Hebrew Roots movement has been growing. I had first contact with it 20 years ago and this surge has not slowed down. I have good friends that have gone over into it full bore. Some now refer to themselves as Rabbi, one of them is female. These have gone crazy with it. It's an obsession but don't tell them that
It was a few years back I arranged a meeting with a couple that were upset and wanted to re-educate me when from the pulpit I said (in a moment of levity) that I am also grateful for Jesus setting us free from the law so I can enjoy shrimp and crab legs. We had an interesting discussion. At the start I took initiative by looking at the wife and reassuring her/them that there needs to be no division between us. So I asked her (she is the radical one) if the OT Hebrew dietary laws are a matter of salvation to her, them and all of us under the Blood of Jesus. She didn't want to answer me straight up. I asked her again. Crickets. She knew the answer to that question.
We settled on the issue, that in fact the OT dietary laws make for a good diet. She started boasting that she is in much better health, but I made it clear she was no more saved for it.
One day in our local grocery store I stood in line behind a "troubler" that had the cashier lady totally in despair over what to believe...because he was so prepared in his argument. When he walked I gave her a simple verse and helped her get back to faith. She said "I'm so glad you were next in line, so timely". That is the Holy Spirit, ma'am, I replied.
The Judaizers are everywhere. I just don't understand the attraction. I guess Jesus is not enough for them.

Interesting testimony. Only became aware of it the last 2 years and reading some things online.

Bacon vaccine immunity is a real thing! I practice it faithfully and I am never sick!
