I do not wish you to become a christian, but to remain a jew with knowledge of the Torah in your heart and an understanding of all that the prophets have spoken.  As for me, married to a Jewish woman, I love not only her, but all of the sons and daughters of Jacob, for by them we did come to know the I Am.  We may see the world differently with respect to our relationships to each other and our belief as to the Messiah and the events that are looming close on the horizon as spoken by all the prophets and by Jacob himself to his sons as to the last days what would befall them.  I love you");

Yes I do make strong statements in favor of Israel--for several reasons.  And since you have asked I will give you unedited reasons but only because they are reasons that I believe in for myself--not to persuade others to any other way of thought.  I have been \"born again\" of the Spirit of God by the blood of the Jew Yahsua to pay for my sin.  I was convinced of that by reading the Tanahk or Old Testatment as some know it and the New Testament or Brit Hadasshah.  I have read them over and over again and only become more convinced that what is written in the two are truth.  I could not be part of Bnei Noach because I just cannot deny that Yahshua is real and that all of what He says is true--if I denied I just couldn\'t continue to live--I would be lying to myself.

AddReply(226608,"Love Must Include Respect","Yosef Hakohen","Jerusalem","08/20/07","It is not enough to love the Jewish people. One must also respect them and the mission given to them by the Compassionate One. And this mission requires that they maintain their separate identity and their full commitment to the Torah with its path of mitzvos - Divine mandates. This commitment also means that they must pray directly to the Compassionate One as all their prophets did, as David did, and not to or through any deified human being. It is therefore disrespectful to try to get them to adopt Christianity ot any other religion. Instead of Christians asking Jews to follow them, the Christians and others will one day follow the Jews, as the Prophet predicted in Zechariah 8:23. In that era, we, the Jewish people, will gain both the love and respect of all the peoples who will join us in serving the Compassionate One.");
