synagogue or church?

[Goodbook]

taken from second Peter chapter 1 verses 16-21 kjv

16 For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty.

17 For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

18 And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him in the holy mount.

19 We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:

20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.

21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.

verse 20 in particular.

 

[parsley]

That's a notable verse, for a lot of conversations.


... And Do Less, Be More. (Just checked.)

Also wrote a book, called 'In my Father's Room'

There's this one..sounds like a family affair. I would really stick out like a sore thumb.

Services ? Beth Shalom

or this one

Auckland Hebrew Congregation

which you can book a tour and eat at a kosher deli.

Which one would you rather visit? If you had to pick just one. One is orthodox and the other is progressive.

 

[Goodbook]

hmm..potlucks. Not so sure about the potluck dinners..I mean, if I had to bring my own, what could I bring? I would probably be kicked out if I bought my favourite - crayfish, prawns or wonton soup.

 

[Goodbook]

I think, personally I'd rather check out the orthodox. If I had to pick just one. There's a Jewish museum as well.

Having to install two separate kitchen sinks would be a bit of a nightmare. And not being able to eat a quarter pounder with cheese. Although, burgers are probably not good for you anyway.

I do like challah bread though. It's fun to make. And light candles on Shabbat. I wonder if God would mind if I started doing some traditional things like that, even though I'm technically Gentile.

Do you accept the Pauline epistles as Scripture? If so, you might look at Galatians 5.

 

[Goodbook]

yes, so?
It's just a visit.

Think Paul was just talking about circumcision here. I don't think celebrating Shabbat once or twice or trying out kosher food is as dramatic or covenantal as circumcision.
Besides, how can a woman be circumcised anyway? On second thought, don't even go there...

 

[Goodbook]

Im going to go with a friend one day, she knows a friend who knows the guy that works in the kosher deli. She has also been to visit once years ago. Maybe we will have some bagels and lox.

Well, me and my friend tried to go visit last Monday but we got there too late and the security guard wouldn't let us in..the tour guide said come back another day, but maybe I'll give it a pass. The bus doesn't even go there..we had to walk up several hills, and they charge a lot for a visit.

Had some latke at the jewish deli - that was yummy..but they cannot make a decent hot chocolate. (?!)
