I am watching various YouTube videos on Hebraic Roots, Messianic Believers and such and I am listening to some of these people and getting more and more confused by the second. As I listen to one credentialed individual he sounds very knowledgeable- he has to know what he is talking about right? Then I listen to this Jewish person who believes in the Messiah and I am thinking “Now this person knows the Torah!” Until I listen to this other person who was in the Christian church serving with a passion until he saw the light, I identify with part of his testimony so I listen to more of what he has to say. BUT, what about this Black man who is teaching about faith in Yeshua and acceptance of the Torah? What about any of them.
My first interactions with Judaism was as a private duty nurse in Jewish homes. There were some things I absolutely could not do and other things that were permissible. Some of the things that were permissible would not be tolerated by a few of the YouTubers I have watched. Some of these YouTubers believe that many of todays Jews don’t follow the Torah as they should; by their definition they are more Jewish than Jews.
One of the things I struggle with is what to eat. Personally I believe ,many people who think they are obeying the dietary laws are fooling themselves. They may not eat shell fish or pork but their genetically modified vegetables and their hormone injected meets are far from ‘clean’.
Owning a prayer shawl or having tzitzit does not make you Torah compliant!There are a few YouTubers whom I am not in 100% agreement with but I respect their teachings. Like many of the “Christian” teachers who present their understanding without condemnation, there are Torah believing YouTubers who share they journey without telling others what to believe. Our relationship with Yeshua is personal therefor no one can really tell you what to believe.
