Questions for Messianic Jews

[Higher Truth]

Charles,

Do not misunderstan me, as I totally agree with the 'true' doctrine of Messianic Judaism. What I disagree with is the false doctrine that others have brought in to try and steer the Messianic movement to promote their own doctrine. There is much of this going on, especially on the internet. I am not 'attacking' Shimon, I am merely stating my opinion to other members of the Messianic forum. I have personally enjoyed many of the posts and discussion.

Is www.yashanet.com a messianic site?

 

[Higher Truth]

Let me just say this. All sites that have a star of David or a Menorah on them, are not necessarily Messianic Jewish sites.

Let me send you to an excellent one. It is hosted by Rav Loren Jacobs. He has a plethora of information. The list of articles is on the right side of the page. The names of God is an excellent one to start with.

[Matthew9:9]

Speaking only for myself:

I am a Messianic Jew in that -

1.) I believe that Jesus (aka Yeshua) is the Messiah of the Jews and Gentiles.

2.) I was born a Jew to Jewish parents

3.) I am proud of my Jewish ethnicity/tribal heritage and don't wish to cast it off.

4.) I accept Torah but I reject Talmud, Mishnah, etc. I believe that Rabbinic Judaism has gone far astray by setting the words of humans (Rabbis in the Talmud)above the words of God in the Bible. 

Remember that keeping Biblically Kosher is far different from keeping Rabbinically Kosher. Also remember that the oft-quoted figure of 613 Mitzvot is a bit misleading since many of the Mitzvot pertain to Temple practices.

I must say as a christian I love the knowledge contained in this site. I will admit I do not understand if all to the degree I would like to, but my mind is delighted with this information and the thought it provokes. May be some day I will be able to contribute in a useful way.


THANK YOU ALL !!!!

so all of Talmud is thrown out because of these???
You have alot of learning to do- for you yourself cannot be completely complete without some of the insight that is in talmud.
I myself DO NOT set above Torah and the rest of the sepher HaShem, However, i do not rule out Talmud as having some inspiration within it.
I am orthodox....just a jew- and I believe in Messiah.

There is a group in Miami who are Orthodox, carry the Nazarean codocil (b'surat HaG'ulah-good news of redemption) and carry the talmud and they say there is no dicsrepancy within either of them.
I want like to understand their logic- But I DO KNOW that some of Talmud is inspired. and for you to throw that away is for you to throw away some of our brothers- because some of them are infact penned in there.

shalom!

Or how about this article describing the brutal deaths of 582 Lebanese christians at the hands of Arafat's Fatah group and the PFLP (Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine)?

He has been a mass murderer for his entire life! Why does ANYONE think he is interested in peace with anyone? He controls Palestinian media and education which teaches children as young as 5 to murder jews. It's unconscienable! It will take an entire generation to change this bloodlust.

But what is even worse is that seemingly reasonable people are being duped by his lies and the carnage continues as he becomes emboldened. I put the blame for all innocent people in this war, arab or jew, in the lap of Arafat.
