CHRISTIANITY IS JEWISH!!!

Now, I feel it is my responsibility, my call, to speak out and to do it loudly! So, let me reiterate:

"For Zion's sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest, until the righteousness thereof go forth as brightness, and the salvation thereof as a lamp that burneth." Isaiah 62:1

Our Lord Yeshua is a Jew. He dressed as a Jew - talked like a Jew. He was a Jewish Rabbi and will come back just as Jewish! Should we not all understand the ways of the Jewish people? I believe all should!

Christianity is Jewish!!! And "Messianic" is a better word yet. Christian was the name given to the Greek-Gentile believers in Acts 11:26, "Christianoi." In all likelihood the term was deprecatory, like "Moonies" in reference to the disciples of Sun Myung Moon. The Jewish believers were known as the Nazarenes, "Notzrim." (Acts 24:5)

We would not be saved today if it were not for the Jews. Yeshua said to the woman in Samaria, "For salvation is of the Jews." It was the Jewish people who gave to us all the things needed to receive Messiah as Savior and Lord. (Romans 9:4,5). Never forget the debt we owe to them. (Romans 15:26,27).

"Boast not against the branches. But, if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee. Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be graffed in. Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee. Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off. And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be graffed in: for God is able to graff them in again...For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery (SOD, "deeper meaning"), lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in." Romans 11:18-25 (emphasis mine)

Brothers and sisters of the faith, Yeshua taught true Biblical Judaism -- He did not start a new religion. Christianity is Jewish!!!

So, What do you think?
