Bible Note: 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 |
