In what ways do the teachings of Jesus reflect the Jewish tradtion?

Answer 1

According to Judaism and Jewish belief, Jesus was involved in significantly altering and destroying traditional Jewish teachings. Jesus taught or implied many things contrary to Judaism, such as: blood sacrifice, that kashrut is unimportant, that the Shabbat should be desecrated, and that the Law treasured by the Pharisees was unimportant.

Answer 2

Firstly, just to clarify a previous answer:

There is no evidence that Jesus ever went to Egypt. Indeed, the Christian bible itself is contradictory on this idea, stating both that he DID and later that he DID NOT go to Egypt.

To answer the main post:

Jesus was born into a typically large Jewish family. He started off by teaching basic Torah (holy Jewish text). But gradually, he introduced ideas that violate Jewish belief. He apparently claimed to be 'god'. In Judaism, no human can be divine and G-d never takes human form. So Jesus was, at this point, already departing the Jewish faith.

* (Added by Faizzzzz) Jesus never claimed to be God, only to be a child of God. If you read it carefully it also says that there are many children of God and that is is possible to become a child of God by literally being reborn. It was many many years after Jesus that other men from the "Christian" church introduced the doctrine that Jesus was God. These men also introduced many other doctrines which have caused numerous problems for people genuinely trying to follow the teachings of Jesus ever since.

Also, to correct another answer: there is no evidence whatsoever that Jesus was of a 'prophetic' mindset. The Gospels were not authored by any eyewitnesses to Jesus's life, even Paul never met Jesus. Nor is there any evidence that Jesus was the wonderful Hebrew scholar the Christian bible makes him out to be.

One can't rely on the Christian bible for information about anything to do with Jewish life at that time. The NT is full of errors regarding Jewish religious law.

It was obvious that Jesus was an Israelite. He kept the Shabbat, the feasts, the appointed times, etc. etc.

He was most definitely Jewish.

How else could he, at the age of 12, speak at the level of the learned men of the synagogue? 1.) Jesus taught at times giving the impression of being a communist revolutionary. (Fight the power) 2.) Also Buddist thinking seemed to be prominent in his teachings- I must study more about buddism to be able to fully explain my opinion about that. 3.) He is Universial in his teachings.

: Matthews 5:18-19, "Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or tittle shall nowise pass from the [Mosaic] law, till all be fulfilled. Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven. "

Answer 3

I'm pretty sure he did. 5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. 5:18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. 5:19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. Jesus frequently quoted from the Jewish scriptures in His teaching, pointing out how He fulfilled them as well as wrong teachings of the Pharisees in His day. The blood sacrifices in Leviticus show that blood was necessary for atonement for sin. Jesus shed His own blood to atone for the sins of the world. He was the Jewish Messiah, as foretold by the prophets, but since they rejected Him as such, a new 'religion' based on faith in Jesus Christ began, which certainly had Judaism as its basis.

The difference was that the ceremonies of Judaism were largely superseded by Jesus, as symbolized by the tearing of the veil in the temple at His death. It is interesting to note in

7And the word of God increased; and the number of the disciples multiplied in Jerusalem greatly; and a great company of the priests were obedient to the faith. The priests as custodians of the temple worship were in a position to know about the thick veil being torn 'from top to bottom', and to correlate this with the time of Jesus' death nearby. Thus many of them became believers as a result of this sign and what it meant. Jesus became for them 'the lamb who takes away the sin of the world.'

Answer 4

first of all Jesus was Jewish, he died Jewish too. his teaching were what he believed was better aplication of gods teachings and as such his teachings are practicly the same as Jewish ones. he was anounced "son of god" post mortem and only 200 years later did Christianity evolved into a religion

Answer 5

When he was young, Jesus joined with his Jewish family and others who had the custom of going to the temple in Jerusalem to engage in organized worship. (Luke 2:41-43) As a grown man, Jesus joined with his fellow Jews in worshipping God at the local synagogue. (Luke 4:14-16) When speaking to a woman from a different religious background, Jesus said: "We worship what we know." (John 4:22) Jesus here clearly identified himself as belonging to the Jewish form of religion.

Answer 6

Ask him.

ANSWER: Actually being Jewish had nothing to do with Jesus' beliefs and teachings. Jesus was the Son of God who came down to earth from God the Father to teach God's ways to mankind. Other than teaching, Jesus' main mission on earth was to reconcile man back to God. Jesus came to die for man's sin and He did that on the cross and after being in the grave for three days He resurrected. This means that if you believe on the Lord Jesus Christ you can now go to heaven by confessing His name and your sin and believing in your heart that Jesus died, was buried and resurrected the third day.

God brought Jesus on the earth as a Jew because that is the nation God chose to bring salvation to mankind. God before hand had given that nation His laws and commandments to live by and of coarse that is the laws and commandments Jesus followed.
