Oh I thought that Budda was the way

Sometimes I visit a chat room, I used to go there several years ago. It is a Christian room, I have some different beliefs because I am Messianic. Meaning I follow the Jewish Holidays, and some of the more Jewish beliefs, I do not celebrate Christmas or Easter, and I keep Kosher. Some people have a hard time dealing with this, but this is what I feel most comfortable with and well frankly this is what Yeshua would have done to. I do not expect people to become like me, or believe like me. I don’t try to force my beliefs down their throats. I would much rather let people ask questions and share, I have found that if a person asking questions they are more open to hearing then if they are not or don’t seem interested.

Lately I been visiting the room more often, and there is this one chatter in there who is not very easy to deal with because they just do not understand I believe in Yeshua, and all that stuff. The first couple of times they had questioned my salvation I was not offended. I didn’t care after the 4th or 5th time I got annoyed. I had explain to them exactly what I had believed. Finally one day they had asked me the same question, (this is the same person who asked me all 3 times) I told them, Oh I thought that Budda was the way. I know he is not the way but I got sick of being asked over and over again I told one of my friends who a monitor in the room, sorry I just couldn’t help it. I am tired of answering the same question to them. My friend said it was funny and not to worry and then tried explaining to this person my beliefs for me. I appreciated my friend intervening for me, she is a Christian, but her and her church have started seeing things a little different. I felt like telling that person, that if this is the Messiah you know, I don’t want to know him, because he clearly don’t share G-d Attributes that G-d said he had to Moshe and many other places.

I won’t call hers a change of heart, I will call it coming into fuller knowledge. Normally I go in when I see this friend and the room I monitor in has no one there. Last night I went back to the room, and felt harassed by this person. Every time I would say something it was attacked, and finally I got probably a little rude with them, because it was like enough is enough. I am a person to and should be treated that way. I had a bad day so I am thinking I might not have handle this person correctly neither.

This person had asked someone, I was talking to in private if they where Jewish. I don’t know why but it angered me! Maybe it because since they found out what I believe and who/or what I am they been very unkind to me. I finally said something to them, along the lines of you’d don’t like the fact I am this and that is your problem not mine. But you know to be honest it still hurts. I know I don’t need people love and acceptance I only need G-d’s but when people who walk around claiming Jesus their Messiah and then act ugly toward people who are different, it is hurtful especially since we are brother and sister in the L-rd. It shouldn’t matter if a person believes slightly different. So what I hold the Feast and Festivals, so what I honor the Sabbath on Friday night – Saturday, G-d never changed it. I do not believe when Yeshua raised changed the Sabbath because I believe G-d would have informed his people.

I will not celebrate Christmas or Easter it organs are Pagan, I am sorry you can not take a holiday meant for a False god and try to make it one for G-d because it is not truly his day. I have many friends who celebrate these holiday and truly believe it to honor G-d, I disagree with them but I would never force my beliefs on them, because I don’t want to see them hurt. I have told my friends, what I believe and that knowledge is theirs to choose what to do with it. It is not my place to judge someone, because to be honest, I don’t think celebrating Christmas or Easter is going to really determine with G-d if they will go to heaven or hell… He sees there heart and I know there are a lot of people who are pure of heart and probably don’t even realize the organ of what they celebrate.
