"This issue is not about non believing Jews with you. You just use it as an excuse to feed our hatred with regards to anything that is Jewish Including the Jewish State." How you distort truth and reality! My antagonism is directed only against all philosophies and religious systems that attempt to distort the truths contained in the New Testament accounts of Jesus and his Church. I love the modern Jewish people and desire nothing more than to see them escape the terror and myths of the Babylonian Talmud For two thousand years, the Babylonian Talmud has kept the modern Jewish people enslaved in a Christless Auschwitz of the soul. For two thousand years the modern Jewish people have been brutalized by the teachings of the Talmud. These teachings have led twenty centures of Jewish souls into a Christless eternity. Is it not love to help free the modern Jewish people from the enslavement of the mind and soul imposed by the teachings of the Talmud? Is it not love to tell the modern Jewish people that there is no salvation outside of Jesus Christ? On the other hand, is it not hate to encourage the modern Jewish people to continue in their false teachings of the Talmud? Is it not hate to refuse to warn the modern Jewish people that there is no salvation outside of Jesus Christ? It is you, Alan, who is the true hater because you refuse to expose the false teachings of modern Judaism that have led twenty centuries of Jewish people to a Christless eternity. It is you, Alan, who hates by pretending that modern Judaism offers a form of salvation without the need for Christ. There is no salvation outside of Jesus Christ. The Christian Church--the Body of Christ--offers light and life through the Lord Jesus Christ. Modern Judaism offers darkness and death through a Christless eternity. Emile

Alan, My first exposure to religion was in a Christian institution. I had always wondered what was 'wrong' with Jews (excuse this, I am confessing a phase of relative ignorance). At one point, I finally stopped listening to what I was 'told' and started asking questions. Paul, for example, was taught by a Rabbi. The rabbit has a prominent place in Egyptian heiroglyphics. They did so because the rabbit to them represented 'one whose eyes are always open'. One who always asks questions. I pondered the similarity between 'rabbit' and 'rabbi'. In the Bible, even Jesus is called rabbi. Many passages contain rabbi. Joh 3:2 The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him. If only we should forget the words, and focus upon what all our brother rabbis see, and have tried to share with us, but we see not in our obsession with words. God is with all of us, whether we call ourselves rabbi, christ, or what have you. Jesus was another rabbi teaching us how to 'always keep our eyes open, and tap the source of all wisdom'. It is a shame we must argue WHO is rabbi, when the Bible teaches us all to be a rabbi in his/her own right. I have taken to reading the works of Rabbi Aryeh Kaplan, and have learned much that I did not know, because my eyes were closed to the pictures he paints. Abraham wrote a book which has been interpreted as a way to create a small rabbit. If this means 'one within myself whose eyes are always open', I am all for it, regardless of what others may insist I name him. The name of the rabbit is written upon the white stone, and only we shall know the name. The name does not matter, only that we see. My hope is that one day we will all see the pictures, realize that we are all rabbis seeing the same picture, and find the world to be one big church of God and truth. Then we will welcome all holidays, be they Christian, Jewish, etc. as one more opportunity to celebrate life, and the same truths we all see when our eyes are open. Peace, Darrin
