god have to BE Jewish
2007-12-23 05:43:08 · update #1
God is not, has never been, and will never be human.
Is it sooooo difficult to worship an unknowable power? Above all, God wants us to love and respect our family, friends, and neighbors. Is it really necessary to know what Jews looked like 2000 years ago in order to do that?
…Jews felt that, in Christianity, their core teachings had been perverted and abused. They read some of the New Testament’s insidious attacks against them and wondered how a book claiming divine authorship can be so blatantly anti-Semitic. Although Christianity stemmed from Jewish origin, it took the concept of the Jewish God and associated it with a man; took the concept of sacrifice and associated it with a human sacrifice. Christianity took their cherished Torah and said that it had been superseded by a new testament. And finally, it took the concept of the chosen nation itself, claimed that the Jews had been abandoned by God, and called themselves the new Israel. Jews reacted with outrage. The Jews withdrew from mainstream Christian society. Christians’ burning Jews at the stake as heretics would do little to make them draw closer.

Okay you made some sense but not with the main question. Christianity is a branch off of Judaism, you are right with that part but to say us Christians we are Jews who rebelled is a bit much.
Honestly, I do not think of God and Jesus as having religion. Religion is a constructed system for humans, it has little to do with the Divine from a philosophical point of view. HE is Lord and Savior, period. There is nothing to it more than that. You may refer to it as oh the Christian God to assume the God of the Christians is very different than the God of Jewish. But to say God is Jewish is a bit silly. I would not even say God is Christian. That is mixing the Divine into the mortal world. God is! thats it.
I just believe in Jesus Christ (Son Father Holy Ghost). God and Jesus were separate entities during the period that Jesus roamed the earth. While Jesus was on earth he was a human. fyi, Humans are tied to religious affiliations not God!
Jesus was Jewish, you are right on that and you are also right that Christians believe in the same old testament as the Jewish. However, Christians also believe in the new testament which speaks of how Jesus was crucified, died for our sins and rose again. Whereas Jews do not. The point of the Christian faith is an application of faith (believing things that are not seen) as well as salvation and Jesus dying on the cross for our sins. Christ rose again and left the Holy Spirit to us mortals.
Jesus was not white by any means. I think the white Jesus was an image that the White people felt suited them best since back then white sumpremcy was normal and accepted. According to a textbook I studied in college, he was definitely not white but what would be considered today a Palestinian clearly this means he was not white! In fact, he was of middle eastern heritage. Hence he was a man of color, this is often debated because some people have more European features than others in certain parts.
Clearly, he was not white most of the bible takes place in Africa and the Middle East.

Rabbi Jesus said in Matthew 5:17-20, that he was not here to start a new religion, but to fix the Jewish one (that was the only religion obeying God back then). And for a few years after Jesus was killed teaching stayed in Israel.
Then it spread out and Peter decided that the ones not use to the 306 Commandments that God had ordered, would only be limited to a few of them. The religion was Jewish only. Until 305/6 a.d. when 29 men decided to start a new religion that would not obey all Jesus said for us to do. It is called Catholic today. Then all the other religions broke off of it when the Bible was printable and people realized that they were not being taught the truth in the Catholic church.
There is a Jewish religion/section that dose believe that Jesus was the Christ. We all would probably be best if we belonged to it, as Jesus told us too.

I'm not sure I follow your logic here... G-d is not Jewish, He is G-d! Jesus and G-d are not the same. Jesus supposedly was a Jew. I wouldn't think of calling a Christian "A Jew gone bad." Christians broke away from Judaism to form their own religion - there are very few similarities between the two religions, actually. Judaism believes in one G-d where Christianity believes in a triune G-d.

You're right. Jesus was an orthodox Jew from the West Bank.
Christianity came later.

No, it is because it was prophesied that the bloodline of Abraham would eventually be born the Christ.
What are you talking about that Jesus was a white man. There is no description of what he looked like for a reason. He is a man for all the nations. Yes He was a middle Eastern Jew.
God is NOT Jewish. If it were meant for us to know that God is Jewish it would be in the bible.

Indeed...

Wrong. In Jewish lineage, that sort of thing is determined by the mother, for example, if a Jewish woman had a rape baby from a non-jew,, the baby would be a Jew.
