CHapter 22U - Guilt-Offering
Continued from Chapter 22t 53:10: “If he would offer himself as a guilt-offering” The suffering servant as a guilt-offering Following the initial declaration that it was God’s will for the servant to suffer, the verse is written as a conditional statement.

When Faith and Relationships are at Odds
Issue of the week #2 When Faith and Relationships are at Odds "I was so strong in my faith. I was certain that when we got married that my husband would 'see the light' and join me.

Why I Am Converting To Judaism - Part 2
This is part 2 of a 3 part series by Angela Dekort about why she converted to Judaism. You can read Part 1 and Part 3 as well. After doing a lot of research on the internet, I learned about the Messianic movement. One website in particular was instrumental in my thinking: www.jewsforjesus.com. Messianics call themselves Hebrew Christians or, more commonly, Messianic Jews. They observe a lot of modified Jewish rituals and customs in their synagogues, which are often sponsoring Baptist or Pent
