Question for those of you who were Christians before marriage but converted to Judaism?

How did you decide that you do not believe in Christ anymore? Did you ever? Did you just go through conversion ritual for the sake of marriage?Hope this is not offensive, cause I am just curious.Question for those of you who were Christians before marriage but converted to Judaism?
I can only tell you about the experience of a woman that I know. She married a Jewish man in the mid 50s. She decided to convert for her husband and for her future children. In order to convert she had to sign a blasphemous statement insulting Jesus. She later became very active at her synagogue going so far as to buy a bus for the Yeshiva. Years later she traveled to Israel had a vision of Jesus and became messianic. One of her sons later became a Christian. Her family sat Shiva for the son and disowned him. The family became fragmented.





Years later she regretted most of all what the Rabbi made her do. Conversion to Judaism is a serious thing unless you are absolutely sure of your decision that this is what you want for you don't do it. Don't do it for someone else.Question for those of you who were Christians before marriage but converted to Judaism?
You know, I recall reading, about 10 years ago about a man whose religious background was Christians, but, personally regarded himself as an agnostic. He was engaged to marry a Jewish woman, but, broke off the engagement because her family wanted him to convert to Judaism.





The reason he did not want to convert totally surprised himself: He just could not give up the Lord Jesus.
I'd just like to point out that converting to Judaism is not just a matter of saying ';now I'm Jewish.'; You have to study with a Rabbi for a year or two before conversion and the Rabbis are very good at knowing whether this is a serious commitment or not.
It's strange to me that people can change to whichever religion is convenient to them, like it's a hat or something, but still go on thinking they need religion.
All I can tell you is that I will never give up my love for Yeshua (Jesus) for the love of a man. That is exactly what my dentist did, she used to be a Catholic and converted to Judaism for the love of a man.
