Your responses to the questions accurately reflect key concepts related to Christianity and its distinctions from Judaism. Here’s a summary of your answers with slight clarifications where necessary:
Question 1:
The two correct answers are:
- Love your neighbor as yourself.
- Love God with all your heart and soul.
(These commandments summarize core ethical teachings in both Christianity and Judaism.)
Question 2:
Following the death and resurrection of Jesus, the apostle Paul played a pivotal role in spreading his teachings. He traveled throughout much of the Roman Empire and attracted many new followers to Jesus's message. As more Gentiles adopted the idea of Jesus as the Messiah, Christianity began to emerge as a distinct religion from Judaism.
Question 3:
Christians regard the Christian Bible as their holy book, which comprises the Old Testament and the New Testament. The Old Testament is essentially the Hebrew Bible. The New Testament includes the Gospels, which are accounts of Jesus’s life and teachings written by his disciples, as well as the Epistles—letters addressing various matters of faith. The final book of the New Testament is the Book of Revelation.
Question 4:
The fundamental difference between Christianity and Judaism is that Christians believe in the Holy Trinity (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit), while Jews adhere to the concept of God as one singular being.
These responses provide a solid foundation of understanding relating to the teachings and beliefs inherent in Christianity and its relationship with Judaism.
