Basics of Messianic Judaism

What מרן רבינו ישוע מלך המשיח / Maran Rabbeinu Yeshua HaMashiach and HaShlichim / the Emissaries began in Jerusalem was not the church, it was not Christianity.  It was a realization that Melech HaMashiach (King Messiah) and Yemot HaMashiach (days of Messiah) had Arrived!  After the fall of Jerusalem and after the Jewish Emissaries had died they were replaced mostly by non-Jews leaders and because of their shallow roots in the Torah were influenced by the increasing anti-Semitism of the times to cut of themselves from Israel and its people.  Soon the grafted in branch (non-Jews) were breaking away to form the Jewish believers to form a new institution called "ekklesia / church". (The word ekklesia was a political term, not a religious term). The Jewish believers were known as "the Way" and because they were fully Torah observant they were ostracized by the non-Jews, this happened in places like: Especially of Rome, Alexandria, Carthage, and Antioch. The Council of Nicea and the many that followed took aim at destroying the doctrines of the Jewish Emissaries and creating or perverting them into a new religion called "Christianity". From then on "the Way" or Messianic Jews were persecuted and were known as the Pasagii or Pasagini by the Church of Rome.

The Karaite Deception

The Karaite Deception

After studying the Karaite movement, we have determined that it’s primary aim in sharing its theology with Messianic Jews, is to get it to legitimize its authority over them, by attacking orthodox Judaism’s authority on matter of halacha, especially the moedim, and to establish itself as the rightful interpreters and authority on scrip ...

Messianic Judaism – The Doctrinal Dilemma

Messianic Judaism – The Doctrinal Dilemma

There is a saying in English which we call the KISS method.  Keep It Simple Stupid.  It means that when we are trying to explain something we should keep it at a very basic level so that everyone can understand. I believe that this must also apply to the situation of doctrines and beliefs.  The harder we make it for people to unders ...

The Mask of the Marranos Jews

The Mask of the Marranos Jews

The creation of the modern state of Israel has awakened many dormant cultural pursuits, perhaps none so dramatic as the discovery of long-lost Jews. Every decade or so, another tribe of supposed descendants of biblical Israel—marked by quirky uses of Jewish symbols, eclectic religious observance, and a smattering of Hebrew prayers — is ...

Take up your cross daily?

Take up your cross daily?

How Jewish is that? Do you think this saying is very Jewish? Does it have a Jewish connotation? Believe it or not, this passage has been misunderstood completely. This passage is all about taking the mantle of leadership, not about dying crucified, or expecting one day as a martir, or even wearing a cross. We read in the Book of Uri / Luke 9 (23-2 ...

Is it Jewish to Believe in our Rabbi Yeshua HaMashiach?

Is it Jewish to Believe in our Rabbi Yeshua HaMashiach?

To some, the concept of a Jew believing in our Rabbi Yeshua seems to be a contradiction. The reason is, many people have a dichotomy set up in their minds. On the one hand, you have Jews and Judaism and on the other hand, Christians and Christianity. You are either one or the other…..so the thinking goes. But this simple dichotomy is in rea ...
