I want to take a moment and thank Jews For Jesus for their Ministry, and for taking a stand for the One True Messhiach, Christ Jesus.
I also wish to thank them for allowing me an opportunity to minister with G-D's Word and teachings to those few that come to this Forum. I have been allowed to post and to grow in knowledge as one could only hope to -- with a daily Bible Study group.
I have participated at a couple other sites in the past, one of which was taken over by derelicts for Satan because the moderation was practically non-existent. Once a good thread was started there, it would be side-tracked with accusations, effeminate masculinity, religious illiteracy and hypocrisy, etc. -- all on the pretence that such a site was taken over as their domain and "fort", and I was an unwelcome outsider to discuss Bible stuff. It was as if..."Bible stuff? Who cares about Bible stuff at a Bible Discussion site...tell me about that cup of coffee you had, or if you're feeling healthy, or make me laugh" -- this is their attitude.
Not so at JFJ. Moderation has been a blessing...even if posting short posts is a difficulty for me.
I've had my difficulties in being concise and clear with anti-missionaries that come here, sure...but I hope that our discussions and counter-points have been beneficial. To me, these exchanges have been helpful, driving me back into the Bible, oftentimes deeper than I have done in years. And yet, no matter how deep I go, I see that the Trinity of the One G-D (the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) is always true...and that Jesus is more interwoven into the Scriptures (as Revelation 19:10c says) than I had ever seen before. Perhaps the Hebrew word "pala" for "wonderful", "awesome" -- perhaps that applies here.
It is one thing to have surface knowledge and assurance. It is another to have even greater assurance / trust / perfect peace in the Faith the deeper you delve into it. Thanks again JFJ, for allowing me to participate here, and in aiding me in growing in Christ. Shalom.
