If you join yourself to the LORD, then you will be drawn to Israel/Judah as they are or at least should be joined to the LORD.

A rabbi told me that verse means having to convert which is why I am looking into it. This is important because if it relates only to those who converts then am I doing wrong by keeping the Sabbath since I am not a convert?

Hear is how to be smarter than the rabbi:

Psalms 119:99 I have more understanding than all my teachers: for thy testimonies are my meditation.

Keeping the Sabbath is a testimony of God. Meditate on that more.

I believe everything that I believe is the truth. I believe not everything that I believe is the truth.

Braveheart: Is this a bot that puts a a 'disapproval emoticon' on my comment? And what is it offended with, lol. Is it against the rules to put up 'cross' 'sacrifice' 'persecution' or 'death' ? I've put it up, taken it down, and still it doesn't go away. May 15, 2024 5:29:59 GMT -8

alon: Braveheart, you posted a teaching against the SoF. Please read the rules- that is not allowed. Still, I left it up so you can clarify and discuss. If you have a complaint you can read any admin by PM. May 21, 2024 16:03:51 GMT -8
