The seventh day of the second month in the 2729th year of our dispersion.

I had dinner with a prominent Hebrew Roots scholar the other night. He teaches that the Law is good and that we should celebrate the Levitical feasts and keep the food laws. However, he is clean shaven and does not wear tassels. When asked why, he said that as far as those laws are concerned, he is a regular Christian. As far as I can tell, people like this are a distraction. One might argue that they appeal to mainstream Christians by preaching a message which is more palatable to them. But the message has always been the same. Repent. People who buy this man's teachings will stop short of the real truth and will not repent of their sins, because he does not even put in the minimal effort required to wear tassels. They may be lulled into a false sense of security. For every great truth there are great counterfeits. Once you buy the counterfeit you are far less likely to buy the truth, because you have to admit that you made a mistake in the first place. The children of light have no problem admitting this, which is why I don't think Hebrew Roots scholars are a danger to us in that respect. However, they create followers who look like us in some respects but who are not adhering to the whole Word of יהוה. The counterfeits will look closer and closer to the real thing as the adversary tries to squelch this movement, distracting as many as he can.
