them reasoning together, and perceiving that He
had answered them well, asked Him, Which is the

is One Lord

NJB (New Jerusalem Bible) Isaiah 66 whole chapter

Before we start the next parsha, I want to talk
about the word Yahweh. It is used in the
Jerusalem Bible Translatiuon well be using
There is no Yahweh!
Yahweh is an Arabic slur.
What the Arabs did was they took Yud Hey Vav Hey
and they changed the Hebrew Vav into the Arabic
letter Wah and thus came up with Yahweh
rather then Yehova.

29
NJB (New Jerusalem Bible) Isaiah 66 whole chapter

Hebrew Scholars in Israel NEVER use the word
Yahweh because they know where it came from.
It is a new thing, it gained popularity about a
hundred years ago when 2 German archeologists
heard the word Yahweh being used by the Arabs.
But it is nothing more then a slur.

30
NJB (New Jerusalem Bible) Isaiah 66 whole chapter

"Concerted effort has been underway for the past
several generations to alter the pronunciation of
the Divine Name, known as the Tetragrammaton,
from Yehovah into the Egyptian slur, Yahweh.
In spite of these efforts, there is compelling
evidence
to stick with the traditional pronunciation."
--LambLion by Scott Jones

is the correct Hebrew rendering. "

32
NJB (New Jerusalem Bible) Isaiah 66 whole chapter

NJB Isaiah 661 Thus says Yehova With heaven my
throne and earth my footstool, what house could
you build me, what place for me to rest,

33
NJB (New Jerusalem Bible) Isaiah 66 whole chapter

2 when all these things were made by me and all
belong to me? - declares Yehova. But my eyes are
drawn to the person of humbled and contrite
spirit, who trembles at my word.

34
NJB (New Jerusalem Bible) Isaiah 66 whole chapter

3 Some slaughter a bull, some kill a human being,
some sacrifice a lamb, some strangle a dog, some
present an offering of pig's blood, some burn
memorial incense, a revolting blessing all these
people have chosen their own ways and take
delight in their disgusting practices.

35
NJB (New Jerusalem Bible) Isaiah 66 whole chapter

4 I too take delight in making fools of them, I
shall bring what they most fear down on them
because I have called and no one would answer, I
spoke and no one listened. They have done what I
regard as evil, have chosen what displeases me.

36
NJB (New Jerusalem Bible) Isaiah 66 whole chapter

5 Listen to the word of Yehova, you who tremble
at his word. Your brothers, who hate and reject
you because of my name, have said, 'Let Yehova
show his glory, let us witness your joy!' But
they will be put to shame.

37
NJB (New Jerusalem Bible) Isaiah 66 whole chapter

6 Listen! An uproar from the city! A voice from
the Temple! The voice of Yehova bringing
retribution on his enemies.
7 Before being in labour she has given birth.
Before the birth pangs came, she has been
delivered of a child.

38
NJB (New Jerusalem Bible) Isaiah 66 whole chapter

8 Who ever heard of such a thing, who ever saw
anything like this? Can a country be born in one
day? Can a nation be brought forth all at once?
For Zion, scarcely in labour, has brought forth
her children!

39
NJB (New Jerusalem Bible) Isaiah 66 whole chapter

9 Shall I open the womb and not bring to birth?
says Yehova. Shall I, who bring to birth, close
the womb? says your God.
10 Rejoice with Jerusalem, be glad for her, all
you who love her! Rejoice, rejoice with her, all
you who mourned her!

40
NJB (New Jerusalem Bible) Isaiah 66 whole chapter

11 So that you may be suckled and satisfied from
her consoling breast, so that you may drink deep
with delight from her generous nipple.
12 For Yahweh says this Look, I am going to
send peace flowing over her like a river, and
like a stream in spate the glory of the nations.
You will be suckled, carried on her hip and
fondled in her lap.

