Jews for Jesus aims to mislead
Beginning this summer, an evangelical group called "Jews for Jesus" descended upon the Washington area with the intent of convincing Jews to embrace Jesus. With a $22 million budget, this group has placed missionaries outside of popular metro stops as well as at other high-traffic areas, and has even placed a recent full-page ad in The Eagle right here on campus. Its basic message is that the most Jewish thing one can do is embrace Jesus as the Jewish Messiah. It stresses the Jewish origins of Christianity as proof that a true Jew must believe in the omnipotence of Jesus Christ.
