WEEK OF DECEMBER 5-11

FROM RABBI ADRIAN

 

Merry Chr . . . Part One

This month roughly 2.6 billion Christians will be celebrating the birth of Christ. While many do not adhere to all the retail, secular aspects to Christmas, others simply do not care. Furthermore, most Christians, who have well-rounded understandings of Christmas, find it hard to part from the traditional observances of the celebration even though the Scriptures do not teach on such matters. Therefore, how are messianics supposed to reflect on such concerns? Before I can answer this fully, I need to bring to light the need to understand these challenges. 1) Messianic believers—Jew and non-Jew—are part of the greater body of Messiah; therefore, the need to connect and fellowship as iron sharpening iron for both the Messianic and Church communities is crucial if the mystery of the gospel is understood and carried out to its fulness. 2) the Church culture is simply a differing culture than first century and modern, messianic communities. For example, they worship on Sundays, they celebrate Lent, Easter, Christmas, All Saints Day, etc. And, 3) at times they are at odds with the Messianic community. This is due to the Greek concept called agn?stos (agnosticism), which means to be unknowing or ignorant. We are oftentimes called legalistic; even though, that term, properly understood, does not mean what they say it does.

Ignorance is not a derogative when its understood properly. I am not calling Christians ignorant as in being stupid, but unknowing about certain Biblical parameters to their faith. Now to be fair, when 1800 years of unremoved Jewish culture is taught by the masses of clergy that did not know Jews or its biblical, Jewish culture, then it is understood why the Church is not adhering to the Biblical feasts found in Leviticus 23. Therefore, at times, patience and teaching must first take place before repentance and outward practice on such matters.

On the other hand, we are a messianic congregation for a reason. Like the first-century believers, we are made up of both practicing Jews and non-Jews in the one faith and one baptism of Yeshua the Messiah. We walk according to biblical parameters not necessarily cultural concepts; albeit, we, too, find ourselves expressing our faith within a Jewish, cultural context. So, there can be some confusion as to what messianics are doing to many coming in from the Church world, as well as from the Jewish world. We will explore these matters in the next few weeks. So, stay tuned in and Chag Sameach!

Shalom shalom!

THE NEED FOR THE JEW - Rabbi Dr. Adrian A Bernal, Senior Rabbi

 Now close to 30 years of being in the Messianic movement, the Brit Chadashah continues to be disconnected to its Jewish culture. It seems to be getting worse. The need to see the Bible for what it is becomes more crucial than ever. The Jewish believe is not just an added culture, but a necessity for the Bride of Messiah. A believing community without the Jew is only half the bride. Both the Jew and Gentile are required to meet the Biblical definition of the Qahal (Church). The Jew needs the Gentile as much as the Gentile needs the Jew. Understanding these distinctions keeps the Qahal from meshuganah, biblical concepts.