41
NJB (New Jerusalem Bible) Isaiah 66 whole chapter

13 As a mother comforts a child, so I shall
comfort you you will be comforted in Jerusalem.
14 At the sight your heart will rejoice, and
your limbs regain vigour like the grass. To his
servants Yehova will reveal his hand, but to his
enemies his fury.

42
NJB (New Jerusalem Bible) Isaiah 66 whole chapter

15 For see how Yehova comes in fire, his chariots
like the whirlwind, to assuage his anger with
burning, his rebukes with flaming fire.

43
NJB (New Jerusalem Bible) Isaiah 66 whole chapter

16 For by fire will Yahweh execute fair
judgement, and by his sword, on all people and
Yehova's victims will be many.
17 As for those who sanctify themselves and
purify themselves to enter the gardens, following
the one in the centre, who eat the flesh of pigs,
revolting things and rats their deeds and their
thoughts will perish together, declares Yehova.

44
NJB (New Jerusalem Bible) Isaiah 66 whole chapter

18 I am coming to gather every nation and every
language. They will come to witness my glory.
19 I shall give them a sign and send some of
their survivors to the nations to Tarshish, Put,
Lud, Meshech, Tubal and Javan, to the distant
coasts and islands that have never heard of me or
seen my glory. They will proclaim my glory to the
nations,

45
NJB (New Jerusalem Bible) Isaiah 66 whole chapter

20 and from all the nations they will bring all
your brothers as an offering to Yehova, on
horses, in chariots, in litters, on mules and on
camels, to my holy mountain, Jerusalem, Yehova
says, like Israelites bringing offerings in clean
vessels to Yehova's house.

46
NJB (New Jerusalem Bible) Isaiah 66 whole chapter

21 And some of them I shall make into priests and
Levites, Yehova says.
22 For as the new heavens and the new earth I am
making will endure before me, declares Yehova, so
will your race and your name endure.

47
NJB (New Jerusalem Bible) Isaiah 66 whole chapter

23 From New Moon to New Moon, from Sabbath to
Sabbath, all humanity will come and bow in my
presence, Yehova says.

48
NJB (New Jerusalem Bible) Isaiah 66 whole chapter

24 And on their way out they will see the corpses
of those who rebelled against me for their worm
will never die nor their fire be put out, and
they will be held in horror by all humanity.

Mark 91-12(Check for David on Net)

KJV Mark 91 And he said unto them, Verily I say
unto you, That there be some of them that stand
here, which shall not taste of death, till they
have seen the kingdom of God come with power.
2 And after six days Jesus taketh with him
Peter, and James, and John, and leadeth them up
into an high mountain apart by themselves and he
was transfigured before them.

50
Mark 91-12

3 And his raiment became shining, exceeding white
as snow so as no fuller on earth can white them.
4 And there appeared unto them Elias with Moses
and they were talking with Jesus.
5 And Peter answered and said to Jesus, Master,
it is good for us to be here and let us make
three tabernacles one for thee, and one for
Moses, and one for Elias.

51
Mark 91-12

6 For he wist not what to say for they were sore
afraid.
7 And there was a cloud that overshadowed them
and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This
is my beloved Son hear him.
8 And suddenly, when they had looked round
about, they saw no man any more, save Jesus only
with themselves.

52
Mark 91-12

9 And as they came down from the mountain, he
charged them that they should tell no man what
things they had seen, till the Son of man were
risen from the dead.
10 And they kept that saying with themselves,
questioning one with another what the rising from
the dead should mean.

53
Mark 91-12

11 And they asked him, saying, Why say the
scribes that Elias must first come?
12 And he answered and told them, Elias verily
cometh first, and restoreth all things and how
it is written of the Son of man, that he must
suffer many things, and be set at nought.

