We just participated in our first TikTok livestream with @hellomrsrachel She has us on to discuss FAQ’s for Messianic Jews after the amazing response to her video explaining that she is a Messianic Jew. That video now has over 246,000 views! Here is the recording! If you have TikTok, we encourage you to follow her channel!

0:00 Intro

4:17 Are Messianic Jews Jewish or Christian or both (ethnically & religiously)? 

11:15 Do we believe that Jesus is fully divine and fully human?

22:43 Why do Messianic Jews still follow the Law?

33:28 What pressures have you felt (if any) from Christians to assimilate and/or stop practicing Judaism? 

40:09 How do you respond to the claim that Messianic Jews are only practicing Judaism as a strategy to convert other Jews?

46:40 Should the Church assimilate to how Jesus lived as a Jew?

Note: For clarification, our view and the view of the Messianic Jewish community is that you are Jewish if you have a mother or a father who is Jewish. We emphasized matrilineal descent in this video because each of our mothers are Jewish.
