I have heard that some participate more with the OT rather then the NT. The Lutheran church that I attend shares with us OT text and then shares the Gospel according to Jesus Christ, with us. I have always wondered why they don't share more of the OT. For it took the OT to have the NT as we all know. Liz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, yes, Messianic Jews use the Scriptures from Genesis to Revelation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In practice, having been brought up on the OT, I find I tend to drift towards it much more than the NT. In the OT I feel more at home. It's "our side of the Bible" We may not have been brianwashed by Constantine but we sure were brianwashed by those who say that Yeshua is THE Arch-enemy of the Jewish people I know I should pay more attention to NT but I don't yet...... Old habits and all that........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naturally. I mean the Messiah Himself was Jewish, as were most of the first deciples followers I was brought up to believe the NT had nothing to do with the Jewish people.
