Addressing the Theological and Spiritual Issues of the Broad Messianic Movement
Today’s Messianic community generally believes in the validity of the Torah, in the post-resurrection era. But there are levels of agreement and disagreement, when it comes to how Jewish and non-Jewish Believers should keep, or not keep, the Torah. In an as-fair-and-reasonable way as possible, John McKee directs us through how we need to focus on what we agree on first—agreeing to carefully work through those areas where not all Messianic people are presently in agreement.

John McKee discusses how the Torah has a great deal to say about human sexuality, that far too many people who call themselves “Torah observant” have no intention of ever talking about.
John McKee discusses a few of the difficulties Messianic people can have with interpreting commandments in the Torah—given to Ancient Israel first. How do we read some instructions as ever-constant, and others for mainly ancient circumstances? What are apodictic laws, and what are casuistic laws?