Todays Joke

Ira Goldberg was in front of me heading out of
the Synagogue one day, and as always our rabbi
was standing at the door shaking hands as the
congregation departed.
The rabbi grabbed Ira by the hand and pulled him
aside.
The rabbi lunged these words at him, "You need to
join the Army of G-d!"
Ira riposted, "I'm already in the Army of God,
Rabbi."
Rabbi questioned, "How come I don't see you
except for Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur?"

57
Todays Joke

He whispered back, "I'm in the secret service."

Messianic Judaism 101

By Rabbi Stanley

59
Purpose

What I hope to do in this series (Messianic
Judaism 101) is lay out an historical and
Biblical basis (foundation) for restoring
Messianic Judaism as the original faith in
Yeshua, the Son of G-d.

60
Purpose

By the end of this series we will know the
beginnings of the First Church, and where the
Messianic Movement is now going.

61
Purpose

In this class well be able to look at and
understand some critical terminology and what
different names were used for the First Century
Believer in Yeshua.

62
Purpose

Well find out what some of the earliest Church
Fathers have to say about the First Messianics
and how they felt about them.

63
Purpose

Were also gonna find out if Christian is a
four letter word.
Then were gonna find out who YOU are and what
you should or want to be called?

64
Purpose

But before we can know anything else, we have to
know its history. We have to know the roots of
the First Church.

65
Roots

There is a lot of talk out there these days about
getting back to our roots or getting back to the
New Testament Church.

66
Roots

One thing many fail to realize is that the
original New Testament Church didnt have a New
Testament OR a Church.

67
Roots

What they did have was the Tanach (Old Testament
in Hebrew) and the Synagogue.

68
Roots

At the time of the original group of Believers in
Yeshua the word Christian hadnt even been
coined yet and neither had the word Church.

69
Roots

This helps us understand that Yeshua didnt come
to start a new religion called Christianity, He
came to be the Messiah of Israel.

70
Whos who?

Now the first thing we want to look at is whos
who in the first Messianic movement.

71
Whos who?

We cant know anything till we know who is who so
we have to understand what they (Believers) were
called.
Terminology is important.

72
Whos who?

The first group of people who followed Yeshua
were called the people of The Way. Not
Christians!
They were a mix of Pharisees, Sadducees and other
sects
We see the first time The Way is used in Acts

73
Whos who?

Acts 2414
14 "But this I do admit to you I worship the God
of our fathers in accordance with The Way (which
they call a sect). I continue to believe
everything that accords with the Torah and
everything written in the Prophets.

74
Whos who?

Another thing we need to notice here is that it
is called a sect (section, part of a whole)
A sect of what?
A sect of Judaism!
How is the word sect used in the New Testament?

75
Whos who?

Acts 517Then the high priest rose up, and all
they that were with him, (which is the sect of
the Sadducees,) and were filled with indignation.
Acts 155But there rose up certain of the sect
of the Pharisees which believed, saying, That it
was needful to circumcise them, and to command
them to keep the law of Moses.

76
Whos who?

There were many sects of Judaism. There were the
Essenes, The Dead Sea Sect, The Herodian Sect,
The Daggermen (Sicarii) etc. Many different sects
and one of them was the sect of the
Notzreem/Netzareem (Nazerenes)

77
Whos who?

The word Christian first appears in Acts
Acts 1126And when he had found him, he brought
him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a
whole year they assembled themselves with the
church, and taught much people. And the students
(disciples) were called Christians first in
Antioch.

78
Whos who?

David Stern points out correctly that the term
Christian was used to denote Gentile believers
in Yeshua, not Jewish believers in Yeshua.
(David Stern Messianic Manifesto)

79
Whos who?

Where is Antioch?

80
Whos who?

Who was in Antioch?
Paul and Barnabas!
Their students, in Antioch were called
Christians.

81
Whos who?

Its not saying that THE Disciples were first
called Christians in Antioch its saying that
the disciples of Paul and Barnabas were first
called Christians there.
Paul and Barnabas werent even part of the 12
Disciples. They were apostles!

