...same "people"? Raised non-theist here, just wondering a random point.

I was thinking, the Jewish faith/culture has an instilled ideology of their people going through hardships for these thousands of years. But, when that dude Jesus was around, everyone THERE was Jewish, and, are those people not the same people that branched off into Christianity? (Not ALL, obviously, but, some, I'd think, right? Otherwise, where'd the Christians come from?).

So, wouldn't it be (somewhat) safe to say that the "christian people" and the "jewish people" have the same origin of "their people"?.... hm?
My main point is: Are, then, not the Christian and Jewish ancestry not the same "people" that went through all those hardships and slavery for thousands of years?
(I mean this not culturally/racially, but spiritually)
 
Jesus was Jewish along with some of his disciples, but after Jesus ascended into heaven manny of his disciples went out of Israel to minister to gentiles, Jews that believe in Jesus are usually called messianics, some messianics do Communicate with christians, but manny people from both sides are to wound up in miss understanding about the Other religion that they don'tassociatee with each other even thogh there belefes are the same yes Christians and Jews serve the same God.
 
Our roots are Jewish, but there are two problems:

1. Many, many Gentiles were converted (some voluntarily, some at sword's point) and became Christians.

2. Many evil things have been grafted into Christianity in the place of good things that were there before. Jesus would recognize few, if any, churches today as being like his.
 
Xtians believe that but the truth is that Xtianity has little in common with Judaism. Majority of their beliefs don't come from Judaism
 
Judeo-Christianity came directly from Judaism to appeal to a new crowd, that was the point. Jews and Christians are the same, in essence.
 
1) God is God of all peoples
2) God chose Jews to be 'priests' to the world
3) Jesus was the Messiah promised to man
4) As the priests, salvation was first offered to the Jews
5) Some Jews, now part of the 'new' priesthood of Christ shared it with non-Jews (gentiles)
6) All religions agree- Read the first Sura and read the New Testament; Jesus has been placed as our judge and our witness before God at the end of times for each and every man ever born; But not even Jesus knows when that will occur; It is God the Father who is Holder of the Day ofJudgmentt
 
Paul of Tarsus was considered to be the first corruptor of the teaching of Jesus, and today's Christianity is based on Pauline Christianity. Paul violently persecuted Christians before his conversion, and later he claimed to have a "vision". Paul was the one who abolished the Law of Moses - meaning that Christians need not follow the Law.
Jewish god and Christianity's god parted ways, by the infusion of the doctrine of Jesus being god as part of the Trinity - and that is blasphemy to the Jews in elevating a man to be equal and part of god. Though Christian god try to derive its legitimacy from having the same god as the Old Testament, it failed to win over the Jews (OT god's people) and therefore Christians had been persecuting the Jews for the last 2000 years.
 
No, they're not the same people. Can you say that native American Christians are the "same people" as Jewish Palestinians? I don't think so. What about Japanese or Chinese Christians? Christians don't descend from a "people". They learn Christianity from schools & teachers, like you'd learn engineering. There's no backward connection. It's just between you and the man upstairs.
 
The religion of believing in Christ started from Judaism. Then the Romans started Catholicism. Then the Protestants start Christianity. Now there are many sects of the same religion.
 
Kinda, I mean the christans DID tear down most of the torah thereby breaking the convent. But the believes orgininated in the same place not the people.
 
We have the same God technically but Jewish don't believe in Jesus. With Christians our main focus is Jesus & Catholics main focus is Mary. We're all branched off of each other I guess but we don't think the same way, no.
The Jewish have law, Christians have faith, Catholics have obedience.
 
absolutely! Christians started at the point where Christ came and the people chose to believe in Him, but that doesn't mean they stopped believing the things they believed before He came.
