"One of the main tennants of Judism is that the messiah has not come, and we're still waiting for that event. When one acknowledges that Jesus is the messiah, then that person has abandoned his faith for another."

But what if Jesus Is Messiah? Would Jews then cease to be Jews if they then believed?

If the Messiah had come, I think He would have finished his job the first time around!

I'm no theologin, but in a word, at this time, since Jews believe that he is NOT the messiah, then no, they would no longer be Jews. Again, could a Christian be a Christian if he or she abandons a main tenant of faith?

I realize that this is a tough thing to get used to. With religion, you know you're right. You have to be, it's something that's taken on faith.
