Messiansk judendom

Från Wikipedia
En populär symbol för messiansk judendom.

Messiansk judendom är en synkretisk judisk / kristen rörelse [1], inom vilken Yeshua (Jesus) anses vara den judiska Messias (הַמָשִׁיחַ; ha-Mashiach). Enligt den Messianska judendomens tro var rörelsen etablerad av Yeshuas första lärjungar. Efteråt hävdas stor antisemitisk förföljelse skett under det Romerska imperiet, vilket ska ha lett till skapandet av dess av-judaiserade form, i dag kallad kristendom. Messiansk judendom kom till under 1960- och 1970-talen.[2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] Till skillnad från kristendom lär messiansk judendom ut att tro på Yeshua bör leda till en inkorporering av den troende i Guds folk, det vill säga konvertering till judendom och en förändrad livsstil i enlighet med Guds Torah.

Namnet messiansk har även använts av kristna grupper som inkorporerar element av judendom och judisk kultur. Detta har också kallats messiansk kristendom eller messiansk tro.[2][3][10][11][12] Namnet messiansk judendom ses också användas av judar som valt att konvertera till kristendom [13]. Andra etniska judar refererar till sig själva på hebreiska som maaminim (troende), och inte konvertiter, samt yehudim (judar) och inte notmrim (kristna).[14] Judiska organisationer och Israels högsta domstol har avslagit detta anspråk i ärenden som rör lagen om återvändande och anser i stället att den messianska judendomen är en form av kristendom.[15][16] Åsikterna är dock delade och en studie från 2013 visade att 34% av Amerikanska judar tycker att det är möjligt att vara judisk och samtidigt tro att Jesus/ Yeshua är Messias [17].

Anhängare av messiansk judendom tror att Jesus är den judiska Messias och "Sonen" (en hypostas i treenighetsläran) och att den hebreiska Bibeln, Gamla testamentet och Nya testamentet alla är auktoritativa skrifter.[18][19][20][21] Frälsning inom messiansk judendom uppnås endast genom acceptans av Jesus som sin frälsare,[9][19][20][21][22][23] och judiska lagar eller seder som följs bidrar inte till frälsning.[22][23]

Från 2003 till 2007 växte rörelsen från 150 messianska församlingar i USA till 438 stycken, med över 100 i Israel. Församlingar är ofta anslutna till större messianska organisationer eller allianser.[24][25] Enligt 2012 års folkräkning var mellan 175 000 och 250 000 medlemmar i USA, mellan 10 000 och 20 000 medlemmar i Israel och globalt sett cirka 350 000.[26]

For many observers, such a combination seemed like an oxymoron, because they saw the two faiths as completely separate from each other. While Christianity started in the first century of the Common Era as a Jewish group, it quickly separated from Judaism and claimed to replace it; ever since the relationship between the two traditions has often been strained. But in the twentieth century, groups of young Jews claimed that they had overcome the historical differences between the two religions and amalgamated Jewish traditions and customs with the Christian faith. Attempting to overcome the historical difference between the two religious traditions, these Jewish converts to Christianity define themselves as Messianic Jews, thus pointing to the movements ideology of returning to the roots of the Christian faith.”

Yet, at the same time, there emerged a growing segment of the Hebrew Christian community that sought a more Jewish lifestyle. Eventually, a division emerged between those who wished to identify as Jews and those who sought to pursue Hebrew Christian goals.... In time, the name of the movement was changed to Messianic Judaism.”

It was used in the internal debates in the community of converts as early as the beginning of the century.…Missionaries, such as the Southern Baptist Robert Lindsey noted that for Israeli Jews, the term notzrim, "Christians" in Hebrew, meant, almost automatically, a alien hostile religion. Because such a term made it nearly impossible to convince Jews that Christianity was their religion, missionaries sought a more neutral term.…They chose Meshychim, Messianic, to overcome the suspicion and antagonism of the term notzrim.…It conveyed the sense of a new, innovative religion rather that [sic] an old, unfavorable one. The term was used in reference to those Jews who accepted Jesus as their personal savior, and did not apply to Jews accepting Roman Catholicism who in Israel have called themselves Hebrew Christians.”

