One of the finest books I have ever read on this subject is Salvation is from the Jews by Roy Schoemann.

Thank you, Coleus, for posting this beautiful conversion story.

As we enter a new year, there are several Freepers attending RCIA. Like all journeys, RCIA has a beginning, a path and a destination. It is a sojourn through four periods of awakening, growth and formation marked by celebration of three major rites involving the faith community. The periods are: Inquiry, Catechumenate, Purification & Enlightenment, and Mystagogia EXPLAINED HERE.

The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) is a community-based faith journey where the entire community nurtures all who seek to know the "Way of Christ (The Way of the Cross)" as pilgrims. This walk is not done alone. The community accompanies each "seeker"; supports them by prayer while offering examples and instruction about our God, our Faith and our Mission. The journey is a time of "letting go" and "building up" through scripture, prayer and dialogue. RCIA is time spent discerning through prayer and dialogue whether the "walk of faith" each seeker takes leads them to join the Roman Catholic Church.

As fellow freepers, these members of the Tiber Swim Team are preparing for reception into the Catholic Church and need our support. Please remember them in your prayers.

And may our Lord and Savior, accompany them on this journey! To Him be glory forever.

Her brother David now leads the Association of Hebrew Catholics, a community that helps Catholics of Jewish origin to realize that they need not abandon their heritage in becoming Catholic.

Thank you for a lovely story to start the new year

So this Moss guy becomes a Christian, spends 18 years as a Protestant, crosses the Tiber and Catholics spin it as though he suddenly found the "true" Israel? Some things never change. No matter how ya try to slice and dice it, a former Jew turned Hebrew flavored Catholic is still a trinitarian. This book is more shameless suppercessionist drivel.

It must be a Happy New Year!

....... I wondered why He did that. He certainly didn’t have to.
This led me to wonder why He changed the water into wine,
when He could have just gone poof and made the change..........

For all those who have wondered why Y'shua changed water into wine
when He could have just gone poof; the answer lies in NUMBERS 19.

The water that Y'shua changed was not the water we think of,
it was not drinking water. It was the water of purification as detailed in NUMBERS 19.

The water of purification was used to remove sin under the old covenant.
By the act of changing the water of purification into wine, Y'shua
ended the OT means of removing sin.
This is the beginning of the New covenant as outlined inf JEREMIAH 31:31

Y'shua by this miracle pointed to His power to remove sin.

Y'shua demonstrated that He was greater than the Red Heifer.

Later He would become the Pesach Lamb,
removing sin forever to all who would look to Him for salvation.
