Thank you so much Reuven, You are explaining my journey so clearly I couldn't believe it wasn't me. A Christian 42 years and now coming to my senses. Many are called but few are chosen. Thankyou Hashem for choosing me to know the truth and save my soul. I love the Torah now, it IS the truth.
Jesus was Jewish too. Did you ever think of that?
Susan Price You do realize that it was Jesus who said "Many are called but few are Chosen" (Matthew 22:14) Right??
Susan Price HOW DO YOU ATTONE FOR SIN ACCORDING TO THE TORAH????
1Corth.10:20 Gentiles sacrifice to demons,,,,...Gentiles, ungodly,heathen,pagan,non jew, unbeliever, unrighteous, godless people, out siders, out of covenant, other nations,
all have the same.
meaning,,
Jews means Believer, godly people, royal preist hood, holy nation, brethren, Olive tree, branches, root, tree,
So Gentiles become spiritual Israel, Rom.2:28-29 he is a jew inwardly,
@Susan Price - You obviously have not read the five books of Moses for yourself. Otherwise you would know the Messiah Jesus was predicted even in Deuteronomy. You would know that the churches do not represent true Christianity. You have sold your soul for a man-made blasphemy - hassidic judaism.
You posted this 6 years ago and I’m just now finding it. I am in this position right now. I’ve been on a journey for 7 years and I finally can’t deny what I’m feeling and learning. Thank you for posting this. I need to hear others journey and I feel good knowing I’m not alone.
I find myself in a lonely place because I am a black male , 72 years old , that has come to realize that there is only one true God; the God of Abraham, Issac and Jacob, the most high God of Isarael. Almost everyone I know is a Christian and I have no one to talk to, but I know that the God that I believe in will provide for me. My faith is stronger than it's ever been and I'm studying and learning more everyday! I can proudly say that I can recite the first 3 verses in the Hebrew bible, which I recite daily. Pray for me.
I am praying for you and I hope you are doing well. I’m on the conversion journey, it has been lovely and very, very difficult. I understand.
❤ HaShem is amazing, especially the amount of mercy He has and His ways are really simple, nothing complex about it.
Brenda Sullivan the temple was destroyed in 70AD Old Testament teaches that God is righteous He cannot look on sin so if there is no day of atonement where is your forgiveness for sin? That is why YHWH sent messiah. Gods word says in the last days false witnesses would raise up to lead His people Israel astray this man will stand before Him one day then we will see how righteous he is.
Watched this December 2016. Thank you, in the deepest way possible, for me, for sharing your story. I am so glad to know the depth of your journey experience. So worth the 1hr & 6min to watch and be with you.
Just done listening to this video and l am blessed. I was a Pentecostal Holiness pastor😊 for some years with some leadership responsibilities in the Philippine Conference. I am on this journey back to Hashem for sometime now and l am about ready to take the plunge.
I was in rebellion, fear, and resentment and didn’t know it. Hashem has been very merciful. Please pray for me and my family. I raised my children as a pagan heathen and didn’t know it. Can anyone relate?
I said the exact same thing when I left xtianity for Torah Judaism: I was born again - again! That's exactly what it felt like. I'd been a xtian from age 18 to 62. It only took a few study groups & videos for me to see the truth. Baruch Hashem!
***** Same thing - different outfit.
So YOU being 'right' demonstrates real love with such a pitful arrogant statement.....my goodness. You can keep your false religion and shove when the sun never shines hun...x
I hope it was Messianic Judaism you joined, and not Rabbinic Judaism
@@RyanEngelbrecht5 - Messianic Judaism is not Judaism at all. When he says "Torah Judaism" he means the combined instruction of Torah Shebichtav and Torah She Ba'al peh. This by definition is, Talmud Judaism; what you call Rabbinic Judaism.
Karen Kirkland Bagley HOW DO YOU ATTONE FOR SIN WITHOUT ANIMAL SACRIFICE ACCORDING TO TORAH???
What a great, honest testimony by this magnificent gentleman. Thank you for sharing.
This Rabbi is a Mensch! May Hashem continue to send you to speak truth and Torah, especially to the deaf and blind who are doing wrong and don't even know it.
I have no words… Amazing. I’m a orthodox rabbinical student and have nothing but the utmost reverence for you. I just want you to know that!
I am so glad to hear your story , I relate so much to your story , I also step out of Christianity and going to the Synagogue and am converting to Judaism .
Such an amazing testimony!! Thank you for sharing this. :-)
"Don't be afraid to trust Hashem."
That pretty much sums Mr. Bryant's story up in six powerful words.
Im a jew who watches videos of converts for the past two months, I have no idea why..
Ariel thats because HaShem is drawing people to himself. He is waiting for people with open hearts who are willing to follow Him. The converts have had enough of the false teachings of the church, have seen all the lies thats in the book , refuse to be blind anymore and have turned to the one true G-d of Israel. When we pray the Shema it opens our eyes to the Oneness of the Creator and ADON OLAM explains it even better.
perhaps god wants you to reach out to people and be a light to them
Perhaps HaShem wants you to be one of the people who truly welcomes and guides new converts or seekers on their journey. Many people don't treat converts very well and converts are vulnerable and can be easily hurt. Bless you. Barbara
Shalom shalom!!! I came to that same conclusion that HaShem echad!!! There's no one besides Adonai! Amém!
Bless you!!!
I can listen to this over and over. And do. So powerful and DEFINITIVE!!
Thank you for your testimony I am a Christian being drawn to Judaism
This is 2018 and for 4 years i struggled - the same struggle. All my life i have been a so called christian and i am tired. I need to be home with the Adonai that is echad. Thank you. This is happening to many christians. Hashwm is doing a great work.
I’m going to tell my life in brief way: out of Christianity (Jehovah Witness) to Torah Judaism because “שְׁמַע יִשְׂרָאֵל יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ יְהוָה אֶחָֽד”
Please let me know if you have it on RUclips and I’m in this position.
B'H/ This is a great testimony concerning fusing knowledge and faith in CREATOR!
Great testimony and although I was not a pastor, just one of the flock that was deceived, my journey is very similar. Baruch HaShem for opening my eyes and for making me willing to listen to the people that tried to talk to me, and to search, search and search until I met Him and found the truth.
I really enjoyed this video. God Bless You my friend.
Yep, I feel the same. Most Christians seem to have little to no knowledge of Old Testament. It's very disappointing.
Not the Baptist. We know The Old Testament better than Jewish folks.
Spock vs Khan, you are hilarious!!!
@@spockvskhan4561 you're a joke, you read a purposely mistranslated bible that fuels the Jesus rhetoric, KJV I'm assuming? the Tanach has never been tampered in its original Hebrew and it continues to be preserved in its original unaltered text.
@@spockvskhan4561 Baptists wouldn't worship a foreign deity like Jesus if they actually studied the Tanach properly.
I’m impressed amazed Hachem blessed you
I am glad you were my Pastor for a time.
I was suffering alot and in continued depression,drifting away from Christian faith. Then I had this strange dream I was a Jew in the Holocaust but I was preaching, encouraging a fellow Jewish prisoner with a funny story. Then I woke up. But it was hard to be depressed and hurting after being in a Death Camp (in a dream). I worship YHWH now though.
Can SOOOOOOOOO relate to so many parts of your journey! Thank you for sharing!
I actually looked again to see if it was possible to like this video twice... no luck... :-)
What a beautiful story! You exemplify the values of the Jewish Nation. May your story encourage others to think deeply, ask questions, and seek God with all their hearts.
Fantastic! What an inspiring story. You will go from strength to strength.
I am addicted to anything connected to Torah. I love Hashem.
Thank God I have a brilliant Rabbi.
Actually All Rabbi's are brilliant. Wonderful people.
Wow its amazing you found Hashem in your heart, same here i am convert too and i found when i was 32 yrs old.. I already feel it when i was 7 yrs old without any understanding yet. But here i am I finally B’H long story i can relate everything its a amazing once you found Hashem in you its all worth it no words can explain.. teary eyes while im listening coz i was amazed. And im so thankful for how lucky we are and its true it wasn’t easy they’ll will be a big test before you reach out. At end.

