Absolutely! It is rare to find someone else in this movement with this view.

Are you anywhere near Rabbi Robert O. Miller's concregation in Temple Texas. He's my Rabbi and he was trained at the Chabad for several years after withdrawing from Christianity. He is a very insightful man and I cannot recommend enough his teachings.

I pop onto Nazarene space about once a week to post Pslams studies and have a quick browse. I'll have to just see if you're on line when I'm here to have a chat. Things are pretty busy at present with our congregation. It's so good to meet someone who isn't judgmental, but on the contrary respectful toward the Chabad movement.

Shalom, Shalom!

Sorry Shawn, I still cannot see your kabbalistic-yeshua blog. I tried using a search but with no success.

Thanks for the comment, the link still doesn't work. I see 2 blog links on your profile:

This seems strange-I wonder if that may be private or something?

Thanks Shawn, I see the blog at a slighty new URL: http://nazarenespace.ning.com/profiles/blogs/kabbalistic-yeshua-11
I hope you will post this to the Nazarene Kabbalah group?

Sorry my writing is a little incoherent, I am still really new to both the New Covenant and Kabbalah. So far I have been learning the Kabbalah from popular sources such as The Secret by M. Berg and God is a Verb. Here is an example of the difference I see between the teaching of Yeshua and how the Kabbalah is taught by popular sources:

My understanding is that Yeshua teaches that we must give in order to help someone who is left half dead by the side of the road, for example. (URL: http://www.questioningchristian.com/2005/02/the_difference_.html [Luke 10:25-37, parable of Good Samaritan]) The Kabbalah books I have read teach giving in a different way: to do things like giving anonymously or giving to restore the former wealth of another person.

Of course, both ways of giving are valuable and will be rewarded by the Creator. However, the teaching from Yeshua seems focused on giving more specifically for the survival of the poor/destitute, and yes he does derive the teaching of Luke 10:25-37 from Jewish law.

What I was trying to say is that what Yeshua was teaching the Jews to do is (in general) not contradictory to Jewish law, and it was very little that Yeshua actually proclaimed himself to be the Messiah. So even though it is the Messianic and Nazarene Jews who proclaim Yeshua as Messiah, it should be OK for all Jews to follow most of the teachings of Yeshua.

BTW, when I say "Our Kabbalah" I meant the important Jewish teachings related to the Kabbablah that are acceptable to all Jews. While not all Jews would accept our beliefs about who the Messiah ben Joseph would be (Yeshua), what Yeshua taught us to do would as you know be consistent with the teachings of the Jewish Kabbalah.

I thank you for posting the Kabbalistic Yeshua blog-I have read through it very quickly so far. I do have some hope that all Jews may have some unity in following the Kabbalah (for healing, for example) despite our differences in accepting or rejecting Yeshua.

Thanks again for the Kabbalistic Yeshua blog, I have found it very helpful (I can already identify some real junk out there). My only difficulty is that the references by page number seemed specific to a specific version; references that point through an online version would be a bit easier for beginners like myself. If I knew the Kabbalah better I would volunteer to help out.

I am actually very interested in Kabbalistic healing in the style of Yeshua (and Shaul) and am finding out how much I still have to learn=)

Shawn you might be interested in seeing how far along the modern state of Israel is on positive ID of the ten lost tribes and remnants thereof. Saw an excellent film an year or so back on their research and ID.
