- How are culture and language inherently connected? Further, how have they shaped Christianity throughout the ages, depending on the various cultural contexts peopled lived in? In this Bible study, Tom Bradford will be explaining in detail, how we have adopted doctrine, depending on our worldview, and how this has defined our way we see Scripture.
Join us in this Bible Study on Christianity and its development.
This teaching is so important… I had a Russia grandmother that followed Jewish traditions, she came to America in the early 1900’s… she love Jesus and taught me that he was the way to the one true God. I don’t know if she was Jewish, but for me as a 6 year old who witnessed her for hours on her knees in the early morning weeping and praying to God I wanted to know how I could have that same relationship. I remember praying to God and saying I want Jesus, I also remember that I needed to put my complete trust in Him, I was only 6 but can remember that morning like yesterday! I’m 65 and am still a follower of Jesus… like you talk about being adopted into a family of believers sounds more like what happened to me that morning ❤️. Up-date… I’m in my 60’s and have read the Bible/scripture’s, yes I was a child but as a adult I had to search the scriptures for myself and have become a follower of Jesus Christ. I don’t even like the word Christian anymore because it has become such a broad definition.
Cristos means anointed.
Psalm 105:15 , Joel 2:28-29 + cross references. Ezechiel 36:25-27 .
@@frederickpile3599 I know what Christ means, I’m talking about to many people calling themselves Christians and don’t even know what it means and don’t even read Gods word.
Thank you Tom for this great explanation. Words like Christian and church have ceased to be in my vocab for several months now, and conversion will be added to the growing list. I've also started to realise that we should all be able to share the gospel and defend our faith solely from Scripture, just like Yeshua and the disciples/apostles did.
That would/should be our foundation stone. 🙌

Mr. Bradford, you are one of the BEST teachers of Scripture! You appeal to those of us who are willing to set aside thousands of years of "tradition," and learn the ways of the Master through His and His Apostle's/Disciples' lens. Thank you!
The word "church" really needs to be omitted from our Scriptural terminology probably more so than "conversion".
The origin of the word "church"...
"Circe" also spelled as "Kirke"...
Circe was a "lesser goddess" who lured men to their deaths by deceiving them...
Assembly was a perfectly good English equivalent to the Greek word Ecclesia...
Why "invent" a new word "church"? to mean the same thing as assembly?
I assure you that there was NO "church" in the wilderness... (Acts 7:38)
ya it’s if you get rid of the word church then conversion follows it out the door!!!
Thank you Tom for your explanation.. I normally share your word but, I closed my Truth Social as SO SO MANY are in denial of the Truth. I shook the dust off my feet and closed it. I want to be with those yoked not unevenly.. Shalom
Few people know the TRUE History of "the church"...
"Conversion" has a different meaning to those who have ancestors who went through or who have studied "The Inquisition"...
Those who would not "convert" were still being tortured and murdered as late as the early 19th Century...
Charles Spurgeon (also known as "the prince of preachers") documented the manner of torture in the papal dungeons in his publication "The Sword and the Trowel"...
General Garibaldi and his revolutionaries captured Rome in 1849 and opened the papal dungeons...
We can read about how these furnaces at Rome were laid open to the public to view into the dungeons of the "Holy" Roman Inquisition near the "Great Church of the Vatican" still containing the calcined bones...
The Roman Catholic Church invented ovens or furnaces which after being made red hot they lowered those who would not "convert" into them bound hand and foot....
Then the mouth of the furnace immediately closed over them ...
And they were being roasted alive in these ovens right next door to the Vatican...
Also exposed by Dr H Gratton Guinness in the convent of Santo Domingo Mexico in 1861.
He published photographs of the remains of those who would not "convert" who had been walled up and buried alive the expressions of their torment still recorded in their countenance...
Yes...
The term "convert" needs to be made to disappear...
@@YeshuaKingMessiah he is explaining that the word that usually Christians uses comes from Catholic mentality
There is more wisdom in this message than I have heard in over 90% of all sermons. Thank you
ya i go to a Hebrew roots assembly. we don’t really put that label on us. but not sure how to differeniate it. and ya i can’t listen to a christianese sermon now 😢
The rhema word that God has given me, quickened inside me to transform me. I pick up my cross daily and follow Him. He is conforming me, pruning me, moulding me...
