Addressing the Theological and Spiritual Issues of the Broad Messianic Movement
Many people in the Torah movement have lost sight of the most significant event in human history: the death, burial, and resurrection of Yeshua the Messiah. They frequently deny that we live in a post-resurrection era, with some new spiritual realities.
How is the issue of circumcision approached within today’s Messianic community?
J.K. McKee of Messianic Apologetics responds to three categories of questions: Tanach (OT), Apostolic Scriptures (NT), and theology/Biblical Studies.
1. If the entire world is to keep Shabbat in the Millennium, why are so many opposed to keeping it now?
2. If only the Father knows the time of the Son’s return, does this not prove that Yeshua is not God?
3. How should today’s Messianic people approach the issue of circumcision?

J.K. McKee of Messianic Apologetics discusses a number of the controversies the arise in today’s broad Messianic movement, involving various outward forms of Torah observance and associated tradition.
What is an appropriate, Messianic perspective on the issue of circumcision? How do we avoid the scores of abuses and misunderstandings that have been manifested in Biblical and religious history surrounding circumcision? Hopefully in our discussion, we can have a better handle as Messianic people with this controversial topic.
