Cahn is a Messianic Jew, and he embraces his status and station as a Jew. The Jews are still God's chosen and special people, unless you have bought onto the false and destructive teaching of Replacement Theology.
We are living in the time of Gentiles.
Consider Romans 11: 17-26
"17 If some of the branches have been broken off, and you, though a wild olive shoot, have been grafted in among the others and now share in the nourishing sap from the olive root, 18 do not consider yourself to be superior to those other branches. If you do, consider this: You do not support the root, but the root supports you. 19 You will say then, “Branches were broken off so that I could be grafted in.” 20 Granted. But they were broken off because of unbelief, and you stand by faith. Do not be arrogant, but tremble. 21 For if God did not spare the natural branches, he will not spare you either. 22 Consider therefore the kindness and sternness of God: sternness to those who fell, but kindness to you, provided that you continue in his kindness. Otherwise, you also will be cut off. 23 And if they do not persist in unbelief, they will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again. 24 After all, if you were cut out of an olive tree that is wild by nature, and contrary to nature were grafted into a cultivated olive tree, how much more readily will these, the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree! 25 I do not want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers and sisters, so that you may not be conceited: Israel has experienced a hardening in part until the full number of the Gentiles has come in, 26 and in this way all Israel will be saved."
Those of us who are Gentiles, and have been grafted on the branch through the redeeming power of Christ are now part of God's family. But just because the Jews for the most part have rejected Christ as the Messiah does not mean God is finished with His chosen, nor does it mean that once the time of Gentiles is fulfilled He will not turn His attention back to Israel. In fact, that is what happens during Revelation.
Jesus was also called "Rabbi", and he was. Teacher. Cahn is right to embrace who he is, and who God made him. But, the main difference with Cahn is he accepts Christ as the Messiah, the only way to avoid Hell, and be saved.
There are other "cults" as it were that preach a "new Jewishness" and other nonsense. These are to be avoided. Cahn is not part of that movement. He is believer in Yeshua.
Thanks for the clarification. I know about those cults & was afraid that he was one of them.
