Messianics say Jesus is the Jewish Messiah. Interesting how this VERY new movement seems to know more than ALL of our sages put together. If their Jesus was messiah then why didn't the Rambam, Arizal, Ramban, or any other of the thousands of geniuses who have graced our history tell us so? Does Mr. Ben-Yehuda know more than they? If I was asked about who my favorite 16th-century Rabbinic writer was I could choose from hundreds; where are the great messianic writers? There are none. Plain and simple. The Jewish sect that thought of Jesus as a prophet is long gone - centuries ago. What of the Jews that thought of him as moshiach? They were few and never formed a cohesive community. Christianity became the gentile religion is was destined to be and (gratefully) took with it its pagan trinity. Botom line: there is NO continuous Jewish/Christian faith that has endured throughout the ages. All our greatest minds KNEW how far removed from Judaism the belief in Jesus was. Did God speak of a second part to the Torah called the New testament as if Torah was some sort of Harry Potter book that required a sequel? Want reasons Jesus wasn't moshiach?

Furthermore, it is my sincere belief that in many ways, messianics are worse than their openly antisemitic counterparts. One can at least distinguish a skinhead from the way he dresses and his hateful tattoos but a messianic dresses, speaks, and at first even seems to behave as a Jew. They target Jews and ONLY Jews. They want to achieve what others could not: take away who we are. They will not rest until every last one of us is like them. Wake up! There is nothing wrong with us! We carry a beautiful knowledge that has been passed down (at great cost) through an unbroken line. Our sages wrote so much on why those who follow this gentile messiah are no longer Jewish. That doesn't seem to matter to them. They will continue to proclaim their love of a Jewish state while carrying within them the seeds for its demise. They are utterly incapable of understanding that Judaism and Christianity are completely different on fundamental levels. Let the messianics join Ann Coulter in her quest to "make us completed Jews". I for one will do as my ancestors did: resist and stay true to our faith.
