Hi everyone. I would like to know that difference anyone can help. With thanks.

============= Sehemu ya Majibu =======

Nimeonelea kuandika kidogo kuhusu judah,then christ alafu tutapata tofauti zake. Hii kuepuka maswali yasiyo kuwa ya lazima. Maana haimake sense kuanza na diferance wakati hata topic huijui.

Ujudaism sio dini peke yake bali pia,primarily living in spiritual order
f the jewish people, living in the jews of past and with the jews of the presnt. Its not a doctrine ,an idea,afaith, but the covenant between the God and the people.

Abraham joshua heschel, anasema kwamba ujudaism ni covenant btn the God and the people.
Kwaio kwa haraka unaona kwamba ujudaism upo pale ili kushikilia au kufuata misingi ya makubaliano kati yao na Mungu waliyohaidiwa miaka iyoo na Mungu wao.

Kwaio ujudaism unaweza sema ni kama uconservative ambao umeshikiliwa toka enzi za mababu wa ki israel.
Anasema"covenant is an agreement establihed long ago btn God and ancient israels ,first through Abraham

Kutokana na covenant amabayo jews waliingia na Mungu wao walilazimika kutekeleza majukumu fulan flan mazito ilikukamilisha mkataba wao na Mungu.

Na covenant hiyo iliweza kuwatambulisha wa jews kama 'God's Chosen peole' as the stutas that carries serious responsibilities. From that time the Jewish challenged to live as benefits 'holy nation'.

So muda ulivoenda juda walihimiza zaid katika identity yao. Napia unaweza kuta sio kila Judaism anaamini katika dini ya ujadaism,lakin yy yupo kwenye ujuda as a way kupata identity yao. Hapa sasa unakuja kupata jews mbili ambzo ni,
1.Religious (observant) Jews.
2. Cultural (nonobservant) Jews.

Origin ya jews.
Jews was the descendats of the ancient israels who also known as Hebrews, and around the time of exile and following they become know as jews ,and their religion become known as Judaism becoz their country was Judah.
History of Judah has the great significance to them due to basic religious premise. God believed to be providential ,or directly in history of Jews. God knows what is hapening n provides for the chosen people,the history of jews is records of God will as manifested in the events of the world.

UPDATES
======================================
Kwakuwa nimeona baadhi ya post zikitoa maelezo kidogo kuhusu central teaching za judaism,ngoja niende sehemu ingine.

Kuzaliwa kwa messiah kilikuwa na kitu ambacho jews waliahidiwa na Mungu wao toka zamani.
Na aluzaliwa akiwa m jews na alifanya mambo yote yalikuwa yakifanyika na ma jews wnzake.
Lakin katika miak ya 63AD jews homeland ilivamiwa na warumi,na wakaweka gavana wao amabaye alikuwa akiratibu shughuli zote na kuziripoti Roma.
Lakin ilipofika miaka ya 26 to 36AD jimbo hili alipewa Pontio pilato alitawale kwa maslahi ya Roma,na ndo kipindi ambacho wayahudi waliweza pata joto ya jiwe. Na kupitia shuruti hizi wayahudi walieza pata makundi kama ma nne ivi.

1. Saducees, hawa walikuwa na kazi ya ku kontrol ma temple n responded to Roma rule conservatively.

2. Zealots, hawa waliamini kwamba kuepukana na shida au utumwa wanalazimika kutumia nguvu kujikomboa(wazee wa mitutu)

3. Essenes, hawa walionelea kuepukana na shuruti waliyokuwa wanapata utumwan walistahili kukimbia.

4. Phraises, they responded with moderation, obeying the tradition commandments of judaism and developing the oral torat.

Lakini katika hayo yote yesu hakuweza ku fit au kuwa follower wake. Maan kwa undani hasa ukiangalia yalikuwa na u conservative kama walivyookuwa waanamini wayahudi katika mafunzo yao. Na kimsingi yesu hakuwa conservative kama ilivo kwa ma jews kwa nature yao.

Christianity n Judaism. Sio rahis kuuelewa ukiristo bila kujua ujudaism maana folowa wa wakristo ndimo alipozaliwa na kukuli.

BUT
UKIRISTO SIO UJUDAISM, NA UJUDAISM SIO UKIRISTO.

Kwann? endelea kusoma

Lakini ujue kwamba kuzaliwa kwa jesus ilikuwa n ahadi ya Mungu wao kwamba nitaleta mtu wakuwatetea katika shida zenu na kuwakomboa.

