Messianic Apologetics editor John McKee discusses how many people who rightfully stress that we all need some kind of a “Torah foundation” in our theology, actually do not know what this means. There is a wide variance of what a “Torah foundation” actually could be: ranging from a stress on Biblical continuity Genesis-Revelation, the Torah as a living document for one’s ethics and morality, to looking at the Torah as the only relevant Holy Scripture.

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?

The modern Messianic movement got started as an outreach of Jewish Believers, to see the Jewish people come to saving faith in Israel’s Messiah. To be sure, there are other things which have taken place since, such as non-Jewish Believers entering in and more tangibly embracing their Jewish Roots. There are theological and spiritual issues, which the original leaders could not have anticipated being discussed. We pray that God raises up the right people to perform the diversity of tasks before us. The original mission of seeing Jewish people come to faith in Israel’s Messiah still has not gone away. And, if you are a part of today’s Messianic movement, you have to ask yourself, “What contribution am I making to Jewish evangelism?”
