[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Jews having a Christmas tree is not the same thing as Christians hosting a seder. But thanks for making it all about Christians. [/quote] actually it is. [b]As a Christian I believe in the Passover story. A Jewish person does t actually believe Jesus was Gods son[/b]. [/quote]

The Old Testament is part of Christianity. It’s part of the Christian religious tradition. Similarly, much of the Bible also overlaps with the Quran — it’s part of the Islamic religion. I don’t think many Christians realize that Jesus is a prophet in the Quran. Similarly, many Jews discount the relevance of Jewish prophets in Christianity. The three religions have so much overlap that we are called the people of the book.

Sigh. The New Testament is a new covenant which abrogated the law of the Old Testament.  That's ... kind of the whole point of Christianity?  [/quote]

This is how once upon a time the difference between the Old Testament and the New Testament has been explained to me as a kid..

So.. 
The entire Old testament is basically the [b]10 commandments[/b]... the rest is to explain and illustrate this.
The New Testament is just [b]one commandment[/b]: Though shell love your neighbor like yourself... the rest is to illustrate and explain this.

The New Testament does not abrogate the Old Testament.  Jesus says in Matthew 5:17-20:

17 “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. 18 For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished. 19 Therefore anyone who sets aside one of the least of these commands and teaches others accordingly will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 20 For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven.

As a Christian, I have attended one Passover Seder (It was almost 30 years ago and I can't remember that term specifically, but I believe that's what it was) conducted by a congregation of <b>Messianic Jews - Jews who also believed in Jesus.</b>  It was deeply meaningful to me as it illustrated how connected the Old Testament and the New Testament are.

Messianic "jews" aren't Jews. Real Jews don't believe Jesus was the Messiah. [/quote]
