Answer 1

Yes. The Old Testament of the Christian Bible is the Tanakh (Bible) of the Jews (in translation). Many Christian beliefs and concepts can be traced back to Judaism.

Answer 2:

The difference between Jews and Christians is that, though we cling to the same Old Testament (though we call it different things), the Jews believe that the Savior/Messiah is yet to come, but Christians, such as I, believe that He already came around 5 B.C and died after 33 1/2 years on the cross for the sins of the world, as He lived a perfect life being the Son of God.

Answer 3:

Christianity did not grow out of Judaism, as Judah is only one of the 12 tribes of Israel and not the actual tribe who was responsible for the temple and the priest line. Many mistakenly refer to the doctrine of the tribes of Israel as Judaism, however this is false as the priests assigned from the house of Israel were of the tribe of Levi not Judah. The system would have been referred to as Levitical and not Judaism. To be jewish indicates you are from the tribe of Judah, and there are 11 other tribes of Israel other than Judah.

The reason this gets mixed up is because Judah was the tribe assigned to the area of and around Jerusalem and outsiders simply refered to everyone from that geographical location as Jews, especially the Romans. Reading from the book of Luke in the initial chapters, you will disvover that the priests of the temple were of the tribe of Levi as was Mary (mother of Christ) and not of the tribe of Judah.

Its important to know the Christ mother was of the daughters of Aaron (the Priest line of the tribe of Levi) and Mary married Joseph of the tribe of Judah of the house of David (the King line - Matther first chapter). This means Christ inherited both titles (Hight Priest - of the House of Aaron and King - of the House of David). Christ then became both the High Priest and the King (King of kings and Lord of lords), replacing the High priest of the tribe of Levi of the house of Aaron and replacing the King of the tribe of Judah of the house of David. Christ stated "one jot ot tittle shall in no wise pass from the law (original laws as set out by our Father to Moses and known as the 10 commandments and those written in the book of Leviticus). The blood ordances were eliminated however as Christ became the sacrifice for sins for one and all time (Colossians 2, 1 Corinthians 5).

So did Christainity grow out of Judaism? The obvious answer is no it did not. Christ came to set things straight related to the temple and its activities, and took over as the High Priest of the temble (his right). Further he became the sacrifice for one and all time for the sins of mankind, removing the blood scrafices of the temple which were intended to cover the sins of mankind. He further offered the ability to come to our Father to "whom so ever will" and not just the House of Israel (Romans 3,9, and 16).

Judiasm is a continuation of the temple via those who did not accept Christ as the messiah as fortold by our Father to the prophet Isaiah (ch 7), and who allowed priests who were not of Levi to operate and control the temple. Therefore Judiasm is a splintering off of a sect of people from the original temple of the tribes of Israel, and not a basis for the existance of Christianity. Christians know that those who believe in Judiasm are their brothers and sisters and therefore have patience with them, knowing one day that both houses will be put back together under Christ as it is written in our Fathers word.

Answer 4

Yes, Christianity's founders, the First Ecclesia, were all Jews who were trying to understand Jesus from a Jewish perspective and believed him to be the Messiah. This eventually developed into a very different religion with a very different theology, primarily due to the infusion of Gentiles into the religion and the Epistles of Paul which contravened much of Jewish doctrine.

In Answer 3, the definition of Judaism is confused. It does not derive from Judah per se, but from Judean which refers to all of the people of Judea, which, while dominated by Judahites also consisted of Levites and Kohanim and members of the other tribes, so their practices are part of Judaism. Additionally, the Rabbis, who became increasingly important in the post-Temple period already existed while Jesus lived and were the leaders of the Pharisees at that time. Whether or not Jesus is the Messiah as foretold and therefore Christianity is the correct progression from Judaism is something else, but to argue that Judaism did not exist prior to Jesus flies in the face of historical evidence and general Jewish and Christian theology.
