Messianic Apologetics

Addressing the Theological and Spiritual Issues of the Broad Messianic Movement

Pronomian / Pronomian Christianity

Throughout much of the 2000s and into the 2010s, anyone who would be found discussing the issue of non-Jewish Believers and God’s Torah, was likely pulled—in one way or another—into discussions and debates, where Torah passages employing terms such as “one law” or “one statute” were featured. Frequently, from Torah passages such as Exodus 12:48-49; Leviticus 24:22; Numbers 9:14; 15:15-16, 29-30, it has been advocated that there was one basic law to be followed by the native Israelite and sojourner within the community of Ancient Israel, and thus non-Jewish Believers drawn by God into the Messianic community should not be discouraged from keeping God’s Torah. An entire sub-movement was seen to have spun off the Messianic community, labeling itself as either “One Law” or “One Torah,” making Torah declarations of there being “one law” its principal focus of theological and spiritual attention. The One Law/One Torah sub-movement has advocated that there is “one law” for Jewish and non-Jewish Believers, and hence that all should be Torah observant.

Messianic Apologetics editor John McKee reviews whether or not there is a difference between the Messianic Jewish movement (mainly focused on Jewish outreach and evangelism)—versus the various non-Jewish Torah movements (Hebrew Roots, Two-House, One Law/One Torah, Pronomian Christianity). How can people, particularly online, navigate through these differences? What actually makes the Messianic movement stand out, and on a more Biblical trajectory?
