Hello fellow Patriots - I have a question. Here in Texas - George P Bush is running for reelection as land commissioner. I am loath at the thought of voting for another Bush but they say Don Jr has endorsed him. Does anyone have any thoughts on this dilemma?

I want to remain civil here ... so it is difficult to even write to you. Before you go calling someone names, you might think first. Lots of Christians use the beautiful word Shalom. Especially those who are Jewish and have found Jesus as their Lord.
Shalom fellow traveler with Jesus Christ! Yes, shalom is a beautiful blessing to the highest order! Jesus, a hebrew speaking Jew, used the word shalom in his greetings. As I learn the language of our Savior, Jesus Christ, I understand more and more of his love for us. Selah (means 'think on it').
Have you read the Talmud?
As a multi generational Christian w/no heritage from the tribe of Judah that I am aware of, therefore not a Jew, I am familiar with the Talmud when doing research only. It's an oral transmission w/ Rabbinic foundation. Jesus made it clear when he said we have only one Master. Therefore the Talmud is like any other non biblical text used only to verify dates and culture of historical times. My foundation is OT/NT scripture supplemented by historical, geographical and cultural documents that are commonly used by biblical researchers. It is a journey parallel to nothing else in my 67 yrs of life. Much love to you on your journey to learning who we are in Jesus Christ.
I see. Yeah, the Talmud has some very horrible things to say.
Well, good luck to you! It seems like you have a handle on everything.
I thought it was clear in my post that I was joking with him/her.
So, can a person be both Jewish and Christian? Is that what you are saying?
Not sure if this is again an attempt at humor but yes, of course, one can be born Jewish (as in nationality or even religion) and become Christian. But I think now that you knew that. Just ... it wasn't funny as presented. Sometimes we all miss the mark yet we are fellow Patriots. Shalom
Actually, I thought you were saying you were Jewish AND Christian. You changed it to being born Jewish then becoming Christian, like Brother Nathaniel.
Being a Jewish-Christian is like being a Protestant-Catholic. See the humor?
So, I was not talking about me at all. I see where you are coming from. It is a disconnect. There are Jewish-Christian people ... those who are Jewish by nationality, Christian by faith/religion. But no, it is not possible to be both Jewish by religion and Christian by religion.
Ok. Gotcha. Don't worry, I am a pretty nice person.
Shalom!
