That\\\'s not really the line... \\\"Messianic Jews\\\" use the name Yeshua. The dividing line is whether they think there is such a thing as a \\\"divine human\\\" or not. One of the main tenets of Judaism is the idea of God as unique and perfect; the idea of him having a child is completely anathema to it. Not to mention the whole \\\"Jesus died for our sins\\\" thing - sincere repentance is a huge aspect of Judaism and to claim that it\\\'s no longer necessary because some guy died 2,000 years ago would undermine the whole thing.
I\\\'ve actually seen videos of some of the things Jews for Jesus do and pretend to convince unaffiliated Jews to join them... it\\\'s pretty spooky. There\\\'s a lot of misappropriation of Jewish texts and symbols (one video showed them intentionally mistranslating the Priestly Blessing - written before Jesus was born - to include a reference to him).
