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. |

go back to OUR Jewish Roots |
Sept 18, 2009 |
|
Myth.
Christians are pagan and are lost unless they turn to
Hebrew roots... |
Sept 18, 2009 |
|
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. |
Sept 18, 2009 |
|
Myth.
The
church has "lost its roots for the last 2000 years"...
|
Sept 18, 2009 |
|
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. |
Sept 18, 2009 |
|
Myth. Jesus was killed on an execution stake, and not a cross. |
Sept 18, 2009 |

|
Myth:
Hebrew Idioms,
Hebraic Idioms, Hebrew
Mindset, and a Hebraic Mindset are
Necessary for Understanding the Scriptures
|
Feb 24, 2010 |
|
Myth:
Zechariah 8:23 states that 10 men will take hold of a
Jew, which means that the gentiles will return to the
"ancient paths" and keep Torah by grabbing hold of a
Messianic person who understands that we must keep the
Law/Torah; and who has the "Hebraic mind-set" in order
to correctly understand the Scriptures. The Messianics
are really (Gentiles in most cases claiming to be) Jews who are Israelites of the House of
Israel aka Ephraimites, who are actually part of the
"lost" tribes and are Torah observant.
|
Feb 24, 2010 |
|
Myth.
It is a
Renewed Covenant, not a New Covenant. It is a Renewed Covenant not
a New Testament. |

obedient, meaning keeping the law of Moses (Sinai covenant) |

The
Definition of Faith |
|
|
Myth.
The
bride of Messiah will only be those who have the correct "Hebraic" Name for God and
"Yahshua". |
Jan 23, 2010 |
|
Myth:
The New Testament is
merely "Yahshuah's (or whatever variation) interpretation of the Tenakh"
To be clear, they believe
that what Jesus spoke was merely an
"interpretation" of the Old Testament. |
Jan 23, 2010 |
|
Myth.
Christians
worship an antinomian or lawless Jesus, but He was Torah
observant, and we are to follow His example of that. |
Jan 23, 2010 |
|
Myth.
Paul was
Torah observant |
Jan 23, 2010 |
|
Did
Paul teach to keep the Passover and feasts? |
|
|
Did Paul give
animal sacrifices? |
|
|
Did
Paul Teach Tithing? |
|
|
Myth:
Some say that Paul advocated circumcision by advising
Timothy to have one done, and therefore if one follows
the Mosaic Law, it is part of keeping Torah.
|
Jan 23, 2010 |
|
Myth:
The handwriting of ordinances in Col 2:8 refer to the
oral law or oral Torah, also known as the Talmud. The
oral law is inferred in the NT in other of Paul's
writings, like Galatians, which is the correct
understanding of "under the Law" |
Feb 6, 2010 |
|
Myth:
Christians are
antinomians because they don't keep the Sabbath on Saturday and
therefore violate Torah. |
Feb 6, 2010 |
|
Myth.
We need to
keep the Sabbath, as part of the commandments, and to not do so
means we are lawless or "anti-nomian". |
Feb 6, 2010 |
|
|
Feb 6, 2010 |
|
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. |
Feb 6, 2010 |
|
Did Jesus bring a New Torah
with the New Covenant? |
|
|
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. |
Feb 6, 2010 |
|
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.
|
Feb 6, 2010 |
|
Keeping
the Feasts? |
|
|
Myth.
The
"613" (rabbinical count) commandments were given to Moses,
and are all considered the
Torah. |
Feb 24, 2010 |
|
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 |

Tithing is part of New Testament doctrine |
Jan 23, 2010 |

Myth:
From Genesis to Revelation, there are hundreds of
commandments and ordinances. Yet, believers are never
told to read the Bible. Out of all the mitzvot, this one
is just not there. |
Feb 24, 2010 |
|
Myth:
According to
Micah 4:2 The Law, as disseminated by particular Hebrew
Roots teachers, will go forth out of Zion (meaning
physical Jerusalem) and then God/Jesus will teach us
Torah in the millennium. |
Feb 24, 2010 |
|
|
Sacrifices,
Feasts, Celebrations |
|
|
Myth.
Paul sacrificed animals at the temple
even after he became an apostle. |
Feb 6, 2010 |
|
Myth.
Some
in Hebrew Roots and kabbalah make various claims regarding the
concept that Jesus did not fulfill the "Torah"
requirements of being the "Passover Lamb." 4 |
|
|
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.4 |
|
|
Myth. Jesus
celebrated the passover seder as it is celebrated today.4 |
|
|
Myth. Easter is a pagan celebration based on worship
of the pagan goddess Eostre, and that is what is being
worshipped by Christians. It is based on the false
translation of the word pascha, and rejection of the
Jewish feasts. 4a |

Myth:
We
should celebrate Purim as part of the holidays found in
the Old Testament. |
Feb 28, 2010 |

celebrating Channukah instead of pagan Christmas.
|
Nov 4, 2010 |

the oil and the victory of the Maccabees over the Gentile
rule and should be celebrated by those in Hebrew Roots or
Messianics instead of pagan Christmas. |
Nov 4, 2010 |
|
Myth.
God ordained Hanukkah and it is Scriptural,
therefore Messianics and Christians should celebrate it instead
of Christmas. The ceremonies are found in the Scriptures.
|
Nov 4, 2010 |
|
Myth:
The Hanukkah Menorah with nine candles
symbolizes Christ and therefore all Messianics and Christians
should be celebrating Hanukkah instead of pagan Christmas.
|
Nov 4, 2010 |
|
Myth.
Christians believe Christmas is
Jesus' birthday.
|
Nov 4, 2010 |
|
Myth.
We need
to celebrate the Feast of Trumpets-Yom Teruah-Rosh
Hashana, as it ties into The Rapture and return of
Christ. |
Sept 18, 2009 |
|
Myth:
Zechariah 14:16 is The Biblical Reason for Keeping the
Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkot) |
Feb 6, 2010 |

