Conversion?

Question

We are Christians, but lately my mom has been trying to switch us over to Judiasim, but I am not feeling that. I like where I am right now. I mean there is a LOT of room for improvement but I like the religion I am right now. I don't want to change.

What should I do?

Oh yeah, it's Messianic Judaism

Answer 1

Research, analyze, and decide what feels right for you. Don't "convert" or pretend to believe any theology or philosophy because another tells you to.

And, of course, Christianity is a religion, regardless of what anyone posts...

Answer 2

Messianic Judaism is in no way shape or form Judaism. Its members are not Jewish and its ideology is 100% Christian Protestant.

The only difference between a Protestant Church and a Messianic Church is some of the language and ritual the beliefs are the same.

Answer 3

You say that you are Christian. That means that when you accepted Jesus as your Saviour, a Real Spiritual Miracle occured in your Spiritman, the Real You.
The Real You, a Spirit living in a Body, got Recreated (Born-Again).
After you get Recreated, your Spirit dosen't Flip-Flop back and forth between Saved and Lost if you start sinning, get into a religion (all religions are False) become Decieved etc.
After you were Born-Again, you Are a Child of GOD, and are going to Heaven.
The only way to lose your Salvation (Spiritman Recreated), is to commit the Unpardonable Sin and baby Christians cannot commit this sin.
Religions cannot Recreate your Spirit.
When you got Saved, you entered Reality, and the Holy Spirit will lead and guide you into all Truth as you Seek the Creator, GOD Almighty.

Answer 4

I am ronald is mistaken- converting to Judaism is not a public denial of Jesus unless oyu decide that Jesus was not the Messiah. The most important question is "who do you say Jesus is?"
Our family recently converted to Messianic Judaism- My husband was the most hesitant at first because of all of the confusion about "the law" When it comes down to it, the OT , the instruction and feasts are all a picture of who Jesus is, learning about it can only give you a deeper, richer understanding of Christ, His life and His sacrifice.
I will admit however, it is a big change and most of our Christian friends do not understand.

As far as your mom goes- she can only teach you what she believes- she cannot change what is in your heart, in my opinion, I encourage you to learn the Jewish feasts and celebrations- if nothing more, your education is enriched. What you decide to do with it as it applies to oyur life is eventually up to oyu.
I don't know how old you are but when you move out, you will make and be accountable for your own decisions. Right now you are under your parents authority and as a Christian, you need to submit (except to the point of sin) Maybe you can talk to your mom about how you feel, listen to her perspective, but maybe compromise- right now we do not have a messianic congregation in our area, my daughter feels very much like you do regarding her faith- I allow her to ocntinue going to our old church for oyuth group and encourage her to participate with us in Shabbat, the feasts and Torah teachings. This works well- Jesus and who he is is the most important thing- when she moves out, how she chooses to liveo ut her faith is going to be between her and God but for now we are in charge of her teaching and training as your parents are in charge of yours

Answer 5

Jesus said you might have to give up mother, father, sister, brother to follow Him. He also said He did not come to bring peace but a sword and that your enemies would be those of your own household.

Jesus has warned of this beforehand. He has already given you the answer.

Your parents cannot bring you to heaven. Jesus is the only way.

I know it will be hard but stand your ground! You will be rewarded. If all others forsake you, God will NEVER LEAVE YOU NOR FORSAKE YOU.

Take it from me I know.

Love in Jesus' name

Answer 6

I would simply explain in a reasonable and agreeable manner, that your parents choice of religion can't be yours. Listen to them, respect them, but explain that while they can make you go, they cannot re-make your beliefs to match theirs.
I would also suggest that you spend a great deal of time in study. Talk to learned men and women that you respect, who's lives reflect their choice, and study with them.
Pray constantly, both for your parents, and the direction of your life.

Answer 7

Converting to Judiams would be a public denial of Jesus. I don't think that would be good for a Christian. I don't think anyone could force it on you. I would suggest holding you're ground. I don't think that would be considered as disobeying a parent. Maybe that is what suffering for Christ is?

NOTE: "Wiccan teen" is wrong. They couldn't make you do thast. How could they? Would they whip you till you could recite the Torah?

Answer 8

Jesus provides the truth........you should follow the truth....... Pray to Jesus to give you strength, to guide you and direct you.....

Jews believe in the Messiah, they just don't accept that Jesus was the Messiah....... But Jesus proved he was the Messiah by the miracles he performed and by the fact he resurrected from the dead.....

Answer 9
