We pray to Jesus. They pray to the Messiah.

It was my understanding, Jews pray to God, not the messiah. They await the messiah, and do not equate messiah to God, as Christians do.

Calling all Jews...do i have this wrong?

You may be right on that. I was keying off an early post that said Jews refer to the Mesiah and the Christians refer to Jesus. Look if people want to refer to Budah, God, Jesus, the Mesiah, it doesn't bother me in this setting. It's not up to me to demand how they reference their God.

I am not an authority on religion, but I think you are right.
