I was asked to briefly describe the Hebrew Roots movement (which is big in my birthplace of St Louis)...and I said, "Well its the Judaizer Heresy from Galatians chapter 1, but dumb-ed down for youth group kids that don't know their Bibles well enough to know the difference between Orthodoxy and Heterodoxy."
More simply, if the Hebrew Roots movement was correct in their beliefs (covenant faithfulness, obedience to the OT Law, following Jewish feast days and festivals, rejection of Christmas and Easter that honor and worship Christ, and the rejection of the Trinity - oh, yeah they don't believe Jesus is Yahweh) then that means God gave you the Law, knowing you couldn't keep it and instead of Jesus fulfilling the Law for you and you being saved by His righteousness - like Christianity teaches - then you get to burn in Hell forever because you are not Holy, Blameless, or Perfect like the LAW demands that you have to be. But don't worry all of your Hebrew Roots friends will be in Hell with you to keep you company.
Gentile (or goyim) never, ever, ever meant - "those outside of the covenant," buy a Hebrew dictionary, heretics, before its too late.
You are not a "10 tribe Northern Israelite" (moron!) get blood work done your not even Jewish, also Ephraim is just 1 of the 10 tribes of the North, he is not the epitome of the whole of the 10 tribes.
Does Jesus fulfilling the law mean you don't still have to keep God's commandments? I think a lot of christians today believe that. Jesus said "if you love me, you will keep My commandments". ---God's commandments are Torah.
