Answering a question like this can traverse several paths. The first path can lead to long discussions utilizing large theological terms such as 'replacement theology' and 'supersessionism' or 'dispensationalism' and the ins and outs of the terms' of the historical creation of the modern church. Instead, the easier path to answer this question of what Olive Tree Theology is all about is simply to look at what the Apostle Paul wrote in the Epistle to the Romans, chapter 11. In this chapter Paul spoke of the unifying Olive Tree where the Jewish and Gentile branches (believers of Messiah Yeshua) were all re-grafted onto the Olive tree, and thus reborn unto eternal life. Thus Olive Tree Theology is simply the belief that Jews and Gentiles can worship Messiah Yeshua together in unity while still maintaining their own cultural and traditional distinctiveness. The idea that Messianic Jews and Gentile Christians must worship apart from one another is truly contrary to the entire idea of Olive Tree Theology. Olive Tree Theology calls for a clear distinction between Israel and the church. There has always been a TRUE FAITHFUL ISRAEL present in the form of the Messianic Jewish population just as there has been a TRUE FAITHFUL GENTILE present in the form of the church. The two are clearly distinctive and separated; YET LOVED AS ONE!

This question really is 100% dependent upon the Jewish believer. Olive Tree Theology states that a Jew and a Gentile can worship in the same of house of God; whether that be a Gentile church or a Messianic synagogue. The point is is that there should not be two houses of worship. As true Christians we need to recognize the LITERAL BIBLICAL FACT and that is, is that there is no place in the New Testament that gives us instructions to separate Jewish and Gentile believers. In fact, to do so will only breed distrust and false doctrine like Replacement Theology. As for our Jewish culture and heritage, it is up to us as Jews to maintain our lifestyles and our heritage. Yes, there is no denying the fact that this would be easier in a Jewish congregation, but is it biblical? No.

Dispensationalism is a Protestant, Christian, evangelical tradition and theology. The name derives from the concept of a "dispensation" or administration. Dispensationalists hold that there are a series of chronologically successive dispensations, that emphasize certain Biblical covenants, and that the nation of Israel is distinct from the Church.

Of course it is historically logical that the bible was written for certain individuals during during time periods. But that was only by the men who penned the book for the Ruach haKodesh (the Holy Spirit). The Bible WAS WRITTEN FOR ALL MEN AND FOR ALL TIME. Just as Yeshua's sacrifice upon the cross was a propitiation for those who were living in 33 A.D. through the Last Day so the Bible is given to all People as a Truth and a Form of Scripture to provide us Salvation to the Last Day,. not just certain groups of people. The Epistle of James, though written for just the Messianic Jews of that time is not meant just for the Messianic Jews; but for everyone. The same thing stands for the Epistle to the Hebrews. The entire Torah (the Law) is meant for the Jewish people; yet it is also a living purpose for every person upon the earth! No the idea of dispensationalism goes too far.