I pray your teaching become known and accepted by all who believe and realize we were mislead...humble ourselves and change
Such a concise, tender and loving exposition… Thank you brother Tom.
WOW! For such a time as this. What excellent enlightening of scriptures. True, how can Paul “convert” when there was no New Testament to consult. Nothing had been written about Jesus yet. Paul had an encounter with Jesus of the third dimension 😅. No doubt left in his mind after that experience, but he still remained a Jew and highly educated at that. Thank you for this enlightenment. I delight and grow with your teachings and cow webs clear up.
Hebrew word for "turn"= teshuva
Thank you Pastor Tom for a great teaching! 🙏 Listening to you from Canada 🇨🇦.
Thank you for updating Bible teaching, Iistened from Indonesia.
Most people think there were only two or three sects in Judaism in the apostolic times. Pharisees, Sadducees and Essenes. No one ever talks about the Karaites. The Karaites believed much like Jesus. They were Torah purists who rejected the oral traditions but honored all of the scriptures: Torah, Prophets and the Writings. They still exist today but are a tiny minority, only about 40,000 world wide.
I’m sure glad I found you Tom. I find very little to disagree with you and I believe you are right on the money with this one. I use the word “Churchianity” instead of Christianity.
Thank you for sharing these teachings with us Pastor Tom!
What did Paul "convert" to?
Paul told us that he was STILL a Jew:
Acts 21:39 - But Paul answered, “I AM A JEW FROM TARSUS IN CILICIA, a citizen of no ordinary city. Now I beg you to allow me to speak to the people.”
Paul told us that he was STILL a Jew once more:
Acts 22:3 - “I AM A JEW, BORN IN TARSUS OF CILICIA, but raised in this city. I WAS EDUCATED AT THE FEET OF GAMALIEL IN STRICT CONFORMITY TO THE LAW OF OUR FATHERS. I am just as zealous for God as any of you here today.
Paul told us that he was STILL a Pharisee:
Philippians 3:5 - CIRCUMCISED ON THE EIGHTH DAY, OF THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL, OF THE TRIBE OF BENJAMIN; A HEBREW OF HEBREWS; AS TO THE LAW, A PHARISEE;
Paul told us that he was STILL a Pharisee once more:
Acts 23:6 - Then Paul, knowing that some of them were Sadducees and others Pharisees, called out in the Sanhedrin, “BROTHERS, I AM A PHARISEE, THE SON OF A PHARISEE. It is because of my hope in the resurrection of the dead that I am on trial.”
Paul told us that he was STILL worshiped the GOD of our fathers AND he believed everything laid down in the law and the prophets:
Acts 24:14 - I do confess to you, however, that I WORSHIP THE GOD OF OUR FATHERS ACCORDING TO THE WAY, which they call a sect. I BELIEVE EVERYTHING THAT IS LAID DOWN BY THE LAW AND WRITTEN IN THE PROPHETS,
It's to change the way they think.
Not to follow "Judaism" but to the true Torah...
Amen 🙏 we'll taught 😊
Paul kept the Sabbath
Alongside the Karaite Jews, there had always been a sect of Gentile “God Fearers” that worshiped alongside the Jews, but never completely converted. it seems to me that the congregations that Paul started were predominantly made up of these mixed groups, whose belief system was already very close to the teachings of Jesus.
Americans misunderstand and misuse some English words because they are not aware of the nuances involved so to focus on one word may just be this kind of issue. For example, I have issue with the way Americans use the word 'momertarily' as an adjective when it is an adverb in traditional English. We don't say minutely to mean we will be there in a minute or hourly when we mean we will be there in an hour thus we should not say momentarily to mean I will be there in a moment. This is so entrenched that most don't realize that it makes no sense.
Here’s my thought question: Re: the end of this video where you were explaining what Paul taught. Many Christians have been taught to think that they are spiritually Jews since they have turned from whatever to Christ and are not required to convert to Judaism, but since Paul says it’s “circumcision of the heart”, they are Jews.
Without conversion to Judaism, one is not legally clean and able to then raise children over generations that are Jewish. A righteous gentile must follow Torah completely to receive the spiritual circumcision Paul describes, but he would never be Jewish. To my way of thinking it sort of perpetually being in limbo. Conversion doesn’t make one Jewish ethically, but it’s does so spiritually, although there seems to be room for righteous gentiles. Re: Ruth. But, she married in and raised Jewish children once the Hebrews were termed Jewish. Accepting Christ doesn’t make you aligned with Judaism, it’s practicing Torah. Seeing Christ as the messiah makes you a fringe sect of Judaism that in today’s world isn’t even considered Judaism at all. Thoughts?
