New Post – “The False Prophet of the Church”

Okay, faithful readers, this is a biggie. Normally, when I post on my other blog, I just say that it is available if you should be so inclined.

However, for this post, I am going to ask that all my readers make time to go to the blog and read it. Well, my Christian readers, that is. After all, my other blog is where I write about biblical topics, etc.

The reason that I am asking you to either go there and read now, or to bookmark it and make time this week, is because I learned something that is absolutely mind-boggling to me: that the Jews were blameless in rejecting the Jesus that the Church presented to them. As I explain in the article, I am not denying the divinity of Jesus, that he was God’s Messiah.

Not at all.

Instead, I learned that because of the false teachings about Jesus, the Church presented a false Messiah, according to God’s own Word.

Please, please, please, take the time to read the article. If you are a regular Christian reader, you know that this is out of character for me, so you know that I believe that this is important information. My post can be found at:

Rare Opportunity For My Readers

In a post on my other blog, CSL On The Bible, I told how a book that I picked up in January has had a profound effect on my Christian faith. I cited a C. S. Lewis quote, from his short work An Experiment in Criticism, in which he wrote that some readers are so affected by a book “[t]heir whole consciousness is changed. They have become what they were not before.”

For me, that book was Sitting At The Feet Of Rabbi Jesus, by Ann Spangler and Lois Tverberg. I poured over that book for months, and then purchased Tverberg’s second book, Walking In The Dust Of Rabbi Jesus. Without a doubt, these two books have changed how I look at the practice of the Christian faith, giving me clarity at what it means to live as a disciple of Jesus Christ. Through my posts this year, I have recommended these books highly.

Today, I received an email from Tverberg’s Our Rabbi Jesus site that announced that, for a limited time, her two books, Sitting… and Walking… are available on Amazon for $2.99 each! This is part of the roll-out for her next book, Reading The Bible With Rabbi Jesus. (Guess what I’m getting for Christmas!)

So, please, my readers, in this season of giving, do yourself a mitzvah** and buy yourself an inexpensive but powerful present. Here are the links for the two books:

Sitting At The Feet Of Rabbi Jesus
Walking In The Dust Of Rabbi Jesus

** mitzvah – good deed.
