I guess we meant well like the Jewish men, but I don't believe God was even the slightest involved in either activity.

Apology accepted.

COLOR="Navy"]Oops, wrong thread for this one. But in short, our friend Dancing, IF she is pushing "Jesus + Law" I would personally, strongly disagree with this kind of thinking. I personally don't agree with much of the whole "Messianic Judaism" movement. The reasons for me are much more theological than cultural, if you know what I mean. Again, probably a subject for a different thread. I would say that she is still, for the most part, if she colors between the lines, within the general theme of this forum. And that's all I gotta say about that. [/COLOR]

My impression is that people when they leave the local church go in all kinds of different directions. Some leave the Christian faith altogether. Some abandon all religion for secular life. Some go to other religions. Some take up another brand of Christianity.
For those of us who claim the Christian faith, the commonality is our allegiance with-- our heart connection to Jesus not some other thing or person be it the Torah, our political opinions or whatever.
As to Awareness/Harold, I regularly disagree with him on all kinds of issues and tell him so. If he and I come down on the same side of some issue it is because we actually agree. I don't participate in hidden alliances or agendas, cliques or coalitions with Harold or anyone else here.
