If Jesus was a Jew then why all the other religions?

Why aren't we all pagan, technically, it is the oldest religion there is.

You see that list which polskajason gave you?

EVERY one of those theological elements so central to Christianity comes - NOT from Judaism - but from Hellenic mystery religions. Including the idea that one can be 'saved' by participating in certain rites (like eating the dead/risen god's body in the form of baked wheat cakes) and believing certain things.

If Jesus was a Jew at some point, he most certainly left it when he acted as priest of Osiris in the Last Supper.

Some Christians fail to realise Jesus was a Jew, so i guess that would be one reason. And Christianity was designed to follow Jesus' teachings, which many have obviously failed at too.

answer: the moment someone began worshiping Jesus, it became a separate and incompatible religion with Judaism.

Simple. Jews worship G-d and G-d alone and G-d does not have a son nor does He become human.

Christian beliefs are incompatible with Jewish ones.

and the rabbit is spouting nonsense - none of those are in the Talmud about Jesus of Nazareth

Judaism doesn't recognize the religion that was created unbeknownst to Jesus (it was created several hundred years after his death) for many reasons:

- Judaism doesn't believe in "original sin"

- Judaism doesn't believe in vicarious atonement (Jesus dying for humanity's sins)

- Judaism doesn't believe Jesus was the Messiah

- Judaism doesn't believe in hell

- Judaism doesn't believe you're required to believe anything (i.e. no dogma such as JC is a savior, etc.)

So Christianity (and Islam) might have had their roots in Judaism, the differences are large enough to be considered separate religions.

LOL. . sure Jesus was a Jew but the Jews dont believe in Jesus. They are still waiting for their messiah to come where Christians believe he already has.

And of course their are Jews by race and not really by religion.

famous member =/= correct

EDIT @Melissa@: All I'm saying is, just because a famous historical fellow was a member of a religion dosn't mean that religion is correct. King Tut worshiped Atun. So that must mean Atun is the one true god, right?

And just for the record, BrokenEye is one word.

Totally agree, especially since xtianity is the polar opposite of Judaism. Why they never consider what Judaism teaches is astounding.
