For sure they are all xperts..........lol

Or better yet I've heard it said they are all really just Jews because Jesus was a Jew and all of his followers were Jews so they are just another denomination of Judaism....... Oy Vey

this post makes a valid (and bizarre) point

I recently found out that the groups who call themselves "messianic Jews" are sponsored by Fundamentalist Christian groups. I can't help but wonder why? Is it trying to increase membership numbers? It just seems dishonest, because they are unanimously rejected by every stream of Judaism. Christians and Jews alike are unanimous in seeing these "messianic Jews" as Christians.

They are Christians who see they are connected to Judaism and they want to "celebrate" the Jewish Jesus. So they celebrate the Jewish holidays and Christian holidays. I'm not sure what they consider themselves? Jewish but believers or Christians who have Jewish roots.....

Its a bit confusing to me...
