He can’t be much of a scholar if he doesn’t even understand the words of God about who the Messiah is.

There are 6 million Jews living in Israel. You know how many accept that Yeshua is Messiah? Maybe 20K... Nehemiah Gordon is a Karaite Jew, but still well respected as a Hebrew/Jewish bible scholar by everyone, regardless of his personal beliefs.

He’s such a scholar and understands the Hebrew language so well that he doesn’t understand God’s word when it identifies the Messiah. He’s as blind to the words of God as you are. The blind leading the blind as they say.

Yeah, that’s what he claims but they don’t like him much.

We, the undersigned practitioners of Karaite Judaism, are very concerned about Nehemia Gordon's work involving Messianic Christianity.

“We are also concerned about the ever growing reaction on part of Christians who, due to the activities of Messianic teachers like Michael Rood, various Hebrew-roots preachers and our own Karaite Jew Nehemia Gordon, develop misunderstandings regarding the Israelite God, religion and people in the form of a new religion called, Messianic Karaism.”

“Nehemia, take it from the Karaites, your brethren: this is doing more harm than good. We don't care about how your works are received by pastors, rabbis and Christians. We don't care about 'fantastic reviews.' We take no stock in them. Their comments are meaningless to us. Our eyes are on you and the effects your actions are having. Many of us are students of yours. We, the undersigned, have a responsibility to retain the integrity and pride of Karaism and Torah”

That's fine and Gordon as a Karaite Jew is no doubt an authority on Torah. However as a Karaite Jew he is no authority on the NT as given his beliefs he is biased as in denying Yeshua as Messiah.
