My main reservations about Finto and hi...Hi Philip,<br />My main reservations about Finto and his books (I received another one yesterday)are some of the people who he seems to be associated with. They include people involved with some of the more questionable aspects of the charismatic movement.<br /><br />However, I still found the book to be very useful in giving an overview of the topic of the Jewish/Israel relationship with the church and prophecy.<br /><br />As with all "christian" books it would be an advantage to be blessed with an extra pair of eyes so we can keep one eye on the book and three eyes on scripture.<br /><br />Bless you mate<br />TimOnesimushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11413061573637313957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15310607.post-4687902419337871012010-06-28T17:32:41.049+10:002010-06-28T17:32:41.049+10:00Thanks, ONESIMUS, I'll chase up the Don Finto ...Thanks, ONESIMUS, I'll chase up the Don Finto Book, take a trip round your links and wait with interest for your next blog.Philip Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08266929629062158843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15310607.post-75435466407979031682010-06-28T09:13:58.433+10:002010-06-28T09:13:58.433+10:00G’Day again Philip.
Adding to what I said above, I...G’Day again Philip.<br />Adding to what I said above, I have some more books on order that should cover this same topic.<br /><br />I have also received feedback from a Jewish friend and brother who I asked to comment on my two “messianic” articles. He was one of the original members of the Chernoff’s Beth Yeshua fellowship mentioned in Yohanna Chernoff’s book. It will take a while to read through the information he sent me.<br /><br />My interest lies with the continuing role of Israel in God’s purposes. Messianic Judaism is one expression of what is happening within the Jewish community and like any other part of the church the Messianic Judaism movement has its extremes and its errors. I suspect some of those extremes are the “equal and opposite reaction” in response to the anti-Jewish attitudes perpetuated within (and through) the church for over 1700 years.<br /><br /> I want to write another article on the topic to tie this all up from a scriptural perspective.Onesimushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11413061573637313957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15310607.post-57325404785502528572010-06-28T08:05:35.062+10:002010-06-28T08:05:35.062+10:00G'Day Philip,

It gives a broader view of what is going on rather than the personal perspectives given by others. <br /><br />I also have added a couple of links to sites I have found interesting in the sidebar of my blog.Onesimushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11413061573637313957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15310607.post-11557640069236047622010-06-25T17:06:22.817+10:002010-06-25T17:06:22.817+10:00I came across your blog through curiosity (nay, ad...I came across your blog through curiosity (nay, admiration) at your no-nonsense rebuttal of a denominational zealot on another site. And when I find GODthinker here too I know I am in good company!<br /><br />Which of the many books on messianic Judaism you mention would you recommend as a starter?

He is a messianic Jew who has written a book called "One New Man" and he also has written a book that is being sent to Jews all across America. I believe it is called "They thought for Themselves". It is from one Jew to another trying to reach His people for the Messiah. I have not yet read either but sometimes follow his ministry. You might check it out. He also hosts the show called "It's Supernatural".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
