How did the jews influence the development of christianity as a new religion?

Answer 1

First of all: Of all mankind, it was the Jews that were entrusted with God's words; and putting them down in written form. Rom 3:2 "it was the Jews to whom God's messages were entrusted" (JB Philips)

Of interest: It was only Hebrews who were used to pen all the books in The Bible; no non-Jews contributed to it. Even the NT was penned by Christians that were natural Jews; no Gentiles were used.

The rest of mankind should appreciate their role in this most important product.

Also: It was from among the Jews, that Christ Jesus the Messiah came. This was in keeping with God's promise to Abraham.

Even though the Jewish nation never recognized Christ Jesus as the promised Messiah; never-the-less the Jews had a preliminary role, towards the development of Christianity as a new religion.

Perhaps this is where their influence ends; and from Jesus time forward, it was Jesus who had the major influence in the development of Christianity; due to his teachings and his way-of-life.

Answer 2

Jesus was born out of the tribe of Judah - 4th son of Israel - which held the Sceptre Promise of a Savior. His closest followers were 12 Jewish men called Apostles. His earliest followers (120 disciples) were Jewish. His central Church of God was at Jerusalem. He is prophecized to come again and stand upon the Mount of Olives which is east of Jerusalem. Revelation 21 states that His Father will descend from Heaven and establish His Tabernacle on Earth in the New Jerusalem for eternity.
