but they say they are Christian. They said Catholic is wrong coz to praise Vatican. can you elaborate more Judaizer?
I have some hard time understanding your sentences

That's what I am saying, they are usually Christians and we should receive them if they are genuine believers. Usually.
Catholicism may be wrong as a system but that has nothing to do with the believers in it.
In the early days of the church, the Judaizers are those who have come into the church but have not genuinely believed in the Lord and His salvation. Instead, they try to introduce Judaism into the church. They have been blaspheming the Lord since the day He was on earth. After the church was produced, they continued to slander the apostles. Their slander was actually a reviling of the word of the gospel (Acts 13:45; 18:6; 19:9; 28:22; Rom. 3:8). We call these ones the Judaizers. They are not ordinary Jews. They creep into the church with the intention of mixing Judaic thoughts with the truth.
I cannot go too much into some of the teachings in question .... there are three that I can think of:
The first concerns their stand with regards to the law.
They base their teaching on the Old Testament law which is of two kinds, ceremonial and moral. The Lord came to annul the ceremonial ordinances. This means that He annulled the ceremonial law, but He kept the moral law. The Judaizers say that we should keep the Ten Commandments. Since the fourth commandment is the keeping of the Sabbath, they say we should keep the Sabbath as well. They say that the Sabbath should be kept on Saturday, not Sunday.
The second concerns their attitude towards the Lord's redemption.
They used Daniel 8:14 to say that when the Lord died on the cross, He shed His blood to redeem us from sin; yet the job was not completed. He had to wait until 2,300 years were fulfilled, when He would come again and bring the redeeming blood to heaven, that is, to the heavenly sanctuary. He would then cleanse the sanctuary and come back. They say that a day is a year, and 2,300 days means 2,300 years. But one cannot make a day a year here in Daniel 8 because the sanctuary was never trampled for that long. The Judaizers start counting from 457 B.C., the time of the little horn. This brings them to the year A.D. 1844. They say that this is the time when the little horn trampled the sanctuary. But this is contrary to facts. The 2,300 days in 8:14 are literally 2,300 nights and 2,300 days. It cannot refer to 2,300 years.
The third concerns their attitude towards life after death and the future judgment.
First, they believe that death is a kind of sleep in which the spirit, soul, and body all become dormant and lose all consciousness. Second, they say that after resurrection, there is no final judgment. They believe that after a man dies, his body, soul, and spirit are all annihilated.
