Answers To How One Might Conduct Oneself In A Very Christian Environment.

Remember that in a world of Christians what better way to reach them then to know them. If you came from a church environment or church background it may have been Yahweh's will. You received knowledge of how to reach them. Many a good Nazarene Rabbi who knows the word will often still use the King James Bible to reach a Christian. This is so because most of them see it as still being the Authority regarding the Bible.

The fact that you see the world outside of Christianity is a Blessing. You were called out of Babylon. Still you may have been put there to learn what Christians think at the deepest level. I'm not saying go back to believing that. I am saying that if you know how they think and what the standard dogma is as well as them; then you can know the areas you need to be armed in. We don't deal with dogma just the word. Much in the way a true Statesman isn't really a politician.

Learn what you need to know to give an answer to all who ask. Most Christian today are as the woman at the well. Yeshua address the woman who had multiple men in her life, the one she was with wasn't even her husband. He was direct in his speech in John 4:22 “You worship you know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.” (KJV) Here Yeshua was referring to the old ways of the replacement of the faith by the kings of Israel (the northern one - House of Israel) from years past. Messiah was making it clear where the real faith was.

“But the hour comes, and now is, when the true worshipers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeks such to worship him. Elohim [is] a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship [him] in spirit and in truth.” John 4:23-24 hence it is a spiritual battle. “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high [places].” Ephesians 6:12 That's why a person may become angry when they can't combat the truth.

Your daily prayer should be that YHVH is leading you all in you ways. Psalms 37:23 “The steps of a [good] man are ordered by YHVH: and he delights in his way.”

Remember also what Proverbs 3 says starting with verse 1 “My son, forget not my law; but let your heart keep my commandments: For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to you. Let not mercy and truth forsake you: bind them about your neck; write them upon the table of your heart: So shalt you find favor and good understanding in the sight of Elohim and man. Trust in YHVH with all Your heart; and lean not unto your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct your paths. Be not wise in your own eyes: fear YHVH, and depart from evil.” Proverbs 3:1-7

People may not agree with you but they will respect you when they realize that you have truth. Learning what you need to know will help in speaking the truth and looking back to where you came from can remind you of Romans 8:28 "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love YHVH, to them who are the called according to [his] purpose." None of us live in a bubble. The real world has so many people looking for truth. Let Scripture be the authority. "All scripture [is] given by inspiration of Elohim, and [is] profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:" 2nd Timothy 3:16

There is plenty of truth to learn. Learn the true way of the Netzer The Branch Messiah and his teachings Nazarene Judaism. You may know a lot already but there is so much to know. I myself constantly study to know more. "Study to show yourself approved unto Elohim, a workman that needs not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." 2nd Timothy 2:15

Basically I would be as Rabbi Shual (Paul) told us to be. “But sanctify YHVH Elohim in your hearts: and [be] ready always to [give] an answer to every man that asks you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:” I Peter 3:15

Love always, asking questions of a friend in stead of telling. Keep in mind its a spiritual battle you are fighting and YHVH is doing most of the fighting if you let him.

Here's a good example of a question to ask a christian to make them think. Let scripture do the talking. When was the sabbath established as Saturday? Most Christian's forget that it was establish in Genesis 2 "And on the seventh day Elohim ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. And Elohim blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which Elohim created and made." Genesis 2:2-3

That's just one example that most Christians don't realize is in the Torah(Bible). Messiah used this approach. what's good enough for him is certainly good enough for me!

Shalom and Yah's Blessings
