Thanks Marlin. I realize that the Jews don't have a knowledge of Jesus (the unsaved ones.) That's why the Messianic congregations are preferable. I am not saying we should follow their traditions, but just experience the Jewish way of life and relating to each other. My comments are about experiencing the culture out of which He came, and their way of thinking. Just as taking a trip to Europe changes your way of looking at the world, experiencing the Jewish way of life changes the way you look at Jesus and the early church. :-) Izzy

WAS: Is the Bible Complete?--Part 1 "The whole culture of Judiasm is a Wealth of knowing Jesus better! The Seder is a complete and beautiful Picture of Jesus and Salvation! Everything about Judiasm screams a message about Him for those who have ears to hear. I can't express it well--maybe David Miller or other TT'ers can." Izzy Dear Izzy, There is a difference between scripturalism and Judaism. Some of the traditions retained by Jews often shed light on scripture, however, those in Judaism cannot see the whole picture when they reject the Messiah. Messianic Jews fare much better. Jesus, though He was a Jew, in and part of the culture, came against certain behaviors there. The main danger comes from following the traditions of men as though they are from God, when there is nothing doctrinal to back it up. Every religion falls into this. In fact, some studies can show the same historic roots to Judaism and Catholicism; where sun worship is wrapped up in the hidden meanings of traditions. Just a word of caution. --Marlin Here are a couple links: http://www.lionlamb.net/ http://www.hebroots.com/messcong.html#HebRootsMinistries ---------- "Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer every man."
