- RA=>The "Messianic Jews" are a more subtle group taking on
- RA=>a more outwardly Jewish appearance to hide their acceptance
- RA=>of the tenets of Christianity. At the core, they're not
- RA=>much different from Jews for Jesus.
-
- We are brothers in the Lord thats for sure Robert, but you are missing the
- point altogether. We are Jews period. You don't wish to deal with that, we
- never said we did not accept the biblical tenents of Christianity, and every
- one, Jew or gentile knows well before they come to our conferences or Shules
- that we in fact are JEWS who believe YESHUA is the Messiah, and that we
- BELIEVE in Biblical Holidays in stead of Church holidays that have their
- roots in paganisn...
-
- We try to hide nothing. You are a litary deceitful person. We do not make
- any innuendos or any statements that we are even a part of Rabbinic Judaism.
- And we are quick to state that Rabbinic Judaism is only one sect of Judaism,
- not the only sect. Just to name a few: Karaites, Messianic Jews, Hasidim,
- etc. All are legitimate sects of Biblical Judaism...
-
- RA=>For example, the founder of the "Union of Messianic Jewish
- RA=>Congregations" and pastor of a Rockville, Maryland "Messianic
- RA=>Jewish [sic]" congregation is an ordained Presbyterian minister
- RA=>and was born of a Jewish father and a gentile mother.
-
- Since you are speaking about Dan Juster, i will reply, since he is a
- personal friend of mine, and i served in executive capacity on the board of
- the Union of Messianic Jewish Congregations.
-
- Your information is incorrect and false, and you would do well to get your
- facts straight before you make accusations.
-
- The UMJC was created by 20 Messianic Jewish Congregations independent of Dan
- Juster. Dan was called to be the first president by the Union of the
- organization. Soon after my shule joined the movement, and i became the
- executive secretary of the Movement..
-
- You are right Dan Juster's father is Jewish, and according to Torah, the
- seed of promise is passed via Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to their male seed
- forever, and the rite called Bris, or circumcision is the seal of the
- everlasting covenant between G-d and Israel.
-
- Since Dan is not a part of Rabbinic Judaism, and since Rabbinic Judaism is
- false in its teaching that the covenant proceeds via a Jewish mother thereby
- violating the covenant of Moses, and Abraham...
-
- Dan is more Jewish than those in Rabbinic Judaism who do not have a Jewish
- Father. However in Messianic Judaism, both lineage from Father and Mother
- are acceptable, as well as it is in Reformed Rabbinic Judaism..
-
- RA=>unless he converted to Judaism, he's still a gentile.] Other
- RA=>movement leaders have ties to the Assemblies of God church,
- RA=>and even the Jews for Jesus movement.
-
- NOPE wrong again Robert. According to Torah, Dan is very much Jewish and a
- direct descendant of Abraham... No need to convert to Rabbinic Judaism which
- is incorrect in its lineage....
-
- Since you mentioned the AOG church, it would be proper for me to respond
- here. Since the AOG is not a denomination but a movement, there are many
- folks from many different backgrounds. Each Church and or congregation is
- independent and Sovereign, but gather with the parent organization for World
- evangelism... NO secret there either Robert.... However, the majority of MJ
- congregations are non affiliated with anyone but the UMJC which itself is an
- independent umbrella organization, with its members still maintaining their
- independence and sovereignty...
-
- RA=>nonsense. As former "Messianic" Larry Levey writes:
- RA=> "... When one looks beyond the seemingly self-assured
- RA=>salesman's
-
- Now that you mentioned Jews for Judaism, and Larry Levey who came, saw, and
- retreated. Was never an MJ, but a deceptive person, who could cause no
- strife by attempting to infiltrate the movement..
- The Jews for Judaism is also very deceptive, in that though they know full
- well the apologetics involved with the New Covenant, they still attempt to
- teach these false assumptions as you have, knowing full well they are
- reconcilable, but don't tell their unwary MJ beginner that...
-
-
- So now that you have been thoroughly debunked, care to continue? (grin)
