Provocation to Jealousy

Church, Judaism and Torah by 
Bruce Booker

There has been a great debate and dissention in the Messianic Movement for quite some time now. It has to do with non-Jewish believers embracing the Torah. Many Jewish believers in the Movement are opposed to Gentile observance of Torah, calling the Torah a “Jewish Identifier.” But are they right in saying this? Perhaps the opposition is due to something else and these Torah-observing non-Jewish believers are doing something else to provoke such a reaction from their Jewish counterparts? Perhaps this is evidence of something that the non-Jewish believers in Yeshua should be doing: that is “provoking the Jews to jealousy.”

Nazarene Judaism Manifesto

Nazarene Judaism by 
James Scott Trimm

“Judaism or Christianity… has used the term “Messianic Judaism” as its appropriate designation.
(Jewish Roots; 1986 edition, p. viii)

The original followers of Yeshua were a sect of Judaism known as “Nazarenes” (as we read in Acts 24:5).

The term “Messianic Judaism” was invented in the late 60’s and it is a human invention. David Stern writes in his Messianic Jewish Manifesto.”

Aleph-Tav Herald of Messiah

Aleph Tav in Torah by 
Dennis Northington

The Messianic Aleph/Tav ?? Scriptures (MATS) was written to be a Study Bible and is the most unique rendition of the Tanakh* (Old Testament) Bible of its kind in the world. Unequivocally the greatest symbol in biblical history since it was revealed by the Apostle John is the Aleph/Tav ?? Character Symbol. It is the HOLY GRAIL OF THE SCRIPTURES and the reason is because it unlocks the mystery to the greatest treasures man can ever hope to comprehend from the Scriptures.

Digging up Hebrew Roots

Is this Faith Once Delivered? by 
Ronald Dart & Pam Dewey

Digging up Hebrew Roots;There is a growing movement of non-Jewish Christians who are immersing themselves in the customs, practices, and beliefs of Judaism. This trend is no longer an obscure development at the fringe of the religious landscape. Men, such as former Baptists and Methodists, have taken Jewish names, the title of “Rabbi,” and started synagogues thinking that true Christianity has its roots firmly in first century Judaism. But does it? When Christians become disillusioned with this or that church, they go abroad searching for meaning to replace what they lost. We pass many dead-end byways in life.

Jewish Roots of Christianity

Roots of Christianity by 
Jefferey Harrison

Learn (#1) how Christianity rejected the Jews, Jewish Christians, and its own Jewish roots, (#2) how this rejection led it far away from God’s plan and purpose, and (#3) how God is pointing the way back
home in our generation. We have to look back into the history of Christianity, but not the kind of Church history most of us are familiar with. There is a dark side to Church history that most people know nothing about: a history of hatred, persecution, and rejection of the Jews, of Jewish Christians,
and of Christianity’s Jewish roots. This is a hidden history that every Christian needs to know. And God has chosen this generation to hear this message and to act on it.

Judaism Revelation of Moses or Religion of Man?

Judaism Customs by 
Philip Neal

This book is different. It pulls no punches, but it is fair. The historic origins of the religion are examined along with key examples of its modern-day application. How and why did Judaism develop? What were the major influences? What fundamental ideas and circumstances led to the origin and advancement of the so-called oral law and the Jews subsequent abandonment of the Scriptures as the sole authority in human affairs?

Is Judaism the Religion of Moses?

Early Church Roots by 
Ernest Martinh

Judaism was not one unified organization. Actually, there were many religious sects comprising it. And, even within some of these major sects there were many “splinter” groups which had their own ideas and beliefs. In many respects, the Judaism of Christ’s time was not unlike our own world. We have many competitive sects representing “Christianity.” So likewise, the Jews had their divisions, differing sects representing “Judaism.”
