Don’t know which side of the isle your on...my post is addressing Errant and Rood cult followers.....not true Messianic Jews....which Rood is not.
I will say though...my post on cults indeed is true on the similarities among them and false religions ...and what you can expect to see...Rood adheres to many of them.
Those I know who are true Messianic Jewish Christians, who believe in the Jesus Christ of the Bible for their Salvation..absolutely oppose Rood and his teachings for many of the reasons depicted on this thread.
Actually, Rood is closer to you than 'true Messianic Jews' are. Rood rejects the Teaching of the Elders (the Jewish Traditions), which Messianic Jews embrace.
I might add that the Karaites who are so roundly castigated in this thread ALSO reject the Jewish Tradition (the LITERAL Pharisaical tradition which IS the 'Judaizers' you rail against) 'Kara' means roughly 'Scripture alone', so Karaite Jews are to orthodox Judaism what Protestants are to Catholicism - They believe in sola-scriptura.
So if anything, you should have more against the Messianic Jews than you do Rood OR the Karaites.

Accepted. But what you fail to see is that Protestant Christianity meets several of those points itsef, and that you seem to be so inculcated with THOSE traditions, that it seems that you don't even know you are doing EXACTLY what you are preaching against.
Take that as it is meant - as an exhortation. I respect you - but it is all too evident that you do not respect me.

You wouldn't know - From what you are speaking, I don't believe you have ever listened to him at all... And what makes it funny is that even if Rood were gone today, these folks (that you express so much revulsion for) would still be there, and they would still be fed - For all that your ire is centered upon Rood, the Messianic movement, Messianics, Nazarenes, 'wannabe Jews' extend FAR beyond Rood.

They oppose him because he opposes the Tradition of the Rabbis. And as I have already stated, YOU are closer to Hebrew Roots folks -their doctrine is closer to yours - than the Messianic Jews... That being said, Hebrew roots folks are closer to each as they are in between the two.
