What blows my mind is how they say that the 'old' God didn't save, but the 'new' god is the old god, but now saves. (oh only if you 'believe' in him, but 'believing' in the 'old' god is not good enough and won't save you...it has the be the new version..which is the same as the old...
No, I dont' think so. Or we have this situation to consider.
Remember the Torah of my servant Moses, which I commanded him at Horeb to all Israel, the rules and regulations. 5 Look! I am going to send to you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and awesome day of Yahweh! 6 And...
Thanks all for the input. I think I just sometimes have to stop for a minute to cry in my beer. :D Most of my situation delves from being (very happily) married to a Baptist with a Baptist deacon FIL. While they are fairly supportive, any voicing of conversion would have them come running with...
I wanted to add one little thing if I could. Consider this scenario.
My grandfather would be considered Jewish by standards here, yet he never cared for, or followed HaShem his entire life. He married my grandmother and never required her to convert- he let her raise their children (my...
Hello, no, I'm sorry, I wasn't addressing your post, I do not believe I even read it. I was addressing the OP's post about ex-Christians, which I fall into that category.
Well I define Christianity as being a follower of Christ, believing he died on the cross and resurrected, died for human...
Well I fall into the former Christian category. I likened it to a radiator that got a pinhole leak. I can tell you what I think caused the pinhole. At this time I had actually picked up the bible and started reading from the beginning, for the first time really paying attention to what was said...
Speaking of Lot (I just read the other thread), I heard a story, or rather a teaching I guess you would call it, that stated the reason Sodom was destroyed was that they were violating the 'threshold covenant'. I didn't see that specifically mentioned anywhere in the other thread's responses. Is...
This is excellent, thank you. Much the same for me. I also never knew or understood any of the contradictions, I did not realize there were half omissions and so many changes. I did not even know the order of the books was changed to make the 'old testament'. I thought it was an exact replica of...
I am finding lots of what they say infuriating now, I am trying to overlook it but it is so hard. I see so much now, I want to shout it from the rooftops. Instead I need to learn to be quiet. lol
Thank you Zardoz for your fantastic advice all. Makes perfect sense, wonderful!
I will check out that book, also. Do you have any recommendations for study online- Torah & Kabbalah?
It is so nice to have people understand what I am talking about. :)
I have a Christian friend who I am having a discussion with, about the Messiah. Of course he believes Y'eshua was the messiah and was either fully HaShem or divine/subordinate to HaShem. (It is hard for me to keep track of what each Christian believes in that dept.)
Well he stated yesterday...
Thank you Zardoz, I always look forward to reading your replies, they are always a comfort and a help to me. I will elaborate just a little more on my story to give some backdrop. About a year and a half ago, after finding paperwork about our family genelology in our grandmother's house, life...
Hello group, I am still around, reading posts as they come up. I feel I am still progressing, still moving, and I know I am moving even further away from ties with Christianity. A friend mentioned that just 'grazing' the edges of Judaism in real study with an open mind would just open the...
