- For someone who has watched this debate from inside and out for years, I
- only ask: Can someone explain to me what difference it makes? The point
- is clearly made that both Messianic Jew and Traditional Jew agree - the
- Messiah will come (again?). Why does it matter if it is the second coming
- or not? The key is to recognize the true Messiah when he comes. If he is
- the true Messiah, he will recognize those that have been faithful to Hashem.
-
- Do you think that he is going to care on which side of this debate we are?
- He will tell us that we are measured by our deeds to serve Hashem, not on
- whom can make the best argument for one side or the other.
-
- In arguing about the past, we are loosing sight on the true meaning of the
- future, and the true mission of the Messiah.

- With love,
- Marc
