My name is Moshe.  I am a converted Jew.  Often times I am also called a Messianic Jew or a completed Jew.  I converted from Rabbinical Judaism to Biblical Judaism by the grace of the Lord.  I did not stop being a Jew.  I retain my Jewishness.   I cannot help but clarify one thing and that is the personal application of the term Messianic Jew to myself.  I almost hesitate calling myself a Messianic due to the direction in which the group at large is and has been headed.  But, just because the cults call themselves by the name of "Christian" does not negate the true Christians out there.  So, I like to think of myself as a true Messianic Jew.  I strive to follow the instructions in the book of Ephesians.  It is very clear concerning the instruction to eliminate the wall of separation that once stood between Jew and Gentile. It is essential that there be no division for we are all one in the Messiah. What is wrong with the majority of Messianics?  What divisions are they causing? One issue which comes to mind is the issue of keeping kosher, that is, urging men and women to keep dietary Laws. There is no reason for this division!  It is also apparant that more and more Messianic Jews are denying the compound unity within the nature of God.  Apparently, they have missed out on the term echad and how it defines the multi-personal God.  When all is said and done It appears they have found the veil that the Lord tore down from top to bottom and they are stitching it back up with thread called Law.   

Having been born from above I stopped trusting in the Rabbis and their words and now look to the words of the Messiah through the Scriptures. It is my purpose to do what I have been called to do; contend earnestly for the faith once for all delivered to the saints! In love of course ;)

What can I say with little words? Nothing! I am a Jew.  We Jews have been stereotyped as having the gift of gab, money and intelligence.  In my case one out of three isn't bad.  I got the gift of gab.  I have much to say and not enough time to say it. To warn others in the body about the apostasy within the evangelical church today is neither popular nor is it practiced by evangelicals.  Exposing evil men posing as protestants who are Roman Catholic in their heart.  The blog I write shall name dangerous men both dead and living, such as C.S. Lewis and Douglas Wilson.  This also includes men who graduated from Roman Catholic Seminary.  Men like Norman Geisler who uses Roman Catholic apologetics/Pagan philosophical arguments to make a case for God.  Even men like R.C. Sproul shall be named as an example of men who advance natural theology.  He has gone on record claiming that he begins with man. He constantly pushes the Aquinas arguments upon naive and ignorant Protestants to use as their apologetical method.  We must not borrow from Rome!  They are under a divine curse and it is arrogant and dangerous to support anything or anyone from Rome.  Romans 16 is very clear that we are to have nothing to do with those who bring contrary doctrine to us.  Even if it is a so-called Protestant who uses under the radar apologetics.  It is quite sad that there will be no Thomas Aquinas in heaven yet men who claim to be one of us will use his material.  Where do we draw the line?  Can we not also use Mormon material or material from the JW's?  After all, they too are under the anathema of God and we should be consistent Mr. Sproul and Mr. Geisler, et al. 

No one wants to hear negative remarks about their heros, but we are told "blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the ungodly."  If these men are advancing Roman Catholic apologetics which I will argue is Pagan Greek philosophy, then they need, they must be exposed and held accountable to the body of Messiah! And those who use their materials must also be called upon to repent if they are leading their sheep to bad theology.  I get tired of hearing the phrase "we dont want to throw the baby out with the bath water". Numbskulls!  The baby is the gospel and if the gospel is tainted in any way the baby must be discarded.  There is no negotiations made with those who are heretics or those who advance heretical thelogy. We do not seek common ground and build a relationship upon that. Where do we read of the Messiah negotiating with the Pharisees?  did they have "some" truth?
Of course.  They believed in the resurrection.  Hey, the Messiah could have used that as a common ground!  "Anyone who wants to learn about the resurrection, come visit the Pharisees. Don't worry about the other issues that are contradictory, i.e. the just shall live by failth, focus in on what we have in common."  Funny, when I read Matthew 23 I do not read that mentality.  I read "Woe to you"!  And, if you are considering pointing others who are negotiating with Rome or borrowing from Roman Catholic sources, I will tell you "Woe to you"!  You are a hypocrite and are not following in the path which the Master told us to follow in.  He DID NOT play well with those who brought false doctrine.  The majority of criticisms will be in my blog and not here.

Therefore, it is my desire to call the church back to the faith of the patriarchs and the prophets which had led them straight to the promised Messiah.  Judaizing Christianity is what i like to call it.   No, that does not mean or insinuate a return to the Law.  The message from the cross; "it is finished/paid in full."  The work was done by the lamb of God who took away the sins of the world and died in the place of many.  It is by grace we have been saved.  Having BEEN justified we have peace with God through the Messiah.  It means a return to the teachings of the Scriptures as a whole. 

