“… out of Tziyon will go forth Torah, the word of ADONAI from Yerushalayim.”
(Isaiah 2:3)
Jew and Gentile (Synagogue and Church), one in Messiah. (Ephesians 2:14)
“For He is our peace, Who made both one, and broke down the middle wall of partition, …”

If your life is not in jeopardy for what you believe, you’re probably on the wrong side!
“Indeed, all who want to live a godly life united with the Messiah Yeshua will be persecuted.” (2Tim 3:12)
It is what you actually believe that determines how you walk out your faith, “but avoid stupid controversies, genealogies, quarrels and fights about the Torah; because they are worthless and futile.” (Titus 3:9)

Heaven or the Kingdom? It is very important to understand that the core message of Yeshua and His Shliachim was not the message of the modern Christian Church.

“Jesus Christ” — A False Prophet? After wrestling for many years with the issue of why it is so difficult for the Jewish people to accept Yeshua of Nazareth as the promised Jewish Messiah, I now understand that the reason is that they are being faithful to the Torah, which teaches that the distorted caricature that the Church presents as the “Gentile God Jesus Christ” is, in fact, a false prophet!

Replacement Theology “Replacement Theology” is the heretical teaching that the Church has replaced Israel as God's chosen people. Incredibly, it is being taught by the vast majority of “Christian” Churches worldwide.

The True Gospel What is being taught in churches today is simply not what Yeshua or any of the Apostles taught as “the Gospel.” It is only the “individual salvation gospel” and not the complete gospel. At no place in the four Gospel accounts is it ever recorded that “Yeshua went up on a hill, and He sat down, and began to teach His disciples, ‘believe in Me for the forgiveness of your sins, so that you can have a personal relationship with Me and go to heaven when you die.’”

Introduction

What is a Cult? Some methods of defining and classifying cults.

Changes Cults Make Cult groups generally hold the authority of their founder and his/her descendants above that of the Scriptures.

Cultic Commitment It often takes a great deal of commitment to be a cult member.

Evaluating and Encountering Cults The Messianic Believer needs to be just as convinced about his faith in Jesus Christ and his commitment to that relationship as the cultist is about his dogmatics.

Guidelines for Witnessing to Cultists Before you are ready to effectively witness to cult members, be sure that you have spent much time in prayer.

The Seduction Syndrome To understand the dynamics of the transformation process by which a young person becomes totally enveloped in an extremist cult, it is important to note the context from which he comes.
