    Am I saved?

    It doesn't make too much sense to me, from a practical standpoint, that you fear not being one of the saved elect so much that you would go back to your old life. That's rather self-defeating, but what do I know. :p He said, "Get away from evil doers! I never knew you." So, I ask you two...

    Wanted to say hi here, too

    I meant they disowned me. I was in Juilliard in NYC. They stopped supporting me and wouldn't talk to me. I was brought up conservative Jewish.. and for a time we were orthodox.. Milk and Meat dishes for regular and Passover sets... The whole 9 yards, actually... Things changed over the...

    Wanted to say hi here, too

    you're welcome. :) According to the dictionary definition of a story, one is told for entertainment. So, I rather see this as a testimony than a story, per se, but thank you :D

    Wanted to say hi here, too

    Hi, I'm a Jew. I've been a believer in Messiah, since I was 19 years old.. that's saaaaaaaaay... 36 years. Wow. Long time. Yeah. I was reading the NT in secret, so no one would think I was becoming a "goy". When I got to the sermon on the mount I had a genuine encounter with the...

    Doctrine Poll

    The older I get, the simpler things get. For me, it's about relationship, closeness and obedience. Don't get me wrong, your poll questions are important. For me? Day to day, they don't help me in my pursuit of God. :)

    What A Wonderful God!
