Re Hebrew Roots - What you are describing is the 'Jewish Roots' movement, no matter what rabbinicals call themselves. The Hebrew movement finds [their roots in] the Nazoreans, who found their roots in the Essenes. The Jewish Roots movement finds their origin in rabbinical Judaism and, penultimately, in Pharisaic Judaism. I am a Hebraic Roots teacher, and none of my colleagues [save one] would dare call themselves rabbis (meaning 'great ones'), nor would they sit under anyone who considered themselves great, nor do they practice any Jewish customs, unless they were first practiced by Essenes or Nazoreans. These days there exist many recently found artifacts to tell us more about Yahshua, his family, how they lived, and what the Nazoreans believed. It is obvious not only in Scripture, but in the ancient texts of His sect, nobody was called rabbi, nobody sacrificed animals, and nobody added to the Torah, nor did they take away from it (Mat 5:17, etc.). I [personally] am very sensitive, as are the less famous, non-Television Hebraic Roots teachers, to all Hebrew Roots teachers being equated with Jewish Roots teachers. There is a world of difference, and it is too bad that you got in with these would-be Jews rather than those of us who are more friendly to your ministry, we who were called heretics as Paul was in Acts 24:5 by the lawyers of the Pharisees (according to the Greek texts). -Jackson Snyder, Netzari Yahadim www.NEVY.us. NOTE TO READERS: We can't just let such stereotypical remarks as those of Mr. Case go anymore if we are to fulfill Yahweh's plan of representing the Nazorean (Nazarene Israel) movement in these latter days. 'Hebrew' does not equal 'Jewish,' and neither this man nor the media group he is castigating should be given leave to let their public condemnation of our faith stand. WE are to be among those who stand. We should condemn both lawless Christianity and the traditions of Rabbinical Judaism, and judge ourselves as to whether we hold onto the worse beliefs and practices of both. If we do, we should stop calling ourselves Nazarenes and go back to the reverend or rabbinical systems that we left.
