[QUOTE="love, post: 2571768, member: 223071"] I am a 25 year old Chinese female who does not know how to speak Hebrew. I have been studying the bible for 11 years and am trying to understand every single verse in scripture. I spend about 2-3 hours each day analyzing the scriptures, and 1 hour a week actually reading it. I live by the laws of Deuteronomy 27, Dueteronomy 5, Leviticus 26, Exodus 23, Jeremiah 19, Isaiah 58 I also do at least one hour of spiritual meditation each and every single day on top my analytical time. On top of my meditation time, I spend half an hour refreshing my memory on the commandments I have decided to apply to my life and then another half hour praying for the people around me. I've never met a pastor that I liked but I've met a dozen Rabbi's that I approve of and enjoy listening to. I am rejected by the Christian community because they don't agree with the way I interpret the bible. Some concerns I have are these: Kosher: I believe the old testament is symbolic and that the kosher laws are symbolic so it's not necessary to prepare your foods a certain way if you are keeping other commands Festivals: I believe the Jewish festivals signify different types of spiritual celebrations that you have in prayer and not necessarily celebrations that involve candles, lights and social gatherings. Circumcision: I believe that circumcision is the act of feeling guilty or humble when you sin against God and that if you have a guilty conscience you are circumcised regardless of what you do with your body. Sabbath: I believe that you keep the Sabbath by obeying's God's commandments, respecting his sovereignty, knowing your place in society and and church and not giving yourself more status than you deserve, and waiting for the Lord to explain the bible to you before you apply it, and that if you do these things, you don't have to worship on Saturday. You can do it any day of the week Psalms: I believe the curses in psalms are optional and that it is more noble to love your enemies than it is to curse them, even when you have a justifiable reason to curse them. Raising Kids: I don't think children should be exposed to the Torah when they are too young because they probably won't understand it until they are in their 20's...
