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 Michigan (formerly in 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 his personal 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 where the quote is taken from, the bio is at the bottom of the page:
Click Here So, what type of schools is Toccoa Falls College? It is an evangelical Christian school. According to the Toccoa website: "The mission of Toccoa Falls College is to glorify God through seeking and developing Christian servant leaders who will impact their world with the love and message of Jesus Christ. " 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, Kirt Schneider is highly involved in Christian organizations to spread his Christian message. In fact, on another of Kirt Schneider's websites, he openly courts Christian leaders to bring him to speak and gives a lengthy list of churches that he has "ministered" in. The term "ministered" is specifically how he presents his sermons on his website. Here is the link to the proof:

Schneider was a presenter for Hannah Ministries on October 5, 2008. Here is the link to the proof:
Click Here According to the Adat Adonai website, Schneider broadcasts on WPOS, WLMB and the Church Channel. All of these broadcasters are Christian stations. Here is the link to the Adat Adonai website, the information on his broadcasts is in the middle of the page:

Click Here Schneider also broadcasts on Daystar Televison Network. Here is the link to his listing:
Click Here According to the Daystar webiste, Daystar is the "second largest Christian television network in the world." Here is the link to the quote, the quote comes from the second to last paragraph in the "A Brief History" section:
Click Here Have you ever heard of a real Jewish rabbi who spends all of his time broadcasting on Christian stations? Of course not! Schneider also spends time promoting other Christian organizations. Schneider wrote a letter supporting Hinson International Ministries. Here is the link to the proof, he is the last letter on the page:
Click Here Who is behind Hinson International Ministries? It is Michael Hinson, a Christian leader. Here is a quote about him from their website: Michael Hinson traveled with Charles and Frances Hunter extensively in the beginning of his ministry and later founded New Life Church where he was senior pastor for years. Since then, Michael has been teaching his unique revelations from the Word of God in Bible schools, churches and Christian conferences all around the world."
Clearly, Schneider is supporting a Christian evangelist! Here is a link to the quote:

Here is the link to the proof; the Daughters of Zion are the second group listed under "Groups dancing this evening" and the sponsorship by the Christian Dance Network is at the bottom of the page:
