Background:

The Refiner's Fire is comprised of a network of ordained Hebraic Faith rabbis, teachers and authors offering no-nonsense Biblical answers. The website was the brainchild of Shali bat Yehudit, a Jewish-born journalist and Believer in Yeshua HaMashiach (Jesus Christ) who got the idea in 2001 when a traditional Jewish friend attempted to introduce her to several Jewish "anti-missionary" websites for "conversion" back to Judaism. When Shali became aware of the type of hateful "anti-Jesus" rhetoric espoused on sites such as Outreach Judaism, Jews for Judaism, and the Messiah Truth Project, she decided to build an anti-anti-missionary apologetics website in order to counter the above sites and provide people a chance to become fully informed about God's Word before making up their minds as to what they choose to believe.

However, once the emails started pouring in from around the world, The Refiner's Fire quickly expanded into challenging anyone who is against the Bible in any way, presenting Biblical Truth from a "Hebrew", rather than a "Greek" mindset - which includes revealing some of the errors of Christianity that has based all of its theology on the much-misunderstood writings of Paul. In the meantime, Yahweh has seen fit to bless us with a couple of like-minded brothers in Messiah to assist us in our mission, and to whom we can be held accountable.

• Shali bat Yehudit, host of The Refiner's Fire, is a former U.S. Army Sergeant Major who served 22 years as a journalist in the Public Relations arena. Originally from Germany, she is now a housewife and an ordained Hebraic Faith/Netzari rabbi who is currently involved in several writing projects.

• Baruch ben Daniel is owner of Netzari Press, co-author of the Aramaic English New Testament (AENT, published in August 2008), and webmaster of Mashiyach, Netzari, Aderetzion, Shalom Chaverim and several other Messianic websites. A self-employed Canadian businessman, Baruch is involved in several projects designed to show the world the Truth of Messiah Yeshua and edify the Kingdom of YHWH.
  
  
• Andrew Gabriel Roth, a Greek and Aramaic scholar, has authored several books and translated from Aramaic into English the Khabouris Codex which is the oldest New Testament ever discovered. His work, entitled the "Aramaic English New Testament" (AENT) is unique because its copious footnotes and appendixes are written from the Netzari/Messianic viewpoint, which serves to clarify the many misconceptions/mistranslations and confusion caused by some of the Greek NT versions. Roth is also webmaster of the Aramaic NT Truth, Ruach Qadim and Path of Life websites.
