Bible Note: Bubba I have no psychic powers I only commented on what you said you believed. If that insulted you I’m sorry, maybe you ought to reread what it is you wrote. If I put words in your mouth I’m sorry but I think I fairly represented what it was you said. For a Christian gentile to try to put himself under Jewish law, tradition or custom is sad. While each and every non Jewish Christian should have a warm spot in their heart for Jews and Jewish tradition to put yourself under Jewish law other than what was decided by the council of Jerusalem is shameful. Jesus died to set us free and we keep trying to bind ourselves, to be it seems to cheapen grace. Brother I have studied Jewish culture, life, religion, law and tradition. I understand how Jesus is a fulfillment of the festivals (by the way you did an excellent job on that). However I do not want or see a need to adhere to anything other than what has already been set down and accepted as orthodox Christianity. If you desire to become more Jewish or adhere to Jewish law and custom fine but be very careful. You may find what your hunting for, but most probably your going to fall into a trap. That trap is the law becomes more important than THE relationship. EdB |
