The "Jewish Messiah" in their beliefs is not Christ. Just sayin'.

Possibly so, but I'd also say that from what I've noticed elsewhere, they are naming Jesus. So, it might just be that the author of the news story got it a bit wrong.

From what I've learned in visiting with others, parts of the Quran are even taken from the Jewish Talmud. Also, the Muslims recognize Jesus as a prophet, so maybe it's just a matter of study until they take things further and become Christians?

That’s a pretty good example. We made a navigational error and the ship and crew were held fourteen hours, then released. We would have done the same with a Canadian ship that made a navigational error.

We were not in Iran’s waters. We were in international water that Iran claimed as theirs. I don’t care what snopes or who else tries to rewrite history. No navigational error there. They were on their knees with guns on them by Iranian terrorists so they could BS posture. That BS of Obama’s still infuriates me to this day amongst other things. Only happened because that pussy arse beach Obamanation was in office.

I have to wonder also if the navigational aids of the smaller vessels are as good as what is on destroyers and larger. As for the Iranians, they have held people such as hikers that wandered into their country for a lot longer periods than a number of hours. If the Navy's boat had actually been in Iranian waters, I'd almost bet the sailors wouldn't have been released so quickly.

With the technology that is employed by the U.S.'s military planes and with tanks, even for targeting purposes, do you suppose that a larger U.S. vessel could have told that the smaller vessel was NOT in Iranian waters with such technology?

If you read several paragraphs down there is this...

I don't know that the statement you quoted supports this. That's the wording of the author, and we all know how journalists are in lots of ways. I'm not taking a position one way or another, but based on reading that statement, I'm not prepared to say these people AREN'T Christians. Or that they ARE Jewish. Or whatever.
