I harbor absoloutly no negative feelings twoards anyone, no matter what race, religion or creed anyone is....
As far as being offended, I am not offended and I hear some of the most vile things from other’s about GOD, Christians, Jews from the most angry atheists I converse with on another forum...I have been pre-warned about all this hate from my belief in Christ...
John 15:18-21
“If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you. If you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. Remember the word that I said to you... If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you... because they do not know Him who sent Me.”
My point was that Israeli or Messianic Jews have a right to
be Jews in Israel and be respected by the Orthodox Rabbi’s
because they are only practicing a belief that was permitted by the very first *Christians* (Jews) who believed in Jesus Christ...Jesus Christ was a Jew , he never practiced another religion or endorsed a Pagan belief to the Jews and even the Pharisees never said he was an *Apostate Jew* Jesus taught the temple priests about GOD before he began his final ministry...
Jesus was a well versed Torah Observant Jew that never defiled the word of the Almighty.

Ethnicity is decided by your lineage and guided by Israel’s Rabbinical Council.
Religion is determined by your beliefs, practice, denomination. Unlike Jesus, his followers are not Torah observant Jews, they are Christians. End of story.
