Kind of a stumbling block, ain't it?[/b]

Not for me. 😉

While the afterlife offers some incredible advantages, until then, better slow than dead.

Messianic Judaism seems to be something of a (small) mixed bag, sometimes representing little more than the result of Christian evangelizing to Jews—especially the “Jews for Jesus” group, founded by a Baptist minister—and to include as many gentiles as (ethnic) Jews. Some appear to be more "orthodox" Christian than others (e.g., on the question of the trini ...[text shortened]... ://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Messianic_Judaism

No insults: it's an interesting phenomenon.

wow, I didnt know that Moishe Rosen was a baptist minister, actually I dont think he ever was a baptist minister. You might want to get your facts straight on that one. as far as I know, Moishe Rosen founded Jews for Jesus. Can anyone substantiate that or what?

From the Wikipedia article I cited in my above post:

“Perhaps the best known of the Messianic groups, although certainly not the largest, is the controversial Jews for Jesus organization, officially founded by the Baptist minister Martin Rosen, who prefers to be called "Moishe" Rosen, in 1973.”

Whether or not that is accurate, I don’t know. Does it make them somehow a bogus organization? I don’t know why it should. It does indicate—if accurate—that at least that Messianic group did not originate out of a strictly Jewish milieu.

Again, I don’t have any judgments or criticisms of Messianic Judaism per se. I actually looked them up because of your post.
