I got this in my email, Shiloh. I think you'll like it.

Please forgive the ignorance displayed by this confused kid.......and forgive him. It's obvious to everyone that he knows not what he's talking about. No need to rub it in....

Cultural christians may be satisfied with that kind of theological vacancy....but ultimately Israel has nothing to worry about. The Lord of Hosts is your Redeemer!

As I read His Word and the more I study it. In my opinion it still says the same thing.

I am trying to understand your side. I just dont get it. I am not insulting you. So Please stop the remarks. and name calling. Just like the quote, Can we overcome this now. and move on, without putting each other down now.

That is fine, but I didn't engage in any name calling.

[Guest yod]

just as an aside...you know what I think the problem is?

Because the Bible makes a distinction regarding the jews, people get all hyper-sensitive about them.

For example;

I've met quite a few people that think it is wrong for the MJAA (Messianic Jewish Alliance of America) to only have jews as voting members. There are plenty of gentiles involved but they can only be associate members.

The people who object do so on the basis of the "wall of partition" being broken down between us. That's understandable....but it's the wrong way to look at it.

Would we be as upset if the "Phillipino Christians of America" only allowed Phillipinos who are christians and live in America to be voting members?

For some reason people get all weird when jews are involved.

Another example:

I don't think Santyfied would dare say that black people caused slavery.

Good point, Yod.

It is amazing how the rules change whenever Jews are involved, isn't it?

I remember Idolsmasher saying it was wrong for a Jewish country (Israel) to be run by a Jewsih majority, yet when asked if it was wrong for Arab countries to be run by Arab majorities, he would do his famous disappearing act to avoid answering the question.
