Question:
Did Jesus intend to create a new religion alongside his parent religion -- Judaism ?

He said he came to fulfill the law so why create a new religion if the Jewish law was to be followed.

If people say Jesus negated the Law by fulfilling it and they no longer need to follow it then the Jewish law is the Antichrist law.

Jesus came to be Jesus. He didn't intend to do anything but teach others how improve their lives.

Many scholar say that what Jesus intended to do was to clean the Jewish religion from the evil doers Jewish extremists and not to create a new religion. If you take a close look at the situation during the times of Jesus, the evil doers were the Saddacees. The Sadducess were the ones controling the temple and allowing the merchants to do their businesses in the temple, and, of course, pocketing the earning from the tithings. They were also the ones that were imposing very strickly the law to the point of being fanatics, that's why they were so angry about Jesus' healings on Saturdays, for instance. The same Sadducees that are the ones that nowadays are opposing the state of Israel because they want a theocratic government, and, of course, a theocratic government the Sadducean's way.

You're making contradictory judgments. Jesus Christ was prophesied by the Jews, but they never viewed Him as a savior because they expected Him to smite the Romans and deliver Israel from all their hardships. They don't see the correlation between earthly liberation and heavenly salvation...they only see the current state of affairs.



Jewish law hasn't been negated by the fulfillment of prophecy from Jesus, as much of the current Christian moral imperatives originate from the Old Testament. Hope that answers your question.

Neither. Judaism wasn't "Judaism" at that component. i think of it had extra to do with the Pharisees applying the Torah as a strict lawbook against everybody else, mutually as they conveniently left themselves out of that judgement. Hhhmmm, that sounds unusually usually occurring, would not it? no person is conscious who wrote the hot attempt, aside from a number of Pauls writings. The Gospels are attributed to 4 adult adult males, yet no person has any information that those 4 adult adult males easily wrote it. The Gospels are not even attributed to 4 apostles.... Mark and Luke weren't apostles... they have been supposedly Pauls disciples. Matthew is written in the third guy or woman, so as that kills the belief the author became an eyewitness. It took only approximately a century formerly those writings even confirmed up on the scene. maximum probable it wasn't any of the apostles, through fact Christian historic previous states that the apostles have been all killed no longer long after Jesus. (This keeps changing relying on the communicate...) the hot attempt did no longer even ensue till ultimately only approximately the 4th century advert... and it became voted on..... that would not sound like inspired Texts to me....

Not at all. He made that quite clear in the Sermon on the Mount when he said, 'Think not that I am come to destroy the law or the prophets: I am no come to destroy but to fulfil'*.



A lot of people use the example of the adulteress.



A woman who was accused of adultery was brought before the Beloved Messiah(A.S.) by a group of corrupt priests who wanted to shame Jesus(A.S.). They reminded him that the punishment for the sin of adultery was to be stoned to death.



Now, either side of the coin was a trap. If Jesus(A.S.) chose to stone her, then he would be a hypocrite due to his claim of grace. But if he chose not to stone her, then he would be a hypocrite due to his statement to 'fulfil the laws'.



But instead, he basically said, 'Okay whomever amongst you is without the same sin, then cast the first stone'.** which, ultimately trapped the priests instead and proved that Jesus(A.S.) WAS with grace AND upheld the law.



Knowledge is power; power is freedom; freedom is peace.



Peace be upon you...

Jesus wanted nothing to do with man made religions.



He wanted people to follow Him not a religion.

I don't think Jesus ever fore saw the mess he would have inadvertly created. He didn't write the NT, so who is to say he intended it?

THIS IS NEW AND IMPROVES AND REPLACES judaism
