Why do Messianic Jews still keep parts of the Law of Moses; after all, wasn't the Law done away with?
When a Jew becomes a follower of Yeshua, he
does not cease being a Jew. Yeshua said that he did not come
to do away with the Law, but to fulfill it (see Matthew 5:17-19).
In addition, James and the elders of the congregation in
Jerusalem told the apostle Paul that tens of thousands of
Jewish people had believed in Yeshua and were zealously
keeping the Law (Acts 21:20). Thus, the early Jewish believers
(approx. 30 years after Yeshua's death and resurrection) were
still keeping the Law. To learn more, read the book "Torah
Rediscovered."
