Anti-Semitism and our Rabbi Yeshua

SCENE: The water cooler at the office. An Anti-Semite is trying to convince a co-worker that the Jewish people should be blamed for "everything" Anti-Semite:  "All the world's troubles come from the Jews" Average Joe: "Oh really, from the Jews??!" Anti-Semite:  "You know they have all the money in the world" Average Joe: "All of it? Seems to me that Bill Gates and Donald Trump have some, not to mention the Saudi Royal Family" Anti-Semite:  "They're taking over the government too" Average Joe: "I can't seem to remember any Jewish Presidents" Anti-Semite:  "Besides, they're not pure Americans anyway" Average Joe: "My ancestors are from Italy, where are yours from? Anti-Semite:  "Never Mind! Like I said, our troubles are from the Jews" Average Joe: "OK, from the Jews,... and the Bicycle riders" Anti-Semite:   "Why the Bicycle riders??" Average Joe:  "Why the Jews?!!" “Believing in Yeshua does not produce anti-Semitism. It may have been the convenient scapegoat for some, perhaps for many. For prejudice runs deep in the core of men's experience. But belief in Yeshua the Messiah is not the cause of anti-Semitism. In fact, one Jewish source claims that modern anti-Semitism is not religiously motivated at all, "Modern anti-Semitism is thus built on racial, not religious foundations and the adoption of the prevailing faith no longer provides an escape route for persecuted Jews." For a professing believers to side...

Real Messianic Judaism

This article is an attempt to express my thoughts on a “definition” of Messianic Judaism. As with many things, this “definition” requires that I explain what I believe Messianic Judaism is not before I tell you a little bit about what I think Messianic Judaism is. It is necessary that I say a word here about the “Mess ...

The Need for an Identity | Messianic Judaism #1

The Need for an Identity | Messianic Judaism #1

I am hoping to write a series of articles about Messianic Judaism. My purpose is to tackle what it both is and is not as a movement. I also want to address what I feel are some of the major issues which we as a body need to address to move forward in our development. I realize that many books and articles have been written about the Messianic Jewi ...

Messianic Judaism: So what's our Purpose?

From its inception, Messianic Judaism’s primary goal has been to be a home and way of life for Jewish followers of Yeshua. However, if we are honest with ourselves we must admit that our efforts have largely been a failure. In the decades since our ...

The Jewish or Gentile Messiah?

The Jewish or Gentile Messiah?

Do you know who created the new religion called Christianity? It certainly was not our Rabbi, Maran Yeshua or his Jewish followers! When our Rabbi, Maran Yeshua healed the leper, did he tell him to go light a candle in the church? No! He said, "See that you tell no one, but as a testimony to the people, go let the Cohen (temple priest) examin ...

For we have seen his star in the east, and are come to pay homage ( ...

The term crypto-Jew is also used to describe descendants of Jews who still (generally secretly) maintain some Jewish traditions, often while adhering to other faiths, mos ...
