Are you what they refer to as "A completed Jew?' Humility is the way. I agree.

Biblically, there seems to be a chain of acts on the venture cloth of repentance and salvation. pay interest the understand-how: Rom 10:17; Matt 7:24-27 have self theory it: Heb 11:6, Mark sixteen:15-sixteen; James 2:24; John 12:40 2 Repent: Acts 2:38; Acts 17:30; Luke 13:3 Confess Christ as Lord: Matt 10"32-33; Acts 8:36-37 Baptism: Acts 2:38; Mark sixteen:15-sixteen; Acts 22:sixteen; a million Peter 3:20-21; 2 Cor 5:17 and Gal 3:27 etc etc etc proceed to be honest: Rev 2:10 you additionally can seem up examples of conversion: Acts 2:22 and 36-40 seven Acts 8:4-13 Acts 8:26-39 Acts 8:a million-20 and Acts 2:6-sixteen Acts 10:a million-40 8 and 11:a million-18 Acts sixteen:13-15 Acts sixteen:23-34 Acts 18:8

David,
You are a Christian. Stop this evil and deceptive form of missionizing. It degrades Christianity.

. It is, by definition, impossible for it to be "jewish" to believe in jesus. "Jewish" is, by defintion, what jews have historically and contemporarily believe. Since in neither scenario do we find "believing in jesus", then we must clearly realize that belief in jesus is not something "jewish". You can call it "biblical" (and still be wrong), but certainly not "jewish".
. On the side, the subject of Isaiah 53 is promised a "long life" and "seed" (i.e. physical children). Clearly this isn't about jesus.
. And Isaiah 7 is clearly not messianic if you read the whole chapter. and "alma" doesn't mean virgin either. You'd know that if you spoke hebrew (I guess it wasn't part of your "extensive jewish upbringing", huh?)
. On the side, Isaiah 9 can't be about jesus since, according to christianity, he's the "son" not the "father" (as the verse states). Nor did he have control of the government (to the contrary, the roman government killed him). And he certainly did not establish "endless peace".

oh, and lastly, I've decided that you truly epitomize everything I find intensely intellectually unsatisfying about christianity. (And you clearly do not understand hebrew.)

Answer 4

Regardless of Jew or Gentile, being proud of ones accomplishments is not necessarily a bad thing. But acting proud might be. Know inside the job you did was great but humble yourself by knowing you could have always done better.

Answer 5

I, since I'm a Christian, say one must humble himself and follow Christ.
I strongly disagree with those who said on must be proud of himself. It is the cause of many problems.

Answer 6

I've watched people who are proud as they strut about and talk all over their faces. I've seen them take on a lot and make huge asses of themselves. Sometimes I think they are living life to the fullest, sometimes I think not. prefer to be humble and do my work in relative obscurity.

Answer 7

I am a Budhist and I try to remain soft and humble generally.

Answer 8

The way in which you phrased your question indicates that pride surely rules your thinking.

Answer 9

Please stop saying you are Jewish.
If you have chosen to follow Christ you are a Christian who has turned his/her back on thousands of years of tradition and history.
If I were you I'd be ashamed.
