    Richard Dawkins

    I am not sure how many of you have heard of Richard Dawkins. Not only is he anti religion but he also appears to be an anti Israel and possibly an anti semite. This is a quote from a recent interview in a British newspaper: http://books.guardian.co.uk/news/articles/0,,2180660,00.html This guy...

    [OPEN]Tallitot

    I was wondering what your views on the wearing of tallitot are? Of course for men there isn't much discussion here but what about for women, do you think women should wear them in a synagogue. What about gentile Christians? I recently saw a letter in a Jewish news paper expressing disgust...

    Something wonderful is happpening here

    Well I think it is great anyway. We read in our local paper that there is likely to be a development of 1,000+ new houses built by and for an Orthodox community. So in a couple of years we won't need to keep traveling to London to purchase our kosher stuff. Currently the only other Jews in the...

    Scared of Moving Forward

    I couldn't believe it when I heard this. A lecturer in a British Theological College saying that students should not under any circumstances use the Internet for research. Now I appreciate that not everything on the Internet is reputable but to rule it out isn't that a little extreme? It would...

    Kosher food

    I know most of you try to eat Kosher, which looking at it is very admirable given the difficulties in the west. I do have a couple of questions for you, mainly to help with my understanding. On a Jewish (non-messianic) site, it stresses that if you use a dishwasher, you should run it between...

    Describe Messianic Jewdaism

    My wife is looking to do a placement for her Bible college course with a messianic synagogue and I was just wondering what you guys would consider to be the key differences between Messianic Jewdaism and Christianity. I know that you would use the name Yeshua rather than Jesus but after that I...

    One Point Calvinist

    You have all heard of TULIP and probably know what it stands for, you probably also know them as the five points of calvinism. I have come to the conclusion that there is only one point in Calvinism and that is GOD. As Calvinists we believe everything is centred on God, no works or anything...

    The Nature of Evil

    There seems too be a common view around - mainly I believe coming from eastern mysticism - that evil is itself a force, in an almost tangeable way. For me this is unbilical as that would have required God to have created evil, which clearly cannot be the case. My understanding is that evil is...
