Judaiochristian????

[kittylover0991]

My dad brought this up while we were out at the store one day and he asked me if I knew what that was. I am not sure, but I am guessing that it is someone who is Jewish and Christian. That doens't make sense to me considering that i thought Jews dont' believe Christ has come yet, and Christians do. However, I have seen many people who are Jewish come into the forums so i jsut don't know. Does anybody know what my dad was talking about and can explain it?

Greetings Kitty,

I have heard the term Judao-Christian used in several contexts.

Sometimes it refers to our heritage from our Jewish forefathers, including, of course, Jesus who was a Jew.

Other times I have heard it used in reference to both Judaism and Christianity, particularly when addressed by those who hate both, such as the Moslems.

And yet in others, it might refer to a "completed" Jew or a Messianic Jew.

Perhaps one of our Christian Jews or Messianic brothers can define it better.

Blessings,

Dad Ernie

Jews don't beleive that CHrist has come yet? Why is that? I would like to be educated on this if anyone has the patience and time.

Judeo-Christian refers to the government established by America's founding fathers who based the Constitution and the Bill of Rights on the Torah's guidelines(Books of Moses, aka The Law) for a civil society.

Did you know that Christmas and Easter were outlawed by most of the early American pioneers? Did you know that the Puritans believed in perfect faith that America was to be an incubator for the return of jews to the land of Israel someday? This was 200 years before modern Israel existed.

Many of the christians escaping religious oppression of Europe came to America so they could worship in what they considered the most biblical way...a judeo-christian way.

They would be shocked to see what we have become.

And most jews don't believe in Yeshua....just like most gentiles don't. The difference is that He is THEIR Messiah so they should recognize Him.

In my opinion, the reason they don't see Him as their Messiah nowadays is because the Jesus of christianity is soooooo far removed from the Yeshua of the Bible that it is impossible.

Except when they are shown His love....

I believe the Jews in biblical times were expecting the messiah to destroy the enemies of Israel

I believe the Jews in biblical times were expecting the messiah to destroy the enemies of Israel

and who could blame them? Most prophecies about Messiah say He will rule the nations and the law will go forth from Zion. These things have not happened yet.

There is such a contrast between the suffering servant of Isaiah 53 and the conquoring King that they have decided that it is 2 Messiahs...instead of one Messiah with a dual role in history.

But there were a LOT of jews who did believe in Yeshua or none of us would have ever heard of Him. I've heard estimates as high as a million jews by the end of the 1st Century.

BUt they let the gentiles in and were quickly outnumbered...then the gentiles started telling the jews what the jewish Bible said and soon kicked the jews out.

Until that time, the christian faith was setting Rome on it's ear, but after that it went to sleep for about 1600 years.

But is alive because G-d is faithful to his word!~ Hallelluyah!

Yes, Judeo-christian describes values, morals, not an individual.

For those who are Jewish and come to trusting belief in our Messiah Yeshua ( Jesus) and believe that the whole word of G-d is alive for today are called Messianic Jews. Those who are Jewish by birth but believe as Christians do are just Christians or Hebrew Christians. The words have evolved over the last few decades so it is not used by all the same. How's that for confusing?
