	***To say someone isn't a Jew is irrelevant. The point is that there are many Americans and people worldwide that have these beliefs. I'm Catholic, but I don't go to mass regularly. I'm still Catholic in the eyes of the Church because I was baptized. To say someone isn't Jewish is somewhat offensive if you were telling that to someone. I knew plenty of Jewish people who went to temple regularly and were raised properly, but eat pork and think Jesus was a prophet. They received awards from their synagogue.

Regardless, this isn't a theological website, it's a fan site for a television show that features two Jewish characters (Greg Grunberg says Matt is Jewish). It's an article to help explain some references to the belief.

			****You are correct. But this still doesn't justify putting talk about Jesus and Judas on a page about Judaism. And just because there are people of Jewish ancestry out there who believe that Jesus was a prophet, that does not make Jesus any part of Judaism. [[User:Baradrae\|Baradrae]]

	******* To say that all Jews believe that is incorrect. Every individual is entitled to their own belief, and I know plenty of Reform Jews who believe Jesus was a prophet. Regardless, it seems to be a subject that encompasses more than one faith, so it should be on the religion and faith article. Personally, I think this particular page has some insight specific to a faith. Since there aren't that many Christian-specific references in the show, the Judas reference should remain on the faith and religion page until more Christian references should arise, in which case it should be on that page.--[[User:Baldbobbo\|Bob]] 05:00, 16 July 2007 (EDT)		******* To say that all Jews believe that is incorrect.

			Okay. I don't mean to sound condescending or anything, but I have to explain something to you all here.
			1) Reform Judaism isn't actually a form of Judaism.
			2) So called "Christian" Jews are definitely not a form of Judaism.
			In order to call your religion Jewish, there are 13 principles of faith laid down by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maimonides">Maimonides</a>. These are not optional. These are not open for discussion. If you don't believe in these, you are '''NOT''' Jewish. You can call yourself whatever you like, but you are not Jewish.
			Which means that you '''CANNOT''' accept the New Testament as real and still be Jewish. You are violating the prohibition of idolatry (which, by the way, is one of the three things Jews are supposed to give their life for before they violate).
			And as for Jesus' existence, I have no problem with that. There was a person named Jesus who live about 160 b.c.e. who is referred to in the Talmud. However, this is obviously not the Jesus referred to in the New Testament. The religious issues arise when you claim that the Jesus referred to in the New Testament existed as he is told about there.
			And as I keep on repeating, you '''CANNOT''' believe in both Jesus and Judaism.
