Summary: In this edition of the Morning Show, Chadbourne Zitek, David Mathews, and Wendell Prentice interview a friend and Jewish Messianic congregational leader Patrick Lumbroso. We begin a dialogue with Patrick over how those who are returning to understanding the Torah and the Hebrew Roots ought to act towards our older Jewish brother. Should we completely submit to all Rabbinic authority, traditions, and customs? Or should we reject them as completely un-Scriptural and "anathema", and decry them? Should we demand recognition as fellow Israelites, or should we be content to remain gentiles? These are tricky grounds, in which differing opinions over "1-House vs 2-House", "Ephraimite or Messianic Gentile", and more could be potentially hazardous to growing together and learning from each other. But we ought to remove the log out of our own eyes first, and work on ourselves - only when we are looking at ourselves first, will unity and understanding come. In this episode, we examine the importance of understanding Yeshua's Jewishness, understanding the dynamics between Jews and non-Jews (whether Gentile or Ephraimite), and treading the fine lines of unity in the presence of differing viewpoints.
