"YEs, but it is very deceptive to try and trick Jews into conversion instead of an honest presentation and plea for their salvation. "Jews for Jesus" is no different from Scientology in its approach."

How is it trickery? Jews have an ethnic history and a traditional history that comes by right of birth. It is not fair to say that a Jew that converts to Christianity is no longer a Jew. In fact if you define Jews by the traditional Jewish religion, many Jews are not Jews at all, because many of them are atheist. They have completely lost their faith in God.

They don't understand why God has allowed 2000 years of exile or things like the holocaust to occur. So they assume that He doesn't exist, instead of realizing that they failed to listen to the ancient Jewish prophets when they told them about Jesus. And that failure put them in serious breach of their covenant with God and in serious breach of the commands given by Moses.

Okay dude, the Holocaust happened because Jews failed to listen to prophets talking about Jesus. You are laughable.

Ahh, yes, the embodiment of the Nuremburg laws.

Kind of flys in the face of evangelism doesn’t it?

Shouldn’t potential Jewish converts be warned that, while they may accept Jesus as the messiah, when it’s convenient, they’re Jews.
