"focused on getting a good university place and I managed

Medieval Languages," ----- LOL ahhahah Modern Medieval Languages?? No...Modern A N D Medieval languages. (That Tommy Boyd) There you write focused with one s.
@usenetposts I read it all yesterday. Very well written, interesting and exciting. I'll mention it to people I know. Pretty impressive experiences you've had in your life.
I found 3 typos and you write one word in two ways: focused/focussed
Your process toward Christianity was many discussions with your Christian schoolfriend and an unusual experience you had in your room. Is that right?
@NimlotArt That was part of it, but I analysed every religion, and thought for years and years about evolution and why it didn't make any kind of sense to me, before choosing this one. I spoke to many Christians and read a lot of books also.
After being a Christian I have had many events confirm my choice and a relationship with God. I was able to get through discussions with all sorts of people with opposite views unscathed.
@NimlotArt For the avoidance of doubt I do not claim to have looked at every point of every religion. I was able to look at main tenets of groups of religions at first and discount even groups of religions from further study if certain key ideas I found false in them. The closer I got to the theology that made sense to me and answered my questions, the more I studied the alternative religions in depth.
@NimlotArt Thanks for promulgating. In fact there are more typos than that but the whole story needs to be re-done anyway as there is are many more things worth including, that was a first pass done eighteen months back.
@usenetposts Yes! I realize that you didn't include 90% or more. You just dropped few bombs. You didn't go into any depth because the format wasn't suited for it. You mention it also in your text. You certainly have plenty of stuff for an exciting and very interesting and extremely enjoyable thick book to read. I'm looking forward to the outcome of it. This is what I like to read. I'm too old for fiction. You probably have enough stuff for 3 or 4 books if you include t b c
@NimlotArt That's because they are the jewel in the crown of humanity. Especially Jesus, of course. He could have been borne to any people He liked, so He chose the Jews.
@usenetposts Yes. Yes indeed. Well...isn't it strange that the Jews don't believe in Jesus...their fellow Jew and Judas the Jew betrayed Jesus the Jew for 30 pieces of silver?
It's also strange that God let bad things happen to the Jews in the 2nd WW. It's all very confusing and complicated.
I thought Jesus was a carpenter .....was he in the "jewellery" business? I wonder what Jesus charged for his service.
@NimlotArt It isn't strange at all. It was purposed so. The reasons are all given in Romans and it's no fault of the Jews. They will all be saved, and they are still God's special people. Most Jews at the time of the New Testament did in fact become Christians, so only a minority of the descendants of Abraham are not already Christian. They are there for a reason and that reason is not for any christian to feel hatred for them or more entitlement than they have to God's earth and His promises.
@usenetposts Well...I'm sorry to say that REAL Jews don't believe in Jesus at all:
Judaism's view of Jesus
From Wikipedia:
Jews have traditionally seen Jesus as one of a number of false messiahs who have appeared throughout history.[1] Jesus is viewed as having been the most influential, and consequently the most damaging, of all false messiahs.
Real Jews consider Jesus as a FALSE MESSIAH! That's what they think about Jesus.
@NimlotArt Some real Jews think that and some unreal Christians think so too. But there are also some real Jews and every real Christian who know that Jesus is a real Jew and the real Messiah.
@usenetposts Well...Judaism is a huge component of the Jewishness. But as you point out ...it's all debatable. Everyone thinks his/her religion is the only right one. Same with you my friend.
It would be nice to know if you've ever analyzed how you became Christian. Have you ever written the process down on paper. Have you ever honestly thought deeply about it for ....let's say about 2 hours with a critical mind? What were the logical steps? Were there logical steps?
@usenetposts Yes I did. To be honest...I didn't write the process down on paper. But I've thought deeply and honestly and with critical mind about my "world view"....which isn't totally fixed. It has changed as I've gotten older. To make things clear: I respect all people and their choice of religion. Interesting to view:

I understand that you don't want answer my question.
@NimlotArt I think I spent so much time on it to ask me about two hours or so is even a bit insulting. Anyway, the whole process is outlined in my part of the book "the Polyglot Project".

@NimlotArt .....your thoughts. It would be nice to have a chronological based books with detailed narrative of your life including your thoughts.
Now about religion. For some reason I watched this yesterday and I must say that there is a winner and a loser in this debate:
watch?v=1k3JAnWf5i4&feature=related
I'm only talking about the outcome of the debate not about my belief.

Interesting. But has "jewellery" something to do with jews? All I know is that the jews totally control the diamond business.

@usenetposts "What about ‘focus’?
This word can take either double or single s, with the single option being highly preferred."
Now you know what I'm doing.
