THE JEWISH PEOPLE
AND THEIR SACRED SCRIPTURES
IN THE CHRISTIAN BIBLE 

Image result for bible
Life has its own meaning and beauty nevertheless it is not enough to accommodate then all in one glance. Man’s life is full of mystery and tragedy. Tragedy in the sense that man is always encounter a different dilemma and uncertainties.  Mystery in the sense that man by nature is tangible and intangible. 
According to one of the famous philosopher in the name of Socrates, that un examined life is not worth living in relation to my vocation towards priestly life, I could say that life was indeed an entangled situation in the sense we really need to examined an even to the point of re-examining our self as to what is really good we can offer to our life.
In the discussion of Rev. Fr. Diola with regards to the influence of the Jewish culture to the Christianity I could say that there is a big impact, since the Jewish practices had given an emphases to the religious aspect of the Christian, the concrete idea of this is what we call the judeo Christian belief and practices.
As I try to reflect upon on the idea of the judeo Christian belief I could say that the best and the concrete example of this is the story of the Haggadah, for if we try to scrutinize it there are many things that we can consider as the practice also of the Roman Catholic Christian.
Furthermore the Christian bible can attest also that there is some similarity of the teachings of the practices of the Jews. No doubt that Christ once was said that he came not to abolish the Old Testament teachings but he clearly said that he came to fulfil what was written in the Old Testament.
Therefore Christ is the fulfilment of what was written in the Old Testament, and in for those reason Christian and Jewish practices is not far from the heart of the teachings of Christ himself. Even if there are many conflict in the history between Christian and Jews, most especially during the world war. But I think this not big issue to consider for that is just the result of the human concupiscence.
