This is tribalism plain and simple. Is this really something we should embrace. Wasn't Christianity more marketable because it broke down the tribalism and allowed for empires to embrace their faith.<br /><br />Is it "love" of the law itself, that causes the orthodox to embrace the law or "love of themselves and their own identity". I that the later makes more sense.Sabio Lantzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12963476276106907984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4036399641216785443.post-18308931427613792652009-12-04T13:34:08.334-05:002009-12-04T13:34:08.334-05:00Derek, sorry if I wasn't clear.

I'm talking about Gentile's responses to Jews - especially Messianic Jews as being "ultra-semitic" to the point of actually wanting to be Jewish. <br /><br />I'm no less guilty of this than anyone.M.joshuahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04099824164466641189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4036399641216785443.post-47281217061483835572009-12-03T22:03:56.801-05:002009-12-03T22:03:56.801-05:00Perhaps M.joshua has been around some immature Mes...Perhaps M.joshua has been around some immature Messianic Jews, but I for one appreciate your post. I do hope the New Perspective on Paul gives the next generation of scholars a healthier view of Judaism and even wakens many to the idea of Torah-faithful Jewish believers in Jesus.<br /><br />M.joshua, I'd recommend a book to you: Mark Kinzer, Postmissionary Messianic Judaism.<br /><br />Derek Lemanderek4messiah.wordpress.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02116000293798063018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4036399641216785443.post-53964564913137324662009-12-03T15:32:20.200-05:002009-12-03T15:32:20.200-05:00Thats a little funny.

My experience has been the opposite: making Messianic Jews and a Jewish identity something bigger than it is. <br /><br />Coming from a Messianic Jewish experience, I've found that the pendulum swings fiercely from a point of anti-semitism to a point of ultra-semitism.<br /><br />Yet, we're all one people in Christ.<br /><br />Nevertheless, that's not to neglect the huge important of looking at the Scriptures through Jewish eyes. When we think like big dumb Gentiles, we miss a ton of what God wants us to get. <br /><br />Let's have a healthy view on the subject!M.joshuahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04099824164466641189noreply@blogger.com
