Shlama Akhi Albion,
I'm not offended but I think you really, really misunderstood me big time here. As Dawid says, this was HIS terminology and HIS question. You have to parse through the questions and answers of the entire thread. He has tended to put his answer right after mine without breaks, so when you see "Andrew Gabriel Roth wrote" some of that is me and the rest is him. You responded to his section of the paragraph.
Furthermore, if you read MY RESPONSE, you will see that I DISAGREED with the "apples to oranges" analogy. I said at least half a dozen times that YHWH was no respecter of persons, not to use unequal weights and measures, not to show partiality. I stongly and clearly said the sword cuts both ways in that we Netzarim should not just criticize Christians (how I wrote back) and leave our own brethren unscathed where they fall short. But I stand by the idea that Torah observance is an integral part of both Hebrew and Gentile Messianic faith and practice, but then, you knew that about me all along right? Really brother you MUST take the time and read more carefully. You cannot rush to judgment like this. It is not worthy of the great man that you are and I am disappointed.
And finally, you should realize that the NAZARENE discussion board employs NAZARENE terminology in NAZARENE dialogue. We are entitled to some leeway here. Of course Christians are welcome there as we know we are welcome on the other boards here, but you must come to the NAZARENE board with the proper expectations and not expect us to change to Western Christian paradigm. That's NOT who we are okay?
