Jewish Christian Religion

During Christianity’s beginning in the Apostolic/Ante-Nicene Period, the most obvious changes took place while it also maintained some aspects of its Jewish heritage. Of course the first change away from Christianity’s Jewish past was the converting of Jesus’s followers to the Christian faith. This happened abruptly after Jesus’s death in 30A.D. Jesus’s teachings were accepted by many Jews and even some Gentiles, which led to

The earliest recorded text teaching Christianity has its roots buried deep within Judaism. The birth, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, as the Messiah, created a new ideology of worship. The Messiah is the savior for all people and of all sins. Paul carried the message of the Messiah to the Gentiles. His missionary journeys and establishment of churches enabled the spreading of the message throughout the Roman Empire. Christianity grew in acceptance; those that believed in the Messiah separated and began to worship on their own. This marked the beginning of the split of Judaism and Christianity.

As Christianity’s history unfolds, many thought Christianity began with Jesus Christ who was Jewish. Dating back, Christianity’s roots goes further back and is found to have begun as a movement within Judaism during the first century. During this time a Jewish rabbi named Jesus of Nazareth, which took up a public teaching ministry, after he began preaching about the coming of the kingdom of God. The Christian Scriptures,

Being a Christian wasn't easy then and it's not easy now. Christianity went against what everyone believed although it was the same faith but it still had differences which weren't accepted. Christianity was thought of as another sect of Judaism, kind of like a fad would rise up and then die down eventually. Christianity was looked at as heretical (Gonzales, 42). Being a Christian meant you had to believe that the Messiah had came and not be still awaiting him to come. So this meant you would spread the message and that would cause issues, big issues and sometimes riots. So what happen was Christianity begin to become separate from Judaism because the distinction between Christians and Jews became very clear (Gonzales, 42). Seeing this as a

Jesus Christ and his disciples were the beginning of Christianity in Judea about 2000 years ago. Judea was ruled by the emperor of Rome Constantine during that period. The Romans beliefs were polytheistic because they were pagan and that made things difficult for Jews. This difficulty caused the Jews to dislike the Romans, and

The biggest difference between Judaism and Christianity is their view on God and Jesus. Christianity teaches that Jesus Christ is the fulfillment of the Old Testament prophecies of a coming Messiah / Savior. Christians believe that Jesus is the son of God, part of the trinity, and that only through

Christianity began with the Jews, which would then break off once Jesus traveled and was crucified. Some were converted Christians, and others were the Jewish whom wait for their messiah still. At this age, there are many denominations of Christianity, like Catholic, Evangelic, and Methodist. Their sacrifice was for all, Jesus Christ on the cross.

When choosing my classes at the beginning of the semester I wanted to choose something that I was interested in learning but didn’t know much about, and that’s exactly why I chose to take this Jewish Studies course. As I was raised a Catholic and attended Catholic school all my life I knew very little about the Jewish Religion. Now my knowledge of the Jewish faith has strengthened and has been fulfilled with the help of this class and Rabbi Bogot. The phrase I chose to right my term paper on is the word and meaning of Mitzvah also known as commandment. As stated in the syllabus packet “A Mitzvah is a God-mandated behavior. These behaviors, introduced in the Torah as statutes and ordinances for the Hebrew people, define the ways in which

Judaism is one of the monotheistic religions. It is one of the most ancient. They believe in one god. They also believe Messiah will come, the dead will be resurrected, and the word of the prophets are true. Judaism was the first tradition to teach monotheism, the belief that there’s only one God. “As Judaism evolved, the idea of God evolved, too, focusing on One unknowable, universal, image-less Being, Who, because the universe is framed in Love, requires justice of human beings” ("Taking a Look at Jewish Religious Beliefs"). Early Jewish history is told in the Hebrew bible. Their holy book is the Torah. Their faith usually carried them through the tough times they experienced in life. Judaism teaches that maintaining the following of Jewish teachings will bring blessings. Almost everything a Jewish person does can become an act of worship. “Because Jews have made a bargain with God to keep his laws, keeping that bargain and doing things in the way that pleases God is an act of worship. And Jews don't only seek to obey the letter of the law - the particular details of each of the Jewish laws - but the spirit of it, too. A religious Jew tries to bring holiness into everything they do, by doing it as an act that praises God, and honours everything God has done. For such a person the whole of their life becomes an act of worship. Being part of a community that follows particular customs and rules helps keep a group of people together, and it's noticeable that the Jewish groups that have been most successful at avoiding assimilation are those that obey the rules most strictly - sometimes called ultra-orthodox Jews” (BBC "Religions - Judaism: Jewish beliefs" 2009).

Growing up in a secular Jewish family religion was never really important to me. We seldom attended synagogue, except in the rare case of a cousin or friends’ Bar Mitzvah or Bat Mitzvah. I, myself and my sister failed to even have our coming of age ceremonies; We were too lazy. My family and I have failed by all accounts to be good practicing Jews. My sister and I have failed to become Jewish adults, and in my childhood Jewish day school Anshe Emet in Chicago’s Lakeview neighborhood, I was nothing more than a no good Mashugana, with a rebellious streak.

Judaism as a religion does promote the idea of life after death. While the idea of the afterlife is mentioned numerous times throughout the sacred text there are no principles laid out that describe the exact process once an individual passes away. For these reasons, much of the beliefs surrounding the afterlife relies on an individual’s interpretation. Therefore, there are many different beliefs that stem from one basic fact. Ultimately, the Torah explains that those who practice good deeds will find their loved ones after death, and that those who commit sin will never have that luxury.

Judaeo-Christianity is in a crisis of faith. Surely, Fr Francis Marsden (Credo, The Catholic Times, 12 and 19th August); feeding Catholic children theistic Darwinism combined with the big bang theory is far worst then atheist Professor Richard Dawkins will ever do; as Confused or lukewarm Catholics are produced, unsure of scripture, unable to defend its substance verbatim, and who will eventually leave the faith.

The Christianity of the Byzantine Empire under, and after, the rule of Justinian I during the early 6th century was the sole public religion of the Roman world. He built the Hagia Sophia, the Church of Holy Wisdom, which became the symbol of Constantinople’s position as the center of the orthodox Christian world. This imperialistic religion stands in stark contrast to the Christianity that first came to the Horn of Africa, Central Asia, China, and Northern Ireland nearly two centuries earlier. I will show that the Christianity that found itself in these places was a transformative religion that could adapted to the cultures it encountered.

Before I begin my story, it is important to understand how Judaism and Christianity doctrine differs on the interpretation of human nature, and how this difference affected my personality. Christian religion follows the dogma that God has power over the outcome of one's life, by 'let(ing) go and let God' problems will resolve according to God's will. Whereas, Judaic doctrine focuses on personal choice and responsibility for one's actions. This sense of personal accountability and control over destiny is what gave me the agency, grit, and determination to work with my Learning Disability and never give up.

Religion is the belief that people use to help define the meaning and purpose of life. Generally this purpose is linked to a higher power. Judaism, Christianity and Islam religions are three major religions in the world. All three consider themselves to be monotheistic. This is the belief in one god that is the supreme ruler of all. These three religions share many commonalities, as well as differences.
