I agree. I just returned from a trip to Israel, and I tell ya, those I spoke to are not counting themselves out. They know what the Scriptures say, and that they are the focal point during the end of days events.

It seems that some Christians do not realize that the Hebrew Scriptures are the same as our "Old Testament" ones. The Scripture is VERY clear regarding Israel and there is no replacement.

It is also silly when Christians demand that Jews "convert." This is so ridiculous. When an Israelite comes to see and know (through the Holy Spirit enlightening their eyes, removing the veil) that Yahshua (Jesus) is their promised Savior (Messiah ben Yoseph), they are complete...having both pieces of the mystery. The Holy Scriptures (the Torah) is the written word, and Messiah Yahshua is the living word. When a person has both of them, then they are complete.

Once Christians embrace our Hebrew roots and embrace the Torah, then we will have a veil removed from our eyes and have both pieces of the mystery as well. This is what is making us into one new man, neither male or female, neither Jew or Greek, neither slave or free.

Well put.

Though I have no problem encouraging Jews to become Messianic Believers. That’s to be encouraged, commended . . . with wisdom.

The Acts 15 Council of Jerusalem account is interesting to me. I get the sense that Jewish Christians and Gentile Christians have Christian unity but, Jewish Christians do still observe the feasts, Sabbaths and traditions, whereas Gentile Christians have liberty in these areas. We do have unity in love however. I may be in error on this, or have a limited understanding.
