About Me

My conversion story is in a lot of ways the same as most others I’ve read, but in a lot of ways different. I grew up very secular and never read the Bible and never gave much thought to God. The only contact I had with religion was what I saw on TV and from Mormons and Jehovah’s Witnesses at my door. It never made sense to me. It was only when I was going through a traumatic time that I decided to read the Bible for myself, starting from Genesis. I wanted to see for myself what the Old Testament said about this Messiah (JC). Turns out,  it doesn’t say anything – not one word – Until the Prophets. But in the process, I learned that everything I thought I knew about God was wrong (or an outright lie) and I realized that who God really was, was the God of the Jews. I fell in love with the God of the Old Testament. Funny, since I was reading a NIV Christian Bible loaded with Christian commentary on every page. (I’m sure that wasn’t my neighbors intent when they gave it to me.) So why is it that no one else could seemingly read the same book and not see the Truth right in front of them? How could these so-called Christian ‘experts’ believe this? Are they intentionally perpetuating a lie? I decided to become Jewish. I was so excited. I wanted to follow God like in the Old Testament. Then after research about how to convert, I learned Jews today do not follow God like in the Old Testament. What is all this about the “Oral Law” and why are there so many kinds of Judaism? Since then, I have struggled to find a place within the Jewish community. I don’t consider myself a Karaite Jew,  I don’t consider myself an Ultra-Orthodox or Haredi Jew,  I don’t consider myself a Religious Zionist Jew,  I don’t consider myself a Noahide or Ger. I want to call myself a Messianic Jew,  but the Christians have stolen that term. I want to call myself a Torah Jew,  but that term still applies to Rabbinic Judaism. So I came up with the term ‘Pure’ Jew.

What all these have in common though, is that they are all splinters of mainline Orthodoxy (except Karaism). The only way to unite them all and bring the Messianic Age is to acknowledge and fix the corruption of Rabbinic Orthodox Judaism. Join me in my quest to “Purify” Judaism.

    1. The whole system of kashrut – separating meat and milk for one. The Noahide Laws are another. In a general sense, giving new meaning to passages in the Torah other than the plain meaning. Creating traditions based on only one rabbi’s opinion who based his opinion not on Torah but yet another rabbis opinion. Creating the notion that Jewish blood/DNA is more important than non Jewish rather than if you follow God’s Laws.

    2. THE TALMUD IS THE HEART’S BLOOD OF THE JEWISH RELIGION

      “The Talmud is to this day the circulating heart’s blood of the Jewish religion. Whatever laws, customs or ceremonies we observe ~ whether we are Orthodox, Conservative, Reform or merely spasmodic sentimentalists ~ we follow the Talmud. It is our common law.” ~ Herman Wouk

      We will legally define the Talmud as the basis of the Israeli legal system. ~ Benjamin Netanyahu

      “THE JEWISH TALMUD IS ONE OF THE WONDERS OF THE WORLD”!

      The official unabridged Soncino Edition of the Talmud published in 1935 was “Translated into English with Notes, Glossary and Indices” by such eminent Talmudic scholars as Rabbi Dr. I. Epstein, Rabbi Dr. Samuel Daiches, Rabbi Dr. Israel W. Slotki, M.A., Litt.D., The Reverend Dr. A. Cohen, M.A.’, Ph.D., Maurice Simon, M.A., and the Very Reverend The Chief Rabbi Dr. J.H. Hertz wrote the “Foreword” for the Soncino Edition of the Talmud. The Very Reverend Rabbi Hertz was at the time the Chief Rabbi of England.
      The world’s leading authorities on the Talmud confirm that the official unabridged Soncino Edition of the Talmud translated into English follows the original texts with great exactness. It is almost a word-for-word translation of the original texts. In his famous classic “The History of the Talmud,” Michael Rodkinson, the leading authority on the Talmud, in collaboration with the celebrated Reverend Dr. Isaac M. Wise states:

      “THE JEWISH TALMUD IS ONE OF THE WONDERS OF THE WORLD. During the twenty centuries of its existence…IT SURVIVED IN ITS ENTIRETY, and not only has the power of its foes FAILED TO DESTROY EVEN A SINGLE LINE, but it has not even been able materially to weaken its influence for any length of time.

      IT STILL DOMINATES THE MINDS OF A WHOLE PEOPLE, WHO VENERATE ITS CONTENTS AS DIVINE TRUTH…”

      The Talmud, then, is the written form of that which, in the time of Jesus, was called the Traditions of the Elders, and to which he makes frequent allusions.
      — Rabbi Michael L. Rodkinson (1)

      Or consider this from The Universal Jewish Encyclopedia, in the entry

      “PHARISEES”:

      The Jewish religion as it is today traces its descent, without a break, through all the centuries, from the Pharisees.

