=== Are You Still Jewish? (02:13) ===

[00:00:01]  Lots of people ask me, are you still Jewish?
[00:00:04]  Well, yes, in a way, but in a way not.
[00:00:09]  Racially, I'm still a Jew.
[00:00:11]  Why deny it? Weren't St.
[00:00:14]  Peter and Paul still Jews?
[00:00:15]  I mean, racially?
[00:00:17]  And didn't St.
[00:00:19]  Paul once say to his fellow Hebrews, I am a Jew of the city of Tarsus?
[00:00:25]  I can say the same, I am a Jew, but in the city of Pittsburgh where I was raised in Judaism.
[00:00:32]  I can also say with St.
[00:00:33]  St. Paul, I was brought up in the synagogue.
[00:00:48]  And I add, went to Hebrew and Sabbath school, was bar mitzvahed, and raised in a Jewish
[00:00:54]  home by two Jewish parents.
[00:00:57]  But there's a difference now.
[00:00:59]  I'm no longer a Jew religiously.
[00:01:02]  I now believe in Jesus Christ.
[00:01:05]  Many say I should call myself a Messianic Jew.
[00:01:09]  But I'm a Christian now, and the name of Christ has been inscribed upon my forehead through orthodox baptism.
[00:01:18]  Didn't St. John of the Apocalypse say that Christ's name would be written upon the foreheads of his followers?
[00:01:26]  And besides, Messianic Jews are beyond the pale of the historic apostolic succession.
[00:01:33]  They're really Protestants, you know.
[00:01:47]  A movement shaped some 1600 years after Christ set up His church.
[00:01:53]  Messianic Jews, in my opinion, are basically Baptists with yamu kizan.
[00:01:57]  You can't have a little bit of the Law of Moses with most of it left out.

=== The Order Executed (01:35) ===

[00:02:03]  Remember that time you were in that hallway?
[00:02:08]  He's recording it all for everybody.
[00:02:12]  Sean Connery walks by, what do you do?
[00:02:18]  What do you do? What is expected of a godly man and a godly woman?
[00:02:22]  Keeping kosher and wearing prayer shawls doesn't quite get it.
[00:02:27]  For without a temple and a priesthood, there's no atonement for sins.
[00:02:33]  Atonement is through the priesthood after the order of Melchizedek, predicted by King David, intact in the Orthodox Church via
[00:02:42]  apostolic succession.
[00:02:45]  The order of the priesthood is to be executed on the day of the Holy Mass.
[00:03:06]  ...
[00:03:27]  Who said the Church is something of the past?
[00:03:30]  The future belongs to the sons of God, not the synagogue.
