Your point about posting this is what, exactly?

[Saundra Duffy]

Jesus Himself was a Jew but today's Jews can't be for Jesus because Jesus Himself was just a Jew.

I was hoping it'd bring up interesting conversations about the Messianic Jew movement. My mother and father have friends within the movement and if there are members here, I would enjoy hearing their opinion. Is there a problem?

Your research link doesn't work.

What's your point with this article? Were you going to share your opinion or leave it for everybody else to chime in?

I haven't asked any of my Jewish friends to come over and they have respected my privacy as well. This seems more like a rant to draw attention to oneself.

[Freetus]

So are you a better Jew, a fulfilled Jew by accepting Jesus? No. By accepting a Christian god you commit a cardinal sin. You become a traitor to your people and cannot be counted a Jew.

And so the hatred continues. I urge all Jews of good conscience to reject this and to become traitors to their people, if that is what it takes - better a traitor to your "people" than a traitor to God. Hate-filled religions are really starting to get tiresome, aren't they?

I didn't see your reply right away before I posted my question. My apologies.

I know many in the Messianic movement and have been a dedicated supporter of Jews 4 Jesus since 1977. What the article does not offer are the many OT scripture pointing to Jesus Christ as Messiah...and the NT scripture fulfilling said scripture.

Certainly an interesting religious topic. However, you'll probably find it, soon, moved to the Religion Forum.

I'm an adopted Jew and I'm for Jesus. Amen and Hallelujah!

Rom 2:28 For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:
Rom 2:29 But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.

Just to hurry along the move. :)

My guess is trying to drive a wedge between right-wing Christians who, for the most part support Isreal, and Jews.

[anniegetyourgun]

Interesting perspective. Of course, no one can be more Jewish than the Jew who knows Messiah.

[KQQL]

Christians say that Jesus was a Prophet who came to change the way it used to be.

WOW this is new to me..............hmmmmm. Last time I checked for Christians Jesus is the son of G-d not a prophet///////

I would enjoy hearing their opinion. Is there a problem?

No problem.

Jesus claimed to be God incarnate. There are those who can't belive this -- Jews, Moslems -- because of their interpretation of scripture as noted in article.

I happen to believe in His divinity. I think God really walked the earth in barefeet. Judge the vine by the fruit it bears. When Christianity dominates a culture the fear, darkness and very real cruelty of paganism resides. When Christianity is surpressed in a culture, the fear, darkness and cruelty return.

This Rabbi can believe whatever he wants. When the Messiah comes, he can welcome Him for the very first time. I on the other hand will welcome His return.

Thanks. Here is something I use ...

Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.

Genesis 1:26 - NIV

There are several other places thoughout the OT where God refers to himself in the plural.
