Yes, for the most part.

Jews primarily practice Judasim.
A few Jews are Messaniac Jews and practice Christianity and Keep also their Jewish Holy Days.
And Christians practice Christianity.
No. Same Heavenly God.
Correct.

There is a very big spectrum of messianic Jews. One label does not fit all. Some just call themselves Jewish Christians. But none practice Judaism.

I simply gave a broad answer., regarding Christians and Jews worshiping the Same God...
Individuals are individuals be they Jewish or Christian.

The Jew does not know Jesus, so they do not know the Father, one can not come to the Father but through his only Son.
If a Jew knows Jesus is the Christ then he is not a Jew, he is then a Christian. other than that he must be lying.

So you see that the Jew, does not know God they are lost and If anyone thinks differently they are of Satan.
Anyone who rejects Jesus Christ is of Satan. they are of this world. how can they perceive what they do not know.

The Christian God (the Father) is the same one that Israel served, but they did not know Him, now they followed the Law but we know why God sent such for and Holy Moses said of the Christ to come, now a true Israel will believe that just like Nathaniel did.
Fact is that Jesus was around from the beginning and will be to the end. he does never disappear ever, it's only people did or do not know him.
Not to mention that every true Israel would know Jesus (Salvation), because they are the servants of God.

The Jews reject Salvation, they go mental ranting against such, saying that you must not go down that track, because if the crowd did or do take heed to such they used political correctness doctrines to threaten punishment, because they will end up loosing them, because it's a Holy Spiritual thing and they reject the Holy Spirit, because the Jews are a mans works doctrine.
The Communist use the same tactics with political correct doctrine to put fear into all so as to muddy the waters just as does Socialism doctrines work against the Holy Spirit because such works are mans works, not Gods.
All people who are under Socialism are ruled by Satan, they are only doing mans works and have fallen back on the Law, they have not Grace nor Salvation.
You will never see a Socialist preaching Jesus Christ, if he makes out such he is of Satan.

The Jew does not know Jesus,

Some Do, Most Do not Know Jesus, they Know OF Him.

so they do not know the Father,

Moses was the FIRST to recognize God as the Father.

Not the Father of Jesus, as He is called today.
Not the Father of Gods Word, as He is called today.

But rather it was Moses who FIRST recognized, GOD was the Father OF ALL created men.

OT men, DID not KNOW of Gods Word IN THE FLESH.

However many OT men, absolutely DID Believe IN Gods WORD....and the same...
Became Saints.

one can not come to the Father but through his only Son.

An OT man DID NOT KNOW of the Son, the Word of God IN THE FLESH. It was KEPT SECRET FROM THEM.

THEY ARE INCLUDED, according to the WAY, God provided for THEM to BE INCLUDED.

If a Jew knows Jesus is the Christ then he is not a Jew,

A JEW is A Jew, is A JEW. They were SET APART, in TRIBES. To Be, the ELECT of God.

It is to say....THEY were "CHOSEN".
But then....Be a man Jew or Gentile...
"Chosen" or "Called" BY GOD....
Has NONE EFFECT...."IF" the chosen and called....REJECT Gods choosing and calling.

Men are Individuals...Men Absolutely CAN reject Gods "choosing" and "calling".

God CHOSE the Jews...
Now the INDIVIDUAL Jews must decide...
Follow after God...according to their OT LAWS.....or
(Once they HAVE HEARD of the Son...)
Follow after God...AND the Son.

Some Jews...continue following after God.
....He will be included, during mid-trib,
....After being subject to
....The Wrath of the Lamb (SEALS)
....Ministered to, Accepts Jesus.
Some Jews...have rejected God.
....same as any Gentile, who rejects God.
....He will be excluded, subject to
....Wrath of the Lamb (SEALS]
....Woes (TRUMPTETS)
....Wrath of God (VIALS)
Some Jews...Follow after God & the Son.
....He will be included in Christ's Church
....Raptured pryor to the trib.

he is then a Christian. other than that he must be lying.

