"I know this will insult your "bonehead" self, but you have the heart and soul of a good old Kansas farm boy"

Jane;

I really do not care what anyone thinks about myself that goes back to the pride issue. My people and roots are being Jewish I just was born that way. Allot of fancy words here but again pride only leads nowhere. I myself will refrain from calling or implying that someone is anything including a bonehead it serves no purpose. But I will defend a un loving theology that attacks my race and people and which has cause great misery for myself as well as believing and non believing Jews. Also it's not just Jews that are effected many other cultures are as well. Let's also get this straight and stop the confusion which many of the Man made religions reap. I am not a Christian I am a Jew that believes Yeshua (Jesus) is the Messiah, I also am not a Christian Jew, Messianic Jew, Jews for Jesus ect...... I am a Jew period I believe in both the old and new testament period. I really do not care if I am a Bonehead the only one that I care about what they think is the God, that I love all else means nothing. God will not reveal the truth to a self seeking person that is what Satan is for ones self. When I read allot of your post's I have a hard time interpreting there meaning and what you are trying to convey thats the reason for the Jaxi situation as well as some of the post's here I guess just call me dumb. I would rather see direct language than all the round about ways of saying things that also goes back to the twisting of Scripture and making it more complicated than it is. Your right Jane I am just a good ole boy and wish to remain such this world and the people in it are just to complicated for me to figure out, I will leave all that up to God, because compared to him we all are Boneheads:-)

Alan

Jane and all:
Now, how will we classify the following Jews? Are they a blessing
to us or not? Is the Old Covenant not a valuable resource?

"But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting." (Micah 5:2)
"Therefore, the Lord Himself shall give you a sign. Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel....For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder; and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The mighty God, the everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace." (Isaiah 7:14, 9:6)

These two Jews lived 700 years before the birth of Christ, yet their prophesies link the old and new covenants. The Word of God goes forth, and it does not come back void, but renews the earth. Some day, Jesus, Yeshua, will reign in Zion. "In that day, there shall be a fountain opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem for sin and for uncleanness. And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord of hosts, that I will cut off the names of the idols out of the land, and they shall no more be remembered: and also I will cause the [false] prophets and the unclean spirit to pass out of the land." (Zech. 13:6)

This praise song comes to mind:

There is a river, that flows from deep within,
There is a fountain, that cleanses the soul from sin,
Come to the water, there is a great supply,
There is a river, that never shall run dry.

It is time to set aside differences and cooperate with the Spirit of God that would bring peace to the people of the earth at this special time of year. God Bless,
Lee
