If the old testament is based on translation from the Jewish Torah, does that make Christians, Jews??

Question

And if Jesus(PBUH) was a Jew that had divine revelation to warn the Jews of their mistakes, and the Christians accepted that, then surely they should also accept Prophet Mohamed(PBUH), who was sent to correct the mistakes of the Christians?

** If the old testament is based on translation from the Jewish Torah, does that make Christians, Jews?? **

Yes, it does.

We should all accept, Muhammad, Jesus and all those designated as prophet of The Creator.

The Holy Quran 3: 085
Say: "We believe in God, and in what has been revealed to us and what was revealed to Abraham, Ismael, Isaac, Jacob, and the Tribes, and in the books given to Moses,
Jesus, and the prophets, from their Lord: We make no distinction between one and another among them, and to God do we bow our will in Peace." If anyone desires a religion other than Peace, never will it be accepted of him; and in the hereafter He will be in the ranks of those who have lost.

The prophets run from Adam to Muhammad,
all are from the same source.

Have a pleasant day.

Answer 2

Well, this is not a valid premise in the classical Aristotelian logical standpoint. Christians are broadly defined as followers of Christ. Since Christ was not around during the times of the old Testament, there is no causal relationship between Christians and Jews solely based on the old testament. Now, if you stated that Christians are born of Jews, or that Christ was a Jew, or something along those lines, the premise would be true. Whether the old testament was translated from the torah or not has no relavence in defining Christians as Jews.

Answer 3

No. Jews and Gentiles were completely different. Christians can be from any walk of life, Jews are a people of their own and their "religion" is based upon genealogy and the belief that they are god's chosen people. Not sure that Jews can be classified as a race, but the DNA shows the relationship between members of the group. I believe it's an ethnicity same as gentiles (which basically meant, non-Jewish).

One can convert to Judasim, but one cannot "become" a Jewish person. Does that make sense?

Hope that helps.

Peace,

Answer 4

Well Jesus was a Jew. At first only Jews could become christians, but after one of the apostles was given a vision of unclean foods being eaten It meant anyone could become christian. If you read the old testament it foretells the coming of Jesus so jewish people are those who did not believe Jesus was the manforetold in these profecies. Christians read the old testament and accept the evidence that he was(and is) I hope that answers your question.

Answer 5

Early Christians WERE Jews. Jesus was a Jew. It was in the fact that Jewish leaders were skeptical that Jesus was indeed the Messiah that caused the split. Jewish leaders were expecting more of a military Messiah, and they are still waiting for the Messiah to come, while Christians are awaiting His return.

Answer 6

before Christ commissioned The Church the only way for anyone to get to Heaven was to become a Jew. That is not the way now... Now the only way is to come to God is in The Way He prescribes and receive His free gift of Salvation. Those who do, become part of The Body of The Church...since the ascention of Christ only those of The Church enter Heaven. These are the ones of The True Christian Faith.

Answer 7

actually Jews and Christian are the same root, but Christian believes that Jesus is Messiah, but the Jews don't...
and so the Jews still hold on to the Torah...
but the Cristians...hold on everything Jesus said
because to Christians Torah is a written law
but Jesus is the owner of the written law

Answer 8

I would say that putting yourself under Jewish Law makes you a Hebrew. For example, the Ten Commandments. What makes a Christian is following the Holy Spirit of the Christ Within.

Answer 9

NO -but thanking the Jewish Messiah does=Romans 2 last 2 verses

Isaiah predicted that Jesus would be the Messiah & God with us =Isaiah 7:14, 9:6 & 52:13-53:12 He will be despised and rejected and lay down his life to make atonement for our sins.

I born a physical Jew became a spirtual one when I received Messiah into my heart-Revelation 3:19&20
look at what brings a person to chose wrong-



I prayed "Jesus help me, I am sorry for my sins-even one lie is a sin, come into my heart as you promised and be my frined, amen." Revelation 3:19&20 I love you and knock on your heart door to come in forgive for sins and be your friend, when you ask me in."

now life is good and I am set free from the deamons and the environment issues that helped me chose wrong. thanks David a complete Jew-good question

Answer 10

nope. The old testament is shared by judaism, christianity and islam. But christians aren't jews, because the new testament is what christ taught about the old testament and a variety of other letters and stories written by his followers. "Christian" just means "follower of Christ", but the difference between christians and jews is the new testament.
