the truth, which I heard from God

There's a lot to discuss in this article. You have the Jews criticizing all Messianic Jews. You have the issue of the NT disregarding the OT covenant (in Jews' eyes). You have the hysterical comments about Windows XP and the NT.

But I'm only going to focus on one issue. I've always found Jews for Jesus to be fascinating. It's clear to me that Judaism is far more a culture than a religion to many folks. It's also clear that Jews don't see the Judaism inherent in fundamentalist Christianity. Even more amazing is that although evangelicals are by far the largest supporters of Israel because of their belief in the chosen race of God, that respect is not mutual.

The tension here isn't between two religions, however; all religions suffer from a rejection of the truth. The tension here is between man and God, bound in the stubbornness of historical rebellion.
