I may have stumbled onto the most confused religious group on the planet and considering how confused Christians are that’s saying a lot, but yes gentle reader, I have found a group that is even more confused than the Christians. They call themselves Jews for Jesus. What the…?

Without going into a long theological discussion of the differences between Judaism and Christianity, we really only need to understand two facts to realize just how confused these folks are. First, Jesus was a Jew, although I’d swear most Christians think he was a white man. The second fact is that even though Jews believe in the man called Jesus they do not believe that he is or was the Messiah. The primary reasons are that he did not fulfill the Messianic prophecies — namely bringing peace to the world — and he wasn’t a descendant of King David.

So, now a group of Jews called Jews for Jesus are sending missionaries to all the places in the world inhabited by Jews and trying to convert them to Christianity. Rumor has it that the organization is funded largely by the Baptists. D’oh!
