It makes me sad that so many in the church can be so ignorant.
I remember even as a child asking questions regarding certain teachings and getting an answer that had so many holes in it that bee's could set up a hive.
When I first started looking at the Messianic movement I did a lot of research on it. I attended services and got acquainted with a lot of Messianic people...both Jew and Gentile. Then when I went to one of my pastors and was telling him about it he interrupted me and began to tell me all these things wrong with what is taught and I knew that none of them were true.
There had been other instances too. Some scripture would not correspond with what was taught and when I questioned it, I was given a pat answer that again, had nothing but holes in it.
I have not given up my faith in Jesus as my only source of salvation. I don't see that eating as God has instructed puts me in bondage to sin and re-crucifies Christ on the cross. I don't see that partaking in celebrations that God Himself set forth seperate's me from the Love of God.
Why is it that church people can be so stupid, yet think they are so wise and informed? Especially, everytime they open their mouths they reveal how much they don't know. They do not even listen...it's like when I say I don't trust in the law to save me they accuse me of trusting in the law to save me. King David wrote that it was shameful to answer a matter before it has been heard. Church people are always answering without hearing. Grrrrrrr!
I've known the Lord for over 50 years. Being Messianic has only incouraged me to dig deeper and what I've found has caused me to embrace Him even more. How can that be considered bad?
Just blowing off steam
