Originally An Answer on Quora: To the Christian Whom Is Considering Mainstream (Non-Messianic) Judaism

 If you’re a Christian, you already practice what was recognized as a form of Judaism by even the Pharisees (albe begrudgingly) until 90 CE/AD at Yavne—whether you are regrafted into the olive tree (a Jew whom believes in Jesus) or grafted into the olive tree (a gentile whom believes in Jesus). You could therefore denominationally practice Messianic Judaism (The ethnic distinction of “Messianic Jewish” belongs to Ethnically-Jewish Christians—whether Patrilineal, Matrilineal, or mixed-blooded Jews—alone.).

If you’re thinking about converting to mainstream (Non-Messianic) Rabbinic, Karaite, or Samaritan Judaism, you should consider that you would more than likely be asked to deny (not just remain faithless to Jesus; also outright deny) Jesus by the rabbi or ḥakham whom would oversee your conversion. Keep in mind that if you deny Christ, He will deny you. If you want to take that risk, though, that’s up to you—just remember that you are risking what the Scriptures warn about denying Christ and therefore trampling the Son of God underfoot. As the Scriptures say, “If we deny Christ, He will deny us. If we are faithless, He will remain faithful, for He cannot deny himself.”

“Rich Girls”, (Trigger Warning) Rape, and To Whom the Blame Belongs

 After being (allegedly and very likely) raped by a producer, Jaime Gleicher of “Rich Girls” is finally able to confront her (likely) rapist in court. Jaime Gleicher’s case is a reminder of the following: the only wrong place, time, etc. for any rape victim is when her or his victimizer puts her or him there. Even though she was legally an adult, she was a 19-year-old child (not yet 20) and victimized at the hands of an adult man whom had a particularly-inordinate amount of power over her.

“She shouldn’t have even pursued a career in reality TV, much less entertainment otherwise”? He shouldn’t have victimized her, let alone exploited her career ambitions to sexually abuse her—and she has the right to pursue whatever career she wants without being sexually and/or otherwise abused, no matter what one thinks of her professional aspirations.

“She shouldn’t have gone into his room”? He shouldn’t have raped her, regardless of where they were.

“She should have left with her friends”? Her “friends” should not have allowed him to hold her against her will and drug her.

“She shouldn’t have taken off her shirt”? He shouldn’t have blackmailed her into doing it. 

“She should have or shouldn’t have…” whatever else? He shouldn’t have victimized her, and you shouldn’t be blaming the victim.

By the way, no amount of money that she gets from her lawsuit will ever give her back what her (alleged) victimizer took from her—as made her poor in many ways.

Commentary: An Example of When Especially the Wicked Who Deliberately Misuses God’s Name Does Not Prosper

 When I read that Carrie Underwood talked about supporting gay marriage in direct defiance of what Jesus said, I more than knew for certain that she is not a righteous person. I wondered why someone like her would prosper so much. Now I see that, assuming that what is being said about her is true, she is not prospering.

 The wicked who mislead others (e.g., say that Jesus taught us to love others in supporting gay marriage when Jesus was very clear about marriage) will ultimately not prosper (despite what their “gay friendly” churches teach). Jesus taught that marriage is between a man and a woman, and Carrie Underwood has long used her platform to blaspheme Jesus in His own Name in this matter and other matters. For instance, her net worth is anywhere from $140,000,000 to $150,000,000 according to quite a few sources that I’ve read. What kind of person who is truly following Jesus uses His Name for her or his gain and hoards massive amounts of wealth instead of gives of her or his wealth to the poor and stores her or his own treasures in Heaven?

I know that, meanwhile, we are supposed to pray for even the wicked and not delight in even the difficulties which the wicked have brought upon themselves. Nonetheless, I assume that quite a few of us have to feel assured that God keeps His promises and ultimately does not let the wicked—especially the ones whom mislead others in the very Name of Jesus—prosper.

#TimeTravelTuesday: you’ll have to excuse me if I hate Momma

 Last month, she made me dress up in a bandana and then invited one of my friends in my house without telling me that a friend was coming over—and she knows how jealous I get. 








Momma says that he was coming to pick up a toy that she made for him. I think that he was just coming over to get whatever Halloween treats are and to take all the scritches away from me—talk about tricks and treats!

Why I Have Been More Quiet Online Lately

 One of those days…I don't see my life getting better, and every good thing in my life has something bad outweighing it—as if the price for having something good in my life is at least one bad thing—and any good thing being not as long-term, sticking, or meaningful as it could be (often because there always seems to be a price to pay for it). 

For example, I have Reilly and can’t be as good of a “Momma” to her as I’d like—and I get judged for getting her from a responsible breeder. I was advised to not adopt by my physiatrist at the time for multiple reasons. I actually also missed much of Reilly’s first year in many ways because of a severe Depression flareup—and even now, my night owlism partly due to my Depression being exacerbated is not helping her. 

I often wonder if I did something bad enough and what exactly I did that God decided to everything good in my life (e.g., Reilly) must come with something bad (e.g., being a crappy “Momma” to Reilly in many ways) as a price for having that good in of itself—or does God make me suffer just because He can (and God has the right to do that)? By the way, I grant that others have gone through similar or even worse. Even so and in fact, how I can be strong enough for others if I am not strong enough for myself? 

Anyway, there it is, if I seem to have been more quiet lately: now you know why.
