Jewish Conversion to Mormonism!

- Опубликовано: 6 сен 2024
- What is it like to be raised in a Jewish family but find that the Mormon Church is the church you need to join? Gale Boyd tells her experience of feeling the spirit in the Mormon faith, finding similarities with Judaism and eventually deciding to convert to the Mormon Church.
Gale was young when she began looking for a Church to join. While she was raised with Jewish influence, she wasn't brought up by fully devoted Jewish parents. As she looked for a Church, she began investigating Mormonism and expressed her feelings of being "at home" when she entered a Mormon chapel.
Watch for her full conversion story:)

I’m also a Jewish to lds convert. I was raised Jewish and my whole family is Jewish and when I was a sophomore in college I joined the church. It’s so cool to see that someone else went through so many of the same things as me. I wish I could meet her!
Charlotte Rose 🌹 I am a Jewish Born, member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Are you aware of any Jewish, Mormon Groups on the internet?
@@miemartine2216If there isn't one then there should be one.
@@miemartine2216 hi maybe you can also meet the descedents of those who came hundreds of years ago from Jerusalen to America and the book of mormon talk about and many has converted and has come to the knowledge of their parents, tha lamanites
Im of Nephite descent as are the majority of Polynesia. Some Polynesians have a mix of Lamanite blood as well. Those that left Jerusalem 600 years before Christ, namely; Lehi and his family, then later, Ishmael and his family, are descendants of Joseph, who was sold into Egypt. The Jews today, are of Judah, the older brother of Joseph. The Lord preserved the Nephites even to this day, through the curiosity of Hagoth, the son of Alma the Younger, who built ships and set forth into the ocean. The two tribes that are known to walk the earth today, are of Judah and Joseph. The Native Americans and Polynesian people have already been genetically linked. Native American tribes speak and write Hebrew, in particular the Mik maq an eastern Algonquian language of Nth America derives from Hebrew. The remaining 10 lost tribes taken captive, shall return from out of the regions of the north. The Kohanim (decendants of Aaron, the Levites) are amongst us in many nations, however, the Kohanim priests, have been offering pure sacrifices under the direction of the Saviour, throughout this, the last dispensation before his return. The pure bloodline of the Kohanim priests coincides with the pure sacrifices offered up. I am of the bloodline of Hagoth, who is buried in my country, he who gave homage to the Lord by taking a portion of scripture to name our land, even Aotearoa. Which means, "love the world"... God so "loved the world" he gave his only begotten son....God bless each of us.
So now your kids will be born in the covenant twice
I'm meeting with Elders today to ask them some questions but I've already made the decision to join LDS. Thanks 3 Mormons for all the work you put into this channel you guys are awesome 👍
Les Clark That's so awesome! We're so excited for you. If you want to send us your conversion story (clearly we love conversion stories haha) feel free to message us on Instagram @3mormons. Either way, congrats on your coming baptism :)
Les, Ask a LOT of questions! Ask them if the Jesus they believe in is really God or just a part of the godhead. Ask them is their god is the God who made everything or just organized it and is only the god of this universe. Ask them if their god was once a man who came to perfection. Their god was literally created by Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother - physical sex - and they believe that Satan is the brother of Jesus. Is this the "religion" that you want to follow? Pray for the truth. They also believe that God has a body of flesh and bones unlike the God in the bible who repeatedly tells us that he is a spirit. He also tells us in Genesis that Jesus will come to save the world. And our God created the angels, like Satan, who disobeyed God and became the evil one. Satan was not born along with Jesus.
Les, ask many direct questions. I will bet you that they will deflect your questions and not give you a direct answer. They will also hide many things until you are baptized, and THEN, after it is too late, you will find out all these things I am telling you. Beware of false prophets, Les!
The one true God is the creator of all who always was and always will be. There is no other God.
Les Clark congratulations. I still meet with the Elders weekly and it is an amazing lesson full of spirit and laughter. When hearing others detract from our faith remember Article 11 of the Articles of Faith. It has helped me get through so much. ❤
That's wonderful!
I hope you have or had given yourself pause to reflect and meditate on the action you were intent upon making. I found myself in the position you were in several years ago, became a member of the LDS Church, even happily embracing the "calling" to go on a mission...only to regret that I had committed myself to these people and their insular social culture/"church community" (the reality being you are "joining" a community of fellow believers, not just following a spiritual pathway). Once you become a member (which includes forking over at least ten percent of your income for the rest of your mortal existence) you'll soon discover that those cheery, just good all-around Latter Day Saints are judgmental, pathologically obsessed with looks/money, status conscious, believe in multiple gods, think of Satan as their (and Jesus Christ's) "brother", are encouraged to lie to non-Mormons (even to the point of criminal fraud) , to say nothing of their explicit demands that you follow and believe EVERYTHING their leaderships commands, even if they end up contradicting themselves. I will never get those years back. Think carefully about what you're getting involved with.
