Is it always like this?

I think it means, if you define a christian as one that believes in Y-shua yes she is, if you define a christian as one that belives that the christian doctrines created by man are mandatory, like the Eucharist, then she is not.

Thank you... your are a good man Stone

the christian doctrines created by man.... like the Eucharist

You don't think the Lord's Supper was given by God??

This would make a good thread subject on it's own...

OK, This I can understand.

I mean Christian in the sense of faith in the Messiah (Christ) but in the jewish sense.

This I still don't get (and I promise I'm not trying to be difficult). Would stone's statement above basically sum up what you are saying here?

 

[visionary]

Yep....

 

[Talmidah]

Yep....

Ah! Thank you, visionary!

Everyone calls Contra a "she" for some reason. I don't get it, lol...

Even the name doesn't necessarily imply female.

We call it passover. A Messianic Passover observance is an awesome experience.

For some bizzare reason I cannot understand why you think church traditions are not "Messianic". Perhaps this could be debated in the debate sub-forum?

I'd relish the opportunity to compare 21st Century Christianity as you understand it and classical Christian Orthodoxy with 1st Century Judaism just to see who comes up looking the most like 1st Century Judaism.

I'd be interested to read a discussion on this. Fire up the debate subforum, says I.

I'm a he.

I think it must have been the snazzy new avatar that tipped *me off. It just ain't "girly," somehow, if ya' know what I mean.

Pretty SMO-KIN', CM!

 

[simchat_torah]

I have a sneaky suspicion that contra would be right

Isn't Christian Messianic, double speak?

Technically so is "Messianic Judaism". I have a Jewish friend, and she hates the term as all Jews believe in a "messiah"... whether he has come yet or not. She always says the term is redundant.

I agree with your friend. That is why they were called "the Way, a sect of the Jews."

I do it twice a week.

I also do Pesach Haggadah at the appropriate time.

Life is good.

funny, my exposure to Jews has had a somewhat different conclusion. In my experience a great many, here and abroad, don't believe in a Messiah of any kind. Not even the unidemensional "Messianic Age" much less a living and breathing individual called the Messiah. Heck, most of them don't even believe in G-d.

Perhaps he was referencing observant Jews.
