Many
religious web-sites publish
their materials to confirm
‘the kosher’ (appropriateness)
of their faith. You won’t
find in here but you still
will read our understanding
of some things.
We know that both Jews and non-Jews who live
in Israel are called by God to observe the
Torah and the eternal commandments. Does it
give us salvation? No! The faith in Yeshua,
the Son of God, the Anointed One who died to
redeem Israel and all nations of the world
gives us salvation. He paid the highest price
for us when he died for our sins and rose from
the dead. Therefore in the same way as first
believers we have a task to identify ourselves
with Him, with His life, with His death, with
His resurrection, and with His glory. We want
to keep our eyes on Him in good times as well
as in the time of difficulties. Then,
why do we try to observe the Torah? In order to observe
the Lord’s commandment. God didn’t give us
the Torah to save us but to give us direction
and to show the Messiah who gives resurrection
to every believer in all times. God gave us
the Torah so we could distinguish between good
and evil and to influence on physical and spiritual
world. The people of Israel called to this
purpose. Therefore God strongly punished Israel
when the people left the Lord.
We study the Scriptures – the story of our
nation and our inheritance. This way we can
understand deeply the meaning of the words
in the Scriptures. This attitude makes the
Torah and the Prophets alive. Even the New
Testament becomes more understandable. Our
theology in built on our desire to cognize
the Jewish point of the Scriptures with the
help of the Holy Spirit because we can do nothing
without Him. Do we have theological doctrines?
Yes, and many of these doctrines are like Christian
doctrines and many are different. What does
it mean? If we think about the words of Yeshua:
“By this all men will know that you are My
disciples, if you have love for one another”
we understand that these words doesn’t call
us to theological or gentlemen tolerance, but
love and respect of each other.
The fact is that any theology doesn’t give
us salvation. In fact theology sometimes misleads
people but the faith in the Messiah saves us.
We are called to this faith and other things
will be added unto us.