82
Whos who?

The people of Antioch were Gentiles, NOT Jews.
The Jews who believed in Yeshua were the Jewish
sect of the Nazarenes!
They called themselves Jews.

83
Whos who?

Acts 2139
But Paul said, I am a man which am a Jew of
Tarsus, a city in Cilicia, a citizen of no mean
city and, I beseech thee, suffer me to speak
unto the people.
More specifically in his particular case he
called himself a Pharisee in Acts 236

84
Whos who?

Acts 236
Then Paul, knowing that some of them were
Sadducees and the others Pharisees, called out in
the Sanhedrin, "My brothers, I am a Pharisee, the
son of a Pharisee. I stand on trial because of my
hope in the resurrection of the dead."

85
The Law?

Im gonna stray just a little here, but it ties
back shortly
These first Believers in Yeshua kept the Laws of
the Old Testament (Tanach).
The famous Church Father, St. Jerome (350 AD),
who was a Christian says this of the original
Church

86
The Law?

He said, They are those who accept Messiah in
such a way that they do not cease to observe the
old Law
St Epiphanius
(310 AD), another Christian and Church Father
goes into a little more detail

87
The Law?

These sectarians didnt call themselves
Christians but Nazarenes, however they are simply
complete Jews. They use not only the New
Testament but the Old Testament as well. They
have no different ideas but profess everything
exactly as the Law proclaims it in the Jewish
fashion. Except for their belief in Messiah if
you please! For they acknowledge the resurrection
of the dead and the divine creation of all things
and declare that God is one and that his son,
Yeshua is the Messiah. They are trained to a
nicety in Hebrew for among them the entire Law,
the prophets and the entire Writings are read in
Hebrew as they surely are by the Jews. They
disagree with Jews because they have come to
faith in Messiah but since they are still
fettered in the Law, circumcision, the Sabbath
and the rest they are not in accord with
Christians, they are nothing but Jews. They have
the good news in Mathew in its entirety in
Hebrew. For it is clear that they still preserve
this in the Hebrew alphabet as it was originally
written.

88
The Law?

Wouldnt it be great to have this as a statement
of faith!!!
Whats your statement of faith?
Actually, our statement of faith is one of YOUR
Church Fathers criticisms. We believe in the Old
Testament, Keeping the Sabbath Holy

89
The Law?

So here we see the First Church keeping the
Shabbat and circumcision and the rest of the Law.
They were quite different then the Christian
Church as early as 310 AD!

90
The Law?

Epiphanius says they are not in accord with
Christians.
So you can begin to see why I dont call myself a
Christian. Even from way back most Christians
werent really Christian.

91
The Law?

So we know that the original Jewish Believers
were called Jews. More specifically a Person of
The Way.
(Later on they were called Notzreem/Nazarenes.)

92
The Law?

More specifically they could be a Pharisaic
Notzreem or an Essenic Notzreem or Herodian
Notzreem etc.
But never were Jews from the first century called
Christians.
Furthermore, a Christian Jew is a contradiction
of terms.

93
Is Christian A Four Letter Word?

Gentile Believers in Yeshua were called
Christians and it was actually a derogatory label
placed on them
It was not a name they gave themselves.

94
Is Christian A Four Letter Word?

Well isn't Paul called a Christian by King
Agrippa in Acts 17???
Lets look at it

95
Is Christian A Four Letter Word?

Acts 1728
Then Agrippa said to Paul, 'Do you think that in
such a short time you can persuade me to be a
Christian?'" (NIV)

96
Is Christian A Four Letter Word?

Herod Agrippa was the grandson of Herod the
Great.
He was NOT a Jew.
Do you remember the teaching I did on Herod the
Great?

97
Is Christian A Four Letter Word?

I showed you his lineage. He was the son of an
Idumean and a Nabatean princess. Not a drop of
Jewish blood in him.
Some ask me why it was important to know about
King Herod? Its pretty important.

