I would exclude you as being on who judges, but many others in the HRM do. You seem genuine.
This is very vile and dishonest.
Tell me this, confirm YOUR DOCTRINE with the words of the Messiah, THEN tell me how my doctrine "take their eyes off of Christ"
Im waiting, confirm your disregard of what you call "OT" Law with the words of Messiah?
Confirm you discarding of anything Hebrew by the words of Messiah?
Confirm you discarding of anything YAHWEH SAID by the words of Messiah?
Luke 16:17, "But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one yodh of the Law to fail."
You claim the so called "HRM" (which is dishonest because you cant bundle all people togather) but you calim they go away from Messiah, yet I post time after time how Messiah uphods the LAW OF YAHWEH in His Instructions to others and it is not only ignored but actually spoken against.
Since when is actually doing what the Messiah said "taking ones eyes off Him?"[/QUOTE]
They take their eyes off of the things God wants them to do and on to things that do not matter. Their focus is on minutia. like studying Jewish customs and consider the old Testament to be of greater value than the NT. That is how they take their eyes off Christ. The same as a man who is really into sports or whatever. it becomes their focus.
Instead we should be about God's will and being Spirit led. Jesus stayed at the Temple for days as a boy. His parents became worried and looked for him. After they found Him, he said "I had to be in my Father's house". Jesus was led by the Spirit as we all should also be. Not worried about our favorite football team or running down rabbit holes chasing what we think is important.

Ok,so I agree with much you said here, except saying " studying Jewish customs and consider the old Testament" AND BUNDLING THEM AS ONE.
I have heard stories about so called "HRM" or Messainics calling each other Rabbi (forbidden by Yahshua) and even going as far as to bring in "Jewish Custom" aka Talmud aka takanot.
Now for evey story of this I have heard I have heard many more that do not do this at all.
So that would be like saying, "well the pastor at the local christian church is cheating on his wife, man those christians love to cheat on their wives." THIS WOULD BE FOOLISH, the acts of one man OR even a percentage do not mean I can bundle all togather. It wold be like saying all who use the name Jesus and celebrate Christmas accept homosexuality like Desmond Tutu
Same as saying oh, if you use Yahweh and Yahshua you follow Jewsih custom
AND THE BIG THING, I have talked about this many times here, phariseeisim/jewsh custom IS NOT "OT" it is talmud, they made their own feast days, laws, etc THIS IS WHAT MESSIAH SPOKE AGAINST, THIS IS WHAT SHAUL (Paul) SPOKE AGAINST.
The Sabbath and the Feast days were ALWAYS FOR HEBREW and NON HEBREW alike, what mattered is if one followed Yahweh or not.
Seeing as Yahshua said NOTING WOULD PASS UNTIL ALL IS PERFECTED, I take His word for it.
We must study Scripture and let tradition go, jewish tradition as well as western christian tradition, and FOCUS AND FOLLOW SCRIPTURE ONLY.
Exodus 12:48-49, "And when a stranger lives among you and wants to sacrifice the Passover to Yahweh, let all his males be circumcised, and then let him come near, and sacrifice it; and he shall be as a native of the land. But no uncircumcised person shall eat of it. One Law shall be for the nativeborn and for the stranger who dwells among you."
Isayah 56:1-7, "This is what Yahweh says: Keep the judgments, and do justly; for My salvation is near, soon, to come, and My righteousness to be revealed. Blessed is the man who does this, and the son of man who lays hold on it; who keeps the Sabbaths without polluting; defiling, them; and keeps his hand from doing dany evil. Do not let the son of the Gentile, who has joined himself to Yahweh, speak, saying; Yahweh has utterly separated me from His people. Nor let the eunuch say; Behold, I am a dry tree. For this is what Yahweh says: To the eunuchs who keep My Sabbaths, and choose those things which eplease Me, and hold fast to My covenant: I will give to them, in My House, even within My walls, a place and a Name equal to that of sons and of daughters; I will give them the Name of The Everlasting: YAHWEH; which will not be cut off. Also the sons of the Gentile who join themselves to Yahweh, to serve Him, and to love the Name of Yahweh, to be His servants--everyone who keeps the Sabbaths without polluting; defiling, them and who holds fast to My covenant--I will bring them to My holy mountain, and make them joyful in My House of prayer..."
