    Gentlemen, there will always be a group that is more observant that will never accept a convert, except by their own standards. She chose her path- let her be.

    According to Judaism (the religion you claim to promote and be a leader of) performing acts of homosexuality is not allowed. So im just curious... how do you explain this hypocrisy?

      Precisely. In 70AD as Yeshua promised, not one stone of the temple would be left upon another. Because he would build the new temple, his body the Church and we his people would dwell in him. Yeshua abolished and brough an end to the Mosaic system. How can she practice Judaism when their most important thing in their world is destroyed?

      Female homosexuality isn’t addressed in the Bible

      Hey I’m Jewish
      Here’s some tanakh commentary:
      22: Biblical and ancient Near Easter culture was not familiar with homosexuality in the sense of a defined sexual orientation or lifestyle in the sense of love between two human beings (according to the biblical evidence David and Iona-than had no sexual relationship). It acknowledges only the occasional act of male anal intercourse, usually as an act of force associated with humiliation, revenge, or subjection EX.GANG RAPE (for the biblical examples see Gen. 19.4-5; Judg. 19.22). Of the biblical legal collections only H mentions it (here and in 20.13), declaring it to be an abominable act and a capital offense. It seems that views all sexual acts that are not potentially procreative as aberrant.
      Jewish beliefs is the idea that all human beings are created b'tzelem Elohim, in the image of God (god does not makes mistakes and there’s a reason we are made) and that we are God's partners in improving the world. Tikkun olam, the repair of our world,

    It is very sad that this woman has never known the Gospel of Hashem or the true Messiah who said, "let the little children come to me, for such is the kingdom of Heaven. In the messianic synagogues I have attended, every single one encouraged children to sing and dance with shouts of joy that Mashiach has come into the world and established his eternal Kingdom. The enemies of Yeshua in the name of Yeshua over the centuries have not been a few. They have been growing ever since the inception of the ecclesia. This woman has most likely NEVER once seen a true Christian assembly. Yes it is a shame. Yeshua is the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords and will cause all to bend the knee. Even if you reject him, when you stand before the creator of all that is, your knees will give out as you for a moment behold him in all his beauty. Shalom

      Dude.... No. Messianic "Jews" are Christians. Jesus, Yeshua whatever you want to call him simply didn't fuffill the role of the messiah... A rabbi who might have had some weird ideas, but nothing Jesus/Yehoshua did was what the messiah was supposed to do. Unfortunately the swords were not pounded to plowshares.

      @@vitazissel3671 The kingdom that Yeshua brought was not an earthly Kingdom. It is a heavenly Kingdom which does not come with observation. In the New Covenant, the Gospel was not to be spread with force by war but by peace. Hence, in the Kingdom which is from above, we learn the art of physical war no more. We conquer our the world for the Jewish Messiah through peace, turning the other cheek and loving our enemies.

      To clarify, I am not against her being gay. I’m against her leaving Christianity to “become a Jew” and a “Rabbi” all because she felt “connected to Judaism” (modern Judaism that is) in that she could be queer and “be Jewish”. That is such a slap in the face to every ethnic Jew who has faced persecution over millennia for simply being a Jew. And furthermore, she is part of the Reconstructionist sect, which I don’t like. Anyhow, I’m not her judge. Only G-d is. But I don’t like her reasoning for converting, at all.
