Who is a Jew or the nation Israel.

Now everyone can see that I have three bumps. Bumping for Newbies.

I would like you all to back up and take a serious look... and ask yourself.. does this effect your own personal salvation?

 

[yedida]

Are they painful?

Are they painful?

Yes, it is a pain. I see that I have more than three bumps.

That is a possibility.

 

[visionary]

it what way?

 

[GuardianShua]

In what way?

By looking over what is written in scriptures and this thread, a person could make a choice for life from it. I have even heard of people coming to Christ through songs.

 

[yedida]

My DH did. We'd been at an all day seminar which ended with an open air Paul Wilbur concert. It was during Behold He Comes that he made the final major decision.

Unfortunately, some here don't

Do Orthodox Jews ever speak out against Rabbi's teaching falsehoods? That is, things contrary to scriptures.

This comes from someone who obviously doesn't know Judaism. Judaism teaches one to question everything, challenge your beliefs, and not just believe blindly.

At this point, I'd say you're bumping for your own ego. Not for anyone else's benefit... everyone has had a chance to see it by this point and would have commented if they wanted to.

Well, I respect the notion that theoretically Judaism teaches that one should and can question anything, but in real life it's almost the opposite. There are a great many things that Jewish religious leadership will not tolerate being questioned. I've had rabbis flat-out refuse to discuss certain issues and go silent on questions I've asked, even when I was a young man.

Under that situation I would have to believe that they don't know the answer or that the true answer, if given, would get them into trouble wth their peers. I don't care if it's a Jewish rabbi, a Messianic teacher, or Baptist minister.

Bump

Contrary to popular belief, Jews are not a race, but a assembly of peoples.

They are the congregation of Zion. And that is according to scripture and history.

Nope. Jews are descendants of Abraham>Isaac>Jacob. What you're suggesting is replacement theology.
