That's where I'd disagree, 280. Judism is a pre-Christianity religion. Christianity is a relationship. The Jews the Lord encountered could not fathom an intimate approachable God but the Christian can embrace Him as the Father He is.
I do enjoy learning more about the Jewish cultures as well as all those of the ancients. I loved history in school but never figured it would pay the bills. Wrong thinking with anything you love, I find.
Well, I guess you do have thinner skin but you know your best course. Mine's got more road rash than I ever expected, too. But I do love talking about Jesus and figuring more out about God's plan. I've gleaned much from the months I've been here between all the distractions of ill conceived/received posts.
I have been quite surprised by the political extremism, though. Most everybody's more right than wrong by a long shot in here but some just have to be polarizing and cut folks no slack no matter what. I tried to leave that kind of junk in junior high. But it follows us.
I guess I'm a contributor to the "problems". I try to be respectful and polite but I ask questions and like to dig into the why's and where's. Some don't like that. No problem. I am glad to bow out of a thread when someone doesn't want to pursue a topic with me but don't appreciate the boot to show the way.
I guess it's just about like the world. Some folks are real easy to get along with and others present a challenge. Why not Christians too?
I'll be kind of scarce for the summer, at least. Duty's call.