Jews are made up of the two tribes of Israel that lived in Judea. There is still the other ten tribes of Israel. Only those descended from Judah are really Jews.
Acts ch 11 v 26. The followers of Jesus were first called CHRISTIANS at ANTIOCH. So this brothers comment " there is no Christianity in the New testement" is obviously incorrect. Conversion is better e termed repentance. From a works based to gain salvation false doctrine to a saved by Grace alone Faith in the finished works of christ on the cross.
Was that a translation with an agenda? What does Torah teach? Obedience is strongly tied to faith and even more so salvation. Jesus was an observant Jew who taught Torah and all his followers were observant Jews who followed Torah and Paul was both a teacher and observant. It’s all about Torah.
What did Yeshua say to the churches in Revelation? ‘I know your works’
James 2:14 Faith without works is dead
Yes I noticed that Tom seems to have forgotten this verse.
@@dawnemile7499because I don't think that translation of the verse is legitimate.
Has the "RESTRAINER" been removed yet?
Dear Tom,
I completely agree that the word "conversion" is not useful. For us gentiles, the word "adoption" is much better, since it goes to the heart of what takes place in the Spirit: adoption into the New Covenant, and thereby adoption into the family of God, named after Christ.
I have some concern though, about the phrase "biblical Jewish faith" and you appearing to speak for the ongoing validity of Torah. The entire law part of Torah, the Mosaic Covenants and the covenant of circumcision have been abolished and replaced by the New Covenant in the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ.
The Gentiles are invited to enter the New Covenant by faith in Christ and by following its ordinances.
There is one assembly of the saints, called the Church in English. The Jewish members, messianic Jews, are part of the Church, ecclesia, and so are the Christian Gentiles. Messianic and Christian is the same thing, said in two different languages. There is no conversion in this. The advantage of the Jews was that God made the New Covenant with the Houses of Judah and Israel, so there was no adoption, just obedience required. Blessings in Christ! Kai
I think your right! I did a word search all the way back to the Hebrew on the words "Rest" and the word "LAWLESSNESS".
What I found and have come to believe is that the word "REST" in the end times prophecy about the people with the mark of the beast isn't referring to actual sleep or sitting down and should have been translated as sabbath or shabbot.
I also believe the word "LAWLESSNESS" should have been translated Torahlessness.
Because if it was referring to man's law then who's law counts for the prophecy? Is it Roman law, USA law, China law??? No its God's law I believe he is talking about.
It not only makes more sense but I believe may actually be the true meaning.
Which would take us back to your point on how the smallest words in the bible if translated wrong gives off a totally different meaning and if someone reads it and thinks of sleep or man's law but the auther meant Shabbot or Torahlessness it gives a really different understanding to those end times prophecies.
I wonder if you could do a word search and teaching on this? I do not want to go on believing this if I am wrong. They are not easy words to find on the strongs concordance website. I had to push all the number links to get to the Hebrew then paste it in google translate. Because I do not know Hebrew.
What I found gave me real understanding and meaning I believe and had a HUGE meaning change if I'm correct on just those 2 small words in those prophecies.
I would greatly appreciate your help in this because the last thing I ever want is to be deceived or to deceive others with a wrong understanding or meaning!
God bless you for all you do!
JESSICA B from Mansfield Ohio.
I have one but the internet site has more info all the way back to the Hebrew. I've done the research on it I just want someone with more knowledge and experience to do one as well so I can see if they come up with the same answer. If so it will mean so much and will change everything. Looking for confirmation on what I found
I use esword, it's a free download. It can make searching Hebrew and Greek super easy.
Jessica, I tried a few verses. The Greek for lawless is G459 anomos, the law is "nomos." The english word uses in KJV is "wicked." The Hebrew is H7563 rasha, meaning morally wrong. I could not find any connection with Torah. The Hebrew "torah" actually comes from a root meaning to point out, to teach, even to flow. Thus, the Torah is more a teaching, God pointing out what is right and wrong. It was written with the finger of God, pointing out. Blessings!
