Hi Sheitl,

That is exactly what has been happening here. Refuting HR/Messianic teachings both factually and Scripturally, is viewed as anti-semitism. I have been called an anti-semite by those promoting it, since I first researched it and wrote about it in 1998/99. Jacob Prasch, mentioned in this thread, said back then that I was the spawn of satan and from the pit of hell and on one occasion told me to go back to my sea of slime. And he claims to be a messianic pastor and has a fairly large following.

The facts don't matter, because, while in their full acceptance of it, they cannot receive anything that contradicts what they want to believe and embrace. I have heard from so many family members of those caught up in HR, that their loved ones will have nothing to do with them anymore or very little, and they are hostile to any that would try and change their minds. And I am speaking of those from Christian backgrounds who may have been raised at least with some Christian beliefs, but have rejected that as all pagan, etc. Some have noted the absolute hatred of and towards Christians.

They take anyone trying to assess what they believe that isn't cudos and agreement, as an attack, regardless how it is presented or why. That's why the standard has become 'you're anti-semitic' or, it's lashon hara to anaylse the leadership and what they are about. Facts become gossip, documentation from their own writings etc, becomes lies, manufactured attacks etc. It's very sad because in the same breath, they want others to join them, and they feel they are so much more spiritual and have been saved from babylon aka Christianity.
