Yes Virginia, Christmas has Jewish Roots #3 Mottel Baleston Messianic Jewish Christian Teaching
-
This short series of 3 videos may have a humorous title, but is meant to introduce a Truth: that underneath the worldly celebration of Christmas the original story is that God promised to send to the Jewish people, a Jewish Messiah, born of a Jewish virgin, so that ALL THE WORLD would have opportunity to have atonement for their sin and come into the family of God through genuine, heart-felt faith in Messiah Jesus.
-
I am your instructor, Mottel Baleston. I was born into a typical Jewish home in Brooklyn, New York City. All four of my grandparents were born in traditional Orthodox Jewish homes in Eastern Europe at the turn-of-the-century. I came to saving faith in Messiah Jesus at the age of 21 after a spiritual search. After a short time in secular work, I graduated from evangelical Bible college, and am slowly working my way through graduate school for a Masters degree in Old Testament. I have served in leadership in both evangelical churches and for over 30 years served in the capacities of Messianic Rabbi and leader of several Messianic Jewish congregations and fellowships. I am, PRESENT TENSE, both happily Jewish and happily and gratefully in the family of God through faith alone in Messiah Yeshua. It's my privilege to teach alongside author & Bible scholar Dr. Arnold Fruchtenbaum each summer at the Ariel Ministries Messianic Discipleship Summer Intensive School.
-
The series is 3 videos of about 20 minutes. Each one will have a teaching PowerPoint. Feel free to post comments or questions and I will be able to answer those in the comments, however it will usually take three or four weeks until I'm able to respond. All comments are held for approval as this channel has sadly been the target of both racist anti-Semites who consider themselves to be Christians, as well as individuals attempting to promote false teaching. Sincere questions are welcome!

BUT i have found THIS Messiah he is teaching you abt. please please if you are still a “christian” living under replacement theology please listen and pray for an awakening. i found my Hebrew Roots and it has Rocked My World. why would the Creator of the world have another plan now that evolves into 1,000’s of denominations. HE DID NOT. We are grafted into Israel by the blood of THEIR Messiah. Gods plan never changed!!!!.

    well, Virginia, Christmas actually has more pagan roots. ie the virgin birth, a pagan concept and according to matthew and luke the idea that jesus had no biological human father thus disqualifying him from being the messiah. this message is brought to you by Baptists for Buddha

    • @messengersmessianicjewisho1058
      @messengersmessianicjewisho1058 16 днів тому

      Hello there Harold Hughes, - It's a good thing that so many of us who are evangelical Bible believers are able to study the Hebrew Scriptures in their original language, as I do. The gaping flaw in your argument is that in reality, the idea of a virgin birth of the Messiah is derived from a prophecy in the Jewish Bible, specifically in Isaiah 7:14, where a comprehensive study of the text shows that the word used there for the young woman was translated by 70 rabbis in the Septuagint translation, around 220 BCE, with the Greek word Parthanos, which is ironclad soldily meaning a virgin. That Prophecy in the Jewish Bible was written around 650 BCE, and if pagans want to do a copycat of that there's nothing to stop them. - However let's not try to dismiss Jewish prophecy by noting that it might be replicated in pagan works. My commitment to the truth of the Virgin conception of Messiah Yeshua is based on Jewish prophecy alone found in the Jewish Bible. I would simply encourage you to look beyond sources which start out with an 'a priori' agenda to dismiss doctrines which they feel are musty, and simply look at the evidence for fulfilled prophecy. That's what led me to faith in my own Jewish Messiah after a background growing up in a very liberal home in New York City. I passionately value my Jewish heritage, and that Jewish heritage finds its full flower in Yeshua, the Jewish Messiah. Be well, Mottel Baleston

    Christmas has pagan origins in it. It doesn’t matter if you put God in it. The Torah teaches us that we are not to worship God as the heathens do. Yeshua was born on Sukkot. I’m not here to condemn but seek the truth out. We are suppose to leave Babylon not have have on foot in and another foot out. God bless❤

    • @messengersmessianicjewisho1058

      Hello believing friend, You wrote: "The Torah teaches us that we are not to worship God as the heathens do." Absolutely, we don't want to do that. Friend, please take 5 minutes to do a word study of the origin of the word "God". I'll wait. - Find it? Yes, it is derived from a pagan Germanic diety, "Gott". Now, when you use it you do not have that pagan deity in mind, I know you don't Guess what? Neither do sincere Bible Believers in Jesus who want to celebrate His birth. So I don't take you to task for using 'God', and neither should you take them to task for celebrating His birth. Yes, it was most likely on Sukkot, I've long taught that, a holiday which I grew up celebrating in my Jewish community in New York. Romans 14 gives us freedom in these areas. I wish Galatians 5:1 freedom to you and yours. be well, Mottel Baleston

    Great video, many thanks! Someone on UA-cam recently told me that I shouldn't say Yeshua because the Jewish spoke Aramaic at that time, not Hebrew, and he gave the name in Aramaic (which I forgot but it was very short, like in Arabic). But it seems to me that only Yeshua means God's salvation/God saves? And it's so much more meaningful. Also my ESV B ible notes has a note "Or Aramaic" whenever the Gospels mention Hebrew (as on Pilate's sign on the cross, for instance). So it's not simple. If you read this, would you comment? Was this person right or were names always in Hebrew irrespective of the language spoken by the Jews at that time? Re Luke it's interesting that the Anglican Bible commentator, Matthew Henry, didn't think Luke was a Gentile. It seems to be a modern thing, based on one verse, which can be interpreted differently.

    • @messengersmessianicjewisho1058
      @messengersmessianicjewisho1058 18 днів тому

      That comment you heard is taking one fact, that the common Jewish people in that area predominately spoke Aramaic in casual conversation, and they did, but then left the facts behind and speculated about names. Do English speaking parents name their child Gabriel, or Michael, or Abigail ?? Yes they do, and those are ALL Hebrew names. Fact: The common Jewish folk around Jesus spoke Aramaic in casual conversation, BUT PRAYED IN HEBREW. Same pattern has held through Jewish history, learn the local Language, English, Spanish, etc, but Pray in Hebrew, and give your kids Hebrew names. Shalom Penny !! Mottel
