Explain how this is different than what the Islamists want to do to us as well as to you??? It sounds like some want to turn Christians against the Jewish people. Mighty dangerous ground there.

I have to admit that I never heard of this cult until now. From the outside looking in, it appears they have some issues in common with the Muzzies, but they appear to me, as just modern day Pharisees. Jesus called them a brood of vipers, Matt 23:33.
If keeping the law is supposed to "attain" eternal life (gee, where have we heard that before?) how closely do they need to keep the law? Are they required to be perfect, or can they make a mistake here and there? Do they require us to keep the law perfectly, or can we make mistakes, and still "attain" eternal life? According to James 2:10, my opinion is, that if a person keeps the ENTIRE law perfectly, but makes one, tiny little mistake, they are in deep kimchi.
Do you suppose a Matt 23:4 applies here?😇🎯🙊🙈🙉🇵🇭

Good question. I wonder if they, like just about EVERY other religion in the world, thinks if you are a "good person", you "try your best", live according to the dictates of your conscience, "be nice", etc., you'll make it? That does seem to totally miss the point that Almighty God says that it is our SIN which separates us from Him and that His justice requires atonement for that sin. That without the shedding of blood, there is no atonement for sin (Leviticus 17:11). If all that was required is we say, "sorry", and that's all that is needed, then Adam and Eve could have done that and we would still be living in the Garden of Eden eating strawberries. ;o)