You did the right thing. Never be ashamed to be one who truly loves G-d, the G-d of Abraham, Isaac and jacob.
Our Torah has been translated to conform to the distortions of the NT and its "Christian" apologists. They took our Holy Bible and use it to attack us and G-d Almighty.
But G-d is the Only Reality and He has made Himself known to any who sincerely desires Him.
What an inspiration you are. I started watching you since 2013 and taught me so much of who I really am. I had so many questions too and was always told to not ask anymore. I had so many frustrations and also looking for answers. I also started Shabbat as the first entry into Judaism. I began to see the truth and it’s taken up until now 2023 I am fully converted and living according to the Torah. During Christianity there are so many holes and queries but nobody wants to give you an explanation. I too ran a bible study that grew to about 30 people but I knew there was something missing by just only talking form the New Testament. I knew nothing about the Torah - I refuse to call it Old Testament-as my Rabbi says that there is no Old or New it just Torah. Thank you for your boldness and teaching me when I had first started out. 🇮🇱🇮🇱🕎🕎
I converted 25 years ago. I went before the Bet Din, Had a Ritual circumcision , Went into the Mikvah and that came after a years worth of study, going to services, eating Kosher totally living a Jewish focused life... The next 25 were a miracle after miracle, from finding the perfect Jewish wife, having 2 perfect Jewish children.... All of this led to me embracing Chabad and becoming close friends with the Rabbi and his family.... Life was amazing and one day I was talking to a friend from Chabad and he asked me “Why doesn’t the Rabbi ever ask you to do an Aliyah ?” I never gave it much thought but it was odd that after 10 years I was never asked.. So long story short. I found out that day that he didn’t recognize my Conversion. It wasn’t up to his standards.. It hurt very bad, but my point of this post is that for those considering conversion, please make sure that the people you plan on davening with, will accept you. I was tricked and fooled.. Be very careful..
Gobsmaking !!! I can't wrap my head around this .... why doesn't he recognize your conversion ....like after 25 years ????
You had ritual circumcision? Ouch! 😖 😄
That’s why you need to do the next logical step and consider Islam which has pure monotheism without the ethnic connection of Judaism.

