    Why not Christians?

    In the sense that we've now created a god in our own image...not the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacobs. I've heard some who call themselves 'christian' also call Paul a false disciple. It's because they try to portray Paul as a Greek instead of a Jew and read his writings from the Greek...

    I'm confused

    I agree, Zardoz. Yeshua said, "If you believe not that I am He, you shall die in your sins". "He" meaning "Messiah". It is not necessary to understand the mystery that is God.

    Why not Christians?

    Read "Our Father Abraham". While the present day church may not knowingly promote this anti-semitism, the early church was in replacing the Sabbath (4th commandment) with Sunday and eliminating some of the God ordained feast days (Yom Kippur, Passover, etc.) either replacing them (e.g. Easter...

    Why not Christians?

    Ayani, I'm not sure what you disagree on since I agree completely with your post. :)

    I'm confused

    Again, it depends on who you talk to. There seem to be 3 main camps - Yeshua is God in human form; Yeshua was divine but not deity (not sure I understand this one but it is apparently a 'karaite' view) and Yeshua is the living word of God (Memra). Messianic Jews differ from Rabbinic Jews in...

    Messianic Judaism

    I'm guess, but probably to retain their Jewish identity. If you look up their beliefs, however, you'll find that they are christian in all but name only. They, like christians, believe they do not have to be obedient to God's law because "Jesus nailed it to the cross." This seems to be the...

    Is Jesus For the Jews?

    Since those of us who believe Yeshua is the Messiah are considered apostate, this view is certainly understandable, although inaccurate. Christians (Jew or Gentile) believe the Torah has been voided. While they say they believe the Torah defines sin, they give vague nebulous reasons as to why...

    Messianic Judaism

    Not quite correct. If your beliefs are identical to christianity, then it doesn't matter whether you are Jew or Gentile, you are a 'christian'. Messianic Jews (or Gentiles) believe that the Tanakh points us to the Messiah and the Messiah points right back to the Torah. We believe that God's...

    Question?

    18 “Known to God from eternity are all His works.19 Therefore I judge that we should not trouble those from among the Gentiles who are turning to God, 20 but that we write to them to abstain from things polluted by idols, from sexual immorality,from things strangled, and from blood. 21 For Moses...

    Why not Christians?

    Read "Our Father Abraham: Jewish Roots of the Christian Faith" by Dr. Marvin Wilson. The christian church and its theology is based on anti-semitism. Christianity, with rare exception, teaches that Yeshua (Jesus) created a new religion (christianity) and a new chosen people. Emmalyn

    I'm confused

    Depends on who you ask. I am a Messianic Jew and I do not consider myself a christian because our beliefs are different. Like christians, I believe that my salvation is by God's Grace through faith. However, christians generally see Yeshua (Jesus) fulfilling the law by ending it even though...
