This is in Q&A so is intended only for Jews!
I have five questions:
1) I've heard of what is often called the "Judaeo-Christian tradition" but is there really such a thing? If so, to what extent? I know Christians talk about this, but what about Jews? - basically, is the notion a Christian one, with nothing to do with Judaism?
Because that's the impression I've got
Also, according to your beliefs/understanding:
2) Did Christianity develop out of Judaism?
3) Or is it a distinct pagan/gentile tradition with no links to Judaism?
4) Or is it somewhat developed out of Judaism and somewhat a pagan/gentile tradition?
5) In the days before Christianity became the official religion of the Roman Empire what was the relationship between the early Christians and the Jews like? I assume the Christians were trying to convert Jews?
