HEBRAIC ROOTS OF CHRISTIANITY

GLOBAL NETWORK

Restoring the Hebraic Roots/Jewishness of Christianity

The Hebraic Roots of Christianity Global Network represents a group of

ministries and individuals who are dedicated to restoring the Hebraic roots of
Christianity. Yeshua/Jesus was/is a Jew. The disciples (students) of Yeshua/Jesus were
Jewish. Both the Jewish and non-Jewish first century believers in Yeshua/Jesus kept
the sabbath and the Biblical Feast days. This ministry desires to see all believers in
Yeshua/Jesus as Messiah to understand the rich Hebraic/Jewish heritage that the God
of Israel gave to His people. In doing so, this ministry seeks to understand and
interpret the Bible from a Hebraic perspective and background while seeking to
study, learn, and restore what was originally given to the first century Jewish and
non-Jewish believers in Yeshua/Jesus as Messiah. In addition, special emphasis will be
given to understanding the spiritual significance and importance of the sabbath and
the Biblical Feast Days for every believer in Yeshua so that they can begin to
understand why their observance should become a part of our spiritual lives.

Truly we are beginning to see the fulfillment of the words of the prophet Zechariah
who spoke of a time when:
 Thus says the Lord of hosts: In those days it shall come to pass that ten men shall
take hold out of all languages of the nations, even shall take hold of the skirt of him
that is a Jew, saying,
'We will go with you: (The Way of the Torah)
for we have heard that God is with you'
(Zechariah 8:23)

SHOULD CHRISTIANS CONVERT TO JUDAISM ???

The information provided at this site is for Christians who desire to have a basic
understanding of modern Judaism. The ROOTS of Christianity come from the
culture of Biblical Judaism and the worship of Ancient Israel. The Bible, both Old
and New Testament is a Jewish book. Yeshua/Jesus is a Jew. The Disciples of
Yeshua/Jesus and the Apostle Paul were Torah Observant Jews. While the beliefs and
practices of modern Judaism is not always the same beliefs and practices of Judaism
in the 1st Century, the Orthodox Jews have preserved and kept many of the same
traditions. In order to connect the past with the present, as more and more Christians
are desiring to STUDY the Hebraic/Jewish Roots of Christianity, they want to have a
better understanding of the basics of modern Judaism. This Web Page has all the
necessary information in order to understand modern Judaism and all the various
sects and beliefs within Judaism today. Even though the ROOTS of Christianity
comes from Judaism and even though Yeshua/Jesus and His disciples were Torah
 Observant Jews, because Judaism does not recognize Yeshua/Jesus as the Jewish
Messiah, it is UNTHINKABLE for Christians who are studying the Hebraic/Jewish
Roots of Christianity to convert to Judaism. Even so, may this page on the "Basics of
Judaism" help you in your studies.
