There are several groups/cults of Christians that attempt to replace and eliminate the world's Jewish people and the religion of Judaism by claiming that *they* are the "real" Israel or "real" covenant people by hijacking identity such as the Black Hebrew Israelites, the British Israelites and the White Supremacist Christian Identity, but strangely, the "Messianic" evangelicals who insist they are Jews (despite violating the most core key tenets of the affirmation of faith in Judaism and Torah) appear to be more socially acceptable by many in their attempts to demonize Jews who declare to he world in all honesty that Christianity .,.the doctrine of the New Testament isn't Judaism.
Jews have recognized for a long time the antisemitic insults and the method of evangelizing of the Hebrew Christian's who claim to love Jews and Israel.
Canadian B'nai Brith,
"One of the more alarming trends in antisemitic activity in Canada in 1998 was the growing number of incidents involving messianic organizations posing as "synagogues". These missionizing organizations are in fact evangelical Christian proselytizing groups, whose purpose is specifically to target members of the Jewish community for conversion. They fraudulently represent themselves as Jews, and these so-called synagogues are elaborately disguised Christian churches."
another quote from an article I'll link below:
"Some "Torah-observant Israelite" groups are not nearly as benign. On its website, the Messianic Evangelical New Covenant Church of G-d (NCCG) has a section entitled "Talmudic Judaism: The Dark Truth," in which readers are promised that if "you are a genuine believer in the Lord Yeshua and you obey the Torah, you are marked by heaven as belonging to one of the Twelve Tribes, whether by descent or by adoption. If you are a Torah-observant Christian, you are Israel—and there is no other Israel."
This "Torah-observant site" leaves little doubt as to the ghastly fate that awaits the unconverted Jews, whom the site calls "Talmudic Jews," currently living in Eretz Yisrael. They "will be displaced by HaShem if they have not repented and received the true Messiah, whom they have reviled, persecuted, and killed."
"If they receive Him, they will be forgiven. If they do not, they will be cast out of the land which they are illegally occupying, along with all the other heathens who name other gods," the NCCG website promises its devotees."
Jews here in Yahoo Answers have even been told by a couple of the more prolific and vocal "Messianics" that Jews who "rejected" Jesus deserved the Holocaust. Thankfully GOOD Christians joined Jews in condemning that.
I am sure that many of my contacts will remember this notorious post:
"Since unbelieving Jews have refused to accept the New Covenant (Jer. 31:31-36) brought by Jesus (Matt. 26:26-28), they are condemned by God (Deut. 28) and are no longer considered "chosen." (In fact, Deut. 28:62-63 explains why God permitted the Holocaust: because the Jewish people have disobeyed Him by refusing their Messiah.)
Daily Jews are personally insulted and called names outright when we state Jewish law and explain Judaism by people CLAIMING to be Jews..and these names are almost invariably attached to claims that it is Jews who are attacking them for their belief in Jesus! Email me and I'll send you links to many questions here where you can see this for yourself..judge for yourself what's going on. Don't take my word alone. If I post them here, massive mulltiple accounts will report it to hide it.
A Jewish Herald-Voice I received in the mail had a headline article about how “Messianics pervert Passover at some Houston-area churches” with a subtitle, “Deceptive tactics harm healthy Jewish-Christian relations, experts say.” I have personally been involved in interfaith groups and dialog for 30 years and it is my strong belief based on the words and behaviors I've witnessed escalate, that these groups have done as much to increase antisemitism as the propaganda of the Middle East. Daily insults and false accusations of bigotry to *them* and false accusation that Jews are persecuting them because they believe in Jesus displayed to Jews in Y/A is also evidence of this.
Look at any question on this issue and what is it that all the Jews address, in every Rabbinic platform statement on this issue from every movement.. It is about Jewish law being utterly ignored and disrespected. Every single movement of Judaism, on every continent, both Chief Rabbi's of Israel, and every Jewish group in every town where there is a large enough population of Jews to have a congregation agree that this is an assault to the very right of the Jewish people's self-identity according to the eternal covenant of God.
