Why Interfaith Dialogue Matters In today’s world, where confusion and misinformation about identity and faith run rampant, it’s more important than ever for Hebrew Israelites to engage in interfaith dialogue. We are witnessing global unrest, spiritual deception, and a growing hunger for truth. This makes our role as the chosen people more critical than ever. But before we can effectively engage in these discussions, we must first ensure that our own foundation is strong. We must be firmly rooted in our relationship with YAHUAH and His son, Yahushua Ha’Mashiac. Without that, how can we truly be a light to the nations? Isaiah 49:6 – “I will also give thee for a light to the Gentiles, that thou mayest be my salvation unto the end of the earth.”(See our book, The Path: Of Righteousness) Hebrew Israelites and the Call to Be a Light to the Nations Many of our brothers and sisters struggle with the idea of engaging in discussions with people of other faiths. Some ask, “Why should we even talk to them?” But the answer is clear—because it is our divine assignment. We were chosen to be a set-apart people (Deuteronomy 7:6), but that does not mean we were meant to isolate ourselves. Instead, we were tasked with demonstrating the wisdom, laws, and righteousness of YAHUAH to the nations. Deuteronomy 4:5-6 – “Behold, I have taught you statutes and judgments… Keep therefore and do them; for this is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the nations.”(See our book, Knowing the Father and the Son: Those who seek the truth will find it.) Strengthening Our Relationship with YAHUAH First Before we attempt to teach others, we must be spiritually mature ourselves. We cannot give wisdom if we have not first received it. Many well-intentioned Hebrews enter interfaith discussions without a solid foundation, only to become confused or even swayed by foreign doctrines. This is why we must study the Scriptures daily, fast, pray, and remain obedient to the laws and commandments of YAHUAH. Yahushua Himself spent years studying and obeying Torah before He began His ministry. We must follow His example. Psalm 119:105 – “Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.”(See our book, The Order Of Melchizedek: According To The 12 Patriarchs) The Biblical Mandate for Engaging with Other Faiths Some argue that we should only speak to our own people. While our primary focus is indeed the lost sheep of Israel (Matthew 15:24), we must also remember that throughout history, Hebrew Israelites engaged with other nations for the purpose of revealing the Most High. Look at Paul in Acts 17:22-23—he spoke to the Greeks (Israelites) in Athens, using their own beliefs to introduce them to YAHUAH. We see similar examples with Joseph in Egypt, Daniel in Babylon, and even Yahushua in His encounters with non-Israelites. If our forefathers and even our Messiah engaged with other faiths, why should we hesitate?(See our book, What Is the Gospel?) Challenges in Interfaith Dialogue While there is great value in interfaith dialogue, it does not come without its challenges: Doctrinal Differences – Many people have been conditioned with false doctrines that can make discussions difficult. Hostility & Misrepresentation – Some people, even those within our own communities, resist the truth. Staying Humble – Knowledge can make us proud, but we must remain patient and humble when engaging with others. Proverbs 15:1 – “A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger.”(See our book, Peace Be Still John 14:27: Peace For Everyday Living, His Shalom) Finding Common Ground Without Compromising Truth When speaking with Christians, Muslims, or Jews, we must recognize that we have some shared values. For example, we all acknowledge the existence of the Creator and the importance of righteousness. However, we must also stand firm in the truth, correcting misunderstandings about Scripture without arrogance. Even Paul used wisdom in his approach: 1 Corinthians 9:19-22 – “I am made all things to all men, that I might by all means save some.”(See our book, The Symbiotic Relationship: Grace & Law) Addressing the Gentiles: Bloodline and Mindset The term “Gentile” in Scripture has two meanings—one refers to nations outside of Israel, and the other refers to Israelites who have adopted Gentile customs. Our mission includes not only calling the lost sheep back but also helping those of other nations understand their role in YAH’s divine plan. Yahushua Himself healed the Canaanite woman’s daughter (Matthew 15:22-28) because of her faith! This shows us that YAHUAH’s truth is available to those who seek Him, regardless of bloodline. But that does not mean they are equal or are called to YAHUAH like the children of Israel. Our blessings are shown to be the only ones who are called to be lords and priest under the Order of Mechelzidek. So understanding this we have to make sure the proper structure is in place as we wait for our King and High priest Yahushua Ha’ Mashiac.(See our book, The Chosen Seed: Predestination) The Role of Hebrew Israelites in Today’s World As chaos increases around the world, the time for truth is now. The world is looking for answers, and we have been given the wisdom to guide them. But we must be wise in how we present it. Isaiah 60:1-3 – “Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of YAHUAH is risen upon thee… and the Gentiles shall come to thy light.”(See our book, Song of Solomon: A Complete Breakdown) Walking in Wisdom and Purpose We are living in prophetic times, and our role is more crucial than ever. Engaging in interfaith dialogue is not about compromise—it’s about standing as a beacon of truth and wisdom while guiding others towards their divine roles. Let’s ensure we are prepared, spiritually mature, and walking in obedience before speaking. Let’s also remember to engage in humility, patience, and wisdom, just as Yahushua did. Ecclesiastes 12:13 – “Fear Elohim, and keep his commandments: for this