Was your conversion done by an orthodox Beth din? Or reform/conservative? If you go to an orthodox synagogue they will only accept an orthodox conversion. To me it makes sense that an orthodox conversion is necessary to be an orthodox synagogue. But since your already circumcised it is not difficult to be converted orthodox The reform/ conservative have their own version of conversion which is not accepted by religious orthodox synagogues
Loved this testimony. Thank you Rod Bryant
This speaker is a great man. His ideas are on target.
this testimony was very inspiring. I have went through close to the same discoveries that He went through coming out of Idolartry ie Xtianity! it's great to hear such amazing stories of devout Gentiles seeking Truth, finding truth in Torah and Judaism! B'H
thank you
more common than you think!! The dry bones are waking up......
Bron rising of monotheism.
@@seekthetruth4218 . So when they come alive, do they keep theyr desigion to messiah Yeshua Christ Jesus, I hope!! Or do they go away from him or worce?
As a Torah keeper since around 2008, with a Church background it was extremely interesting to do the math of the Lev25 "7-times punishment" of Christian Ephraim-My-Firstborn..which was completed in around 2008-9. ("firstborn" of what, if not the New Covenant?) ...so there is no coincidence that millions of people who know Messiah, as Ephraim/lost 10 tribes are prophesied to in Zechariah10:7 (compare to 12:10) are now turning back to Torah at all cost, by the leading and power of the Ruach HaQodesh. Compare the TWO HOUSES' (Ezekiel37 Sticks) very different responses to the coming of Messiah when deciding which one to be "Ezekiel37 two sticks ASSOCIATED" with on that subject. (!)
LOVE TRUTH, and let the God of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and Jesus define it according to Torah...not traditions. --Shabbat shalom
You're a Mench. Don't deny it! You're a Mench. I am a Christian, but I love your videos. Todah.
I had to pause to finish laughing over the cousin marriage joke. That was perfection lol
I am in-between right now...I am a christian...been for 40 years, but have never felt connected to God. I have had my eyes opened to this Torah teachings... have talked to my Pastor and he gives very general answers.....If course with Jesus as central and New Testament as all truth... I am really struggling...but I am seeing more and more truth in the Jewish Bible. I am thankful for your Testimony ....encouraging for me to keep digging... I need a Hebrew Bible to find out things for myself..

