-comment by a Gentile Christian -

"Our Messianic brothers and sisters sometimes face painful ridicule and threats for their beliefs. Not by all...but in some communities...some have endured this abuse.

We need to keep them in our prayers and that God will give them strength and courage to continue to reach others for the gospel.

They are an inspiration to me. '

James 3:11 Does a spring send out from the same opening fresh and bitter water?
James 3:12 Can a fig tree, my brothers, yield olives, or a vine figs?
Thus no spring yields both salt water and fresh water.

James 1:8
A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.


Any antisemitic tendencies cannot be glossed over by evangelistic love.
They must first be rooted out and then replaced with Christ's true love.
Human beings have a great capacity for self deception - which is precisely what sin brings. It is a-MAZ-ing how we can become like that person ... only true repentance can cure this malady. A-MAZ-ing how one can go for two full years after being reproved for antisemitic tendencies and still subtley persist in them.

Why Do You Say Yeshua?

by leader in the Messianic Jewish movement

Several years ago, a meeting took place between Jewish and Evangelical theologians to address common concerns and discuss similarities and differences. At one point in the meetings, in the midst of all the dialogue, one Evangelical posed this question point blank: "Why don't you Jews just accept Jesus as your savior."

Jewish believers must pray with tears for all of our unsaved dear Arabic/Muslim cousins ... that they be not stumbled by those who only wear a cross or magen David around their necks, rather than in their hearts.  

We live in an age of 'knockoffs' and in these last days it will be no different with those who are professors and not possessors.

Matthew 7:16
Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?

Matthew 13:30
Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.

Genesis 4:9, "Am I my brother's keeper?"

And some Jewish people don't have anti-goyim tendecies? God help some of the Jewish Christian 'church' to really see just how much persecution gentile believers endure.
