			For whatever it's worth, that guy is just a regular Orthodox Jew, not a Messianic Jew. Messianic Jews are Christians. This guy doesn't think Jesus was the Messiah, just a lovely rabbi. 
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	It's true that Israel does depend a great deal on support from evangelicals who think the temple has to rebuilt for Jesus to come back. They still think the Jews are going to go to Hell, though, so their "support" for Israel is utterly cynical, self-serving and condescending, but then again, the Israelis are happy to let them think whatever they want as long as the dollars keep pouring in. It's probably better business for Israel not to have a Temple. There's also a thriving tourist industry based on fleecing Christians by showing them totally made up sites for made up events.  |

			If a woman tells you that you are a great lover after handing her $400 the complement probably says little about your skills at lovemaking

			There's ahellovalotta stuff that simply doesn't belong on BC&H here. It's more something for one of those interminable mudslinging matches on a political forum. Can you all just cut the crap, please?

			Have the opinions of Yeshua himself really changed, or just the opinions about how to talk about him in front of the Goyim?
