If a person has a fair amount of exposure to Mainstream Christianity, and a familiarity with the Bible, he may notice that Mainstream Christianity often de-emphasizes the Old Testament and puts a disproportionate amount of emphasis on Paul's epistles. I would hesitate to say that any part of the Scriptures can be overemphasized. However, if we give uncalled-for weight and emphasis to certain parts of the Bible, and neglect what the rest of the Scriptures teaches about an issue, we will probably develop and imbalanced view of that particular issue.

When we are asked by leaders in our congregations to do something or to believe something in regards to Scripture, we should always be like the Bereans and test everything against Scripture itself (Acts 17:11)... the whole of Scripture (2 Tim 3:16-17). If a person feels "led by the spirit" to speak, behave, or believe a certain way, they should test that spirit (1 John 4:1) and see whether what that spirit is telling them to do is in agreement or disagreement with Scripture.

Please note that, while the Book of Jasher is mentioned in Scripture it is, itself, not Scripture.  It is, however, a valuable work of historical reference and apocryphal literature.

What is "Jewish"?  The Hebrew word is יהודים (Yehudim) and it literally means "of Judah"... a descendant of Judah.

Yitro (the Hebrew name of Jethro) is mentioned several times throughout the book of Shemot (Exodus).  There is some potential confusion regarding his relationship with
