Hebrew Roots/Hebraic Roots/Messianic Movements

Please note: Research into the Hebrew Roots & Messianic movements constitutes research into Judaism as well as the occult. We fully respect each persons right to believe or utilize what resources they choose. We however, see a clear distinction in believing the Messiah has come versus utilizing resources which still await His coming. That is how and why we must evaluate all to Christ and the New Testament as well as the Tenach. We do not wish to edit or criticize Judaism, but recognize it as distinct from our Christian beliefs, just as many in Judaism also see a distinction and separateness from our beliefs, and we jointly have mutual respect for our differences and each other.

  Basic Doctrinal Issues

Myth. Christians don't know that Jesus was Jewish

Myth. We need to go back to OUR Jewish Roots
Myth. Christians are pagan and are lost unless they turn to Hebrew roots...
Myth. It is impossible to understand the Bible unless one uses a "Hebraic" mindset. Christians have a Greek mindset or western gentile mindset and therefore can't understand the true meaning of the Bible.
Myth. The church has "lost its roots for the last 2000 years"...
Myth. It is a Renewed Covenant, not a New Covenant. It is a Renewed Covenant not a New Testament.
Myth The New Covenant is not here yet
Myth. False prophets merely make mistakes because they are human, and the passages referring to them don't apply, therefore they can continue in leadership and as prophets, regardless of how often they predict and are proven wrong.
Myth. Jesus was killed on an execution stake, and not a cross.
Myth. Christians don't understand the 'three days and three nights' ...

  Under the Law
Myth. The bride of Messiah will only be those who are Torah obedient, meaning keeping the law of Moses (Sinai covenant) and/or have the correct "Hebraic" Name for God and "Yahshua".
Myth. Christians worship an antinomian or lawless  Jesus, but He was Torah observant, and we are to follow His example of that.
Myth: Christians are antinomians because they don't keep the Sabbath on Saturday and therefore violate Torah.
     Myth. We need to keep the Sabbath, as part of the commandments, and to not do so means we are lawless or "anti-nomian".
Myth. We are under the law of Torah or Law of Moses, because Jesus said in Matthew 5:17-19 that He didn't come to destroy the law and heaven and earth haven't passed away, therefore we must follow it over pagan Christian teachings.
       Did Jesus bring a New Torah with the New Covenant?
Myth. The Vision of the Sheet which Peter had, found in Acts 10, refers strictly to people, and does not include food, like Christians believe. We are to keep kosher, and not eat certain foods because that violates Torah.
Myth Acts 15 tells us that we are to learn and keep the law of Moses and that Gentiles who convert can start with just the basic list, but should become fully obedient to the law over time as they grow spiritually.
Myth. The "613" (rabbinical count) were given to Moses. (along with the Torah)
Myth. Paul was Torah observant
Myth. Jesus wore a tallit with the fringe knots representing the 613 commandments. Jesus wore a prayer shawl (tallit) and so should we
Myth. Jesus wore a kippah and so should we
Myth. Paul taught to tithe to the Levites which today would be to 'Torah' teachers.
Myth: Tithing is part of New Testament doctrine
Myth. We need to keep all the Biblical feasts or Jewish celebrations and eat kosher food in order to be Torah observant (keep the law) and obedient and show we belong to God.

 

Sacrifices, Feasts, Celebrations

Myth. Many in Hebrew Roots and kabbalah make various claims regarding the concept that Jesus did not fulfill the "Torah" requirements of being the "Passover Lamb."
Myth. Paul sacrificed animals at the temple even after he became an apostle.
Myth  It pleases Yahuah (God) or Yahweh or some other imagined sacred name, and is being obedient to Yeshua (most use Yahshua or similar)  to have sacrifices made, including sacrificing a passover lamb.
Myth. Jesus celebrated the passover seder as it is celebrated today.
Myth.  Jesus celebrated Hannukah not Christmas, and we should be celebrating Channukah instead of pagan Christmas.
Myth. Christians believe Christmas is Jesus' birthday.
Myth.  A 3rd temple and the sacrificial system must be reinstituted and Yeshua will be making the sacrifices
Myth. We need to celebrate the Feast of Trumpets-Yom Teruah-Rosh Hashana, as it ties into The Rapture and return of Christ. 
   
  Names For God & Jesus
Myth. The name Jesus is the same as zeus or some female pagan deity, or the abomination of desolation; means pig, horse or other unflattering definitions. ??? is the true name or sacred name...
  Myth. YAHshua is the "true" name of Jesus.
 

Myth. There were no 'J's in Hebrew so His name could not be Jesus

  Scriptures
