1 | Early church 100 percent Jewish | John 1:11 | kalos | 176518 | ||
While the earliest church may have been 100 percent Jewish, the Jewish people NEVER WERE 100 percent Christian. To put it another way, there never was a time when ALL the Jewish people were believers in Jesus as the Messiah. You write: "why and how did that change to the Jews not accepting Christ as the Messiah now?" Christ and Messiah mean EXACTLY the same thing. Christ is the Greek work for Messiah and Messiah is the Hebrew word for Christ. In other words, as you worded it, you're asking: Why and how did that change to the Jews not accepting Christ as Christ? or Why and how did that change to the Jews not accepting the Messiah as the Messiah? |

There are still lots of Jewish believers in the messiah, Yah'shua. Yet the rabbinical system of denial of belief in Yah'shua has blinded many, many more. Please don't think that all of christianity is saved either. Many here are also deceived. Read the parable in Luke 6:46-49. Also read Matt 13-29 It is sobering to realize that lots of people think they are on the right path, but indeed aren't. Figure out who the grevious wolves are and learn to avoid their teachings |

Face: Yes, there are many Jewish people who have received Yeshua as their Messiah. I'm not sure what you mean when you say all of Christianity is not saved. I guess it depends on how one defines “Christianity”. One thing I do know is, as the old spiritual says, "Everybody talkin' 'bout heaven aint goin' there." Not all who profess to be Christians are Christians. I have a question for you. What would you say to a person if they asked you, "What can we do to learn to recognize 'wolves'?" What would be your advice? Specifically, what do we need to do or learn to be able to recognize false doctrine? Grace to you, John |

John, the only way I know to recognise the wolves is to immerse myself in Scripture. I try to learn from the noble Bereans who searched the Scripture to see what Paul was teaching as truth. I then realized that the Scriptures Paul referred to were what churches today call 'Old Testament'. Yes, I know they are old, yet totally relevant. From Paul's every reference to Scripture, I see nothing but respect from Paul towards these Scriptures, and believe he taught nothing against them. Churchianity, on the other hand, I have my doubts..... |
