About Us
Bridging The Gap
AltarnateMedia's goal is to bridge the gap between Orthodox Judaism and Christianity by restoring the Pharisaic identity of Jesus and his original followers. We believe Jesus intended his followers to imitate him, following the highest standards of Orthodox Judaism, which many called The Sect of The Way before it transformed into a separate religion called Christianity. By providing rabbinical understanding, we hope to give clarity to both Jews and Christians, and restore the original meaning and intention of the gospel writers.

Messianic Principles
-
Belief in that the Messiah is an agent of G-d, but not G-d Himself.
-
Belief that Messiah is a biological paternal son of David as promised.
-
The belief that Messiah is, was, and will be in alignment with the Halachah of Rabbinic Judaism.
-
Belief that Jesus came to fulfill the role of Messiah, but only fulfilled the role of Messiah of Joseph. He called everyone to repent and they did not. He ultimately died, and through his death, there was a mass movement back to rabbinic Judaism. Additionally, his death caused the nations to turn away from polytheism and circulate Torah in all languages around the globe (albeit, without the proper understanding - yet). This started a global process of teshuvah (repentance) and tikkun olam (repairing the world).
-
Belief that Jesus will return to fulfill the Messiah of David role, and usher in world peace, sit on the throne of David, expand the borders of Israel, and gather all the exiled together.
-
The Sanhedrin will be reinstituted and the proper understanding of Torah will flow forth through the King of Israel to all nations. All will come and worship Hashem together.
Missionary / AntiMissionary Principles
-
No one should promote conversion out of Judaism.
-
No one should insist that Gentiles must convert to Judaism.
-
Jews and Gentiles have separate roles and functions within G-d's plan, and each is to be respected as a valuable part. Each is to respect their own boundaries.
-
No one should turn away Jew or Gentile on the basis of belief or disbelief in a Messiah of past, present, or future. Including but not limited to attendance, mikveh, & conversion.
-
One must not cause another to stumble in sin. There are some things permitted to Gentiles which are forbidden to Jews, and some things permitted to Jews and forbidden to Gentiles. Thus, you must forbid that which is forbidden and do not persuade against that which is commanded respectively.