Na kweli muda ukawadia na Messiah alizaliwa na wote walifurahi na kuona kwamba Mungu ametekeleza makubaliano yao, japo unaeza kuta kuna walio dought maana term Messiah kwao halikuwa na kawaida so walitaraji atakayekuwa atakuwa si wakawaida.

Lakin bwana yesu alikuwa na kuendelea kuonesha mambo ambayo walianza kuona ni kweli huyu ni messiah kabisa. Na akaweza kupata folower weeengi kabisa katika huduma zake za kitumishi.

Lakini wayahudi waliweza pata shock baada ya kuona messiah anauwawa kiurahisi tena na binadam,lakin wakiwa bado wanashangaa hayo huyo waliezan ni mtu rahis alifufuka na kupaa mbinguni. Na apo ndipo folower wa Yesu wakaanza na kuendelea mpaka kesho.

Kwa mazingira hayo unaweza ona kwamba uyahidi ni zaid ya dini, ni kama utamaduni wa maisha ya wayahudi toka enzi hizoooo.

Na pia kutokana na maelezo niliyotoa apo kulipelekea baadhi ya wayahudi. Kubaki na judaism kama dini na utamaduni na wengine kuchkulia kama utamaduni tu, na kuhusu dini wakaendelea na wokovo ulioletwa kwao na Jesus.

Utofauti wa Judaism na Ukiristo.

Kimsingi utofauti wa uyahudi kama utaangalia kwa mrengo wa dini ni u conservative(judaism) na uwanamapokeo(ukiristo)

Na kama utadili na utamaduni basi utaona ujudaism ni kama center point ya utamaduni wa m jews yoyoye yule, lakini kwa ukiristo ni kama watu waliamua kuamini katika yesu na kuona ni mwokozi na mtetezi wa maisha yao. Na hii ndo iliyowpa hata wakristo wa tandale au popote pale dunian fursa ya kupata wokovu.

The all-important difference between Christianity and Judaism is the Person of Jesus Christ. Christianity teaches that Jesus Christ is the fulfillment of the Old Testament prophecies of a coming Messiah / Savior (Isaiah 7:14; 9:6-7; Micah 5:2). Judaism often recognizes Jesus as a good teacher, and perhaps even a prophet of God. Judaism does not believe that Jesus was the Messiah. Taking it a step further, Christianity teaches that Jesus was God in the flesh (John 1:1,14; Hebrews 1:8). Christianity teaches that God became a human being in the Person of Jesus Christ so He could lay down His life to pay the price for our sins (Romans 5:8; 2 Corinthians 5:21). Judaism strongly denies that Jesus was God or that such a sacrifice was necessary.

Jesus Christ is the all-important distinction between Christianity and Judaism. The Person and work of Jesus Christ is the one primary issue that Christianity and Judaism cannot agree upon. In Matthew 15:24, Jesus declared, "I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel." The religious leaders of Israel in Jesus' time asked Him, "Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed One?" Jesus replied, 'I am,' ... And you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of heaven" (Mark 14:61-62). But they didn't believe His words or accept Him as the Messiah.

Jesus Christ is the fulfillment of the Hebrew prophecies of a coming Messiah. Psalm 22:14-18 describes an event undeniably similar to Jesus' crucifixion, "I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint. My heart has turned to wax; it has melted away within me. My strength is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth; you lay me in the dust of death. Dogs have surrounded me; a band of evil men has encircled me, they have pierced my hands and my feet. I can count all my bones; people stare and gloat over me. They divide my garments among them and cast lots for my clothing." Clearly this messianic prophecy can be none other than Jesus Christ whose crucifixion fulfilled each of these details (Luke 23; John 19).

There is no more accurate description of Jesus than Isaiah 53:3-6, "He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows, and familiar with suffering. Like one from whom men hide their faces he was despised, and we esteemed him not. Surely he took up our infirmities and carried our sorrows, yet we considered him stricken by God, smitten by him, and afflicted. But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed. We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all."

The Apostle Paul, a Jew and a strict adherent of Judaism, encountered Jesus Christ in a vision (Acts 9:1-9) and proceeded to become the greatest witness for Christ and the author of almost half of the New Testament. Paul understood the difference between Christianity and Judaism more than anyone else. What was Paul's message? "I am not ashamed of the gospel (of Jesus Christ), because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile" (Romans 1:16).
 
