I am me? Elaborate?

I am not Messianic in any way shape or form. If you're going to check out my profile, read my questions. And yes, I am a "fan" of David T. Why? So I can keep an eye on him. I am a fan of many Messianics to keep an eye on them and the nonsense they put out.

So I looked into the matter as best I could, regarding Sammer's remark.

There was a woman named Ruth51 on here for 1 day it seems. She was Messianic. She was not a Jewish person, and did not claim to be. She liked Messianic Judaism. Her avatar was very similar to LadySuri's. It did have a different face structure, but everything else was the same. She joined Yahoo Answers a day after LadySuri. She only asked or answered on that day, and she did not impersonate Lady Suri, ever.

Lady Suri answers on Jewish topics often. She says she is not a Messianic and is an Orthodox Jew. I looked up many of her questions to see if she had a similar style, or copy and pasted from Ruth51. I couldn't tell if the style was so very similar. It's roughly similar, but it's similar to many others. I'm not an expert in such things. They both answered a question on why there are no sacrifices in Judaism anymore, asked at different times. They both missed the correct answer, but so did every other Jew who answered. (I'm a rabbi. The real answer is subtly different from the common one.)

Sammer, is correct about a Hebrew mistake Lady Suri made. It was a mistake, and it was a mistake only Messianics of the "Sacred Name Theology" sect make. It could be that she didn't read his remark carefuly, or that she made an uncommon mistake that is coincidentaly the kind that another group of people makes.

After reading her answers, I think that she probably is not in fact an Orthodox Jew in real life. Her answers often deviate sharply from Orthodox theology held by any Orthodox groups, particularly regarding conversion questions. She also does not seem to completely understand the differences between Conservative, Orthodox, and Reform. That could be evidence that she is a person who was not raised among Jews, or just that she is not aware of other beliefs and projects what she thinks they are onto them. That is common enough.

Basically, I'd say she is not what she claims to be; but there is no way to know if she is Messianic or just pretending to be more religious than she is. It's also possible she is newly religious.

That's my opinion.

I also do not believe, however, that Sammer is being completely open. He seems to know a great deal about Judaism, and has quoted acharonim correctly. He has also quoted the Shulchan Aruch correctly in an arguement with Jews, who did not know the passage. The passage was obscure. My guess is he's really a disgruntled yeshivah student. I could be wrong

LadySuri is a religious Jew.
Sammer just proves his ignorance of all things Jewish. If you had really looked at her profile and her answers you would see she is not in any way Messianic, in fact she abhors them. So what if she's a "fan" of David T.? Did you read her answers to questions he's asked? I know LadySuri personally. She's an Orthodox Jew, through and through -- she doesn't 'pretend' to be Jewish, she actually is. If anyone is a poser messianic ex-christian, it'd be David T. Of course, you aren't him already and trying to besmirch LadySuri's integrity, are you? No, not even the ignorant David T. would paint himself an Islamofascist suicide bomber.

Who is LadySuri? She's a devout Jew who cares passionately about her religion and what it stands for. She stands up for what she believes in and calls out the faults in other people's claims about Judiasm. She hates Messianics, because they take everything she stands for and twists it around to form a deformed philosophy, a hybrid reject of two schools of thought. She's a HUGE well of knowledge, and a great source if you have a question about Judiasm you need answered.

She's a good friend, too.

I agree with Mozes. Reading her replies and answering some of her questions she in no way is or was Messianic Jew. To me she seems like a devout Jew, who loves her faith, her heritage, and likes to educate and defend Judaism when questioners ask questions that demean Judaism or Israel. I do not know her age nor her occupation, but it seems to me that she has wisdom that of an educate adult. Perhaps, she is like me a teacher of Judaica or history.
By the way LadySuri if you are 21-25 and single drop me a line. I am 24 years old and will be perusing my MA in Jewish Ed. this fall.

Ladysuri is a Christian named Ruth51 (also posts on here) as well. Check out their twin avatars. (quick before she changes them.)She is a former Christian who got into Messianic Judaism, then gave up believing in Christianity, but rather than convert to Judaism, she pretends she's Jewish.

As Ruth51 she answered this question, "If the Jews did not accept Jesus as the Messiah who told them they could stop making sacrificial sin offering?"

like this: "Jesus WAS the sacrifice for all, but most Jews did not recognize Him as Messiah. Therefore, they continue to live under old laws, many practicing their religion as passed down through their families, still looking for their Messiah to come. Messianic Jews, however, are people with Jewish lineage who have accepted Christ's redemption and are practicing Christians today. Messianic Jewish music is FABULOUS!!!! "
