In reply to What am I? Not Christian. Jewish?, posted by juanantoniod on October 12, 2003, at 18:32:49
My trouble is that I am Jewish to my soul. Jewish theology and philosophy and ways of being resonate with me. I do realize that being Jewish is a communal endeavor, not an individual one. And I haven't had the chance to form a community bond.
The Rabbi I consulted said that God cared more about unity in a family than he did where I worshipped Him. So I worship God in my own idiosyncratic way in a Christian church that accepts me and agrees to disagree about many of my beliefs (for the most part. I swear there was one family that thought I was... well never mind.)
But sometimes it hurts to not be able to follow my heart when it comes to God.
