Question for moderators and site owner

[shmuel]

It was recently stated elsewhere that anyone with a messianic icon could debate in this section. Using my earlier analogy with Roman Catholics or Eastern Orthodox, just because someone used an icon for one of these faiths does not mean that they can hold any particular view and still be considered RC or EO. Now the rules for this section of the forum indicate one must be either Christian or Jewish. The definition of Christian is one who holds to the Nicean creed. So, unless I overlooked something (and that is certainly possible) if one is a gentile one must hold to the Nicean creed to post here. Is this correct? Also if one is to be Messianic one must observe Torah, although the manner of observance is not to be an issue. Correct?

Correct, but the person you've been arguing with all morning doesn't violate these rules.

Thanks for the reply, but my question was more general. Does a gentile have to believe in the Nicean creed to post here? While I am sure you know the content of the Nicean creed, just to be clear let me state what I understand the creed to be saying. Specifically that Yeshua (Jesus) is of the same substance as the Father, hence Deity. That he is eternally begotten not made, hence there never was a time that he didn't exist. And that He is distinct from both the Father and Ruach HaQodesh (the Holy Spirit).

Thanks in advance for your time

Yes.

#3) Non-Messianic members (eg. Protestant, Catholic, Orthodox Jewish members) can only post fellowship posts here or posts to ask a question regarding Messianic Judaism doctrine. Once the question is answered, there shall be no debate over the answer in this forum by the Non-Messianic members. Any debate posts by Non-Messianic members will be deleted or moved to the Interdenominational Doctrine Debate forum. In other words, only Messianic members can debate here.
[snip]

Messianic: A religious/faith group that believes and follows the Mosaic covenant given by G-d to all the Jews and also believes in Yeshua of Natzeret as the Jewish Messiah and deliver of all peoples.

A Christian who is also of the Jewish race is NOT a Messianic Christian according to the definition of this forum, and can post here like any other Christian but not debate in here as per our rules.

By these rules:
To post here both Jewish and Gentile persons must be Messianic by the definition above and believe that Yeshua is HaShem.

Jewish and Gentile persons who do not fit both of these requirements are not permitted to debate in this forum.

Now I am confused.

I had a thread here entitled "Is Yeshua G-D?" and a few answers were quite clear that while Yeshua is G-D, he most cetainly is NOT HaShem.
I do not recall any other member of this forum correcting those who said "Yeshua is not HaShem."

Are the members required to believe that Yeshua is HaShem... or only the Jews and Christians?

looks like i've missed out on a few little happenings round these here parts whilst I was agone.

I'm somewhat back, but I won't really be "back back" until tommorow.
