OK, OK, OK. I hereby denounce Rock Wiles. But where do they FIND such unappetizing, unheard-of pangolins?
The article has two authors. One is an Orthodox Jew, the other a Messianic Jew. Michael Brown is a Messiaic Jew who is also Pentecostal I believe.
And if you call them on it you’re anti Semite
“This article is total baloney.”
You’re as confused as the article’s author and perhaps as bigoted as the man he writes about.
It seems to me that one can be a Jew and believe in Jesus as the Messiah and one's personal savior. All of the writers of the Brit Chadashah (New Testament) were Jewish. Most of the first Christians were Jews, and that remained the case for decades following the crucifixion of Jesus. There are several Messianic Jewish synagogues in my area.
I don’t think Luke was a Jew.
Ibtz
He is a hate filled bigot, pray he finds the truth of Yeshua.
That’s because you dont hang out with the anti semitic fools that claim to be Christians but show by their actions they never knew Christ.
For some reason they love microphones though.
They also cannot comprehend Roman’s 10 and 11, or have never read it.
Christian’s are their only friends, but many wear the label on an empty suit.
I have never before heard of this man. He sounds like he is a bit crazy.
If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

I take issue with the headline, the entire article is about Rick Wiles who in no way speaks for Christians. He seems to be more of a media person, formerly with MSNBC, CNN, Christian Broadcasting and Trinity Broadcasting, there's not much in his few bios to suggest any religious training or affiliation with recognized Christian denominations. He's the Pastor of a church in Florida, runs a successful website, and has been credentialed by the White House. Which doesn't make him a spokesman for Christians.
"One can", which is not the same thing as "one MUST"
St. Paul respected Jews even as he rejected the Judaizers.
As I respect Jews. I did not say one must. I was answering a post that stated one could not be a Jew and a Christ worshipper. I disagree
Correct. But plenty of the reverse is out there.
Well, the Nazarenes I’ve met in Israel were always very nice and good people. I used to work as a tour guide in Arab-controlled areas and got to know them well.
Generally speaking, Israel likes them.
The exception are the Satmars (also in Lakewood NJ) and NKs, both groups hate all other Jews.
True, 98% of Orthodox Jews are anti-Christian.
The term Messianic Jew (you forgot to capitalize - some bias there perhaps) is self explanatory.
Orthodox Jews accept the Torah and its commentaries as their only religious input.
False. Like all religions, Judaism has become corrupted. In its case, supplemented by oral teachings. If only Orthodox Jews omitted the leaven and did follow the Torah to the letter.
Messyonics believe that you can be a Jew AND believe in J.C. Actual Jews (not Messyonics, who are cult members) recite prayers every single day declaring that there is only one G-d that they worship. The Christian religions have G-d and J.C.
Yeshua is the son of God. Some Christian religions (maybe most) attempt to make them one in the same to get around the above. A literal reading of the scriptures lays is out perfectly.
This article is total baloney.
No, it's not "total" baloney. As someone who once supported Wiles, I do denounce Wiles for reducing Jewish/Christian religious differences to emotional, sometimes outrageous, soundbites. Wile's knowledge of the Bible is superficial. After I realized this, I pretty much stopped listening to him.
If Wiles said this, then Wiles is failing to follow Christ's first command to love one another.
Protestant Christians need more pastors who align their message in the style of Billy Graham and not Rick Wiles. And Catholics, what's with Pope Francis?
Not directed at you, but It surprises me how little real knowledge of scripture many of today's Jews have - just my observation - and I can say the same about many of today's Christians.
