What are your thoughts on judaism?

Judaism is an offshoot of the precursor monotheistic religions of Persia, Asia minor, namely Zoroastrianism and other polytheistic religions. Yawheh/Jehovah/Jove seems to be the desert peoples version of Zeus/Jupiter/Jove inasmuch as he was originally considered the chief god, not the only God. Parallels are also found within the Genesis stories. Gilgamesh=Noah, Adam=Atum Ra, Nephilim=Semi deitys such as Heracles/Thor. Judaism isn’t really the foundation of Christianity, but moreso it’s harbinger into the Middle East. In my opinion Ahura Mazda is the deity that best precedes Christ, not the vengeful Yahweh. The fact that Judaism was veered into a monotheistic religion following their liberation from Babylon by a Zoroastrian suggests that Christianity’s roots run deeper than apostate Jews.

Judaism is actually where the foundation of the Christian religion is built. They have a wonderful history, documented not only in a book, but in stone. They are God’s Chosen people. Christians are just their adoptive brother’s and sisters if you will. Can you imagine living thousands of years ago during the exodus from Egypt, of when David was the king in Israel? They have a beautiful culture and history. Some of the stories are almost impossible to believe, if it were not for the fact that mant have been proven by archaologists and scientists in our own time.

miscegenymiser - It is not possible for Christianities roots to run deeper than Jewish roots. Christianity did not begin until Christ came.

The Jewish religion is the topic of the whole Old Testament.

Silverwing…

Honestly…

Didn’t you read a single word I wrote…Gosh, it’s like I’m teaching advanced chemistry to Helen Keller here. People… we can do better than this…I believe in you…you just have to throw me a bone every once in a while and let me know someone’s home inside those Nickelodeon noggins besides Degrassi.

No offense intended Silverwings

The last thing I would want is to challenge someones faith when it gives them inner strength. Just food for thought for people on the outside looking in, like myself.

I would love it if you could give me your sources, I’m never entirely sure where to look for that info.

look up aish.com it is a jewish web site and answers a lot of questions, but gives a lot more.

Funny when you say “ do Jews go to heaven like Christians do?” I know you dont say it in a bad way but still Im offended. Judaism is one of the oldest religions founded by Abraham..some people may ask why not Noah? since he was first than Abraham but to not make this too long Noah just didn’t have the requirements that consider someone a Jew. Yes Christianity came from Judaism not when Yeshua or Jesus came but after..when he died the ones that believed in him and followed him didn’t “oh now we are Christians!”NO. they were still Jews just that they were Messianic Jews. Christianity came along later in Rome I think thats why Christian celebrate pagan holidays like Christmas and Easter
