Very cool. I'm too Goy to really get away with calling myself a Messianic Jew, but that's the congregation I worship with. Incidentally, the thought process that brought me to that way of worship and life was almost exactly what you described in your article. It's funny how teaching a Sunday school class on the Sermon on the Mount could get me into so much trouble with my well-adjusted Protestant bretherin.

Anyway, my best to you. If I get a chance, I'll read through the whole thread and tackle some of the attackers. In the mean time, God bless.

Oh, and if you ever happen to be in the Atlanta area on a Shabbat and would like to see a Messianic service, drop me a line.

lol. I came to this realization very recently...just about 3 1/2 years ago. Being non-religious before it wasn't very difficult to accept this viewpoint. Imagine my surprise though when I realized that the vast majority of Christianity doesn't quite have the same viewpoint. I was surprised that something so clear to me was so alien to so many others.

Thanks for the invite. I'll keep it in mind if I ever get down that way.
