What can happen is the acceptance of Jesus Christ as the Messiah promised by God in the covenant described in the Torah (and other Scripture as well). Barring any argument from Yiri, Christianity is the fulfillment of Judaism brought to the Jew first and to the Gentile (see Romans 1:16). As Jeff Sargent said so eloquently, Christ is the High Priest (see Hebrews 2:17) and the Sacrifice (Hebrews 9:13-14). He requires ``our'' lives as a living sacrifice (Romans 12:1). We must be dead to ourselves and alive to Him (Romans 6:4-11). If you're considering Christ, you're on the right track. Just as Him to make Himself real to you. I hope that nothing that has been said will discourage you for seeking the truth. Julie A. Harazduk philabs!jah
