Dear Brightstar; To call a Messianic Jew a Christian is nothing but redundant. Why do you refuse to call yourself Messianic. This type of me first crap is what causes all the misunderstanding in the first place. Messiah is the Jewish Term that was later translated into Greek as Christ. His name and title will be translated by and into every tribe, tongue and nationality. I never realized your understanding was so simplistic. A rose by any other name is still a rose. A Christian is still a believer in Messiah. I won't hold it against you if you choose to use the Greek. I pray you will grant me the same privilege in reverse. In Yeshua's love for you - DLL

Also I know two jews that post on this thread that refuse to call them selves Christian. They want to be called Messianic Jews. What do you think about that? I don't think it's very important. I think why should anyone care about a semantic issue unless they are looking for an excuse to find fault? The word Christian wasn't adopted for some time after the church got started. I suspect they are seeking to hold on to their Jewish identity while still adopting a religion that has traditionally been hostile to their people. Where do you stand spiritually? Are you a Jew defending your religion Nope. or a Christian defending a Jewish religion? Am I Christian? - sometimes yes, sometimes no. For your purposes, the answer is NO. Course this is probably a bad time to ask me. After I reflect a little, I'll probably decide I am and you're not! Defending a Jewish religion. Nah, it just gets under my skin when I see people picked on. I've responded when the target was Jews, Indians, Americans, blacks, or just weird-looking kids back when I was in school, etc. It doesn't matter. It's all just the same damn thing. Bruce

>>They want to be called Messianic Jews. What do you think about that? << What difference does it make if they accept that Yeshua is Lord of Lords? One reason they call themselves Messianic Jews instead of Christians is that it makes it easier for them to witness to mainstream (non-Messianic) Jews. FWIW Andy
