THE JEWISH PEOPLE
AND THEIR SACRED SCRIPTURES
IN THE CHRISTIAN BIBLE
AND THEIR SACRED SCRIPTURES
IN THE CHRISTIAN 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.