I am a seeker too, now that I think I have found, the way forward looks invisible.
Thank you for sharing
Going down the same journey... Baruch HaShem!
Great story of a good man, a mensch.
Hi I just want to tell you I totally relate to your story. I wish I could talk to a rabbi cause I am drowning in the sea of confusion you talked about. I feel I want to convert as well I search for Hashem with all my heart. I cry some nights cause I can't find Him and I have this very same burning desire to become part of Israel. There is just no words to explain it. I want Hashem and I can't find Him I search. I joined the Hebrew roots movement but nothing satisfy the questions I have.
Beyers Terblanche Look for Mooji on RUclips. He will show you that you are what you've been looking for.
Only Yeshua/Jesus has what you are seeking. Nothing else satisfies
RyanEngelbrecht5
Yeshua can't save anyone. Stop worshipping a dead man. God says in the Scriptures that only he alone can save.
Isaiah 43:10-11
Hosea 13:4
Psalm 146:3
Additionally, Christians worship a Triune Godhead. This is a very grave error and is a form of idolatry. You are repeating the sin of the Golden Calf. Worshipping a man instead of God.
You don't need to worship a dead man in order to connect to God. You don't need to worship a statue or a golden calf to connect to God. On the contrary, God warns against this multiple times in the Tanach.
Just worship God the Father, not anyone else.
"I am the Lord your God who took you out from the Land of Egypt, from the house of slaves".
"Thou shall not have other gods upon my face". Exodus 20 verses 2-3
@@akivatalansky agree. A rabbi who was an xtian once said in a video:
"Xtians trying to do what they think thier g-d tell them to is the same as MOSQITOS TRYING TO MAKE HUNEY. G-d gave the right to make Huney only to the bee- israel and the torah."
Beyers Terblanche May He, the Almighty, blessed be He, guide you on your path to find Him!
THANK YOU THANK YOU!
סיפור מדהים... amazing story
How can i get in contact with the speaker of this lecture? Is there anyone who is an administrator for this RUclips channel that could help me? It is nit a coincidence that I saw this lecture today.

Very good. Thank you.
God through Torah is all I need. I came out of xianity 25 years ago and had nowhere to go. A co-worker told me she observed the Sabbath. I started studying Torah and it answered every question I had from youth to adult about the Bible. My childhood pastors never answered anything of a deep nature. JC was a distraction from my spiritual growth w HaShem.
Isaiah 43:11 -12 was one of many scriptures HaShem used to free me from JC/Cesar Borgia.
you are just shearing my personal story. i shear thesame experience.
I am going through the exact same thing, I need help, please somebody help me!

