Jewish roots of Christianity
Salvation comes from the Jews
OT
Jesus was a Jew.
Paul was a Jew--a Pharisee of Pharisees.
Luke portrays the earliest Christians worshiping "in the Temple daily."
The Jews have a permanent, covenantal relationship with God.
Messianic Jews
Strange blend of old and new.
Essentially Protestant literalists, but with a new twist: they apply Torah to themselves, just as the first generation of Christians did (Jesus, Paul, the mother Church in Jerusalem).
"Messianic" because "Messiah" is the Hebrew (Jewish) word for "Christ."
