Summary

Almost 2 billion people profess to be Christians, whilst they have differences in doctrine, they generally share similar beliefs. The truth is, most never truly study the Bible, many others never even open it. Most professing Christians have no idea what it teaches - on almost any subject. Their beliefs are derived from assumptions based on what they have been told the Bible says. They can readily give their definition of what the Bible says, but cannot give the actual Bible definition. Jesus said "Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfil them. I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished. Anyone who breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be least in the Kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the Kingdom of heaven." (Matthew 5:17-19) (New International Version) Judeo - Christianity heritage is so important to understand, but unfortunately very few Christians have had the courage or encouragement to familiarise themselves with this heritage.The roots of Christianity run so deep into the Hebrew soil, but the actual study of the Hebrew world has been so superficial and also deemed irrelevant. Have we been guilty of allowing Man's Law replacing God's Law. Christians should re - examine their Jewish roots so as to affect a more authentic Biblical understanding and lifestyle.
