Torah in the Balance, Volume I
Torah in the Balance, Volume I: The Validity of the Torah and Its Practical Life Applications | J. K. Mckee
4 posts | 1 read | 1 to read
The Messianic movement largely advocates that the Torah or Pentateuch is relevant instruction for Believers today, and that modern Christianity has too often ignored God's revelation in the Tanach or Old Testament—not benefiting from this dismissal. Yet the subject of “Torah observance” can often be a point of contention, not only between the Messianic and Christian communities, but even internally among Messianics. Why is this the case? Do we have to be negative about this? Is it possible that people claiming to be Torah observant do not often know why the Law of Moses is to instruct and teach today's Believers? Have some Messianics simply lacked an appropriate perspective on how the work of the Holy Spirit is to guide God's people into greater holiness and maturity, given the promises of the New Covenant (Jeremiah 31:31-34; Ezekiel 36:26-27)? How are we to balance how following the Torah includes outward practices, but also includes a greater manifestation of God's love and goodness to all we encounter?Torah In the Balance, Volume I is a well needed resource for our time, as it addresses the main aspects of how to follow God's Torah. Subjects addressed include: why Believers need the Torah, the Acts 15 Jerusalem Council, the foundational importance of the Ten Commandments, the role of the appointed times, and the dietary laws. While Messianic positions on these aspects of faith can often clash with those of our Christian brothers and sisters, they are considered in a fair and reasonable way that encourages positive solutions between all people who have called out to Yeshua the Messiah (Jesus Christ) for salvation. A large amount of scholastic engagement and support is offered for the validity of these aspects of faith on the part of today's Believers.This book is an important addition to any Messianic library, and should be read by those desiring not only a comprehensive understanding regarding what the Lord has started in this hour—but the great responsibility we have been endowed by Him. With everything we have been called to do, the transforming power of God's love is emphasized above all! This resource encourages growth and maturity on the part of all of His people.

This is my #bookspin for January. This one will require brain work and a highlighter.

This was a much needed read for me. McKee brilliantly and simply lays out the case for modern Torah observance and provides ample rebuttal against common objections. He makes a call to engaged detractors first based on commonality and love and then fruitful discussion can be had on differences. If you are wondering about this "Messianic movement", this would be an excellent book to read.?????

Been there. But, by grace, forgive and move on.

I do believe this will be a slower read. I have a feeling highlighter and pens will be used on the pages of this book.
