Hi, I am new to JFJ and hope to learn better ways to communicate with my Jewish friends, who do not believe in Jeshua.
my background then question:
Though I am a Gentile, I enjoyed years ago attending synagogues, as a paid singer participating with cantors, singing in High Holy days, being in Kosher kitchens even, and making Jewish friends I hold dear to this day.
Also, because I am a believer (My Saviour is a Jew and my High priest, still making intercession in my behalf). Lately, my Jewish studies of what Jeshua came to fulfill, not destroy, enriches my faith and deepens my understanding of scriptures in both covenants. Thanks in advance, for your help and input from JFJ perspectives.
Jeshua gave the 2 greatest commandments, loving G-d and loving our neighbor as our self. Some Messianic JFJ may even include these scriptures in their Mezuzahs posted on their doors and dormrooms (though without the Rabbi's inspections and participation in the JFJ installation prayers, of course).
Most gentiles probably don't notice or care about Mezuzahs, but here's my Question:
Since I know Yeshua "moved death" for me and see value in posting, "as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord" on my doors, I am a Gentile. I would like to install Mezuzahs on the front and back doors of my home.
The scriptures I have to install in my Mezuzahs, were the ones required and the commandment Jeshua summarized, written in Hebrew, by a soffer. They add the Messianic "fish" symbols on the outside of the Mezzuzahs I have. They include Jeshua "greatest commandments" in Hebrew too.
Jews during the time of David saw their Mezuzahs constantly reminding them of G-ds Love and faithfulness (and because Mezuzahs were commanded). One or two Jerusalem Gates, such as the Dung Gate, today still have Mezuzahs.
Though it Jeshua's blood on the passover door posts of my heart, would it offend Jews, coming to my home, if I install small Mezuzahs to declare my faith (and reminder to me) claiming Jeshua as a my Redeemer or would it offend them?
thanks for your feedback, Michael
