No. Christianity (33 AD) is older than Rabbinical Judaism (developed after 70 AD). Christianity is the continuation of the faith of the Old Testament Hebrew people.

HAHAHAHAHA thank you for that laugh.

Good one!!!!

I'll admit that the last sentence is my opinion. But the previous sentence is a historical fact taught in any Religious Studies 101 class in any university.

Tell me you went to a hyper Christian college that makes up lessons to fit its narrative without telling me you went to a hyper Christian college that makes up lessons to fit its narrative.

Christianity being older than Judaism is literally impossible. You're really off your rocker with this one.

No, definitely have a secular education. Maybe that's how I know this.

Dude. Just stop.

I don't need you to tell me when the destruction of the Second Temple occurred, thanks.

So basically just wanted to confirm that you're just going to ignore Temple Judaism like it never existed, and make the claim that Christianity is older than Judaism? Cool.

You're conflating two subjects and you're ridiculous.

I never said Christianity is older than "Judaism". I said Christianity is older than "Rabbinical Judaism," which is just true. Rabbinic Judaism does not have any kind of exclusive claim to previous traditions, as much as it might like to. Rabbinic Judaism is radically, radically different from Second Temple and prior expressions of Judaism.

There was a simple Christian prayer before the meal, the general focus was on God being merciful. It was not called “celebrating Passover” per se, it was just a recognition of a special event.

My parents’ Lutheran church hosted a Seder for congregants, complete with Seder plates and Haggadot. I think that was very disrespectful, even though that’s the opposite of what they intended. Passover isn’t a party theme, like casino night.

My Episcopal church growing up hosted a Seder every year with all of the appropriate food and prayers. I appreciated learning about it.

Rabbinic Judaism is not radically, radically different than Temple Judaism. Obviously there were changes made in practice, but no core beliefs were changed.

Also, what is your point? Because I don't care about the "split," it has nothing to do with Jesus being in the Exodus Passover story. So why comment?

Again, missed the point entirely on this post.

And the gospels cannot even agree on when Jesus was crucified. So your graphic is doubly ineffective here.

Good now maybe everyone will also stop putting up mini Christmas trees and saying it’s just their secular Christmas celebration and that it’s not offensive.

From earliest days, Christians (at first all ethnically Jewish) understood the Passover and subsequent Exodus and freedom from bondage to be typological of Christ's sacrifice for our freedom. That's why. You presuppose that Christians are borrowing the Exodus from Judaism. My point is that we see it as original to our faith tradition (which continues back to eternity past), typological, prophetic, and fulfilled in Christ.

No.

You have Easter to celebrate your proclaimed Messiah.

Leave Passover and Jewish traditions out of your home.

PP above and I agree 100% with you on this!!! I am not saying celebrate Passover. I am saying Passover is fulfilled in Holy Week and Easter, so Christians should not celebrate the prophecy, they should celebrate the fulfillment.

I'm a Christian. Last night I went to a seder hosted by a very close Jewish friend. That's the only situation in which, IMO, it's appropriate for a Christian to celebrate Passover.

May God finally guide the Jewish people to a true peace and to doing the good their book promises.

Jesus is not part of Passover.

Christians need to stop co-opting Passover and claiming Jesus is part of the Exodus story.

I can't believe I'm now seeing some Christians wearing a kippah now (totally unacceptable and inappropriate!!), along with having a Haggadah and matzah covers.

Seriously??

I've read some ridiculous "justifications" for Christians celebrating and it is just unbelievable to me, although clearly it is..

Come on, y'all.. it's disappointing to say the least.

How does this affect you personally?

What would that reason be? not the PP you're responding to.
