Samuel Barness has his Bar Mitzva
13 year old Samuel Barness recently had his Bar Mitzvah, so Paul Calvert thought he'd meet up with him to find out more.
Paul: Is a Bar Mitzvah when you become a man in Jewish culture?
Samuel: Yes
Paul: So how was it taking your Bar Mitzvah?
Samuel: It was really nice! I studied for the reading of the Bible for a few months and I had a speech. I also invited my King's Kids group to sing and dance.
Paul: So you're a Christian?
Samuel: I'm a believer yes.
Paul: Is it important to have a Bar Mitzvah as a Christian?
Samuel: If you are Jewish then you are supposed to do it. It's part of being Jewish. Also I believe because Jesus was also Jewish he made his Bar Mitzvah too.
Paul: So were you brought up in a Christian family?
Samuel: Yes, I've been a Christian all my life but I really came to believe and know Jesus when I was 8 years old. I was in my church and just started to see stuff that I had never seen before. I took the New Covenant (Testament) to my house and started to read it every night and a few months later I was baptised.
Paul: So do you feel it was the best thing you've ever done in your life?
Samuel: Yes.
Paul: How do you feel about becoming a Christian at such a young age?
Hello! I found your website. My name is Anders Branderud and I am from Sweden. I study Orthodox Judaism.
I would just like to write some words.
I am a follower of Ribi Yehoshua – Mashiakh – who practiced Torah including Halakhah with all his heart.
He was born in Betlehem 7 B.C.E . His faher name was Yoseiph and mother’s name was Mir′ yâm. He had twelve followers. He tought in the Jewish batei-haknesset (synagogues). Thousands of Jews were interested in His Torah-teachings. Some Jews who didn’t practice Judaism where threatened. They decided to crucify him. So they did - together with the Romans. His followers were called Netzarim (meaning offshoots [of a olive tree]) and they continued to pray with the other Jews in the synagogues.
Christianity does not teach the teachings of Ribi Yehoshua. Ribi Yehoshuas teachings were pro-Torah; Christianity is anti-Torah.

Hasheim – the Creator of the universe – loves you. If you want to have a relation with Him you need to follow His Torah.
Be blessed when you practice Hasheims Torah and His mitzwot!
