JTA - Religious Jews support U.S. Sen. John McCain for president in much higher numbers than non-religious Jews, a poll found.

The 39 percent of U.S. Jews who said religion is important in their daily lives evenly split their support for the presumptive candidates in November -- Arizona's McCain for the Republicans and Illinois Sen. Barack Obama for the Democrats -- at 45 percent, according to a Gallup Poll released Tuesday. more

The speculation has been for some time that McCain will do better than the most recent Republican candidates for President and may well surpass Reagan's 39% of the Jewish vote in 1980. more

‘Religion’ should play a BIG role. The evidence is overwhelming that Obama is a muzzie:

As spiritually bankrupt that McCain is, at least he is under the WORD sometimes. We know that God says that His Word will not return void. Some has to stick.

at least he is under the WORD (logos)sometimes

A horrible Arian heritic you are, sir! Lucian followed in the tradition of Paul of Samosata (see article on Monarchianism), but represented an advance over the adoptionist view that Jesus was a mere man supernaturally endowed with the Holy Spirit. He believed that there was a Logos (word), or personal divine power, created by the Father, that became incarnate in Jesus. Lucian thus sought to integrate the concept of the Logos, into the monarchian insistence that only the Father is fully and truly God. He saw the Logos as a kind of intermediate, created spiritual being between God and man. Essentially, Lucian taught this idea to Arius, whose rallying cry became the assertion that the Logos, i.e. the Son, is a created being-- higher than any other, but different in essence from the Father. Although Lucian and Arius seemed to be interested primarily in the nature of Christ, the Arian controversy is called Trinitarian, not Christological, because the point at issue was the relationship between the Father and the Son in the Trinity. Arius did not in fact have a true Trinity. The later controversies that are called Christological did not deal with the relationship between the Father and the Son within the Trinity, but with the relationship between the deity and humanity of Christ.

Followed the link. The article was written in the publication: “JTA”. It merely says it’s the “Global News Service of the Jewish People”. But, I could not find anywhere what “JTA” stood for.

Anyhow, it all seemed like “Obama-friendly” territory to me.

The Son of God was NOT called Jesus until Bethlehem. His Eternal Name is “The Word”.

If one believes the Bible, Ref. The Gospel of John 1:1-2.
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God”.

If one does not believe the Bible, the discussion is over because we have no other foundation that has stood the test of time as long as the Bible, The Written Word of God.

Is John right or are the synoptic gospels right? Did Jesus spend one passover in Jerusalem or three?
