The Challenge of Missionaries and Cults

What is the Challenge of Missionaries and Cults? Let's find out in this post.

When I was young, my parents did not allow me to accompany my friends to church. I thought, "What's the harm?" I was curious. I wanted to see what they do in church.

Many people have scratched their heads upon finding out about my intention to convert to Judaism, wondering why I would do such a thing.  The puzzled looks come from former Christian friends and family, new non-Christian friends, as well as Jews themselves.  I usually give the short answers—because I connect with G-d that way, or because I believe in the G-d of Abraham,
