About Me

I am a believer in the good news of Yeshua (Jesus) the Messiah. Here is a blog explaining a little bit about how that relates to my identity as a Jew
This here is my personal blog (I also contribute to tu quoque ). The theme (here and there) is philosophical theology and other related topics.Here is some of my noise and music .

My Interests

the messianic movement, theology, moderate realist philosophy, music, Israel

I'd like to meet:

Oh. I'll get my chance.

Music:

the pit that became a tower, metropolin, photek, dat politics, why?, what comes out!

Books:

recent, current, and upcoming reads:

the bible
god & time: four views (helm, padgett, craig, wolterstorff)
the critique of pure reason (kant)
the closed circle: an interpretation of the arabs (jones)
systematic theology: church and last things (geisler)
the doctrine of endless punishment (shedd)
guide to the perplexed (maimonides)
letter to yemen (maimonides)
talmud
midrash rabbah
being and time (heidegger)
summa theologica (aquinas)
the division and methods of the sciences (aquinas)
the unreality of time (mctaggart)

Heroes:

those who have fought for truth, those who have shown mercy, the great sages, and most importantly, Yeshua.