98
Is Christian A Four Letter Word?

Youll see me coming back to the Herod teaching
time and time again.

99
Is Christian A Four Letter Word?

The word "Christian" appears only three times in
the New Testament.
The New Testament's use of this term indicates
that it was a term of derision, a term placed
upon Gentile followers of Yeshua, by their
critics.

100
Is Christian A Four Letter Word?

What if somebody calls you a Christian, what
should you do?
Peter 416 "However, if you suffer as a
Christian, do not be ashamed, but praise God that
you bear that name"

101
Is Christian A Four Letter Word?

Peter was talking to Believers here!
Christian obviously was a name that Believers
didnt like.

102
Is Christian A Four Letter Word?

But Peter says if they call you this name, praise
G-d for it.
And Peter is correct here.
Even though Im a Jew, if Im called a Christian
by a persecutor, Ill bear it gladly.
They can call me anything they like for the cause
of Yeshua.

103
Then What In The World Am I?

That doesnt mean Id call myself that and it
doesnt mean you have to call yourself that
either if you so choose.
How do we know that Christians didnt call
themselves Christian?
Lets look at the Bible in Acts 1126 again

104
Then What In The World Am I?

Acts 1126And when he had found him, he brought
him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a
whole year they assembled themselves with the
church, and taught much people. And the students
(disciples) were called Christians first in
Antioch.

105
Then What In The World Am I?

In Greek if you place a name on yourself youd
say you call yourself or they called
themselves.
If someone else is calling you something, youd
say they were called
This was a name forced on them.

106
Then What In The World Am I?

So then what should a Gentile Believer call
themselves? Who are they?

107
Then What In The World Am I?

A Believer is an ok name. But A Believer in
what? would be a good question.
A Messianic Believer is a good name. That
denotes that its about the Meshiach.

108
Then What In The World Am I?

If youre keeping the particular Laws that apply
to the Jewish people then you can call yourself a
Messianic Jew or a Jew even if you dont have any
Jewish blood.
How can I say that?

Then What In The World Am I?

Because if youre keeping the covenantal Laws,
you ARE a Jew!!!
If youre a Gentile believer but do not keep the
covenantal laws and you call yourself a Jew.
The Bible says youre of the synagogue of Satan.

110
Then What In The World Am I?

Revelation 29
9 I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty,
(but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of
them which say they are Jews, and are not, but
are the synagogue of Satan.

111
Then What In The World Am I?

Thats exactly what that verse is talking about.
If youve ever said Im a spiritual Jew but
youre not keeping covenant. Please stop saying
it. Theres no such thing.
Just like theres no such thing as a spiritual
Irishman
Either youre a Jew or your not!

112
Then What In The World Am I?

If youre keeping Sabbath, if youre a male and
circumcised, you wear the tzit tzits, you keep
Biblically Kosher, youre doing your best to keep
all the other laws as you learn about them
welcome to the family.

113
Then What In The World Am I?

But, if you believe G-ds Laws are of no effect
and/or dont have any Jewish blood and call
yourself a Jew youre of a different synagogue.
Theres a lot of Messianic synagogues that bear
resemblance to what Im saying here.

114
Then What Should I Be?

So why in the world would you want to be a Jew?
What advantage is there?
I have one answer to that

115
Then What Should I Be?

MUCH IN EVERY WAY!
Romans 31
1What advantage then hath the Jew? or what profit
is there of circumcision?
2Much in every way. chiefly, because that unto
them were committed the oracles of God.

116
Then What Should I Be?
x

If one wants to be a Jew, then come on board.
But let me tell ya
It aint easy.
Were the most persecuted people on the planet.
You may have to give up many things that ya like

117
Then What Should I Be?

Gotta observe all the commandments given to the
Jewish people that pertain to you (male or female
etc.
Its really hard at first but you do come to love
them and understand that they are beneficial and
healthy.
Before long, youll actually look for more
Instruction (Torah).

