Judaism dates back to the covenant between God and Abraham around 1800 BC. Christianity arose from Judaism after the birth, crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Judaists do not believe that Christ was the Messiah, which allowed the division of Judaism. Even if their beginnings overlap, today the Christian and Judean communities do not know each other. This essay will examine misunderstandings and discuss whether the study of Judaism will contribute to the elimination of misunderstanding. The essay will also examine Christian perceptions of the nation-state of Israel. Misunderstanding Between Christianity and Judaism Christians view Judaism as one religion when in fact there are several sects or groups within Judaism. Christians can view Judaism as following the Law of the Ten Commandments. when in fact, in the Torah there are 613 laws concerning the life of the Jewish faith (www.diffen.com). These laws provide guidance for the Jewish person to live out their faith in the world around them. On the other hand, a Christian lives his faith under the guidance of the Holy Spirit and focuses on his personal relationship with Christ. While the Christian is expected to do good things based on obedience, his salvation comes through his faith and personal relationship with Christ. Jews may misunderstand what the Christian's behavior is about. The Jews were exiled from their country by the Persians, Babylonians, Romans and Crusaders. Morally, Jews deserve a homeland and Christians should support these efforts. Biblically, Israel is the promised land that God set aside for his people. “We believe that the immersion of a Jewish state in the land promised by God to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob was ordained by God (Robertson, nd). In Deuteronomy, God shows Moses the land and says, “This is the land that I swore to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob (Deuteronomy 34:4). This promise is in the Christians Bible and they should support the reintegration of this land to the Jewish people as God promised. Religions and religious groups misunderstand each other because they view each other's religion through their own perceptions. By studying other religions, better communication and religious discussions will continue. When it comes to Judaism and Christianity, Christians should study Judaism to better understand their Bible and history. In doing so, Christians would also begin to support the restoration of the land promised to the Jews.
