It has been a long time since I have visited you folks the last time. In fact, this is the first time I'm here since I've gotten rid of my tzitzit. I admire your zeal...there must really be a depth in studying the Bible to choose to be a messianic gentile. But it is my prayer that you will be...

A BRIEF OVERVIEW OF YOUR BELIEFS 1. By what name do you define yourself to others? (i.e. Messianic Jew, Messianic Believer.) = "Messianic Jew" amongst family, friends, messianics, and others who are willing to listen to me reveal my convictions. "Christian" amongst those who do not understand...

Vis, wonderful! :thumbsup: :clap: I had to giggle about the rambling though. Regarding the Day of Atonement, I would be really happy if you could expound on that topic on a separate thread. Although I have not digged into it yet, I find extremely interesting. :)

Maybe this helps: As my devotional guide (I do morning devotion beside personal Bible Study) I use "My Utmost for His Highest" by Oswald Chambers. During one of these devotions, the author was discussing a point which made me think alot, and did make quite a difference in the way I look at the...

In my opinion, it does not matter what you call yourself. What is more important is the life you lead (a torah-observant one) and that your heart is right before HaShem. In the end, the labels you wish to tag yourself with all depends on the circumstances you are in. In Israel, calling yourself...

I have just received a newsletter which I would like to share to you all. The letter addresses the many wrong (but common) teachings being made about Acts 15 and later on discusses the Shabbat and how Christians have come to follow the Roman Catholic doctrine of Sunday worship. I want to only...

Last night I had a discussion with a close Christian friend of mine who loves to try to "prove" to me that the laws have been abolished. Of course, he is very firm with his convictions and I have no doubt that he believes that what he claims is truth. At one part of the discussion he asked me...

Thank you so much vis!:thumbsup: This helps alot and places some of my thoughts in order. Slowly the "jigsaw puzzle" is starting to make sense. This is exactly one area I can't truly comprehend. Yeshua's "story" on the sheeps and the goats wherein both the wicked and righteous will be...

And since we're talking about hell, I would like to ask: Before the cross, was there such a place? In my Thompson's I find that only Sheol is mentioned in the Bible during the times before Yeshua. With the exception of Sodom and Gomorrha (since their punishment was an example), has anyone...

I can actually say the same things about them. Although, I am not too familiar about their doctrines, the messianic congregation I attend (if I have the time and money to travel 2 hours) has leaders which were former members of that church. The only difference, they say, is that although they...

I know this has already been on the forum a not so long time ago, but I am asking for a clearer answer.:D Are we men allowed to shave our beards completely? And what does it mean not to round the corners of our heads? I don't know how I can round the corners when my hair does not grow corners...

Is this a reliable source? Any comments from the rest?:wave:

I shall be printing out the posts you have made jen, study them, and reply to them as soon as I'm done reading them. Quite lengthy. In the meantime, please keep on posting. This is not a topic which should be taken lightly and, I believe, should be studied. It does affect the way one would live...

1 Corinthians 15:12-19 12 Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead? 13 But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen: 14 And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your...

As most of you know, it is common doctrine that once you leave this world through physical death, you would go directly to heaven or hell. During christian funerals it is often said: "He is now home with the Heavenly Father." I used to believe this too, but the more I get familiar with HIS word...

My question to this part of the Mitzvah: How should we Messianic Gentiles see these commandments? Isn't this a pattern HaShem is showing us with regard to the treatment of those who are not His people? We are now grafted into Yisrael, and I believe we can view this part also as "the treatment of...

No need to change MJT...there is nothing offensive about your post. I was rather too expressive, my mistake. I know you don't hate them and how terrible it is to be in such groups. In this country (Philippines) you find alot of gays. On my campus, one out of ten are homosexuals :eek: , mostly...

Throughout this week I had many interesting discussions regarding my convictions and the law. But I found myself unable to understand the meaning of the new covenant. What exactly is the new covenant and what are it's differences between the old one? Hebrews 8:6 "But now hath he obtained a...
