I hate to use his name.....do you know Hizikyah here? ( that how you spell it?, IDK)
(What up Hiz, if you read this)
You ever read his posts?
He mixed Old and New Testament verses, and does such in an odd Messianic-Hebrew-Jewish-Christian-Legalist way.
Many have battled him......he even discredits Paul?? (which I don't agree with)
It's like he reads OT and NT, and overshoots it, overanalyzes it, and has no trust for the teachings of another man.
I feel for him, he's an alright guy. People are harsh on him.
Weird thing is...Hiz is NOT a Messianic Jew. He might as well be one though.
But he's the perfect example of how a Messianic Jew must see scripture somewhat......like literally, that whole to every letter- type way.
It's almost intriguing to see how he views scripture...I don't agree.... but this is my best example here on CC.
First you have to understand how they view OT and how they follow Christ's teachings.....then you can start to see where I am going with all of this.
