"Using the hebrew scriputers" is codeword for misquoting and quoting out of context. Rabbi Tuvia Singer, a leading andti-misionary, got his hands on one of their guidebooks for field missionaries. It is full of advice on what scriptures not to remind subjects of due to the fact they contradict what they r saying, and which sentaces seem like proof on their own, but lose that if the context is given.

Ok, let me rephrase that - not non-existent bible verses: they quote from the christian bible, which has "evolved" from the original meaning, and claim to be quoting from the torah. Look a t this link.
and by destroying lives: they tell ppl to leave their families when the families try to pull them back towards judaism. they rip apart couples, ect.

Actually, the word u translate as saved actually comes out to be "liberated." I hope and pray for mashiach but what proof is there that he was jesus, who died long ago. I don't think you understand the jewish beleif of what the mashiach will be...

I always find it amazing how Christians go out of their way to target Jews.
you never see any groups that specifically go after Muslims or Buddhists but they spend so much effort on the 14 million Jews in the world.

Ok. First of all, lets me and you understand the same thing. Your a loudmouth punk kid, with zero knowledge of God's very own Word. Agree? Kewl.
I think they're great people and they are Jews who have turned to the lord Jesus Christ as a personal Savior and, of course, in the Old Testament, He is called Messiah, so they have the label of Messianic because they are looking for the coming of Messiah in the very near future. And that's what I’ve been talking about. This ridiculous thing called replacement theology where God is through with the Jews forever. That's not so.
The bible teaches in Romans chapters 9 to 11 the Jews past, chapter 9, the Jews present, chapter 10, and the Jews future, chapter 11. And when messiah comes, chapter 11, verse 26 says: “all Israel shall be saved, for there shall come out of Zion, out of Jerusalem a deliverer who shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob”.
Who is Jacob? Jacob changed his name to Israel, 2 Kings 17:34. And when Messiah comes, He opens their blinded eyes and all Judaism, all Israel comes to Jesus Christ. I'm for the messianic Jews.

That has not been my experience. The Messianic Jews that I know are very godly people, who have a love for their fellow Jews, and want to share it with them. I don't see how using the Hebrew Scriptures is "using trickery and deceit."
Y'shua is the Jewish Messiah. Jews who come to faith in Him, do not lose their Jewishness. Instead, they feel as though they are complete!
As far as sharing non-existent Bible verses, you'd have to tell me what you're talking about, since the ones I know use the same ones I do.

First, early Christianity was a branch of Judaism. The branch that broke away when Christians no longer kept the 634 commandments, given by God to his chosen people, the Jews.
Second, Christians are instructed to explain their beliefs to all nations.
Now your question regarding "Jews for Jesus". Jews for Jesus is a Christian denomination that ministers to the Jews as a whole. It is not a branch of Judaism. Are its member Jews? Yes, if they have Jewish mother's or have converted.
It is difficult to explain to a religion that does not seek new members one that does. Jews for Jesus believe that need to provide salvation by any means possible: trickery, deceit, etc. Is that moral? Moral by whose standards?
When one converts, they destroy those that remain behind. But it is not the organization but the convert who destroys those that remain behind.

no, Jesus was born a Jew but his teachings and way of life was not Jewish. In fact the word "christian" was used for the gentile followers of Christ at Antioch to describe their way of life that portrays the teachings of Jesus. I support Jesus because of his teachings not because He is Jewish.

So do you have a question or a statement?
Because as far as, "do I support Jews for Jesus" that would be "Yes" I support anyone who choses to live their life to Him.

Yes, we are to love every1 even our enemies... i always keep a hope in my heart that the Jews will see Christ returning with The angels of God and they will say , " Yes, He truly is God's son, not a prophet but the Son Of GOD!! who came to save us from our sins " ... Jesus said we are to love everyone... even our enemies...even when they tell lies of us or want to hurt us.
