How it is possible for Jews to believe in Jesus and remain Jewish and other hot chestnuts ... ?
This is a page for Jewish people, specifically for people who say that you can't be Jewish and believe in Jesus, or who say the same thing but in different ways. On this page we're going to try to answer your questions clearly and, we hope, sensitively. We are not your enemy, we just sincerely believe in what we believe. Just as you do. So please have a look at our brief articles and, if they don't answer your questions, you're free to ask your own questions, anonymously if you like.

What does it mean to be Jewish?
Is Jewish a cultural identity, a religion or ethnic group? If it's cultural or religious than anyone can be Jewish who shares in the ideologies but if it's ethnicity not so.
Are Jewish people a part of Israel or are they Israel _ I believe that this comes up in the 2-house theory of Israel.
As a 'Gentile'follower of the Messiah and one who is trying to understand, learn and teah Hebrew roots to other Christians inc. Sabbath-keeping I find the Gentile & Jews distinction upsetting.
I think it's hard enough for Christians trying to walk in the'ancient ways' without our more mature brothers and sisters providing a further obstacle of 'Jewishness' to overcome.
The scriptures tell me in Isaiah 56 that the Lord binds me to His people and sees no distinction b/w Jew and Gentile.
Sorry to rant on but living in the UK I am yet to find a church/congregation that doesn't make me feel different because of my beliefs.
Being Jewish
My mother's family were Greek but of the Jewish faith. My dad's folks were old school Methodist of Weslyan thought. I guess I am a Half Yahude and half Messianic. You can be both, I hope. John
