If you mean following all the Jewish ritual requirements, there is nothing against doing that. However St. Paul and the other early leaders decided not to require this of non-Jewish followers of Christ.

Jesus was Jewish, raised Jewish by Jewish parents and all the aposles were Jewish. The Jewish people believed that a savior would be sent to save the world. Some believed that savior was Jesus and followed him and became Christians and others are still waiting for the savior to come because they did not believe that Jesus was the one and they remain Jewish.
Hope that was clear.

God never intended for people all over this earth to become "Jewish". If He did, He would of made all people to be "Jewish". The Tribe of Judah (From the Old Testament [O.T.] ) was where the Messiah would be born from the "Royal" line . This lineage was where King Saul, King David were from, prior to the birth of Jesus. It is not about "race" but about "grace". One is physical, the other spiritual. Christians become "spiritual Jews" upon conversion. Of course, the "break" came when Jesus Christ was both, killed and Resurrected to life. Hope this answers your question.

The historical answer would come with Paul. He encouraged the spread of what we now consider Christianity to gentiles. The more Theological answer is that the teachings of Jesus created a rift in traditional Jewish thought... At least that what I've come to understand anyway..... good question regardless!

Read the Gospels. Jesus came as the fulfillment of the promise given Abraham. As he points out, the Prophets, the Judges, the Kings, and the Teachers of the Law modified God's will far beyond its intent, at times destroying it's original meaning, at times making God's requirements meaningless, and at times adding their own requirements. The New Testament church as delineated in the bible is what most churches follow, and it eliminated most of the requirements of being Jewish.

The 'previous testomony' isn't void. right here is between the examples why. In Exodus 31:sixteen it says,'..save sabbath for a perpetual covenant..for the time of their generations perpetually.'. Their generations are nevertheless happening subsequently it remains binding on them immediately. in the e book 'Acts of the Apostles' financial disaster 7:38 it says, those Israelites 'recieved the energetic oracles to grant unto us'. The 'us' being christians under the 'new testomony', yet those energetic oracles are the 'previous'. Why could they recieve something that grew to become into 'void'? quite some the 'previous testomony' regulations could desire to do with doing the dazzling factor, like being trustworthy in corporation, paying people who artwork for you, combating the unfold of ailment etc. Why could a christian say it particularly is void? besides the undeniable fact that, many christians do not save the 2d and fourth commandments, yet you will could desire to examine some heritage books to ascertain why. Jesus did not come to eliminate the regulation. He grew to become right into a non secular Jew, and stored the regulation, and asked different's to stay along with his occasion.

The separation came because the Jews did not except that Jesus Christ is the Messiah. God has blinded the Jews to the truth until all of the rest of except Jesus as our savior.

No. Master the ropes of your own ship and learn to be personally responsible for your actions . A little kindness goes a lot further than the christian / muslim hatred and murdering misery .So who cares for the hebrew killers of the world either .

Jesus was a Jew and we do follow in his footsteps.
You must not confuse Judaism which existed long before Jesus.
Christianity follows a new set of teachings.

I think so...as do the rest of the Messianic Jews in the world.
We have chosen to give our lives to the Messiah while embracing the traditions of our ancestors.
