I am starting to work more with my blog. I also have a very important new project as well. The new project is starting a Bible study/potential new church in our area. I am a gay male and I am also Messianic. I use the term Messianic because I believe the word Christian has been tarnished by a lot of these Bible thumping, ignorant, red neck, bigoted, hate filled Christians. Believe me I know, I am related to a lot of them.
I began going to a Messianic church. This is a church that still follows the Jewish traditions with the addition of the belief in Jesus (Yeshua) as the Messiah. If you are a believer, you know that Jesus (Yeshua) was Jewish and he followed the Jewish Traditions. One of the major beliefs is that Shabbat (the Sabbath) is on Saturday and not Sunday. Also the days actually start at sundown the day before. This is just one of the many traditions and beliefs that I have found to be true. The only LGBT church in our area is a wonderful church, but it does not share that belief system. There are other churches that open themselves to the LGBT community but they follow the same Constantine-ian idea regarding Sunday as the Sabbath. “In 321 CE, while he was a Pagan sun-worshiper, the Emperor Constantine declared that Sunday was to be a day of rest throughout the Roman Empire:”.
Together we can reclaim our religious traditions and beliefs through study and prayer. I do not know all the answers. All that I know is that I am, who I am. That G_d loves me and I am one of his children.
Please contact me if you have any questions that I can help find the answer.