When I was a missionary in Texas the Church developed a set of missionary discussions to teach Jews the true Gospel of Christ. We discussed Old Testament prophets, followed by the prophecies there of the coming of Jesus Christ and his life. Then we demonstrated the New Testament scriptural accounts of his life that fulfilled, one by one, each of those prophecies. My companion and I were selected to try these discussions out in the Austin area. There was a Jewish adult woman who was interested in the Church and we taught her these new discussions. The Holy Ghost was powerful in those lessons! It was such a joy, such a miracle, to watch her gain a testimony of the Savior, and then of His Church, this Church. I'll never forget it.
Love your story Gale. I was a "gold" investigator in Taipei Taiwan in 1983. Nothing beats personal revelation from Father that we found our home in this amazing place called church but to me it's where God is. I see His grace, mercy, love, beauty and glory. Simple as that.
I love hearing conversion stories of other LDS members , I have been converted to the church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints 31 years ago ( I was 26 when the Missionairies rang my doorbell ) and I have never regreted it , and I also met my Eternal Sweetheart in the church after 3 years of membership !!
I met a Jewish convert to the church on my mission. He was doing a fireside and talking about his book: "So How Come a Nice Jewish Boy Became a Mormon." - By Norman Rothman. I still have his book .
KevlarX2 That sounds awesome! How was the fireside?
Well, for us missionaries it was great. We enjoyed it. Some of the members though were skeptical about him. They felt he didn't have official sanction from the church to be going around speaking at firesides and such. He felt it was his mission to talk about his conversion story. We didn't really understand the members reactions then, I still don't. (I wonder how they would have felt about you guys now?) LOL! Anyway, I know he became good friends with Gordon B. Hinckley the last 20 years of their lives. In fact, I think he and President Hinckley died the same evening back in 2008 I think?
KevlarX2 amazing... I will have to look this up!!!
KevlarX2. I was in Bro Rothman’s ward. He was an awesome man. Very inspiring.
Gayle! You are Ashkenazi. I am too. And like you, I am a Golden convert. Joined by baptism at age 19. Served my mission Southern States. Heavenly Father spoke to me when I was seven and said: I am with you. Luvya Gayle.
Thanks for interviewing Gayle Boyd :) - I really enjoyed listening to this one. I've been impressed with her comments from time to time on the quora website, in answering questions about our faith, so it's nice to get to know her better through this interview, and see the different perspectives coming from a Jewish convert :)
Protestant churches say you should not trust your feeling, yet this woman felt the Holy Ghost the moment she stepped in the door. The Holy Spirit does testify to truth, you can feel him fill that void of longing in your soul.
Hi! I was curious why trusting in feelings is a reliable method?
I LOVE conversion stories. As a new convert seeing those people who have become mormon from many different walks of life and been successful in this church is so encouraging to me. I have come from a JW and Anglican background and although I am older. It make me happy that so many others who had it harder have taken this road to Heavenly Father and the Saviour and have only had their faith increase. God is good!!!
@DRJEFFRIESSAYSLDS IS ATHEOLOGICALCULT Google ''Answering the CES Letter You Tube''. Those videos EXPOSE the deceptive tactics of the author of the CES Letter Jeremy Runnels. ruclips.net/video/3bm6Npd1Hjw/видео.html (Book of Abraham debunks anti-LDS Lies) DEBUNKED THAT ANTI-BOOK OF ABRAHAM INFORMATION contained in the CES Letter.
Yes, the one, true God is wonderful. The god of Mormonism is not the same god. Answer me this - How can an omnipotent being have ever been created? Who created the original god, and the one before him and the one before him. There had to be a being that was never created. Why don't you believe in that God? The Mormon god, your god is only of this universe and he was created by Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother, a man who came to perfection. Who created HF and HM?
My God always was, always will be. He created everything. He had no beginning and will have no end. I know that I will spend eternity with Him one day and that gives me total peace.
I love conversion stories to Christianity. It makes me sad that this woman went from the chosen people to blasphemy.
Then BUZZ OFF then nuisance!
I'm happy you joined the church ,but remember that in the scriptures it states that we will be prosecuted like Christ was, because we are his disciples. The replies to your comment are a great example of this, simply keep a strong testimony and you'll be fine.
