Rabbi,
I don’t know where I belong..
Each Denomination seems to be riddled with legalism, prejudices and antisemitism…
I find Modern Christianity has become little more than a platform for Man’s agenda…I could not say “nothing more” as I do feel there has been souls saved in the scheme of things…but much false teachings running ramped, some of which I fell prey too..until I began digging for truth..
I am a Christian trying to find my place and where I belong so I can serve our Lord Jesus Yeshua…I am a truth-seeker…Please help in praying for G-d to guide my footsteps..
