Addressing the Theological and Spiritual Issues of the Broad Messianic Movement
What is polygamy? While it is surely an uncomfortable topic to discuss, a man having multiple wives is something that one encounters in reading various parts of the Tanach. How should we as Messiah followers approach this topic? Today’s Messianic people do read the Torah on a fairly consistent basis, and doubtlessly encounter polygamy.
In the past several decades, the numbers of today’s Messianic movement have grown because of an increased interest of non-Jewish Believers wanting to tangibly connect to their faith heritage in the Scriptures of Israel. Is the non-Jewish interest in the Torah, a modern manifestation of legalism and people trying to earn their salvation? Or, is it something to be legitimately anticipated as we get closer and closer to the Messiah’s return?
In encountering various materials and teachings that carry labels like “Messianic” or “Hebrew Roots,” have you seen the proper name of God, YHWH/YHVH, used quite affluently? Has it even been implied that various scribes and religious authorities have purposefully hidden the Divine Name? What is Sacred Name Onlyism?
What are the seven Noahide laws? A new teaching circulating online proposes that Orthodox Jews are secretly controlling the New World Order, and that they will impose the Noahide laws to get people to only worship God proper, and that those who worship Yeshua the Messiah will be put to death.
What is the Flat Earth theory and how badly has it affected the thinking of some of today’s Messianic people?
Why does the Hebrew Roots movement have such a negative reputation in the Messianic Jewish movement? Why is it looked at as a spiritual plague?
What is your position concerning the Talmud? Should Messianic people consider the Talmud as containing important information for their study of the Scriptures?
“We have heard it said that to worship Yeshua is to commit idolatry, and that we are to only bow down to Yeshua. I need some help with the issue of the worship of Yeshua.”
In Biblical Studies, one of the most intriguing discussions that can take place involves the pronunciation of the Tetragrammaton or Divine Name YHWH/YHVH. How should today’s Messianic people approach this frequently divisive issue?
