Hi Eddy, I would like to thank you for your support. It is doubly appreciated because I know how difficult it is to stand for truth in this era of darkness. A few words in defense of Zeev. Unlike many others on this thread, I sincerely believe that Zeev is an honest skeptic and agnostic searching and probing for meaning in life. His background has been highly colored through his Jewish cultural formation. I believe his posts about the Talmud on Jesus reflects his honest perceptions of the subject and not some sneaky attempt to blaspheme or pervert the faith of some. I may be wrong, but that is the impression he has given me since the beginning. His posts are startling honest and antichristian and anti New Testament but that is his hones opinion. I much prefer a person like Zeev and the former Rabbi Meir Kahane than the sneaky type that pretends to know nothing about the Talmud or the antichristian nature of modern Judaism but constantly attack Christ and Christianity surreptiously. I am a pacifist and I firmly believe in the right of individuals to honestly share their beliefs and doctrine without being intimadted to compromise. This is what is needed if we are to learn from one another and maintain our integrity as we argue and debate our respective beliefs. A dynamic and heated discussion is preferable to a syrupy hypocritical one. We must maintain love for every individual no matter how contrary or repulsive we find his beliefs and philosophy. I also wonder at times if Zeev is just enjoying needling me with these blasphemous talmudic passages, but in the end I seem to always be willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. Again, thanks for your support and upholding the Gospel of Jesus. Your efforts do not go unnoticed by He who counts. In Christ Emile
