Russell. Your blog was featured as the Messianic Alert for today by google. I grew up in the main line Protestant Church, where like main-stream Judaism not recognizing Messianic Jews as Jewish but "legally apostate" to borrow your phrase, Protestant Christianity continues to ignore what has been learned by some concerning 1st century practice and culture surrounding Yeshua the Messiah. Both are at fault in my opinion. It took a few years, but I no longer consider myself a Christian per se but a Messianic believer. I dropped the label Christian, for the above cited awareness from within my side of the body of Messiah. Glad you are blogging, and hope you or your readers may come visit me at http://graftedinandonthejourneyb.ogspot.com when so moved. Thanks and Shalom!David C.
