I am not a Christian. I could remain a Christian. But I observe Torah, God's Commandments. I could do so as a Christian. But I do not believe the Trinity.
My Uncle told me to pick a tribe. My Rabbi is of Levi.
I identify and identified as a Jew, Jewish, here on this website, and I was blocked from continuing to be a Christian, from identifying as a Christian, from becoming a Christian again, because I am a Jew and observe the Torah, God's commandments, along with the rest of Israel. This is how I understand it. Allowing something to happen and then making it so I can only be one (Jew, Christian) and then making it so I cannot be a Christian due to my own words, was quite a chore, but maybe accomplished by people with different or diverting strategies, reasons, and purpose in and for what they say and were saying. Logic dictates that a person keeps their words. When a person chooses to obey all of God's Commandments they are called a Jew or of Israel, which is no problem for me and not against anything that I wanted. But I did want to stay a Christian and still not believe the Trinity. Jews and Christians do not understand this.
I have read the Torah from the Bema. I read study observe keep and teach the Torah. I am a believer in the New Covenant. It is for the house of Israel and the house of Judah. It is in Yeshua HaMashiach, Jesus the Christ. I keep (do) and teach the commandments in observance of and in keeping with Yeshua's (Jesus') words, teaching, instruction.
You have the thread name wrong.
I could be a priest without being of Israel or Levi, but not a pagan priest.
Shalom.
Jacob
Thread name wrong? I did not make the thread. But anyways I am curious what you mean by your last statement, "I could be a priest without being of Israel or Levi, but not a pagan priest." How is that possible? What exactly do you mean?
