Messianic Ramblings

Hello,

My name is Daniel Coulter.  I am a believer in Yeshua (or Jesus) the Messiah.  I wanted to start a blog to keep and store musings, thoughts, interesting ideas, verses, theology, and questions as I continue to walk in the footsteps of my Messiah, Yeshua.  I am interested in your thoughts as you read these posts.  I will try to answer or respond to any comments I may receive.  May HaShem bless you. 

Please note that I myself am not Jewish.  My wife and I attend Hope Of Israel Congregation (HOI) in Charlotte, North Carolina.  I would consider myself a: Reformed Baptist - Torah Submissive - Messianic - Gentile. 

We re-discovered the beauty of the Gospel when we began attending Hope of Israel.  As one who has been grafted-in (Eph 2), or adopted in to the family, we have found it quite the blessing to spend time with His biological kids, as it were. 

Please note that I do not ascribe to "Replacement Theology."  We have been grafted in to the tree.  We as gentile believers do not replace Israel or the Jewish people.  Please note that it is possible to be Jewish and to believe that Yeshua is the Messiah that the Jewish people have been waiting for.  (If you don't belive me, please take a look at what Rav Shaul [the Apostle Paul] notes in Acts 21 and 22.  He is a Jew from Tarsus.  He believed that Yeshua was the Messiah, and he retained his Jewishness.)  I am sure that there will be more discussion on this later.

Thanks for reading, and welcome to my Blog!