118
Then What Should I Be?

If you want to stay a Messianic Gentile, no
problem. Youre still our brother or sister in
Yeshua.
Simply put, there are promises for Believing
Gentiles and there are promises for Believing
Jews.

119
Then What Should I Be?

Different promises but never-the-less promises.
Believing Gentiles will receive a portion of the
World to come outside of Israel
And the Believing Jew will receive a portion of
HaAretz (Israel) in the World to come.

120
Messianic Judaism?

So what the Messianic movement is trying to do
now is get back to the way it was during Yeshuas
time.
We feel weve been going down this Paganized
Christian road for 2,000 plus years and now its
time to stop and get back on track.

121
Messianic Judaism?

That doesnt mean we have to go back to wearing
robes, but it does mean that we have to keep His
Laws and Commandments in order to be a part of
the Covenant.

122
Messianic Judaism?

We encourage Gentiles to keep covenant for a
variety of reasons.
For one it is a healthier lifestyle.
For two there are advantages in every way (not
meaning the Greek 100)

123
Messianic Judaism?

This is NOT Judaizing!
Judaizing is saying you cant be SAVED unless you
keep the Peculiar Laws of the Jewish covenant
with G-d.
Otherwise if you told someone to not murder,
youd be a Judaizer!

124
Messianic Judaism?

A gentile who doesnt keep the Peculiar Laws is
just as Saved or Born Again, as I am.
After Salvation there are differences.
This really isnt that different then how the
Church sees it

125
Messianic Judaism?

In a Church, if I sacrifice a lot for G-d (ie.
fasting) will a Pastor tell me that that causes
me to grow closer to G-d?
Yes, he will say that.
If I sacrifice my very life, hed say I have
treasures in heaven through eternity as a martyr.

126
Messianic Judaism?

Im saying if you become a Messianic Jew, you
will be sacrificing a lot and in turn, you will
grow closer to G-d.
Its really not that different in that regard.

127
Messianic Judaism?

We even see this in the model of the Temple.
In the very structure of the building we see
where G-ds Shechina rested. His throne was in
the holy of holies.
Further away from His throne was the holy place.

128
Messianic Judaism?

Further away from G-ds throne was the Court of
the Jews and the furthest away from that was the
court of the gentiles,

X
129
Messianic Judaism?

They were on the outskirts because they didnt
want to get circumcised and keep all the peculiar
laws.
They were Saved, no doubt about that, but they
didnt get to look into the inner Temple.

130
Messianic Judaism?

Speaking metaphorically, I want to look into
G-ds inner Temple. I want to see the holy of
holies, at least the Holy Place.
Im not saying that a Gentile Believer cant grow
in the L-rd, but I do have to agree with Paul
that there are advantages to being a Jew.

131
Messianic Judaism?

For women, its really quite easy being a Jew
If youre a man and not yet circumcised not so
easy.
But its worth it.

132
Messianic Judaism?

I truly believe that if you become a Messianic
Jew, G-d will open up the Scriptures to you
because it becomes your inheritance.
Being given the Oracles of G-d is a great
advantage, it means G-d gives us a better
understanding of His Scriptures!
Why else do we need Messianic Judaism?

133
The Whole Counsel Of G-d

The truth, the whole truth and nothing but the
truth.
We say this phrase in front of a court of Law
here in the United States
But few in Christendom approach Scripture this
way.

134
The Whole Counsel Of G-d

In most Churches today were presented a
one-sided, Gentilized version of a faith that
shows us only the grace of God without showing us
His expectations as well.

135
The Whole Counsel Of G-d

This one sided view is only a partial gospel and
not the whole truth
At best Id say the Church isnt presenting the
whole counsel of G-d and at its worst Id say
its presenting another Gospel all together.

136
The Whole Counsel Of G-d

Paul said in Acts 2027
I did not shrink from declaring to you the whole
counsel of God.
What did he mean by that.
Paul in this chapter was warning Believers that
wolves would come in among them.

