Compare And Contrast Christianity And Judaism
Christianity and Judaism spread in different ways Christianity and Judaism have many things different while many things in common and being closely related. Judaism has existed for roughly 4000 years first starting with Abraham, who kicked off the religion. The people of the Jewish faith have had trouble over those years, like when a Pharaoh enslaved them and forced slave labor and death and when Moses freed them from slavery and they had to roam the desert for 40 years and were chased and kicked out and enslaved by the romans and empires. The largest harm to the Jews lasted from January 30 1933 to May 9 1945 this was called the Holocaust and was done by the Nazi party and was the order by Adolf Hitler to put all Jews in concentration camps and murdered 6 million people. …show more content…
When the emperor received word of this Jesus claiming to be king he wanted him dead. It wasn't until Jesus destroyed a temple full of shopping carts and stuff that he was wanted he was evading authorities and one of his disciples, judith. Turned him in. He was prosecuted and sentenced to death by crucifixion. He was nailed to the cross and left to die. He was put in a tomb and on the third day he rose and went to heaven. Judaism is very similar to the Christian faith. They have new testaments, they worship in a tenaka and pray to god in them. Bar-Bat Mitzvah it spread because of many many tribes. The Jewish religion is actually not that large because of the holocaust that took place that killed 6 million Jews that is basically the main reason why the Jewish faith is so small. So Christianity and Judaism have different core beliefs and spread many different ways, but both come from Jerusalem and share a lot of the same roots but both are very separate

    Although these religions are in constant dispute with one another, they have more in common than most people know about. Both of these religions trace the genealogy of their beliefs, and the foundation of their beliefs back to Abraham. He is their physical common denominator. Both Judaism and Christianity tell the story of Abraham. During a time when the majority of society was worshipping many gods, Abraham believed that he had heard the voice of the one true living God; who call Abraham to worship Him and Him alone. That is why Abraham is considered by theologians and scholars in Judaism and Christianity to be the father of monotheism; thus the next common denominator between the two religions, the belief in one true and more importantly living God. According to http://www.essortment.com/all/callabraham_rssf.htm Abraham was 75 when he first heard the voice of God. According to www.jewfaq.org/origins.htm he was born in 1800 BC, if there information is correct this would roughly place the start of monotheism at about 1725…

    Tension between Jewish Christianity and Gentile Christianity was one big cat fight to say the least. The two groups did not get alone with each other, in fact they barely interacted with one another. The separation between the two led to misunderstanding, mistrust, and hostility even though Judaism had a major influence on Christianity. Jewish Christianity and Gentile Christianity had their similarities that they didn’t come to appreciate until years later.…

    The origins of Judaism can be traced back to the stories of the Old Testament. These stories however cannot be proved by other historical facts (there are no records of the existence of the Hebrews until 1230BCE). (***) Through careful examination of the Old Testament we can conclude Abraham, the first patriarch of the Jews, lived between 1700-1900 BCE. The new nucleus of the religion are said to be formed by Abraham and his son Isaac and grandson Jacob. . These biblical figures, along with their wives, formed their new religion in Canaan. Jacob fathered twelve sons that became the leaders of the twelve tribes of Israel. Due to a great famine in Canaan these men moved along with their families to Goshen, located in Egypt. The great mass of Jews in Egypt was not good and after about four centuries the Israelites had become the slaves of the pharaohs. They built massive monuments that still stand today. The new leader of the Jews was Moses who leads the people out of Egypt. One of the defining moments in the Jewish faith is when God speaks to Moses and hands him the ten Commandments miraculously engraved in stone tablets. Following forty years the Jews built the first temple in the city of David after capturing Canaan.…

    As a way to look for ancient religions and by what I found about Judaism is one of the oldest religions in the world. Judaism is not just a religion, but it is the way and the law for Jews life. Judaism laws are based on Torah. The Torah is the writing of God. Torah is the basis for all sects of all Jews. Torah came from God so it is holey laws and the laws must follow. All Judaism believes in one God and creation. Israel is the Jews homeland. The place where the Jews pray in called Synagogues. The Synagogues built around the eighteenth century as a special action to show their liability to the Jaws and to prove the Jews base. The oldest synagogues located in the United State. It built in 1763 in Newport, Rhode Island. It is Touro Synagogue.…
