Messianic Jews

The term Messianic Jew, is a very unfortunate term with great misleading aspects. This terms by its very nature seems to imply that there are 4 groupings of humans; Jew, Gentiles, Christians and Messianic Jew. This is not only a false assumption but a contradiction of scripture.

The Holy Bible clear distinguishes three groups of humans, Jews, Gentiles and Christians. Before the calling out of Abram, there was only one group - the sons of Adam. After the calling out of Abraham there were two groups; the called out ones and the Gentiles. Through Abraham, Isaac and the Jacob the called out ones became known as Israel or Jews.

The death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, ushered in a third group; Christians, who are neither Jews nor Gentiles Galatians 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek [gentile], slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus, but a whole new creation 2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come.

The term Messianic Jew is an effort to try and fill new wine, Jesus Christ, into the old wine skins, Jewish law, and this is a great tragedy. It further tries to divide the Household of God into two groups Jewish Christians and Gentile Christians - but this cannot be as the old title disappear with the Newness of Christ Jesus.

One question that one must ask: is there any practicing Jew who does not believe in the Messiah? - the answer is a resounding no, all practicing Jews believe in the Messiah but no Jews believe that Jesus is the messiah, once a Jew believe that Jesus is the Messiah, he or she moves from being a Jew to become a Christian.

Introduction

This blog will cover my take from the bible pespective. I believe that we should all prove what we hear and believe, holding on to only what is sound and rejecting all that is false. For us to know what is false from what is true, we can not use logic, tradition or emotion, but only that which is greater that these, and that is the word of God (the Holy Bible).

The bible is made up of 66 books pened by 40 different individuals, but authored by one God. Anything outside these 66 books is false and should be rejected as such. God is not an idiot, if he wanted the other, so called lost books of the bible, the would never have been lost to start with.

My aim is to encourage and challenge people to revisit what they believe, for not all that is taught and preached in the name of God is in line with the word of God.
