it is about our birthright in Messiah

Shalom guys!
Okay, I realize it's been, like, forever, since I was online typing. That would be true for many things I should be typing and have lost track of for this season.
Anyway, to add to the discussion at hand, the largest misconstrued aspect to this "movement" is the Jewish aspect of it all. What I mean is this: We are not trying to get to know our Jewish roots, but our birthright in Messiah as a nation of priests and kings. As we cross over into His kingdom, we leave behind our Gentile, Pagan, Easter Religions, Agnostic Idealogies, and, even our Jewishness. We cannot ask the church to replace a lie of who they have been taught that they are as the Body and replace that lie with another lie.
Our roots go much deeper and, thank YHVH, much healthier than Jewish or Judaism. We must crossover to become the household of faith in Messiah as the whole nation (one new man in Messiah) Isreal. We share in the commonwealth, by the way, and have not replaced anyone or anything. YHVH is huge, I think He can handle a fewmore branches that He grafts in where He chooses.
Back to the subject. The religion of Judaism is riddled with both richness and traditions that are pitfalls that take our attention away from Yeshua. Think of the church's affinity to focus on the warfare of intercession instead of the One whom we are to be interceding. Christianity, in general, provides many outlets for the average person's attention that makes it easy or comfortable. More often then not, those very avenues of acceptance are the avenues that lead our notion to seek sensationalism or a sense of belonging away from worship or Messiah. These are not new concepts, we have inherited them from our fathers. The Jewish (which is a word that was only used since the Middle ages and is a derivative of the word Yehuda or Judah) religion, or Judaism, is just that, a religion, not a relationship. It has replaced relationship with traditions and man made rules and doctrines.
Whereas, the correlation of faith comes into play with a relationship with the Creator. The true Israelite is only that if the dots are connected in regard to Torah and now, through Messiah. To not have the proper context of an origination point, Torha, we have a miscallibrated compas and are searching or worshipping in the wrong direction or wrong God.
The Jewishness of our faith in Christianity has value, but we are instruced to test the spirit that is around us so that we will know of Whom or whom it is from. I am wonderfully glad to know that people are led out of the doldrums of Christianity into a righteous relationship with YHVH through Yeshua. However, it is regretful situation when a person leaves one dead work for another.
The richness of Judaism is exceptional. Yet, the bling should not defer our attention to the Originator of it all. He is calling us back to the pure Word of Truth. Our beginning point is Messiah of the tribe of Judah, as Judean, not necessarily a Jew.
Type at you soon!
