    Leaving

    Shalom to all, Following the recent events in this forum and the fact that I feel both Jews and those who don't adhere to the Nicene Catholic Creed are losing space here, I have decided to say goodbye. Some of my posts have been censored even though they were not debating theology. I understand...

    Is Yeshua G-d?

    Can I answer that one? We Jews believe it to be a case of majestic plural, intended to differenciate between the True G-d of Israel and pagan deites also called "El". Plural forms in semitic tongues in order to express superiority is not uncommon. Ba'al, for instance, is a plural form, but that...

    Question concerning relations with other Jews

    One Messianic did give me an explanation I found quite interesting, and far more acceptable than that of Protestantism. She said she didn't really worship "the man Jesus", but rather the Spirit of G-d that she believed dwelled "in his flesh". Now, I can argue whether or not the Spirit of G-d...

    Question concerning relations with other Jews

    Talmidah is right. There are diffent definitions of what a Jew is. One is the secular definition and the other is the halachah. Let us not forget for instance that for the purpose of aliyah, if your father has a Jewish mother you are still Jewish. In Halachah, this is not the case. Dave

    Question concerning relations with other Jews

    Oy, no! But I do believe that those Jews who believe in Jesus and yet choose to remain Jewish should be welcomed in our shuls and communities and should not be looked down on. As long as they don't try to convert anyone, of course. In a nutshell, they deserve the same treatment Chabad...

    I came to say good bye

    Let me just say that you are possibly one of the most Israel-loving followers of Jesus I have ever met.

    Question concerning relations with other Jews

    Chuva, I can see that you are very young and as it is characteristic of the youth, you have very strong opinions. However, I wouldn't go as far as labelling Messianics as idolaters. So what if they believe that G-d walked the Earth? How does that make G-d any different? Maybe we disagree with...

    Does Faith in God Save the Jew?

    If I break any rules I apologize in advance and understand if my post gets deleted, but I have to say this: It still amazes me that people believe that a JEWISH Messiah whom they identify as the G-D OF ISRAEL HIMSELF INCARNATE would cast most of Israel in hell. Sounds like the greates oxymoron...

    Are the Jews saved...

    If Jesus is G-d and G-d's salvation, and if I as a Jew confess G-d and confess G-d's salvation, am I still going to be thrown in hell? Curiously, the Temple did exist for a while after Jesus' death. How does that fit your theology? I'm asking an honest question, not challenging you in any...

    Question concerning relations with other Jews

    Nehemiah_Center, I'm sorry but opposition to Messianics by some anti-missionary groups are as strong as the disrespectful proselytism done by some Christian groups. Every coin has two sides. Would there be a need for anti-missionaries if there weren't missionaries in the first place? And by...

    Question concerning relations with other Jews

    Actually, if you were born to a Jewish mother, then there's no way you can become a non-Jew, religiously speaking. They are Jews who are not considered to be practicing Judaism, but Jews nevertheless. Sometimes however it takes more than being a Jew. For example, to be entitled to aliyah one...

    Are the Jews saved...

    Actually, the concept of being born again predates Christianity by a wide margin. In Judaism when one converts it is said that the soul made teshuvah to Judaism and therefore was reborn Jewish. When I read that passage of your New Testament if I think in terms of the religious context of that...

    Are the Jews saved...

    Well, I use a Chabad Siddur. It's in the Amidah... "Melech Memit Umechayei umiatzmiyach yeshuah" ;-)
