[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"Messianic Judaism is often presented as an ethnic church for Jews–somewhat like a Korean or Chinese church, but with outreach specific to Jews. However,  most experts estimate that in most Messianic Jewish congregations only about half the members were born Jews."

Half is a lot. Jews are understandably touchy about conversion pressures, but the criticism of messianic Jews is just mean. They are a tiny group - who cares if you think it’s kooky. They’re not coming for you en masse. And if a Jew wants to join them, or outright convert to Christianity, that’s their choice.[/quote]

Of course it's their choice if people want to join them. But I don't see why they should be exempt from criticism just because there's a small number of them. If they didn't proclaim that they really are Jews, and in fact better Jews than the rest of us, maybe we'd be happier ignoring them. Though I will say that — with the exception of this thread and others like it — most Jews do basically ignore them. I still don't believe anyone is going around suing or harassing Messianic Jews over anything.[/quote]
