Q: I’m almost finished reading your
Jewish Roots of Christianity book. I’ve appreciated learning so much history
that I never knew, but it makes me sad to think that people who have called
themselves by the name of Christ have acted so horrendously… It helps me to
understand a little better the anti-Semitism that we saw (and were SHOCKED by)
in Ukraine.
I’m meditating on the thought that you bring forth in the book that Messianic
Jews still need to follow the law… What do you do then with Paul’s remarks in
Galatians 2:11-14, where Paul calls Peter on the carpet for reverting back to
following the laws when the circumcision party shows up in Antioch? Paul
certainly talks here, and in other places, like he is not following the dietary
laws at least…
