Dear Rose,
I can no longer resist to make a comment about the Rav’s message, too... IT IS A TREMENDOUS MESSAGE THAT I’M STILL FEASTING ON IT, BIT BY BIT... It sure puts to shame millions of Christian preachers...
However, you wrote...
===========
: The Rabbi's got it right!
: Christianity will never be whole until it does what the Spirit said to do in the Book of Revelation to the two good churches, the two who recognized the Synagogue of Satan, that they should return to their first love.
---------------------
TRUE! BUT... CHRISTIANITY WAS NEVER WHOLE...!!!
It is a proven fact that it is the bizarre concoction of Greek philosophy with a Jewish flavor... The Jewish flavor turned out to be so revolting to the Christians that to this very day thay are still trying to get rid of it by all means imaginable, through holocausts, holy inquisitions, progroms, ghetos, evangelistic crusades, or what have you...
============
: Who is our first love but God, Himself?
--------------------
WRONG...!!! Our first love is Yahweh... the Germanic mighty one ‘God’ came much later and took over the Anglo-Saxon version of the Scriptures... the same way that ‘Dios’ (Zeus) took over the Spanish version of the Scriptures...
===========
: To understand the salvation of the New Testament, we must understand the Old Testament first.
------------------
Absolutely true...!!!
===========
: Otherwise, we Christians come up with ridiculous concepts like God's Chosen People must be "saved," by Christians who don't even comprehend the meaning of FOREVER. If He made a Covenant FOREVER, how can a new covenant replace it? It must be in addition to it, right? If He said that certain things like the sabbath were to be laws FOREVER, who gave Christianity the right to change them?
------------------
PREACH ON...!!! -- but use the sacred name of our Heavenly Father, instead!
===========
: The New Testament? The New Covenant? I don't think so. We Christians need to reexamine our beliefs. God doesn't take kindly to persons changing His laws.
------------------
AND HIS SACRED NAME, EITHER...!!!
===========
: Christ said that He did not come to change the law, but to fulfill it.
------------------
Actually, it is THE Christ, or THE Messiah, or THE Anointed One who said so... (You see... the Christians created a proper name out of ‘Christ’ that was ‘slapped’ on Yahshua at the time of his ‘christening’ by John the immerser, according to the ‘church fathers’... How pagan can you get?)
==========
: And we didn't believe that either - because we changed them and are now preaching the doctrines of men.
----------------
Yahshua said... ‘you are not far from the kingdom...’
He also said... ‘you shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free...’
Shalom,
Lou
