I understand that it's more than the fact that Jesus is or is not the Messiah.However, it can not be disregarded that Christainity IS a broken off link from Judaism, and is a branch off of it. I never said they were "the same thing". There are countless differences, but again, Christians believe that Jesus was in fact God in human form, and at that point there were many new or changed aspects of religion that were now upheld. Jews don't agree with what happened when Jesus came to earth. Christians do. It's not like Christians in their beliefs manufactured a "new" God, that did not exist before Jesus. They believe it's the same one as they were worshiping before Jesus. Whether Jews agree with that or not is besides the point. It's different interpritations of the same Bible. Jews believed nothing changed with Jesus, he was "just a man". Christains believe otherwise. Again, either Jews or Christians are wrong in the way they worship the ONE God (or prehaps both are), but that doesn't mean there are two seperate ones. |
