Jews for Jesus is a Messianic Jewish evangelical organization that focuses on the conversion of Jews to Christianity. ==Beliefs== A summary of Jews for Jesus' beliefs:〔(Statement of Faith ) (Jews for Jesus) written January 1, 2005〕 * The Old and New Testaments, as originally written, are divinely inspired and inerrant. * Recognition of the value of traditional Jewish literature, but only where it is supported by the Bible. * God the creator exists as a trinity, is perfect, all wise, all powerful and all loving. * Jesus is the Messiah, the second person of the Trinity, was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, died for the sins of all humanity, rose again, and is co-equal with God. Jesus will return to earth in the near future. * People are saved through a belief in Jesus as savior and an acknowledgment of their sins, not by their achievements. * Heaven is a reward for those who are saved; Hell is a place of eternal separation from God for the lost. * Israel exists as a covenant people through whom God continues to accomplish His purposes and that the Church is composed of both Jews and Gentiles who acknowledge Jesus as Messiah and Redeemer. Jews for Jesus takes the mainstream Christian positions that Jesus is the Messiah, that his coming was prophesied in the Hebrew Bible, and that Jesus is the son of God, the second person of the Trinity. Jews for Jesus believes that their views of the Messiah are entirely compatible with the view of God presented in Jewish scriptures,〔(Don't Christians Believe in Three Gods? ) (Jews for Jesus) January 1, 2005〕 and that the doctrine of the Trinity, fundamental to the Christian faith, is not entirely alien to Judaism.〔"While it is true that the Old Testament portion of Scripture does not present as clear a picture of the three-in-one/one-as-three Godhead, there are indications of the plurality of the Godhead in the Hebrew Scriptures." (The Trinity in the Old Testament ) by Catherine Damato. (Jews for Jesus) June 1, 1987〕 According to an article on Jews for Jesus by B. Robinson of Ontario Consultants on Religious Tolerance,
