Ok everyone, this is just another correction of something I have said before, though I think I should be able to use hyperbole in a rant to make a point. But anyway I recently said that Chrsitianity was the only true religion, and I mostly do believe that, but want to point out that actual, accurate Christianity is actually Judeo-Christianity. And people have often talked about “Judeo-Christian” values, and the success that happens when people like Jews and Christians work together. But I want to say that just plain Christianity by itself is inherently “Judeo-Christian.” So what some people are talking about is actually “Judeo-Judeo Christian.” It has to do with why the Old Testament is part of the Bible, and totally legit and not lesser. So anyway, there are theological discussions of what all can count as “Judaism” and someone’s personal “old testament” in their life or religion or historical background. It is very interesting and also has to do with systems of mercy and justice. So I just wanted to mention that on my theology blog because I think a lot of Christians and maybe even most of us have not thought of Christianity as being already “Judeo-Christian.” All people say is “hey, Jesus was Jewish,” but that gets old, and one of the reasons it does is because all of reality is relevant to the discussion, not just one guy’s bloodline.
