The Historical Divide Between Judaism and Christianity
For millions of people, there is a presumed divide between Judaism and Christianity. Sure, they are both monotheistic and trace their origins back to Abraham, but many assume these groups have little else in common. There has also been a significant amount of hostility between the adherents of these two religions, from the ugly history of “Christian” antisemitism to the relatively minor angst many Jews express in the face of Christian evangelism (aka “proselytizing”). These realities spark a provocative question:
Are Christians worshiping the “Messiah” promised to the Jewish people?

The Evolution of Judaism: From Jesus’ Time to Today
Let us continue to explore the world of Judaism and its evolution throughout history. For the uninitiated Gentile Christian, it’s not uncommon to assume an equivalence between Yeshua Jesus’ faith and practice and that of contemporary Jewish people, but is that accurate?

“Son of Man” and “Son of God” are two titles often used in the New Testament to refer to Jesus. Though these terms are well-known, they are not well-understood. In this article, let’s look at these terms to appreciate better how they highlight critical aspects of Yeshua’s identity.
