@Ditty I meant to say i drew a picture of my father before lol

wow... this is... so powerful writing!

looks really cool, you live with him?

@Ditty I moved back with Mom in feburary. So i lived with him about 8 months until then.

sow... this sounds so hard to live with someone with others believe specially when he is you father and orthodox x_x i... rrrrr my English is so bad :sob: just like you really brave guy... (no brave, also but idk how to say this word)

@Ditty If only i could speak hebrew well :skull: but don't worry you're fine. It would have been easier to live with him if he wasn't so anti christian. I do my best to respect his beliefs, but he rarely respects mine. I wish he could respect that im not hateful like many christians are..

I KNOW!!! because the Judaism is so anti other religions!!! the teacher today thought us about when the Messiah will come that every jew will have at least 2,800 people ill help him (like hmm king thst one bake other clean, idk how to say that word) and also that when he will come its will be the best we dont know exectlly whqt but its will be the best ever and i like why i need 2,800 (...*) oh and i forgot all the 2,800 is not jews, yes? like who wasnt jew but ws good "will be to us" and...

(continue...) and who was bad (not Jewish) will o to the he!! -_- like what?!?!? why is it good? like i dont like to see bad to others!!! its not my good!!! and i know that Christians are wrong but they just WRONG why they will be ours?!?!?? there are people who even dont know what/who is jews....?!?!? i believe in god dont see me like that but i think that someone took everyhing here too radical... x_x i wantthat will be good to EVERYONE. dont need my good dont need people will serve me

(continue...) me just want a real good!!! for everyone...! and you know the torsh tell us to be nice to who serve us (for example if i have 1 pilow i need to give its to him, 1 bad to givve him also food he need to get like me) but still!!!! because they didn't born jews its need to be like that?!? i know that also a lot of people that be jews (not born...) they go more radical (like me lol, hehe i mean like my family and friends, we not really radical but we still ultra orthodox, like we more

(continue...) open in our minds and we not just look at ourself, i for example have switch) like your father is against Internet and like that or not so much?

we have Internet for example all my classmate dont have x_x

iil- will* (in my first comment)

@Ditty Jewish people have been a part of my life. And i'm the type of christian who's beliefs are based off of jewish laws and even some principals. For me to disrespect ANY religion [even jewish people] is a SIN. But Dad told me that his beliefs allow him to even MOCK my beliefs. It feels ba but i have to remember that not all jewish people are the same.

I appreciate that you seem more accepting and respectful. And just because you don't necessarily believe in Jesus, you have a love for God. Hashem sees us all for who we are. He loves people who are kind and respectful to all.

Dad isnt against internet but he is against christianity and he's very islam-phobic. He's never really been open minded. He's always been rigid. But i admit that i was misguided about judaism and i wasn't very excepting when he was learning. But i was very young.

When i learned it was a sin to judge others religions, i felt so bad and i started to actively try to be more understanding. When i gained a better understanding of my own religion, he started calling me a pagan and saying i was letting myself be misguided....

You know i'm thinking about his side... its crazy because he just raised a Christian child and he wasn't allowed to convince you to convert, because there's such a prohibition, so his being pressured that he already discovered the truth is really hard because he actually sees his child wrong and i believe you mother didnt exactly let him raise you in a Jewish way and you also old enough to convert, so it drives him crazy... from his perspective his life's dream is for you to become jew but he's

(continue...) allowed to convince you! the part with the idolater is a bit painful because you see your self as a divine religion but because some Christian actually see Jesus as a God himself, that makes it an idol (i hope I'm not wrong :sweat_smile: because if i am, I'm really sorry, thi isnt information i heard at home or school, i opened Wikipedia and learned that way so i hope im not wrong) in any case, i widsh you good luck :)

p.s i used goggle translation, i hope thee are no mistakes :)

@Ditty I understood what you said don't worry lol :laughing: But yk i believe that to an exent too. Dad does want me to see it from his point of view and i do understand to a degree. Believe it or not, Mom never restricted me from learning about other religions. And she said that if i wanted to be jewish like Dad is, she wouldn't stop me. I'm comfortable in my beliefs honestly, but i like people of any religion.

@Ditty there are different types of christianity. So my denomination doesn't believe that Jesus is God. We believe that God is YHWH [but our pronunciation is latinized] and that Jesus is the promised Meshia [don't know if i typed that right]. We're supposed to imitate jesus, not worship him.

I don't believe anyone is wrong for what they practice. I hate people who oppose others religions. So i make a point to be uderstanding to all. Thank you for being so understanding to me :smiley:

i also think so but i gave you for example what my teacher said... so lets say they wrong, is it what need to happen to who wrong ? and its no even that!!! the Christian are just believe in others way! you on Jesus and we believe on Moses as our leader...so yes..... id really know what to say lo :) its just idk lol you are really amazing good luck with the whole things in your life :) god bless you! be'ezrat hashem (with the help of gos:wink:) you will have a great life :)

gn from israel :)
