Salvation in Messianic Judaism is achieved only through the acceptance of Jesus as one's saviour, and not through adherence to Jewish rabbinical law. Belief in Jesus as a messianic figure and as divine (i.e. God the Son) is co ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
