A journey of an artist and theologian

I never thought I would ever guess that I would be going to seminary. But here I am. I had always envisioned my life being a art museum curator, living in New York or Boston, and working for some of the most competive museums in the country. My passion is the visual arts and engaging the culture that I have grown to love so much. From this class I want to learn how to engage culture, give Christianity a good name, and to develop communities that can reach out to each other.

Reflection on New Perspectives on Jesus and the Jewish people

My response from what I listened to during the lunch time discussion at the start of the Jewish conference this Thursday and Friday was thought provoking. I found many points by Dr. Mitch Glaser and Dr. Stuart Dauermann intriguing. I want to know about messianic Judaism after attending the lunch discussion and one of the forum relating to Jewish People in the Professional Context. The Jewish people uphold the Law and with that the traditions extend throughout generations . According to Chosen People Ministries envangelism to the Jews is supported by Romans 1:16 because salvation is for the Jews first and also to the Greek according to the passage. Everyone has the opportunity to know the love and grace of Christ. God is not bias he loves everyone.

I like one of Dr. Dauermann's core value for Hashiveno, " because all people are created in the image of God, how we treat them is a reflection of our respect and love for Him; therefore, true piety cannot exist apart from human decency." This statement is so true and is a reflection from what I was reseaching last week, Inclusion. The differences that we see in other people only make communities stronger because people want to engage with others and learn from their lives.
