The Messianic Hall of Shame

[yedida]

YES.

I like what some of you believe, and not what others believe. There's a mix here. I enjoy the good stuff, but the bad stuff seems to shout the loudest.

What I can't understand is the constant flirtation with radical theology amongst a small few here. Why the forum does not stick to the great work being done by Messianics right now is beyond me. There's so much good work doing on, but it is ignored by this forum for the most part. If only some people here started taking the Jewish voices on the Messianic movement seriously. I think they are the best and worth hearing. I hear them.

Then you still have the choice to not raise the stir here.
Contra, I know you would not go into a friend's home to visit with him and his wife while being disrespectful of his mother, mother-in-law and son.
This place is something of a home too. To be disrespectful to some is to be disrespectful to all.

How is starting a thread about a Messianic leader or commenting about him in a thread titled "The Messianic Hall of Shame", "raising the stir"? Is this not the forum for just this topic?

You conveniently left out your comment about his cultish theology setting well with a select few on this forum. THAT statement was not so much about your leader person as it was a personal affront to every member of this forum, any one of which could be of the "select few," as it was quite obvious what your opinion was of this guy. (ref. post #64)

I still believe this is the case.

No it wasn't. Chill out. You're reading waaaaaaay too much into this.

If you say so...

That appears to happen a lot on the General Theology board also

Because you know the inconsistencies of this mentioned man. If you'd have raised the question with lets say David Stern or Dan Juster - men who are well respected in MJ then there wouldn't be an issue. And for Pete's sake - the title "Messianic Hall of Shame" says it all. You want to rub our noses in the dirt. Let's start a thread "Anglican Hall of Shame" and see what comes up. Should two play this game?
Perhaps it's because your Messianic friends actually have names and faces - and you would never think to disrespect them. But we're a bunch of nameless and some faceless boxes that you feel free to address. Is this how you admonish your congregation when someone is off the beaten track? "Dear congregants - you're all a bunch of dirtbags with faulty theology. And since I can't name names here I'll just hit you all and hopefully the bullet will strike it's mark.

In fairness to Contra, he neither started nor named this thread...that was
done by Heber.

 

[anisavta]

Opps - mybad . Sorry Contra.
However the Michael Rood thing is still - er rude. Still wish we could just have a forum where we can walk without having "our own" throwing mud. Ahhh and then I could buy some rosy glasses too...

 

[visionary]

I must say that the more posting is done, the more there is an effort to dialog better... by many of us who have learned where each of us are coming from. ..

Actually, not sure I do...

OK.

Well, as pointed out, I didn't start this thread, and yes, I wish someone would start an "Anglican Hall of Shame" thread over at STR! I assure you that would be a busy one!

Again...you're reading waaaay too much into this, and using a little too much hyperbole. I understand your point, but I think you have really, truly, and totally misunderstood my posts this week. It's ok...I should be much clearer with my posts, to help stop misunderstandings.
