Messianic Jews and many Christians recognize that God's promises are eternal and reject the notion that the Church has replaced Israel as God's chosen people. But this gets confusing if they believe Jews need to ascribe to Christian theology for valid relationship with God.
Even if Jews do not yet recognize Yeshua as embodiment of Spirit/Voice/Messiah, they have true connection with and deep insight into the Word of God. It's not about converting anyone; Yeshua did not come to start a new religion!
Let's replace replacement theology with knowing God is One and we exalt our Creator together. We're rooted in the same Word; we don't all need to climb on identical trees to be part of the garden.
As we embrace both our commonalities and our differences, we learn from each other, grow our roots, and produce fruit of the Spirit to nourish our world.
