Eddie,
I quite agree with you regarding the study of the Kabbalah. The Bible has so much within it that our lives can be devoted to its study with our never growing weary and learning all that's held within its pages. The Kabbalah is Jewish mysticism, and holds interesting items only for those who are of the "new" age philosophy. In fact, it probably has much to do with the whole "new" age inception, since its origins are ancient. I was once a "new" age thinker, and found the Kabbalah interesting and a proponent of those things I wanted to believe. A Christian should only approach it, if at all, with great caution, and with Biblical discernment in mind. A Chrisitan should in NO WAY give any credence to it as a help in their walk with Christ.
God bless you. Brenda Powell
