Judeo-Christian ?
Posted: Tue Apr 16, 2019 7:32 am
I have read on a few websites, typically either far-right or orthodox Jew, that there is no judeo-christian tradition.
These websites then go on to show that, quite correctly, Judaism and Christianity are NOT the same and are, in many ways, polar opposites.
I agree with that, when it comes to RELIGION.
Problem is that no one talks about "Judeo-Christian religion", we talk about Judeo-Christian tradtion or values which means:
The things that Jews and Christians SHARE in COMMON via the OT:
The Ten commandments for example.
Welcoming strangers
Taking care of the ill, etc.
It seems that those that say judeo-Christain values and traditions do NOT exist and then go one to talk about the religious factors, either disregard what the majority mean when we say Judeo-Christian OR they are purposefully trying to create desent.
