| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Christianity |
| | Christianity is the name given to that definite system of religious belief and practice which was taught by Jesus Christ in the country of Palestine, during the reign of the Roman Emperor, Tiberius, and was promulgated, after its Founder's death, for the acceptance of the whole world, by certain chosen men among His followers. | | | It was the transference of Christianity from a Semitic to a Greek soil that explains, according to Dr. Hatch (Hibbert Lectures, 1888), "why an ethical sermon stood in the forefront of the teaching of Jesus, and a metaphysical creed in the forefront of the Christianity of the fourth century". | | | Christianity is developed from Judaism in the sense that it embodies the Divine revelation contained in the latter creed, somewhat as a finished painting embodies the original rough sketch. |

| | Christianity is in a direct sense an offshoot of Judaism, because Jesus and his immediate followers were Jews living in Palestine and Jesus was believed by his followers to have fulfilled the Old Testament prophecies of the Messiah. | | | Christianity may be further generally defined in terms of its practice of corporate worship and rites that usually include the use of sacraments and that are usually conducted by trained clergy within organized churches. | | | Tradition and Christianity: controversial funerals and concepts of the person among the Paiwan, Taiwan. |

| | Judaism |
| | The Christian world long believed that until the rise of Christianity the history of Judaism was but a "preparation for the Gospel" (preparatio evangelica) followed by the "manifestation of the Gospel" (demonstratio evangelica) as revealed by Christ and the Apostles. | | | The acknowledged foundations of Judaism are the Principles of Faith, the Ten Commandments, the Golden Rule, and the Law of Holiness. | | | According to Judaic belief, it is through the historical evolution of man, and particularly of the Jewish people, that the divine guidance of history constantly manifests itself and will ultimately culminate in the messianic age. |

| | A Ready Defense - Judaism |
| | Although there are marked differences in many areas of belief and practice between Judaism and Christianity, there is a common heritage that both religions share. | | | It is to historic Judaism, the Judaism of the Old Testament, that Christianity traces its roots. | | | Although Judaism acknowledges that man does commit acts of sin, there is not a sense of man being totally depraved or unworthy as is found in Christian theology. |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Judaism |
| | JUDAISM SINCE A.D. While Christianity thus asserted itself as the new Kingdom of God, the Jewish theocracy, guided by leaders unable "to know the signs of the times", was hastening to its total destruction. | | | Judaism became a science, a philosophy, and ceased to be a political institution" (Schindler, "Dissolving Views in the History of Judaism"). | | | Legal righteousness was the watchword of Judaism, and its attainment by separation from Gentiles and sinners, by purifications, fasts, almsgiving, etc., in a word by the fulfilment of traditional enactments which applied the Law to each and every walk of life and to all imaginable circumstances, was the one concern of pious Jews wherever found. |

| | Judaism and Christianity, but many are devout Christians who feel that the movement is a way to better appreciate the Hebrew roots of Christianity while still maintaining their faith. | | | Adherents of this religion often consider Gentile Christianity to be an irrelevance; except on the question of who Jesus is, they regard themselves as having more in common with Judaism than with Christianity. | | | Messianic Renewed Judaism believe that Jesus was the Messiah, but do not accept that he was God, or part of a Trinity, nor that he ever intended to found another faith (Christianity). |

| | History of Christianity - encyclopedia article about History of Christianity. |
| | Christianity continued to use the Jewish scriptures (the Tanakh became their Old Testament) and accept such fundamental doctrines of Judaism as monotheism, (and thus, in turn, Judaism's sole deity YHWH) and the belief in a moshiach (Hebrew term usually rendered messiah in English, which is equivalent to the term, Christ — Christos in Greek). | | | Christianity is a monotheistic religion recognizing Jesus Christ as its founder and central figure. | | | Christianity was not restricted to the Mediterranean basin and its hinterlands; at the time of Jesus a large proportion of the Jewish population lived in Mesopotamia outside the Roman Empire, especially in the city of Babylon, where much of the Talmud was developed. |

| | G.J.P.J. Bolland: Philosophy of Religion |
| | Christianity is thus really a product of the Hellenic mystery world, and not of native Judaism, for otherwise the resurrection in the flesh would be taught more consistently in the gospels. | | | Christianity was not originally based on Judaism or produced from within Judaism, but, just like philosophy, on Hellenic mystery religion or theosophy. | | | The ascension of the soul to heavens is properly a gnostic-theosophic concept, and it has its origins in the mystery religions. |

If she choses not to support the Good Creation she is supporting the Evil Creation and will die with them ("thy father's house") when they are destroyed as they will be at the End of Time. | | | Judaism has the same idea because it was given to them by their Persian overlords, and Christianity took it from the Jews, but in Christianity it serves no purpose because the fate of the soul depends, not on deeds, but on the gift of god, and then only for faithful Christians. | | | Haman however was gladly crucified by this same Evil Creation of Jews, and they mock him and swing rattles at his name, celebrating and encouraging human wickedness with their gleeful festivities. |

| | The increase of the numbers of Gentile Christians in comparison to Jewish Christians eventually resulted in a rift between Christianity and Judaism, which was further increased by the Jewish-Roman wars (66-73 and 132-135) that drove Jews into the diaspora and further diminished Jewish Christians. | | | Christianity however was not restricted to one people and as Jewish Christians were excluded from the synagogue they also lost the protection of the status of Judaism. | | | The "conversion" of a Jewish born person to Christianity may be seen by Jews as a scourge ("silent Holocaust") and by some Christians as a "blessing from God" for the "salvation" of a non-Christian for their conversion to Christianity. |
