NatashaParticipantI think converting to Judaism is a pretty good idea. I’m a Christian (non-denominational) but I just began thinking about converting (I’m nowhere near a decision, though). Anyway, don’t forget that there are different sects of Jews. For instance, some Jews believe in Jesus (Yeshua) as Messiah. These are called Messianic Jews. You should try to find out more about the different groups if you decide to convert. Some are Orthodox, some are not.

NatashaParticipantSomebody’s got to pay, Susan. God said so. I don’t know where people get the idea that God does not require sacrifice. God has always commanded sacrifice. He was the one who commanded animal sacrifices in the ancient days. The Bible says ‘Without shedding of blood, there is no remission of sins.’ (Hebrews 9:22). Somebody’s got to pay. That’s the way God made the world. He made the grass green and He made the sky blue. And yes, He requires sacrifice, He made the world to work that way. The blood of animals used to be the thing that cleansed sin but it was not perfect. The blood of Jesus was perfect. That’s why He only had to do it once whereas animals had to be sacrificed continually. People think that because God is loving, he won’t ever punish or demand that sins be paid for. That’s not true which is why He made is a hell, for Satan and other rebellious angels. God said they have to pay and they will, in hell. Along with anyone else who doesn’t want Jesus’s blood washing away their sins. We can either accept Jesus’s free sacrifice or pay for our sins ourselves. But if we have to pay for our own sins, it’s going to be hell to pay, literally. Y’know everybody talks about how God is supposed to be so loving ALL THE TIME. But He never said that that’s how He is, read His word. He destroyed Sodom with fire. He destroyed the Egyptians with plagues and drowned their army in the Red Sea. But the thing about God is, He lives by His own rules. He said someone’s got to pay for the world’s sins and so He made someone pay…His own son. How many of us would let our kid go through that for this crummy world?

NatashaParticipantI am not offended by sloppily dressed whites. (They are free to dress that way if they want to) But I know that as a black person who wants respect, dressing sloppily is an indulgence I cannot afford. I work in Washington DC (a conservative town, as my boss describes it) and the couriers around here who ride bikes often have that radical (and sometimes raggedy) stunt-biker look. One of these couriers – a white one – told me that sometimes building managers make them use the back entrances because of how they dress. At that point, it’s not about race, it’s about decency and professionalism. I’m not sure if African-Americans and other minorities realise that white Americans can’t always get away with sloppy dressing just because they’re white. The truth is, they can’t, nobody can get away with that all the time.
