We are Messianics, not Christians in the normal sense of that word, as you might think of it.
There is no 'required' version(s) of Scripture. Many use the JPS 1917 (or 1985) for the Tanach. The Christian Testament has a variety of possible versions that are available.
Scripture, however, is taken very seriously, as written, and we work on any areas that are less clear to find a correct understanding, using both the Tanach and the Christian Testament, as we grow in our faith. The Apocrypha is not a closed book to us by any means.
Places of worship that Messianic's attend make their own decisions as to readings etc., in their services. There is no Messianic 'Lectionary' if that is what you are asking, but many do follow, and take part in, the Moedim.
I hope that helps
Yes thank you, that is very useful....
Do you take the view, as I have been told by a number Jewish Rabbis on other forums, that the scriptures need re-interpreting by each generation to keep their understanding of it relevant to new circumstances. And that for every two Rabbis their are three or more views.
