    Re: Hello, everyone!

    My story of filthy deprivation began in Moscow, Russia, where I grew up. My parents taught me to be a "nice" person - kind to people and animals, responsible and a good student at school. There was, however, no mention of Jesus, the Bible, or salvation. They did not know and coud not tell my brother and me. When I was 15, some American missionaries came to Moscow and my mother was hired as their translator. She went where they went and translated their preaching into Russian. For the purposes of translation she had to use a Bible so she ended up reading a lot of it in a relatively short period of time. The power of God's Word brought her to repentance and she started attending a Baptist church in Moscow and took my brother along. I refused to go, however, and so did my father. When I was 17, I graduated from high school and moved to the United States. By then, I was a smoking addict and also could not live without coffee. I stayed with some elderly farmers in Wisconsin and milked cows in exchange for room and board. I babysat their grand kids and got paid by the kids' mother. I did not take money and instead asked her to buy me cigarettes, which she did. I was lonely, depressed and homesick but there was ko way to return to Russia. Eventually I hit bottom and was contemplating suicide. Cigarettes were no longer helpful so I did not know what to do. That is when the people who fixed the farm machinery told me about the Gospel and what the Bible meant for me personally. As I had mentioned already, I had hit bottom, so the only way from there was to make an effort to better myself or, better yet, to let The Lord change me. And change me He did! I started reading the Bible and found solace and contentment in knowing that no matter where I was and who I was with (within reason, of course) I was no longer alone because I was with Christ and had brothers and sisters in Him - people who live to serve Him and please Him. I also became His servant and do my best to please Him every day with my life, serving my husband and raising the children who will also give their lives to His service.

    Jewish isn't a nationality, friend.

    Jews are Semites, racially pretty much the same as Arabs. Unless you're an Ashkenazi Jew, they're some sort of Eurotrash mutt.

    But there is no nation of "Jewia". "Israeli" is a nationality, but you're Russian, and that's your nationality.

    So stop calling yourself a Jew unless you identify as a Christ-killer.

    I am of Jewish descent (so was king David, the Apostle Paul and John the Baptist, so I guess I am in good company) and I have come to know my Messiah, the Lord Jesus, which, I believe, makes me a Christian. If I am in error here, please forgive me, it is not intentional...

    Welcome friend, I am pleased to peaches you have decided to quit your filthy ways and do your best to be accepted into the bosom of Christianity.
    Tell us your story or deprivation and subsequent redemption, discovering Jesus was willing to fulfill your needs. No detail is too sordid.

    The reason you are considered unsaved trash can be found HERE. In fact, there are a couple threads found at the top of the Introduction Forum (the only forum you can start a thread in) that clearly explain this. You should have read them before posting.

    "Noobs" please read this before posting.

    READ THIS BEFORE YOU FLAME US!


    Now, please tell us what church you go to, what your favorite Bible verse is, how you found Jesus superior to your childish rabbinical nonsense, and why you still call yourself a joo.

    My favorite Bible verse is Romans 11:26-27. I go to a Russian Baptist church in Port Charlotte , FL - it is an independent Baptist Church. I came to follow the Lord Jesus while living on a farm in Wisconsin. A couple - man and wife - Americans - the husband worked at the farm fixing machinery, told me about the Good News of Jesus' death and resurrection and Gave me a Bible in Russian (actually a Russian rendition of the KJV.). That is how I found salvation and my Lord found me. When I mentioned being Jewish, I merely pointed out my origin, in Russia this was considered a question of nationality and did not denote an adhearance to a particular religion. I was actually brought up in a secular household as we're most children my age in my country.

I am a Jewish woman and have been a devout follower of my Lord Jesus Christ since Ovtober 10, 1990. I had the blessing of sharing the Lord Jesus and the good news of His sacrifice and His resurrection with my husband Alex, whom I married once he became a follower of the Lord Jesus.
    So which are you, Jewish or Christian?
