Well I respect you. It is strange you mentioned "bisexuality". I have actually started to lust after men for some reason. Picturing myself as a feminine male. Even though one of my goals in life is to get married to a woman and have a family with her. Sometimes I wonder what is going on with my mind and how the human brain functions like it does. I would be telling the truth that I have lied before. I would also be telling the truth I have sinned many times. I probably have sinned more then I lied. Who knows. Like I mention before my life is not in a good place. I'm in good health, I help people, i have good intitions for myself. I just want apart of the pie. Seeing Judaism changed my mind on going down the road many are going. I felt I never had the family I wanted growing up. I feel Judaism will bring into the Jewish family and allow me to meet a nice Jewish woman to have a children with. Also I want to be a Freemason since many of my ancestors are Masons and the fire burning in my heart just tells me Judaism is true. I'm not someone wanting a revolution. I want to be there for everyone. Feel true love, respect, family and all that.
well wanting thing or a life isnt bad . but you will find that life is most self-destructive. we have another gay celebate man here who is being healed as we speak. his testimony is that is as destructive as i learned and far more so.for me loving men was so wrong. i knew it was. i would go to church and hear YHWH screaming at me its in. you cant love him. repent. i didnt make you love a man. i was confronted by friend and she told me where to read in the bible and i repented. i started liking boys at the age of 10. i cant explain why, i dont really care to know. all i know is that its gone i have control.btw judaism wont stop that for you. i know of no jews that speak out against gays as being a sin except the hasidic and kaballahs. both of them are cults to the jews in general.

the identity crisis wont stop if you remian in bisexual issues. you will always want the other side . when i was with my man. i still looked at women. i never cheated but i looked. is that what you want.seeing the members of the sex you want and you are with someone be it a man or a women and wanting more, never satisified?
 
Johnny,
You said you used to be a Christian? What turned you away from Christianity?

You know I never could admit this but what is stopping me now? Myself is the reason. Not because one day I chose to give it up. I was facing various problems. Self injury, depression, arguments and I wouldn't doubt family drama. School was terrible. I recall being made fun for being Christian. One substitute teacher was nice. That is when I went crazy and started preaching whatever I wanted. I don't recall any terrible incidents. But I did distant myself from everyone. I started to self injure myself. First I wanted to be adopted. To leave my home and everything else. To be happy! Since that did not happen. I left my faith. When everyone was making fun of me I recalled they mentioned God wasn't real or that they were Atheist. So I picked up on Atheism. With being Christian I verbally attacked people who were religious or I didn't like at the moment. I grew tired of Atheism and I picked up the Quran. From being a Christian I knew many similarities and differences from the Abrahamic faiths. I felt the passion coming to me. I didn't become a Muslim or anything. But a few things brought me toward Judaism. This might sound crazy but I had several dreams being married to this beautiful Jewish woman. She was the perfect soul-mate in my dreams. As well I mentioned in another post the fire that is alive in my heart. Being human my free will is not sin proof. I make mistakes. Like how I attacked you guys verbally. I'm in the same boat. But I want to make my dreams a reality. I want to be happy!

You know maybe it's imagery. I had have sex before and no men though. I met different women since I was 12 or 13. One thing led to another. I do not want to go into detail but it is difficult for a young person to have sex and then just stop. Our body feels it needs more and more that is one big issue I have with myself. Hopefully I don't sound like both a pig and an idiot. But I have love hate relationship with porn. everyday I cannot live without it. It is always on my mind. Sad but its brainwashed me into feeling guilty if I leave it behind or throw it away. Tully I'm not interested in a man. Recently I had a dream I told myself do not sleep with men. Because if you do you will get aids and everyone will now and single you out for it.

I'm not a Jew yet! But soon! This time will be different. I will be more mature and better myself in being there for everyone. I'm really tired and exhausted. I sleep in the afternoon and stay up at night. Homework latter as well. I would like to join the group. Learn how to express myself toward other men and ask them what to do. It will be no easy task. A daily habit... A constant daily habit. In truth I find it disgusting. There is one thing in liking to have sex or being passionate. The other is over doing it and being a pig!
 
well johnny you are in luck , the God we serve can also heal you from porn. He did that with me. funny you mentioned porn. most lbgt members are into this. i was into porn at age 18. but that is best discussed in the mens forum per the tos.

The acts you commit can be disgusting, but you, yourself (in your being) are not disgusting, Johnny. What you are describing is shame. In your heart, you have a love for the Lord God and you desire to worship and please Him. Because of this when you do something that He says is a sin, you feel guilt and shame. This is why God grants us forgiveness and cleanses us from the inside out.