Br Nathanael: Is Judaism based
on the Old Testament Scriptures?
Michael Hoffman: No. By the
time of Christ, Judaism was
based on the “Oral Law.” The
New Testament speaks of this as
the “traditions of the elders.”
Jesus Christ denounced and
condemned the “traditions of the
elders” in the Gospel of John
Chapter 5 and in the Gospel of
Mark Chapter 7.
After the Jewish leadership
crucified Jesus Christ, and their
subsequent killings and
persecution of Christians
throughout the Roman world,
the rabbis committed to writing
the “traditions of the elders”
which formed the first part of
the Talmud called the Mishnah.
This occurred in Babylon toward
the end of the second century
A.D. All subsequent books of the
Talmud were composed in
Babylon from the third century
until the end of the sixth century
A.D.
Br Nathanael: Is then Judaism
based on the Talmud and not on
the Bible?
Michael Hoffman: The
hermeneutic system of Judaism
is not based on the Bible but on
the Talmud. This must be
understood when dealing with
the rabbis and their submissive
flock. Judaism, though much in
vogue with Evangelicals and
Roman Catholics, is totally alien to
the only Biblical religion on earth
today, Christianity.
Br Nathanael: You said above
that Jesus Christ denounced the
traditions of the elders? How so?
Michael Hoffman: The rabbis
teach that the revelation granted
to Moses had been delivered in
two forms, a smaller revelation in
writing, and the larger one kept
oral.
The rabbis claim that the so-
called “oral revelation” had been
transmitted by the leaders of
each generation to their
successors—by Moses to Joshua;
and then to the elders; to the
prophets; to the men of the
Sanhedrin; to the leaders of the
Pharisees; and finally to the
earliest rabbis who saw
themselves as heirs of the
Pharisees.
This supposed transmission of
the Oral Law, the “tradition of the
elders,” was challenged by Jesus
who termed it “commandments
of men which nullify the Word of
God.”
Thus Jesus made the tale of the
transmission a fraud. It is a lie
concocted in hell to claim that
Moses issued two sets of law,
one written and public - the
other oral and secret. In the
entire Bible there is nothing to
support this imposture.
Br Nathanael: So the oral
tradition of the Jews is not
consonant with the Old
Testament?
Michael Hoffman: Not at all. The
spurious claim of an oral
“tradition of the elders”
bequeathed by God to Moses is
anti-Biblical, just as Jesus
asserted.
Christ very simply illuminated the
fact that if the Pharisaic tradition
had indeed been from Moses,
then they would have become
Christians. For Christ rebuked
them saying, “Had ye believed
Moses, ye would have believed
Me, for he wrote of Me. But if ye
believe not his writings, how
shall ye believe My words?”
Here Jesus annihilated in one
stroke the basis for the religion
of Judaism and its conceit of an
oral tradition given to it by
Moses. For had such a tradition
existed it would have testified of
Jesus the Messiah. Instead, Christ
tells them point blank that they
do not follow Moses!
Br Nathanael: When speaking of
the centrality of the Talmud in
Judaism, you refer to the “rabbis
and their submissive flock.” How
then does the Jewish secularist
figure into this submissive flock?
Michael Hoffman: All of those
within the polity of Judaism, even
the Jewish secularist, give tacit
allegiance to the rabbis. How
often have we heard from any of
them when challenged with the
Messiahship of Jesus, this
response: But the rabbis do not
believe in Jesus!
Well of course they do not
believe! How could they? For as
Jesus stated in his reproof to the
Pharisees, their tradition is a
denial of what Moses wrote
about the coming of the Messiah
in the Person of Jesus Christ.
Moreover, as regards the Jewish
secularist, he exhibits the same
chauvinism and racism as the
Talmudists.
Br Nathanael: With the Talmud
being the basis of Judaism, how
then does one bring the Gospel
message to the rabbis and their
followers?
Michael Hoffman: When
presenting Old Testament proofs
of the Messiahship of Jesus to
the rabbis and their followers -
one must penetrate the iron-clad
grid of the Talmudic mind-set
which according to Christ’s
assertion makes the Scriptures of
none effect.
From the outset, the Christian
must realize that the rabbis and
their followers do not know their
own Scriptures, and for that
matter, do not care to know
them. For they view the Talmud
as superceding the Scriptures.
Much patience is required when
bringing the Gospel message to
them, and perhaps at times, stern
reproofs are necessary.
Br Nathanael: What do you
mean by saying that the Jewish
secularist exhibits the same
chauvinism and racism as
believers in the Talmud?