We started watching Triumph in Truth who makes their videos available on You Tube. Started with the First Fruits video last Sunday.
Brother these people are Christ deniers they believe their works will get them eternity with the father rebuked them and brush the dust from your feet of them. Put your faith in the atoning blood of Our Savior Jesus Christ Yeshua hamashiach not in their Talmud the Torah is the Old Testament these people deny the New Testament and the very deity and life of Jesus Christ.
Jesus Christ look to Him. He is the Way the Truth and the Life John 14:6. Jesus is the Light of The World.
This man has looked into my life and is copying it. I am looking for God. I was a pastor because of divorce went back to my trade. Still hunting. This opened my eyes.
Kol ha kavod. ..enjoyed listening to your journey. ..
Very cool. To hear both the husband's journey & the wife's journey (Penina Taylor). The desire to connect to HaShem/ G-d is strong. Nice that they are basherts/ meant to be together, throughout.
I have her book!
I pray you have found peace in this knowledge.
May HaShem continue to bless and keep you ‘ ✡️
Thank you, brother! I am teary eyed as I type this! Completely moving testimony!! I've been a Christian about 36yrs, most of my life! I was deceived the entire time!!! Most of that Christian walk was dead, non passionate, backslidden, just looking for one church after another to FIND THE TRUTH! For about 10yrs, I have been disgruntled about Christmas, Easter, etc...... completely quit church. I got tired of trying! About a year ago, something interesting happened, I became interested in Shabbat, so did my mother, who lives in another state. I still felt, for a while that reading the Bible (my NIV) was a chore!! I made myself do it. No passion there, at all. I started seeing teachings on Torah and like Reuven said there was a spark, something there, and I started losing sleep. I talked to God constantly about what was stirring in me. I thought I don't want to be a Jew, and have to follow another religion. I had even (10yrs ago) gone to a Messianic Jewish Synagogue, with my mom, and I thought "what am I doing here? I'm not a Jew!" I don't belong here! So, I returned to my Charismatic Christian Church, where I felt I belonged. I didn't even want to call myself CHRISTIAN, for a long time. Now my mind is blown!! I have The Complete Jewish Study Bible, and I am seeing more than I ever had in scripture!!! Why ME Yeshua??? Because I'm seeking the truth, FINALLY and it is being revealed! I am grafted in, and have always been!!! Get ready, believers! If you are truly seeking the truth, you will find it!! Be prepared to be floored!! May you all find Yeshua's truth!
Now when people ask, I say, I'm Jewish!
Dizziemiss Lizzie You call yourself Jewish and you still think “the truth” belongs with Jesus? Maybe, you could study a little deeper. Hope you find what you are looking for and hope it isn’t to convert Jews to believe in Jesus (your Yeshua). If I’m misunderstanding your last few statements, then, I apologize and wish you well on your journey of discovery.
I left the christian religion after 30 years. when 911 happened and the preachers never exposed how it was an inside job, it woke me up. then I found that the pre trib rap is a lie. so I started studying the occult religion of Babylon and saw what was being repackaged to me. I found out that Paul was a huge deceiver. then I started watching videos from a jew showing why they reject the NT. God never answered my prayers when I was a christian. I now keep the 10 commandments. I am not in a religion. now I am reaching out to christians and being a light to bring them out of that paganism.
God is love
Beautiful lecture. It's all about expressing love of the Creator through deeds, not just "faith".
RUN!
This is wonderful 👏
Thank you for sharing. I know Hashem is well pleased! " The greatest prison people can live in, is fear of what others think. Welcome home.
We are a stiff necked people. Always turning to what some guy teaches or tradition teaches instead of what our father says.
Welcome home, brother!
You are the treasure. You didn’t give everything to have it…
God gave everything to have you
See Hosea
Do not be afraid
Reuven I'm in a mixed marriage situation with a traditional Christian not so much of a hardcore as the evangelicals but she is can't see past jc how can I get her to at least be open to learning about Judaism?
Be a light to her by doing teshuvah and living an observant life. When she ask the tell her. Don't be pushy be patient.
@@NetivOnline amen I'm trying it's definitely not easy but thanks for the comment
What is the book behind you? My mom had exactly the same kind of book. It had Hebrew in it.Thank you.
I Found the picture by google: Antique prayer book,medium Jewish siddur 1973,sefardi version,jewish prayer,holy-land,rare condition book,judaica.
So why on Earth my mom had a sephardi prayer book when all Europeans are Ashkenazi -usually? Unless it really is just a a memory from a trip.
That's not a prayer book, my wife's mother has the same thing. She can't recall if its just a Pentateuch of the whole Tanach.
When you talk about reading the book on the 'pastor's guide to building a church' and you felt sicker the more you read it. I had a similar experience but in a different way. I was attending church for 2 years and by the 3rd year, I found I couldn't sit in teachings anymore because I would literally feel so sick in my stomach. I would feel like I wanted to vomit. All I saw was a promotion, a business, an entertainment venue. I had this overwhelming feeling like they were desecrating the word of G-d and it made me sick. I had to walk out. In fact, I walked out of a conference by a mega-church that I'd paid $300 to attend. I walked out not even half way through the 1st of of 3 day conference and gave my tickets away. I've been in the Messianic movement for 7 months but i'm just now seeing the truth about who HaShem really is. That Jesus is not the Messiah whether you call him Jesus, or Yeshua. He's still not it! Only the Jews have the knowledge of HaShem. There is only one G-d!
That is true Roseyln, but we Jews have to fend off against the entire world, so we are a bit busy to spread the truth to the non Jewish world. When the Jews do outreach they get caught up with missionaries, so we are very wary to reach out to non Jews. If they are interested they will contact us. Our main focus is Israel due to the many threats we face there. When we bring peace to Israel, we will be able to spread the truth of G-d to the whole world. It will be a time of peace. Know that what you have said is true. We have the tradition back to the first man of creation.
You were just at the wrong place. Has nothing to do with Biblical teachings.
What???????!!!
Roslyn Williams Jesus IS the ONLY way to the Father! Jesus loves you so much & He died so that you can have perfection through His blood which the law can never do! He said if you deny him on earth He’ll deny you in front of His angels. I beg of you, turn to Jesus. He’s the ONLY WAY! If you don’t have a relationship with Jesus, you’re going to hell. It’s serious stuff! I don’t want you to. You can’t have Torah without going thru Jesus. Ruach Hakodesh, speak Your Truth!
brent heavener Sorry Brent, but maybe it’s time to look at how the Jesus story matches the Greek and Roman mythologies of its day (virgin birth, died for people’s transgressions and on and on). If you compare with an open mind and are seeking truth and not an alternate-truth, you will find that the “Old Testament” proofs of Jesus were cherry picked and taken out of context.
It's so amazing, because I went to the something you went through, I wish I could get some information in Spanish because I will be moving to Mexico and I will like to teach, but then at the same time, can a woman teach?? Because my husband is not in the same page, he's a Baptist very conservative!
great story. I know this seems a trivial question.. but why do you wear a kippah ?

