Avram Yehoshua is a Messianic who is supported by our congregation - personal friend of several. He lives his life simply and witnesses to the people he comes in contact with daily - Jew and Muslim - and has seen a sweet harvest. I just found out he has a website. I haven't poked through all of it, but it's nice!

i'm thumbing through :) very intriguing. i'm interested in his article on "Goodbye Messianic Judaism"...

there are some things about his site that unnerve me..
http://www.seedofabraham.net/ordination.htm
He ordains people into his beliefs. i think he means well (the goal being a torah observant life in Yeshua)... but the fact that he's the only person who can decide who to ordain and the fact that people have to agree with his position papers... seems odd.
The goal for ordination is to read the weekly Scripture Readings and to comment on all the material on the web site, as well as interaction with me. If I sense from the Lord that you’re ready for ordination before you finish the web site material, then you’ll be ordained at that time. Of course, you’ll need to continue reading till all the material is read but ordination is not based on what you’re read, but who you are in Messiah Yeshua. On the other hand, if after having read all the material on the web site, I sense you’re not ready to be ordained, then we’ll wait upon the Lord till I sense his timing.

no offense is meant... but my eyebrows are waggin'
