    Introduction

    One close friend I have there knows I do. The rest do not know. But neither have I felt a need to share yet. I started a community to open interactions between Christians of all denominations, and even non believers, of all walks and traditions, to support one other. I myself being a Messianic...

    Introduction

    I attend a Russian Orthodox Jewish synagogue, and am a disciple of Yeshua, and I love theoretical physics (PBS Space Time my favorite YT channel). You are the reason I started this community. Shalom and welcome. You are among friends.

    Modern day Judaism vs Christianity

    Not to start a whole new trail here, but for sure we both agree that the verse simply refers to death period. It doesn't matter what manner of death it is. To be clearer though, there are other references than the death of the high priest and the release of the one convicted of manslaughter...

    Regular Religious Jews View on Church and Mosque

    Any place a Jew suspects idolatry, is a place a Jew is forbidden to go.

    Modern day Judaism vs Christianity

    Numbers 35:25. The death of the high priest enabled the one accused of manslaughter to leave from his protected exile, and nullified the right of the avenger of blood to kill the manslaughterer. The death of one unrelated to the crime, but who was anointed for Godly service, enabled justice to...

    Modern day Judaism vs Christianity

    The death of a righteous man atones the greater he is, some for the community, some for the nation. How much more so the death of Messiah who comes at the head of the nation, firstborn of Creation whose death atones for the whole world. It is through this that teshuvah or repentence leads to a...

    Modern day Judaism vs Christianity

    I am an Orthodox Jewish disciple of Jesus. Judaism teaches that a person is judged by their deeds in a balance, that hell for the most part is a temporary but harsh place of extreme spiritual embarassment for the imbalance that remains, that repentence is the means to righting many of one's...

    Abused at work

    May the Lord bless you with wisdom to know how to tread the waters ahead, and may he bless you with the opportunity you need to survive, and thrive, and may you receive His protection to guard you in your way as he navigates you to cleaner waters.

    I'm sad today

    The greatest antidote to sadness is gratitude. Start praising G-d for everything, including the trials you face, since even those are for our good, and you might just find your entire day getting better. :)

    How do you lose your "Salvation"

    The scriptures write "every knee will bow" - this alone plus others like it, prove that once the falsehoods of this world are burned away, and all that remains is G-d in His infinite glory, that to reject G-d then would be impossible. Even the most hardened sinful atheist will be one of those...

    May G-d open the opportunity you seek. May you find Him carrying you all the way there. :)

    Rejection by family because of the Gospel

    Sharing the gospel with anyone, is always by a G-d given opportunity to do so. And even then, sometimes sharing the gospel simply means helping a person go from one level of understanding to another, closer to the gospel, and maybe not even all the way. After all, it is G-d who writes the story...

    Roe is Defeated - The Battle is Engaged

    Halleluyah! The first and largest enemy of those waiting to be born, has been defeated in America. G-d has shown his mercy to this nation, and this nation has begun the process of repentance. I pray that the Mega Drought is finally over. May the war be won for the forces of righteousness...

    Has the Holy Spirit explicitly led you to keep the Sabbath?

    The phrase "given you" and "stay where they are" makes all the commandments of G-d relative to your frame of reference as to wherever you are: Ex 16:29 Bear in mind that the Lord has given you the Sabbath; that is why on the sixth day he gives you bread for two days. Everyone is to stay where...

    Has the Holy Spirit explicitly led you to keep the Sabbath?

    It could be an interesting argument to make if not for the fact that the commandment to observe the Sabbath was given at Mt Sinai, far from Jerusalem. But in stead of forcing us to rely on this logic, instead the scriptures come to help guide us to a more evidential conclusion: Lev 23:3 There...

    Has the Holy Spirit explicitly led you to keep the Sabbath?

    Actually it's pretty specific: "and there was evening and there was morning, the 6th day." Meaning the 7th would have begun in the evening. What is silent is the location. Hence why the ruling is wherever it is evening for you when the sun sets on the sixth day, it is therefore Sabbath, the...

    Is Jesus really returning soon?

    All nations refer to the 70 nations in the bible (the listed descendants of Noah). These have already been reached. Messiah could come at any moment. Even the rabbis acknowledge this.
