Nope, they are Messianic Jews, that is...believing that Jesus Christ is the Messiah...but they are still Jewish by blood. Therefore, Jews for Jesus!
BTW, Christmas is the celebration of Christ's birth...and Resurrection Day is for His resurrection.
Winter Solstice and Easter are Pagan celebrations.

Christmas isn't a pagan trip and Jesus probable LOVES you for celebrating it. it is no longer clean from scripture while Christ became into born. The shepherds who observed the angels asserting his start might have spent ALL their day out with their flocks, wintry climate and summer time alike. Christmas did no longer evolve from the Roman Saturnalia. Saturnalia ran from seventeenth Dec to twenty third Dec. Early Christians did no longer provide presents, or get below the impact of alcohol or this manner of element - those have been all lots later customs. The Angel advised the shepherd that they have been bringing tidings of large excitement. The shepherds back to their fields REJOICING. we don't have fun Christ's birthday, besides the undeniable fact that the church, in the process the 365 days, celebrates each and every of the substantial activities in Christ's existence in the international - the Annunciation (His theory), His start, the presentation interior the temple, His baptism, the Transfiguration, His miracles, The final supper, His crucifixion, His Resurrection, His Ascension into heaven and the descent of the Holy Spirit on the disciples. Why might we'd desire to omit one out basically on account which you could no longer get your information at once?

Isn't like the only real difference between Judaism and Christianity is that Christians believe Jesus is their savior? Wouldn't that, by definition, make Jews for Jesus christians?

Peter, John the Beloved, Paul... All Jews. They continued to be Jews though they excepted Jesus as the Christ. Jews for Jesus are Christians that happen to be Jews. Jim

Dear Hope,
I've met some folks from Jews for Jesus. They are Jewish people who have come to realize that Jesus is the Messiah - savior, that was prophesied about in their bible. The Old Testament. Some call them "completed Jews" or Messianic Jews.
You can ask them directly yourself at:
JewsforJesus.org
Hope this helps.

I don't think they celebrate Christ-mass. It's more of a Hannukah with Jesus as the Light. And they celebrate Passover/Easter, Yom Kippur, etc., too - but all in the light of what they believe about Yeshua ha Messiach.
That is what make them a special group.
I love them!
Shalom!

the holiday has nothing to do with it.
It's the beliefs and ones own heart posture behind what they do that makes one Christian or not.
I could not celebrate Christman or Easter and still be Christian.

Absolutely, they are *just* Christians. No one who believes in the trinity is a Jew.

Jewish is both a nationality and a religion so they are Christian Jews.
