What do you think should be the relationship between Christians and Jews?

Answer 1

The relationship between Jewish and Christian Religion is basically God. He is the creator of Christianity and he was Jewish. That is the main reason why they share a relationship. So God is what makes the relationship even appear and exist.

Answer 2

Answer 1 (the present)

Christianity is a daughter-religion of Judaism. The two groups today have cordial relations, but for centuries the Christians butchered hundreds of thousands of Jews and expelled them from entire Christian countries.

Answer 2 (the distant past)

their relationship was very complicated. this dispute was mostly because of the growing population of Christians. Another reason why it was this way is because some of the things that the Jews followed, the Christians did not. they also split because they did not agree and/or they did not like the man in charge.

Answer 3

At the time of Christ there wasn't any Christianity. Jesus himself was a good Jewish lad. My understanding of the Christian belief system is that nothing started until the whole resurrection thing was done, which is after "the (life) time of Christ". The creation of Christianity as a separate faith came several years later although the followers of Jesus reportedly identified themselves as Christians. According to Wikipedia "The earliest recorded use of the term outside The Bible was when Tacitus recorded that Nero blamed the "Christians" for the Great Fire of Rome in AD 64 (64 CE)"

In the beginning of the Common Era there were numerous "Messiahs" walking around Israel. Except in modern looking back by the Christians, their Jesus probably didn't stand out too much. Examples: Theudas, Judas of Galilee, "That Egyptian", Simon of East Jordan, "The wonder working Bedouin", Simon Bar Kosiba.

Answer 4

A cordial state of reconciliation and cooperation, though without assimilation.

Answer 5

It would be fair to say that there is a 'kindred' relationship between Jews and Christians - though it is not universal as with anything else we humans interact with.
