[quote=Anonymous][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]

Unlike some religions, Jews don’t murder converts, so there’s that. [b]But at the end of the day it IS offensive for Christians to claim they are actually Jewish.[/b] [/quote]

And they’d - particularly the half who have Jewish background - say it’s offensive for you to tell them they’re not “actually Jewish.” You’re probably some crazy liberal who’d call someone transphobic for refusing to go along with a man’s self-identification as a woman… but Messaniac Jews bother you?[/quote]
