Are All Jewish People Messianic? by Rico Cortes

[heart2yah]

Netzarim is a better term, Netzarim Judaism.

[Menechem]

@thatsmrtoyoubuddy King Oyster denounced Christ, he'll do nothing but lead you astray.

[KingOystar]

@thatsmrtoyoubuddy well I am an Orthodox jew. I have studied the TaNaKh. I belive in one G-d who is alone and has none who campare to him. the religion of messys is identical to that of Xtianity. it is about what we believe.

[KingOystar]

"messianic Jews" are just DECEPTIVE Xtians who play jewish dress up!

[slavell19]

@izkda8 the messianic jews are the writers of the renewed covenant (new testament) and those who followed in that time you sound ridiculous

[etc1er]

thats a smart dude!!!

Me as a believer in yeshua,the Talmud is beautiful.

[Menechem]

11 If, then, perfection came through the Levitical priesthood (for under it the people received the law ), what further need was there for another priest to arise in the order of Melchizedek, and not to be described as being in the order of Aaron? 12 For when there is a change of the priesthood, there must be a change of law as well. (Hebrews 7 HCSB I encourage you to read it in context starting at verse 28). I a formerally Orthodox Jew, now Born Again Southern Baptist Jew, do not keep Torah!

[SlaveOfCrist]

@Menechem Amen, brother. These people are being deceived by these false judaizers. I was struggling so much with the old covenant and with the new covenant and I believe the Lord permitted it. I have dealt with this subject intensely and the Lord took me out of the false notion that we are under the law of moses. Many of these people try to take Mathew 5:17 out of context to make it say what it is not saying. Many people don't understand what it means; Christ came to fulfill the law & prophets

[SlaveOfCrist]

PART 2 - What that means is that Christ came to fulfill all that the law and the prophets said about him and what he was going to do. Also when he says "Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven" it is talking about the commandments which he was about to teach two verses later, not the law of moses. Satan has done a mighty work to confuse many. The new covenant is the law of Christ in our hearts

[Menechem]

@SlaveOfCrist You hit the nail on the head brother. When I came to faith, I was Orthodox, now I'm a Christian, fully aware of the New Covenant, who happens to keep a Jewish identity, but who is truly rooted in Christ. From Paul's own words, with my paraphrasing (from Galatians 4), Christ took us from Hagar (Sinai's covenant), and placed us in Sarah (Covenant of Faith)

[rclamb04]

With all the pathetic garbage in the Talmud I do not think we have any business using it as a reference.

[doverette]

the only thing that concerns me is that when I hear "we are not Christians" etc... I think that can be confusing to some people. Because to most believers I know "Christian" means "Christ like" or we could say "Messiah like"..people who are following and have accepted Messiah. I understand when you say "Christian" you are referring to Catholics or people who claim to follow Yeshua but really follow paganism. But someone who hasn't heard all this might be confused. Make sense? Shalom :)

Love the Aleph-Tav hat!

Great explanation also of conversion versus repentance.I couldn't agree more! And I love how Rico brought up the fact that following the commandments is a declaration of whom we serve. When I truly realized that in regards to Torah observance, it as if scales had fallen from my eyes!

[mapy1979]

Yes paul I totally agree with what he is saying. That is what i try to tell people but they think i am against jews and christians but i am not just trying to get them to understand the scriptural way and that is hard.
