How come jews and christians be firends?

Question

with all due respect, but how is it possible for christians who call Jesus , the son of God, to be in friendly terms with the jews, who pronounce him as a bastard (yes this is what they do, i don't know about the young generation, but ask their elders, the'd reply the same, unless of course they wana go back on this perspective to avoid conflicts). Give some logical reasons, and don't yell.

Answer 1

The Catholic Church officially teaches:

When she delves into her own mystery, the Church, the People of God in the New Covenant, discovers her link with the Jewish People, "the first to hear the Word of God.

The Jewish faith, unlike other non-Christian religions, is already a response to God's revelation in the Old Covenant.

To the Jews "belong the sonship, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the worship, and the promises; to them belong the patriarchs, and of their race, according to the flesh, is the Christ"; "for the gifts and the call of God are irrevocable."

With love in Christ.

Answer 2

only very old and religious fanatic Jews say that Jesus was sired by a Roman solder and was therefore a bastard. Nonsense. This is their way of fighting back about being ac cussed of killing Jesus. Most Jews do not believe the Virgin Mary story, Bethlehem, stable, three wise men and so on. They also believe that the first believers in Jesus were Jews who thought of him as the Messiah. The earliest followers of Jesus were called Galileans and were not Christians nor did they regard Jesus as the son of God. After all Jesus was a Jew who was considered to be a rabbi (teacher) and an orthodox Jew. Christianity came much later when Paul began his rounds supporting Jesus as the son of God but not at the very beginning. That came later. The evolution of /Christianity is quite a complex affair and would take more than a reply on "answers" to explain it in detail.

Answer 3

First of all, my grandfather is a rabbi and my uncle is a rabbi and I have heard them both speak about Jesus. I have heard many many Jews in the older generation speak about Jesus and most say the same thing. He was a good person, a holy rabbi, and a great leader who made religion very accessable to the masses. They simply do not believe he was the Messiah. They respect that others believe he was. I'm sorry if you have met some hateful Jews. There are a lot of hateful people out there of every race and religion and apparently you have come across the bad eggs of the Jews. But I assure you they do not represent the majority, or you are misunderstanding what they mean in some way. My best friend in a Christian and I go with her to Church. She comes with me to Temple. We enjoy learning about each others' religions and it gives us new perspectives on our own. We can be friends because Judaism and Christianity both teach the same thing: the golden rule.

Answer 4

JANAB HAMZA, obviously you R a Muslim.So it's natural U cant understand two different religious groups being friendly. In your own case, Sunnis & Shias kill each other, for some 4 imams dead & gone 600 years back. You declare Qadianis as Kafirs.No non Muslims can stand U due to Jehadism, now U R trying to drive a wedge between Jews & Xians, shame !!

Answer 5

Why does the Koran specifically instruct Muslims to not be friends with the Jew or Christian? By the way, I have read the verses in the Koran for myself. I know they are there.

Is there something about Islam that requires everyone to be at war with one another? Is there a problem with different faiths such as Judaism and Christianity getting along?

Answer 6

The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews was founded in 1983 to promote understanding and cooperation between Jews and Christians and to build broad support for Israel and other shared concerns. Our vision is that Jews and Christians will reverse their 2,000-year history of discord and replace it with a relationship marked by dialogue, understanding, respect and cooperation.

Based in Chicago and Jerusalem, The Fellowship operates under the leadership of Rabbi Yechiel Eckstein, and is governed by an independent board of directors, people from both faith groups who share our strong belief in building bridges between the Christian and Jewish communities.

Early Christians' contempt for, and oppression of, the Jewish people took the form of anti-Judaism -- a hatred based on religious belief. The more recent conflict is in the form of antisemitism, a racial concept.

Past Christians justified both on the basis of two theological beliefs:
1)That present-day Jews, and their ancestors as far back as the 1st century CE are all personally responsible for the execution death of Yeshua of Nazareth (a.k.a. Jesus Christ). Most people today feel that it is profoundly immoral to hold an individual responsible for activities by their ancient ancestors from 80 generations ago.

2) The concept of supercession: "that Christianity replaced Judaism and that God no longer has a covenant with the Jewish people." 4 This is sometimes called the "theology of displacement," "replacement theology" and displacement theology. It relegates Judaism to an inferior position relative to Christianity. It "regards the Christian Church as the 'true' or 'spiritual' Israel." This belief was first developed by Justin Martyr (circa 100 to 165 CE) and Irenaeus of Lyon (circa 130 to 200 CE). It was largely accepted within the church by the time of the 4th century. This belief has also been largely abandoned today, with the exception of some very conservative Christian denominations. One indicator that this belief has gone out of fashion even among conservative Christians was a poll conducted by ChristianWebSite.com, a Fundamentalist - Evangelical Christian Internet site. A significant majority of their visitors who answered their poll, 86.3%, agreed with the concept that Jews are still considered God's chosen people. 23.7% disagreed. 7

Answer 7

Glow ....you are either Jewish or christian not both.....Messianic jews and new testament judaism are christians in denial. To answer the Question we can live in peace and agree to disagree. Its only when one disrepects the other that there are problems. I myself do not pronounce him a bastard I just don' recognize him but if someone gets a feeling of hope by worshiping him I don't have a problem with it....until I'm disrespected for my beliefs ....then I defend my faith.

Answer 8

Some Jews believe in Jesus.

Answer 9

For me Jews is a missing son in OUR BIG family.
In OLD TESTAMENT, it's written that Jews is God choice people. And Jesus still want to save their soul too. So how can we inimical with people that ever choose by GOD?

Answer 10

Because both Jews and Christians believe in treating your fellow man well and being kind...it doesn't always have to come down to who's right & who's wrong between them.