      Their leading ideas and methods found expression in a literature of enormous extent, of which a very great deal is still in existence. The Talmud is the largest and most important single member of that literature, and round it are gathered a number of Midrashim, partly legal (Halachic) and partly works of edification (Haggadic). This literature, in its oldest elements, goes back to a time before the beginning of the Common Era, and comes down into the Middle Ages. Through it all run the lines of thought which were first drawn by the Pharisees, and the study of it is essential for any real understanding of Pharisaism.
      — R. Travers Herford for the Universal Jewish Encyclopedia. (2)

      Rabbi Dr. Louis Finkelstein, Instructor of Talmud, and later president of the Jewish Theological Seminary of America, writes:

      Pharisaism became Talmudism, Talmudism became Medieval Rabbinism, and Medieval Rabbinism became Modern Rabbinism. But throughout these changes of name, inevitable adaptation of custom, and adjustment of Law, the spirit of the ancient Pharisee survives unaltered. When the Jew reads his prayers, he is reciting formulae prepared by pre-Maccabean scholars; when he dons the cloak prescribed for the Day of Atonement and Passover Eve, he is wearing the festival garment of ancient Jerusalem; when he studies the Talmud, he is actually repeating the arguments used in the Palestinian academies.
      — Rabbi Dr. Finkelstein (3)

      JEWISH BABYLONIAN TALMUD: SANHEDRIN, 55b-55a:
      “What is meant by this? – Rab said: Pederasty with a child below nine years of age is not deemed as pederasty with a child above that. Samuel said: Pederasty with a child below three years is not treated as with a child above that (2) What is the basis of their dispute? – Rab maintains that only he who is able to engage in sexual intercourse, may, as the passive subject of pederasty throw guilt (upon the actual offender); whilst he who is unable to engage in sexual intercourse cannot be a passive subject of pederasty (in that respect) (3). But Samuel maintains: Scriptures writes, (And thou shalt not lie with mankind) as with the lyings of a woman (4). It has been taught in accordance with Rab: Pederasty at the age of nine years and a day; (55a) (he) who commits bestiality, whether naturally or unnaturally: or a woman who causes herself to be bestiality abused, whether naturally or unnaturally, is liable to punishment (5).”

      JEWISH TALMUD, KETHUBOTH, 11a-11b.
      “Rabba said, It means (5) this: When a grown up man has intercourse with a little girl it is nothing, for when the girl is less than this (6), it is as if one puts the finger in the eye (7), but when a small boy has intercourse with a grown up woman, he makes her as `a girl who is injured by a piece of wood’ “.
      (footnotes) “(5). Lit., `says’. (6) Lit., `here’, that is, less than three years old. (7) Tears come to the eyes again and again, so does virginity come back to the little girl under three years.”

      JEWISH TALMUD, KETHUBOTH, 11a-11b.
      “Rab Judah said that Rab said: A small boy who has intercourse with a grown up woman makes her (as though she were ) injured by a piece of wood (1). Although the intercourse of a small boy is not regarded as a sexual act, nevertheless the woman is injured by it as by a piece of wood(a dildo).”
      (footnotes) “(1) Although the intercourse of a small boy is not regarded as a sexual act, nevertheless the woman is injured by it as by a piece of wood.”

      SANHEDRIN, 69b
      “Our rabbis taught: If a woman sported lewdly with her young son (a minor), and he committed the first stage of cohabitation with her, -Beth Shammai says, he thereby renders her unfit for the priesthood (1). Beth Hillel declares her fit…All agree that the connection of a boy nine years and a day is a real connection; whilst that of one less than eight years is not (2); their dispute refers only to one who is eight years old.

    1. You make a good point. I’m sure most Rabbis will ignore whatever I say IF they knew I was a convert. Maybe I shouldn’t advertise it. However, I’ve noticed that if they don’t know, most Jews in general will take my opinions into consideration as much as I can argue with valid sources and reasoning. There will always be the ones who will say I can never know enough as this or that rabbi/sage. I do what I can. The rest is up to God.

  4. I just found you on my resertion on the tempel of Hisikiel. I can relate to you . I have always belived in ONE G-D, but became saved truth JC or Yeshua when a later became messianic. Now just to put a name on it I cal myselfe a noahide, but spiritual it sems not realy correkt to see me as a noahide to. You are right even if I love judaism there is so mutch around this religion that dont make sense. This also goes to the future tempel, yes you are right about it looking verry simular to the time of Herrods tempel cos it dont fit in to the future tempel of what Hisikiel is discribing. That makes me also question my belivs also what is the truth. Cos I knowe that if the Messaia already came it would had been peace or SHALOM in the world witch means that it whas not JC but who whas He? And there are those that say that Hesiekels tempel is only symbolik cos the measurement would not fit if you built it in to Israel, it would bee werry big. I would like to have some help on this. Exuse my spellings, Im from Sweden. My name i Grace
