1) I checked the wikipedia and found out that Messianic Judaism is Not considered a Jewish but a Christian sect.
“Jewish organizations and religious movements reject this, stating that Messianic Judaism is a Christian sect.”
my reply is that what unbelievers’ “considered opinion” is, in this case, “Messianic Judaism is a Christian sect”, is not relevant to what is the truth.
Messianics worship in synagogues, and are free to follow most Jewish customs (except Yeshua Messiah fulfilled the Mosaic Law and God’s plan is now “Grace, not Law”….
no human could ever 100% obey all the Law and to break it in one commandment breaks the whole Law.)
This is Passover season….already observed for 2011, and many Jews doing the Seder do not seem to see the significance of the unleavened bread (Matzot) (three used) and the “middle” loaf or third part of one loaf is hidden in a napkin or special 3-compartment bag….the Afikomen….at the end of the Seder the hidden Matzo (bread) is found and broken so that each person eats a part of it.
Messianic Rabbi Bernis says “Believers in Yeshua see a profound picture of God the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. The middle matzah, being the Son–or Yeshua, whose body was “broken” for us, and afflicted—bruised, though without sin sin (leaven)—He was pierced, like the matzah and striped (lashed) and bruised. His body was wrapped for burial as we wrap our ‘Afikomen’…”
