Messianic books

[A.J.]

What are your favorite Messianic books and web sites? I'm looking for anything Messianic for children or adult

Do any of you have the Jewish New Testament. If so please tell me about it and if I should order it. Is it what Messianic Congregations are using. There aren't any were I live, so I'm learning everything on my own. Please give me any information you can. Thank you

Shalom AJ,

What are your favorite Messianic books and web sites?

Books? By far and away, I'd have to say Avi ben Mordechai's books: Messiah Volumes 1-3 are truly amazing.

Do any of you have the Jewish New Testament.

There are several.

1) Parsimony's translation from the Aramaic texts.
2) The Orthodox Brit Chadasha (nt) - published by Artists for Israel
3) Dr. James Trimm's Hebrew Roots Version, based on the Aramaic and Hebrew translations
4) The Complete Jewish Bible, this isn't really a different 'translation' but is simply a 'jewish-fied' version where the names are given jewish slants

There are others out there as well. I think that Sojeru knows of a few more versions that were based upon the Aramaic or Hebrew original texts.

Shalom,
Yafet.

http://www.messianic.com/ also has a rather large online database of other messianic websites, etc.

I agree with Yafet about the Messiah books, btw.

I think it's time to get back to teh topic at hand...

The Fall Feasts of Israel by Mitch & Zhava Glaser is an EXCELLENT book for studying the holy days.

 

[simchat_torah]

Back to the topic...

I would highly reccomend two more books:

"Paul the Jewish Theologian" and "Jesus the Jewish Theologian" both by Brad Young.

Brad Young's style is amazing because he can bring such depth in simplistic words.

Very easy reads, yet you will gain much knowledge.

shalom,
yafet.

 

[simchat_torah]

Brad Young has written a number of other books that are amazing as well, books on topics such as "The L-rd's Prayer", "The Parables", etc

Go check him out yo.

 

[simchat_torah]

Mark Easton, who works very closely with Chuck Missler, has written a book called: The Search for the Messiah.

Another very good read. He goes through Rabbinic tradition and shows how Y'shua not only fulfilled scriptural prophecy, but also Rabbinical writings as well.

peace,
Yafet.

If you are looking for a website that confirms the virgin birth, the Deity of Messiah, the blood atonement, where it is stated that the Messiah's sacrifice was the completion, and that animal sacrifices are no longer necessary, you can go to this site that is run by a Messianic Jewish rabbi:

http://www.shema.com

All articles are listed in the right hand column.

note: you will find no hebraic "roots" or kabbalah teachings posing as MJ on this site.

I can't seem to find "The L-rd's Prayer" anywhere.

 

[Henaynei]

I can't seem to find "The L-rd's Prayer" anywhere.

The titles given were somewhat abridged.

You are looking for The Jewish Background to the L-rd's Prayer.

Ah. Thanks!

Hi A.J.
blessings to you and welcome.
Im glad that you are engaing on a study and search...Simchat has basically said it all- all the ones that would be "needed".
Again, there is NOTHING BETTER than for you yourself to have the first hand knowledge of these writtings- so it is highly recommended that you learn the semetic and latin languages.
ONLINE there is a site done by a friend of mine
that promotes the aramaic portion of the Nazarene writtings ("new testament") at www.aramaicnt.org
you'll learn alot even if there is only a little there.

However, I also highly recommend that you LEARN by "hearing" because faith comes by hearing from a 'rabbi', one that has such a title, AND that has gone through the correct training to be recognised as a legitimate jewish rabbi- this is the only way you can CONNECT to what and who was.

Higher Truth,
The orginal question was:

What are your favorite Messianic books and web sites? I'm looking for anything Messianic for children or adult

Keeping that in mind, I'm curious as to why you chose to post links to three negative reviews. What are you trying to accomplish?

AJ asked at the start of the thread:

Simchat responded as to what he believed messianics use:

There are several.

1) Parsimony's translation from the Aramaic texts.
2) The Orthodox Brit Chadasha (nt) - published by Artists for Israel
3) Dr. James Trimm's Hebrew Roots Version, based on the Aramaic and Hebrew translations
4) The Complete Jewish Bible, this isn't really a different 'translation' but is simply a 'jewish-fied' version where the names are given jewish slants


HT responded with a link from a messianic site reviewing other messianic bibles. After I posted, I also found this on the same site:

http://www.tnnonline.net/theonews/thebible/cjb/index.html

and this:

http://www.tnnonline.net/theonews/media/fossilized-customs/

I own a copy of the CJB and the commentary, but do not use them often because it is a paraphrase, not literal.
I also own a copy of the hrv that was given to me by someone who was getting rid of it because they had left the "roots" movement, and I have reviewed the isr scriptures quite a bit as well. Of the three I would choose the CJB.
