"I don't sense any hatred from you towards Murray as many believe." Plus a different theory about the Jews

Subject: I'd say Arnold did his job!

One thing I haven't seen on your site (it may be there) is something Murray says frequently and that is, that his job is to get you into the word of God! I'd say mission accomplished with you lol.
 
He has also said, as mentioned here, not to listen to him or any other man without checking it out in the word for yourself and he has also said he may very well lead you down "Primrose Lane". So in fairness, he gives warning lol.
 
As to the Kenites being what people see as modern day "Jews", I have a different theory. If the biblical term "Jew" actually referees to either being a descendant of Judah or a resident of Judea, one would have to conclude that a Kenite wouldn't be pretending to be a modern day "Jew", as a descendant of Judah would likely be a Christ man in this day and age (after Christ of course).
 
How would a modern day Jewish person misguide Christians? Christians simply don't listen to Jews concerning things of Christ..... So my understanding would be a kenite would be pretending to be a Christian! In no way am I saying that about you (so that you or the reader don't think I'm insinuating that)! All I'm saying is with all the confusion in the church these days, I don't see how a Jew can be so influential over people that do not adhere to their religion one iota!
 
I too believe it is not fruitful to try and pin down a race of people to "watch closely" but I do believe the land of Judea is to be watched. Anyways, just a little rant there, I don't sense any hatred from you towards Murray as many believe, I too find some teachings hard to swallow but I don't throw the baby out with the bath water as I have been inspired by the teachings as you have been in one way or another.
 
Take care!

I think that you're right about Jews,
 
Paul said Ro 2:28 For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:
29 But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.
Of course, that may be offensive to  many Jews, who are literal Jews, but not as offensive as calling them the exclusive and literal children of the devil.
 
I see what you are saying about Pastor Arnold Murray warning people, but most people take it more as a sign of his reliability.  I do think it is one of the greatest things he ever taught me.  Or maybe it was the worst thing he ever taught me, because by checking men out in the word of God I have not found any to be without leaven and every man I have ever respected is eventually revealed to be stubbornly clinging to doctrines which are not true and do not profit.
