| | Messianic Judaism/Jewish Christianity |
 | | According to the constitution of the Messianic Jewish (Hebrew Christian) Alliance "they look to the One God (Father, Son and Holy Spirit) as their sole divine authority and acknowledge the Tanach (Old Testament) and Brit Hadshah (New Testament) as the Word of God. | | | Messianic Jews/Jewish Christians adhere to certain Jewish practices while acknowledging Jesus (whom they refer to by his Aramaic name Yeshua) as the Messiah foretold in the Hebrew scriptures. | | | Hebrew Christians are quite happy to be integrated into local Christian churches, but Messianic Jews seek an 'indigenous' expression of theology, worship and lifestyle within the whole church. |

| | Christianity and anti-Semitism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Debates between the early Christians - who at first understood themselves as a movement within Judaism, not as a separate religion - and other Jews initially revolved around the question whether Jesus of Nazareth was the Messiah or not, which also encompassed the issue of his divinity. | | | Also, the two religions differed in their legal status in the Roman Empire: Judaism, restricted to the Jewish people, was exempt from obligation to the Roman state religion and since the reign of Julius Caesar enjoyed the status of a "licit religion". | | | A classical Christian principle is that all people must know God as revealed through Jesus, as that is the only way that anyone can avoid damnnation and gain eternal life in Heaven. |

| | PAUL'S PURPOSE IN WRITING ROMANS |
| | The position that the ancestral worship was incompatible with Christian faith and could not be tolerated as a practice in the Christian Church was reiterated. | | | The lordship of Christ is the ground for the unity of Jewish and Gentile Christians. | | | Paul's purpose was probably to build up a Roman Christian community net-work among the Jewish and the Gentile Christian house churches, and at the same time to let the Jewish house churches (Jewish Christian synagogues) retain their relations with the Roman Jewish community. |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Judaizers |
| | They welcomed the accession of the Gentiles, but the Jewish complexion of the Church must be maintained, the Law and the Gospel must go hand in hand, and the new converts must be Jews as well as Christians. | | | At Jerusalem they frequented the Temple and took part in Jewish religious life as of old (Acts 2:46; 3:1; 21:20-26), so that, judged from external appearances, they seemed to be merely a new Jewish sect distinguished by the union and charity existing among its members. | | | Although the Apostles had received the command to announce the Gospel to all the nations, they and their associates addressed themselves at first only to Jews, converts to Judaism, and Samaritans, that is to those who were circumcised and observed the law of Moses. |

| | Jewish Roots--WE ARE A SOUTHERN BAPTIST CHURCH. |
| | Jewish believers in Yeshua grew from the 12 disciples to 3,000 on the Day of Pentecost when the Holy Spirit was poured out. | | | Jewish believers were excommunicated from the church if they continued to keep the Sabbath on the seventh day as God commanded in the Ten Commandments. | | | The worldly Christians in Alexandria and Rome changed the Sabbath to Sunday, calling it "The Lord’s Day," in 150 A.D. The date of the celebration of the Lord’s resurrection was changed from the third day of Passover to a Sunday in the pagan Feast of Eshtar, called Easter. |

| | Christians in recent years have become increasingly interested in exploring the life of Jesus, which has led many Christians to a more profound and heartfelt respect for the religion of Jesus, Judaism. | | | However, the role of Christians and Christianity in perpetuating the Holocaust remains a point of contention between the two religions. | | | The latter half of the 20th century saw a wholesale re-evaluation of the Christian attitude toward Jews and Judaism, revolutionizing relations between the two religions. |

| | Jewish-Christian Relations :: What about Christian Jews or Jewish Christians? |
| | While officially churches did little to help their members who were Jewish converts, or descendants of Jewish converts, individual Christians and congregations tried to assist them to flee from countries under Nazi rule. | | | The Committee recognized that many converts continued to follow Jewish traditions and that many did not feel fully accepted in church congregations, where anti-Judaic teaching and preaching was never questioned. | | | If a Jew comes to accept the divinity of Jesus, or a trinitarian understanding of God, or initiation into the Christian community through Christian baptism, these things are seen as antithetical to Judaism. |

| | Should Christians celebrate Jewish festivals? |
| | For the Jewish believers of that day to participate in ritual sacrifices which proclaimed the coming sacrifice of the Messiah was tantamount to denying the actual work of Christ on the cross, "crucifying Him afresh", as it were, as if what He had done needed to be re-done. | | | In particular, I am interested in the emphasis for Christians to honor the Sabbath and other festivals and feasts as the Jews do and the teaching that the Temple will be rebuilt and the sacrificial rites returning. | | | This is not because of any ill-feelings toward his fellow Jews who had not believed in Christ (for he said elsewhere that he would gladly be "cursed" on their behalf if it would mean their salvation: Rom.9:3), but because of his concern for the spiritual health and safety of those who had believed. |

| | Jewish Christians, in turn, need not be dependent on contacts with Judaism for survival; the literary influence of the OT coupled with their primitive tradition could have sufficed. | | | At the same time, Christianity began to define its self-identity basically in terms of its claim to be the true Israel, in the process developing a range of views on the validity or non-validity of the OT Law, and the Jews themselves as apostates. | | | In all this, Christianity is presented as something coming not from the human impulse, but from the power of God, preserved at first through the ancient Hebrews, teachers of the true worship of God. |

| | How Christianity emerged from Rome's defeat of Judea |
| | Freed from the domination of the Jerusalem Christians, and with their faith in Paul's 'gospel' renewed, the Gentile Christians were doubtless eager to dissociate their religion from its Jewish origins. | | | It was held by many Jewish teachers at this time that Israel's state of servitude to the heathen was due to unfaithfulness, and that repentance of evil and zealous observance of the sacred Torah would prepare the way for God's deliverance. | | | It was contemptuous, and for Christians at that time it was also dangerous; for it meant that the ruling class then in Rome were mindful of the fact that Jesus had been executed by a Roman governor, and that the movement stemmed from Judaea, a land associated in the Roman mind with fanatical rebellion. |

| | As Christianity spread, and the persecutions of Jews and Jewish Christians by Roman authorities in their homeland increased, causing the dispersion of Nazaraean (Nasrani) Believers from Jerusalem, the import of the Church and its impact on the ongoing life in Jerusalem began to diminish in the Holy Land. | | | During his rebellion he persecuted the Jewish Christians, who naturally refused to acknowledge him (Eus., 'Chron.', for the seventeenth year of Hadrian). | | | The various groups or sects that claim to be "Nazaraean" and "Orthodox", while at the same time not recognizing the proper headship of the Nazaraean Church of Jerusalem, are considered to be schismatic by the Patriarchate of Jerusalem and are not in full communion with true Apostolic Judaeo-Nazaraean Orthodoxy of the first century. |
