[QUOTE="AsherRuth, post: 1973507, member: 718205"] answer: Absolutely NOT. A Jew that becomes a Christian is an apostate Jew, no longer considered part of the Jewish community or religion. They cannot be called up to read from the Torah in synagogue. They cannot be buried in a Jewish cemetery. They cannot marry an Orthodox Jew and they cannot immigrate to Israel as a Jew. "Just as many people convert to Judaism, and thus become Jews, those Jews who convert to another faith are no longer Jews. The Biblical basis for this is I Kings 18:21. Elijah the prophet asked Jews who were beginning to slip into the worship of the idol, Baal, "How long will you go limping with two different opinions?
