Hephzibah Fellowship

Accept anyone who is weak in faith, but don’t argue about doubtful issues. One person believes he may eat anything, but one who is weak eats only vegetables. One who eats must not look down on one who does not eat, and one who does not eat must not criticize one who does, because God has accepted him. Who are you to criticize another’s household slave? Before his own Lord he stands or falls. And he will stand. For the Lord is able to make him stand. (Romans 14:1-4 HCSB)

Today Straits Times ran an article about the "New Orthodox". In the article, it describe Dr Augustine H H Tan's church, Hephzibah Fellowship, worship on Sabbath, eat kosher food and observe the Levitical feasts.

Actually I have no objection to such practises as long as it does not add to the Gospel of Christ and does not contradicts the Epistles to Galatians and Hebrews. However, if any love these so much that they decide to revert to Judaism, then they are in danger of idolatory. They love Israel more than the God of Israel.
