jt: Where would you come up with an idea like that?  You can not be Mormon/Christian
any more than you can be Jew/Christian.

john: Regarding the Jew/Christian thing:  read Acts 21.   
 
jt: I just recently went over all this with DavidM; Agabus prophesied by the Spirit of God and in
spite of Paul listening to the elders and going to the temple the Jews bound him anyway.
 
john: More than that  -- virtually all of Paul's problems in the church was caused by a brand
of legalism called Judaism. Alexander the copper smith was probably a Jew/Christian.  I
personally believe that Alexander was the reason Paul was prosecuted unto death  
(Alexander has cause me much harm).
 
jt: I agree with you about Paul's problems but these Jews were not 'in the faith' Look at
what Paul writes to the church at Galatia who had come under their influence. "I marvel that ye
are so soon removed from him who called you into the grace of Christ unto ANOTHER GOSPEL
which is not another; but there would be some that trouble you and would pervert the gospel of
Christ" and in Chapter 3 "O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you that you should not
obey the truth" 
 
john: Evidence of the Jewish church is abundant in both Romans and Hebrews.   It is just
very short sighted to NOT see the Jewish/Christian church in the biblical message.   It is actually
everywhere.   
 
jt: There are Jews who say they are Christian. However, if they have put themselves back
under the Levitical law their faith is in vain. It's obeying the truth that get's one into the right
Kingdom. Jesus now has the covenant and he is the mediator, not the law of Moses. 

john: Anyway  --  I have to clean the pool.   It is a great day here in Fresno.

jt: It's nice in Virginia today also, spring is in the air.
