No he was talking about a thread I started where he started his tirade against this. What I posted was not about "US nationalism". I posted a thread about the Jews first home in the modern world where they could practice their religion without fear and before Israel was even made a nation. A place where Jews were welcome. On the channel I get, Jewish TV they had a special yesterday about this and were discussing a letter sent to George Washington by a congregation in Rhode Island. They talked about the careful wording, and other things. I thought this would be something to share with my friends in MJ.

I see a campaign against this as anti-Jewish and there's no place for that here.

I didn't even see that!

In my view, regionalism/nationalism discredits MJ.

I agree.

I know what you are saying too. For example: lots of countries have opened (and closed) their doors to the Jews in history. Including the USSR (ironically, they gave a whole region to the Jews) but you don't hear about it as much because people tend to love their own countries more than others- nationalism/patriotism. And it brings division in the end.

The New Testament actually says that if something as innocuous as eating meat pushes your brother away, you should reconsider eating meat. And that's not because there is anything wrong with (clean) meat itself.

Obviously I am here comparing meat with American politics/nationalism.

America does NOT unite us. It divides us, and alienates many. Like it or not.

And that is NOT because of anything inherently wrong with the US itself. In fact this problem exists with ANY form of nationalism.

Thank you, ContraMundum.

And yes, it is true, the Jews had their own "oblast" in Russia. Probably not as sunny as southern Cali ;)

Lulav: You should not feel singled out, as this is an ongoing phenomenon. It wasn't actually your post that began this. Your thread probably holds a lot of interest for certain people.

For example, there was another thread just recently that equated the US (government?) to the "House of David". How more Mormon can it get ?

Imagine if somebody compared another nation or another nation's government to the "House of David". You'd like reading that ?

Wrong, my thread was why you started it. You even complained in my thread and took it off course before anyone else could post on it.
How Jews helped found America
You started this thread of yours on Monday at 6:25 PM Which was exactly 3 minutes after you posted this in my thread:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hoshiyya Monday at 6:22 PM Faith:Non-Trinitarian-Messianic

Didn't know George Washington was a Rabbi...

What does this have to do with MJ ?
Shouldn't there be an "American Issues" sub-forum for localistic, regional / nationalistic issues like this ?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So how can you say and want people to believe my thread had nothing to do with it. Gimme a break/.

Then you couldn't leave it alone and came back on Monday at 8:04 PM and posted

second post How Jews helped found America
heheh... No, I haven't, but if I did, it wasn't American local news.

Are you interested in this forum being flooded with news from eg. Russia, Tajikistan, Britain, France, Gambia or Venezuela, perhaps ?

Didn't think so.

Which had nothing to do with the thread I started.
You also misrepresented it by calling it American local news.
It wasn't even 'News'.
It was about Jewish history.

Everyone saw your attack on it as inappropriate, uncalled for and just downright mean. You won't even acknowledge your remarks were wrong and you were also wrong in starting a campaign against this in a Messianic Jewish forum to say Jewish History does not belong in this forum.

And to answer your question??

Yes, as a Jewish Messianic member of this forum for over a dozen years I am FREE to post things like this about Jews, as many as I want, whenever I want wither from my country or abroad.

Why are you doing this Hoshyiah?


The story I posted is of interest to all Jews, thus it should be of interest to MJ, Jew or Gentile.
I think he is upset with me for posting a prayer. Under a Thread heading.

If I am the one he is upset with. I apologize.
Being a vet I remember the oaths to protect people with my Life.
As I understood Benjamites did the same.
A prayer is a prayer.
Giving thankyou was my intention.
If this causes turmoil in someone I am sorry again.

Please don't apologize, your intention was genuine and those who are vets would understand.
Thank you for your service.

If people see God's hand in it, prophetic relationship, sign of the times, I don't care which nation is mentioned. True we all see that which is closest to home. And yes, the vast majority of us are in North America and are affected by what is happening here. It would be like the believers [supporters of Jews] in Germany during the second world war, if it were today, we would be talking about the effects of Nazi ideology has upon our society and its people and how we perceive God's hand in all this. Because we believe God is involved in all aspects of our lives no matter where we live.
