The problem you may have is not just a question of leaving an old system for a new one of equal value. Rather it was a matter of leaving Judaism for Christ. This involve leaving shadows for the substance, rituals for reality, the prior for the ultimate, the temporary for the permanent, the good for the best, the popular for the unpopular, the majority for the minority and the oppressors for the oppressed (William MacDonald).

Jesus is Lord, can you swallow that?
