Re: Shalom, Friends

Thank you Jedidiah; I read the story but Revelation is a little hard for me to grasp. There is a book I picked up that explains how Ezekiel and Daniel go with Revelation and prove the new testament as being real and I have to admit I see some ties there but all the vials and trumpets and seals are confusing to someone that was raised on the Torah.

I can't say I deny Christ right now because I just was never taught of him. A guy in my dorm is a Christian and I think he's Baptist but I need to ask him. He gave me a new testament and told me to start with John and then ask him questions. Why wouldn't the Jewish people of old accept Christ if everything was fulfilled in Him? He tore down so many traditions that I think this is what made people angry but if He really is the Messiah you would think that modern times would have been the time to appear.

Anyway, thank you for being kind and I hope to learn more here.

I think it's really nice that you are learning about Christianity through God's favorite forum! Better you learn from us than the liars elsewhere on the internet. If you need help understanding, just ask me. I won't be mean, I promise that I will explain in simple terms with biblical backup.
I believe our goals on here are mutual. To learn more about the Baptist religion and grow closer to God.

Re: Shalom, Friends

This is definitely something to consider, Morton. If you play your cards right, you could even stand amongst the 144,000 (Revelation 7:2-8) who will turn away from Christ-denial during the great tribulation. We True Christians™ will have already been raptured by then, so it will be up to the 144,000 to spread Christ's teachings during the last days.

Please play close attention to our example of righteousness while you still can, since we expect to be raptured any day now.

Re: Shalom, Friends

Don't get us wrong here Morton, we're behind the joos because of prophecy in the Bible (KJV1611) and Armageddon, the end times, and the return of Jesus. It's especially important that we collaborate these days considering we have the mooselimb Obama in the White House.

Indiana University in Bloomington supposedly has a good music school. Maybe you should look into taking up music Morton. We could use some more good Christian music, and the joos seem to do a good job at it once they put their noses to the grindstone. Nothing quite beats Irving Berlin's "Easter Parade" and "White Christmas" when it comes to good Christian tune-smithing.

Mr. Bryan,
Yes, IU has a great music program. I do play the clarinet but I am not interested in pursuing it as a career since my dad is against guys playing woodwinds - he thinks it makes me a funny boy. Remember that I don't really know much about Christian music but I intend to learn if you'll let me. The songs of our faith are mostly derived from stories of the early Jews and remind us of how the Lord always keeps us in His hand. Thank you for being friendly instead of insulting.

Hello Morton!

I think it would be awful to get the Jewish point of view on matters discussed here.

Why would it be awful, Jack?

Re: Shalom, Friends

and learning more about why you think Jesus is who my people have been seeking these many years

Tell your curly-haired friends in the tiny party hats to stop seeking. If you study the New Testament a little more closely, you'll learn that the yids found Jesus and promptly handed Him over to the Romans and got them to do the dirty work.



Yours in Christ (NOT BERNIE MADOFF),

Re: Shalom, Friends

Dr. Niles: I am here to learn more about why you think Jesus is Messiah since this is not how I was raised.

Jesus Himself tells us in the Bible that He and God are one.

John 10:30-31 I and my Father are one. Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him.

Then you fellas got all full of hatred and spite and killed Him.

Re: Shalom, Friends

A cautious welcome to you, young man.

I find it difficult to believe that a Christ killer would have anything to say to decent, honest Christians other than "sorry".

Why are you here?

Dr. Niles: I am here to learn more about why you think Jesus is Messiah since this is not how I was raised. Was it not Romans that killed Christ? I admit some ignorance about it but if it was a Jewish act I do say I am sorry even though it was not me I do not like animosity and want to break the chain if it is in my power. I don't believe you are accepting of my visit to your forum but I hope to change your opinion of me. I am only trying to explore and find truths. There is a saying that a man who judges too quickly usually finds fault too easily. I am here in friendship, not to judge at all.

Re: Shalom, Friends

Morton, I was not flirting by asking if you were married or not. That is a standard question on this forum. I am happily married with two sons.


So, are you planning on being a doctor or a lawyer? Oh that's right! You mentioned a clothing store. Sorry, forgot.


So what are your thoughts about the New Testament books you've read?

Peace to you and your husband. While I am a student I do not pay much attention to girls for papa has spent much on my education and mama wants a say in who is finally the "one." As for a future career, I want to own my father's business one day but that is only to make some money on the side. I want to do something in finance or accounting.

I think your idea of everyone being born with sin is a bit odd; there really is no concept of original sin in Judaism. This is primarily something that St. Augustine began. I think we can choose to sin but G_d's wrath and fury are to be shunned so we are to avoid sin at all costs. The Catholic saints do not seem compatible with your church from what I see here.

What does your husband do? Do you have children? Have you been to a Jewish temple? You should go just for the experience. We do not bite.

Re: Shalom, Friends

Good Sunday to you all:

My name is Morton (please don't call me Morty) Weinstein. While I hail from the progressive and modern city of South Bend, Indiana, I am currently a student at the Borns Jewish Studies program at Indiana University in Bloomington. My parents, Sam and Sheila, would cut me off from inheriting the clothing store if they knew I was posting here but I have recently begun studying the King James Bible just to see what your new testament is all about and I find your claim that Jesus was Messiah to be interesting.

When I am not volunteering at the Helene Simon Hillel Center, I enjoy reading, going to temple, and spending time with my best friend, Malachi Stern. He is another volunteer at the Center and oy the jokes he tells. Such wit from one person.

My favorite verse comes from the book of the prophet Ezekiel chapter 20, verses 19 and 20. I attend Congregation Beth Shalom or sometimes the Jewish Student Center if I am too lazy to make the walk to Temple.

I will enjoy your friendship and learning more about why you think Jesus is who my people have been seeking these many years. It is bashert that I should find you. Like my dear mama says, ask about the neighbors, then buy the house.
