The Messianic Movement, as a whole, does not have a creed to which everyone who takes the title 'Messianic' should adhere, although there are a few groups who have an in-house version. If we were writing a definitive Creed (in the style of the Apostles' or Nicene Creeds), for the Movement, what...

BBc just announcing that Gilad will be released in exchange for 'Palestinian' prisoners held by Israel.

Thought it might be worthwhile hearing what you guys think of this document. The words 'dabru emet' mean: Speak Truth National Jewish Scholars Project DABRU EMET A Jewish Statement on Christians And Christianity In recent years, there has been a dramatic and unprecedented shift in...

Sandmel, S. The Genius of Paul: A Study in History New York, Farra, Straus & Cudahy, (1958) If you've read it - any thoughts on it?

Good quote from the book I am reading: "One no longer can think of 'meaning' as an artefact that may be recovered from the text the way a potsherd is excavated from the ground" Worth remembering! Alan Cooper in Biblical Studies and Jewish Studies, The Oxford Handbook of Jewish Studies...

You can now buy the Messianic Jewish CJB side to side with the NIV Bible in one book. All the texts are printed, quite literally, side by side on each page so the left column is the CJB and the right column is the NIV. The size and weight of the Bible is not greatly increased by having the two...

Here's a matter for debate: Whilst in Germany we went to an English speaking Church and this is what appeared (verbatim) on the Order sheet and which the minister declared verbally: Almighty God in his mercy has given his Son to die for you and for his sake forgives you all your sins. As a...

Please pray for the UK as we see riots spreading. Not since the war have we seen so much of London in flames. Landmark shops and premises I've known since a boy are just burning down - of course, above the shops are homes that have also been destroyed and people have had to flee their homes to...

Bye folk, no more posts from me, ever again. I shall not return. I am accountable to G_d and not to man, as some posters seem to think I should be. The End.

Now you folk can debate the issue as fully as you want to... have fun!

Has anyone any information on published books/papers/other sources that address the argument (for or against) that Paul was a misogynist? I am looking, in particular, for academic material (but other sources will be appreciated), with a view to doing an MPhil on the subject. This thread is...

Open Google earth and go to Hebron. Hover your mouse over the various green /turquoise squares and one text will show that says 'Hebron colonist's garbage', another says, 'soldiers everywhere!' These are near the Jewish quarter. Anyone seen other texts like these on Google Earth?

Just wondering what happened on 13th January - not a single post was made! That's quite unusual given all the activity on here of late!

A number of you know I have been fighting great battles for almost a year now. It seems that I may have the opportunity to serve another fellowship in the north west of the country. It does mean that I shall have to take a pay cut of about 30% but at least it is doing what I have been called to...

I know we have had a thread about which Bible(s) people use but... reading through recent threads I have been struck by the fact that a number of people, when wishing to prove a point, use the King James Bible or at least a version that is written in olde English. I wonder why that is, given...

Thought you guys might like to read this: Contrary to the repeated statements by Palestinian Authority (PA) Chairman Mahmoud Abbas to foreign leaders that the PA recognizes Israel, the PA internally in Arabic continues to deny Israels existence and to present a world without Israel. The PA...

What if Yeshua had a Facebook page and posted on it all his thoughts, as we humans do - I wonder what those thoughts might be for the world today, and how many Facebook friends he'd have?

Given all the debates and arguments about Messianic Judaism I feel it is right to say, yet again, that Messianic Judaism (in any of its forms) does not yet have a defined, systematic theology or statement of faith that any who want to call themselves Messianic believers must adhere to. There...

Wondered what you folk might make of this. I know all about Christmas not being right, but notwithstanding that, what about the challenges presented here: So this is Christmas… sang the Beatles Well, Christmas is almost upon us! An un-holy mix of secular and religious time, each...

Not for me but for my oldest daughter (21) who is a theology student at a large UK university. Last week her car was badly damaged by a hit and run driver outside her home but she managed to get his number plate details and reported it to the police. He was caught and she made an insurance...
