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.
Messianic Judaism
Messianic Apologetics editor John McKee reviews the one, ongoing significant area, where the Messianic community just cannot seem to have proper resolution: our identity. There are doubtlessly distinctions between Jewish and non-Jewish Believers, just as there are males and females.

Messianic Apologetics editor John McKee reviews some of the significant questions raised by 1 Corinthians 7:17-24 and “Paul’s rule in all the assemblies (churches).” Is the “calling” in view a vocational calling, or a calling to salvation and sanctification?
