    What do you think of the Ebionites?

    Yes and no, since it's obvious that the Messianic Jewish/Christian interpretation of 'all' scriptures can be debated. For example, you brought up the so-called "dual prophecy" of Isaiah 53. Please read the following counter-argument on the Outreach Judaism website and tell me what you think...

    What do you think of the Ebionites?

    I am curious to know the many different views that Messianic Jews of the Christian Forums might have of the Ebionites. For those of you not familiar with this sect, Wikipedia has the most comprehensive article on the subject at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ebionites. Thank you. -Ebion

    Real Christians Fight Intolerance

    A reverend declares that gay bashing is an attack on the gospel -- and that real Christians don't participate in any form of discrimination. Please read this thought-provoking sermon at http://www.alternet.org/story/38904/.

    For all those interested (specifically koilias, mylene, and sojeru) I posted an interesting but provocative thread on that subject in the Jewish Debates forum...

    Christian-Jewish Dialogue?

    Although families, friends and employers cutting off someone because he or she has converted to Messianic Judaism is sad and possibly a civil rights violation, it cannot be compared to the segregation and violence commited by Christians against Jews throughout ancient and modern history. I...

    Christian-Jewish Dialogue?

    Actually, wasn't it Saul of Tarsus who persecuted to death many of the first followers of Jesus? Although I would never defend persecution, how do you expect Jewish and Roman authorities to react to people who are possibly causing civil unrest by preaching to the masses what these authorities...

    Christian-Jewish Dialogue?

    I agree with everything you said. I have to say that you are the most open-minded and liberal Messianic Jew I have ever I met online, which makes me happy to know that there are probably more of you out there. By the way, you never replied to my last post in my first thread...

    Christian-Jewish Dialogue?

    How is it an error when Jews should not have to convert to Christianity nor believe that Jesus is the Mashiach in order to have a relationship with God as Hix explained above? Has non-Messianic Judaism's view of Jesus contributed to anti-Christian discrimination, pogroms or Holocausts? The...

This position paper calls upon Christians to: Stop trying to convert Jews to Christianity; Reject Biblical interpretations which negatively stereotype Jews, as...

    Ebionites: The Real Jewish Followers of Jesus?

    I do but, as I said, I don't have the time nor the interest to debate this particular topic for now. Wrong. Not all the lost tribes have returned to the Promised Land yet.(See Isaiah 43:5-6, Jeremiah 16:15, 23:3; Isaiah 11:12; Zechariah 10:6; and Ezekiel 37:21-22) After the building of the Third...
