I am Jewish first and foremost. I did not embrace any "sect" I read the NT and believed and have not denounced my faith. Yeshua was Hebrew. All his disciples and apostles were Jewish. Those disciples and apostles were Jewish hence they were the first Messianic Jews. Christianity is a sect, Jews and non-Jews who believe Yeshua is Messiah who rose from the dead.

So far in response to my question have been met with derision and sarcastic remarks. Fortunately private emails have shown me where to look, the why's and wherefores for the clothing current priests and the pope wears. I'm appreciative for those people's efforts in helping me with this. True, I could have used some other thread (none that showed) but the picture in the original post got my attention and thought I'd ask a simple question not knowing that there are people here who would respond in the way they did. Perhaps I was wrong in posing my question in the first place. I've learned my lesson well.

I would like to recommend an outstanding book:

The author, Roy Schoeman, was born and raised in the Jewish faith by devout Jews. His conversion story is a remarkable example of how God calls us to Himself. It is a fascinating and amazing read. Enjoy!
