Okay, now I *do* have a Jewish-related question.

[conuly]

I vaguely know who the Jews for Jesus and Messianic Jews are. I'm curious, though - the few times I've heard them mentioned, it's been with some hostility. Why?

there are orthodox jews which partake of the school of thought that jesus was merely a prophet and he was not the messiah.

messianic and JFJ are basically jews that believe jesus was the messiah and that he will return, blah blah blah, same as our xtians except not.

Hmm. Do peoplf of Jewish faith believe there are still prophets comming? I think I've heard of two non jewish religions where Jesus was viewed as a prophet. But they are offshoots of christianity. I saw once online on one site why Jesus isn't seen as being a messiah. That he didn't meet the criteria of some prophecies.

I have one other question of curiosity. Is there ever any issue with christians that convert to jewish? I just wondered because of dietary and general rules/belief differences between the two.
