RE: [TruthTalk] Is Truth always rational?

I respectfully disagree. I think an apostate Pharisee is one who disbands with Torah and says it is of no effect or no importance.   The reason: Paul, even when he was noted as believing in Messiah, was allowed to engage conversation within the Synagogue. This would not be allowed for an apostate.   -- slade -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, 12 December, 2004 20.49 Subject: Re: [TruthTalk] Is Truth always rational? Allow me to do a hats off to Slade for his profound play on words -- crystal-myth. Too good  !!!!!! It seems to me that a Pharisee who believes in the Christ, would be considered "apostate" by definition. Within the Messianic community of believers (is there another term?), I can see a continued respect for the (converted) Pharisee, but in the larger Jewish community, he would be considered apostate, would he not?   John
