Most of my family is Christian clergy, but my faith is strong in Judaism and I don't believe Jesus was the Messiah. How do I deal with this and tell my family so I can convert?

First off, see the quotation marks, I'm quoting Christians. (See my last question)

Now, I don't believe in the same things Christians do, nor do I really have a fondnes for your religion, or its followers.

Having said that I think most of the Christians I've met are very good people. Most, like most people, are confused, and do things that would be representative of someone who is "not good." But Christians are good people. They live by a good set of morals, they try to maintain a positive attitude towards life, and they help more than they harm.

Now I admire the modesty, but you have to start recognizing that it's okay to "sin" a little, it's the overall that matters.

In hockey there's a stat called "plus/minus" the short is that if you are on the ice when your team scores, you get a plus, and if you're on the ice when your team gets scored on you get a minus.

If you are in positive numbers, then chances are you're good.

I see so many questions that are asking why we believe something that's not proven. Well, here's the answer to that disturbing question. We have been changed in our spirits, by the Holy Spirit, and we just know. We can see another Christian, who is a TRUE Christian, and identify him/her right away by the light in their eyes. It is a sense that grows gradually stronger, as one's life with Christ does. It is something that has to be felt, to be appreciated. Having faith enough to KNOW in your heart, that no matter what, you are protected by the one who can create a universe, and create YOU. It's pretty awesome, and I'd wish it on my worst enemy!

Because he seemed to be all for it in the bible, even saying that I could bash the crap out of them as long as I didn't harm their eyes or their hands so they couldn't work.

could there have been another way of forgiving the sin of Adam or was there a larger issue involved?

should we (Christians) study other religions so we can debate, or at least know what they believe, in the event that they(non Chrsitians) try to convert us?

i have personally read the quran, book of mormon, and am starting on Hindu scripts. but reading is not enough. i also do a lot of studying on it.

anyone else do that, or am I a loner? LOL

Since it's all our free will and our choice, then let's all become good Christians and Revelations won't have to happen right?

But wait, that would mean Jesus' predictions were false....

So would us all becoming good Christians be a good thing or a bad thing, I mean on one hand humanity would be spared an Armaggedon, but on the other Jesus and God could never be wrong.....I'm sooooo confused.

Behold, the banana as God "designed it for human consumption" (before it was artificially selected by humans taking advantage of so-called "genetic variation" to be huge and seedless)

Here's another. It's God's corn that he "designed just for us." His is on the LEFT - pay NO attention to the one on the right that was modified by humans, again making use of so-called genetic variation.

Why have humans since the agricultural revolution tried to use evil evolutionary ideas to "improve" the foods that He made for us?

i understand that you will explain this verse as because Jesus was carrying so many sins then God coludn't look at him.

what's your sources that prove this twisting explanation? and why chatholics insist that Jesus and God are equal? didn't Jesus clearly called his God in heaven to help him out? isn't this verse very clear ?

is there a sign of lacking democracy ? instead to educate good people and good citizens, they rather want to gang up and establish a form of power over other persons. is this too dangerous for our democracy?
As part of science, we request to justify, and test many discoveries so that these can be applied in daily using. god is nowhere or under where when these discoveries is invented? why human must go a long time to mordern time now, and no bishop or church authority can shorten this history? This history of human is the proof for Darwin evolution theory, but why the church want to refuse it???
Evolution must be totally different with "rejection", because misunderstanding will cause you like a new next nazis. Who want to explain?

God has, and will wipe out most of humanity and start over again, so why the need for a perfect God to hit the reset button?

Generally, these people are friendly, but they always ask what religion I am and when they find out I'm (gasp!) Catholic, they want to save me from myself. I find this very rude and disrespectful since I was taught never to ridicule others' religions. Also, my kids always come to the door to see what's up and I just refuse to argue religion in front of them. I don't think religion should be "argued" at all. While I defend people's right to preach, by all means, I wish there was a way to tell people that while I respect their beliefs, I simply don't agree and would rather not get into a 20-minute argument over it. If you were at my door, what would you find acceptable for me to say? I am not the type of person to just say, "go away - I'm not interested" but that's kind of what I feel after I bend over backwards trying not to be rude and the person won't go away.

Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me.John 7:16

Then said Jesus unto them, Yet a little while am I with you, and then I go unto him that sent me John 7:33

who is Jesus speaking about "sent me". and how can catholic insist of saying God is equal to Jesus?

ANY other path. Or does every one of you think that Christianity is THE ONLY WAY, PERIOD, END OF TOPIC?

If there is one, please tell me what it is and why you believe it is an acceptable and good and "won't send you to hell" spiritual path.

The person who has a sincere intention is the one who has a sound heart; because a sound heart, free from thoughts about forbidden things, comes from making your intention purely for Allah in all matters.

The day on which neither property will avail, nor sons, except him who comes to Allah with a heart free [from evil]. (26:88-9)

The Holy Prophet said, 'The intention of the believer is better than his action,' and also, 'Actions are by intentions, and every man will obtain what he had intended.' The slave of Allah must therefore have sincere intention in every moment of action and stillness because then he will not be heedless. Those who are heedless have been censured by Allah:

They are nothing but as cattle; nay, they are straying farther off from the path. (25:44)

These are the heedless ones. (7:179)

Intention appears from the heart, according to the purity of knowledge. It varies as belief varies, at different moments in its strength and weakness. The selfishness and passion of those with sincere intention is subjugated to the power of the glorification of Allah and modesty before Him. He is by his nature, his appetites and his own desires, in a state of discomfort, and yet people find ease at his hand.
