Sir, you may believe as you wish but as for me I will submit ONLY to the G-D of Israel and to no substitutes or representatives of HIM WHO IS ETERNAL

I speak directly to G-d in my prayers and meditations. I do not and will not pray in the name of any man or being other than the ONE

I neither need nor want theologies or doctrines or the thoughts of men to interfere with my connection to HIM. If I do or do not accept Yeshua is of nobodys concern but my own and that matter is strictly between myself and Yeshua. It is not the business of any man to question or to criticize my relationships to either the G-D of Israel or with Yeshua.

I know Rabbi Yeshua well enough to call him a friend but that does not mean that I will always agree with him or bow before him. He is a man no more than I am and certainly no less but he is not my master. I am my own master in this life and in all others and so I will always be. The G-D OF ETERNITY has told me NOT TO BOW DOWN before men or the thoughts or ideas of men but to stand up straight as a man for all that is right and true in the world and in heaven. THIS I WILL DO!
