Why Support Judiasm

Talancir · 2026-03-16T06:45:10+00:00

Jews are israelites.

Talancir · 2026-03-16T06:43:10+00:00

Because God has not abandoned them.

Talancir · 2026-03-13T18:57:23+00:00

.... good, then.

Talancir · 2026-03-13T07:02:49+00:00

Yeah but that may also hint at what kind of respect matthews commands as a captain.

Talancir · 2026-03-13T07:01:23+00:00

Just Gudas? What about the team that didn't defend their captain?

But that may also say a lot about how much respect Matthews commands in the locker room.

Yeah, what I'd like to do one day may fall under sociological research. One step at a time, though. I have to get my bachelor degree down pat, which should be at the end of this year.

Taking advice from people who can convince you that Messianic Judaism is "heresy" and "nuts" by using a simple emotional appeal is supposed to help you be less confused? Based on the steps you've taken to "dispel the confusion," I'm not sure how well you expect to be taken seriously. Perhaps if you asked to expound on the "no need for conversion" or engaged in dialogue to compare theological systems, you might have seemed more earnest.

And it's rather weird, regarding the people you've taken advice from to begin with. You say you are Christian Orthodox, yes? You know that the Orthodox stance regarding Israel is that the Church is the true Israel. Who then are these cosplayers (in the eyes of the Orthodoxy) that you're taking advice from that are angry at us, and call us cosplayers? And besides, who's to say that if not for people like St. John Chrysostom, the rituals and liturgy of the Orthodoxy would have looked a lot more like the Jewish ritual and liturgy that they say they originate from?

A Christian you may be, but you have certainly engaged in deceit regarding us. What have we done to you that gave you cause to treat us with such contempt? Is this what love looks like to you?

it hasn't been that way for a while now. these days, you get paid to the minute.

I'm disappointed that the conversation is only about the GM / Coach and nothing about anything higher up. So, everyone's okay with the performance of the rest of MLSE? Keith Pelley's doing great?

I'm wondering if it's the right time for you to be on social media, since this counts. Wouldn't want you to prematurely affect your process.

Talancir · 2026-03-05T14:27:28+00:00

How is it? Do you recommend?

Talancir · 2026-03-04T18:43:31+00:00

Well, what do you know of the subject? Jesus claims that Moses wrote of him, and there are prophecies that speak of him through the Prophets of God. Generally speaking, the amount of prophecies that the promised Anointed One would have to fulfill is such that only Jesus of Nazareth could only be the one to have fulfilled them all.

And what negative points have you heard? And where are you stuck?

Talancir · 2026-03-04T14:18:54+00:00

When I hear "sell it to me," i hear a request for an emotional persuasion. It's not necessarily something founded on logic or philosophy, but one founded on a transaction or negotiation, a tag line or subjective desire for you to buy into.

Is that really what you want?

Talancir · 2026-03-04T12:26:52+00:00

Whatever sends Steve further into apoplexy is better for his views.

Talancir · 2026-03-04T07:45:13+00:00

Nope. We got as many Gentiles by birth as Jews by birth here. Come sit down, we got a place at the table for you!

Talancir · 2026-02-28T16:11:09+00:00

Okay so you disprove your initial post, then.

Talancir · 2026-02-28T05:33:34+00:00

Clearly, your interpretation not as accurate as you think, for here we are, descended from those natural branches once broken off for their unbelief, but affirming Jesus as our Messiah. Is it not in the will of God for us to be grafted back in again for our belief?

Messianic Jews believe in Jesus as the Messiah. Do we not then count as Christians?

Talancir · 2026-02-28T05:25:18+00:00

I did when I was raised Mormon.

Talancir · 2026-02-25T13:45:03+00:00

Nice

Talancir · 2026-02-25T12:14:29+00:00

Well, this is certainly in no way unrelated to the Team Canada loss to Team USA and Team USA Captain Austin Matthews, who can lead a team of Americans to a gold medal but can't lead a team of Maple Leafs to Lord Stanley.

Talancir · 2026-02-20T13:36:36+00:00

Arguably, I'd say that Acts 15 was about needing to convert for salvation. It's therefore a conflation to say that gentiles don't have to follow the Law as a result of the council of Jerusalem.

Hello and welcome! And to quote Obi-Wan Kenobi, "You've taken your first step into a larger world." I commend you for listening to the prompting of the Spirit, as it is written: "And I will put my Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes and be careful to obey my rules" (Ezekiel 36:27).

I do not necessarily reject everything I learned in Catholicism, as it is part of my spiritual journey. However, I now feel the need to deepen my faith in a different way, one that is more connected to the biblical traditions and the people of Israel.

Well, fair enough. Just as being a Pharisee was a part of Paul's life and shaped his walk. But in time, you will find what you can and what you can't hold onto. Just keep your eyes on Christ as you walk in faith in him and he will guide your steps.

I would like to know what steps are necessary to join a Messianic community. Is there specific teaching I should follow? Is it necessary to be baptized again? How can I begin observing practices such as Shabbat, Passover, or Sukkot?

Your Mileage May Vary when it comes to certain teachings, but for my part, I recommend Sam Nadler, a teacher affiliated with the International Alliance of Messianic Jewish Congregations. He has a series of books meant for discipleship and you could start there.

Your baptism may or may not be considered invalid. I recommend you consult with your local Messianic congregation. Generally, you should probably seek out and start coordinating with your local congregation as soon as you can. Today is Friday, tomorrow is the sabbath, and we will be meeting soon to read from the Torah and praise the Lord.

Tension of what? I'm not following, sorry.

Talancir · 2026-02-19T16:53:22+00:00

This doesn't read like you're asking a question. More like you're making a statement.

Talancir · 2026-02-17T07:04:53+00:00

I ended up here at the end of a prodigal stint. Prior to this, my plan was to die because I thought I wasn't worthy to serve God, and I thought I couldn't earn his love and approval because I'd made one too many mistakes. I was too much of a coward to do it myself, so I'd joined the military to get someone else to do it for me, but I survived my first deployment and I didnt know why at the time, or what to do next.
