CLAIM: "If they truly followed Christ they wouldn't be Jews at all."
Correction: This is false according to Scripture. Following the Messiah does not erase Jewish identity.
Romans 11:1 (AMP):
"I say then, has God rejected and discarded His people? Certainly not! For I too am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin."
(Paul affirms he is still a Jew even after coming to faith in Messiah.)
Acts 21:39 (AMP):
"Paul said, 'I am a Jew from Tarsus in Cilicia, a citizen of no insignificant city...'"
(He still identifies as a Jew after years of preaching the Gospel.)
Acts 22:3 (AMP):
"I am a Jew, born in Tarsus of Cilicia, but brought up in this city [Jerusalem], educated under Gamaliel..."
(Again, Paul uses present tense. He does not say, “I was a Jew.”)
Romans 9:3–5 (AMP):
"For I could wish that I myself were accursed, separated [banished] from Christ for the sake of my brothers, my natural kinsmen, according to the flesh, who are Israelites... to whom belongs the adoption as sons, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the Law, the temple service, and the promises..."
(Paul praises Israel and affirms they still possess their covenants and identity.)
John 4:22 (AMP):
“You [Samaritans] do not know what you worship; we [Jews] do know what we worship, for salvation is from the Jews.”
(Yeshua Himself states salvation is from the Jews. He does not say the Jews are to be erased or be called Christians.
My last point.
All of Yeshua's apostles were Jewish. Yeshua Himself is eternally Jewish according to Revelation 5:5, where He is called “the Lion of the tribe of Judah.” He did not stop being Jewish after His resurrection. RIGHT?? Look it up.
To claim someone stops being a Jew by believing in their Jewish Messiah is to ignore the very identity of the New Testament Church, which began with Jewish believers. BOOOOMMM!!!!
It makes sense coming from the masters of twisting language. You're much easier to spot because of it in any case.
I have a Correction for you.
You speak like someone who doesn't know the God of Israel very well.
Check Romans 11:1
“I say then, has God rejected and disowned His people? Certainly not! For I too am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.”
Check Romans 11:28-29
“They are still beloved for the sake of the fathers. For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.”
Check Genesis 12:3 please
“And I will bless (do good for, benefit) those who bless you, and I will curse (that is, subject to My wrath and judgment) the one who curses you.”
AND check Zechariah 2:8 “For he who touches you [Israel], touches the apple of His eye.” <---NOT a good idea.
So let me say this. Your hatred does not come from Scripture. It comes from the flesh. You are condemning the Jewish people as a whole, calling them “satanists,” “mammon lovers,” and accusing them of being a “cult” when even God Himself has not cast them off or declared them cursed.
You slander what He has chosen. You will answer for every careless word. (Matthew 12:36)
Who are these messianic jews? You cannot name any who aren't just Zionist agents.
