Actually that isn't the book that Pastor Bittner has written (since it's only available in German until December) but rather the book I started writing on the boards yesterday.

...after saying I wouldn't write a novel...how many believed that?

Oh, sorry - I thought you wrote that based on what was in the book.

My bad.

Well, it was a great read!

And sorry, Joe!

well, part of it is....

Over the years, the "mindset" (hebrew vs greek) classification didn't seem to apply evenly. There are so many churches who are "good" and don't know anything hebraic, while there are also messianic congregations who are "not good" and look completely hebraic.

It's not as prevalent in America but our roots in the European church have planted seeds that only need water.

It was Pastor Bittner who helped me see that there is a greek imposter-spirit influencing european christianity since the beginning that is driving the way people interpret and live the scriptures. This teaching is what changed the city he comes from. Tubingen produced more war criminals (nazis) than any other city of Germany....yet recently elected it's first Jewish Mayor in 1,500 years of the worst anti-semitism you can imagine.

His new book was reviewed last week by one of the top (secular) critics in Germany, who said it was the most important book released in Germany in the last 20 years. I've been bugging him to write it for 5 years now, threatening to write it and put his name on it. LOL

I truly believe it will have a huge impact on America when it comes here in December, though we still haven't figured out a distributor yet.

suggestions?

Yes Neb that makes sense. Perhaps I'm being a sensitive Nelly . But I often feel a bit (hmm offended isn't the right word, caught off guard?) when people suggest that an academic pursuit of theology is a bad thing. I think it's only bad when it excludes a personal relationship with the God you are trying to study. But after that's all said, despite my study I'm still not that good at it .

Theres not a thing wrong with academic pursuits yet I find theological schools a bit different than say someone who is going to get a degree in math and science. I know quite a few graduates of theological schools, all of them wish they had not gone, not saying thats the response over all but in the guys I know thats the consensus. I myself enjoy reading books by scholars those who have gone on to specialize in various theologies and things, theres a need for that I think. We all study 'theology' when we study the scriptures, we practice that in some form when we come to the forums also I think. Its been my personal experience though that those I do listen to, learn from have no training in theological schools and many do not even have a college degree but what they have is a fire, a zeal for God and His word, and can teach through and with the Spirit in all kinds of ways. Now if I wanted to learn the minute details of the fall of the temple, how the church lost its hebraic roots, indepth things I would go to a person who has studied it out and can give a full account of it. I wouldn't go to a construction worker to be diagnosed with cancer ya know. There is always a need for scholars.

I like what this guy says on this subject. "Jesus said I am the truth, truth is not a teaching, truth is a person, and in that person we can always find unity."

[Guest yod]

Amen, there is no higher calling than The Truth.

On hearing that and sensing the spirit of the man I will get the book when it is released.

It's already out, it's a documentary called "Furious Love" I think you might be able to watch the full documentary on youtube. There is a book on it this film though called Filming God by Darren Wilson.
