No,I am a Jew,and,like I said,the two are incompatible. The only G-d is G-d.He shares His glory w/no one.When the messiah comes,it will be for all Jews.I am interested to know how you became a messianic.You cannot be both.Ask a Rabbi.A REAL one,not a Christian posing as a rabbi.P.S.I was a Christian at one time.I cannot be both,I’m sorry. Shalom.

Is being "Jewish" religious, or ethnic? It seems to me the paradox you impose rests upon your definitions.

Barbara Streisand, a Shabbat-breaker, is considered "Jewish" because of her ethnicity. However, by your definition a person born of Jewish parents, who keeps the Torah, and yet thinksYeshua is Messiah is not "Jewish"? - You have defined "Jewishness" in a way that simply excludes your undesireables - on the basis of what they think (hmm, sounds totalitarian). On the other hand, the Talmud describes how someone who was not born to Jewish parents can "become Jewish" simply by undergoing ritual conversion - and then think a certain way. So what someone thinks is what determines "Jewishness," or is it ethnicity? Is Barbara Streisand, who does not think like a Jew, really a Jew?

Pick up a copy of Shaye Cohen's (a Jew) "The Beginnings of Jewishness in the Second Temple Period." You will be shocked when you learn how pedantic your definition of "Jewishness" is when compared to the history of our people. Your definition has no historical basis other than as reactionary to Christianity. Judaism predates Christianity, it will post-date Christianity. Don't build your house on the sand of a non-existent contradiction.

I just wanted to let you know that I am not trying to degrade you in any way;it’s just that the Jewish messiah and the Christian messiah are two very different messiahs. This is why I cannot comprehend how a Jew can accept Jesus. The Jewish messiah isn’t coming to save souls,unlike Jesus.When the Jewish messiah comes he will bring all the Jews in the world together,to be brought back to Israel,and the Temple will be rebuilt.This is why,like I stated before,a Jew cannot accept Jesus.
