cannibalism. • Leadership: Jacob Frank was the leader of the Sabbatean Frankists, and his teachings were intended for a select circle of followers, whom he demanded blind obedience. He maintained control through a combination of charisma, manipulation, and coercion. • Controversy and Excommunication: The Sabbatean Frankists faced intense opposition from traditional Jewish authorities, who condemned their beliefs and practices as heretical. In 1759, Rabbi Jacob Emden led a campaign against the Frankists, accusing them of immorality and heresy, and eventually, the Frankist leader Jacob Frank converted to Christianity. • Legacy: Despite the controversy and eventual decline of the movement, the Sabbatean Frankists left a lasting impact on Jewish mysticism and the development of Hasidism. Some scholars argue that their ideas and practices influenced the emergence of Hasidic Judaism. Key Entities and Descriptions: • Jacob Frank: The founder and leader of Frankism, known for his charismatic leadership, unconventional teachings, and controversial practices. • Rabbi Jacob Emden: A prominent Jewish scholar and leader who opposed the Sabbatean Frankists, accusing them of heresy and immorality. • Sabbatai Zevi: The founder of Sabbateanism, a Jewish messianic movement that emphasized the cancellation of traditional Jewish laws and the acceptance of sin.