You like (everyone in the world) are seeking love. You have described having a broken family and I am so sorry that you did not have the family you wanted as a child. God wants to give you a family of spiritual fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, cousins--you name it! Because you haven't been shown love in a holy manner, you are trying to find the love else where (like through pornography). Many people confuse lust and love. Our society is really to blame for this. The Lord YHVH wants to show you what holy, Godly love looks like and what it is, and through this He is able to help you to overcome your sin areas.

PS: I'm currently in school too. I have a quiz and an exam tomorrow, I know how it is! ;))
 
I have read since Jews are G-d's chosen people. We hold the candle to guide people. The light. The Torah, laws, and prophets. The Jewish afterlife is complicated to explain. I can go into more detail this later. Jews are supposed to by to be righteous. Respect both other Jews and non Jews(gentiles).

Why do you believe the Jews are Gods chosen people?

Jews are just one of the 2 of the 12 tribes (Benjamin and Judah)

Colossians 3:11 Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond [nor] free: but Christ [is] all, and in all.

All Jews are G-d's chosen people. All Jews are Israel.
 
How do you account for all the prophecies in the Old Testament that tell me that Jesus Christ is the Messiah ?

Simple, you take verses out of context. In other words many of these verses do not relate to Jesus or any other outside figure at all. Let's go over two popular ones from the Book of Isaiah.

Now with Isaiah 53 (I still have my Passion of the Christ Isaiah 53 T-shirt) Jews view Jacob aka. Israel as G-d's suffering servant.

I have seen these prophecies before. You'll be surprised non of them are prophecies about Jesus at all. Let's go over Isaiah 53. Christians view this verse as foreshadowing the Crucifixion of Jesus in the NT. How can Jesus be the suffering servant when Jacob-Israel is described as the Suffering Servant?
Isaiah 41:8-9
But you, Israel, my servant, Jacob, whom I have chosen, the offspring of Abraham, my friend; you whom I took from the ends of the earth, and called from its farthest corners, saying to you, "You are my servant, I have chosen you and not cast you off."

Isaiah 44:1
But now hear, O Jacob my servant, Israel whom I have chosen!

Isaiah 44:21
Remember these things, O Jacob, and Israel, for you are my servant; I formed you; you are my servant; O Israel, you will not be forgotten by me.

Isaiah 45:4
For the sake of my servant Jacob, and Israel my chosen, I called you by your name, I name you, though you do not know me.

Isaiah 48:20
Go out from Babylon, flee from Chaldea, declare this with a shout of joy, proclaim it, send it out to the end of the earth; say, "The Lord has redeemed his servant Jacob!"

Isaiah 49:3
And he said to me, "You are my servant, Israel, in whom I will be glorified."​

Christian Misinterpretation of Psalms

Psalms 22:16 For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet. (KJV)
At first glance, we couldn't possibly find a verse that more loudly screamed of Christianity. It speaks of someone having his hands and feet pierced. Obviously, only one person in the history of the world has had their hands and feet pierced. (This is a prime example of how you need to first believe in Jesus before even the mistranslated representation of what King David wrote can be used as a "proof.") Secondly, what really went on during a crucifixion is that the wrists and ankles were pierced, not the hands and feet. This might seem like nitpicking to one who is not prepared to take this seriously, but it is a valid point nonetheless. Thirdly, we are dealing with a mistranslation. What you see for the word "pierced" is translated from the Hebrew "ka'ari," which means "like a lion." This word is used again in that very same Psalm:

Psalm 22:21 Save me from the lion's mouth: for thou hast heard me from the horns of the unicorns. (KJV)
Odd, that KJV would translate the very same word as "pierced" in verse 16, but as lion in verse 21. I suppose if the word really did mean "pierce" then verse 21 should read "Save me from the pierced mouth" but of course, that makes no sense.

Psalm 22:7 But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people.
So, Jesus, the god-man, is calling himself a worm? On the other hand, the worm reference is found elsewhere in Scripture:

Isaiah 41:14 Fear not, thou worm Jacob, and ye men of Israel; I will help thee, saith the LORD, and thy redeemer, the Holy One of Israel. (KJV)
So, the Jewish people are likened to a worm, and the comparison here makes it much more likely that David was writing about the plight of the Jew. For some reason, Christians find it hard to believe that the Psalmist would be writing about his own people.​

So, I do not see Jesus as proof of anything. In fact Christian proof text points me away to Christianity.
 
Knowledge, faith, Family (both extended and internal), Becoming new, discipline, and so forth.

Not that it is probably going to change your mind, but you know all those things are available in Christ, too, right?

And there's one thing in Him you won't find anywhere else: peace that passes all understanding.

27 "Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your heart be troubled, nor let it be fearful. John 14:27 (NASB)

It sounds to me as though this is what you're looking for. I hope your journey through Judaism finally brings you to this conclusion.

Peace. Out.

I like Judaism the best. Judaism is truth in my eyes. I would love to make the Messiah a reality.
