Probabyly not devoutly. I mean you could go to both services, but Jews do not believe Jesus was the Messiah, while Christians do. They believe He is the only way to Heaven. It depends on which you believe!

Yes and No!
As a Christian, I have to have respect for Judisim, They go hand in hand, to a point.
Practice each ... ? Not wise! Accept that they are similar and related ...? Yes!
One must decide for themselves what one believes!
I believe that God exists, Jesus exists and Satin exists ... Thus, I believe in Christianity! To eliminate any one of the three changes things!

Sure, religion will allow pretty much anything, if you find the right people to do it with you.
Seriously, though, not likely. You would have to stick to the most general parts of the two religions, like worshipping God and being good and following commandments and all of that. Beyond that, you'll run into problems.

Messianic Judaism..I have been raised Christian, but have realized that our roots are really in Judaism and that Christ is the fulfillment of all of the promises and prophesies of the Old Testament. The Jewish holidays actually point to Christ. There are many people out there that seem to be realizing this at this point. Check out this site:

The two religions contradict each other. Jews are still waiting for Christ to return the second time, while Christians believe He has already come. I don't see how you can be both, but I would talk to your preacher, and he can give you advise.

I do, in a way.
I am no longer compromising on the "christian traditions " that are nothing more than traditions of man derived from pagan practices. I embrace the feasts and perfect instruction of God that were given to His children (often mistakenly referred to as Jewish feasts and laws) I belive that the feasts of god give a perfect picture of who Jesus is and what His purpose is and I believe that by observing them, we are celebrating Jesus!
It is commonly known as Messianic Christianity

Tex, in reality Christianity is Judaism fulfilled. Their promised Messiah came to save them from their sins. They rejected Him, but He becomes the Savior of all who will believe on Him . . .
John 1:10-13
"He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him. He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God---children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband's will, but born of God."

Not actually! But there's a thing called 'Messianic Jews', but to me they're just Christians with a euphamism!

Well, since Jews don't believe that Jesus is the messiah, it might be difficult. You can practice some of the traditions of each.
