Looks like we're not gonna get any of our questions answered on here. -
How do the believers in Christ differ from Israel?
Swords99 replied to Retrobyter's topic in Theology
Theology varies widely among Messianic Jews, but some believe that the laws of the Torah, such as observing Shabbat, holidays, and circumcision must be obeyed today. If a Messianic Jew believes in Christ alone for salvation and not law keeping, great. However, we can't say this is true of all of them. . -

Let's play nice. You said messianic Jews will be raptured. Can you show us chapter and verse of where the bible says this? -
Amen. Well said.

I never said those things weren't in the bible. What I said was the apostles creed was not written by the apostles as many erroneously believe. The early church believed in the Scriptures as their standard for Truth. They didn't need creeds, although there's certainly nothing wrong with creeds as long as they are scriptural.

I believe something is wrong with these people, but it's not caused by any sin they have committed and were punished for it. This was, and maybe still is, a Jewish belief as we see in the bible concerning the man born blind. It was asked of Jesus if he or his parents had sinned. Concerning gays, I have noticed their effeminate appearance and stance. This is not learned behavior. They almost all look this way. Many gay males are shorter in stature with higher voices. Just makes you wonder about genetics, etc. I once saw a TV interview with a gay catholic priest. He said he tried everything to get 'cured' or healed, but nothing worked. There is also a gay Episcopal priest on TV every week. he said he was born gay but refuses to live that lifestyle. It has never left him. What do we say about folks like this?

It’s Official: Mormon Founder Had Up to 40 Wives

Yep, it's Palmyra and yes, they still do the Hill Cummorah Pageant every July for 2 0r 3 weekends. It's still attracting thousands all over the U.S. and other places. It's also a great place to witness to them. -

I can't tell you how many times I have heard a pastor or Bible teacher say there's no such things as Messianic Judaism. Either one is a Jew or a Christian. To mix in law keeping nullifies God's grace. The author of the book of Hebrews spends much time trying to convince these Hebrew believers in Christ who were still keeeping the law, to get off the fence and go all the way with Christ and leave Judaism behind. Have you ever spoken to a Jewish person? They are not looking for heaven, but for their Messiah to come to earth and rule as their king in Jerusalem. -

Jews do not have a heavenly kingdom. They are waiting for their King/Messiah to come and set up His earthly kingdom in Jerusalem. This is the gospel of the kingdom which will be preached during the tribulation via the 144,000 Jewish males. The Jewish remnant during the Tribulation also have an earthly kingdom. You are correct in that only believing Jews go to heaven, because they are now Christians. No Jew gets a free ticket just because they are born Jewish. ALL must come to saving faith in Christ. There is only ONE plan of salvation for both Jew and Gentile. -

Are you referring to upstate New York? I live a short drive from the Joseph Smith farm and the 'sacred grove'. Every year the Mormons have their Hill Cummorah Pageant. It's a play they put on involving a cast of hundreds and people from all over come to watch it.