I love this elegant, down-to-earth lady!! What a powerful, intimate testimony!! I really appreciated her sharing her story! Very profound. What a great example to converts! My mother converted to the Church of Jesus Christ in Finland, when she was 20 years old, 60 years ago. This beautiful woman gave me so much insight into the challenges my mother must have face, within her family and culture. I assume that my mother has to be 20 years older. They definitely had to face deeply entrenched traditional norms that were fixed. Thank you so much for sharing this.
I just subscribed. Keep up the good work!!
Gale is one of my favorite people in the whole world! She was in my ward in Pleasant Grove, UT before we moved to Idaho. We have one very important interest in common; we both love hard rock/heavy metal. Note my favorite guitar in my avatar pic. She was kind enough to send us a copy of her book. My wife and her love her so much.
I love this story really incredible. I love the conversion stories on this channel they inspire me to keep going with my conversion. The spirit really hit me and I know what I need to do to go on with my conversion. I need to tell my parents I love them so much and I want them to understand
Ingvild, Please read my comment to Les. Pray for the truth! Peace and love to you!
Windy with a chance of Sunshine thank you but I know that this is true and I know what goes on This church has brought me incredible joy
Ingvild, The joy you are feeling is fleeting. The Mormon church will keep you on a cloud because you will be with Mormons 100% of the time. But it is a wolf in sheep's clothing. Pray for the truth. Once you are in the church you will have a hard time leaving. That is the nature of this animal. The serpent tempted Adam and Eve and they disobeyed God. He made it look so appealing, and they were in paradise! Please think about it before you "literally", take the plunge deep into the depths... My daughter took the plunge 20 years ago. At first she was euphoric, but her life has been nothing short of disaster since. But God has told me that she will one day be a Christian again. This is my hope. This is my faith in God.
And also keep in mind, Ingvild that you are to shun those who do not agree with Mormonism, even your family. No other church does that. What kind of church tells you to turn your back on those you love?
Ingvild Kvakestad Me too. Prayed for the truth and this is it. I have many friends of many faiths but this is the true Church of Jesus Christ. I am a new convert and these videos keep my conversion going as well. God bless you!!❤
Angela Duvall-Morgan thank you so much I know the church is true and I cant wait to convert I love seing people manage it god bless you too❤️❤️
Powerful story! It bothers me when people try to discredit someone's actual feelings and promptings by the spirit! Clearly, when she was younger, she was prepared for the truth... and God would not have lead her astray. He cares about each of His children. He lead her to the true, full, and everlasting gospel. What a happy story! Thanks for sharing it @3mormons
I'm so excited to find this person! Gale is so archetypal for me - I love her already.
That was a great story! I love those kinds of conversion stories. Thank you Gale Boyd for sharing and to this channel. I love what you are doing.
What an amazing story. Gale is so CAPTIVATING that I didnt want the story to end. I grew up in L.A. around a lot of Jews and Mormon Jews, and later studied at the BYU Jerusalem Center. Jews and Mormons have SO MUCH in common!
Wow! What an amazing story. Thank you for sharing.
My stepdad was a Jew who joined the church but even though he's dead now it's still important for you to know that he's "half, half jew." Even though his mother was jewish.
If you have a Jewish mother, you are considered Jewish. Full. Not half.
And this is why my children will have a Jewish home and a Jewish education.
I had much the same reaction to this sad video.
Yeshua was a Jew and had a Jewish education from the Holy Spirit. He quoted from and expounded on the Torah and the Prophets. Investigate for yourselves and you will see that Yeshua is the Messiah and will yet establish the kingdom of Israel in the foretold age of glory. The prophecies in the scriptures about the messianic age refer to a resurrected and immortal Messiah. He can’t reign forever, unless he lives forever.
“Who has believed what we have heard, and to whom is the arm of of YHWH revealed?
2For he grew up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he
had no form or impressive majesty that we should look on him, and no appearance that we should desire him.
3He was despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
4Surely he has borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
5But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
6All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and YHWH has laid on him the iniquity of us all.....” (Isaiah 53)
Shalom.
I love conversion experiences. Feast upon the words of Christ, wherefore the words of Christ will tell you all things which ye should do. 💜❤💚💙💛
As soon as she said party school in calif I knew she was talking about UCSB. I raised my kids in Santa Barbara and lived close to campus. Definitely a party school. I wouldn’t let my kids go into isla vista on Halloween. It was a drunken brawl. But i ended up having one of my daughters graduate from there. She got a great education. This was a great story.
I had a business friend who was a Messianic Jew a few years ago; I was amazed how closely their religious tenants matched LDS doctrines
I absolutely love, love conversion stories. This one was no exception. Also I thought it was funny that her parents didn't allow her to go the BYU to keep her away from bad influenced but then immediately allowed her to go to one of the worst party schools in the nation. Haha. Also she said a school which I will not name, 2 seconds later. "It was Santa Barbara". 😆
We all take different paths to the church but we all have the same goal.
