Christianity threw out Judaism and started over again, with a Bible that is only superficially similar to the Jewish Bible. It is not taken from Judaism. Biblical studies and especially the preservation of documents was a high science in those days. Early Christian writers have tried to get the best possible translations of the Old Testament into Latin that they could. The result was the Septuagint, which is remarkably similar to the Qumran Scrolls. Obviously they were cut off from later developments and understandings of Hebrew Scripture. While early apostles and followers of Christ were Jews, and already understood the Old Testament later followers were not as well versed, and when they went back to look for these things the primary texts were no longer available to them. |
