To: Colofornian; All
Which Judaism? The awe-inspiring Judaism that were used of God to give us and preserve for us the Old Testament? Or, the "give us Barabbas" Judaism that killed Jesus Christ and the prophets before him?

In short, both. The Sadducees and the Pharasees both rejected the divine claims of the god-man.

Deuteronomy 13 1If there arise among you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and giveth thee a sign or a wonder,

2And the sign or the wonder come to pass, whereof he spake unto thee, saying, Let us go after other gods, which thou hast not known, and let us serve them;

3Thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams: for the LORD your God proveth you, to know whether ye love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul.

4Ye shall walk after the LORD your God, and fear him, and keep his commandments, and obey his voice, and ye shall serve him, and cleave unto him.

So, Christianity teaches the worship of Jesus the god-man. Anything that teaches a "turning away" or "adding" of worship away from G-d ONLY, the G-d of Deut 4:15 is not to be done.

12 Then the LORD spoke to you out of the fire. You heard the sound of words but saw no form; there was only a voice. 13 He declared to you his covenant, the Ten Commandments, which he commanded you to follow and then wrote them on two stone tablets. 14 And the LORD directed me at that time to teach you the decrees and laws you are to follow in the land that you are crossing the Jordan to possess.

15 You saw no form of any kind the day the LORD spoke to you at Horeb out of the fire. Therefore watch yourselves very carefully, 16 so that you do not become corrupt and make for yourselves an idol, an image of any shape, whether formed like a man or a woman,

So what do Christians do? The make G-d take the image of a man. When G-d clearly says, worship NO PHYSICAL THING. Either formed on earth or in heaven. You saw NO FORM OF ANY KIND. NO FORM OF ANY KIND

Jesus is a form. Therefore, do NOT worship him. Did our forefathers no of a god-man? No. G-d says in Deut 18, do not worship anything that was not known to your fathers. Therefore G-d only. No physical created god-man from Nazareth.
