Page 8 - Attractive Deception - The False Hope of the Hebrew Roots Movement

I urge you also to consider the wisdom declared by King Solomon.

Proverbs 18:13
He who answers a matter before he hears it, it is folly and shame to him.

Before you reject my message without giving it a hearing, I would entreat you to remember the
words of Nicodemus as he addressed the chief priests and pharisees.

John 7:51
“Does our law judge a man before it hears him and knows what he is doing?”

If you believe you are to keep the Law, then does not the Law say you should hear before you judge?
If you will hear what I have to say, and afterward you still believe that it is God’s will for you to be
governed by the Law, or to conform yourself to various Jewish customs, then you have lost nothing.
You will have spent only a little of your time in exercising the fruits of the Spirit which include
patience, gentleness, and humility. You will have treated a brother in Christ with love, and that is
a far weightier matter in Yahweh’s sight than a great many things. If, on the other hand, you find that
the Spirit of Christ is speaking to you through what is written, you will have gained much.

May you be blessed with peace and understanding in these days,

Joseph Herrin
