First of all,I’m a Ma’am and second,I never claimed to be an expert. I have a lot to learn,as all Jews do. It’s a lifetime learning process.
But you don’t understand Judaism. Once you become Jewish you will always be Jewish. There is nothing that can undo it. It’s not nonsense.
If you understood Judaism you would know that acceptance of Jesus is the abandonment of Torah. You would see that it is a sin and a grave mistake.
It doesn’t matter what he learned. He abandoned Judaism and the Torah when he accepted Jesus. This,according to Torah and G-d,is a sin. A very big sin.
You don’t understand this because you are not Jewish. You are not seeing it through a Jew’s eyes and as such you cannot make a judgement.
This would be akin to telling a Catholic that he or she is wrong in their beliefs,when it is not my place to tell Catholics anything about Catholicism. I would not blame them if they became angry and offended.
What do I have to contemplate? Going back to Christianity? It won’t happen. I made a committment to Judaism,Torah and my fellow Jews. I cannot turn my back on it.
My apologies for addressing you as “sir.”
As I said before, I know of a couple of cases very similar to yours ... one of which is a woman.
“If you understood Judaism ...” Ahhh, of course, I don’t. How could I? There is no way. So, whatever you say, you are the expert. Foolish me. How little I know, even compared to one who by her own admission “has a lot to learn.”
One caveat. The zeal of the new convert, while great, is often outweighed by his - or her! - lack of understanding of how much others may know. I am sure, though, in your case this is not true. I am bested, and will leave the field of battle to you, the clear victor.
Rest comfortably this night in your superior knowledge.
On the other hand: “For I tell you, unless your righteousness exceeds that of the Scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.” (Matthew 5:20)
But, on still another hand, who is Jesus to say anything of the kind, even though many called Him the Christ? Surely you know better.
The usual response to the who-is-jew question is one born to a Jewish mother or converted according to halacha.
But there is a deeper answer. A Jew is one with a Jewish soul, regardless of circumstances. Esau leapt in the womb when his mother neared a place of idol worship. Jacob leapt near a House of Study. The Jewish soul cannot comprehend and is even repulsed by the lust for idol worship that Esau can’t resist.
