Since this has been posted there haven't been any flames with regards to it. What we DO have a problem with is people claiming to be Jewish but teaching Christian beliefs. This is dishonest and not part of scj's forum. My thanks to Tom Albrecht (I think) for the posting on why Christians shouldn't call themselves Jews. James mejicovs@eniac.seas.upenn.edu