Although a Jewish convert to Christianity may still be categorised a Jew according to a strict interpretation of the halakhah (Jewish law), most Jews are adamantly opposed to the idea that one can convert to Christianity and still remain a Jew or be considered part of Jewish life. From a mainstream Christian perspective Messianic Judaisms can also provoke hostility for misrepresenting Christianity.”.

Every divine action in the world is accomplished by the Father working through the Son and in the power of the Spirit. This God has revealed Himself in creation and in the history of Israel as transmitted in Scripture.…In the fullness of time, the Divine Son became a human being—Yeshua the Messiah, born of a Jewish virgin, a true and perfect Israelite, a fitting representative and one-man embodiment of the entire nation. He lived as a holy tzaddik, fulfilling without blemish the mitzvot of the Torah. He brings to perfection the human expression of the divine image.…Yeshua died as an atonement for the sins of Israel and of the entire world. He was raised bodily from the dead, as the firstfruits of the resurrection promised to Israel as its glorification. He ascended to heaven and was there enthroned at God’s right hand as Israel’s Messiah, with authority extending to the ends of creation.…Forgiveness of sins, spiritual renewal, union with Messiah, the empowering and sanctifying presence of the indwelling Ruach Ha Kodesh, and the confident hope of eternal life and a glorious resurrection are now available to all, Jews and Gentiles, who put their faith in Yeshua, the Risen Lord, and in obedience to His word are joined to Him and His Body through immersion and sustained in that union through Messiah’s remembrance meal. Yeshua is the Mediator between God and all creation, and no one can come to the Father except through Him.…Messiah Yeshua will return to Jerusalem in glory at the end of this age, to rule forever on David’s throne. He will effect the restoration of Israel in fullness, raise the dead, save all who belong to Him, judge the wicked not written in the Book of Life who are separated from His presence, and accomplish the final Tikkun Olam in which Israel and the nations will be united under Messiah’s rule forever.…The writings of Tanakh and Brit Hadasha are divinely inspired and fully trustworthy (true), a gift given by God to His people, provided to impart life and to form, nurture, and guide them in the ways of truth. They are of supreme and final authority in all matters of faith and practice.”

Läst 18 augusti 2010. ”To convert to the Jewish sect of HaDerech, accepting Yeshua as your King is the first act after one's heart turns toward HaShem and His Torah – as one can not obey a commandment of God if they first do not love God, and we love God by following his Messiah. Without first accepting Yeshua as the King and thus obeying Him, then getting circumcised for the purpose of Jewish conversion only gains you access to the Jewish community. It means nothing when it comes to inheriting a place in the World to Come.... Getting circumcised apart from desiring to be obedient to HaShem, and apart from accepting Yeshua as your King, is nothing but a surgical procedure, or worse, could lead to you believe that Jewish identity grants you a portion in the World to Come – at which point, what good is Messiah Yeshua, the Word of HaShem to you? He would have died for nothing!... As a convert from the nations, part of your obligation in keeping the Covenant, if you are a male, is to get circumcised in fulfillment of the commandment regarding circumcision. Circumcision is not an absolute requirement of being a Covenant member (that is, being made righteous before HaShem, and thus obtaining eternal life), but it is a requirement of obedience to God's commandments, because circumcision is commanded for those who are of the seed of Abraham, whether born into the family, adopted, or converted.... If after reading all of this you understand what circumcision is, and that is an act of obedience, rather than an act of gaining favor before HaShem for the purpose of receiving eternal life, then if you are male believer in Yeshua the Messiah for the redemption from death, the consequence of your sin of rebellion against Him, then pursue circumcision, and thus conversion into Judaism, as an act of obedience to the Messiah.”  Arkiverad 6 augusti 2010 hämtat från the Wayback Machine. ”Arkiverade kopian”.
