[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Messianic Jews and Jews for Jesus only minister to Jews,[b] and they are run by former jews[/b], so in a way that is a form of 'new' judaism. 
They are not protestant or catholic. Christians who are not jewish are pressured to practice a form of Judaism if they were to join them.

I am OK with some aspects of 'ancient' judaism being mentioned in church, to understand the times that the bible was written and get a better picture of the context. Other than that I do not see what the fascination is.

I do not understand why some jews would find this a sensitive subject. Judaism is based on your mother being jewish. [/quote]

The key being "former" Jews. They are not Jews and they don't minister to Jews, I assure you. Most Jews flee in the other direction. My mother wouldn't even drive near the Messianic synagogue. They do not practice a form of Judaism. They practice a form of archaic Christianity. Or something. I don't know what it is, exactly, but I know what it is not: Judaism.

As for your statement that Judaism is "based on your mother being Jewish," that is merely the religious definition of who qualifies as a Jew (matrilineal descent). It says nothing about the religion itself, its core tenets, its beliefs. [/quote]
