Brief List Of Most Famous Messianic Jews

[koilias]

I struggled for a long time with my gnostic spirituality and Yahshua's Jewishness and eventually found an answer in the Orthodox Church, which is-- even if not all its members realize it-- very Jewish in its theological, ecclesiological, and liturgical origins without being blindsighted by the cosmic consequences of the Incarnation.

Shalom Leah!

My joy in reading this list is only overcome by the pleasure of finding a real life Jewish believer in Yeshua! Welcome achoti.

I too have attended an Orthodox service while vacationing in Cos. I was deeply impressed by the fact that they read from the "scroll" of the Gospels, just like they read the Torah in the synagogue. Many things seemed similar. I do believe we see a little bit of what Jewish life must have been in the Diaspora in Greece when we attend an Orthodox service. The seating/participation was also very similar. The theology of the Orthodox church was greatly shaped by the theology of Diaspora Judaism...too bad that it died out (the Romans managed to wipe out all of Alexandrian Jewry...which killed off the cultural center of the Greek-speaking Diaspora). The Orthodox church are their heirs, and such Diaspora sages as Philo of Alexandria deeply influenced Greek Orthodox theology. Bless you achoti, as you are part of the rebirth of Jewish presence in your church. Never forget your Jewish roots and traditions...infuse your church with them!

Shalom koilas, and thank you for your warm welcome!

Bless you achoti, as you are part of the rebirth of Jewish presence in your church. Never forget your Jewish roots and traditions...infuse your church with them!

God grant that it may be so!

May Adonai Elohim be with you always.

In Yahshua Ha'moshiach,

Todah Rabah Leah for sharing your heart, I know it is a difficult thing to do in a 'strange place' but we all are called to have ready an answer for our faith, nu? I bless HaShem for leading you out of darkness and confusion of those other 'answers' and pray that many more souls be lead too!

I enjoy speaking with you and hearing your POV, it is refreshing to say the least. I myself have wondered at the Orthodox ways and the Old Temple and seen many similarities.

Lights are being uncovered everywhere and soon a beacon will shine!

Baruch atta B'Shem Yeshua!

Baruch atta B'Shem Yeshua!

Viemru: amein!!!

(And let me just say that for the, hmm, 24-hours that I have been in this forum my perception of Messianic Jews has completely changed. It must be a different breed of people that infest livejournal, because you guys all seem like really great mensches, whereas most of the ones I've encountered on lj have been pretty arrogant. That being said, some forums for some reason seem to bring out different things in people... some Orthodox forums I have been on have made me very angry due to arrogance and self-righteousness.)

In IC XC,
