Just like Mormons...
This article is total baloney.
You have a limited understanding of Christianity. One can indeed be a Christ worshipping Jew. Almost all early Christians were
Michael Brown is alleged to have co-authored this. He is not listed. So that may be why the two make sense together - different people.
It does not alter the fact that the article is baloney.
Ummm, it’s an article co-authored by two people. One is an Orthodox Jew, the other is a Messianic Jew. Both are proud & happy to be Jewish.
If a person can be an atheist or agnostic Jew (and there are many) one can also be a Messianic Jew.
The article has two authors. One is an Orthodox Jew, the other a Messianic Jew. Michael Brown is a Messiaic Jew who is also Pentecostal I believe.
“This article is total baloney.”
You’re as confused as the article’s author and perhaps as bigoted as the man he writes about.
It seems to me that one can be a Jew and believe in Jesus as the Messiah and one's personal savior. All of the writers of the Brit Chadashah (New Testament) were Jewish. Most of the first Christians were Jews, and that remained the case for decades following the crucifixion of Jesus. There are several Messianic Jewish synagogues in my area.

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.
The article was authored by TWO people. One a Orthodox Jew, the other not.
The article is by two different people, one Orthodox and one messianic.
I thought the title referred to two Jews.
Just like Mormons...
I'm going to guess you aren't Christian
Christianity holds that there is only one G-d that we worship. Jesus is not a separate God. Jesus is the "emanation" or embodiment of the ineffable God in this material world. To a Christian this is summed up as "In the beginning was The Word, Jesus Christ. The Word was with God and the Word WAS/IS God" - not "a" god but God
So Jesus, the Father and the Holy Spirit are not three separate Gods but the One God.
Easily 2/3rds of the Christian world recites a creed that begins "I believe in one G-d ...". We aren't polytheists any more than you are.
Maybe the simpler explanation is that you denounced the article without even reading it, simply because the title had the words "messianic Jew" in it.
They're two different people. Feldstein is the Orthodox Jew, Michael Brown is the "messianic Jew."