unflattering definitions. ??? is the true name or sacred name... |

Name of God or sacred name. ... |
Feb 24, 2010 |
|
|
Who Is Jesus |
|
|
Myth. Jesus is an agent of God, but not God in the flesh. |
|
|
Myth. Jesus was the son of Joseph, not the Son of
God. Jesus was not conceived or born from the 'virgin'
Mary. |
|
|
Myth. Jesus was a Prophet and a sage and the
Messiah, but He was not God in the flesh. He was just a man. |
|
|
Myth. Jesus is one of many
Messiahs or prophets, but not The Prophet or The Messiah awaited
by many according to the OT |
|
|
Myth. Jesus is the abomination of
desolation, and those who have followed him are going to hell |
|
|
|
Talmud & Kabbalah |
|
|
Myth. Jesus
followed and quoted the oral law, which many claim is the talmud and
kabbalah. Jesus quoted Hillel and Shammai. |
|
|
Myth. We must
learn to understand the Scriptures through the use of midrash,
halacha, the Talmud and the wisdom of the sages. Christians must
learn to use midrash in order to properly understand the
Scriptures. |
|
|
Myth. The writings of the
Jewish sages and the Talmud, which are often
quoted by the Hebrew roots teachers, do not blaspheme Christ and His
finished works. |
|
|
Myth. Jesus and Paul used PaRDeS.
Paul practiced kabbalah. |
|
|
Myth.
Our minds must be made new in order to understand the
difficult passages of Scripture and hidden Hebrew
idioms. To merely read the Bible and take every word at
face value means we miss the hidden meanings. |
|
|
Myth. There is a
need for Christians to study kabbalah in order to understand the
Scriptures. It is impossible to understand the true meaning of
Scriptures without using kabbalah. |
|
|
Myth. Bible Codes
are necessary to understand the 'hidden' meanings in the
Scriptures |
|
|
Myth.
Traditional Jewish writings support the Hebrew Idioms
concepts and understandings. From a Hebraic mindset or
view, it is easy to Understand the Difficult Words of
Jesus. |
|
|
Myth
Christians are seldom encouraged to study and search for
the deeper and true meaning of the Scriptures, unlike
those in Hebrew Roots or those getting back to their
"Jewish roots." The Talmud is a necessary part of
gaining understanding and clarity of the Scriptures.
|
|
|
|
Language |
|
|
Myth.
None of the
apostles (or Jesus) spoke any Greek, because it was a pagan language.
No Jew would ever speak Greek. |
Feb 24, 2010 |

will be the Holy language of heaven or Hebrew is the Holy language
of heaven or the divine language of Heaven. People can learn it now,
from special Hebrew Roots scholars. |
Feb 24, 2010 |
|
Myth.
It is not possible to curse in Hebrew. |
Feb 24, 2010 |
|
Myth.
Clarity will comes through word studies and research
with books like Hebrew dictionaries and lexicons. By
recognizing Hebrew idioms and learning the differences
between modern translations, bad translations and
humanism., which muddle our understanding, but learning
the ancient Hebrew language, is just the start to really
studying the scriptures. We also need to learn the
Hebrew culture. |
Feb 24, 2010 |
|
|
Scriptures |
|
|
Myth.
The NT
was originally written in Hebrew/Aramaic, not Greek because Greek
is from pagan influences and/or filled with translation errors,
which they must eliminate or "correct". |
Feb 24, 2010 |
|
Myth.
Most of the Scriptures were originally written in the
Hebrew and Aramaic languages |
Feb 24, 2010 |
|
Myth:
Khaboris Codex Aramaic Peshitta
New Testament Manuscript (Khabouris Codex) has come under harsh
attack by the Greek primacists because they are fearful
that the authority of the Greek Scriptures may be
undermined. The Khabouris Manuscript proves Aramaic
primacy of the NT manuscripts. |
Feb 24, 2010 |
|
Myth.
Jesus and
the apostles quoted exclusively from the Old Testament,
and the New Testament writings were just meant to be
letters, and were never to be
considered Scripture. Therefore our doctrine must first
come from the Law of Moses. The New Testament is merely
discussing the Old Testament and is not Scripture
inspired by God like the OT.
|
Feb 24, 2010 |
|
Myth. The
"Hebrew Matthew, or Shem Tov, or Shem Tob Matthew prove a Hebrew
original. The Hebrew Matthew proves that the NT was
written in Hebrew first. |

Hebrew Roots Version (HRV), Restoration Scriptures, etc. are translated with the correct
sacred names while

Feb 24, 2010 |
|
Myth.
King James intentionally altered a Biblical name (Jakob) so
that he could place his name (James) into the scriptures. |
Feb 24, 2010 |
|
Myth.
The book of Hebrews is full of error, therefore not really
canon. |
Sept 18, 2009 |
|
Myth.
Galatians is misunderstood by Christians, so it needs to be
redefined and reinterpreted by Hebrew Roots 'scholars' or removed
entirely |
Feb 24, 2010 |
|
Myth.
The Masoretic Texts were written by corrupt Jewish scribes, and we
should use the Septuagint or LXX as authoritative |
Feb 24, 2010 |
|
Myth:
Paul never wrote the book of Romans. It says
right in your Bible that Paul never wrote the book of
Romans, he dictated it to Tertius. |
Feb 24, 2010 |
|
Myth.
The issue with the
camel and the eye of the needle is not an idiom but a
bad translation, in which the word "large rope" should
have been used. This ‘opens up a whole new can of
worms,’ as a separate issue of mistranslating the texts
by pagan Greeks and the need to search for the truth. |
