1) I was not asking for your prayers, but responding to your own words which were along the lines of "may you be blessed" which I took as a sort of hope or wish. I made the distinction that this was not a prayer for me on your part, but the thought brought up actual prayer in my mind; hence my comment about children.
2) i am genuinely confused as to why you might think I am concerned about whether you hold some thing against me or not. I am not concerned about such really.
3)we agree about love bringing repentance.....
4)how much time do I have to work what out? My salvation? I would say that it need be worked out daily and actively, through belief in the direction and will of GOD as it pertains to my life. I would too say that saying and doing are two different things at times still. If I search very deeply I can find some level of doubt that seems to hold me back from letting go of all things but GOD. this doubt doesn't seem directed towards GOD; (for I have witnessed very great things by HIS working)but self. i do not believe in myself so much so in particular areas that it keeps me from wholly repenting of every knowing sin; every sin I am convicted of in my mind. It is a wholly unfounded doubt though and illogic at it's core. You are right though about not being able to merely claim to be faithful to GOD.
I don't doubt you have read the Bible friend. I did not mean to put that in your head. The entire bible is for the profit of man; and by profit I do not mean money or greed. Every word in the bible is in it for a multitude of reasons. Very much of the bible is composed of double and triple entendres and all of it holds manifold truth.
I only meant that men wrote the bible by the inspiration and direction of GOD, to different degrees perhaps.
peace

I encourage you to study more because what you are saying may not be entirely true.
As for my blessing you do not have it in your mind that I did not mean it, though my being Jewish it makes sense you would mention your family. However, Muslims do this sometimes or have done it or I think it at least and maybe it is not true that once a person attempts to bless you you can only have hold over them by your family, children, offspring. For that is what is closest to us. I do not have a wife or children of my own. In other words, hospitality is needed in America, but we have fear reasons for why we do what we do. If I was not prepared to pray for your family now it is not you it is your family and talking to you was about you
you said the inspiration and direction of God
rather 2 Timothy 3:16-17 says All Scripture is inspired by God...
I have known Muslims in the past, but you have a belief in God albeit you confessed bahai. I can't remember the reason for bahai
the only reason for my being concerned is that after understanding Islam and Judaism your way, or the way, you may have communicated that you are a Muslim or follower of Islam or that you were.
Judaism and the faithful, not being Christian or Catholic
well, read Scripture yes, but don't get stuck on religion
You can discard Judaism or understanding it for the truth of Scripture and God's Commands found in Israel, Judaism, the Torah, and the TaNaK, and even Matthew through Revelation though there may be an error there.
it may be difficult for you without the Law of Moses or the New Covenant
no need to be a Christian, but it is Biblical
it is important to believe the truth
maybe about God and about yourself
your relationship with God is important
fellowship
communion
but don't worry about the words
I don't accept the Creeds
I do accept the Jewish Canon.
