Shalom! My name is Josiah, and I am a Messianic Jew. What does that mean? Well, being a Messianic Jew means I am ethnically Jewish, and I follow the God of Israel and His Son, ישוע Yeshua (Jesus) the Messiah. The Master Yeshua is God in the flesh, and He is the promised son of David and King of Israel. He freely gave His life in order to make atonement for the whole world and to take away our sins, and then God raised Him from the dead. If we believe in and follow Him, then we will live forever with Him; if we reject Him, then we will be condemned to eternal fire and punishment. I follow Yeshua the Messiah as the Jew that God made me to be, seeking to serve Him as a light to the nations (Isaiah 49:6, cf. Acts 13:47). That's why I maintain and value my Jewish identity as a believer.

"ישוע, Yeshua said to him, 'I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father unless through Me.'" -- John 14:6 (MJLT)

"With Messiah I have been crucified, and I no longer live—but Messiah lives in me. And that which I now live in the flesh, I live in the faith of the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me." -- Galatians 2:20 (MJLT)

I'm also the proud owner of CHT, the best club on chess.com. If you're a Bible-believing homeschooler, please apply and join the community!

I enjoy playing daily chess on a casual level with my friends, but occasionally I'll play competitively on the Variants server.

Other info about me: Since graduating homeschool high school, I have become a digital artist by trade, working on graphic design, animation, audio editing, etc. My favorite pass-times are personal digital art projects, writing, and chatting with my friends in CHT.

I'm online at various times throughout the day, but often play live games between 9:30 pm and 11:00 pm MST. I'm never online during the day on Saturday, since it's שבת Shabbat (or Sabbath).

Congrats on getting to the end of my bio! Here's a rickroll animation I made.
