Jews for Jesus IS Jewish — they believe that the Jewish Messiah has already come, His name is Yeshua (Jesus). Many Jews at the time of Jesus believed in Yeshua as Messiah, the establishment did not. Nevertheless, the believing Jews were still Jewish, just like they are now.
Not to derail the thread, but they are not.
Personally, I have no issues with JFJ (or Christians, in general), but to call them ‘Jewish’ is completely wrong.
Many of these people were born Jews who weren’t raised in faith. They had no knowledge of their birthright so they picked up on the Christian way.
And that’s fine. I believe that G-d works through Christians a LOT. I pray with Christians. I’ve happily accepted prayers from Christians and prayed for Christians. I’m furious that so many Christians are being slaughtered in the Middle East and have frequently called for more powerful people to step in and help them with an exodus.
But the fact is that JFJ are now Christian - not Jewish. They have left their birthright and joined another people.
Cool. Great. More power to them.
