Thank you for entering my page! Right now, you are probably searching to find out more about Jewish beliefs in Jesus. Perhaps, you are questioning your faith, and are looking at different options. Messianic Congregation Adat Adonai is a Messianic congregation in Toledo, Ohio, presents itself as a Jewish congregation. However, in reality, they are a Christian congregation, not a Jewish congregation. I will demonstrate this, using information from their web-site and other Christian sites; each time, reference links will be provided so you can see the evidence for your own eyes. The Rabbi
Adat Adonai is led by "Rabbi" Kirt Schneider, however, in reality he is not a Jewish leader. According to his biography on the Adat Adonai website: "Kirt enrolled in Toccoa Falls College and graduated in 1985 with a degree in Bible Theology Here is the link to Schneider's bio on the Adat website where the quote is taken from:
Click Here So, what type of schools is Toccoa Falls College? It is an evangelical Christian school. According to the Toccoa website: "The Board of Trustees and faculty subscribe to the following statement of biblical doctrines, thus identifying Toccoa Falls College with the evangelical movement within Christianity. The Statement of Faith is traditional and stems from the foundation of the college. Toccoa Falls College is committed to teach and defend the historic and basic doctrines of evangelical Christianity" Clearly, this is a place where a Christian leader receives training-a real Jewish leader would not attend Toccoa. Here is the link to the quote:
Click Here Not surprisingly, Schneider is highly involved in Christian organizations to spread his Christian message. For instance, he presented a 13 part series for Christian radio WLMB on Jesus. Here is the link to the proof:
Click Here Moreover, Schneider was part of the WLMB Pastor's Point, here is the link to the quote, he is under "4/15/04":
Click Here In truth, WLMB advertises itself as "Toledo's Christian Station" and its mission is: "Building on the foundation of the Mission Statement, WLMB-TV 40 strives to:
Communicate the redemptive love of Jesus Christ through an authentic Christian witness.
Strengthen new Christians through programming which assists in the discipleship process." Clearly, a real Jewish rabbi would not be involved with WLMB. Here is the link to the quote, the quote comes immediately following the numbered section of the WLMB Statement of Faith:
Click Here Similarly, Schneider was interviewed by YES FM, Detroit's "Christian Hit Internet Radio" regarding a tent meeting he will be involved with at the Toledo Christian School. Here is the link to the proof, Schneider is under "Thursday, August 12, 2004":
Click Here So, what is YES FM's vision? According to their website "Many people have expectations and thoughts of what the role of Christian radio is in our culture, and those thoughts and expectations run the gambit. Because all of them have merit, there are several styles of Christian radio stations throughout the world today, all designed to meet specific needs according to the calling God has placed on each. As you read a little further, look around at our website and take a listen, we pray that you can clearly see what God has called us to do with the ministry of YES FM. Obviously, a real Jewish rabbi would not do an interview with YES FM, here in the link to the quote, the quote comes from the 1st paragraph:
Click Here In fact, Adat Adonai is an underwriter for the programming of YES FM. A real Jewish congregation would never underwrite a Christian radio station, here is the link to the proof:
