Judeo-Christian - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Christianity dropped some fundamental Jewish practices, among them the Jewish covenant on male circumcision, keeping of Sabbath, and the keeping of kashrut (in general, only general ethics of the Written Torah of Judaism transferred into Christianity; most of the Law and traditions of the Oral Torah did not). One of the most significant early Christian preachers, Paul of Tarsus, himself a Jew and a Roman citizen, made a point of preaching to the gentiles of the Roman Empire, contributing to the religion's spread. Abrahamic religions — an umbrella term used to refer to the religions of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam as well as smaller, related religions such as Baha'i Faith and Samaritans. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Judeo-Christian_tradition   (1093 words)

Christianity - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Western Christianity in the Middle Ages was characterized by cooperation and conflict between the secular rulers and the Church under the Pope, and by the development of scholastic theology and philosophy. Christian mobs, sometimes with the government support, have destroyed pagan temples and oppressed adherents of paganism (such as the philosopher Hypatia of Alexandria, who was murdered by a Christian mob). Christianity is a monotheistic religion centered on the life, teachings, and actions of Jesus of Nazareth, known by Christians as Jesus Christ, as recounted in the New Testament. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Christianity   (4390 words)

The Myth of a Judeo-Christian Tradition Christianity and Judaism are two distinct religious inheritances, despite all the superficial attempts by modern scholars to manufacture a naive "Judeo-Christianity." The very term "Judeo-Christian" is a mischievous misnomer without historical or Scriptural validity. Justin's Christianity was eventually reducible to three major principles: (1) worship of God, mostly through private prayer and communication of being; (2) belief in an after-life with rewards and punishments for one's actions in this world; and (3) the importance of leading a virtuous life in imitation of Christ and in obedience to His commandments. Christianity was the restatement of a very old doctrine encompassing the Old Testament and the grand verities of the ancients. www.biblebelievers.org.au /judeochr.htm   (3508 words)

Historical Reminder Judeo-Christian and Saint Paul The majority of Christians believe that the Gospels were written by direct witnesses of the life of Jesus and therefore constitute unquestionable evidence concerning the events high-lighting His life and preachings. It is quite reasonable to ask what Christianity might have been without Paul and one could no doubt construct all sorts of hypotheses on this subject. Christianity separated itself politically and sociologically from Judaism; it became the third people. www.witness-pioneer.org /vil/Books/MB_BQS/9historical.htm   (1542 words)

Prager on Judeo-Christian Values No Christian state referred to itself as "Judeo-Christian." That identity arose with the Christians of America, who from the outset were at least as deeply immersed in the Old Testament as in the New. Many Christians, including those who forcefully advocate Judeo-Christian values, believe that one must profess faith in Christ in order to be saved, that no amount of good deeds a person may perform, even if that person also has a deep belief in God (the Father), suffices in God's eyes. Christianity restrained the martial ardor for a time but it did not destroy it; once the restraining talisman [the cross] is shattered, savagery will rise again. theroadtoemmaus.org /RdLb/31JdXn/Jd/PragerJdXnValus.htm   (8878 words)

BRIDGING THE JUDEO-CHRISTIAN GAP Unfortunately, Christians misinterpret the historical duration and purpose of the blood sacrifice, and believe wholeheartedly that "without the shedding of blood, there can be no remission of sin." Most Christians haven't understood that the later prophets changed the focus of forgiveness of sin. One of the traditions that modern Christian Ethiopians still observe is the placing of Tabot (facsimile pieces of broken Torah stone that are wrapped in cloth) upon the head of their Christian leaders during religious festivals and processions. For Christians, Jesus was the sacrificial lamb, and he became the replacement for the Temple sacrifice after the destruction of the second Temple. www.geocities.com /Athens/Oracle/6274   (20350 words)

Judeo-Christian Philosophy and the Founding of America by Michael Marriott -- Capitalism Magazine Christianity was ‘the Way', a road to God to be trodden in practice, not one more philosophical system added to the systems and schools of antiquity." The philosophic aspects of both Judaism and Christianity were actually developed hundreds of years after the appearance of the central characters. Without question a number of the founding fathers subscribed to either the Jewish or Christian religions. www.capmag.com /article.asp?ID=3485   (2420 words)

Judeo-Christian Alliance - Home BOSTON, Sept. 14, 2005 - The United Church of Christ and the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) crossed the line from criticism to outright racism when they passed resolutions condemning Israel’s security fence this summer, according to the Judeo-Christian Alliance, a group formed to stop the defamation of Israel by U.S. churches. I write to you as a lifelong member of the United Church of Christ and as Christian Outreach Director for The David Project Center for Jewish Leadership. The statement was a natural and human response to a terrorist attack on innocent civilians and stands in stark contrast to the churches' attitude toward previous victims of terrorism -- the Jews of Israel. www.judeo-christianalliance.org   (442 words)

The 'Judeo-Christian' myth Christian politicians employ "Judeo-Christian" in their external appeals because they know that overt expressions of anti-Semitism are political suicide. Christian preachers aim to emphasise Christianity's Biblical and Jewish origins through the use of the term, however, they omit 'Judeo' when speaking to Christians alone. An increasing number of Christian politicians are employing the term Judeo-Christian in their speeches to general audiences. www.math.metu.edu.tr /~dpierce/texts/porteous.html   (552 words)

The Judeo-Christian Origins of ‘Islamic' Terrorism That Christian theology is a fraudulent forgery is not surprising since it was founded upon the fraudulent forgeries of a previous generation of priests, who also concocted a system whereby they could inculcate a sense of guilt for sin which they would then graciously offer to cleanse through their religious rituals and practices. At the center of the Christian faith is a symbol of imperial violence and state sponsored terrorism, in the form of a victim of that gruesome form of torture known as crucifixion. The political backwardness of Christianity is probably best epitomized by the warped and twisted development of Christian theology which developed concurrent with the backwards superstition that held that the Bible was ‘infallible' and ‘without error' being the very ‘Word of God'. www.awitness.org /journal/islamic_beheading_terror_bible.html   (4406 words)

Awareness Ministry - Renewal Therefore, the term "Judeo Christianity" is quite appropriate in describing the faith of Yahweh God which was introduced at Sinai and completed (perfected) by Yeshua (Jesus) at Calvary (Heb 12:2). Unquestionably, this is a work of the Holy Spirit to restore to the Church first-century Judeo Christianity through a renewed emphasis on "Judeo." Understandably, some church leaders express apprehension born out of a fear of Judaism and/or legalism. But true Christianity and true Judaism are one and the same thing." When this is fully understood and the "fear factor" toward Jews and things Jewish is eliminated, the Church is going to see an accelerated restoration of Judeo-Christian values manifested in the lives of its people. www.awarenessministry.org /juderest.htm   (2452 words)

Regarding the term Judeo-Christian The term "Judeo-Christian" was invented during World War II, when Christians started realizing how rude it was to rail against the Nazis for violating "Christian decency" since so many of the Nazi victims were Jewish. Instead, it is much closer to the truth to state that from the matrix of ideas surrounding the end of the Second Temple era emerged two religions, Christianity and rabbinical Judaism, both of which claimed continuity with the original religion.

'Judeo-Christian'? - Stormfront White Nationalist Community Those within the "movement", and elsewhere, sometimes use the term "Judeo-Christian" to mean those Christians who have fallen for the lie that Christians must love, protect and help prosper Israel, and by default Jews in general. One can have either Jew values or Christian values (speaking only within the realm of this "Judeo-Christian" question), they can't have both as the two are vastly different, even antagonistic of one another. Christian Identity has identified who's who in the Bible and in the world today. www.stormfront.org /forum/showthread.php?t=157330   (1131 words)

Judeo-Christian Heritage? Early Christianity was a spiritual movement, not a political one. In fact, there's a tiny slap in the Christian face buried in those references: the lack of capitalization of the word 'divine'. The great majority of the common people were still fervent Christians; there was no sense in antagonizing the public when there were more important matters at stake. www.erasmatazz.com /library/Politics/Judeo-Christian.html   (1284 words)

Middle East Update: The Judeo-Christian Alliance - Avi Lipkin I think that the recognition of this by Jews and Christians is a tremendous breakthrough for Israel and all of humanity.  I think that the Messianic Era has now begun in earnest with this Judeo-Christian alliance. Representatives of the three major Christian Zionist organizations with operations offices here in Israel-Bridges for Peace, Christian Friends of Israel (CFI), and the International Christian Embassy Jerusalem (ICEJ)- were present at the caucus' inaugural meeting to discuss areas of cooperation with the caucus MKs. The caucus members said they would now begin to develop joint welfare projects with the participating Christian Allies that could be given high-profile launches from the Knesset itself, while also enlisting Christian support for new informational efforts to improve Israel's standing internationally, with an urgent need to focus on Europe. www.khouse.org /articles/2004/512/print   (721 words)

A Judeo-Christian Looks at the Judeo-Christian Tradition The New Testament is too eschatological to display many values for a Christian society; its writers are preoccupied with life in a cosmos not of their making, not to be made by them, and ruled by "principalities and powers, Caesars and the Antichrist. To muffle the latter observation is to do an injustice to Christian truth claims; to subsume the former into the latter leads to a violation of Judaism—or worse, a violation of Jews. To turn Jewish and Christian faiths into generic philosophies for civil purposes is to misunderstand whatever in them ever gave people hope or power, and amounts to a desecration. www.religion-online.org /showarticle.asp?title=188   (2130 words)

Judeo-Christian tradition - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Christians and Jews relate to each other better today than they have in the past, but anti-Semitism among Christians - and a corresponding hatred by some Jews - has by no means disappeared completely. Jews, Catholic Christians and some Protestant groups reject such claims as historical anachronisms; despite the historical relationship between Christianity and Judaism, today these are distinct religions with very different theologies. Christianity emerged from Judaism in the first century of the common era. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Judeo-Christian_tradition   (2130 words)

Judeo-Christian - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In The Myth of the Judeo-Christian Tradition, Jewish theologian-novelist Arthur A. Cohen questions the theological appropriateness of the term and suggests that it was essentially an invention of American politics. Christianity dropped some fundamental Jewish practices, however, particularly the Jewish covenant on male circumcision, and its most significant early prophet, Paul of Tarsus, himself a Roman citizen, made a point of preaching to the gentiles of the Roman Empire, leading eventually to the religion's modern popularity. Judaism and Christianity have many areas of agreement, as well as sharply defined ethical and religious systems that are in some areas opposites. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Judeo-Christian_tradition   (2130 words)

The Judeo-Christian Oxymoron It would be very interesting to compare the position of those Christians who appeal to Judeo-Christian principles with the position of Reform Judaism regarding gay rights. In a speech to a Christian church, Army Lt. Gen. Given the Christian assertion of divinity for Jesus, the strict monotheism of Judaism appears more like that of Islam. www.rossde.com /editorials/edtl_oxymoron.html   (1161 words)

Judeo/Christian Millennial Cycles These divisions of millennialist thought also concern the relative placement of an event known as the "Rapture", wherein Christians believe that Christians and others believe that others will be taken into the sky and "translated" directly from flesh into spirit in the same manner as were Enoch and Elijah. These are traditionally the area of study of branches of theology known as eschatology and chiliasm, but the subject also has been popularized by certain Christian writers, the foremost of whom is possibly Hal Lindsey, and there are a number of websites expressing a variety of point-of-views on this topic. The "end time" is believed by Christians to be a period of years during which certain Bible prophecies will be fulfilled. www.urantiagate.com /judeo-christian.html   (3479 words)

FrontPage magazine.com :: Judeo-Christian-Islamic Values? by Robert Spencer Most of the Founding Fathers were Christians; Jews have participated in American politics in important ways since the Revolutionary War. Even Enlightenment thinkers such as Locke who laid the groundwork for secular government worked within a profoundly Christian cultural and intellectual context. In America, Protestants, Catholics, and Jews were able to turn away from their histories of warfare and mistrust and fashion a working polity from the values they shared in common — from Biblical and traditional teachings about the equality of dignity of all people before God. www.frontpagemag.com /Articles/ReadArticle.asp?ID=7985   (1472 words)

Judeo-Christian tradition/Talk - Wikipedia The Crusades wound up attacking Eastern Orthodox Christians as well as Muslims, the Reformation led to battles between Lutherans, Catholics, and Calvinists, and both of those groups hunted down and killed the Anabaptists, and of course the later wars between various European countries were fought between ostensibly Christian nations. For Christians, belief in God and Jesus are mandatory, and the punishment for failure to believe in God and Jesus is that the doubter will never achieve salvation. Judaism and Christianity do have some things in common, but they are not the same religion. nostalgia.wikipedia.org /wiki/Judeo-Christian_tradition/Talk   (111 words)

La Shawn Barber’s Corner » Justice Many Jews and many Christians, including many sincerely religious ones, take certain positions that are contrary to Judeo-Christian values (which I have defined at length: In a nutshell, they are Old Testament values as mediated by Christians, especially American Christians). They have a template about Christians and that template is Dominion Theology–the belief that Christians seek a union of spiritual and temporal power according to the Old Testament civil laws. Many Jews and Christians believe that all murderers should be kept alive, that it is not only wrong to take the life of any murderer; it is actually un-Jewish or un-Christian.” lashawnbarber.com /archives/2005/07/19/justice   (3243 words)
