Shalom Ed; Not all of Orthodox Judaism do not reject Kabbalah. The chasidiym are orthodox and most of them have the Kabbalah as a core teaching. While I see the “trinity” within the teachings of Kabbalah, I know that you and others do not, in fact find this thought revolting. That is okay, I do not mind. What kind of world would we live in if everyone believed the same things. My view of the Holy Spirit is probably very different than yours and would be very difficult to explain in this forum. Hank restated his questions on salvation and I have responded to them. Your concluding statement is partially correct. Modern day Judaism is more concerned with how they live their life today rather than where they will go at the end of it. To me this is much more in line with Yeshua who was continually attempting to teach love and life for that day. Mat 6:34 – Do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. Shalom Simchat Torah |

Dear Simchat, One of the basic foundation stones of Christianity is Sola Scriptura. Any and all arguements that those of the forum have with oneanother, must be based on The Bible alone. There are other works that may be introduced to clarify,amplify or provide historical or cultual perspective. But they are closely scrutinized and are to be tested by Scripture. The Kaballah does not appear to be one that could stand the test. But it does appear to be the spectacles through which you interpret Scripture. Correct me I'm wrong. Afew brief thoughts: If the rabbis were spiritually alive they would not have rejected Jesus. This business of keeping the Torah smacks of works salvation which Paul labeled anathema (Your translation of "faith" sounds as if faith MEANS works). You also have inferred that our bibles are tainted with the particular doctrines of the translators. Perhaps you, a scholar of Hebrew (are'nt you?), could provide us with a PURE translation. I have salted my conversation with as much salt as God has provided me. Your doctrines seem to reflect a jewish form of new age gnostisism. John |

John, hello. YOU: "I have salted my conversation with as much salt as God has provided me."...... ME: "Wow, He dropped a load on you all right!" ..... And how I admire a man who has the grit to defend his faith! And agree with all you said in your post..... I like Simchat Torah. I think he is a true gentleman and honest about his faith, but like you, John, I sharply disagree with him on the very issues you have mentioned in your post. I'm on record all over this forum as being a Sola Scriptura guy, so I don't base my faith on, or define it by, the teachings of the Kabbulah or Benny the Hinn or the Farmer's Almanac. I do believe salvation is by grace and not works, but I don't believe that the skilled and dedicated men of God who serve Him in translating His word have corrupted the sacred texts..... I repeat for emphasis: This is a disagreement with our new user, Simchat Torah, on issues involving faith and practice, and in no wise is it meant to demean him. or diminish my respect for him as a human being, or to rob him of his dignity as a person. Your brother in Christ, --Hank [You may insert 'bubba' in place of 'brother' if you feel more comfortable with it, John] :-) | ||||||

Dear Bubba Hank, I agree Hank and I pray that my zeal for Him is not twisted by my carnal emotions (been there done that). Nevertheless we do need to identify error (as God gives us the grace to do so) and to respond to it in no uncertain terms. Thanks for you post. Although I did notice a typo: "Kabulah" rather than "Kaballah". Tch,tch. Benny the Hinn? You slay me!LOL The Brooklyn Bubba, John |
