Pastor Martin Fromm died a few years ago. He was an Orthodox Jew who came to know his Messiah when challenged by his friend a fellow jew, Ray Cohen. He was going to prove to his friend that Jesus was not the Messiah. After searching for answers to his questions from books, rabbis and others, He gave-in to the LORD and prayed to receive Jesus, Yeshua, and became what he called a completed Jew. He finally came to know Israel's promised Messiah, the LORD Jesus. In a short time, he was teaching non jews (gentiles) about Jesus from the old and new testament. He reminded me of what the apostle Paul would have been. He had a zeal for God but not according to knowledge until he received Jesus. Then the scales were lifted and he could see Jesus as Isaiah wrote, He came to His own but His own knew Him not. THEN he saw HIM. BELOW ARE A FEW OF HIS WEEKLY MESSAGES
He was truly a man of God who walked by faith not by site. He lived his life by what is called 'practical faith', not living by the rules of man or laws of God twisted by man and their religions. When the LORD says we walk by faith that means each of us walk based on our personal experiences and growing relationship with our God. The LORD reminds us in Isaiah Chapter 1, that sacrifices and offerings mean nothing to Him, but how we live our life for Him by faith (trusting, believing). Without faith it is impossible to please Him. Marty lived to please the LORD.
Abraham, Isaac and Jacob walked with the LORD long before God gave Moses His constitution for Israel, a people and a nation He raised to be His own. It is our job to tell others about His unchanging love and mercy.....His Grace. This is what Marty lived by and taught for the 42 plus years I knew him. He will remain in my heart till we meet again in heaven. God showed the people of the earth that He created Adam and Eve. No earthly parents. You would have thought that many would tell others? Apparently they taught others how to sin not tell everyone about their creator, Jesus. So the LORD took Noah and started man over again. He made them a nation of people and called them Israel. He revealed Himself to them in many ways but mostly through His law. Did they tell others about the LORD? No. Instead they followed the people. God raised prophets to tell them what to do but they refused to listen. In time the LORD shattered His people. Israel, the children of Jacob. Finally the LORD formed a new nation, called the 'Church', "God' called out" both Jew and non Jew. As Jesus said it, the harvest is great but the workers are few. Marty taught to motivate Gentiles & non Jews, to preach to both. Instead we dispute replacement theology, when will the rature happen, and so many other questions that Jesus said we are not to know till He returns. Meanwhile satan continues to stir up confusion and division amoung believers instead of preaching Jesus and salvation. The world is perishing, we must wake up.
I attended a congregation called 'Beth Yeshua' meaning House of Jesus and attended as many Bible studies as I could. The men who taught were men of God who studied Biblical doctrine (teachings) as well as the Jewishness of Scripture. Remember that the word of God was given to the Jew, not us non jews. (Romans 3:2) In Zechariah 8:22-23, in the future many people and strong nations will seek the LORD in Jerusalem.....and ten men from every language shall grasp the sleeve of a jewish man saying "Let us go with you, for we have heard that God is with you." Like several men and women at Beth Yeshua, I learned much from Marty.
PS...Replacement theology is a lie from hell. God will never be through with Israel. Marty is just one example of how many Jewish men came to Jesus and began to teach the God of Israel, Jesus, to gentiles. I have posted a few of my recordings of his teaching. As I locate them I will post them. God's word is not for sale and should be heard freely. The more you learn about the LORD, the more you will trust the LORD in your situations. Be strong in the LORD and this can only be achieved by learning how He cares for His believers, both Jew and Gentile. God Bless, in Jesus, Yeshua

PS As I find recordings of Messages, I will post them from time to time. I have found recordings of Pastor Richie Saxon. In time I hope to post them also.
