I am a non-Jewish Messianic Believer, and have been told that my calling as a “Messianic Gentile” is to go back to a church, and not become Torah observant. I am told that I must follow “Paul’s rule,” and that seeking to live more like Yeshua and His Apostles would violate both it and my distinct “calling,” and likely nullify God’s special calling on the Jewish people. I should instead simply help Christians in church, not too interested in their Jewish Roots, be more favorable to Israel and Jewish issues. Can you please help me?
FAQ
I have encountered a Messianic Jewish teaching which states that only the Jewish people are obligated to keep Torah, because they are circumcised. Is this what Galatians 5:2-3 really communicates? I am confused.
Is there any academic validity with Hebrew letter pictures, i.e., interpreting various Hebrew words through the representations of each letter in its spelling?
Can you give me some basic guidelines for interpreting Scripture?
How can you say that the Law of Moses is still to be followed by Christians today, when it is quite clear that “Jesus fulfilled every jot and tittle of the Law.”
It seems to me as though many Messianic Bible teachers rely on sensationalism. Can you explain why this might be the case?
Is it true that the order of the books of the Bible used today, for both the Tanach and Apostolic Scriptures (Old and New Testament), is not the original order?
Can you tell me what some of the similarities, but also differences, are, between participating in One Law and/or Hebrew Roots, versus Messianic Judaism? I have noticed that your ministry has integrated itself into Messianic Judaism.
Can you please explain to me your concept of “different versions” of Yeshua (Jesus)?