NOT ONE OF the hundreds of position statements out there from all the world’s Jewish people attacks them for believing in Jesus/Yeshua/Yahoshua or however they want to Hebraicise his name. (I recognize different groups insist it is spelled differently so I am not trying to disrespect their right to identify their savior as they choose either so do not go there)
I thank God that more and more Christians of integrity are waking up to the fact that these groups (as there are several who have jumped on this bandwagon, and supported by different evangelical Churches ) are also perverting *their* customs, faith and heritage to the world, and present New Testament adherents in a bad light.
Antisemitism has increased as a direct cause of the lies that are presented in their sponsoring churches and in their own churches they want to call synagogues that claim that Jews hate them *for their belief in Jesus*!
If a worshipper of Odin were to call themselves a "completed Christian" I think it would be expected that if a Christian said that Odin worship is outside of and irrelevant to Christianity, there would be no outrage displayed to the Christian for bigotry.
It is not bigotry to declare that Judaism is not Christianity. It is fact.Jesus and worship of or through him is outside of Judaism. Jesus is irrelevant to Judaism, just as Odin is irrelevant to Christianity.
It IS bigotry to the world's Jewish people to insult Jews for explaining Jewish law when asked about Judaism. Jews here aren't asking anyone to take up our religion or even asking those who demand their New Testament doctrine replace Torah law to abandon their choice of faith. We are asking them to stop trying to hijack our identity.The assault to the rights of Jewish people to maintain Jewish identity through Jewish law is hostile to Jews and is creating antisemitism because they claim that Jews persecute them for their faith in Jesus. *That essentially says Jews hate Christians for their belief and fuels centuries of antisemitism.* THIS is how they are spreading antisemitism in communities across the US.
The Jewish people as a covenant nation have a basic human right to maintain the laws of Judaism FOR our people.
You will often seen Y/A “messianic” attempt to NEGATE the Jewish religion's prophecy and concept from the Torah of the Davidic messiah and replace it with the New Testament's redefinition of the concept by calling Judaism “non messianic“. Not only is the belief that the Messiah/Messianic Age will transpire a principle of Judaism, but if Judaism wasn't a messianic religion, the Hebrew Christian evangelicals wouldn't have it's concept to try (and of course fail) to turn topsy turvy for the world's Jews. Since all of Judaism remains messianic, it would be redundant to name a separate group “Messianic Judaism”, just as it would be to call it “Monotheistic Judaism”. Jewish law (Torah, the eternal testament/covenant) remains the sole determinant of the Jewish religion and the New Testament remains irrelevant to it as it has from it's beginnings.You see, if they changed their name and no longer hijacked Jewish identity and Jews stopped speaking out against their misrepresentation of Judaism, they could no longer gain support as martyrs for their faith with the false claims they've been using all along, that Jews "attack them for their belief in Yeshuah".
Then why should Jews be repeatedly subject to sometimes rabid insults if we note that the worship of Jesus is forbidden to Jews by our laws of Torah? What kind of thinking would make it logical to declare that declaring the laws of your religion that it's adherents are bound under must imply intolerance for another religion to exist? The New Testament isn't Judaism. It never has been and never will be. Jews don't ask that others abandon their choice of dogma to follow, we simply ask for honesty that adherents of a religious doctrine whose core tenets of faith contradict and violate the Torah's commandments for the religion of Judaism..don't hijack our name and insult us when we explain Judaism.
Torah teaches that God does not become a man. That is a core part of Judaism and what differentiated it from most of the religions of the ancient Levant. That won’t ever change about Judaism.
The Christian Bible's concept of messiah fits Jesus. The beliefs of those who call themselves “Messianic Jews” fit the New Testament doctrine of the nature of God, sin, and their concept of messiah is at odds with that of the Jewish religion. When Jews are explaining the differences, not once has any Jew told the Christian that they're damned or evil for choosing to believe their doctrine of the New Testament.
This answer is long but I ask that you read a couple of other things I've written I'll link below, too