There is a common misunderstanding amongst Gentiles that the Jews have a special ability when it comes to reading and interpreting the Scriptures. That is, the Jews have a special talent that is not given to a Gentile.  I’ll say that is true.  They do have the ability and talent to screw up what God has spoken.  Many Gentiles are talked down to by religious Jews and even Messianic Jews.  What can a Gentile say when a Jew starts reciting passages in Hebrew? How can the Gentile spar with a Hebrew speaking Jew?  Let me answer it like this.  Don’t sweat the small stuff! That’s right.  They can speak Hebrew until pigs fly.  What matters is the understanding of the passage they just read. Why should a Gentile feel insignificant?  Think of it this way; if they were given a specific time line prophecy from the book of Daniel that told them the day of the Messiah’s arrival and they couldn’t get that one right, why should we believe they can get it or others right 2000 years later?  Most of us have dealt with them over the passages in Isaiah. They can read Isaiah 52 and 53 until they are blue in the face (by inserting Israel into the passage) and walk away with a translation that makes no sense at all. I’m laughing as I write this thinking how Isaiah says there was no deceit in his mouth;

Isaiah 53:9 He was given a grave among the wicked; in his death he was with a rich man. Although he had done no violence and had said nothing deceptive,

In other words, there was nothing to accuse him of because he had done no wrong! The Hebrew word chamas?  He had done no violence.  What about the Jews? Jews have never done violence? The religious Jew argues, “That passage describes the Nation of Israel.”                                                                                     SAY WHAT?                                                                           Isaiah 6 tells us the very opposite.            
                                                                                             Isaiah 6:5 Then I said, "Woe to me! I [too] am doomed!- because I, a man with unclean lips, living among a people with unclean lips, have seen with my own eyes the King, ADONAI-Tzva'ot!"

Isaiah says that he himself is a man with polluted, unclean, impure and defiled lips and not only that, Isaiah lives among a people who share the same defilement.  The religious Jew wants you to believe the Nation of Israel will die for the Nation of Israel, but Isaiah says it aint goina happen that way.   Isaiah 53:10 yet it pleased ADONAI to crush him with illness, to see if he would present himself as a guilt offering. If he does, he will see his offspring; and he will prolong his days; and at his hand ADONAI's desire will be accomplished. After this ordeal, he will see satisfaction. "By his knowing [pain and sacrifice], my righteous servant makes many righteous; it is for their sins that he suffers. Therefore I will assign him a share with the great, he will divide the spoil with the mighty, for having exposed himself to death and being counted among the sinners, while actually bearing the sin of many and interceding for the offenders."   So the religious Jew wants you to believe the Nation of Israel will suffer for his sins, the Nation of Israel will bear the sins of many and then intercede for the offenders?  Poppycock and boulderdash! 

 Let us switch gears to the here and now. Why are so many Gentiles lost in a "religious" atmosphere we call the "evangelical" church?  One word;  Rome!  For too long Rome has twisted the faith, once for all delevered to the saints and has deceived billions.  Even while the Reformation took place Rome continued to retrieve men and women by sword and fear with her tentacles of death toward men and women who sought to break free from Romes clutches.  As a result, early on,  Rome infiltrated the church through a man named James Hermonson, aka, Jacob Arminius,   He wasn't settled with the doctrines resurrected by the reformers and sought a return half way back to Rome which resulted in a system known as Arminianism.   Arminius sided with Rome on the issue of freewill.  After all, Rome had stated that all Roman Catholics must embrace this doctrine originating from pagan Greek philosophers.   Therefore, Rome placed a divine curse on all who rejected this doctrine.  Please keep in mind, this "freewill" teaching was never known by the patriarchs or the apostles, nor the Messiah himself.   I recall the words of the Messiah when the question was asked; who then can be saved if even the rich would have problems entering the kingdom of heaven?  Messiah stated, "what is impossible with man is possible with God."       

It is my opinion that Arminius stuck his tail between his legs and ran back (doctrinally) to meet Rome halfway to ensure he was not murdered by Rome as a heretic, resulting in his face on the back of a milk carton.   But history tells us that he began to read the so-called "early church fathers and agreed with their views.  where did he go wrong?  He went to men and not Scripure.   As a response to the teachings of Arminius, godly men from different parts of the globe held a council and argued over his teachings, (his five points) in light of the Scriptures.  There is no five points of Calvinism.  Calvin had been dead for a while.  This meeting where these doctrines were evaluated in the light of the Scriptures was known as the Synod of Dort.  As a result of their findings, Arminius and his theology were ruled as heresy.  How did the church respond?  Many ignored this verdict and have held onto the heresies.    Today, his heresies are alive and well.  Men have no regard for the providence of God and ignored the verdict of the Synod toward this mans teachings .  Instead, in their immaturity, they are too obsessed and hostile with the man named John Calvin and his teachings.  They are  obsessed with the words "predestiniation" and "election" as if they were created by Calvin. This misunderstanding is what I call knucklehead thinking.  They hate Calvin so much, that they are willing to uphold the heresies of Arminius.

Nevertheless, we are now seeing a return to Rome.  Not a subtle return by the efforts of Roman Catholics which has been happening for the last four hundred years, but a very blatant return headed by so called Christians.  Men like Chuck Colson and J.I. Packer and Bill Bright who signed a document on our behalf.   They DO NOT represent me and a hand full of others who remain loyal to King Messiah.  They have demonstrated their loyalty is to Rome.

We must no let them continue their campaign to bring protestants and catholics together.  We must stand opposed to their efforts to betray the faith.  Colson continues writing books, trying to unite us and hand us over to a false organization run by a self disignated representative claiming the title "Vicar of Christ."   If he is a representative for my Messiah then I am a monkeys uncle.  He is nothing more than a false prophet, a wolf in sheeps clothing.

It is because of Rome that many Jews have hated have failed to understand the Messiah and his gospel.  It is due to the false claims of Rome, the wars and blood spilled in the name of their Christ, Calling the Jews "Christ killers."  The Messiah gave them no authority to kill in His name.  On the contrary, he stated His kingdom is not of this world.  Apparently, the Pope never read the Scriptures that those who live by the sword shall die by the sword.  Indeed, when the Messiah returns, Rome shall give an account to the real Messiah for the innocent blood they have shed and deception they have used to win false converts.
