Grassfire Member since 2000.  Conservative but not a republican!  Die hard follower and believer in Yeshua Meschiach (popularly known as Jesus Christ) but NOT a christian!  Support all the same values though because these are the matters that matter most to God!  I prefer to call myself a Berean for they diligently searched the scriptures each day to determine which things were true!  My study has led me to an absolute belief that Yeshua fulfilled all the  messiania prophesies and was/is the Messiah of Israel, born of the seed of the woman but not of man, died on the cross the perfect and unblemished lamb of GOd and was risin up on the third day as is verified by almost all the historians of that day.  Sounds like Christianity I know,.. but I can show you over 400 statements in the Bible made by Yeshua, Peter, John, James and the prophets (also Josephus and Hippolitis) that indicate Christianity is a false religeon because it follows NOT AFTER CHRIST but follows after Paul.  If you do a diligent study you will learn that what Paul Teaches is most often the direct opposite of what Jesus taught!
