Are there many Jewish people believe Jesus is the son of God?

Answer 1

"Jews" for Jesus are not Jews!
Messianic "Jews," are not Jews!
Messianic "Judaism" is not Judaism!

Many people, Christians and some Jews as well, erroneously believe that just as one can be Black and Christian, just as one can be Oriental and Christian, one can also be Jewish and Christian. It is not true. The Jews are not a race. There is no genetic code passed from either mother or father to the child that makes that child a Jew. Even if all, or some, of the genetic code in a child could be proved to be of Jewish Origin, that would not make the child a Jew. Jewish law determines who is a Jew, and Jewish law is quite clear. If a person's mother is a Jew, and that person has not converted to another faith, then that person will be considered fully Jewish, so long as that person wishes to identify solely as a Jew. Although one cannot convert to become a member of a race, one who converts to Judaism does, indeed, become fully a Jew. Similarly, if one converts from Judaism to another faith, one is no longer a Jew.

Messianic "Judaism" is a product of the successful missionizing campaign of such ministries as the "Jews" for Jesus, who try to make it look as though one can be a Jew and a Christian at the same time. By definition, one who believes in Jesus as their savior is a Christian. One who accepts Jesus as anything other than a man who once lived, but died without doing anything the Real Messiah will do when he gets here (hence the reason for a Second Coming!), is a Christian and no longer a Jew.

The Orthodox Rabbi Aryeh Kaplan, writing for the Union of Orthodox Jewish Congregations of America, for the National Conference of Synagogue Youth, the Orthodox Youth Group, in his book The Real Messiah, on page 21 wrote:

"""This brings us back to our original question:
What can a Jew lose by embracing Christianity?

The answer is: Everything.

Christianity negates the fundamentals of Jewish
faith, and one who accepts it rejects the very
essence of Judaism. Even if he continues to keep
all of the rituals, it is the same as if he
abandoned Judaism completely.

A Jew who accepts Christianity might call himself
a "Messianic 'Jew,'" but he is no longer a Jew.
He can no longer even be counted as part of a
Jewish Congregation."""

We Jews define for ourselves who is and who is not a Jew, and not the Jewish wannabees, and the targets of this newest technique in missionizing Jews.

The majority of the membership of Messianic ""Jewish"" congregations, as a matter of fact, were not ever Jewish up until recently, and this is also true about their Messianic ""rabbis."" Many of these "rabbis" change their names to something that sounds stereotypically Jewish, in order to better target those they want to convert to Christianity.

As the success of this newest technique in missionizing the less knowledgeable Jews increased, the percentage of membership of ex-Jews as members of their messianic congregations has also increased, now running about 50-50.

It is also interesting to note that a large number of people converting TO Judaism have come to real Judaism from having been exposed to Messianic ""Judaism.""

At a messianic congregation, all references to Christian theology has been changed to make it sound more Jewish, and therefore more pallatable to their targets. They will only refer to Jesus as 'Yeshua' (which would not have been his name), they will say 'moshiach' instead of 'christ,' they will say 'synagogue' instead of 'church,' and on and on, in keeping with the techniques described in the book Understanding Church Growth by Donald MacGavran, who helped the idea of Indiginous Cultural Evangelism get started.

The services will sound very Jewish, usually a lot of (mispronounced) Hebrew, and prayers will have been changed to add the Christian theology of Jesus to them, again, to make the service more familiar to their targets.

Remember that these messianic congregations need member$hip, and so they also target those Christians who want to know more about the ""Jewish roots"" of Christianity as well.

When a Catholic converts to a Protestant denomination of Christianity, do they join a church and call themselves "Roman Catholics For No Pope"? This whole idea, that one can remain a Jew after converting to Christianity, was a technique to better missionize Jews, begun in the 1960's. What an insult to Christianity, that to get Jews to convert to Christianity, they had to stop calling themselves what they became:: Christians!

Answer 2

These so called "Jews for Jesus" is a despicable Christian organization that preys on the Jewish elderly and the down and out. Only about 25% of these people have any Jewish identity at all-maybe a Jewish grandparent, or they might know a Jewish person. For some sick reason they feel compelled to convert real Jews to Christianity.
Anyway, if you believe in Jesus, you are a Christian-no ifs ands or buts.

Answer 3

There is an organization called "Jews for Jesus." Many are of Jewish heritage and definently believe that Jesus is the Messiah and Son of God. I also think they believe in evangelizing to everyone, but first and foremost to God's chosen people. Anyways, you can find more detailed and accurate descriptions about them and their organization at the following websites...

Answer 4

ok, i am going to say this. Jesus is the Messiah...for Christians. Jesus has no relevance through any skill to Judaism in the intervening time he's the centerfold of the Christian faith. through how, Jews do now not call their e book the "previous testomony". Their TORAH is in a diverse order, and easily so that they have got were given a talmud and various writings. yet no "New testomony" or perhaps an "previous" testomony. Christians can stick with Jesus all they prefer, he's what Christianity is (obviously) depending off of. of direction out of your attitude all persons now not Christian is taken into consideration an "unbeliever" and "ignorant". yet attempt somebody else's for a 2d. Christians can declare Jesus all they prefer, yet they have not were given any astonishing to declare Judaism. allow Jews trust as they choose and also you bypass on which includes your very own beliefs. *research wide type 3 of Cathi's answer. it really is strictly how Christians could workout habitual persons's faiths. end with the vanity already.

Answer 5

A == Anyone who believes in jesus as the messiah is a christian by definition. (and no longer of the jewish faith.)
B == the MAJORITY of "jews for jesus" are, in actuality, not even jewish by any stretch of the imagination.

Answer 6

No dear, these people are called "Christians".
There are no Jewish people who believe in Jesus, despite what the messianic Jews claim they are.

Answer 7

Jesus said we are all the children of God. I'm stumped why so many Christians need to attribute something supernatural to the origins of their faith. I also don't believe it is necessary or even possible to believe everything in the Bible literally in order to be Christian.

Answer 8

The Jewish faith teaches that the Messiah is coming, and that he will be a human being, and not G-d. Judaism rejects Christianity because worship of a human being is idolatry.

Answer 9

Jews dont believe in Jesus

Answer 10

Statistically speaking, there is at the very least ONE person of the Jewish faith in the world who does.