Paul 'converted' or turned around from not believing that Jesus was the Messiah into being certain that Jesus was the Messiah or Christ so it was a big change for him but that only confirms that what the Jews had been waiting for had been realized in Jesus. It changes Jewish practice because the need for animal sacrifices was over with the new priest and king so that there was no need for levites or Davidic kings ever again.
We make Disciples not converts.
At video point 30:40 Acts 11: 26. “And it was in Antioch that the disciples were first called Christians,” . . Did Tom miss this verse ??
All of the "commandments of God" must be obeyed for salvation, and that includes the Saturday Sabbath. 1-john-5:2-3, Revelation-12:17, 14:12, 22:14, Matthew-19:17, Mark-10:17, Luke-18:18, Matthew-24:35,
In Galatians-2:14, even Paul knows that for salvation, Peter and the other Apostles DEMAND and COMPEL NEW GENTILE BELIEVERS to live like the Jews.
"And it was in Antioch that the disciples were first called Christians"
No...
Tom KNOWS the actual word used for the first Believers...
They were called Messians...
The word "Christian" was not even thought of when the Book of Acts was written...
"Peter and the other Apostles DEMAND and COMPEL NEW GENTILE BELIEVERS to live like the Jews."
This goes against the teachings of Yeshua...
Jews of Judaism use a two handled cup to wash their hands five times...
Jews of Judaism put the fence up in the temple prohibiting "Gentiles" (non-Jews) to enter into the court upon penalty of death...
The yoke of Judaism is too heavy to bear...
It added oral torah and rabbinic traditions to the Word of GOD...
Yeshua told us to OBEY the Father's Commandments...
For THIS is how we show we love and know Him...
Isn't a "Gentile" ANYONE (regardless of ethnicity) who is outside of the Covenantal relationship with YHWH!?! That's my understanding anyway, so to say pagan's who came to faith in Yeshua were to remain "Gentiles" seems to be antithetical to their new found Faith!?!
Paul said:
And you are no longer a foreigner, of the nations or a gentile, but a citizen of Israel. (Ephesians 2:19 and 1 Corinthians 12:2)
There is NO SUCH THING as a Jewish or Gentile "Christian". (Galatians 3:26 through 29 and Galatians 3:7)
I like most people today have the problem in that my forefathers helped build the tower of Babel so the language I speak is a confessed language. I haven't studied Hebrew at this stage. Rav Shaul was not anti circumcision he was in fact a mohel who circumcised Timothy
Judaising as in Acts 15 was the attempt to bring these pagans who expressed faith in Yeshua under the authority of the oral Torah or traditions of the elders IN ORDER TO BE SAVED! That's what Paul was arguing against. Paul was NOT saying that the FORMER Gentiles did not need to be circumcised. In Acts 15, James' conclusion was that the Gentiles who were coming to faith in Yeshua should abstain from the four things mentioned (which were all tied to their former pagan ways of worship and were also in violation of the Torah) so that there could be " table fellowship " with the Talmadim of Yeshua (primarily) and that they should then go to the synagogue on Shabbat and learn Torah. The notion that one could be following Torah as Yeshua taught it and still be a Gentile is very hard to reconcile has a Gentile is anyone who is outside of the (new) covenant.
@@YeshuaKingMessiah
The Scriptures tell me these things:
Once you accept Yeshua as Messiah you are "Grafted IN" to Israel. (Romans 11)
And you are no longer a foreigner, of the nations or a gentile, but a citizen of Israel. (Ephesians 2:19 and 1 Corinthians 12:2)
There is NO SUCH THING as a Jewish or Gentile "Christian". (Galatians 3:26 through 29 and Galatians 3:7)
People who CLAIM to follow Yeshua the Messiah thinking they are still a gentile is one of the things that have caused so much confusion and so many false teachings in "the church"...
If they are still a gentile, then they have NO PLACE in any of the Covenants or the Blessings of Israel. (Jeremiah 31:31-34 AND Hebrews 8:8 through 10)
BUT...
If they INSIST as being counted as a "Gentile", then they will be counted as "the Nations" who come up to the Kingdom, not part of the Kingdom... (Micah 4:2, Zechariah 14:17)
There are NO "Gentile" gates or a "Church" gate in the Kingdom... (Revelation 21:12)

Still waiting for a phone call professor... I don't (we don't) have time for 'school' - the answer to the question is simple: NOBODY 'works' at 'night'. (Everybody 'works' in the 'day' - as ALL of our 'deeds' are exposed in the 'light'.
