Best Ever Explanation

As often as I try to explain to others that Messianic "Judaism" is a part of Christianity, I am baffled by people's inability to see this obvious fact. It seems that they have trouble accepting the idea that something that "looks" Jewish is not actually Jewish. But, courtesy of Chosen People's Ministries, I have found the best description of what a Messianic congregation really is.
From Chosen People's Ministries Messianic Congregations FAQ:

"How is a Messianic congregation different from a church?

Messianic congregations are the same in the sense that they support and teach the basic tenets of evangelical Christianity. They are different because they do so in a Jewish way, with Jewish liturgy, music and other features of Jewish community life, which adds a dimension not found in other Christian traditions. "

Exactly! Use Jewish features while teaching evangelical Christianity. The perfect, and accurate, description of Messianic "Judaism" and their congregations.
