- Seeing the barrage of "Christian issues" on SCJ, I can understand your
- transmission of negative information to alt.messianic. You just want your
- newsgroup to go back to what it was intended for. That's not to much to
- ask. But you should want the same for us as well.
-
- As one of the SCJ posters once said to me, your sincerity will be evident
- by your actions of no longer posting this type of articles.

- OH this is cute! A new Messianic Jewish rabbi on AM doing some preaching?
-
- Let me first show this to you:
-
- Matthew 5:38 "You have heard that it was said, 'Eye for eye, and
- tooth for tooth.'
-
- Matthew 5:39 But I tell you, Do not resist an evil person. If
- someone strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other
- also.
-
- If you, Len, want us to acknowledge you as an evil person, I guess we can
- turn to you our other cheek. But that turning of cheek is more of an
- attitude than the action of offering you the opportunity to slap me around
- some more. I will do as Yeshua commands;
-
- Luke 6:27-28 "But I tell you who hear me: Love your enemies, do good
- to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who
- mistreat you.
-
- Also, if we allow you to post your "Type" of articles, then will you allow
- us to post our "type (adds for Jews For Jesus, addresses/phone # of the
- many Messianic Congregations...)" of articles on S.C.J.?
-
- Since I believe that I should do to to others as I would have them do to me,
- I have remained off the S.C.J. newsgroup. I can't speak for the others.
-
- So what do you think folks? Should we allow our news group to be used
- for the purpose of anti-missionaries?
-
- --- ---> My vote is [X]-NOT.

-
- > Might be interesting.
-
- To those with an interest in that sort of thing. In the spirit of Chanukah,
- it would be like WATCHING you sacrificing a pig on the altar of the
- Most High.
