Hi I'm Brian and I was raised Jewish my whole life; Hebrew school for 9 years at Temple Akiba and Bar Mitzvah at 13. My whole family is Jewish, even my extended family.
I accepted Jesus as my personal savior two years ago, and for a while I was scared about what my family would think, so I kept it from them. It wasnt until I read this verse that I knew I had to tell them:
Mark 10:29"I tell you the truth," Jesus replied, "no one who has left home or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields for me and the gospel 30will fail to receive a hundred times as much in this present age (homes, brothers, sisters, mothers, children and fields—and with them, persecutions) and in the age to come, eternal life.
When I told them, many of them did disown me, but because of that I rejoice because my Savior has something a hundred times better for me. God saw my devotion to Him and He rewarded me. Life has never been better, and the ones who stuck with me are seeing how much God has changed my life. God is using me to show them the light.
Hi Brian!
What a testimony! If you're interested in learning more this is the place to do it.

Dear iamadoorknob...
First of all: tell me how many steps they are from here to heaven? On the Stairway, of course.
How in Hell can you show your JEWISH PARENTS the light when you obviously have take so incredibly many steps back into the BLACKEST DARKNESS?
God is using me, you say? You mean the way you described that you’ve did. Think about this! That simple way to think and to belief in, is absolute totally forbidden for Jews, remember. Jews never lived this way and never do: never by absurd thinking! Do you for real read NT? What you are babbling about?
...
you who has been stuck with? ... who now are seeing how much... what? 
How can you say you are NOT scaring true humans called mensch?
Shalom
May I ask you what turned you on to Jesus? What do you feel that Jesus can do for you that G-d cannot?
I know that last question may not seem fair, but unfortunately it is the truth. You were raised to know G-d. But yet you feel you need Jesus. No matter if you believe Jesus and G-d are the same, or that the Trinity exists, the fact of the matter is that you felt you need something outside of what the offered by G-d through his everlasting promises of salvation.
Do not think I am being harsh - I am merely curious.
For your family - their actions may seem extreme but they are merely doing what G-d asks them to do. To seperate themselves from those who have left G-d. Hoepfully over time the rift will be fused and you will know G-d fully. And find what you feel that you were missing.

You've gone from "at least I think I'm a Christian" to a Pharisse apostate.
Emma read the scriptures after prayer and ask God to reveal himself to you. Start in Genesis and work through to Revelation and you will find that God came down himself in the form of Jesus to be the lamb of sacrifice that Isaac was asking about.
He is the Messiah...but as he said "I come in my fathers name(Jesus) me ye will not recieve but another who comes in his own name him ye will recieve" and that day is arriving quickly the Roman Empire has been rebuilt all that remains is the "messiah" who will come in his own name that the Jews will recieve and will in the end slaughter all but a remnant.
Don't take my word for it...study...read with God's direction and your eyes will be opened.
Ignore Goy's comment she has a tendency to shoot off her mouth before her brain is in gear...pray for her we all do.
Seek and ye shall find,Knock and it shall be opened unto you

Prophet do you honestly have some kind of rhyming testimony we can quote? Most recent quotes are good to click on in the
Jesus for Jews forum.
cor517 didn't know that being a poet was a prerequisite to the site..
havent seen any of your poems on JFJ site either come to think of it.
if there is something I said that you didn't like please elucidate haven't had to break codes since military days and you do tend to talk in circles.
If this is about my post to Emma what was there in it that wouldn't help her with any rift. The word has helped me and countless others to trust God and follow his lead in fixing what appears unfixable.
Haven't seen many rhyming testomonies either hear or in church come to think of it.
Be rather worry about what your family thinks... they know what they are worried about... YOU ALL SHOULD BE.
What you need is what you should learn soonest possible…
KNOW PHILOSOPHY and then understand why LOGIC & logical thinking is needed – why Logic expresses the REASON which is the POWER behind all historical truth. Writers on this basis presented Know-How attached to the unique traditions of knowledge about truthful things – all the writing about the Truth itself, within the frame of history of human kind. The power in all SCRIPTURES relays on this truth.
Don't repeat mistakes; never dream about what it may be, but learn to KNOW what it is about! You don’t learn by steady quoting the words & sentences that are already written. And can see, none of you is EXPLAINING ANYTHING worth to read about. Where is the comprehension of it? Do you yourself understand that?
[b]
Don't quote all the time the Scriptures - that's a very bad habit the Christians and none Jews do all the time - because they don't know
what the truth of Jewish Jesus' Lights was & is & means!
YOU MUST know it first - only then try to explain. By learning first the essence - what the WORDS are saying by pointing at - they all do - you're able to see what's behind that science.
This is about a very special & unique Old Hebrew-Jewish Tradition of Teaching!
When this achieved -then by knowing make the arguments. Means then you can & do, by exposing the truth which you brought up, for its hidden places... All this is right behind the natures of the subjects by words expressed.., these you must expose by displaying. It's about the mystery you need to know!
The whole point in this is to
REVEAL the MYSTERY!
The beauty of this is Unique Traditions of Learning where Issues are Subject of truth.
Remember this is the teachings where the history is the basis for all truth!Makes the living conditions!
This Tradition is provided by the name representing the Mastery of Teachings – Who is the Discloser of Truth – The identity mastering the containment of mystery factors – the One defining the most explicit BRANCH of
learning about what LIFE by GOD within the MAN is done of …
And this means by being a Jew living of knowledge; don’t dream but know the things!
Become real, become philosophical, do thinking by reason... All this you'll find in the basement; the history where all basis of truth lies. Never try indifferently - NEVER by dreaming about the subjects which not you or anybody else ever can make any sort of truthful understanding without!
Shalom
Actually: Be very worry about what your family thinks
To both Cor517 & to prophet - I ask…
Refering to what was quoted from prophet, repeated by cor517 at the end... in response…
Seek and ye shall find, Knock and it shall be opened unto you
Can you, prophet, or you, cor517, explain more clearly what doesn’t seem to me that you self know what those words exact refers to? Explain it to me, please, since no one else here is asking for a little extra as I usually do and prefer.
The problem I have is this, guys. I ask myself here… Am I blind? If not, are those who never react the way I do, those who never ask if there is anything wrong in what they read but never see? The testimonies you all make in that simple sort of belief you approve while you show in this, I’d like actually to SEE by my own eyes what you do understand, for real! Because, all I see what you do is that YOU’RE REPEATING over and over again - in the Scripture those are the conclusions which you impossible can know what are exact. Means for real what these are, and the words says – as are given by the identity behind what obviously and for sure is a very hard order to fulfil, to those who receive… The last I hope may help... you!
I ask again… Please explain it closer to me only, what you’ve quoted from the scripture – what does it means, and… do you have the real idea of this? Let me see:
Seek and ye shall find… Seek HOW? Seek WHAT?
Knock and it shall be opened unto you… - Knock WHERE? On the door on the wall?, or on the HEAD…? but if so, than it will be a hell big hole in it of this kind of knocking on... You may laugh, yes, but I am serious! True.
Please, cor517 and prophet,
EXPLAIN… (only to me.)
Thanks...
