My Opera“Messianic"

“Messianic" is a label that has been adopted by a very wide spectrum of individuals, from Torah observant Jews who wear kippas, tallit and peyot, to non-Torah observant “Hebraic Catholics" of Jewish descent, to other Messianics who simply refer to themselves as born again Jews. Many Messianic believers are not of Jewish descent but grafted into the Commonwealth of Israel through Mashiyach and Covenant.
Messianic Judaism states that Jesus is not merely a man, but also the Jewish Messiah and "God the Son" (one person of the Trinity), and that salvation is only achieved through acceptance of Jesus as one's savior. Any Jewish laws or customs that are followed are cultural and do not contribute to attaining salvation.
Belief in the messiahship and divinity of Jesus, which Messianic Judaism shares, is viewed by Christian denominations and Jewish religious movements as being a defining distinction between Christianity and Judaism.
