We use the worldly term Messianic, because it simplifies things in a simple world. Traditional ways are what you need to understand and this was our basis. Did Messianic Judaism hurt Eugene by leaving, yes it is because as a Jew we ought never loose our identifier, our traditions.....Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00643531338650251170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13390460.post-19392660904008017062009-11-16T23:24:48.463-08:002009-11-16T23:24:48.463-08:00> I agree with you about how churches

Neither what I said, nor something I'd agree with.<br /><br />Regarding your phrase "tend to" I'll only say that I've known many more chuches than Messianic Jewish synagogues, but I know more of the latter who take listening to God seriously and do so extensively.<br /><br />Regarding my own phrase "hear His answer more accurately" I'll elaborate for clarity. In my experience, churches mainly ask God simple questions such as "should we change this?" or "which of these should we do?". These churches can clearly hear God's answers. Yet I won't say the Messianic Jewish synagogues are less practiced or experienced at hearing from God just because they muddle God's complicated answer when asking complex questions such as "how do we put together a seder, from the gazillion Pesach traditions and new inspiration, to create an evening that is worshipful to us, welcoming to a non-religious Jewish visitor, and edifying to a visitor from the Gentile church?"davidvshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00041923215861465835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13390460.post-28266747047442551142009-11-16T22:17:15.860-08:002009-11-16T22:17:15.860-08:00Thanks for the insight.

How can we have the best of both without having to go to more than one congregation? Or is it a good thing to go to more than one congregation?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03854820275336652791noreply@blogger.com
