American Jewish leaders on Friday denounced a Vatican official's likening of anti-Catholicism during the church's escalating abuse crisis to "collective violence" against Jews, but predicted it would not deal a severe blow to the two faiths' often-strained relationship. "What a sad irony this would be on Good Friday, where so much of the anti-Semitism was brought about by the church against Jews," said Abraham Foxman, national director of the Anti-Defamation League. "Anti-Semitism was pogroms, inquisitions, expulsions that led to death ... What a grotesque comparison." During a Good Friday sermon, Pope Benedict XVI's personal preacher compared accusations against the pope and the Catholic church in the abuse scandal to "collective violence" suffered by the Jews. The priest, the Rev. Raniero Cantalamessa, quoted a letter from a Jewish friend who wrote that the accusations reminded him of the "more shameful aspects of anti-Semitism."

You’ve stated that his (?) beliefs are Gnostic. I have yet to see any indication of that, just a fairly zealous convert to Messianic Judaism. I realize that this is a controversial belief, and not just among Jews. But, I’ve seen no indication of any form of Gnosis.
So, you’re engaging in mind reading, unless you can point me to a specific set of replies that support your contention regarding the beliefs of another.
The charge if Gnostic heresy is valid after a complete review of the posting history. Advocating that only through the special knowledge possessed by certain adherants enabled Salvation and all others, regardless of faith or deed were excluded meets the text book definition. But of course, I only have his posts, not his thoughts to assess. However, I do find it ironic that you are attempting to read my mind.
I understand the meaning of the accusation, I just have seen no evidence provided to back up your accusation, Natural Law.
Show me how the poster in question has advocated Gnosticism. If you can, then you are not mind reading. If you can’t, then you are.
It’s really fairly simple and straightforward, no mind reading on my part necessary.
ADL is as much a representative of the Jewish faith as Call to Action is to the Catholic faith.
people arent buying this crap anymore....
What do you think the myriad of references to an "illuminated study" means?
Point me to them, and let’s ask the poster in question, shall we?
I have been discussing the Holy Scriptures you are unable to exegete. I have been discussing the writings promulgated from the council of Nicea. You are however correct in that the Pagan practice of celibacy has exploded Anyone who thinks I am attacking anyone is

in serious charges of child abuse to the highest levels of power in the Roman "church"
Yah'shua spent two days in Samaria before returning to Galil. If you were familiar with Paul's writings to the Roman
shalom b'SHEM Yah'shua HaMashiach
believers you would realize that His Chosen People have been blinded
for two "days" to permit the gentiles to be grafted in to His Ekklesia.
If you are sensitive to Yah'shua's metaphors.
Jesus in English from Iesous in the Koine Greek from Yah'shua in Hebrew; They all mean YHvH is my salvation Which is why if you call on His Name, you will be saved.
Yes you are correct in that Yah'shua is our Korban Pesach

Rom 10:13 for "WHOEVER WILL CALL ON THE NAME OF YHvH WILL BE SAVED."
No you have been offering distortions and falsehoods written about the Council of Nicea. For years I have witnessed ever modern evil falsely blamed upon the Council of Nicea and the Catholic Church. I have witnessed every demonstrably false point of history, theology and language associated with the Council of Nicea and the Catholic Church. Clever phrasing, wrongly citing scripture, and ending accusations with a question mark does not diminish their qualifications as an attack.
Aren't you really angry that the Council of Nicea successfully suppressed the heresy of Gnosticism and preempted your presumed spiritual supremacy?
Geesh...speak ENGLISH.
They exist in cyberspace for all to see.
Feverishly scouring the Constitution for the right to not be offended...can’t find it.
So much hate for Christ and His Church.

Nor does stepping on a cockroach, but it's still is quite satisfying.
Starting at verse 1 through 54. Especially verses 40 through 43. I was referring to John 4.

Yah'shua did not charter a man made corporation. Yah'shua's Ekklesia began in Deuteronomy 4:10 Was the "church" started at the YHvH commanded or Did the "church" exist earlier ? Using the LXX as a guide we see that the Ekklesia you seem very confused.
A study of the word "church", in the Koine Greek : Ekklesia.
