Not quite. The “Jesus” promoted by groups like J4J still make out to be someone more resembling Plato than the historic person Yeshua. Groups like J4J criticize “the rabbis” and pretend that Yeshua was unlike the sages of the day. Sure, He was qualitativly better, but still used the same language and methods.. and the religion... of ancient Judaism.

I believer our founding fathers hated government but saw it as a necessary evil to keep us from anarchy, but an evil to be watched and carefully controlled.

The TEA party has much in common with our founders.

Are Jews descendants of the tribe of Judah, or practitioners of Judaism?
Would this left-winger have any objection to Jews for Atheism?

What a bunch of baloney. ALL of the early disciples of Jesus, including Jesus Himself
were observant Jews.

The Jews are blinded, Paul says, so I wouldn't be too hard on them.

However, they will get to Heaven through Jesus, or they wont get there at all.

[T]he notion that you can accept Jesus Christ as your savior and remain Jewish does remind me of the transvestite I met once at a drag ball

Just wondering what the Prophets would say about about going to drag balls.

And he think’s he’s so much smarter than his wife. He better hope she’s smarter than he is. Smart enough not to waste her time reading his columns.

One slight edit...Translation: “I’m extremely open-minded about drag queens, but I draw the line at Christians and libertarians,”... (besides I’m an Atheist, God-Damn it!)

Ding-ding-ding! We have a winner!

He is not a Jew who is a Jew outwardly; he is a Jew whose heart is circumcised toward God.

” Translation: “I’m extremely open-minded about drag queens, but I draw the line at Christians and libertarians.””

Good translation.

[stephenjohnbanker]

” The Apostles were the first “Jews for Jesus”.”

The truth offends.
We are wired to recognize the truth.

He sees the truth, but doesn’t want to go there.

This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil.

You got to get a charge out of some folks, they get all more charged up against a religious group who espouses “Jews for Jesus” yet remain quiet when a tin horn like Ahmandinijad threatens to obliterate Israel or when Obama dictates where the Jews can build houses in Israel.

East Germany was probably a nicer place to live in versus Chicago.

The Lives of Others (German: Das Leben der Anderen) is a 2006 German drama film . . . :

Probably my favorite movie. East Germany was a police state hell hole but it is still probably better than Chicago, Detroit, and other liberal cities. East Germany probably had less corruption than Chicago.

I would bet for sure that Czechoslovakia under communism was better than Chicago.

"The key fact about Jews for Jesus is that its founder, Moishe Rosen, who died last week at 78, had been a Baptist minister for 20 years when he formed the group in San Francisco in 1973.

....And he was a Jew for Jesus. I wonder which part of "Jesus" Mr. Steinberg is confused about. Jews for Jesus is and always has been very direct and utterly clear about who they are.

“I never thought I’d live to see the day when would-be leaders are so captivated by their pet philosophies they would question 50 years of racial progress...”
What he means is, he never thought he’d live to see the day when a real live politician dares to question his sacred cows!

"Jews ought to take seriously Jesus’ claim to be their Messiah."

We have thanks, and he isnt the one.

[blasater1960]

"I think Isaiah was the first Jew for Jesus :)"

Nope, Yeshayahu (Isaiah) didnt speak of him either.

[blasater1960]

"I wonder which part of "Jesus" Mr. Steinberg is confused about. "

Probably the part that Christianity has nothing to do with being Jewish. The two are mutually exclusive, in spite of the claims to the contrary of J4J.

[blasater1960]

"The Apostles were the first “Jews for Jesus”."

And the last.
