>>>Sekulow was on Hardball last night. Very informative segment.
>>>... Sekulow was very persuasive, and I think Chrissie Matthews may be on the side of letting TS live...

Dang, I wish I'd known... I gave up on Matthews when he
turned rabid anti-Bush.

I see Hardball is shown 5 times in a row Sunday starting
at 11AM eastern... Does anyone know if these are each of
the shows throughout the week repeated (Mon-Fri) ???

Don't know about Hardball repeats, but if there are 5 in a row like that, sounds like you might have a chance there!

I usually don't watch it at all, but just happened to have it on, so caught the name of the guest and left it on for that segment.

Just a clarification: There's no such thing as a Jewish Christian. Judaism and Christianity are two different faiths, altho I agree with Red that Christianity is the completion of Judaism, so there's a real bond between these two faiths.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the term for Jews who believe in Jesus Christ are called Messianic Jews (i.e. Jews who believe that Jesus Christ is the Messiah). But even that is somewhat misleading and we're back to the fact that Judaism and Christianity are two separate faiths, but with a foundational connection to each other. IMNSHO, I think there's some difficulty (?) for Jews to completely give up their heritage, hence the term Messianic "Jews."

Jews in the First Century (and I think those in this century!) who recognized that Jesus was the Messiah foretold by their prophets of old were called Christians!

churchill: I don't think Lone Voice meant any disrespect in his use of "Jew Christian." Both "Jew" and "Christian" are the proper names for persons of those faiths and putting them together in the context of LV's post was not inappropriate.

Lone Voice: When you hit the post reply button and you are in the screen where you type your post, delete the name of the poster that defaults in the To: window (if you don't want to reply to him/her) and type "all" -- without the quotes.

P.S. I don't think Muslims would feel very comfortable here on FR, altho everyone is welcome. Try posting this message: "Islam is a Religion of Peace" and see what happens! Hell, GW gets blasted here when he says that!!

Well, he may not have meant disrespect, but that's how it natually is interpreted. "Jew" is a noun. To use it as an adjective traditionally conveys disrespect, even a slur; the correct adjectival form is Jewish.

That's just it -- I don't think he meant it as an adjective. Maybe he should have reversed it -- Christian Jew....? Or put a -dash- in between?? Whatever. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. Sounds like he just has some polishing to do.