good man, good luck
so amazing. thank you so much! subscribed.
after reading the Tanakh and the "NT" 12 times from Genesis to Revelation in 10 translations the flimsiness of Xianity became so clear to me. I really recommend to anybody to study your Bible thoroughly and carefully, compare Tanakh to NT and see the disconnect. Compare the NT to Roman paganism and see how it is the same pagan belief system dressed in Hebrew drag. Messianic prophecy shows clearly that Yoshke cannot be HaMaschiach. look carefully and Hashem will lead you to the light.
One does not have to convert to Judaism...all righteous gentiles have a good place in the world to come. Rambam mishne Torah and chazal has much info on this.

I am a non Jew and I turned my back on Christianity for many of the same reasons you spoke of here in this video. I wasn’t a pastor but I was a Pentecostal Christian born and raised.

I to have left Babylon..... And have lost family and friends with it..... But that really is nothing compared to Finding who the Father is.
This verse sums it all up...
But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven. Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. And a man's foes shall be they of his own household. He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me. He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.
Matthew 10:33-39 KJV
I want to be Noahide, and I still want to call you Pastor Rod for some reason. ☺️
Hello I have just came across your video and I must say very interesting and I will be honest I do agree with wear your are saying. But I have a question since you have return to Torah, do you deny Yeshua? I'm not speaking of the Christianity "Constantine"Jesus. But Yeshua of the Torah.
Shalom Rosemary, I, too, have found myself in agreement with these testimonies. About your question: Where is Yeshua found in Torah? I, too, have looked for this without success. Where is Yeshua, or the messiah, prophesied to provide atonement, sacrifice? It is non-existent. There was complete forgiveness (Ezekiel 18, etc.) long before the writings of Yeshua.
Shalom on your journey!
+Kimberly Smith David speaks of Yeshua in Psalm's, when he states of waiting on salvation, it translates to his name.
Stephanie Johnson Ah, I used to see the same thing in the text. By looking backward from the Christian bible, I truly believed that I 'saw Jesus/Yeshua on every page'. It is very dangerous to interpret backwards. We must start out in the beginning, in the native language and without Christian eyes- without preconceived notions, willing to put everything on the table- scrutinizing everything. John 14:6 and similar verses held me back for years, but fear should never prevent us from being honest and seeking truth. Our spiritual life is on the line, not to mention those we affect.
Both Strong's 3468, which is the reference for 'yesha', and Strong's 3444, which is reference for 'yeshuah' translate as 'salvation' in Hebrew. The Psalms and several other places in scripture make use of this noun. Are all of these references to a person, man, messiah? Of course not. Every verse only makes reference to YHWH himself- no one else. He states clearly and repeatedly that he is one (not three), does not take form, is not a man, and will not share his glory with another. He is infinite and the worship of any other is idolatry. When looking at the scriptures, there are clear and unclear texts. It is unjust and untruthful to reinterpret that which is clear for the convenience of adding manmade and false doctrine.
I hope you will seek truth, the one true Almighty, and be blessed on your journey.

