I'd just like to say that there are orthodox, historically savvy Christians who don't have anything to do with that stuff.<BR/><BR/>As a rabbi once pointed out to me, biblical Israel and Israelite religion ceased to exist in AD 70. The two offshoots are Christianity and Judaism.Kylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14641068117855718120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6906005.post-1128372718105812802005-10-03T16:51:00.000-04:002005-10-03T16:51:00.000-04:00Yeah, but they're still a Jew.Yeah, but they're still a Jew.Garretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01821420867311588899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6906005.post-1128301153042687072005-10-02T20:59:00.000-04:002005-10-02T20:59:00.000-04:00Any Jew that accepts you know who as you know what...Any Jew that accepts you know who as you know what is immediately breaking Judaic law and has disavowed their Judaism.Danielle Solzmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10273354313459326114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6906005.post-1128286457205192462005-10-02T16:54:00.000-04:002005-10-02T16:54:00.000-04:00Matt - that's because you're against the idea of b...Matt - that's because you're against the idea of being ethnically or culturally Jewish. Now, I dislike Jews for Jesus too, but I'll grant them some validity to the idea that they are still genetically and possibly even culturally Jewish. You cannot deny that due to a combination of Jewish culture and forced segregration throughout history, the Jews are a distinct ethnicity. You can maintain an ethnicity while switching religions. That being said, I disagree with the teachings of Jews for Jesus and believe that their group's name is purposely misleading. I guess it just sounded better than "Bagel-Eating Christians."Pepperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02435195506355101787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6906005.post-1128045563281789792005-09-29T21:59:00.000-04:002005-09-29T21:59:00.000-04:00I'm not a huge fan of Jews for Jesus either, altho...I'm not a huge fan of Jews for Jesus either, although I doubt CNN will be reporting on that anytime soon.Matzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16995731428095909027noreply@blogger.com
