Have you heard of the "WALK" series?
I haven't a copy of them, but when I first started studying in a Messianic light, the elders at my congregation were using this series to help along question/answer sessions.
I wouldn't mind having them honestly.
I've found a lot of different parsha commentaries within the messianic community since, and try to take time out from time to time and check them out to see what kind of perspectives people have, and what they were able to draw out and study that I might have missed.
I get an emailed ones and have been just saving them for now, I think I'll get more use out of them when I know that fellowship is more scarce (when I move).
really helpful link FILLED with info:Anybody have any links about the Festivals they could give me?
Oh, I finished reading Numbers the other day...have yet to start Deut.
I loved Numbers! I think I'm going to re-read Leviticus before I go on to Deut.
Anybody have any links about the Festivals they could give me?
Is there a difference between Messianic Judaism and Christianity?
In one sense, Messianic Judaism and Christianity are the same thing. There is only one faith. Messianic Jews and Christians share the same core beliefs. Let’s define Christianity as faith in the God of Israel and the Messiah whom He sent to save Jews and Gentiles. It is made up of peoples from different cultures who have organized themselves into different denominations. Christianity is made up of Jewish Believers and Gentile Believers. Messianic Judaism is the same faith but it is expressed within the Jewish heritage. Both Messianic Jews and Gentile Christians are part of Messianic Judaism.
If Messianic Judaism was strictly Jewish at first, how did Gentiles come into the faith?
It was always God's will for the Gentile nations to share in His salvation (Isaiah 42:6, 49:6). God told Abraham that through him all the nations of the Earth would be blessed (Genesis 12:1-3). The Lord set apart the Jewish people to bring the knowledge of God, the Word of God, and the Savior to the rest of the world. At first the early Messianic Jews did not understand that this was God's will and they proclaimed the Good News only to other Jewish people. Ironically, the big controversy in the first century was not whether Jews could believe in Yeshua (naturally they could), but whether Gentiles could come into the faith without having to “become Jewish”! When Messianic Jews finally understood that salvation was also intended for the Gentiles, they began to share the Good News with non-Jews as well as with Jews. As a result, many Gentiles began to come into the faith.
no link?Follow this link, and watch both parts of the video at the top, "The Miracle of Passover". It is one of the best videos I've ever seen, and what started me down the path towards MJ beliefs.
I have to be honest in saying I don't have the discipline I should have. I think part of it is not being raised up in a Christian home. And trying to live right with God is so much harder now that I'm an adult and don't have that background. But, I am seeking Him and I am trying. I have times I fail but everyone does. I need to stop being so hard on myself for doing something wrong and remember that I am not perfect and need to stop trying to be.
