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 discusses Paul’s “I became” statements of 1 Corinthians 9:19-22. Did the Apostle actually flip-flop or alter his behavior around different ancient groups? Or, did he do his best to identify with and ably communicate the good news to different ancient groups?
This is then followed by a review of important stories and issues from the past day or so, largely witnessed on social media.
What am I to do with what is communicated in 1 Thessalonians 2:14-16? Did Paul really say that the Jewish people were responsible for the Messiah’s death?

I have heard a teaching which stated that the term “works of the Law” actually refers to Rabbinical extra-Biblical commandments? Is there any substantiation for this?
The Apostle Paul said how Believers were not to be justified, or reckoned as a part of God’s people, via “works of law.” Instead, as it has been commonly quoted to us, we are brought into relationship with God “through faith in Christ Jesus.” We have to place our trust in what Yeshua did for us on the tree at Golgotha, performing what Romans 10:9 tells people to do: “if you confess with your mouth Yeshua as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved” (NASU). It seems pretty straightforward, right?
Why do you call Rav Shaul the Apostle Paul?
