"Where Every Service Is A Celebration Of Yeshua The Messiah" Email: weinerm@attglobal.net

 

Judaism is not some abstract religion, it is the vine Paul spoke of in Romans 11. Our covenant of salvation is based upon the New Covenant which was given to Israel and Judah. Many Christians may be shocked to know that Jesus according to his natural or human nature was not a "Christian" according to his customs.  Of course we know that Jesus was God Incarnate.. the Son of God become flesh and dwelling among us.  But according to His human nature, He was definitely and beyond any doubt Jewish... He wore tassels on His garments according to the law of Moses, followed the customs of His people, very certainly celebrated Hanukkah, and the Bible he studied was the original testament that by no means is "Old", but merely "Older".  The word "Christian" to most Jewish people is synonymous with the idea of the destruction of the Jewish identity and its culture.  To become a "Christian" for a Jewish person more than likely means to completely renounce their heritage and customs and align themselves with an "anti-Jewish" religion.  It is recorded that many Jews on the way into certain Nazi extermination camps were greeted with the message "You killed our Lord, now we will kill you."   There is a great need today for an honest look at things done historically in the name of "Christianity" to the Jewish people and our heartfelt sorrow and apology for them as a result.  Church history has re-made Jesus into a Gentile savior and "Christianity" into an anti-Semitic Gentile religion. 

 

The truth is that the vine has never changed.. Gentile believers in Jesus the Messiah are merely grafted as a wild olive branch into a vine they had no part in creating.  Paul asks the question in Romans 11,  "Then how much more readily will the natural branches that fell away be grafted back into the vine??"   And that is the point... what should be a natural fulfillment of Judaism has become transformed into something that is feared, hated, and rejected outright by most Jewish people.  This is the message the Church needs to bring to the Jewish people today:  accepting Jesus as Messiah does not equate with renouncing your Jewish heritage... it is by all means the absolute fulfillment of everything that is Jewish!  This is also the message to the Church:  repent of your attitudes and callousness toward the Jewish people and Israel... you are just a wild branch grafted into an olive tree by grace... now go find out about the olive tree that supports you!

 

We have put together several lessons, messages, news articles and thoughts that we hope you will find informative, challenging and most of all encouraging concerning the Jewish people. We pray you will help us PRAY for the peace of Jerusalem. The evangelizing of the Jewish people is not an idea the Southern Baptist Convention came up with!  It is a Biblically based mandate to bring the gospel to the Jew first, then the Gentile second.  It is even more important as the coming of the Lord draws near. We must come together as ONE NEW MAN and that one new man is made up of Gentile and Jew. Thanks for stopping by...  we hope you enjoy not only the site but the individual messages. This page is dear to our heart because Israel is dear to our heart.  We have been in deep travail and intercession the past few months not only for Israel's return to God, but for the Lord to avenge the slaughter of her innocent throughout the ages by those committed to her destruction. She is going to come back to God in totality one day when she will say "Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord." God's word is true - He will bless those who bless Israel, and He will curse those who curse her.  Let us not be found fighting against the Lord Jesus, Yeshua, and our Messiah who is our coming Bridegroom, King, and Judge
