Here are the questions for this month, as answered by our wonderful panel of "messianic rabbis".
(If you have a question you would like answered, send it to steve@saltshakers.com )
If you are Jewish and new to all this, go here first.
If you are Christian and think we're weird, go here first.
If you are Messianic and need to know where we stand, go here first.
Shalom and welcome to
Saltshakers. We are both one
of the oldest and newest
messianic websites. Although
we began in 1996, we have
been dormant for many
years, waiting for the right
moment.
We now believe our time has
come, a time to get serious
with One New Man, as a
true expression of both its
Jewish and Gentile elements.
It is time to get Biblical, really
Biblical - not cultural,
"prophetic" or subjective. To
our eyes much of the "Hebrew
Roots" movement has been
hijacked since we have been
away, some elements have
even been called "cultish".
If you feel called to explore
the Hebrew Roots of the faith
in the Lord Jesus Christ, in the
spirit of One New Man - Jew
and Gentile - then please join
us on our journey. All that we
ask of you as an individual is
to learn to love and respect
your identity in the Body of
Christ. If you're born a Gentile,
then that's what you are. If
you're born a Jew, then you're
still a Jew. As far as what your
role is in the Body, that is
something that we can
discover together.
To fully enter into the spirit of
this website we ask you to
read two books, one
compulsory, the other
optional. First read the Book
of Ephesians in one go - it
will only take an hour or so
- and get a feel for what
Paul is talking about in One
New Man (Chapter 2). Read
it, pray about it and meditate
on it.
Secondly, there is the book,
"How the Church lost The
Way ... and how it can find
it again". It's a book that
really analyses what's gone
wrong with the Church and
how a knowledge of the
Hebrew Roots can put things
right. It's not an attack on
the Church, but it's a book
that every Christian leader
should read. It's the book
that is already challenging
the UK Church, for those who
have ears to hear. Hey, even
the Queen of England has a
copy!

Tree of Life weekly Sermon - Tony Pearce
Tony's knowledge always leaves me breathless ! Delighted to hear his affirmation of the beginning of all our troubles with Adam and Eve. I wholeheartedly believe that the balance of the relationship between man and woman, so beautifully created for partnership in a perfect triangle with Our Father God, has gone so totally awry ever since disobedience and the Fall, and will be restored in God's time. We are told 'seek first the Kingdom of God and all these things shall be added unto you' - in the main, this has not been done or even taught, but marriage has been entered into for all sorts of wrong reasons down the years to fit in with society, not the Will of God, and man has continued to devour the tree of knowledge to which he was not given access. Creation began with the Garden of Eden - praise be to God, that is how it will end and God's Will shall be done. I do encourage Tony and all who seek to evangalise, but at the same time would ask that we remember that it is God who calls - we must be wide awake to any tiny little opportunity to respond which can come in the most unexpected meetings and ways, for when hearts are hard only He can can begin the process of softening which we must all be ready to follow up. The harvest is there ! Tony is so right in his comments about the attitude of Rome down the centuries - we are miles away now from what we should be - - but thanks be to God, as true Believers we are so very, very blessed! May it please God for many, many more to come with humility and thanksgiving into the family of God's children for we know that He does not want to lose one and time for repentance may indeed be short. Joy to the World ! SHALOM !
