Addressing the Theological and Spiritual Issues of the Broad Messianic Movement
J.K. McKee of Messianic Apologetics responds to three categories of questions: Tanach (OT), Apostolic Scriptures (NT), and theology/Biblical Studies.
1. Is it true that references to “the angel of the Lord” in the Tanach (OT) are to YHWH?
2. I have heard that there are references in the Apostolic Scriptures (NT) to “the Jews” that are anti-Semitic?
3. What issues should we legitimately disagree with others about?
What would happen if your Messianic congregational leader, or rabbi, asked the congregational constituents why they believe that Yeshua the Messiah is God? What would be some of the reasons given? Would they encounter dogma or doctrine? Would people express a principled set of reasons for affirming Yeshua’s Divinity, or would they only express a dogmatic “you have to believe” reason, without any real substance? Many might indeed affirm something having to do with only God being able to redeem human beings from their sins (Psalm 49:7, 15), or explicit claims made by Yeshua (i.e., John 8:58). But, how many people would not really know what to say? Do we even want to know some of the reasons why people might believe that Yeshua is God?
J.K. McKee of Messianic Apologetics responds to three categories of questions: Tanach (OT), Apostolic Scriptures (NT), and theology/Biblical Studies.

2. Yeshua says that only God is good.
3. Are today’s Messianic people “Christians”?

1. Please tell me what the controversy is surrounding the Genesis 5, 11 genealogies.
2. Yeshua spoke to Mary Magdalene about their God.
3. Yeshua promises that Believers are spared from the hour of testing. This is strong support for a pre-tribulation rapture.

J.K. McKee of Messianic Apologetics responds to three categories of questions: Tanach (OT), Apostolic Scriptures (NT), and theology/Biblical Studies.
1. I am having difficulty understanding how Yeshua can be God, if the Torah is clear that no man can see God.
2. As a Messianic Believer who believes in Torah, I need help understanding Galatians.
3. Should I use the KJV as my primary Bible?
In His high priestly prayer of John 17, Yeshua prays, “This is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Yeshua the Messiah whom You have sent” (NASU). Advocates of a low Christology, of Yeshua the Messiah being a supernatural yet created agent, strongly conclude that this proves that Yeshua the Messiah cannot be God.
What is the actual context of the statements of John 17:3?
Is it not true that the Trinity doctrine is only based on 1 John 5:7–verses inauthentic to John’s letter?
Could it not be true that Yeshua is Wisdom?
