Parting of the Ways

Overview

Three models:

(1) The Ways that Always Parted.

Christianity and Judaism are two different covenants, based on two separated revelations.

From the Christian point of view, the "new" revelation is the "true" revelation that superseded the "old" revelation--the Christians are those who were enlightened while the Jews are "blind".

From the Jewish point of view, the "old" revelation is the only true revelation--the Jews are those who have remained faithful to the old religion and the Christians those who were led astray.

(2) The Parting of the Ways.

Christianity was born from Judaism and gradually parted, until it ceased to be Jewish and became a separate religion.

The relation between Jews and Christians is a father-son relation. The older brother (Judaism) has remained in the father's house while the younger brother left the house, either in obedience of God's will (according to the Christian point of view), or in disobedience of God's will (according to the Jewish point of view).

(3) The Ways that Never Parted.

Christianity and Rabbinic Judaism parted from each other, but never parted form their common roots. Christianity and Judaism are two parallel (and equally legitimate) developments of the ancient religion of Israel. Bothe of them are equally "new" and "old" because both of them preserved "old" elements of ancient Judaism and introduce "new" elements of innovation.
