Do you see any of this questioning leading you closer to your pursuit of God?Hey guys, I became a born again christian 2 years ago. Since then I have been trying to find answers to questions which just won't leave me. I have been subscribing to three main forums [Christian, Jewish and Messianic] and I am now more confused than ever because these 3 groups all have different interpretations of the scriptures. Going back and forth between those three forums was too much so I was led here by someone in the hopes that all three faiths mentioned [or more] can join in and discuss everything here under one roof, if ok with you guys?
My first very basic question is, as a modern day gentile, does the OT apply to me? I am being told NO, the OT refers specifically to the Jews. And where it does apply to Gentiles, it was meant for the gentiles "of that era ONLY". If anyone disagrees with this, please state why? Thanks.
Do the denominational schisms that exist within your own faith and especially between the parent and daughter faiths of Judaism and Christianity do anything at all to deepen your faith in God?
If the answer is No, then why worry about it?
The point of any religious text, regardless of how you use it, is to draw you nearer to your concept of the divine.
Ask yourself what you truly believe about the whole thing, stop listening to so many differing voices, and follow your faith. If you're honest, you can't go wrong.
