#3:221. The Nine Character Tests - Part 7: The Misunderstanding Test

INVITE YOUR FRIENDS TO COME AND JOIN US!
"It is not the knowing that is difficult, but the doing"

This year (since 25 March) is a SABBATICAL YEAR!

We want to extend a special welcome to both messianics and evangelicals who are earnestly searching for the truth and fellowship, and hope that both can feel comfortable and accepted here. As you will discover, our calling and visionof Yahweh's end-time work is somewhat different from other groups as we offer a solution to the conflict between the two Houses of Israel rooted solidly in the Messiah and in Scripture. Join with us in what we believe will be an exciting revelation for you!

YAH'SHUA THE MESSIAH

If you are new here, we suggest you begin with What is a Christian?, then view our Simple Statement of Faith, and finally move on to the Plan of Salvation and 40 Articles of Faith. Also read our FAQ, Messianic FAQ and Doctrine & Practice files and Principles of Ministry at MLT. If you are evangelical, we invite you to then read, Has Torah Been Abolished?, Paul vs. Christ? and Who is Echad? and if you are Messianic to take a look at the various NOTES below and especially, in light of all the false teachings currently circulating, the article, Messianic Heresies Exposed (2nd Edition)

Getting into right relationship with our Heavenly Father is the chief priority of the disciple and is what we stress here. Read, Complete Abandon to Yahweh.

One of the distinctive features of this ministry is the revelation Abba YHWH has given to us on the Godhead. For a superb biblical exegesis, please take the time to carefully study the book, Patriarchinity.

You are also invited to LEARN HEBREWwith us.

This is a forum for building bridges between Messianics and Evangelicals. Please respect where people are and do not try to ram your personal beliefs down people's throats. Present your understandings meekly, kindly and with consideration, following Paul's/Sha'ul's admonition:

"Put them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers, to obey magistrates, to be ready to every good work, To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but [be] gentle, shewing all meekness unto all men" (Titus 3:1-2, KJV).

We do not tolerate racism, national chauvanism (including Zionism), rudeness or denominational élitism here. By all means be passionate about your beliefs but in a way that demonstrates mutual respect for others and reflects the humility of Messiah. Don't assume you know it all. None of us do. We are all works in progress. Those who believe they are from the "one and only true church / denomination / ministry" will not survive long here.

We ask those who wish to specifically evangelise against what for us are fundamental beliefs, such as against the deity of Messiah/Christ or who reject any of the scriptures of the Protestant Canon of the Bible (such as the writings of Sha'ul/Paul), or who believe that those who still use the Name of Jesus (instead of Yah'shua or some other Hebraic form) aren't saved, to please start their own groups and not try to recruit here. We are fairly tolerant of diverse beliefs but some, like these, are 'off limits'. Those who refuse to respect our house rules in this area will have their materials deleted or be expelled. The Protestant Canon and the Apostles Creed are non-negotiable.

Please do not spam posts, members' emails or personal pages with advertisements containing your private websites or articles unless they have asked you to contact them for that purpose. If people want to know more about you and your personal beliefs, they can look at your personal page in ME or you can invite them from and to your own private Ning group, but not here, please. Spammers will, after a warning, have their membership canceled.

If you are here only to promote yourself, your ministry and to quarrel, please consider an alternative Network: we wish to build bridges, deepen fellowship, consider the best interests of one another and the Kingdom, and promote something worthwhile that glorifies our Heavenly Father, Yahweh. We ask therefore that personal blogs reflect that goal and not be springboards for personal aggrandisement.

Please note that the BLOGS of individual members of this network (except those of the managers) do not necessarily represent the views of positions of this ministry.

Finally, if you are Messianic and have been embroiled in the latest polygamy controversy, then please view our statement and articles on marriage. This is for information only as we do not wish to debate the issue on this network. If you have been involved in the Whole Wheat controversy (the "Wetsuit Doctrine") and would like an open discussion, then view our thread here. If you are a lunar sabbatarian you are invited to examine the true biblical teaching on this subject. If you are confused as to whether we are conscious after death or not, please see our soul-sleeping article. Please also acquaint yourself with our position on Hanukkah and with the Torah teaching on Lashon hara (gossipping) so that you know our rules of conduct. If you are contacted by persons trying to discredit this ministry or any of the members of this Network please read the Lashon Hara article

In all things, please display and demonstrate the undeserved loving kindness of our Heavenly Father to one another. Enjoy your membership in this Network!
