“Ultra-Orthodox section of Jerusalem”

Wait, they practice religious segregation?

Who Knew

In answer to one of the comments at the original article, i.e. "Jews for Jesus is like Baptists for Buddha", Buddha wasn't a Baptist. But Jesus, Yeshua, was most certainly a Jew. And his disciples and earliest followers were as well.

Keeping to Torah laws and the Oral Traditions of Judaism is a choice some of them make. I believe, as Paul taught, that it's not necessary, but am not going to judge. I have a cousin on my mother's side who was brought up Christian and later became or tried to become a Messianic Jew by for a time trying to lead an observant life. Didn't work out, but it was her choice.

When we, as Jewish followers of Jesus, join the church and say, “We are Jewish Christians,” we are told, “Just drop the Jewish part.

Ephesians 2:15 - ". . . having abolished in His flesh the enmity, that is, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, so as to create in Himself one new man from the two, thus making peace, . ."

I reject Michael Brown as a truly screwed up person spouting lies and nonsense. You cannot be a Jew and believe in deities outside of Judaism. Virtually every prayer in a Jewish prayerbook declares that there is [for Jews] only ONE G-d and no other.

So deep is my contempt for Michael Brown and his lies and attempt to spread his bizarre personal weirdness that I have unsubscribed from Townhall, as they send me emails including garbage from Brown. He is not welcome in my home in any form.

Can I be a Christian if I do not recognize Jesus as my Lord and Savior?

Can I be a Moslem if I do not believe that Mohammad was The Messenger?

No.

And I cannot be a Jew if I do not worship only the One. I cannot worship His son, not His “Holy Spirit,” not the “Messiah,” not his Mother. I cannot bow to a statue of Him.

“Messianic Judiasm” makes as much sense as “Koranic Christian.” LESS sense, theologically!

How could God make a righteous judgment (And make sense along the way) unless He experienced what it's like to be human?... duh, Isiah 53 He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities.. The whole space/time/physical aspects are hilarious when people refuse to understand God is way beyond our understanding but leaves a lot of bread crumbs, especially if ethnic/cultural "perpetual victims" actually humble themselves.

And the Bram Center in Jerusalem, which is the focal point of the current controversy, carries this mission statement: “Building Torah-based Messianic Judaism in Israel.”

Here is the real issue. Modern Judaism is Talmud-based. Rabbinical Talmudic Judaism comes from the Pharisees, and central to it is the rejection of Jesus as Messiah.

To ask again: So, which is it? What do you expect us to do?

Join the one holy catholic and apostolic Church.

That is the real issue at hand.

Trying to re-construct, re-form, or re-constitute the body of Messiah (Christ) that one does not believe Yeshua (Jesus) succeeded in building and having prevail for the last twenty centuries is cognitive dissonance.
