Attending a Synagog

[Smalcald]

Smalcald -

Hey fella's, Take your running argument to another thread please.

Please honor the admonition.

Right, this is about worshiping with non-believers and if we can and should do that. Should we pray with those who deny Christ? When we pray with those who are rejecting Christ what does that say about our faith?

I think this is very seductive and very dangerous.

We should be teaching them about Christ that is our role.

If you don't show (note show) them that you love them, all your teaching will get you nowhere.

Understanding Yom Kippur will do NOTHING for your soul and is a false dead end trail of religous observance.

Jesus celebrated Yom Kippur.

Grace to you,

Ridiculous!

Yom Kippur is the Day of Atonement, it speaks of Christ. With the Right perspective, we can only gain more of Him in understanding this observance and it's shadow of the obvious to the Christian.

Peace,

Hey if you want to convert to modern Judaism that is your choice but these religious rituals have nothing to do with Christ IF they don't proclaim and believe that Christ is God.

Is this where all of this obsession with all things Judaism leads?

Yes of course we need to show love and there is nothing wrong with learning about these things. But we can never participate with non-believers in religious observances that DENY CHRIST. This is about what we do not about what other non-believers do.

When those who practice Judaism celebrate these things they are not done in faith they do not believe in Jesus as Lord, we must be respectful of that, but we can't participate!

I can't believe I am hearing this, where does it end?

So they pray to Christ as part of the Godhead?

Yes, but they just don't know it yet. Jesus is YHVH.

All religions that are theistic say they worship the one God who created the Universe, Muslims say that also.

The difference is that Muslims don't believe in YHVH. Their claim is not equal to the Jewish claim.

I am not saying that we do not have a special connection to modern Judaism we do or that this has anything to do with replacement theology or the Church replacing Israel or that whole argument. This has to do with how we as believers worship and pray.

We can never deny Christ, and taking active part in any worship among people who do deny Christ makes us complicit in that; it is a slippery slope to go down this road. Modern Judaism denies Christ as Lord and Savior, maybe someday through the grace of God they will believe, but we today hold the Truth of Christ and our God is a Jealous God, we cannot go backward we cannot be part of anything that is the of anti-Christ, which all religions which deny Christ are part of, and that includes Modern Judaism.

Who said anything about becoming part of their religeious system??

Acting all arrogant and treating the Jews like they are a leper colony that we cannot go near is not going to make Christ more endearing to them. Jesus went where the people were. He was able to sit in their homes and fellowship with them and engage them without partaking in their lifestyle.

So do you think Jews sit around in their services, chanting "We deny Christ, we deny Christ, we deny Christ...?

Sometimes I wonder how it is that people can separate the true branches in the vine from those who are grafted into the vine, as if those grafted in are better then the true.

Remember His words! Matthew 22:32 "I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob

Jesus lived and died under the Law of Moses and that law was nailed to His cross - never to be needed again. Christians live and die under the Law of Christ. Christians are not required to 'keep' the shadows of Judaism the Jews were required - big difference.

There you go arguing something that no one is advocating....again.

Blessings,

More than one question comes to mind with the OP. To get to the truth of the matter, (and afterall, that is what we are looking for isn