137
The Whole Counsel Of G-d

These wolves would teach false doctrines and try
to lead the elect into darkness.
Todays Grace Theology is doing exactly that.

138
The Whole Counsel Of G-d

Grace Theology is the idea that Whenever we
commit a sin, we simply ask Jesus to forgive us
and nothing more is then required. His grace
covers us.

139
The Whole Counsel Of G-d

This theology leaves out repentance, restitution,
change of attitude and lifestyle as well as
obedience to His Torah.

140
The Whole Counsel Of G-d

The Church as a whole ignores repentance because
the Church teaches that we are sinful beings who
cant stop sinning.

141
The Whole Counsel Of G-d

It contends that since we cant stop, then were
not really responsible for our own sinful
behavior.
Were born that way!

142
The Whole Counsel Of G-d

Christians will often tell Messianics that There
are too many laws to keep anyways, its not even
possible to keep them all.

143
The Whole Counsel Of G-d

Were born into sin right?
Its not our fault
So its really out of our control.
Jesus even said wed all sin, every one of us

144
The Whole Counsel Of G-d

This sadly and inevitably leads to the next
conclusion
If its not possible to keep all of G-ds Laws,
then why should we even try.
Besides, we sin everyday

145
The Whole Counsel Of G-d

This is a Gentile way of looking at Sin.
It isnt Jewish by any means.
This Church Gospel of Grace is only part of the
message of Yeshua and His Talmideem (Disciples).
We need Messianic Judaism in order to give the
whole council of G-d.

146
The Whole Counsel Of G-d

What the Church offers today isnt the whole
counsel of G-d.
In Judaism we dont believe that G-d would tell
us to do something that was impossible to do.
What kind of Father would do such a thing?

147
The Whole Counsel Of G-d

In Scripture we see one being told, Go and sin
no more
Thus it IS possible to go and sin no more.
Why else do we need Messianic Judaism?
Because without it, the Great Commission can not
be fulfilled.

148
The Great Commission?

Without the Jewishness of the Gospel infused into
its teachings it is no longer a light unto the
world but becomes foolishness.

149
The Great Commission?

Many times that sinners call Christians fools
Im sorry, but its not for the Gospels sake.
Its often times because Christians are thinking
and acting foolishly.
When were acting foolishly, were not a light to
the world.

150
The Great Commission?

If the Church is NOT a light unto the world then
it cant possibly fulfill the Great Commission
no matter what theyre missions program might
promise.

151
The Great Commission?

Without the Jewishness of the Gospel all were
left with is off-target preaching which is open
to anti-Semitism and the neglect of the Salvation
of the Jews.

152
The Great Commission?

Messianic Judaism comes in an opposite spirit of
the Church concerning the Great Commission.
Messianic Judaism reveals that the power of the
Great Commission lies in preaching it to the Jew
first and then to the rest of the world.

153
The Great Commission?

Its said that Missions start at home!.
Id change that popular saying to Missions start
with the Jew and wherever he/she may be
Why else do we need Messianic Judaism?

154
Provoke Jews To Jealousy

Romans 11 teaches that in the end days, the
Church will make the Jew jealous.
If we think were in the End Days, then Id say
Christendom must be at a point of provoking the
Jew to jealousy right?

155
Provoke Jews To Jealousy

I dont know any Jews who are jealous yet.
What are they going to be jealous of?
Pagan Christmas trees
The worship of Ishtar (Easter)
Silly doctrines that we hold onto which are
un-Biblical.

156
Provoke Jews To Jealousy

Are they jealous of a power thats always talked
about in the Church but very rarely (if at all)
realized?
I dont see any power in todays Church myself.

157
Provoke Jews To Jealousy

I do see rapidly declining numbers.
I see a bunch of con men who are still making
millions everyday on TV deceiving people.
I see adultery, immorality, the breaking of the
Sabbath and other Commandments.
I see doctrines that promote lawlessness.

