🇺🇸 🇮🇱 Addressing the Theological and Spiritual Issues of the Broad Messianic Movement
John McKee delivers the March 2026 Outreach Israel News update. Galatians 3:28 makes one of the most profound statements in the entire Bible. In evangelical Protestantism, Galatians 3:28 is commonly used to promote equality among all Believers, and that one’s individual status or identity should not be used as a means to promote rivalry and prejudice. How frequently are the egalitarian implications of Galatians 3:28 understood by people within today’s Messianic community?
Messianic Apologetics editor John McKee reviews the important concept of the New Covenant. This has profound implications for what people think about the ongoing fidelity God demonstrates toward Israel, as well as the continuance of the Torah. How is the New Covenant related to the Galatians 4 issue of casting out the bondwoman, the Mosaic Covenant?
This is then followed by a review of important stories and issues from the past day or so, largely witnessed on social media.
Messianic Apologetics editor John McKee reviews a very difficult passage for many Messianics: Galatians 2:11-14. The Apostle Paul publicly confronted the Apostle Peter, and accused him of violating the truth of the gospel. Was the problem over Peter following the kosher dietary laws, as many Christians conclude? Or was the problem over Peter not properly recognizing the non-Jewish Believers as equal members of the Body of Messiah with Jewish Believers?

Messianic Apologetics editor John McKee discusses some of the controversies caused by the terminology “Israel of God” in Galatians 6:16.

Messianic Apologetics editor John McKee reviews Galatians 4:8-11. Did the Apostle Paul forthrightly condemn the Galatians for observing the seventh-day Sabbath and appointed times? Or, are there some ancient background issues which need to be taken into consideration, when properly reviewing the Galatian error?

I have heard that the Torah actually composes the “elemental things of the world”? Is there any truth to this claim?
Messianic Apologetics editor John McKee discusses some of the complicated matters of Galatians 5:2-3. What would have been some of the negative consequences for the Galatians to go through with circumcision, actually returning to a yoke of slavery, and falling away from grace? These factors are often not considered in some contemporary Messianic discussions over Galatians 5:3, where one circumcised would become “a debtor to do the whole law.”

This article addresses the clause “under the Law” (Grk. hupo nomon), how it is used, and what it means in its appropriate context in view of what both the Tanach and Apostolic Scriptures tell us about the significance of God’s Torah.
How can today’s Messianic movement widely advocate that the Torah is still valid, when Galatians is clear that the Law of Moses was a thing of the past?
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.
