The dangers of teaching that Gentiles must uphold Torah: As admitted by the leaders of First Fruits of Zion

At one point, in 2009, the First Fruits of Zion organization came to the realization that it's "One Law" theology was a practical disaster.  They had been massively invested in spreading this unorthodox and unbiblical view for years with their former partner Tim Hegg as the primary voice.  After significant objections from Messianic Jews that this theology would inevitably lead to a Two House viewpoint that is itself a form of Replacement Theology {Because it views those who keep Torah as the true Jews (literally or spiritually), not those who are descended from Abraham, thus gentiles who follow this view see themselves as authentic Jews, more so than ethnic Jews who don't keep Torah even; it is thus also a form of Antisemitism}.  In what could have been a watershed moment, the organization cut ties with Tim Hegg, and issued a form of repentance by saying,

"The result is a state of anarchy disguised under the name of Law.  Congregations split over calendar arguments.  People are embittered toward one another.  Close friends are separated...Communities shrink...there are no other Messianic believers in the are with whom they can sustain a relationship.  The program is not working...they reject Judaism and Jewish tradition, and they reject Christianity and Christian tradition." - Boaz Michael and D. Thomas Lancaster, One Law and the Messianic Gentile, Messiah Journal, summer 2009 {As quoted by: One Law, Two Sticks: A Critical Look at the Hebrew Roots Movement A position paper of the International Alliance of Messianic Congregations and Synagogues (IAMCS) Steering Committee 1/15/2014  The journal itself is behind the paywall on the FFOZ website, however the IAMCS position paper (link above) is deeply instructive and worth reading if you have any interest in understanding the Hebrew Roots Movement's danger from a Jewish point-of-view.}

When IAMCS released their paper condemning the Hebrew Roots Movement, including the Two House theology and One Law Theology under its umbrella in 2014, IAMCS was under the impression that FFOZ was no longer pursuing the goal of convincing gentile Christians that only through Torah keeping can they please God.  However genuine the change of heart was in 2009, it didn't last.  Having read hundreds of pages published by FFOZ in recent years during my effort of the last few months to understand and combat this false teaching that is spreading in our county and within some of our churches, it was very clear that FFOZ absolutely still believes and teaches that there is only one Law: the timeless Torah.

In the end, the pastors of the Franklin Christian Ministerium have recognized the danger of this teaching and have taken steps to educate our community of its dangers; at one point at least, the leadership of FFOZ, Boaz Michael and Thomas Lancaster, could see it too.

Titus 3:10-11  New International Version

10 Warn a divisive person once, and then warn them a second time. After that, have nothing to do with them. 11 You may be sure that such people are warped and sinful; they are self-condemned.

They've known of the divisive nature of this movement for years.
