LOL, that's good.Can we have one here for entry into MJ section?
CuteLOL!!! I'll be Judas.
Why does anyone think the 12 were a beit din???Admit it, vis, you were thinking along these lines.
On a serious note, why would a "Paul" be a part of the 12? He wasn't in the original Christian Apostleship.
Rebbe is the yiddish for Rabbi.RebbeCohen,
I know this is a little offtopic, but might I ask you a question? What is the meaning of the word "Rebbe" within the Messianic context?
Because in traditional Judaism, this is a term usually associated with the leaders of the Chassidic movements. A Rebbe, to a chassid, would be a "rav d'rav". Is it the same in Messianic Judaism?
Dank!

a beit din should be at least three and up to maybe seven. three or five is a good number. more would be only good if it is a truly serious matter.to have a beit din you would need to elect a group of Rabbis and other learned men. they need to elect a chief rabbi.
the beit din has no real power or authority, they can only advise. the mods would have to enforce the rulings of the council.
what issues do you want the beit din to hear and in what capacity? how much power do you want the mods to give to the council?
i look forward to a reply and would be happy to serve
the beit din predates the apostles by millenia. it also has nothing to do with the apostles.Can we have one here for entry into MJ section?
A council, not mod, but purely MJ who function as a council regarding the standard to be upheld by the posters in this area of the forum as representative of MJ.
We need people like Charles, who can represent the Paul's, Wags, who can represent the James, Zayit, as Matthew, Stone, who can be our Peter, and Tishri who can be our John, Yod our Simon, and I would love to see MattyJames back here and he can be Mark, I will be Luke [it is the doc in me]..etc... up to twelve members.
May I ask, what would you call the council in Jerusalem headed by James( example in Acts 15)?the beit din predates the apostles by millenia. it also has nothing to do with the apostles.
The Council of Yerushalyim would be a synod or ecumenical council, not a beit din. It was a gathering of all the apostles and bishops. It was the example after which future synods and ecumenical councils were modeled.May I ask, what would you call the council in Jerusalem headed by James( example in Acts 15)?
Is this group "the Way" synonymous with "Messianic"? And do I understand you to say that "the Way" and/or Messianics are not Christian? I guess I'm just a little confused here.To me and others here we consider this to be the "Beit Din of the Way" A sect f the Jews. To say it is something less is to make it Christian! And it was clearly making halakah for the members coming into the Way!
