General questions for former Messianics

[Strefanash]

I would go back, back before the Reformation, which i regard as the most obscene fist fight over doctrine in history; back before the Catholic Church, which in its errror provoked the fist fight which the Protestants were only too wiling to join, thus showing the bankruptcy of both sides who were willing to mass murder and persecute in the name of the Love of God.

But I would not go back to Moses. I would go back to the faith of Abraham, ie a personal relationship with Hashem, one man and his God.

After all Abraham believed God and it was accounted to him righteousness. The promise of the New Covenant is that the Holy Spirit will lead me to such repentance as I can believe God also

As I may have already said here if the Hebrew Rootists go back to Moses and not Abraham and his faith they have forsaken their Hebrew Roots not reconected to them

QUOTE: Not so strange since one group promotes the law and live by it and the other group promotes grace meaning no more laws.

Stref: I hold that both sides here are wrong. those that promote the law do not live by for it is impossible, as St Paul spelt out clearly in Romans ansd Galatians; and those who promote grace usually only promote lawlessness, for they dont know what grace is. the law is not abolished but grace is not a principle, it is a name for personal intervention by God the Spirit Himself.

the trouble is that those who react against "cheap grace" usually end up being legalists.

If we try to keep the Law we will perish, if we do not try to keep the Law we wil perish. So the question is crucial: which Spirit, if any, are we in a personal relationship with
