They found a way to make Christianity exhausting
To all the people just tuning in:
Hi. I’m Josiah. I’m a Messianic Jew, which means I’m a Jew who believes that Yeshua (Jesus) is the Messiah.
Yes, I’m really Jewish.
Yes, I really do love Jesus.
No, the two aren’t incompatible, and I don’t stop being Jewish when I believe in Yeshua.
Yes, it’s not unheard of for Jews to follow Yeshua, just like how all the apostles were Jewish followers of Yeshua, along with tens of thousands more Jewish believers (Acts 21:20). Messianic Jews like me are still around, and I bet even more Jewish believers will make an appearance in the comments.
No, God has not ended His covenant relationship with the people of Israel (the Jewish ethnicity)—I’m evidence of that fact, because God always preserves a remnant (Romans 11:1).
No, I don’t believe that Jews automatically go to Heaven; the only way to salvation for Jew and Gentile alike is through faith in Yeshua, not through ethnicity or good works.
Feel free to ask me if you have more questions!
Shalom, peoples.
