Depending on the source used, there appears to be between 350,000 to 1 million Messianic Jews so apparently some aren't afraid to 'come out'.
Is this a case of eating your cake and having it too or another example of Pascal's Wager?

Go post that in the Judaism forum, please, for our entertainment.

You are kidding...right?

I post that when it's revelant for the topic.

Actually most are still in fear, just like homosexuals who are behind the closet.
I mean who wouldn't follow the best man who has ever walked on earth?!

She did. And when I pointed out how Judaism feels about the topic (in the Judaism forum, mind you), she accused me of proselytizing. Just another garden variety evangelist who makes Christianity look even worse to Jews.

Sorry.

Well, if it helps, we Episcopalians don't wanna convert you! We're afraid God might get mad at us for trying to lead you away from what He told you to do.

I've yet to meet a proselytizing Jew! LOL.

And I don't know where that person gets the idea that most Jews secretly want to convert. As a matter of fact, one of the most hilarious sentences I've ever read on City-Data was TheFlipFlop's "One look at me and you would know that I think of Yushke as just another dead Yid." I truly believe "Yushke" had a hearty laugh over that, too!

God is mad at Jews for not accepting Christ as the lord and savior, so don't think God will be mad at you for spreading the good news and telling the truth

Jews are not allowed to proselytize. Even if they were, what's so attractive belonging to Judaism when they don't believe in Jesus (God)?! I wouldn't want to belong to a religion that looks down on other faiths, curse Christians on a daily basis and where a God demands people to be killed for various things.

I was Jewish myself decades ago so I know. FlipFlop is misguided and I truly feel bad for him/her.

The Talmud has some bigoted views & stuff in it and bashes Christianity in many aspects. Also Jews are said to have killed Jesus.....

It just goes to show that religion is behind so much of world issues, but more importantly how it is used and/or interpreted!

Now I see why you bash Israel so much in the POC forum. Makes a lot more sense now.