Hogwash. What men CALL themselves, IS NOT WHAT decides IF they ARE or ARE NOT reconcilled UNTO God.

So you see that the Jew, does not know God they are lost and If anyone thinks differently they are of Satan.
Anyone who rejects Jesus Christ is of Satan. they are of this world. how can they perceive what they do not know.

God has A WAY, AN ORDER, for EVERY SINGLE man to "COME" to TRUST and BELIEVE IN God and IN Gods WORD.

Why you worry about the Jews, is of none effect. God Knows HOW and WHEN WHO will and WHO will not ACCECT HIM.....and WHEN.

The Christian God (the Father) is the same one that Israel served, but they did not know Him,

Are you psychic?

now they followed the Law

They did? Why? Why did they follow after the words of the LAW established by God...whom you say they DID NOT KNOW?

but we know why God sent such for and Holy Moses said of the Christ to come, now a true Israel will believe that just like Nathaniel did.


Fact is that Jesus was around from the beginning and will be to the end. he does never disappear ever, it's only people did or do not know him.

I am aware of the FACTS.

The Jews reject Salvation, [/QUOT]

The Jews? What, Every Jews thinks alike?
And you a Gentile? Every Gentile thinks alike?

I am aware of the FACTS.
The OT Israel did know of God but they did not know God as you say.

OT Israel was to come to Jesus Christ, If you believe Holy Moses that's a fact end of story, anything other than that is not of God at all. no one could be so stupid ! to say otherwise, Jesus gave himself for all and he is the only one who ever was or ever will be, end of story. to think anything otherwise is just stupid and Satanic. you are with Jesus or not end of story.
All this so called race idolising is just stupid I can't believe people nowadays are just so stupid to follow such nonsense. what race ! they were never a race but a Religious body of people and the Holy Spirit trumps everything that ever was OT and all. if anything was not the will of the Holy Spirit it was just always nonsense. you can never look at the OT without understanding the power of the Holy Spirit, what the Jews did that was not of such was worthless. just as it is today as all such will be burnt up. nothing trumps the Holy Spirit ever and claiming a so called race idol worship is just Satanic. look at the History of the Jews all and each on was a guide of light were they ? no most were nothing, only the few who were Prophets were of God ! so stop the idol worship of bastards who reject Jesus Christ, such is totally Satanic.

If you read the OT you will find out that they did not know God, if one mentioned God back in the day you got a backhander directly, they followed the Law because that was the Law they had to obey, Jews are Politically Correct you know, they do not upset the apple cart or they know that they will be dealt with by the leadership.

If one wants to idolise stupid so called Jews and be under the Law you will be sorry, they are of Satan and will only lead one into Hellfire.

Then divert, divert, divert..from your own accountability....Nothing new with you.

That's because there's nothing "new" about Biblical truth . . .

Quote me SPECIFIC as I say...what you are referring to.

What ! the OT is about the people who knew of God but the NT is of them who know God, fact is that no one comes to the Father but by his only begotten Son, so you should understand that fact.
The Jews were Lost until Jesus Christ came, as are all who do not know who Jesus Christ truly is, so anyone who rejects Jesus Christ does not know God, that's the fact of the mater.
So the one claiming to be a Jew or Islam, is just a lost Fool playing a mans works dribble. they do not have the Holy Spirit at all, they are dead to that and only take part in their worldly works. such works are just madness like a dog chasing it's tail. their god is as Jesus said a murderer from the beginning. like Cain !

When Jesus says that NOBODY is good but God (Mark 10:18, Luke 19:19) - I'll take HIS word for it

and
not yours , , .

Not mine? I didn't SAY to believe MY words.

I was clear. Scripture says;

Luke 23
[50] And, behold, there was a man named Joseph,a counseller; and he was a good man, and a just:

I was clear. I believe ALL Scriptures Are True.
I was clear. I Agree with ALL Scriptures Being True.

You were clear.

You "said" you Agree ALL Scriptures ARE TRUE.

But YOUR OWN Argument SHOWS YOU DO NOT "BELIEVE" "ALL Scriptures ARE TRUE .

