Reply #32: Jews for Jesus is a group of people also known as messianic Jews

[JVS]

These people are Jews in that they trace their lineage back to Abraham. Many of them tend to keep much of the old laws of Judaism (things like circumcision, observance of the sabbath, kosher laws, Jewish holidays, and other such customs). They are messianic in that they believe that Jesus of Nazereth was in fact the messiah.

One might say that that is impossible, but then again there are many atheists who consider themselves Jews. Why not these people?
