Well said, Richard. I have a close friend who is fully shomer Shabbos, and a convert, who at one time had strong Jesus beliefs. He like you, started having serious difficulty fitting him (with a little h) into his beliefs. So he decided to covert. Took him 3 years and two beis din's, but he got there. A full blown a orthodox Jewish convert - that guy really worked hard to be a Jew - and full on!

6.5 what? Metric tons?

Can any of you explain to me that the meaning of the scripture "The zeals of thine house eat me up"?

FWIW

This is Tehilim 69:10 in the Tanakah.

For the envy of Your house has consumed me, and the humiliations of those who blaspheme You have fallen upon me.

Tehillim - Chapter 69 - Tanakh Online - Torah - Bible


Rashi Commentary

the envy of Your house: They saw the love that You showed us when Your house was still existing, and they envied me.

I pass on explaining it out of context.

I say HaShem works in mysterious ways...I was looking for a package store to buy a beer on the way back from Post...Saw a tobacco shop and thought to get some oil for my vapor pen and the owner happened to be Jewish...I was there am hour and a half talking... wow..

That's a Chrstian book (KJV), and I'm a Jew. You're asking your question in the wrong forum. I can't make any sense of your books.
