Default digression on Messianic Judaism split from Papias Smear

Chief Rabbi of Efrat Shlomo Riskin praises Rabbi Yeshua

http://roshpinaproject.com/2009/12/2...-rabbi-yeshua/

"Riskin says that he was ‘truly fascinated’ by Jesus, and considers him a ‘model rabbi’, who lived the life of a Jewish rabbi in Israe"

This is a Messianic Jewish website featuring a modern rabbi trying to appropriate a Christian figure (I assume - I'm not going to watch the video).

What does it have to do with this thread? Shall I split it off?

No. You cannot morally do that at all.

The rabbi is an orthodox rabbi, but, naturally, the messianic Jews are publicising it

It has to do with a general response to the long rambling OP, which has been posted before.

Israel needs the money of desperate white people. Its a growth industry. The state of Israel could not exist without evangelicals. Period. It is the greatest of historical ironies that Jesus is now quite literally the savior of the Jewish nation.

Israel is country of free and strong people, some better than others, but always free and strong.


Israel’s TV mocks the crucifixion

White people? What does that have to do with this issue???

Though I will concede that Israel can use the money -- and the political support.

It seems to me more like a sort of ecumenism that some Jews indulge in -- saying how great Jesus Christ had been.
