It doesn't su...Thanks for your comments, Joan! It doesn't surprise me that your former rabbi apparently had his own agenda. It seems that most of them do. This is one reason why we left organized congregations after 10 years of putting up with nonsense of various kinds. Why can't they just teach the Word and stop putting their own twist on things? How arrogant to think they have right to go into the Face of YHWH, just to push their own agenda?<br /><br />You are SO right about nothing changing people's minds. Most seem to think they and only they have the Truth, and they'll fight you to the death over it.<br /><br />Anyway, if you ever do disagree with our writings, just let us know. We'll be the first to admit we don't know everything, LOL! Our main concern is getting people into Scripture for themselves, and to learn to not "read into" Scripture things that aren't there. :)Carmenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14998146626031186940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5193745359560427451.post-45749452295235769562017-08-05T09:21:46.805-07:002017-08-05T09:21:46.805-07:00What do they say about Luke 24:41-43 or John 21:8-...What do they say about Luke 24:41-43 or John 21:8-10<br />We left our local Messianic synagogue because of teachings like this. Our rabbi insisted we should all eat vegan, since animals have "so much fat" and what about their "rights". Never mind we are told not to eat the fat and in Genesis it says we have dominion over the animals. I asked him why if YHWH says it is clean for us, does he think he can declare it unclean? That was not a welcome query.<br />I also said he should teach the new believers the laws of kashrut and let them decide which of the clean foods they prefer. I think it was Shaul who taught not to judge each other on whether we ate meat or vegetables so long as we were eating clean. We are only supposed to help others know the difference. <br />I also agree with you on the many various spellings and pronunciations of the Sacred Names, esp. coming from those who neither speak Hebrew fluently nor know the rules of grammer. I use to find it maddening, now I just ignore them. Nothing I say changes their minds anyway.<br />Thank you for all your great work. I look foward to reading your posts and teachings and have yet to disagree with any. I thank my Elohim on every remembrance of you. <br />JoanJoanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16206585604122387398noreply@blogger.com
