When I took on the task of learning Judaism, I was told that I would have to forget everything I had previously learned. Later, I learned that this idea of becoming familiar to Judaism is like experiencing a rebirth, which I believe is what born again Christians talk of, but couldn't explain to me clearly. At one point in my faith, I was ready to admit to myself that I hadn't a clue what being a born again Christian meant, and it took wise Jews to be able to explain this concept to me so that I could understand, and that when one takes on the Legal system of Judaism a radical reorientation occurs.
Now, the same is happening with respect to the idea that Christians say that their body is as a temple. When I was exploring Christianity, I hadn't a clue what that meant, but now here I am able to read and understand the parallels between the human body and the Tabernacle. However, that doesn't mean I am going back to my old ways, as some sort of very confused Messianic Jew.
