Well, i can't say the whole Torah is written in my heart, or maybe i don't know what it actually means to have the Torah written in my heart..
After reading Cody's convictions (post #95) it just seemed that he is actually more Jewish than a secular Jewish citizen of Israel that doesn't know G-D or an Orthodox Jewish citizen that doesn't know Yeshua HaMashiach as their L-RD.I cannot agree though that anyone who believes in Jesus is an automatic Messianic Jew, unless they were Jewish in the first place.
I am of the opinion that it is written there when we choose to obey it. For example, when I first received Yeshua as my Savior I was not a Sabbath keeper. After I studied it and accepted it as a commandment for NC believers, it was written on my heart.
A Messianic Jew is any person who believes Yahshua is the Messiah, and in the keeping of circumcision and the Festivals. (The Mosaic Laws)Yes, and the symbolism most miss on that flag is the blue stripes. You say they did not believe in Yeshua, but they did believe in him through his Father. Those blue stripes represent the blue cord in the tzitzit that are to remind us of his commandments, covenant and God in heaven.

Beautiful. Are you suggesting the Star of David is modeled after this plant? There are probably many things in nature that have six points, but none that have overlapping triangles.
Succulent Plant "Kalanchoe"
Do you have any info stating the dalet looked like a triangle in David's day as opposed to looking like the number 4 as in Paleo-Hebrew?
This sounds like wishful thinking. Do you have any evidence to support this?
You mean a tripping liberal?
(just a joke i couldn't resist to make, no offence)
Yes, that is a fact. Whether or not that is how the Star of David came about is an assumption.
So if the Star of David is really the idolatrous Star of Remphan mentioned in Acts 7:43, that would not concern you?
Originally the Messianic star was a five point star. Some time along the way it was changed to a six point star."How could four people — one in Switzerland, one in Israel, and two in the United States — come up with the same flag design? Was it just a coincidence, or could it have been something supernatural in nature?
I would argue that the Lord moved on their hearts with the same design and did so to affirm the fact that their design was the one that should be adopted by the new state (Nation).
The Star of David — Many sources claim this symbol did not originate until the Middle Ages, but that is not true. It can be found on the frieze of the 2nd Century synagogue in Capernaum. It also appears as part of the 1st Century symbol of the Messianic Church, which combined the symbols of the menorah, the star of David and the fish."

1 Samuel 16:7
But the LORD said to Samuel, “Do not look on his appearance or on the height of his stature, because I have rejected him. For the LORD sees not as man sees: man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart.”
Romans 2:28-29
28 For no one is a Jew who is merely one outwardly, nor is circumcision outward and physical.
29 But a Jew is one inwardly, and circumcision is a matter of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the letter. His praise is not from man but from God.
And besides nare we forget Paul's admonition ...
Galatians 3:26-28
26 For in union with the Messiah, you are all children of God through this trusting faithfulness;
27 because as many of you as were immersed into the Messiah have clothed yourselves with the Messiah, in whom
28 there is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor freeman, neither male nor female; for in union with the Messiah Yeshua, you are all one.
