| Publisher Description: "Christianity" was originally a faith movement within Judaism, wherein a group of Jewish disciples followed and lived by the teachings of the Rabbi Jesus (Yeshuah). Continuing in the spirituality of Moses, Jesus taught adherents how to embrace divine empowerment from God by entry into the kingdom. The Hebraic Faith Movement that began with Abraham reached its apex about 50 years after the death of Jesus. By the 4th century A.D., Christianity had completed its transition from what originated as an Eastern minded Hebraic faith tradition into a Western thinking, Aristotelian, Gentile religious movement. Like a tree severed from its root, the latter group was no longer dominated by its original Jewish constituency. Christians who were filled with antipathy for the Jews, redefined a new religious identity by imposing a legalistic reductionistic interpretational method upon the Koine Greek Scriptures to derive doctrinal formulations, religious creeds and a new order of sacramental worship; a system of praxis far removed from the concerns of their disavowed ancient ancestors of faith. With their separation from the Hebraic Tradition and anathematization of the Hebrew and Aramaic Scriptures, Christendom lost the ability to understand ancient biblical concepts including the term "gospel." |
