Karaite Judaism is Anti-Hebraic-Roots
Many have failed to realize that Karaite Judaism is anti-Hebraic Roots. Karaite Judaism teaches we should use the text and only the text and ignore all Jewish tradition. This is exactly the call of Protestantism already "Solas Scriptura" "Scripture Only". If Karaitism were true, then Protestantism would have all truth already and would not NEED a Hebraic Roots movement, nor would it even need Karaitism!

Nazarenes, you are invited to a wedding… in fact you are the bride!
There is an old Jewish story of a couple about to be married. They lived in a small village and had invited everyone from the village to their wedding. Each guest was asked to bring a jug of wine for the celebration. Each jug of wine would be poured into a giant vat to be shared by everyone. As the wedding day approached, each member of the village thought, "If I do not bring my jug of wine, it will not be missed among so many other jugs."
The wedding day arrived and the couple were married and everyone was excited. But as the tap of the vat was opened, not a drop of wine flowed from it, for everyone had been sure that someone else would provide their share.
So bring your jug of wine, so that when people open the tap, they will draw up a glass of the Yayin HaMeshumar (the wine which has been kept in its grapes since the beginning) and also become part of the bride!

I do not know of any Messianic believers who became Karaites, but I do find it interesting what James said about Rabbinic Jews:
"The anti-Missionaries are Rabbinic Jews who specialize in arguing that Yeshua is not the Messiah in an effort to convince Jews not to accept Yeshua as the Messiah, or to reject him if they already have accepted him as Messiah. Two such organizations are "Outreach Judaism" (Tovia Singer) and "Jews for Judaism". "
T. J. (Mordecai) Mitchell said:Nehemiah Gordon and his fellow Karaites seem to like to cozy up to various groups of Messianic believers and in turn, these groups seem to be taken under his spell. However, I have made one observation: I do not know of a single case where a Karaite has come to believe in Messiah, however, I personally know of several former believers who have ended up denying the Messiah and joining this so-called Karaite Judaism movement. What is Gordon's agenda? I think it's plain to see.

The point is that Rabbinic Jews are upfront and you know where you stand... Karaites are just underhanded in sneak in among believers unawares.

Is that your own unbiased opinion? LOL
I have not met one of those, but even if I did it wouldn't make a difference in my emuna.
I think anyone whether Rabbinic Jew or Karaite Jew that turns one from Messiah is equally guilty.
Shalom!

The issue is not guilt, but rather danger... The stumbling block you know is there is less dangerous than the one that you do not know is there.

The Biggest Problem cannot be solved by creating A List Of Rabbinical Interpretations - no matter how: Accurate, Long, Detailed, or [ inherently ] Complex - even, as they still continue to evolve! Mainly, because human beings will continually adapt to The Letter Of All Codified Laws, while equally avoiding The Spirit Who Honestly Provides It.
Ergo, The Talmud Itself stands completely in the way of Factually Exercising Yahweh's True Love! We have been commanded to: " Worship In Spirit [ Base Our Own Decisions Upon True Love For Others ] And In Truth [ And Then Doing What We Already Know Is Factually Right ] " -, but instead, we [ as fallen human beings ] merely want Codified Guidelines - so that we may, continually, seek to work around them. And yet, to Yahweh, this is totally unsatisfactory!
In the end, isn't that quite-honestly ' The Truth ', James?
Legalism and Licentiousness are both [ equally ]: Opposing Positions To A True Walk With Yahweh! While you might feel superior to those Ignorant Sun Worshipers, it is plainly just as disobedient to follow after Kabbalism. Why do you think He called it: " The Straight And Narrow Path " - anyway?
That's my take upon it.... But, what's yours?

Protestantism indeed had the "Sola Scriptura" movement during the Reformation. But the leaders and the followers of the Reformation never kept the 7th day Sabbath and did not keep all of the commands in the Torah. Karites keep the Torah. The Karites are right to reject extra-biblical traditions. We would do well to imitate their zeal which is according to knowledge.

I guess that's actually true, if you were to artificially set The Ending Date Of The Protestant Reformation prior to 1843... but, whoever said that it even ended? I mean, to my own personal knowledge, it's still factually going on!
In The 1840's, The Millerite Movement rediscovered The Biblical Sabbath... In The 1870's, many of those rediscovered Our Biblically-Required Feast Days... In The 1920's, they factually rediscovered The Sacred Names, etc.... The Truth is that No-One Has Ever Fully Completed The Protestant Reformation; and it is [ factually ] still going on! If it were completed, then Yahshua Would Already Be Here.... Even now, The Ten Lost Tribes Of Israel are [ now ] only beginning to wake up - to who they actually are.
The Scripture plainly says: " When The Spirit Comes, He Shall Lead You [ An Ongoing Spiritual Process ] Into All Truth [ Which Results In The Fullness And Stature Of Yahshua ]! " Has anyone, yet, achieved: " The Fullness And Stature Of Yahshua " - even among all of those highly-numerous Rabbi's? If they have, why don't we - honestly - begin to see it? And if not, then The True Reformation is obviously still incomplete!
We are so very quick to judge others, with regards to: " The Specks In Their Own Eyes " - while, equally, ignoring our own human failings. Why is that? Does it make us, somehow better, than them? I don't, personally, believe so... and, in fact, I see absolutely no difference between: Those Ignorant Israelites [ Who Ignore The Necessary Teachings Of The Torah ] and Those Ignorant Members Of Judah [ Who Ignore The Necessary Importance Of Basing Our Obedience Upon The True Principles Of Love ]! Both of them are equally incorrect... Legalism and Licentiousness are just the opposite sides of the very same coin.

Well said Chandler.
We should all aspire to be more like the Karites and actually keep the torah and not just a bunch of vain traditions of men.
Also, we should all pray for our Karite brothers and sisters to come into a knowledge and faith of Yahushua Ha Mashiac.
HalleluYah!
