I agree whole heartedly Beloved, my only desire is to encourage my fellow believers to pursue excellence in all things...and when examining other beliefs to do so honestly, diligently and accurately...or leave it to those better equiped.
Again I stress that I in no way encourage Christians to pursue Kabbalah...just that we not demonize things we do not understand.
I would, however, encourage people to gain a deeper understanding of Judaism as a whole as that can prevent a great deal of misunderstandings. Jesus, Paul, the entire scriptures in fact are written from within a Hebrew context.
Jesus Himself may well have been a pharasee...yet most Christians immediately associate that term with the epitome of "hypocracy".
Orthodox Jews of today ARE pharasee's and the ones I know are less hypocritical than most of the Christians I know. We have a lot to learn from the people of the Book.
