Will the real Mike Huybensz please stand up? Your first two paragraphs
contradicted one another. Jeff's criticisms have been that Christian
perspectives of Christianity are correct and Judaic perspectives of
Christianity are not. Then you agree that the Christian perspective is 
probably not correct. Make up your mind. 

It would also be appropriate to be specific and indicate what you are
talking about so that readers can judge the merits of your logic or lack
of same. Otherwise, you really haven't said anything.

It does seem typical of the 'ugly American' syndrome that we seem to be
very arrogant in presuming to know more about communism than the
communists, more about Nicaragua than the Nicaraguans, more about Cuba
than the Cubans, more about.... ad infinitum. Somewhere there will have
to be a recognition that these things just aren't so. Presuming to know
more about Judaism than the Jews is just one example.

Mike indicates that he in interested in "the range of possible
interpretations", yet is convinced by Jeff that the Judaic perspec-
tive of an ancient Jewish sect is not not in that range of possible
interpretations... Oooook. Want to buy a nice property in SW Florida?
