This article is a prime example of twisting the Word of God until it says anything you want it to.

What was twisted about it?

The article isn't twisted. It is the variations that come from interpretation that I was referring to. Like a messianic jew...I don't know what the textbook definition of this is...but I'm gonna assume they believe the Jesus is the messiah. Wouldn't that make them a Christian? But yet they want to continue the laws & practices of the Old Covenant. They need to make a decision here....Jew or Christian. IMO, can't be both.
FWIW, there are other 'denominations' out there not mentioned in this article that fall into the same category of one foot in the Old Covenant, one foot in the New.

This is a confusing area I need to read up more on. I think Christians are grafted into the vine of Judaism.
All these tribes that have been hidden for 2,700 years coming out now somehow signals we are near or in the end times. Not that we will know the exact time, but that it is approaching.
I lifted this excerpt for you: "A Messianic Jew is a Jewish person who believes that Yeshua (Jesus) is their Messiah. Some people think that a Jewish person who believes in Jesus is no longer a Jew. But what could possibly be more Jewish than believing in the Jewish Messiah, Yeshua?"
If you can get a book by John Hagee called Jerusalem Countdown it is pretty amazing. Hagee is from Cornerstone Church in Texas and I think I've seen his face on t.v. You probably wouldn't normally pay attention to him because he's not very glamorous.
I didn't read the whole thing completely but I skimmed a good part of it. He has some pretty interesting scriptural analysis on the interrelationships between Christianity and Judaism and their relevance to the end times. He showed an astonishing amount of knowledge in that book.
