32. Christian converts
Avi ,   K.S.Israel   (11.16.08)
Thank god for that, we are not like them we are not missionaries, numbers is not our problem essence is…
33. Curious detail
Raphael ,   Netanya   (11.16.08)
Not a single muslim woman converted to Judaism or married a Jew during this 10 years period. Death penalty for apostates plus honour crimes are legitimate concepts for this cattle thieves islamic culture.
34. The Shabbot will continue
Dennis ,   USA   (11.16.08)
The foreshadow of rest now available in the true rest in Christ is far superior. Shabbot in some capacity will exist according to the book of revelation. Yet to call him a liar like many do only is self sabbotaging so that isn't for everyone to find out about. A very narrow and straight gate.
35. @30 faith by inheritance? what an odd logic!

36. #28 My hat to the Khazars!
Henrik ,   Israel   (11.16.08)
John you want to say that Kafka, Freud, Einstein, Mahler, Marx, Mendelssohn, Proust and so on were descendents of the Khazars? If I didn't believe that's a joke, certainly think you're an idiot!
37. ?!?
Avraham ,   Tel Aviv   (11.16.08)
Could anybody tell me how/where is this information any relevant at all ? Is there an implicit suggestion we should be wondering why "less people are converting to our faith" ? I think it would be much more advisable for people who may be wondering that that they first wonder what they themselves are. The answer for this question is complex enough to keep your mind busy till the end of your days, and you will no longer be bothered by this article's figures.

Avraham ,   Tel Aviv   (11.16.08)
Please share with what's so funny you are laughing out loud that you found your Messiah. I'm serious, I just love to laugh. But this topic is very hard for me... I just can't understand how come you claim somebody already saved the world and left it... like this. Wow, hahaha... I think I got it now ! LOL !!!!!

Rivkah   (11.16.08)
people do appreciate them. Since you do not and you prefer to slander me, please skip my posts. You said nothing of value or truth.
41. 35: The Lord made an everlasting covenant with Abraham
Rivkah   (11.16.08)
which was passed onto Isaac, Jacob, and then to Judah for the descendants who are Jews in their hearts which means they love the Lord instead of being atheists or followers of the commandments of men instead of the commandments of God. If you notice in the geneologies of those the Lord chooses to be his own forever, there is a connection and DNA does play a role. Naaman the Syrian General was chosen by the Lord, but he alone is mentioned of the Syrians of that time as belonging to the Lord. Boaz belonged to the Lord, as did his son Obed, grandson Jesse, and great grandson David. That is almost salvation by inheritance, but not quite. The righteous position of a father or mother with the Lord is better training for the child to become a member of God's family. King David said he never saw the children of the righteous (saved by God) go hungry, so God has a greater concern for the children of his elect than for the descendants of the devil's family. God is also more likely to choose them. That does not make salvation an inherited gift. But the geneology of those the Lord loves are more likely to be chosen by the Lord than the geneology of those the Lord hates. To be saved eternally, God must give the person the faith. Many are called, but few are CHOSEN, the Bible says. They are born, not of the blood (genetic inheritance), nor of the flesh (a person cannot will himself/herself saved), nor of the will of man (preachers or rabbis cannot alone save), BUT OF GOD. God chooses or chose who would be saved from the foundation of the world. But what criteria does God have for doing that? His promise to Abraham is a factor, but not the only factor.
42. Did you see the fight w/ "christians'"
PETRA ,   usa   (11.17.08)
of several demoninations slugging it out in the "Church of the Holy Seplecur?" Gimme a break, from what I see of "christians' I wouldn't be caught dead w/ these nuts! There are now over 37,000 'christian' sects. They seems to literally knock each others brains out! How "Christian' of them.
43. Conversions
Yael ,   USA   (11.20.08)
Hmmm, what if we are all wrong and there is just us. No creator, no Messiah, no Allah, no Christ, no Buddah, no nothing...just us. Are we enough for ourselves?

Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (11.22.08)
the red lines indicate that you are doing "self recommamdation" . No sane nor serious person can appreciate your barkings
45. Anders , Sweden , regarding this "paqid"
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (11.22.08)
There is no TRUE orthodox Rabbi who recognizes your paqid as being Jewish . He is a self proclaimed "authority" , a convert to Judaism [ as he claims he is ] He is a deceiving guy by telling that he is orthodox , and had even "ministry of absorption" as heading of his website , to deceive unaware people . And for TRUE Jews , the Maschiach has still to come .
46. new synagogue in jerusalem
(11.26.08)
If the Arabs do not like Jewish control in our city, taking back only what they destroyed, my suggestion is that they take themselves and move to Jordan, their already existing palestininan state, and start all the conflict they want and ruin their lives over there.
