I see. Well, it is a free country. You are entitled to your choices.

Of course, your statement, “Once a person converts to Judaism they are Jewish for life,” is nonsense. It does not comport to the world we, or anyone else, lives in or ever has lived in. Nor does it comport to what the OT Scriptures say. Whether you see that now or later is inconsequential. And, while it may sadden and trouble you, it did not sadden and trouble him, as his entire lifetime thereafter testifies. And, as to whether you or he is in a position of greater knowledge, I will admit that I don’t know you at all. Him I do. I doubt you are of greater knowledge. I doubt it severely ... and I doubt it again ... and again ... and again. And I doubt even more sincerely that he thought he was abandoning the Torah - which he knew better in Hebrew than in German, Latin, or Norwegian, none of which, I dare say, I think you know.

So, contemplate nothing, if you will. That is your choice.

It is not a choice I would make.

Good day to you, sir.

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.