Your OWN "Words" and your OWN "Beliefs" are in "Conflict"...

And "INSTEAD" of "FIXING" your own "CONFLICT"...

You have Learned the OLDEST TRICK IN THE BOOK...AND "USE" that TRICK..."over and over and over and over and over"....
To ad nauseam...

"BLAME ME, BLAME ANOTHER" FOR YOUR OWN CONFLICT, between WHAT "YOU SAY" and WHAT "YOU BELIEVE". .

I Have never said to Believe me.

On numerous occasions I Have said, TRUST to Believe ALL Scripture is True.

You have REPEATEDLY Shown, "YOU CAN'T".

Dude, "Your inability to TRUST ALL SCRIPTURE IS TRUE"... IS YOUR Dilemma,
NOT MINE. You own it. Not me.

Glory to God,
Taken

Uhhhh, no – we’re talking about YOUR words.

Jesus, who is GOD states very explicitly:
NO ONE is good except God alone” (Mark 10:18, Luke 18:18).

YOU insist that Jesus is lying because Luke 23:50 says that Joseph of Arimathea was a “good” man. Once again – YOUR problem is that while you are able to READ Scripture – you completely FAIL at properly dividing it.

The CONTEXT here is blindingly clear that Joseph is only considered “good” because of His relationship with God.
Until you can understand that Scripture doesn’t contradict itself – you will remain ignorant, confused and angry . . .

You really need to calm down.
Nobody is claiming that you called Jesus a liar. I said that by your rejection of Mark 10:18 and Luke 18:18 - you are insisting that He is one.

As I told you before – Scripture doesn’t contradict itself – even if YOU do . . .

No - Catholics already do that.

A better definition would be:
To disagree witht the Catholic Church at all costs.

Nobody is claiming that you called Jesus a liar. I said that by your rejection of Mark 10:18 and Luke 18:18 - you are insisting that He is one.

Another of your FALSE FABRICATIONS...

No where DID I say I REJECTED Scripture.

FRAUD, POSER, FABRICATOR.

As I told you before – Scripture doesn’t contradict itself –

LOL...you told me? Funny.

I said ALL SCRIPTURE IS TRUE.

You Agreed.

Then you said FLAT OUT...

Joesph was NOT a good man in DIRECT "CONTRADICTION" to Scripture.

even if YOU do . . .

FRAUD, POSER, FABRICATOR, FALSE ACCUSER.

YOU are the one WHO "REJECTED"
Luke 22:50 as TRUE.

I SAID NOTHING whatsoever about rejecting ANY SCRIPTURE as TRUE...

What a Fraud, for you to DENY a Scripture is TRUE....then FALSELY Accuse ME of WHAT YOU HAVE DONE....

You simply REVEAL your Catholic teaching has taught you HOW TO BE DECEPTIVE, in blaming others FOR YOUR OWN LACK OF UNDERSTANDING.

Put on your big boy pants and be accountable for your own WORDS of REJECTION of YOU believing Luke 22:50 is "NOT" True.

I already Understand...WHY
Luke 22:50
Mark 10:18

ARE BOTH TRUE...YOU DO NOT, and why YOU cherrypick Some Scriptures "TO BELIEVE" and Other Scriptures "TO NOT BELIEVE"....Even after you have claimed to agree " all scriptures are true"....and then you claim they are not.

YOU are the ONE WITH THE DILEMMA...
Making YOUR OWN WORDS CONFLICT WITH YOUR OWN Words.

No problem for me For you to show yourself in conflict with yourself.

It is YOUR FALSE FABRICATION of saying I SAID THINGS, I DID NOT...

It's called LYING DUDE...

You do it all the time, Making up CRAP and saying it is what other people have SAID, when they haven't.

Get a q-tip, and LISTEN to what OTHER PEOPLE SAY, instead of YOU Speaking "FOR THEM"....

GET A CLUE...YOU don't even AGREE WITH YOURSELF....what in the world makes you think ANYONE wants YOU SPEAKING FOR THEM?

Sheesh!!
