If Jesus -- a committed Jew -- came back to earth, do you think he would pray in an Orthodox, Conservative or Reform synagogue?

One thing for sure, he wouldn't go to a Christian Church, since he was not a Christian. I think he would pray at at Orthodox synagogue, since he followed Jewish laws, was born a Jew, lived as a Jew and died as a Jew. The Christian religion -- which, as the article that you posted states, is NOT Judaism -- did not originate until decades after his death.

I'm not sure I follow you? what do you mean a Christian Church? anybody can be a Christian by professing Lord Jesus Christ as your personal saviour and reedemer?

I don't think Jesus would be praying in any house of worship that had a bunch of hypocrites in it. Jesus would proably be praying in Sudan right now if he were on earth...

Boy are you confused. JESUS came to bring Christianity, since he is the Messiah, The Christ. It was Jesus who said "I am the way, the truth and the life and NO MAN comes to the Father but by me". You may not want it to be that way, but that is the way it is. It was the JEWS, Pharisees and Saduccees..who crucified my Lord.
The Bible predicts there will be Jews converted in last days in large number. Paul and Peter were imprisoned for teaching "The Way", the first name of the Christian Faith.

Most "Christians" would be shocked to know that of all the Jewish sects of the First Century, early followers of Y'shua ["Jesus"] had a theology most closely aligned with the Pharisees. Acts 21 records that "myriads" of Jews living in Jerusalem were following Y'shua and were ZEALOUS FOR THE TORAH. The closest thing to the "religion" of the followers of Y'shua is Judaism - because the "Christian" religion abandoned it's Hebrew roots in the Second Century and officially became a NEW religion. Not good.

You are way off. It is not a question of if, but a question of when. And WHEN it happens, He will not be praying to anybody - people will be praying to HIM. But unfortunately by then it will be too late.
