And that is as close as it gets to identifying the gentile followers of God.The implication in Greek is "Ethnon" or nations/gentiles. God fearers are "Phoboumenos ton Theon", more like Ger Toshav, gentiles who have not converted yet...

I think it is important not to even appear to be putting down Trinitarianism on this forum. Yet your comments deserve reply. You might have better luck if you asked for Jewish answers in the forum called "Ask a Jew - What's Nu? Questions about the Messiah." It's in the Outreach section in the Jewish Community Center.Trinitarianism is certainly no more inherently problematic than Kaballistic accounts of divinity, many of which are accepted by orthodox Jews.
Again, vis, it depends on what Rabbi you ask. You've been talking to people who say Christianity is Avodah Zara. That is only one possible position. The more common position is that Christianity is Shi*tuf.But Noahide laws behead a Christian. So NO is it not safe or right for any Christian to be a Noahide. Noahide's deny Yeshua as the Messiah.

It's not that they signed them into law, so much as they gave them an honorary position in terms of national morality.Vis, I saw something regarding that the US Congress adopted Noahide laws and signed them into law???
THey could not be signed into law without violating the first ammendment’s establishment clause. THe prohibition of idol worship would make the Noachide laws unconstitutional.It's not that they signed them into law, so much as they gave them an honorary position in terms of national morality
yep.. that got me research..Vis, I saw something regarding that the US Congress adopted Noahide laws and signed them into law???
In fact Judaism and relative Noahidism is making many Christians Jealous. In China some Christians convert to Noahide. The biggest Chinese forum about Judaism has 16392 members. 犹太宗教文化智慧英语翻译出版发行小组
Is this a way for Jewish Gospel?
Interesting video:
Indeed. The "Yishke" of the Talmuds is NOT the Yeshua of the Brit Chadasha.Gil Student shows that the Jesus in the Talmud is not the Jesus of Christianity.

Yes cheap grace and easy believism are the twin evils of modern "Christianity." The notion that the goal of Christianity is to get to heaven where we will reside with God eternally is a dumbed-down goal, in fact not accurate as the saints end up dwelling in the New Jerusalem which is on the earth. I would like your opinion on this matter since I have reflected on what the kingdom of God entails. On one hand it is a present manifestation as the kingdom is within us but in another sense the kingdom is yet to come. Could this be referring to the Millennial reign of Christ? Should our primary goal as believers be to rule and reign with Christ during the Millennium, and if so, do all true believers automatically obtain that status?The Recovery of the Jewish Gospel
by Dan Juster February 14, 2019
Why speak of a Jewish Gospel? Isn’t the Gospel universal and for all peoples? Yes indeed. We use the phrase Jewish Gospel to speak of the original context of the message. This context was the first century Jewish community. The Gospel not only was first spoken to Jews in Israel, but was taken to the nations by Jews who understood it in that context. This recovery of understanding the Gospel is not the result primarily of Messianic Jewish influence, though we have had some influence, but is the culmination of 100 years of Christian scholarship delving into the original context of the message of Yeshua. This recovery amazingly parallels the restoration of Jewish people to faith in Yeshua. This is God’s providence and has enormous consequences for us all.
The Recovery Turning Point
George Ladd’s Crucial Questions and the Kingdom of God published in 1951 was a great turning point in Evangelical Theology. His later publication, The Gospel of the Kingdom was given to me in 1970 by Chaplain Dr. Evan Welsh, my spiritual father at Wheaton College. It has had a formative influence on my understanding of Scripture. The late Ladd was a professor at Fuller Theological Seminary. The same orientation is reflected in our book Israel, the Church and the Last Days. John Wimber emphasized some of the themes in his preaching. Finally in the 1990s several popular books reflected this theology: Jan Hettinga’s Follow Me, Scott McKnight’s The Jesus Creed and Dallas Willard’s amazing The Divine Conspiracy.
An Inadequate Gospel and the True Gospel
The essence of all these books is that the Evangelical Church of 20th century America (including Charismatics and Pentecostals) has, with few exceptions, preached and taught a partial Gospel. Sometimes, the very essence of the matter has been left out. The essence of the Gospel is the message of Yeshua Himself. It is that the “Kingdom of God is available to you.” Therefore the Good News is that in the coming of Yeshua, the Kingdom has come. Since that time men and women have been invited to enter into this Kingdom and to live in and from it. The grace of God makes this choice possible. Not our good works, but the death and resurrection of Yeshua are the foundation of our citizenship in the Kingdom. Saying ‘yes’ to the invitation, is however, a ‘yes’ to Yeshua being our leader. It is a ‘yes’ to a life of obedience, a ‘yes’ to discipleship, a ‘yes’ to community fellowship, a ‘yes’ to elder leadership as well. One leaves the Kingdom of darkness, of self, and of Satan, and enters into the Kingdom of Light.
Yeshua Really Brought the Kingdom
Yes, something really happened with the coming of Yeshua. The incarnation, the Word becoming flesh, brought the Kingdom of God to earth and made it available to us. This is a Jewish Gospel in context because Jews were looking for the Kingdom of God. For our people at the time, this implied the fulfillment of the hopes of the prophets, including deliverance from Rome, peace among nations, and the elevation of Jerusalem as the capital of the nations. They fully expected the re-establishment of David’s throne with his Son the Messiah on that throne. Of course, the fullness of these hopes has not yet been realized. Yet the Gospels themselves are a defense of the thesis that Yeshua in a real sense did bring the Kingdom in what Bible scholars call an “inaugurated sense.” His miracles, His preaching to the poor, and His resurrection are proof that the Kingdom has come. Its manifestation is in communities of his disciples impacting every realm of life. Committing to the Kingdom in the present will lead to the coming of the Kingdom in fullness at His second coming.
What is Available in the Kingdom?
The Gospel of the Kingdom delivers us from a watered-down gospel which both requires less and delivers less, a gospel that does not lead to discipleship and produces carnal believers who are believers in name only. The Gospel of the Kingdom as it is now coming to the fore is the only interpretation that fits the first century context. What is its distinctive importance and benefit? Here are some key points to summarize it. The true Good News of the Bible is an invitation to:
The Gospel is not an invitation to say a prayer so that we have assurance of heaven. Faith is not merely mental assent, but the right response to a Kingdom invitation — a response which demands faithfulness. In both Hebrew and Greek, one word stands for both faith and faithfulness. Heaven is part of the promise, but the promise is only to those who have submitted their lives to the King and his Kingdom. All of this is possible because of the gift of the Holy Spirit.
- life in a new realm of the presence of the King though His Spirit;
- submission to the leadership of Yeshua, to His Lordship and a life motivated by the most radical love for God and others;
- fellowship in a new community;
- the transformation of our lives to conformity to Yeshua and obedience to His commandments. Commandment is a good and positive word. Transformation includes marriage, family, work, and all else in our lives;
- healing, deliverance, and signs and wonders are part of the manifestation
of the extension of the Kingdom.
Why is this so important? Because we in North America, recently, have had an anaemic Christianity that has done little to disciple. This is because we have preached a cheap grace, whereas the true Gospel saves us by a grace that motivates us to keep God’s law as taught by Yeshua. This is crucial for a Messianic Jewish understanding.
In my view, only such a gospel will be powerful enough to see a viable movement for Yeshua among the Jewish people. Only a Church conformed to such a gospel can make Israel jealous.
