I was sprinkled in a Lutheran church as a babe, but by age 2-ish my mum was going to a non-denominational Bible church and CC.
They and other churches we would go to were generally viewed as "Evangelical", which I personally view as post-Protestant,
but we would visit other churches (Baptist, Nazarene, EV Free, Lutheran, Community Bible, etc.) due to acquaintances there.
Private schools, AWANA, youth groups, camps, all that kind of business growing up.
Lots of that kind of action in this area and region back then.
Went to a school at a local (Reform) synagogue a bit as well, but didn't really understand it was something Jewish as a little kid.
Some kids I knew from there ended up at a Catholic school later when we were teens - which was interesting for them LOL.
As I brought up before,
it is interesting how a Jewish believer might view themselves, and what their relationship to other Christians might be.
For examples I am aware of:
Arnold Fruchtenbaum holds to a dual status view - that Jews in Messiah are both remnant Israel and The Church.
Aaron Budjen, who was originally working on becoming a Rabbi when he became a believer, I think views himself as having a new family now.
David Hocking would go to CC and also a local Messianic group here on Sun and Sat respectively, and he has mentioned his personal wishes
that his fellow Jewish Messianics would spend more time with their gentile brethren.
Amir is a former tour guide in Israel who met regional CC people thru that, but I don't know what he and family do when in his home country.
Mister boombastic Jacob Prasch is in Britain.
Mottel Baleston is another from back East, with connections to Ariel.
Avi Lipkin and his son Aaron - Israeli I guess modern Orthodox - are not followers of Jesus, but friends to American Evangelicals.
All have their own different styles. focus, distinct views, and relation to other Jewish believers - which I think would be normal for The Church.
Most travel the World like, and along with, their Evangelical friends and counterparts.
There's just something about that name..."Jesus"
and also Israel itself
-
Not much about the OP topics on this page yet that I can see, and admittedly don't read or watch what gets posted anyway.
Just the same old anti-Christian/Messianic boilerplate - so makes wonder what Their motives here really are.
And while other threads lag here and on the "Judaism" forum
we got 18000 views and counting
mmmmm
If inspired, say a prayer for those in Israel itself, within range of attack and with fam in IDF.
My mom's acquaintances from Capistrano are there currently, as far as we know, and usually will send a letter saying "Hi".
They have been there during battle times before, but this is extra gnarly yo.
