Blue Bird,
I think you misunderstood what I wrote as I didn't really make myself clear.
When I said "Well, I only want to go by what G-d's word says in the Hebrew bible. I don't want my feelings or opinions to get in the way of what He is teaching me", I wasn't referring to not reading the Christian bible. I was referring to when you wrote "I think there has to be a blood sacrifice that counts for me"
So basically what I was saying is I don't want feelings, opinions or how I may see into what G-d's word says, I want it to be based on what is written. If it is written many times over and over again in the Hebrew bible that there are other ways to be forgiven for your sins, then that is what I am going by. The whole picture, not just a part that may suit me well.
I have no problem reading the Christian bible and even have family members who watch sermons and church services all the time which I hear quite clearly. So I completely understand the message and purpose of what is written in the Christian bible.
I just only want to follow what was given to me, as a Jewish person. What G-d gave to my people and told us to follow so that we would be as G-d tells us in Deuteronomy 4 - "for that is your wisdom and your understanding in the eyes of the peoples, who will hear all these statutes and say, "Only this great nation is a wise and understanding people. "