I was raised out of fear to think that we were Catholics with funny eating habits but grandmother clearly had what I understand now how to be a mezuzah on her doors, it wasn't spoken about, now am stuck between worlds with most telling me conversion is unnecessary,...but the converts seem to learn better and I feel as if part of my heritage was stolen from me,...have a hard time trying to remember no light switches on Shabbat & more,...
If it's your maternal grandmother, you don't have to convert. If it's paternal, you would, but I'm not telling you to convert, but maybe get in touch with chabad.
I feel like this man. Right now. I finally found someone that. I have in common. I need guidance of what to do. To. Be in the right. Path. Or jouney to. Someday. Be and see my creator my father in heaven. Please. Help. Me George
I enjoyed this video. I see much of my journey in yours. I'm not sure where I will end up. I'm still wrestling with the whole Jesus thing.
I'm drawn to Torah, so I'm going to take your advice. Study what I can. Seek God/Ha Shem. I will fall in love with the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob again
Hi i am a sunday worshiper and i felt and made up my mind to keep the sabbath and i ask the lord to show me if its right for myself. Last saturday i started and when i wake up in the night i hear the word torah so i went on the phone to mind the meaning i was in shock .i knew nothing about it so i went to sleep again and another word i know nothing about sabach so now i know God is leading .i am a black and dont know anyone else who have such .i ask a seven day person about the torah and thats not a part of their worship so i am a little concern of telling people about it . They might think i an crazy😁 please respond

Great testimony, but what about Jesus? Please help me understand?

29:00 - 32:00 That's the crux of it for me. I keep having to make excuses for Christians behaviors and beliefs which deep inside I can no longer justify.

I keep Torah, but I do not practice man made religion which includes Judaism.
Exactly! Follow the whole BIBLE the true word of GOD not religion.
i just keep the 10 commandments. I left christianity
@@nefertiti7375You cannot do that if you don’t know how the Hebrew bible came to be and if you don’t know any Hebrew.
@@narcissistinjurygiver2932There isn’t just 10 commandments.
I am so glad to be able to go back and hear your story and share it with Christian Friends that want to be Jewish...we really are not in the business of Conversion as Jews...I am Jewish by Birthrite and being a Kohanim accept all people but stress to them that celebrating the Jewish Holidays is important but not the crux of Torah Judaism...thanks for doing this video so I can share your experience with Christians who are seeking a conversion or are Messianic Jews...which personally I am not or interested in being...Hashem made Jews and Gentiles....
Baruch HaShem 🙏🏽✡️🌈
Kinda like the apostle Paul, but in reverse.
Leaving grace to embrace legalism.
Paul was an antichrist. he is the reason billions do not keep the 10 commandments.

Sukkah 52a
Our Rabbis taught, The Holy One, blessed be He, will say to the Messiah, the son of David (May he reveal himself speedily in our days!), ‘Ask of me anything, and I will give it to thee’, as it is said, I will tell of the decree etc. this day have I begotten thee, ask of me and I will give the nations for thy inheritance.14 But when he will see that the Messiah the son of Joseph is slain, he will say to Him, ‘Lord of the Universe, I ask of Thee only the gift of life’.’As to life’, He would answer him, ‘Your father David has already prophesied this concerning you’, as it is said, He asked life of thee, thou gavest it him, [even length of days for ever and ever].15
Wow
THE CHRISTIAN NEED TO BE KNOW THE WORD OF GOD
