I totally agree and understand what you are saying.
Both James and Hebrews speak to me, a 'gentile' and many passages in the OT especially Psalms speak to me. The gospels speak to me. But I am learning through the Spirit how to discern what pertains to the Jews and what pertains to the gentiles and what pertains to both the Jews and Gentiles.
I really appreciate the Holy Spirit revealing God's Word to me/ to us. God raises teachers/pastors as mentioned in Ephesians 4:11 to explain the scriptures to us, but it is the Holy Spirit in us who cautions us not to be tossed to and fro with every wind of doctrine that is out there. And just so you know, I am still learning..I don't have everything 'right'.
Thanks again for your input OBW.
