Religious Perspectives on Judaism and Christianity

Big mistake that people make is still thinking that they're the,

the Jews are the

chosen people. They were, rejected their inheritance.

They refused to accept Christ. Because even the Jewish religion was, uh,

ultimately a lead-up to and a partial revelation in relationship

to Christ.

So once he came... This is why Christ was so harsh on them. St.

Thomas Aquinas actually makes the observation, he said that the prophets and

patriarchs of the Jews actually knew that God was triune, and they knew he

was gonna become incarnate. They knew this because we see this in the

Book of

Isaiah. So the Jews actually knew this.

This is why Christ was so harsh on the Jews, that

when he came, "You guys knew

this." The point being is, is that the fact that they apostatized

and rejected,

ultimately, God in the end, which is why they ceased being the chosen

people.

He gave them one generation. So after Christ dies, in the year 70 AD,

the Romans destroy Jerusalem, and that's why none of the Jews

are practicing their

religion, 'cause none of them are offering sacrifice.

And that's why they're so driven to rebuild the temple.