True conversion! Jesus Christ lives and loves all his children!
What a remarkable story and wonderful woman of faith!
After hearing this, why would any parent not want their children to join this church if they desire to.....
Wow this is amazingly intriguing im at the same stage 21 male. Wondering if this is for called missionaries got copy of mormon book im born conservative jew and mother religiousish me still looking for what i believe i like this story because i feel a little guilt if i convert would my grandmother who escape holacoust
The guy on the right of her needs to listen more. No offence, but the story she is telling is actually pretty remarkable.
She’s adorable !
I love how you all squished in the studio. Such a sweet story.
Great video! Amazing Story!
I love this story. What an incredible woman!
Justin you got really nice hair! You should keep it like this! All you are awesome members, you’ll are truly doing Heavenly Fathers work!😇
Gail, when you were realizing that inherently inside you knew that not allowed to be at a movie on Sunday, my heart broke for you that moment. I knew you were having recollections of the Jewish Sabbath and its restrictions. I suggest you visit Israel one day and see how Jerusalem shuts down on Saturday which is the Jewish Sabbath.
We lived in Israel for 8 years. Loved the Sabbath there, especially Yom Kippur. I wish everyone could experience it.
With Small Branch Sister Teach many things...
wonderful story. Thank you!
Great video!
I love her story! ♥️
I love BOTH of those candies! 😂🤤 Love this episode! #LDSandBLESSED
I love this video. I had the same experience trying to convince my fiance to come to the Baptist church. I stepped into the building.
Not "you were Jewish", but "you are Jewish". Converting to the Gospel does not make someone no longer Jewish.
You are right. I'm Jewish.
Love this. Christ get through to every one of us.
She is still Jewish. Joining the faith one does not lose that? The church is modern day Israel?
Awesome sauce!
Hey Gale! Love your answers on Quora.
Awesome story, Thank you!
Thank you for sharing!
Yo era simpatizante de los testigos de Jehová,hace 24 años me convertí al cristianismo!!!...Alabado sea el Señor.
That theology is NONSENSE.
You can only do genealogy for people who died of natural causes?
The Lion I think the rule is you can only do temple ordinances for holocaust victims if they are your direct ancestors, but I’m not 100% sure.
She's talking about the rule that baptisms for the dead cannot be performed for Jewish people who died in the holocaust. Even if you are related to them. Jewish leaders asked us not to, so we don't.
Julia Allen So how are they saved?
During the Millennium, Temple work will be finished up, so it will be accomplished then.
Julia Allen ahhhh! Okay. Thank you!
7:40 lol and sister missionaries also smack their tongue in the top of their mouth when they give their testimony.
You went to every church looking for the truth... but you never went to one synagogue?
Mazeltov!👍🙏🙏😀💕💕💕
Your parents sent you to a different university so you can find a non-member husband, More proof God has a sense of humor
She looks like that SNL character Linda Richmond.
Bring Millenial Mormon on the show!
This is like my mother's story.
Oh! And I also have a LDS dentist 😂😋
She was lead away to false prophets :(
Very sad!
Noah Healey *True, fixed the typo for ya ;)
Kwaku El if you were to be handed a clear liquid and you were told it was water how would you if it was water? Surely you wouldn’t apply one test to it? You could look at it and say sure it looks like water but that doesn’t mean it’s water. You could also test it by checking the ph, the atoms in it, how it tastes, if it evaporates, if it boils at 100 C. So if you wouldn’t do one test to find out if the water is really water then why would you do one test for the Book of Mormon to see if it’s true?
I don't say your church is evil, so I would appreciate it if you wouldn't say so about mine.
So you claim. Your opinion. Many variety of different faiths so all are obviously false. Or all but one is true. I've been struggling badly but I'd rather die than leave my very true Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. NO other church has convinced me more than Lds faith God is real and very involved with, and aware of ALL his children.
What a turn coat
Jesus was Jewish
Jesus made the Catholic Church
You praise Jesus
But have opposite beliefs as Jesus’ church has
Sad
The catholic church was set up many years after Jesus and paul and all the other apostles death
Heresy
She did it for the money
All you gain by joining the Church is social functions (company) and religious teachings nothing more. The Church requires a participation on your part by contributing to the tithing (1/10) program which is used to run the Church functionally around the world, a sort of tax. Saying that she is in at her age doesn't sound right.
The only common thing the LDS has with Jewish tradition is the LDS Temple.
Jews lost theirs during the civil war against the Romans in 70AD. We have restored more than 180 Temples spread around the globe. I think that's one aspect to can appeal to a Jewish person.
I don’t think bigotry is a good look.
