119 Ministries: "you cannot choose which parts of the Messiah you like" — Mike critiques this as circular reasoning that makes Torah-rejection equivalent to rejecting Jesus

119 Ministries argues: if we accept Jesus as the Word, we must accept all of the Word — we cannot choose which parts of the Messiah we want. From this they conclude: if you say you are not under OT dietary laws, you are rejecting a portion of who Jesus is. Mike identifies this as circular reasoning: the conclusion (Torah-keeping = accepting Jesus) is assumed from the start and never argued from the text. He also notes this is why Hebrew Roots adherents eventually reject Paul — Paul's letters clearly teach against their position, so their presupposition forces them to reject those texts.
