The Relationship Between Judaism and Christianity
#51
American Shtetl (Shtetl = Yiddish for the word "City"?) This appears to be a most interesting book to read:

Städtle - Swabian and Baden for small town

Städtel - never heard of it, but seems to be the same word, maybe old Swabian :-)

Yes, the story sounds interesting.

From the Catholic perspective, we see Christianity as having come from Judaism--as in, without Judaism, there would be no Christianity. There is no doubt, from our perspective, that Jesus and his followers were Jewish and lived and died as Jews.

This perspective on the nature of the relationship between the two was interrupted somewhat when I read several opinions from certain Jewish scholars who insisted that Jesus and his followers were no longer Jews--that is, the moment they took on the belief in Jesus as the Messiah, they ceased to be Jewish. Now, I'm not here to get into the can of worms that is "Messianic Judaism" because that's a huge issue in itself; but I have to bring it up because they were using the rejection of Messianic Judaism as a way to look back and retroactively declare the followers of Jesus--and Jesus himself--apostates from Judaism.

I had always thought that Jesus and his followers would not have recognised themselves as Christians but rather as Jews. The Gospels are unreliable because since the time they were originally written, it is clear that they underwent some influence by anti-semitic, gentile hands--those portions of the Gospels which remain relatively uncorrupted, however, make it clear that Jesus taught his followers to obey the Pharisees--who eventually evolved into rabbinical Judaism. In spite of this, I was in some personal conversations on this topic with an Orthodox Jewish person who told me that in spite of the fact that Jesus and his followers saw themselves as Jewish, their belief in Jesus as the Messiah cancelled that out and made them race traitors, after a fashion.

In light of that, the Christian use of the Tanakh was seen as "appropriation." I was actually kinda surprised to hear this, because the Christian perspective is that Judaism is a tree, Christianity is a branch off the tree and we Gentiles are grafted onto that branch. The metaphor of being "adopted" is huge in the writings of Paul. From the Chrisitan perspective, this may be all fine and dandy, but it's not so easy from the perspective of Jews standing outside of Christianity looking in. For one thing, the Christian belief in the Trinity (which, I will insist till my dying breath that we believe in ONE G-d) has been said by some Jewish scholars to be indicative of the fact that on top of not really being related Judaism at all, we Christians don't even worship the same G-d. The Shema prayer is part of Christianity, though--in the Gospels, Jesus prays it. In Catholicism, our prayers always close with the insistence on One G-d--a belief in HaShem.

So now I wanted to get some perspectives on this. A few concepts have been thrown out to think about are: Appropriation, apostasy, race treachery, and idolatry. Is there contiguation between Christianity and Judaism or is there a hard break?

So, that's part of the discussion I wanted to hear because, again, the Christian perspective--at least from my group of Christians--had been that we were brothers or adopted brothers; but some stuff I was reading from some Jewish scholars suggested that we're not brothers--we're not even adopted brothers: we're just a group of dudes that started saying that we were brothers without any real reason to say that. So I wanted to get even more Jewish perspectives on the nature of the relationship between Judaism and Christianity.
One thing people forget is that the world did not start off Hebrew.  It started with Adam and the promised Messiah after he (Adam sinned).  Cain and Abel approached G-d differently with Abel being accepted because he offered blood signifying belief in the coming seed (Messiah).  Cain tried to come another way and was not accepted.  Cain killed Abel for his righteous stand and Eve had another son -Seth.  Seth had a child -Enos.  And with Enos men began again to follow G-d according to the belief in a coming seed who would offer His own blood to fix the sin of Adam that brought death to the world.  Genesis 5 is the geneology of the men who believed.  And given the lifespans of these men Adam was still alive to talk to Methusaleh and Lamech -Noah's grandfather and father.  And what did they talk about?  The coming seed who would bruise the serpents head (destroy) that rules over men through the spiritual death brought on by Adam's sin.  G-d said Adam would die in the day he ate the fruit.  Well, Adam lived 930 years physically.  But spiritually he died on the spot with G-d calling "Adam, where are you?"  And since all men now physically die we can know we were born with Adam's spiritual death.  So Genesis 1-11 is G-d's promise of a coming redeemer protected for future generations by G-d's saving of Noah and judging the world by a great flood.  And then came the great Patriarch Abraham BY AND THROUGH whom this redeemer would come.  G-d made promises to and through him to the Messiah.  Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and the twelve tribes job ___ to get the redeemer into earth (to give G-d a body) not by works of the Law but by the hearing of faith.  Abraham believed G-d and it was accounted unto him for righteousness.  The Law says if a man can keep the statutes of the Law he shall live by them.  But noone could keep the Law.  Therefore it is by faith so G-d can be just and the justifier of men.  Believing against all contradictions of his (Abraham) and Sarah's inability to have children -Isaac was born - the child of promise foreshadowing the Messiah.  Isaac himself was willing to offer himself as a sacrifice when G-d commanded Abraham to offer him (another type of the Messiah).

Veil,

This isn't  Christian forum so your "view" of the Hebrew bible and "messiah" is not what Judaism says or believes.

Please refrain from bringing Christianity into the Hebrew bible.

Thank you.

It slowly gets tiresome having a Christian telling Jews about Judaism, and what we are to believe.  It is the missionizing thing very typical for many Evangelicals and some Catholics!
