My children and I were devout born-again Christians. Let me share our story with you. I was born Jewish, but I became a Christian ni

David's Story

My name is David. I was born a Jew. When I was growing up, I had a very limited Jewish education. It was in my mid-20's when I began to feel the need for some sort of spirituality. I began to search for G-d, and I was answered by a Fundamentalist Christian -- my landlord's son, whom we'll call Jeff. He, Jeff, told me about Jesus. He told me that Jesus was my savior. He told me Jesus died for me. He told me that I needed to repent my sins and accept Jesus to be "saved". As an un-educated, non

Jack's Story

For over a dozen years I was a Jewish Christian missionary. I believed in the Christian doctrine that everyone I knew and loved, who didn't believe in Jesus, was going to burn in hell for all eternity. I became adept at using the Holy Scriptures to prove that Jesus was the Jewish Messiah. To save souls, I constantly witnessed door to door and handed out literature in Fort Lauderdale, at the airport and the beach. I taught "Jewish Evangelism" and "Christ in the Passover" seminars, in various chu

Why I Am Converting To Judaism - Part 1

This is part 1 of a 3 part series by Angela Dekort about why she converted to Judaism. You can read Part 2 and Part 3 as well. 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,

From "Messianic Jew" to Counter-Missionary - The Story of Julius Ciss

My name is Julius Ciss and I am a "counter-missionary." I work to educate the Jewish community about the problem of deceptive Christian missionaries who target Jews for conversion. I also try to bring those Jews whom they have "converted" back to authentic Judaism. Being a counter-missionary was hardly a goal towards which I had strived; rather, it was almost the inevitable outcome of a series of circumstances in my life. I grew up in a traditional Jewish home. My parents are both Holocaust su
