My mouth dropped, my eyebrows rose...many quick answers popped into my head. I opted to just keep my mouth shut, so as to not speak in anger or hurt. But to be honest, it is really bugging me. Because to me, she said so much more. This is what "I" heard...
"Jesus is a rebellious son and He told us that He'd keep all the rules perfectly so we don't even have to try"
"I don't like a lot of those Old Testament rules, so I'll ignore them, since Jesus was punished for my sins already"
"Hmmm, I'll keep the 'do not murder' and the 'do not commit adultery' commandments, but I sure don't like the 4th commandment...I'll worship Him on the day of MY choosing, not His"
"I want to eat whatever I like, so I'm going to ignore the food laws" (even though science has fully proven that the Biblical food laws make sense and are definitely a healthier choice)
And many more things popped into my head, for example, it's no wonder that the Jews reject Christianity's version of the Messiah. I'm not Jewish, but "I" reject Christianity's version of the Messiah as well. Yes, yes I do. Wanna know why??? Here's a great explanation...
Perhaps this is why He spells it out quite easily in the Torah, how to live, eat and worship Him. It's pretty simple really. Not complicated at all, except a lot of us are still a rebellious stiff-necked people.
The prayer of my heart comes from a Psalm of David, Psalm 139
23 Examine me, God, and know my heart;
test me, and know my thoughts.
24 See if there is in me any hurtful way,
and lead me along the eternal way.
test me, and know my thoughts.
24 See if there is in me any hurtful way,
and lead me along the eternal way.
