The bottom line regarding today's orthodox religious Jews is that they have the same Christ rejecting spirit and mindset of the Pharasees (and Sadducees if you will) of the 1st century .

So much is wrong with what you posted, not the least of which is the thinly veiled anti-Semitism.

There are many Orthodox Jew in Israel that secretly believe that Jesus is Messiah so your comment is slanderous to them, as well as to Religious Jews everywhere - if you want to understand why do a little research on how the Nazis used Martin Luther's work "Against the Jews" as justification for murdering Jews ("Jews rejected Jesus! Let's kill them!").

As for Pharisees, you need to take it up with Paul, the Pharisee:

"My manner of life from my youth, spent from the beginning among my own nation and in Jerusalem, is known by all the Jews. They have known for a long time, if they are willing to testify, that according to the strictest party of our religion I have lived as a Pharisee..." Acts 26:4-5

I won't pander to your political correctness. I spoke the truth. You accusing me of thinly veiled anti-Semitism is something the anti-Defamation League or Uncle Leo would say - but it's a damned lie!

As I mentioned in my post, Nicodemus was a Pharasee who was a believer. I don't need you to tell me that there is a diffeence between anti-Christ Orthodox Jews and Messianic Jews!

No, I don't! Paul is my favorite preacher/teacher rabbi if you will. Yes, I know he was raised a Pharasee. He also understood that their is no salvation in the Law or Moses - there is no salvation in the practice of the Pharasees - there is no salvation in the practice of the Sadducees. Anti not only means "against" it also means "in place of". There is no salvation, justification, holiness, redemption - in Orthodox Judaism or any other religion.

The Pharasees and Sadducees hated Jesus because He told them the truth. If I'm hated for speaking the truth - then like Jesus, Paul and others who were hated by anti-Christ Pharasees and Sadducees (anti-Christ Orthodox Jews) - I'm in good company!
