This is a post my husband put on his blog just day's ago. Some of his Jewish friends have all but abandoned him due to his decision for Yeshua... He has been wrestling with this decision for a long time and many hours of study and prayer. He knew that it would mean the end of all that he holds dear... his friends... This was not the most popular decision... however it was the only one! I hold my husband in the highest esteem for coming to terms with the only thing he could do and that was to honor G-d and tell the world that Yeshua is the Mashiach!
For all of you who have stood by and loved Yehudi through this and have prayed for him...THANK YOU! May the G-d of the heavens and earth bless and keep you from all evil and fill your tents with plenty!
YEHUDI... I LOVE YOU SO MUCH AND HONOR YOU FOR THE TRULY AWESOME MAN YOU ARE!

go at your own risk.... it's really heated!
This is a very exciting post for me! I am proudly declaring myself a Messianic Jew. Through much study and prayer, it is an undeniable fact that Yeshua is the long-awaited Mashiach of the Jewish people. If he is not, then no one is and we are left without hope.
Some of my Jewish brothers will now consider me a christian. Let me be clear: I am not a christian, nor will I ever attend a christian church. I don’t mean to offend any of my Christian friends, however, I am a Jew. As a Jew, I observe Shabbat, remain kosher, and I now see that recognition of Yeshua as the Mashiach and Torah-observance are perfectly compatible.As I write this, I fully recognize that I am choosing the unpopular position and am now considered a mumar. It is something that grieves me, however, I would rather be ‘right’ about Hashem and unpopular with man than miss all that G-d has in store for me and hold the popular position among men. This is a very personal decision, and my blog will not be a platform of missionary activity. The desire of my heart is that Am Yisrael would turn to Hashem, accept the yoke of Torah, and da lifnei mi ata omed.

I did not know you had your own blog! I will enjoy checking it out. In spite of the difficulties, I am so happy for your husbands decision!
Bless Yah! I am a man who professed christianity since 1987 and in the past five years have come to understand that the Jesus I professed is Yeshua and that Torah is commanded to me as well. I have become very unpopular in the christian circles due to my embracing of Torah. I have a blog that I use to proclaim the Truth of Torah. Unfortunately I have also become unpopular among many in the Messianic movement because I reject rabbinic tradition that is in opposition to Torah. Rabbinic tradition was opposed by Yeshua and it caused many to miss HIM when HE came the first time. Rabbinic and so called "church father" tradition will cause many to miss HIM when HE comes again as well. Bless your family as you seek HIM for who HE really is.
jungle mom, hi yes I created this blog a while ago however I came in as Ann mostly because I didn't want BK trashing anyone who wanted to come and state an opinion . As soon as Yehudi came out on his blog I decided to put my real name on it. Thanks for all your prayers.
G-d bless you and all the support you've given us over this past year!
Blessings

