I guess the best way to describe me is as a Messianic believer. I do not think of myself as perfect, in fact a part of being a believer means that you realize your not. I have weaknesses and struggles just like anyone else. But only by God's patience & mercy & only by his strength can I strive to achieve that perfection that is the example of Yeshua the Messiah. I became aware that I had been deceived all my life and my eyes were opened & only in the Mashiach can I realize what truth and true love really are. I have to put to death that old me, the one who lived according to the lies of this world, and bring to life, in me, the one who is in Yeshua the Messiah. I am anti-war, anti-capital punishment, pro-life & pro-love; anti-capitalist, pro-“from each according to ability, to each according to need”, pro-environmentalist. I believe that all authority belongs to God and I am pro-freewill. I believe in showing love to others, in helping others, & in peaceful resolutions. I believe in God & Yeshua the Messiah. I try to live this to the best of abilities in a world that is full of propaganda contrary to these. Yet, as one united in love we shall stand!--God's blessings to you my brothers & sisters Mercy, peace and love be yours in abundance--Barukh Shem kivod Malkhuto l'olam va'ed / Blessed be His glorious Name whose Kingdom is forever and ever!"and I thank the one who has given me strength, the Messiah Yeshua, our Lord, that he considered me trustworthy enough to put me in his service, even though I used to be a man who blasphemed and persecuted and was arrogant! But I received mercy because I had acted in unbelief, not understanding what I was doing. Our Lord's grace overflowed to me with trust and love that come through the Messiah Yeshua.So here is a statement you can trust, one that fully deserves to be accepted: the Messiah came into the world to save sinners, and I'm the number one sinner! But this is precisely why I received mercy - so that in me, as the number one sinner, Yeshua the Messiah might demonstrate how very patient he is, as an example to those who would later come to trust in him and thereby have eternal life. So to the King - eternal, imperishable and invisible, the only God there is - let there be honor and glory for ever and ever! Amen. "--1 Timothy 1:12-17
