Brooklyn, NY – Messianic Jews Making New Push In Flatbush

    11

    Chosen People Ministries’ Flatbush building. Brooklyn, NY – On the 1900 block of Coney Island Avenue, a major business thoroughfare in the heart of Brooklyn’s heavily Orthodox Flatbush neighborhood, you could easily buy some kosher sushi or a few tractates of the Talmud.

    Soon, the neighborhood’s residents will also have the opportunity to study the New Testament there and attend Jewish-style worship services that recognize Jesus as the Messiah.

    Nearly two years after Chosen People Ministries, a prominent “Messianic Jewish” organization that presents Christianity as a fulfillment of Torah prophecies, opened a small educational center seven blocks away on East 18th Street, Chosen People is about to convert the site of a defunct Jewish funeral home into a Messianic seminary.

    The future site of the Brooklyn Messianic Center and the Charles Feinberg Center for Messianic Jewish Studies (affiliated with the Talbot School of Theology, a Protestant institution in La Mirada, Calif.) will represent the largest presence of such a Hebrew-Christian group in an Orthodox neighborhood in the United States.

    This shows that we can’t let our guard down where the christian missionaries are concerned. They have unlimited funds and don’t get tired from trying to achieve their goal of converting (unwitting, unaffiliated) Jews to their brand of religion. They operate through deception and bribery. Even though their root organization, the baptists, at several of their national conventions have denounced converting Jews to their religion as their primary goal, their shady work goes on tirelessly. One of their well-financed subgroups is the “Jews for j***s” organization. The best and most effective way of combating them is through education and Jewish awareness among Russian immigrants and disconnected American-born Jews.

    They aren’t Hebrew-Christians; they are Christians.

    I have no problem to argue with them on scripture psalms ect as long as they speak hebrew but when there whole knowledge of the torah comes from a king james translation I won’t bother arguing with someone worshiping a dead jewish brother

    They are dangerous. They work at subway stations and pass out hard cover story books that look totally innocent, but when you open it up it is the story of J>C> They passed it out at the Avenue M subway station a little while ago and my kid took , did not have a chance to look at it, met me, I asked what it was— looked at it and threw it in the garbage–WARN YOUR CHILDREN!! NEVER TO TAKE BOOKS FROM STRANGERS!! EVEN IF IT IS FREE!!

    You guys are making a big deal about nothing.

    If you or your kids can’t tell the difference between frum Jews and Christian Messianics, then this building opening in the neighborhood is not your biggest problem.

    to #8 : You are totally wrong with what you said. They are very sneaky and PURPOSELY try to deceive people who might even be well versed in their religions. They design their &#8 220;synagogues&#8 221; to look like ours, and they try to dress and act just like we do.

    #10 : what is so mindless about #8 &#8 217;s comment? I think he is right, and you are just trying to be a wiseguy.
