I'm agnostic, but it seems to me the most LOGIC following of jesus christ are jewish people. Jesus was a jew... therefore SURELY you'd want to follow the same religion as your saviour??
Christianity just doesn't make sense!

No - 'Jews for Jesus' doesn't make sense.
Christianity is just mythology - propagated by people who would probably crucify Jesus if he were to come back today as a man again.

Some Jews DO believe Jesus is the Messiah -- they prefer to be called Messianic Jews.
Gentiles don't have to be Jews to follow Jesus; both Jews and Gentiles follow the laws of Messiah. Under the New Covenant brought by Jesus, there is neither Jew nor Gentile, male nor female -- in other words, God sees us all the same now.

Read Hebrews 5 - 10 in combination with Leviticus 16. You will see the connection between Atonement for sins. In Lev. 16 the Jews had to remove there sins annually, but in Hebrews it shows that Jesus did this for the whole world once and for all. This shows that the Jewish religion (laws) was just a base to prepare the world for Christ. Awesome stuff in there.

That would just depend if one believes that Christ is the Savior or not. The Old Testament is the Covenant between God (before Jesus),and Israel. The NT is the Covenant between Jesus (Jewish, yes), and His people. But the NT really is about the a Savior coming into the world.
You can be Jewish and still believe in Christ.

The Jewish Messiah was supposed to lead them out of bondage, and the century after Jesus was extremely cruel for the Jews with the Titus massacres and the destruction of the Temple. If he had such great power, why leave them suffer in such a cruel fate, and the early Christian movement also suffered greatly. One has the right to expect more from a true all-powerful Messiah.

Just one small point, in response to another responder: sorry, there are **no** Jews who believe in Jesus as the messiah. "Jews for Jesus" are the only ones who consider themselves Jewish--certainly other Jews do not. You cannot believe in Jesus as the messiah and be Jewish. Calling yourself a Martian doesn't mean that you actually came from there.

Jews do not recognize Jesus as anything and most certainly not the Messiah.

Well, jeebus also said he was the messiah, but did nothing the jewish messiah was supposed to do. How did the authors get around this? "Oh, he's coming back a Second time to get those messiah things done. In the meantime, if you don't believe, you'll go to hell."
