More unsolicited emails

Posted by admin on November 13th, 2007 filed in In Vane

I got an other email! I am not sure what to call this person they aren’t a friend but they aren’t a enemy. I don’t like or dislike them. They think I need to be converted to be like them. No thanks to that. Every email she forwards to me it’s about G-d said this or that, well I don’t think G-d really said that because he wouldn’t want to put a curse on his Children, plus it not very Christ-like.

I have meet this person about 5 times, and have talked to her for a total of maybe 2 hour if that. She thinks because I am Messianic I couldn’t possible be saved because I am still to Jewish. Okay I am a little annoyed with her doing this, and would prefer her to stop emailing me if all she wants to do is try to convert me in mean and ugly ways. I do not like being told if I don’t do this or that that I will be curse. I don’t like hearing from other mutual friends that we aren’t really saved and need the Messiah.

With one of my close friends this person, had another believer talk to her to make sure she knew Jesus, and wasn’t turning her back. She wanted this person to get my friend to see she was wrong and her way was the right way. This makes me mad, if she really wanted to win people to Yeshua she would Stop being so Self-righteous and start building a friendship, she wouldn’t care if we where Messianic or some other Denomination. She would love and accept people for who they are be it Jewish or something else.

This person will not speak to me or my husband, and it gets back to us by other friends what is being said. I am glad I know Yeshua because if this was my first experience with a Christian I would be so turned off.

I find the most effective witness isn’t just handing a track to someone, isn’t just sending them unsolicited emails, it is taking the time to talk to the person get to know them, build up a friendship which will give some trust. I have found that not pointing out all of the person faults or short coming is usually the best. A friendship isn’t a total of what 2 hours long talking with 5 times of seeing each other, this isn’t a friendship it a acquaintance. I don’t know a whole lot about her, and she knows almost nothing about me and my husband, and everything she knows she has judge with self righteousness, and telling me I have a chip on my shoulder. Well your right I do have a chip on my shoulder because I am not being accepted for who I am.

She invited me to some womans ministry that will be very anti-semitic and I am sorry I am not going to put myself through that. I believe what I believe and don’t need to be changed, to their beliefs which aren’t healthy. I don’t get why she only can forward me and my husband stuff, this isn’t fair to us. If she wants something good for us, or to make sure we are okay in our faith maybe she should talk to us about it and no send me emails which are simply pushing me further away from wanting anything to do with her or anyone in her church.

The thing is I went to her denomination at another church, and was in bible college in this denomination and you know some of the things they spoke to me, weren’t kind. I do not see any growth in that group of believers, and I have came to the point of not being willing to put my self into situation where it will be unpleasant. We are to bless G-d people and not curse them. He tells us that clearly in several places. We are not to shame them or make them feel bad, this just doesn’t win brownie points with me.
