Evolutionist: All scientists believe in evolution.
Creationist: What about Michael Behe?
Evolutionist: He's not a scientist.
Creationist: Why do you say that?
Evolutionist: Because he doesn't believe in evolution. All true scientists believe in evolution.
No true scientist would ever deny evolution.
Orthodox Jew: All Jews deny that Jesus is the messiah.
Messianic Jew: Wait a minute. I'm a Jew, and I think Jesus is the messiah.
Orthodox Jew: You're not a Jew.
Messianic Jew: Why do you say that?
Orthodox Jew: Because you think Jesus is the messiah. That makes you a Christian, not a Jew.
Messianic Jew: I am a Christian, but I'm also a Jew. "Christianity" is a subcategory within Judaism.
Orthodox Jew: Now who do you think is in a better position to say what a Jew is? A Christian or a Jew? As a Christian, you have no right to say what constitute a Jew. Only Jews have that right.
Messianic Jew: But I am a Jew, which gives me the right to say what constitutes a Jew.
Orthodox Jew: No, you're not. You're a Christian. Christians are not Jews.
Round and round they go.
The definition of who is a Jew is found in Torah – including the oral Torah. Both of which the first century Ribi Yehoshua (ha-Mashiakh; the Messiah) followed (proofs on the below website).
ReplyDeleteI recommend you and the reader of this post to do an extensive research of NT and Pauls doctrines (and learn what the first followers of Ribi Yehoshua – the Netzarim - said about Paul and NT; see the below website) to find about its origin.
You will find a wealth of invaluable documented information ignored in Christian and circles at: www.netzarim.co.il
