Looks like we're not gonna get any of our questions answered on here.

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.

Trinity is just another word for Godhead. I do see the Godhead in the Bible.

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?

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.

Ask any gay person and they will tell you they were born this way. So what does that say? It is sin? A mental illness?

There was no Nicene creed for the first 3 centuries. The so called apostles creed was not written by the apostles. Nor is it found in the Bible.

Amen! The early Christian church had no creed but the Holy Scriptures. The Word and the Spirit was (is) the head of the church, not man.

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.

Remember, Jesus is God. We cannot understand everything about God.

Can you tell us how you happened to believe in Nestorianism?

God's eternal purpose is to bless the world through Israel. Salvation is of the Jews. Billy Graham would always say that America will remain greatly blessed by God as long as she supports Israel. We did for the most part until Obama. Maybe it is too late but that's all part of God's plan. He alone is Israel's Protector.

The Nation of Israel. Did not Trump say that Netanyahu and Israel have his support?

I always thought it meant that Jesus was 2 separate persons. If he has 2 different personalities as you say, then was he schizophrenic? Did he have multiple personalty disorder? It just doesn't make any sense. I wouldn't follow a man who had to introduce a teaching/doctrine. Stick with the Holy Scriptures.

I was thinking the same thing. It may be God's will that He alone is Israel's Protector. That she depend only on Him and return to their first love.

An America that isn't relevant is an America I don't and wouldn't recognize. Something major would have to happen first. America has always had the status of protecting defensive-less countries/people. Even when we were neutral under FDR, we eventually entered world war 2.

Ahh, ok. first time I heard that. Something to think about.

I wondered the same thing that perhaps America will be too battle weary.

I agree, but what did you mean when you wrote: "the Revelation passages are references to such things as Replacement Theology (the church has replaced Israel)." ?
