Jew or gentile?

 
If you are a gentile, you don't have to indulge in any of the Jewish festivities, it doesn't suddenly make you Jewish, it doesn't make you any holier, it doesn't get you any closer to God than Him being in you, and it certainly doesn't make you any more appealing to God than you already are.
 
Just be yourself, God knew you would be a gentile before you were born, and He loved you before you were born. Stop trying to be someone else, just be yourself. You are worthy, at least God thought you definitely were when His son died for you, maybe you should start believing that.
 
You do know they are still waiting for their Messiah, you already know Him, why regress in your relationship with Jesus?

About me

For those that don't know me, let me let you in on a little something about me. I am like a total goofball. I love joking around. I don't take life too serious. I have a weird sense of humor. I'm annoying. I don't let a good/bad disagreement get in the way of a bad/good friendship. I don't get mad at people over the internet. I don't really get mad at people in real life. I'm happy go lucky. You can find me either smiling, looking goofy (my normal look), or whistling at work (and if you work with me chances are you've made fun of me for it at least once) I don't expect people to believe everything I believe. I am passionate about my beliefs. I respect that you are passionate about yours. If you disagree with me or I disagree with you, I still love you irregardless. (don't you just love that word? the dictionary sure doesn't) It's hard to offend me to the point where I hold a grudge, usually I'm over things within a cou

Kiling makes you neither a hero or villian, it makes you a weapon of darkness.

The interesting thing is that very similar statements as in this article at Creation.com, http://creation.com/will-cornick-murders-teacher?utm_media=email&utm_source=infobytes&utm_content=us&utm_campaign=emails , were made by an American Sniper , and they seem to be perfectly fine and acceptable, and even "Christians" support them. Quite disturbing to witness recently if you ask me. Here are the statements and incident I am addressing: "The horrendous stabbing murder of an English high school teacher and the comments the perpetrator made afterwards are a potent reminder of the possible effects of evolutionary thinking on impression able minds. Some of the sickening comments the teenage student made after the killing included: “I wasn’t in shock, I was happy. I had a sense of pride. I still do. “I know it’s uncivilised but I know it’s incredibly instinctual and human. Past generations of life, killing is a route of survival. “It’s kill or be k

Am I a "Cool Kid?"

I've noticed that human nature is all about exclusion. It's "us against them", it's my state against the next state, my city against the next city, my neighborhood, against the next neighborhood. It's in sports, extracurricular activities, Star Wars vs. Star Trek, car brands, cars vs. trucks, cars vs. motorcycles, social media sites, political parties, skin color, etc. The list would be quite exhausting if I continued to provide examples, but one huge problem is that exclusion has become a major part, a poisonous part, of a group that should be completely focused on inclusion. Exclusion has corrupted the minds of many whose hearts should be drawing them to being open and loving, reaching out to those that they think are different. Exclusion has caused a love to go cold. Exclusion has caused a man to despise his neighbors, every neighbor around the world. That group that exclusion has become such a major part of is... ...Christians. When we study these tr
