(Suddenly we like Jewish Christians? LOL!....why didn't you just say Edersheim, or a convert to Christianity. What's the reason for the JEWISH Christian being so important, there, my friend?)

I love all Christians. I don't distinguish based on race or ethnicity.

I also happen to appreciate anyone who is orthodox in their theology. The fact that Edershiem was well-studied in the biblical imagery is important. Like the apostle Paul, God obviously used his Jewish background to prepare him for the work of advancing Messiah Jesus's kingdom. He was not into faddish theologies like so many today.

I have never said anything differently. I don't place Edersheim on a pedestal because he was a Jew, only because he happens to be correct in his analysis on the Scriptures.

The difference between me and you (and others who hold to a race-based eschatology) is that I don't make distinctions based on arbitrary distinctions like race. A man can be right whether Jew or Greek.
