I think Dr. Brown avoided the main reason people are bothered by George Bush’s support for a “Jews for Jesus” group.
Is it really appropriate for a former president to advocate for apostasy?
(and, yes, I understand that Dr. Brown does not consider Jews becoming Christian as apostasy — but, obviously, most Jews do. Re-naming them “Messianic Jews” does not change this. )
How would Christians react if, let’s say, Bill Clinton endorsed an atheist organization which works to get Christians to abandon their faith? There would be outrage, I have no doubt.
I, personally, don’t care. But let’s not pretend that we don’t understand why this bothers people.
Greg,
I only gave one youtube link. I didn’t think that you would be open to scholarship.
If you really are a student of scripture and the Greek, you really should read this scholarly treatise:

And this short article:

To be a Jew is to be part of an ethnic group. It’s not membership in a theological school. It’s like being Spanish or Italian, it’s a matter of heredity. How do you get apostasy from that? And they’re not “becoming Christian” they’re embracing Messiah which is a perfectly natural thing for anyone of Jewish heredity to do. The Hebrew translation of Christ is Messiah. Hence they are “Messianic Jews.”
The above was addressed to Greg.
