I ask for forgiveness if I caused you (Navi) to take offense.
I guess being a messianic Jew and knowing so many others, we sometimes take shots within the family so to speak. I meant no disrespect.
Jews end up in church because we have come to know and love our Messiah- JESUS.  This does not mean that I think messianic Jews are not saved, and no, I have not been to every congregation all over the planet but I have Jewish believing friends all over the planet who say much the same thing.
 
So many of us have tried to remain within a Jewish congregation but find the repeating pattern of being drawn back to the bondage of the law and out from under the covering of grace is an easily besetting sin within our ranks and it all boils down to pride.. Because of this, many of us feel safer in churches- and that is saying a huge amount considering so many churches today are still anti-Israel and anti- Zionist and we have had to get over the fear of seeing Gentiles as little Hitlers (Some of us still can't speak about Germany, Volkswagens, etc. and we need to get over ourselves.) .Legalism is also a huge draw to many Gentiles who feel that they need to be Jewish to be just a little bit more saved! That is nonsense!!!
 
We are often placed in predominantly Gentile settings and God uses us to educate the non-Jews about the future of Israel's restoration. Which is a given.   Right now I am dealing with the issue of legalism within the congregation where I go to when it comes to messianic legalism from a guest speaker that has visited.
It brings in division and confusion and we had a church split years ago over this when many Gentiles wanted to be under the law and wear tallit and find their "Jewish roots"- it was never enough that the Lord does not see his church in terms of ethnic identity- only people do.
I LOVE messianic worship and Paul Wilbur and Lamb have been long time favorites so I was not putting down messianic worship and I don't know how you got that from what was said..
What I take issue with is false teaching and bad doctrine that makes people think they can please God with their works once they are saved. We Jews seem to fall for this type of stuff over and over!  Jim Bramlett said a simple truth that I agreed with- and if it were not for His grace- where would any of us be?
