No you are not one of those people and all is cool.
What I was doing through subtly was drawing attention to the fact that all too often we make excuses for not learning things to expand our spiritual knowledge.
I’ll use a Christian and Jewish situation.
Basically in a nut shell the Jewish faith, except faiths like Jews for Jesus and others similar, do not believe Jesus is the Messiah.
Also, in a nut shell the Christian faiths teach that only through Jesus will you be saved.
But what both fail to see is this.
The Christian faiths fail to see that the Jewish faith has a Direct Covenant between G_D and Abraham. G_D Promises his covenants HE will never break.
What the Jewish faith fails to see is G_D sent Jesus for the goyim (meaning someone who is not Jewish) that through Jesus they are Grafted into the covenant that G_D gave to Abraham.
When Jesus read in the Temple a portion of Isaiah about the Messiah, he said he “Filled” a portion of those words. He did not say he “Fulfilled”. In saying “Filled” only that implies there are still parts that needed to be “Filled” before it was “Fulfilled” completely.
Jesus’ part was to “Fill” the portion allotted to the goyim.
G_D will “Fulfill” the rest and bring His covenant HE made with Abraham to completion.
In this completion the Jewish people and Christian people will be shepherded in together.
FINAL NOTE: I am talking about Jewish and Christian faiths only here.
I realize there are other faiths, but I only touched upon these two this time.
