Blasater . . . I know it's annoying and infuriating. But listen to me . . . nothing you say matters to these people. They "know" Yushqa is the messiah because their Protestant bible has a "new testament" in it, and that's all there is to it. If it's in the Protestant bible, it's the "word of G-d."

You and I can point out a zillion inanities, but so long as their bibles have a "new testament" which they accept implicitly "the bible" will always authorize chr*stianity to these people.

You won't agree with me, but I regard the struggling with the Torah that these people do to be a positive step. Unfortunately, only a miracle will take them all the way.

In Protestantism the bible is self-authorizing. If it's between those two covers and has the Thomas Nelson or Zondervan trademark, then it's "the word of G-d."

PS: Don't get me wrong, your 100% on target with the way language is twisted. They learned such things from their Catholic and Orthodox ancestors. ::Sigh::

Please have a happy and sweet new year.

The intelligent among them know the NT is gibberish, but don’t feel they have any alternative.

And there is a yetzer for disobedience to God, and God commands to go to the rabbis, therefore...

Acutally I agree with you on all counts. It is a positive thing. Some of these Messianic folk arent even considered xtian by their orthodox counterparts. So, in the age of the internet where you can find the truth, some will. It is just the out and out dissembling, dupicitous stuff that drives me nuts. I mean come on...yoshki is now a Torah scroll??? Sheesh.

May you and your family have a sweet and prosperous new year...!ייתכן הקדשה וחתם לשנה טובה
