what do you call someone who believes in Jesus as Savior and God but doesn't do the whole western ch

Dont get caught up in religion even if its from Israel, rather believe this

Ga:3:28: There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.

You have to understand that the Jews are from the Canaanitess that Judah sired three sons i.e. Er and Onan who were both slain by God, and the third son Shelah who then married another Canaanitess. This relationship produced the Canaanite Jews or non Jews, but now are known today as Jews. It is Canaanite Jews that currently occupy Israel.

The Lord Jesus Christ was a Royal Judahite from the union between Judah and Taymar. Royal Judahites are not Jews, and you can read the whole story in Genesis 38.

Seventh Day Adventists keep the Judaic Sabbath as did the Worldwide Church of God under Herbert W Armstrong but they are/were just judaising legalists or what I call Grace Killers. Having said that, so is 99.9% of mainstream Christianity - salvation by works experts to a man.

Jesus was King of the Jews. I studied Orthodox Judaism under a Rabbi in Tampa, Florida, who has since passed away. But one of the things he taught me was that there are three different types of Jews. There are the Orthodox Jews, who follow all of the laws, including the health laws. They don't eat meat and dairy products together (3hours after meat before eating dairy and a shorter time after dairy, since it digests faster). They also don't eat animals that don't chew their cud, they don't eat shellfish because they are bottom feeders, and they don't eat pork (cloven hoof). They also only eat fish with scales and a fin.

These were health laws that were necessary in those times. The Orthodox Jews only study the Old Testament, too, which excludes Jesus.

I actually did attend a party where people were celebrating a Jewish holiday (I don't remember it all, it was a long time ago, and I have since moved in other directions spiritually).

The other two types were less orthodox. One was very lax and the other was kind of in the middle. I have two family members who actually completed the conversion to Orthodox Judaism, which was very difficult to do. The Rabbis at that time were not very open to this for some reason. I guess you were supposed to be born into it. My mother is still Jewish, and is married to a Jewish man whose brother is a Rabbi in Israel. He is a very interesting person! I love talking to him and hearing his ideas about life. For instance, one time I asked him in a joking matter what came first, the chicken or the egg...he replied quite frankly that the chicken came first. That when God created the chicken, it came up out of the ground head first.

Prior to all this, we did try a group called "Jews for Jesus." They were the only Jewish group we came across who also believed in Jesus as being more than a man. The Jews do believe in Jesus, as a rule, but they do not believe that he is Lord and savior or that he was anything more special than just a man.

I disagree with that idea. I accepted Jesus on April 2, 1999. I do not condemn anyone else's decision, though, as I am a firm believer that all religion leads up the same mountain, just in different paths. (My pastor would probably not be too happy hearing me say that!!!).

But truthfully, if you are one who views the world as being made up of energy, and one single entity is the source of all energy, in my book, it's Jesus (AKA God).

Hope I was able to provide some insight.

thank you very much for your insights, and technically i don't believe the planet is made up of just energy, but the source of the energy i do agree is Jesus aka God, that is a proposing argument that atheists like to make and and my argument against the energy theory is that in religious philosophy energy=spirit.. make sense? I hope I'm not being double standard, I guess that I'm just trying to make sense of it all, when really we can't we are supposed to just believe, (but it does make sense) I guess what I'm saying is some people say putoto and some people say potata theoretically, and I don't think God inteded for such division in His believers in all these different denominations and man made religions, peopel take their religions so seriously, which is only defined as what sense a man made out of God called it doctrine and started a church, denomination, religion, etc. God is soo much more vast and deeper than we can understand I guess my energy theory is just to try to open the minds of the non believers to realize that it is very easily to misread a situation make sense? I am not compromising my beliefs to make peace with them, as for the jewish thing I'll have to look that up about the seperate types of jews, but what I'm saying is that I believe the feasts and certain parts of the old testament law are given as signs of prophecy, kind of like being on God's schedule instead of our own ya know , I don't know but Christmas and other americanized holidays always felt about me or another person, (even birthdays to that point, these feasts are soo much more sacred and help me feel in tune with the reality of God's message, and I don't think its being a grace killer, I unnderstand being free from the law, but don't think that means to omit it entirely, i feel like it is more of a guideline to a Godly lifestyle, knowing above all imperfections and perversions of a law controlled by other men which were the priests or pharisees at that time that Jesus blood iis enough to make even the filthiest sinner a sincerely clean man, and that is the power of grace over law. I think the judgement is the different not the lifestyle. oh and if you check out my hubs It gives all credit to God anyway, i do believe Jesus is God and I just believe there is more mystery to it and we each may not know it all but each hold a different piece to the puzzle... I just think that science is not a new discovery i think it was all written and only the wise could understand it God said it first that's my theory on science and new discoveries.