Paul explains this in Romans 2 (12-14). Nothing is EVER hidden from the Lord... HE works at night too. Psalm 139 (verse 11-12):
If I say, "Surely (I love that word don't you) the darkness shall cover me, and the light about me be night," even the darkness is not dark to You; the night is as bright as day, for the darkness is as light with you."
Sir? I am the secret arrow... that is hidden in the quiver. Can we get to work already??
We do NOT want the sun to go down on this 'anger' that is in the world... because then we will NOT have opportunity to explain 'why' it is this 'way'. If the LORD'S DAY comes (Amos 5: 18) we will have missed our opportunity - yet again.
Time is short... and it is almost 'night'. We can create the 1/2 hour of silence, but I could use a hand here.
I this I give you advice... pick a 'donkey' - not a 'horse'.
Will somebody please read from the 1828 webster's definition of convert for Mr. Bradford. And i quote (or copy and paste)
4. To turn from a bad life to a good one; to change the heart and moral character, from enmity to God and from vicious habits, to love of God and to a holy life.
Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out. Acts 3.
He that converteth a sinner from the error of his way, shall save a soul from death. James 5.
We have all kinds of words that have different meanings and must be put into context to understand it's meaning. KJV is the single best English translation with the best translators that exists. Is it perfect no. But, he has and i have no better.
I fully disagree. Did you year that from someone who read ancient Hebrew Bible? Check out Dr Michael Heiser.
This utuber reminds me of guy that does an afternoon teaching. Talks faith like David. But in reality its "jacking rental realestate" to pay for starting airline for off shore oil dev in Guyuana Soth Americia. Yup his rental are "up to fire code" too bad if Cdn fire code needs up grading with Photo Elect 30 min sooner from smoldering elect fire like cell ph etc. Innozation goes off on burnt food. But yeh these teachers speak as if they are so elightened. Faith like what? Term conversation is changing entire belief from pagan to Hebrew Faith. So when term.used "repent" was due to having all been taught ( they where taught of Hebrew children) but had turned from proper conduct. So then "turn back" ( repent) Gentiles had NOT been taught. So then need to change ( be converted" ) Utuber is out of contex on this "conversion" terminology. 1 Four Zero Three Eight Three Zero Fortyone Twentyfour beware. Lots just dont like some terms as lots just want nice soft terms. Giving itchy ears what they want to hear. To each their own really ? Covetousnesx is an abomination.

Both need resetected later. Lots of messianic Hebrew grouos are going to post - trib. Becoming more like UCG ( Armstong) no rapture. Beware
Beware of people teaching that Darby concocted a load of unblblical nonsense lied as opposed to what Yeshua the Messiah clearly told us in Matthew 24?
Beware of those people?
Yeah...
Okay...
Gotcha...
BTW...
If you're going to abbreviate the Books of the Gospel...
PLEASE use the proper abbreviations...
I've never read a Book of Math or a Book of Ezeck or Zeck in the Scriptures...
Maybe he thinks of a big boat as a yachet because of his big boat. I thoight of small boat lol.
Jesus calls to conversion. This call is an essential part of the proclamation of the Kingdom. The time is fulfilled , and the Kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the Gospel. In the Church's preaching, this call is addressed first to those who do not yet know Christ and his Gospel. Also, Baptism is the principle place for the first and fundamental conversion.. It is by faith in the Gospel and by Baptism that one renounces evil and gains salvation, that is, the forgiveness of sins and the gift of new life.
Yeshua NEVER called to "conversion"...
Yeshua came first preaching REPENTANCE...
(metanoeō in the Greek) (shub or teshuvah in the Hebrew)
What did the Apostles "convert" to?
WHERE is the Scripture (Book, Chapter and Verse) that states ANY of them "converted"?
WHERE is the Scripture (Book, Chapter and Verse) that states ANY of the Apostles were baptized for that matter?
"In the "church's preaching"
What about the Scripture's Teaching?
There is a conflict between these two...
I'll just tell you that the Scriptures do not lie...
And adding to and taking away from the Scriptures lead to serious consequences...
"Also, Baptism is the principle place for the first and fundamental conversion.."
When was the woman at the well "baptized"?
When was the blind man who Yeshua healed "baptized"?
When was the lame man who Yeshua healed "baptized"?
