Translational Inconsistencies

Sheep wrecked,

Sorry about the delay. Unfortunately I will have to disagree. I haven't spent a great deal of time in Messianic land. To tell the truth I didn't even spend alot of time in christian land. It shames me to say this but here is my story. I was raised in a family that never went to church. My father was a coal miner and mom was a stay at home mom. I was raised much as one would have been raised in the 30's or 40's. Mom was strict and used any opportunity to use the "board of education" Dad was a hard worker and in man's definition "a good man". My parents split up when I was a senior in high school. My mom, sister, and I started going to church. I answered the proverbial altar call and got "saved". A few months later I went into the military and God was on the back burner. God continued on the back burner while I married someone I shouldn't have married. Hence, we are no longer together. I live with the pain of having fathered a daughter under those circumstances. God stayed on the back burner as I continued on my merry way. I met another woman who had twin boys and eventually we had a son together. We are married today but alas she is not interested in God. Shortly after we started dating I started working at a christian radio station as a part-time announcer. God was off the back burner, but not the entire focus either. I continued on that path until one time I did hear Michael Rood talking about the feasts and Sabbath on a show that used to air on the station "The Prophecy Club" It did peak my curiosity and I began to wonder about it. I bought a Vine's expository dictionary of old and new testament words and when I saw what it said about the sabbath it peaked my curiousity even more. So I used the internet to research the christian holidays and other things and in my own mind became convinced that something was amiss. I then heard Mark Blitz talking about the feasts and their prophetic implications and that peaked my curiosity even more. Since then I have tried to do as much research on my own. Have I listened to Michael Rood? Some. Do I agree with everything he says? No. Have I listened to Stan Johnson? Some. Do I agree with everything he says? No. Have I listened to Billy Graham, J. Vernon Mcgee, David Jeremiah, Chuck Smith and the list could go on. Yes I actually listened to them alot more as I worked at the station. Do I agree with everything they say? No. At this point in time I am asking God (I prefer not to use that version) to teach me and show me what I need to know. I do know that I believe that (Jesus) ( I prefer this one even less) came to die on the cross as the final sacrifice for my and all sin. I am currently searching to see how to continue on his path. So as you can see all I have to show for when I stand in front of the Almighty on that final day is dung. I pray and believe that he remembers my sin no more. I apologize if this is not the appropriate place for this. But as we all know, the almighty knows and sees all. Nothing can be hidden. I felt it necessary to share. Even though I am ashamed.

Hi Carl

It is kinda obvious from your posting that you have spent a great deal of time in the Messianic land. Your comments, observations, and beliefs are pretty much lined up with that system. "Messy" is a nic name which is quite appropriate, in my opinion. Having been a full blown Messianic at one time, using "messy" is just a handle that I adopted. I am sorry that it offends you, but I really mean no harm by it

The Messianics do not believe that Christians are Messianic at all, due to a perceived rejection of Torah, so messys would never label Christians as "mis-guided Messianics". I am wondering why you think that Christians are any more misguided than Messianics? :what:

Many messys truly believe that Christians are not the bride of Christ :tears: Michael Rood promotes it quite openly
