It is impossible to be Jewish and accept Jesus as Christians do. Does anyone really not understand this?

This notion that one better accept Jesus just in case is sad to me. Anyone who wants to impose their beliefs as universal truths are wasting everyone’s time.

hmmm... why? Note that Christianity holds that God is One, Jesus being part of a Trinity. Of course, I agree that non-Christians would not be able to accept this, but I mean it's not impossible from a strictly logical point of view to be Jewish and accept a Triune God -- still monotheistic.

however, I repeat, it is your choice to believe what you wish -- God be with you.

Depends on your definition of Jew. I know some Messianic Jews, and they practice both Christianity and the Jewish traditions.

Questions: do you think it's possible to be atheist and still Jewish? There are plenty of people around who are atheist, of Jewish descent, and are still considered Jews by many Jews.

How about a Jew who decides to convert of Buddhism? To Islam?

If someone comes who a bunch of rabbis decide to proclaim as the Messiah, and other rabbis disagree, which side stops being considered Jewish? Majority vote?

Jesus Christ and His disciples were all Jewish.

Judas though, wasn’t saved.