If water baptism were necessary for salvation, we would expect to find it stressed whenever the gospel is presented in Scripture. That is not the case, however. Peter mentioned baptism in his sermon on the day of Pentecost (Acts 2:38). However, in his sermon from Solomon's portico in the Temple (Acts 3:12-26), Peter makes no reference to baptism, but links forgiveness of sin to repentance (3:19). If baptism is necessary for the forgiveness of sin, why didn't Peter say so in Acts 3?
Paul never made water baptism any part of his gospel presentations. In 1 Corinthians 15:1-4, Paul gives a concise summary of the gospel message he preached. There is no mention of baptism. In 1 Corinthians 1:17, Paul states that "Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel," thus clearly differentiating the gospel from baptism.
Other examples include: The penitent woman (Luke 7:37-50), the paralytic man (Matthew 9:2), the publican (Luke 18:13-14), and the thief on the cross (Luke 23:39-43) all experienced forgiveness of sins apart from baptism. For that matter, we have no record of the apostles' being baptized, yet Jesus pronounced them clean of their sins (John 15:3--note that the Word of God, not baptism, is what cleansed them).
The Bible also gives us an example of people who were saved before being baptized. In Acts 10:44-48, Cornelius and those with him were converted through Peter's message. That they were saved before being baptized is evident from their reception of the Holy Spirit (v. 44) and the gifts of the Spirit (v. 46) before their baptism. Indeed, it is the fact that they had received the Holy Spirit (and hence were saved) that led Peter to baptize them (cf. v. 47).
Mark 16:16, a verse often quoted by Catholics to prove baptism is necessary for salvation, is actually a proof of the opposite. Notice that the basis for condemnation in that verse is not the failure to be baptized, but only the failure to believe. Baptism is mentioned in the first part of the verse because it was the outward symbol that always accompanied the inward belief.
Mark 16:16 - Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.
You will not that it DOES NOT state "but whoever does not get baptized will be condemned"...
But it DOES state "whoever does not believe will be condemned"...
.@@bawbjusbawb6471Baptism is necessary for salvation, read the Bible, not just part of it. Are you a Protestant ? Sacred Scripture in its written form (Bible) and in its oral form (Sacred Tradition) are the Word of God. They are both "inspired".
Please read this carefully: Baptism is the washing of regeneration and renewal BY THE HOLY SPIRIT, for it signifies and actually brings about THE BIRTH OF WATER AND THE SPIRIT without which no one can enter the Kingdom of God. Do you understand ?
Conversion is the same as repentance.
Protestants are guilty of violating their own doctrine, when they removed 7 books from the Bible.
From a biblical stand point I completely DISAGREE, and you are Biblically WRONG, Mr. Bradford.
along with your monotone voice , and 1000$$ words and not really addressing the Point of conversion. Very unconvincing.
If , you are even close to being halfway correct....
1. Completely wiped Torah portion Yitro away.
2. it does away with Acts 15... And those Turning to Yahovah
3. It does away with Acts 24, and Rabbi Shaul being a ringleader of the Sect of Nazarenes.
4. Wipes "devout" Jews.... And proselytes... Out of the Bible.
5. Timothy and Titus should not have gotten circumcised, which is in the Bible...
Wow, the list could go on ... However, most importantly. IN Dr.Sterns book... "Restoring the Jewishness of the Gospel" maybe an important message is ... The Renouncing creed that a, messianic Jew, a righteous Gentile, or National Jew Had to say to be accepted into the pagan Christianity empire of Rome.
So , do you follow The Messiah? Are you making disciples Of His Good News? When exactly does old ideas drop the microphone?
I agree...except for the mean-spirited criticism of Tom's "monotone voice"...(Considering going back and editing that out!). Shalom.
Since when is circumcision " Jewish circumcision "?

Paul DID NOT "convert"...
Paul was convinced and BELIEVED that Yeshua was the fulfillment of the Messiah as written in the Prophets...
"Conversion" is a Roman Catholic doctrine...
Many were tortured and murdered because they WOULD NOT "convert" to abominations mixed with pure worship...
The words used for "convert" in Acts 3:19 "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, " in the Scriptures, the Berean version as well as HalleluYah Scriptures and many other versions say to "turn or turn back"...
Paul "turned to the truth"
Paul "turned back" to what the Prophets wrote about Yeshua...
Paul DID NOT "convert" to worshiping Mary, celebrating fertility goddess and sun god worship and go around calling a man wearing a fish head on his own head "Jesus on earth"...
