From my understanding, Paul addressed himself, and his letters to the representation of the Body of Yeshua in given cities or areas. The building churches were not yet in existence, most worship was in homes. Whether this is clear to all or not, my own experience when I fellowshipped face-to-face with my beloved brethren it was a disaster. The elder dubbed me demon possessed when I related that Jesus Christ was a Jew. This was in the presence of the entire congregation. My only defense in words was the following, "The God I worship is the God of order and not of chaos, if anyone here indeed sees that I have a demon, by all means please cast it out, because no one would receive that gift without being also capable of casting it out." There was utter silence, a few mouths opened in silence as a departed their presence. I do not condemn them for having their blinders on, but I am not about to experience this again with congregations who hate Jews so much they will deny the birth roots of the Savior. No there was no more to the story, that is exactly what occurred over 40 years ago. I believe Jesus, Yeshua, and if it bothers or hurts other possible`Body Members, then it is my duty not to expose them to my practice of worship. I love anyone who loves Yeshua, Jesus, for Who He was and is, but I cannot endure `certain hypocrisy. Yahweh has always been present in my walk, in one manner or another, and by this I mean with His working in my life. I cannot ask for more. At that time I was traveling by thumb lots sharing the Word, and distributing Bibles free to whomever would receive them. The Lord made certain I was cared for, and I received monies from no one, yet the congregation could not see I was alright, praying aloud in my presence for the Lord to give "Jack a job," although I was not a burden to one of them, not in the slightest, not a penny, not a bed to sleep in. Yet they were worried I was not working, enough to feign asking God in my presence so I could hear, to get a job. Go figure on that one. I was sharing the Word in several States, not a burden to anyone, distributing free Bibles, and all they could see is I was not working. I never did quite get that one. They are still beloved but totally close minded in my humble esteem. Also, I keep in mind the Lord told me in a dream, long before that my way is different, dark, a rough road going up, and the words, "There will be no trees on this way." I do not run my life by any dream, but it sure seems to be true.
