There are some Jewish Old Testament traditions that are kept, even until today. This is an important lesson for us to learn. We should never despise another person's religious beliefs. The Lord has given me the privilege of visiting several countries, around 17-20, all over the World. I have met and shared time and food with many different peoples from many different religious backgrounds. This has been a Blessed experience for me.
God's Love and His Gospel is far greater than any differences that we may discover. We should respect other people and their cultures and not judge and find fault with them. The Message of the Gospel is that God so loved, and still loves, the people of this World, that He gave His only Son, Jesus Christ our Lord, to die as the Sacrifice for our sins. Whoever Believes in Him shall not perish, but have Everlasting Life.
If Christ came into this World to save and not to destroy, we should have this mind also as we meet and take time with non-believing peoples. Sometimes our "Christian" words can be so judgmental and destructive.
