There is an explosion of growth among Torah communities of people denying Messiah.
While I have not listened to the teachings of why people are believing this, I’m guessing this stems from one of two things:
1. Judaism
2. Building doctrine and beliefs on select samples of scripture, as opposed to basing doctrine and beliefs upon all of scripture.
I’m going to keep this very short.
Matthew 10:32-36
32 “Therefore whoever acknowledges Me before men, I will also acknowledge him before My Father who is in heaven. 33 But whoever denies Me before men, I will also deny him before My Father who is in heaven.
34 “Do not think that I came to bring shalom on the earth; I did not come to bring shalom, but a sword. 35 For I have come to set a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; 36 and a man’s enemies will be the members of his household.
Revelation 14:12 tells us who will be in the Kingdom:
Here is the patience of the saints; here are those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Messiah.
This is not difficult, my friends.
There is but one way…
John 14:6-10
6 Yeshua said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life! No one comes to the Father except through Me. 7 If you have come to know Me, you will know My Father also. From now on, you do know Him and have seen Him.”
8 Philip said to Him, “Master, show us the Father, and it is enough for us.”
9 Yeshua said to him, “Have I been with you for so long a time, and you haven’t come to know Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? 10 Don’t you believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in Me? The words I say to you, I do not speak on My own; but the Father dwelling in Me does His works.
In the same way that we can take bits and pieces of Paul’s writings and make doctrine that says the commands of Yahuah are no longer applicable, people are taking bits and pieces of scripture to state that Yeshua Messiah is not deity. We are warned against making both of these mistakes.
Do not fall for these false teachings, as the stakes are extremely high.
