Understanding Christ-Centered Kabbalah
Living Epistles Ministries, located in Port Jefferson Station, New York, was founded in 1988 by pastor Shelia Vitale. Living Epistles Ministries teaches and publishes Christian-based literature from two different perspectives, The Doctrine of Christ and Christ-Centered Kabbalah.
Kabbalah, the mystical side of the Jewish religion, teaches that there are four different approaches to understanding Scripture: The simple understanding (as it is written in the translations); The moral principles behind the simple understanding; Hints (one Scripture explaining other apparently unrelated Scriptures); The esoteric (spiritual) understanding of the Scripture, also called, The Mysteries.
Christ-Centered Kabbalah teaches The Mysteries, which involves first learning the underlying Spiritual Principles upon which the Scripture is written. For example, God has promised us eternal life, and that life is in his Son. The First Contract between Jehovah and Israel promised the Israelites the benefits of righteousness, and the Israelites agreed to obey Jehovah’s Law. But the Scripture says that some did not receive true righteousness because they thought that they became righteous because they kept the Law. Only the Israelites who believed that Jehovah granted them righteousness when they kept the Law, received the Spirit of the Son.