Michael Hoffman: The main
tenet of Judaism is Jewish self-
worship. Judaism has as its
“god,” not the God of Abraham,
Isaac, and Jacob, but the worship
of the Jewish people.
Jewish self-worship is at the core
of the Talmud. The secularist
amongst them shares in this self-
worship. For the Talmud teaches
that the Gentile is a lower form of
humanity. They all believe that
they have this special-ness about
them, believing the myth that
they, not the Christians, are the
“chosen people.”
Coupled with the false notion
that they are the “chosen
people” - regardless of their
unethical conduct, their gross
distortions of the God of the
Bible, their unbelief, their hatred
of Biblical Christian culture,
(which has afforded them asylum
in Christian nations), and their
persistent rejection of Jesus the
Messiah - the Talmud teaches
that those within Judaism are of
a higher form of humanity than
others. For they pray both in the
synagogue and in their homes, “I
thank Thee O God that Thou has
not made me a Gentile.”
Br Nathanael: You say that the
Talmud has made the Scriptures
of none effect. How so?
Michael A. Hoffman: In the
Gospel of Mark Chapter 7, Jesus
rebuked the Pharisees saying,
“You make the Word of God of
none effect by your tradition that
you have handed down.” There
is little in the Talmud which
refers to Old Testament
Scriptures - but rather, teachings
that are contrary to the
Scriptures.
The Talmud teaches that a Jew
may *kill, **steal, and ***lie to
non-Jews with impunity -yet all
of these actions are in violation
of the 6th, 7th, and 9th
commandments of Moses. Here is
but one example of the Oral Law
making the Word of God “of
none effect.” [*Tractates
Sanhedrin 58b; **Baba Mezia
24a; **Sanhedrin 57a; ***Baba
Kama 113a]
There is also the Talmudic
nullification of the sin of King
David, by which sin, Christians
have learned to shun the sins of
adultery and hostility, reciting the
penitent words of King David in
Psalm 51. But the religion of
Judaism will have none of this!
For the Talmud states:
“whosoever says King David
sinned is mistaken.”
According to the Talmud the
practice in those days for men
going to war was to give their
wives conditional divorces. The
Talmud states that Bathsheba
was no longer married and
hence decrees that King David
did not sin.
What the rabbis are actually
saying is that it is God who is
mistaken–yet the Word of God
clearly declares that David sinned
by killing Uriah the Hittite and
committing adultery with his
wife: “Now therefore the sword
shall never depart from thine
house because thou hast
despised Me and hast taken the
wife of Uriah the Hittite to be thy
wife.” (II Samuel 12)
Br Nathanael: Is it true that the
Talmud blasphemes Jesus Christ
and the Virgin Mary?
Michael Hoffman: The Talmud
indeed blasphemes Jesus Christ
and the Virgin Mary. Tractate
Sanhedrin 106a says that Jesus’
mother was a harlot: “She who
was a descendant of princes and
governors played the harlot with
carpenters.” Also in Tractate
Shabbath 104b of the Talmud, it
is stated: “Miriam the hairdresser
had sex with many men.”
As regard the Talmud’s treatment
of Jesus Christ, Tractates
Sanhedrin 107b and Sotah 47a
say: “Jesus was sexually immoral,
worshipped statues of stone and
brick, was cut off from the
Jewish people for his
wickedness, and refused to
repent.” And even a more vile
blasphemy is written in Tractate
Gitten 57: “Jesus is in hell, being
boiled in hot excrement.”
Br Nathanael: What attitude
then should Christians take
towards Judaism?
Michael Hoffman: Christians
must understand that the
religion of Judaism is anti-
Biblical. The true religion of the
God of Israel is Christianity not
Judaism. Judaism is simply a
perversion of God’s original
revelation to the Hebrew nation–
it is the very religion of
nullification of the Old Testament.
Now what fellowship has light
with darkness? What fellowship
has Christ with Belial? What
fellowship has the true worship
of God with idols and “Judaism’s
strange gods?” None!
 
inaitwa babylonia talmud kwasababu kabla ya hapo wayahudi waliabudu dini yao kwa kutumia simulizi yani oral na si maandiko.baadae walipovamiwa na mtawala wa babel na kwenda uhamishoni babel ndo wakaamua kuyaweka kimaandishi na kikaitwa babelyon talmud na ndicho kitabu wanakifuata.

Soma hichi kipande
Watu wa Kitabu Mayahudi na Wakristo wakiitwa na Mtume s.a.w. Ahlul Kitab (Watu wa Kitabu), yaani Watu wa Biblia. Biblia maana yake Kitabu. Ndani ya Biblia zimo Taurat, Zaburi na Injili na vitabu vingine wanavyo viona vitakatifu Mayahudi na Wakristo. Jina hili Ahlul Kitab ni kuwatenganisha na Makafiri washirikina, mapagani, waabuduo masanamu na mizimu, wasio kuwa na Kitabu kitakatifu.
