“Did not the Christians there come from Jewish converts?”
But that is of no importance as far as the Jewish belief in the Messiah is concerned. Why? Because the Messiah will be a Jewish man who is extremely learned and extremely observant. While in a genetic sense, some of those Christians could conceivably trace their ancestry to King David on their patrilineal line, they are clearly not practicing Jews and thus cannot be the Messiah.
