My wife is an Ashkenazi Jew. Her father escaped Nazi Germany by the skin of his teeth. I apparently have "Jewish DNA" on both sides of my family (my sister had a couple of those genetics tests done as she is really into family history). But I always said having a gene or two in the pool does...

Another problem is that anyone wishing to worship the God of Abraham alone has always been admitted into the religion as a proselyte, and thus into the nation and the gene pool. There were Egyptians and others at Sinai, Joseph married an Egyptian and Moses a Midianite and possibly later an...

Islam is a religion, not a people. It has taken over many peoples, so there are many relationships. However according to a Moody class my wife took (and I unashamedly looked over the materials) there is a common misconception regarding the lineage of the Arabic people that they are descended...

BroTan, Pretty good there, except I believe if one is truly grafted in, an heir by adoption, then he would become an Israelite. But then it becomes incumbent on him to be obedient. "If ye love me, keep my commandments." John 14:15. The only place those could be found was in the Old Testament...

It's all one book! To follow the New is to follow the Old. The real question is "must the Jews accept Jesus as their Messiah and Savior?" The answer to that is a resounding "Yes!"

I don't know about that link, but I can say about the quote above: Yeshua-Salvation is called the Word, and the Word of God in the Old Testament was given by Him. As the Word Made Flesh He spoke on Torah (the reference to Moses- Torah is also called the Books of Moses). There was no New...

2 Timothy 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: When that was written there was no New Testament. Think: the New Testament was in part being penned at the time! And the documents you...

An "atheist and a homosexual" writing poems- what better thing to base your salvation on? Look, I cannot judge your experience with the divine. However it sounds questionable enough that I can advise you to look closely and determine for yourself based on the whole word of God; the 66 book...

Bull. So if the "Old Covenant" is so repugnant to you, would you say the "Ten Commandments" are also done away with; are they also abhorrent to your theology?

That would explain a lot ... Are you really so proud of that you'd come on a Christian forum and admit it? I am a sheep; a willingly led disciple of Jesus as God With Us. I am not however "easily led" by any worldly authority. Anyone who knows me would laugh themselves silly to hear you say...

Actually I've read those 613 so called "laws" in their original (but translated to English) format. I know where they are from. Like I said earlier, they are "biblically based," but not actually biblical. They are from the Talmud, and are the later rabbi's interpretations of Torah. Since you...

Luke 22:36 He said to them, “But now let the one who has a moneybag take it, and likewise a knapsack. And let the one who has no sword sell his cloak and buy one.

Oh, I understand. I just don't think you do. You keep throwing out those English translated scriptures wit "the Law" like you know what it is. Tell me, what is the Hebrew term translated as "Law" in your Bible? Hint: look it up in something other than Strong's.

Oh, and where might that be?

Yes, but those same admonitions; the same blessings and curses apply to any and all of those claiming the name(s) of the God of Israel. The church today is largely apostate. Growing up the son of a Southern Baptist minister in the 50' and 60's even back then I heard many a conversation by other...

I think you have a distorted view of scripture, history, and the present there. Scripture- God said He does not change, and I take Him at His word (Mal 3:6, Heb 13:8). The Jews are still His chosen people, and the promises made to them still are in effect. To say different is to say God is a...

Wait a minute: you say forgiveness is no longer required, then you post 2 scriptures from the NT that say it still is. Explain please ...

Yes, I quoted that: What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can that faith save him? ... So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead." (James 2:14,17 ESV) But you are correct, that verse does sort of summarize my entire post.

Looking to improve my prayer life I cam across this. The author is Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks, a British Orthodox rabbi and leading philosopher and theologian. He served as the spiritual head and Chief Rabbi of the United Hebrew Congregations of the Commonwealth. Now, the Orthodox have some...

Gotta luv them "pre-call calls!" The doc must have more clout than me (go figure, huh?). I go in for my Pet Scan tomorrow.
