The Creator does not change (Malakhi 3:6) and his mitzwot (“commandments” ) does not change (Devarim (“Deuteronomy”) 13:1-6).<br /><br />So to be in a relationship with the Creator one must observe His mitzwot in His Torah, which includes not eating pork, celebrating Shabat (for example not working on it) and many other mitzwot in Torah.<br /><br />I think that the website <a href="http://www.netzarim.co.il" rel="nofollow">Netzarim</a> will be of interest to you. It contains logical and scientific research, previously unknown to most Christians, about the first century Ribi Yehoshua (ha-Mashiakh, the Messiah) from Nazareth and what he and his followers taught. His teachings are in accordance with Torah, the instruction manual, of the Creator to humankind.<br />All the best, Anders BranderudAnders Branderudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12590420531095058999noreply@blogger.com
