Jews that believe in Jesus Christ as the messiah

Messianic Jews are a group of people with a severe identity crisis! They believe they can be Jews and believe in Jesus, without being called Chrisitians. Someone needs to explain to them that the word "Christian' means a "believer in Christ", the Greek for messiah!
Jews, no mattrer what their level of observance, and no matter what their affiliation, are unanimous in declaring Messianic Jews, and Jews for Jesus, as nothing more than Christians intent on converting as many Jews as possible!

Messianic Judaism refers to a group of loosely related religious movements which combine Christian theology with Jewish religious practice. These groups range from those comprising mostly of Jews to those which are mostly gentile in membership; the majority are mixed. Perhaps the best known of the Messianic groups, although certainly not the largest, is the controversial Jews for Jesus. Its stated aims are to educate Evangelical Christians concerning the Jewish origins of their Christian faith, and to convert Jews to Christianity.

They have a synagogue in Indianapolis. They are Christian Jews. They still don't eat pork and they still celebrate Passover. They believe that Jesus is the Messiah and the Son of God. They have their Sabbath on Saturday and keep a lot of the rules of the Jews.

It is correct that these are Jews that believe that Jesus is the Son of God and our savior. They are STILL JEWS. As a matter of fact, they are more true to being Jews than those Jews who don't believe Jesus was the Son of God because the Bible (Old AND New Testaments) are written by JEWS inspired by God to do so. Jesus Himself was a Jew. All of the disciples were Jews. Jesus said that He came first of all for the Jews and secondly all of us gentiles. A good Jew would follow all of the Old Testament prophecies that point to Jesus as the Son of God. They practice exactly as Christians (for they are Christians) but many of them still recognize the Jewish holidays (which were all symbolic of Jesus).

As the others have said, they are Jews who have accepted Jesus as the messiah. They continue the tradtional worship and practices of Judaism, keeping all the feast days and holidays, but incorporate christian worship into the service.

Jews that believe Yeshua Messiah is their Adonay. They are born again Christians. Their High Priest is Yeshua.

dizynman is correct, and I would also add that according to bible doctrine, only Messianic Jews are true Israel. Any Jew who rejects Christ is an apostate and will not inherit the blessings promised for Israel.

They are Jews who have converted to Christianity. They continue to call themselves Jews but they aren't.
