Yom Kippur, or the Day of Atonement, is the holiest day in all of Judaism, and was central to the kapparah (covering) of the sins of Israel. They placed a scarlet thread on the door of the temple. The scarlet thread miraculously turned white if Adonai (Hebrew for God of gods) accepted the sacrifice, thus indicating that He forgave the sins of the people. If the thread did not turn white, then they were sad, as their sins were not forgiven.

The 'scarlet thread' refers to the fact that, from genesis to revelation, sacrificial blood is the only thing that removes sin.
Since Christ came to the earth, lived a sinless life, bled and died, and rose again from the dead to take His place at the right hand of the Father~the blood of bulls, goats, sheep, etc. no longer has any power.
Jesus is your sacrifice !
Let the eternally powerfull blood of the Holy Lamb of God wash away your sin.
Just talk to Him, He`s listenin.

you're perfect. No Jew defines themself as 'non-Messianic'. this is a term utilized by potential of those Christians who term themselves 'Messianic Jews' and then declare that 'different' Jews are 'non-Messianic'. it rather is accomplished so as that they might attempt to declare that they are the 'genuine' Jews. provided that their undemanding concept (that Jesus become the messiah in accordance to the Christian definition of what a messiah would desire to be this is totally diverse from the Jewish definition) is one that is pointed out with the religion easy as Christianity, their declare that there are those 'different' 'non-Messianic' Jews is purely too absurd. this is the sport - you declare to be somebody else and then declare that the folk who've that id are lacking in some thing which you have further wherein completely distorts, even negates, the unique meaning. Bonkers or what? And definite, you have each perfect to experience aggravated by potential of individuals who play such idiotic word video games. keep in mind Humpty Dumpty in Alice interior the path of the looking Glass? He claimed that phrases meant regardless of he needed them to point. that's what Messies do. something of the international does not understand what on earth they are banging on approximately, yet they insist that their definition of the interest is the appropriate one......
