Top: Society: Religion_and_Spirituality: Christianity: Denominations: Messianic_Judaism: Torah_Observant

This category lists sites that are Messianic Jewish and 'Torah Observant' in content. Sites that are not proponents of Torah Observant Messianic doctrine will not be included nor the sites of Messianic groups that adhere to a Christian doctrinal statement that mentions nothing about Torah Observance.

Congregation sites can be submitted to an appropriate category in: Messianic_Judaism/Congregations

Find sites with Messianic 'Torah Observant' content that promote Messianic Jewish doctrine, teach Torah Observance, and that Yeshua is the Messiah.

Torah Observance would include those teaching Torah from a New Testament interpretation or a Talmud interpretation. This includes Messianic Jewish groups that are Torah Observant and Messianic Israel or Nazarene Israel groups that are Torah Observant. This would also include Torah Observant groups that follow only a portion of the New Testament and believe that Yeshua is the Messiah and are Torah Observant. There is, of course, a close resemblance to mainstream Judaism and that is because the Jews have kept the ways of the Bible for so long. One of the major differences between Messianics and Judaism is the belief in Yeshua (Jesus) as Messiah. Also, many Messianics hold the New Testament up to the level of Scripture while many Jews, on the other hand, hold the Talmud (Oral Tradition) up to the level of Scripture.


Messianic Israel

This category lists sites that are Messianic in content of  ministries or resources with "Two House" and Torah observant teachings and beliefs. This includes Messianic Israel also known as Nazarene Israel, but not Messianic Judaism.

This category does not include Messianic groups that adhere to a Christian doctrinal statement that mentions nothing about Torah Observance. Torah Observance would include those teaching Torah along with a New Testament interpretation.

Congregation sites can be submitted to an appropriate category in: Messianic_Judaism/Congregations

Find sites for groups that believe that Yeshua is Messiah and are Torah observant, but are differentiated from Messianic Judaism, in that they believe in the Two Houses of Israel teaching, which says that most Gentile believers in Jesus (Yeshua or Yahshua) are descended from the northern kingdom of Israel. These are also known as Nazarene Israel. Many but not all promote the use of the Sacred Name, (Yahweh and Yahshua, or some variation of selling). They believe that to become part of Israel, you must simply believe in Yahshua and claim Israel as your people. Some believe that Circumcision is for becoming Circumcised Israel, as opposed to uncircumcised Israel, while others believe that circumcision is used to become Jewish. Circumcision is encouraged as natural later step for all believers after studying the Torah. This category is for congregations and ministries that promote a Messianic Israel form of worship or teachings. Biblical principles are espoused with particular emphasis on the Law of Moses pertaining to all Peoples and observance of that Law in daily life and practice.
