Interesting testimony from Joel Rosenberg. Enjoy…
“Dude, how can you be Jewish and believe in Jesus?
It was November of 2002. I had just released my first novel, The Last Jihad. I was doing a telephone interview on a hard rock radio station in Rochester, New York, the city closest to where I grew up in Upstate New York. And the radio host, a guy who called himself “Brother Weese,” asked me this very question.
Here’s my answer.
The story of my spiritual journey — how I was raised by a Jewish father and Gentile mother and came to believe that Jesus is, in fact, the Jewish Messiah — was just released online by a ministry called, “One For Israel.”

I hope you’ll watch them both and share them with family and friends.
Seems very natural to me. Nearly all of Jesus origin followers were Jews. He claimed to be sent to Jews. He was the perfect rabbi. I have both Jewish and Christian heritage, and there is no conflict, but there may be some ignorance of the other on both sides. Thanks!
Thanks for the comment, PrayThroughHistory. I agree, there is likely misunderstanding on both sides. Great testimony, though, to the faithfulness of God. Blessings…and thanks for commenting!
