Subject:Depressed/studying Messianic Judaism
Question: I am very depressed a lot. I am not Jewish. I am involved in messianic Judaism.
Answer: Hi, first off, you need to get far away from messianic Judaism. It is full of more evil then any other religion on the planet. Its only goal is to trick Jews into believing in Christianity without themselves even knowing. They work a person's mind and pretend to have rabbi's and keep the mitzvos. What you don't know is that they spend time in orthodox circles just to learn how to act the part of a real Jew. Most are not even really Jewish and lyers. First step, get away from every one of these people Second step, find a chabad Rabbi to speak with about conversion or the 7 laws of noah Third step, finally finding real happiness

Subject:Marry Christan or Messianic
Question: Wouldn't it be better to marry a "Messianic" "Jew" than a Christan?
Answer: Which is the best way to poison oneself? Hmmm. Well most messianics are not even Jewish so they are really christains so it wouldn't make a difference with most. As far as the Jewish messianics that are truly born Jewish. I would have to say that it would depend on individual cases. It is rare that someone can help another Jew get out of messianic Judaism as it is a cult and people drawn to cults if you get them out, just join another cult. So, the chances of marrying someone and fixing them in this case is little.

Subject:Isaiah 53, messianic belief
Question: I am sefardic. I've been a follower of Yeshua longer than you have been on this earth - no offense. You say I'm in deep? Yes....I am. I love HaShem and His Son Yeshua the Moshiach. The Moshiach of Isaiah 53. The one that the sages say is Israel.
Answer: what about sefardi tradition, your ancestors, do you realized you have turned away from the heritage of your father, grandfather and his father. How about this, if you are ever in Israel, come to my house for just one meal and come with me to the Arizal to sing one song and you will know you where the truth is. Worse then your being in this is how many others you convince to join in, that is the point of the movement anyways, to convert Jews to crisitainity. So, please start making a list of all those you hurt so one day you can go back and get them out. Do you know how wonderful it is that you are sefardi, do you have any idea how beautiful sefardim souls are? When you are in Israel, how about I introduce you to a sefardi man who is a decendent of the Chidah, would then messinic judaism mean anything to you thereafter, I am sorry, you haven't been around londer then me in the sense that I mean. You owe it to your neshama to read and listen to every anti- messianic literature out there, to reflect and rethink. If your movement is still right after that, you would at least have knowledge of the enemy, JEWISH SAGES.

Subject:Don't Believe
Question: I am only really Jewish by birth - my interest in religion is merely academic. Thanks anyway,
Answer: Hi, It is not a matter of interest, every body is accompanied by a soul. Yours is a Jewish soul which means that even if you were to deny a connection to it, in truth, it still yearns for G-D. The more you run, the more you will end up running towards Him. Mary, you are a princess and however religion is for you now, I am grateful to be your friend from Israel. moshe
