After reviewing the comments on this thread, I highly respect you and your commitment to the G_d of Abraham Isaac and Jacob, and wish you to know that as a Gentile Christian, understand the wrongs that Christians have visited on your heritage over the previous centuries. I also understand that G_d does not change, and will fulfill the promises of His Everlasting Covenant to His chosen people, Amiyim, the apple of His eye.....that said, I expect that you and I are both waiting for Messiah, the one in Zechariah 12 and 14.....the difference being that I think I know His name! If I am wrong, I will go with whoever it is, and if you are wrong, you will go with me!
Thanks for your kind words and thoughts. I think that we can both agree that G-d is very understanding and forgiving, and that if we (or anyone else, for that matter) lives a basically decent and moral life (and our moralities are necessarily very similar), then we will be forgiven our mistakes. We may differ as to the particulars of that, but that it will occur is, IMHO, beyond a doubt.
