While I do not think I could do any better than Messianic Ellen Kavanaugh's article, "Do Gentiles Need to Covert to Messianic Judiasm, " http://www.lightofmashiach.org/smicha.html -
- I think that I have my own view of why coversion is not neccessary. For one, the Bible forbids it, and two, Judaism does not accept Yeshua. If Judaism does not accept Yeshua, how do you think it will accept you?
Judaism is a religion of myth. This is why the scriptures say, in Titus,
"Therefore, rebuke them sharply, so that they will be sound in the faith and will pay no attention to Jewish myths or to the commands of those who reject the truth.
It seems for some strange reason, some people in Messianic Judaism feel the need to be accepted into a group that both calls G-d a liar (1st John 5:10) and hates the beloved Son of G-d. Why? So you can boast about your flesh? "I've converted to Judaism!" ?? So you can feel accepted by the Jewish community? Listen, they hate your Jesus, and they do not accept Him. You will never be accepted by Judaism. Never. Not while you name the name of Christ. And you can keep the feasts, and speak Hebrew, but the bottom line is, as long as you name the name of Yeshua, you will never be accepted by the Jewish community and its Judaism.
The only way that you can be accepted into Judaism is for you to cast away the true Messiah.
If you love a religion of myth and lies, a religion where G-d cannot stand their religious festivals (Isaiah 1:14) (how could G-d rejoice with Jews at their feast days when they have called Him a liar and deny His beloved Son?) - a religion that claims to know Torah but obviously does not, for if they did they would believe what Moses wrote about Jesus - if that is the type of environment you wish to yoke yourself to, then go ahead, break the L-rd's commandment about being unequally yoked with unbelievers, and go join them.
