[QUOTE="zaksmummy, post: 54432542, member: 194978"] I know what you are getting at here, yes to emulate ones Master in all things may be good, but what Jesus calls us to emulate is his characteristics as a person, not what clothes he wore. The only example of this I can give you is one of personal experience. I am a non-Jewish person, when God started to challange me about understanding Jesus' Jewishness and to worship him in a more Jewish/New Testament way, I tried very hard to find "the right" way to do this and the right utensils for the Feast Days that I thought I needed. It didnt happen, every time I tried to buy something I thought was "right" for the Sabbath for example God put a barrier there. I was walking round town one day, praying about this situation and God spoke to me and said "Catrin you are not Jewish, yes I want you to keep Sabbath, but you can do it in an English way, you dont need to get specific Jewish things to do it". Then I understood, worshipping God in that way he chooses to be worshipped, ie from the heart, [B]is more important[/B] than having the right cups and plates and stuff. The point is I was getting carried away with the act of worshipping instead of focusing my mind on who I was worshipping. A lesson well learned. [/QUOTE]