158
Provoke Jews To Jealousy

I dont see any Jews who are jealous of that.
Were in the End Days but theres not one jealous
Jew?

159
Provoke Jews To Jealousy

Id say there has to be some change in the local
Church.
A Church that changes to such a degree that it
doesnt have any spots or wrinkles.
A Body of Believers that Yeshua would come back
for.

160
Wheres The Beef?

I would submit to you, that a Congregation that
is Torah Observant is a Body Hed come to take
home
Im not saying that there arent people who
arent Saved in Churches out there

161
Wheres The Beef?

But I am saying that when the Last Days are upon
us, we wont be going to Church to find out whats
next.
Rather, the local Church will be going to their
local Messianic Synagogue to get the latest news.

162
Wheres The Beef?

And if theyre staying for lunch, they wont be
getting a ham sandwich.
And if they want to stand and read the
Scriptures, theyre going to have to put on a
Tallit or wear Tsit Tsits

163
Wheres The Beef?

They are going to have to conform or theyre
going to have to go back to their Church and be
left to their own doctrine, or deceit or
misinformation.

164
Wheres The Beef?

I want to read to you a typical confession that
Jews who accepted Jesus used to have to say.
This was actually written up by Christians word
for word.

165
Wheres The Beef?

I found it on a website that archives ancient
documents.
I was very angry when I read it.
Its a profession of faith that was world-wide
that Jews would have to recite publicly in order
to become a Christian.
Theyd have to say

166
I Gotta Say What???

I renounce all customs, rites, legalisms
unleavened breads and sacrifices of lambs of the
Hebrews, and all other feasts of the Hebrews,
sacrifices, prayers, aspirations, purifications,
sanctifications, and propitiations, and fasts,
and Sabbaths, and superstitions, and hymns, and
chants, and observances, and synagogues, and the
food, and drink of the Hebrews in one word I
renounce absolutely everything Jewish, every law,
rite and custom and if afterwards I wish to deny
and return to Jewish superstition or shall be
found eating with Jews or feasting with them or
secretly conversing and condemning the Christian
religion instead of openly confuting them and
condemning their vain faith then let the
trembling of Cain and leprosy cleave to me as
well as the legal punishments to which I
acknowledge myself liable. And may I be anathema
(a person detested or loathed ) in the world to
come and may my soul be set down with Satan and
the Devils.

167
I Gotta Say What???

So I wrote this up for Non-Messianics who wanted
to become members of Messianic Synagogues.
(Im NOT implementing this ?).

168
I Gotta Say What???

I will no longer eat of the abomination of
swines flesh. I will keep all of G-ds Laws that
pertain to me and will not cause G-ds Chosen
People to abandon the traditions of their
forefathers
I will recognize and keep all of G-ds appointed
times and feasts.
I will forsake the superstitions of the Church
like the Christmas tree and the worship of Ishtar
and other idols and saints.
I understand I am grafted into the main olive
tree which is the faith of the Hebrews and I will
remain humble and grateful to Yeshua for allowing
me any place at all.
Whenever I hear other Christians misusing words
such as legalism and Judaizing I will confute
them in their vain interpretations.
I will enjoin in Messianic prayers, aspirations,
purifications, sanctifications, and
propitiations, and fasts, and Sabbaths, and
hymns, and chants, and observances in their
Synagogues and thank G-d for such a blessing to
befall me.
Lastly, I repent for my non Torah Observance and
misappropriation of my tithes and offerings to a
Church who knew not the truth.
May I be accountable from this time forth that I
may sin no more.
Omain.

169
I Gotta Say What???

If the Church as a whole were to do this
every Jew in the world would take notice and
perhaps even be a little jealous.

170
I Gotta Say What???

The profession I read to you earlier that Jews
had to say in order to be part of The Body of
Christ dates back to the church of
Constantinople.
But many of these same feelings exist today in
most churches.
