| | :As a labour of love, the article is intended to be much longer and more encompassing of eg the topics you mention. For one reason or another, it is still incomplete - be that due to competing in Cp competitions, anti-vandal work, other projects, internal falling-outs. I had returned to it these last few days but then found that I was having to protect it from the over zealous attentions of another editor and then the attentions of a Jews for Judaism supporter. Returning to the thrust of your comments, setting the scene for the friction between the early church, Jewish believers and later Christianity and Judaism is important for explaining the vociferous opposition towards Messianism from both Judaism and Christianity, and giving it the right context. Due to a rather bizarre accident about 20 minutes ago in which I somehow managed to set my hand on fire, I am again a little late in adding more to the piece. Please feel free to coo sympathetic noises regarding the hand - all I received here at home was an admonition for filling the kitchen with the odour of burning flesh.

| | + | ::Sorry about your hand. Obviously we don't want to see Messianic Judaism put in a poor light and we would not allow that to occur -- and we are aware that this will be an article where outside forces will try to make that happen from time to time. At the same time, we have to be very careful that any claims that do cast a poor light on another group are verified. It seems there's a negative tone that doesn't have to be there. I'm hoping to lighten that a bit where Messianic Judaism is put in a positive light without necessarily having to do so by casting a negative light upon others.
