A culture whose information is passed in oral transmission rely on memorization of huge amounts of information. In order to "bring the words back," someone merely needs to recite the first few words and the rest of the text comes to mind. I give a few examples within our own culture: "Hey diddle diddle..." "Love love me do..." "Love me tender..." "For God so loved..." "In the beginning..." "Jack and Jill..."

Also, In your discussions, could you cover the differing views that Messianic Jews share. I am sure they are not of one mind to the degree that there is no variations. I view the Old Testament as a part of the history of the Christian Church. But understanding your point of view, because youa re a brother in Christ, is becoming important to me.