Baruch HaShem! I am so blessed to see Daniel's blog and confession, and so glad the Holy Spirit has enabled you to gladly reveal yourself as Daniel's wife, again!
G-d bless!
Thanks for deleting my comment. Have fun worshipping idols.
Bk I didn't delete your comment...
Daniel did! You are very cruel... please don't come to my blog any longer. You have nothing I need nor want. If you were trying to make anyone see your point... You have missed the boat! I really don't want to debate you nor give you any of my presious time. I am looking for bloggers who want to be encouraged by the others. This is the reason I deleted my blog last time but I will not allow you to make me do that again. Next time it won't be Daniel it will be me.
For the measure a man gives that's what he will get back! You have sown so many seeds of hate and discontent for someone of such a young age... I pity you.
But I will do what G-d has ask me to do and that is to bless you! So I will.
Shalom
If you and your husband stop pretending you are Jewish and simply admit you are Christian things would be fine. BK and I are both able to have very positive interactions with Christians, but because you are misrepresenting and blaspheming Judaism we have a big problem with your actions.
I certainly don't pretend that I'm Christian, it would be disrespectful of Christianity if I did, so please give the same honesty and courtesy to us.
As I said on Yehudi's blog, I am not anti-Christian. We have a common enemy in Islam and radical secular hedenism, and it is in our best interest to work together to defeat them.
Just end the facade, be proud of what and who you are, admit what you are not, and we can then mutually respect one another for our differences and move forward.
Until then, I'm sorry but there will be no reconcilliation offered for either of you.
MZ... Your post almost doesn't deserve time... however you nor anyone else will never take my heritage away from me. You want me to tell you that I'm not Jewish... that would be the most extreme insult to my grandparents and to all of my relatives that had to leave Israel. I was extremely bless by G-d to have my family!
You insult them and you insult G-d with your accusations. MZ.. I really don't care what you think of me or my husband!
Whether you like Christians or not really doesn't matter to me.
I was raised in a Christian church as a child and then as an adult, I would never deny my brothers and sisters either because through the church I learned who my Moshiach is. It wasn't until later in my life that it was my decision to honor my forefathers and I looked to my Jewish heritage. I'm just certain I'm not one of a kind... isn't that what life is all about! CHANGE...Praise be to G-d!
This will be the last time I will ever address this with you or anyone else! I WILL NEVER DENY MY FAMILY.. ALL OF THEM! Should you come to my blog and want to give my readers some good information without speaking Lashon Hara(laws of speech Bava Bathra 164b-165a) you will be welcome... if not then please don't bother to post because I will not publish anymore of your comments!
Shalom
Karin, if you were raised Christian, believe in JC, but possess Jewish ancestry than just say you are a Christian of Jewish ancestry. That allows you to be completely honest, and wouldn't offend anybody.
This is not loshen hara. I'm trying to encourage you to choose a solution that is both an honest representation of how you believe and respectful of your ancestry.
Perfect example: My sister has a friend, born Jewish on both sides, who was raised in a secular humanist home. When she graduated high school she converted to Christianity. She is still of Jewish descent, still has Jewish parents and siblings, but is honest about the fact that she is now a Christian. Nobody has hostility towards her because she is not trying to convince anyone her Christian beliefs are still Jewish.
Judaism is not being blasphemed or misrepresented by what she's doing, and she is still respectful towards her Jewish friends and family. All I ask is for you and your husband to do the same.
MZ...I'm happy or not for your sisters Jewish friend, that she has choosen to do that... I however have choosen not to do that because I don't subsribe to the Christian way of thinking. The only thing they and I have in common is Yeshua. I choose to keep the traditions and the festivals of my forefathers, and that's it!
MZ please get over yourself... I have made a chose, and this is the end! I will not debate you on this matter any longer... we will have to agree to disagree!
Shalom
If you celebrate Jewish festivals, yet believe your salvation is through JC, than that makes you Christian. You can't have it both ways. I wish you would reconsider what I suggested, and at least think about representing yourself as a Christian first because otherwise you are lying to yourself. It is no shame for you to be a Christian Zionist who loves the Jews and their traditions. Please just think about it at least. I have Christians who come to my site all the time to give their support to Israel and the Jewish cause, and they are considered to be allies not enemies.
MZ: I respect your passion and your perspective, but I strongly disagree. I reject Christianity for several reasons. They have changed and desecrated Shabbat, they've eliminated the festivals and replaced them with their own. Christianity views the Torah as a curse, yet consider themselves 'grafted-in' to the blessings. I take issue with that, however, I know with 100% certainty that Yeshua is our Moshiach. That is the only common thread we share with Christianity.
My great-grandparents, my grandparents, and my parents were Jewish. My great-grandparents' great grandparents were Jewish. I am Jewish. I love the Torah, I love Israel, I love our heritage, customs, and festivals...and I love Yeshua. I don't expect you to understand where I'm coming from, but I expect you to show me respect. Perhaps this is where we "shake hands and part friends" as my husband says.
