BOGUS!! You cannot be an Orthodox Jew AND a "messianic jew".

True, 98% of Orthodox Jews are anti-Christian.

The term Messianic Jew (you forgot to capitalize - some bias there perhaps) is self explanatory.

Orthodox Jews accept the Torah and its commentaries as their only religious input.

False. Like all religions, Judaism has become corrupted. In its case, supplemented by oral teachings. If only Orthodox Jews omitted the leaven and did follow the Torah to the letter.

Messyonics believe that you can be a Jew AND believe in J.C. Actual Jews (not Messyonics, who are cult members) recite prayers every single day declaring that there is only one G-d that they worship. The Christian religions have G-d and J.C.

Yeshua is the son of God. Some Christian religions (maybe most) attempt to make them one in the same to get around the above. A literal reading of the scriptures lays is out perfectly.

This article is total baloney.

No, it's not "total" baloney. As someone who once supported Wiles, I do denounce Wiles for reducing Jewish/Christian religious differences to emotional, sometimes outrageous, soundbites. Wile's knowledge of the Bible is superficial. After I realized this, I pretty much stopped listening to him.

If Wiles said this, then Wiles is failing to follow Christ's first command to love one another.

Protestant Christians need more pastors who align their message in the style of Billy Graham and not Rick Wiles. And Catholics, what's with Pope Francis?

Not directed at you, but It surprises me how little real knowledge of scripture many of today's Jews have - just my observation - and I can say the same about many of today's Christians.

Jews have no reason to read Christian scripture, as they have no reason to read Hindu, Buddhist, Muzzie, Zoroastrian, or any scripture other than the Torah. The Torah is essential to Judaism and without it, there is no Judaism. Thus, Jews reading up and taking care to follow the precepts of their own religion, and leaving the reading up on other religions' texts to adherents of those religions is normal and desirable. To follow the highly complicated precepts of authentic Judaism is a lifelong study, without diverting time for reading up on things which do not concern you.

“True, 98% of Orthodox Jews are anti-Christian.”

Utter nonsense, unless you mean Orthodoc Jewish people have theological differences.

Maimondes, quite correctly, taught that the religion was perfectly acceptable Noahdic religion for non-Jewish people, and, indeed, quite good, in that it accepts, as truth, the entirety of the Tanakh.

Now, yes, the Satmar and NKs often teach hate, but, candidly, they hate everyone, including other Orthodox Jewish people. They particularly despise me, as an Orthodox believer in Zionism.
