    What is a Messianic Jew? Is that someone who belongs to Jews for Jesus? If you converted, would you believe that Jesus was the messiah? The basic problem here is that Jews do not believe that Jesus was the messiah. They believe that the messiah has not come yet. I can’t speak for everyone, only myself, but I believe that in the eyes of most Jews, if you converted to being a Jew for Jesus, you would essentially be a Christian. Would you be accepted? I don’t know. I am not a traditional Jew, but I know that traditional Jews would have a real problem with it. A lot of Jews have been killed in the name of Jesus. I know that the murder is actually an abuse of the Christian religion, not a tenet of it, but the history is there all the same. The interesting thing is that when Christianity started, Judaism was actually more popular. There were a lot of other religions too. It wasn’t until a Roman emperor converted, and forced his subjects to do so, that Christianity really took hold.
