yes, they're Christians masquerading as Jews who try to convert Jews to Christianity. They are **not** Jewish by any standards that we Jews use to identify ourselves, period. I'll put in some links in a minute to help you.

This is taken from the reference section of this article:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jews_for_Jesus

1. “"We believe that Jewishness is a birthright. It is inherited from our parents. Our people are not of one culture; we have diverse cultural expressions (Ashkenazi/Sephardi, Georgian/Russian, Ethiopian, Persian, etc.). Our people are not of one religion. While Judaism might be the traditional religion for many Jewish people, Jews are still considered Jewish even though they might be atheists or even if they embrace other beliefs. Those who say that Jews who believe in Jesus are errant Jews or misguided Jews are entitled to their opinions. But they are not entitled to negate our Jewishness. We are Jews by birth and that cannot change."Jews for Jesus Q&A: Can you explain how one can be a Jew and a Christian at the same time? That seems like a contradiction in terms
2. "There is virtual unanimity across all denominations [of Judaism] that Jews for Jesus are not Jewish." (Kaplan, Dana Evan. The Cambridge Companion to American Judaism, Cambridge University Press, Aug 15, 2005, pp. 139-140).
3. "For most American Jews, it is acceptable to blend some degree of foreign spiritual elements with Judaism. The one exception is Christianity, which is perceived to be incompatible with any form of Jewishness. Jews for Jesus and other Messianic Jewish groups are thus seen as antithetical to Judaism and are completely rejected by the majority of Jews". (Kaplan, Dana Evan. The Cambridge Companion to American Judaism, Cambridge University Press, Aug 15, 2005, p. 9).
4. Jewish groups:

o "Messianic Jewish organizations, such as Jews for Jesus, often refer to their faith as fulfilled Judaism, in that they believe Jesus fulfilled the Messianic prophecies. Although Messianic Judaism claims to be Jewish, and many adherents observe Jewish holidays, most Jews regard Messianic Judaism as deceptive at best, fraudulent at worst. They charge that Messianic Judaism is actually Christianity presenting itself as Judaism." (Balmer, Randall. Encyclopedia of Evangelicalism, Baylor University Press, Nov 2004, p. 448).

in case you examine your Bible, you may examine that Christians have been nonetheless Jews and that they met interior the Synagogues interior the evenings. And the Jews that did no longer have faith Jesus became the Messiah met interior the Synagogues interior the mornings. No the place interior the Bible dose it talk of something different than Jewish. even that Jesus became a Rabbi. and that they stayed Jewish till 305/6; then 29 adult men desperate to interrupt off from all God and Jesus required people, so they could do much less; they reported because it Catholic. however the Catholic church refuses to confess the actuality of its church at present. Jesus additionally says in Matthew 5:17-20 that not one of the Commandments are to be bumped off of forgotten. There are 313 of them.

Yes, they are evil, deceptive creations because they use falsehood to deliberately trick the lonely and young Jews into converting to Xtianity. They are racist despicable people intent on the destruction of Judaism.

Example? Around Passover time my friend gave me one of their pamphlets that got shoved onto her sister on her college campus. The whole thing was disgusting, but most of all was this part: "G-d created the Jews to bless the world. (Gen 12:3)" Sounds racist, doesn't it? It is. The actual text of Genesis 12:3 goes something like this: "And those who bless you shall be blessed, and those who curse you shall be cursed." Now I couldn't find anything more disgusting of them to say--er, contort.

I know plenty about them. If you need any more info or any more examples, feel free to email me.

However most importantly, they are NOT Jews. They are Xtians. They simply claim to be Jews in order to convert other Jews.

It is not a church, but a movement among people of Jewish origin who have recognized that Jesus Christ is the Messiah. They continue to practice their Jewish traditions, but also accept Christ as Lord and Savior. They are often called "Messianic Jews".
