Answer 6

Well for starters Messianic Jews are not Jews they are actually a modern Evangelical movement that incorporated Mosaic Laws into their beliefs and use Jewish terminology and practices. Before Christians were called Christians they were the Nazarene (aka. followers of the way) in which they followed the teachings of Jesus which was taught by the Apostles and followed the ordinances of Mosaic Law that is until St. Paul arrived because prior before St. Paul the Gentile (Non-Jewish) converts were forced to follow the ordinances of Mosaic Law. There were Jewish converts but not that many of them because most Jews viewed the Nazarene as being heretics which is why I encourage people to read the Book of Acts, the Apostles were rejected by the Jews and were kicked out of their synagogues. And of course not many Gentiles (Non-Jews) were converting because they were forced to follow the ordinances of Mosaic Law. When St. Paul arrived he taught them that Jesus had fulfilled the Mosaic Law for them that they were no longer bound by the ordinances of Mosaic Law for these Laws were made for the people of Israel under the Old Covenant. Well there was a divide within the Nazarene the ones that accepted the teachings of St. Paul would be called the Christians. The ones who rejected the teachings of St. Paul would remain the Nazarene but because they rejected the teachings of St. Paul an Apostle chosen by Jesus Himself they had lost the Apostolic Succession. Now when this transition taken place there were some that no longer forced the ordiencence of Mosaic Law upon others but they themselves continued to follow these ordienances they were called the Hebrew Christians like what St. Paul was a Hebrew Christian. The ones that didn't follow the ordinances of Mosaic Law were your Christians. If you read the Paulin Epistles in the New Testament they actually discourage following the ordinances of Mosaic Law. Today there are Hebrew Catholics that live in Israel. The Catholic Church made an exception for them being that they are Jewish converts but they didn't want to abandon following the ordinances of Mosaic Law.
