Wow! Sounds like it was awesome. Did you meet Ralph & Mindy Seta? They were there to teach messianic dance. I've known them for a few years, and I'm organising Mindy's first trip to England ...

There was an important judgement in an Israeli court last week regarding the right of some messianic believers to make aliyah. See <URL url="http://www.cbn.com/cbnnews/359362.aspx">http://www...

I don't have time for a detailed reply, just to say that I completely agree that we need to respect the Jewish people and not do things that offend them. Misusing objects and words is definitely out o...

(Warning: long and a bit of a rant!) My view has always been that "dancing in the spirit" is a man-made term and is not biblical. As far as I am aware, its origins are in the Pentecostal movement a...

Etherea, I think the main problems (and I face them as well) are culture and community. Culture - unless you come from a practicing Jewish background the biblical festivals are not part of your ...

Can you make a connection between these two verses? Ps 30:11 You turned my wailing into dancing; you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy Psalm 100:2a Worship the Lord with gladness I...

On a slightly different, but related topic, you will sometimes come across the concept of the Restoration of David's Tabernacle. There is an excellent article by Avner Boskey (a respected messianic...

I have now done my post on book sourcing, and it's in the marketplace forum. Note that the guy is actually called Kevin J. Conner (not Connor). However, just to confuse matters, the wrong spelling ...
