Ask a question in exactly six words.

Are messianic Jews (or Gentiles) offensive?

Backstory

I go to a church that celebrates the Jewish feast days and such, but if you do much looking at all on-line about messianic Jews or Gentiles most people tend to get angry and say it's hypocrisy. How or is a messianic faith offensive?

those who live a life controlled by religious hypocrisy and myth are offensive to me....you did ask.

KharisJo says,

As a Christian I celebrate the fact that some of the Jewish faith believe that Jesus Christ is the Messiah predicted in the Old Testament, becoming Messianic Jews. As detailed in the New Testament, Christ's death became a new covenant for all peoples of the world - everyone has relationship with God only by faith in Christ. Some Christians choose to symbolically celebrate our Jewish heritage by eg. preparing a Passover meal, but this is not required. I don't choose to do that but don't find it offensive. People express their spiritual beliefs in various ways.
