Messiah/Jewish Information
Question
I am a 32 year old living in South Texas, I grew up in a very strict, fanatical christian family. At one time, I was also very charismatic and had plans to become a Pentacostal minister like other members of my family. I won 3 state bible championships and went to nationals. Then I enrolled in bible school. Suddenly I began to question the church and could not come to terms with some of it's beliefs. To hide my new found ideology, I moved to San Antonio. I recently moved back home when my father died, and now I find myself once again in the midst of unbearable fundamentalism and intolerance. However, I cannot share with my family my disapproval of thier doctrine, for fear of expulsion. My question are, other than gathering the dispersed of Israel, and rebuilding the temple, what are some of the other characteristics and prophecies required of the Moshiach that Yeshua did not fulfill. And, though I was not born Yehudim, I would like to know more about your faith and perhaps even convert. I have started learning hebrew and began the Daf Yomi. Please respond and pray for me. Shalom!
