Looking for some feedback
I just posted in a GD thread a reply to someone who claims Jews can "accept" Jesus (whatever that really means) with a link to http://jewsforjudaism.com, which reads very well to me based on my limited education (I am not a Jew but had done some independent study with the rabbi at my college's Hillel). I guess I'm asking for your opinion of the site, and whether it's even worthwhile trying to educate someone who thinks Jews and Muslims can "accept" Jesus and still remain Jewish or Islamic.

1. The site you referred the poster to is a great one...
That is the site the Rabbis around here use to educate against the Jews for Jesus group.

2. I'm not entirely sure of what you mean
At least from a Jewish standpoint, a gentile who follows the tenants of Christianity by default will meet the Noahide laws, thus earning the title of "righteous gentile" and a place in the time to come. This has been accepted orthodoxy for almost a millinia.

Conversely, a Jew who practices Christianity is an apostate.

With the exception of the Noahcide laws (which are followed by both Christians and Muslims), the rest of the mitzvoh are only required of Jews.

3. Thank you for the clarification

I was posting in context of the GD thread which I believe is being discussed here (in this group) also. The poster I had replied to in that thread said that she knew of Jews who had accepted Jesus (though she did not clarify what exactly she meant by that) and the implication was that they were still good Jews. I understood that you could not believe that Jesus was the Son of G-d and still be a good Jew.
