Addressing the Theological and Spiritual Issues of the Broad Messianic Movement
How are today’s Messianic people to best approach the topic of what happens at death? Do people die, and then enter into complete unconsciousness until the resurrection? Or, do people die, and then have their consciousness transferred to another dimension, until the resurrection? Is “soul sleep” something that we need to be seriously considering, or does it need to be dismissed as a false teaching?
What do those who believe in psychopannychy/soul sleep do about Philippians 1:23, and with Paul desiring to depart and be with the Messiah?
How is the issue of circumcision approached within today’s Messianic community?
Is it not true that possessing eternal life means being physically alive forever?
I saw a teaching which discussed the “Hebrew versus Greek mindset.” What does this mean?
What is your opinion with the various calendar issues which can seem to divide the Messianic community?
Does the Torah actually teach that by keeping its commandments, a person can earn eternal life?
Is it not true that the idea of an intermediate afterlife in Heaven or Hell is predicated on dualism? Is it not true that dualism was a philosophical view that originated with the Greeks, and not with Scripture?
What is your position on the Book of Jashar? I have seen that some Messianic people consider it to be legitimate, perhaps even Scripture. This disturbs me.
I am encountering many progressive Christians and Jews who support abortion. This is very confusing to me. I need some better answers to their statements about human life.
