Christian and Judaism are very popular religions.  They have several things in

common, once you deep and  really compare the two. but they also have a lot

differences. There are very general things that this two religions have in common

and difference, but also very specific things. In my opinion, both religions are

inspired in God.  One of the many similarities of Christian and Judaism

are that they only believe in one God or monotheistic.  Both religions guarantee

 life after death.  Also these two religions both have sacred or a holy book

 that people live by.  These books contains their rules and morals.  There

 are commandants that the followers obey among one of those rules for both

religions. Christianity has a close relationship with Judaism, but theologically

and historically.  There are divided for many reasons.  First, Jesus and the

twelve disciples the authors of  the New testament and the members of the

earliest christian church were all Jews, and Jesus family followed Jesus

customs and Jesus frequently talk about  the Hebrews  Bible.

 Jesus followed believed him to the Messiah. I think Jewish origins

was no longer before Christianity. However, these two worlds

religions have a number of significant differences as well.

Many things was considered figures of their religions:  Hebrews

religions subordinate to the God of Israel, Hebrews believe That

God created heaven and earth, they believe the first of the patriarchs was

Abraham. Abraham and his followers and descendants.  God made the

 solemn promise of the convent. An agreement between God and his people

 which is referred to many times in the first five books of the Bible. When they

talk about prophets they believe human beings were responsible for their

own actions and for doing whatever. So that, Hebrews say the Israelites

 prophets spoke for God. They were not prophetic only they were voices of

conscience. These is not realistic according to what i have been taught.

Although,  the history say that Christians have criticized Jews for rejecting Jesus

 as their messiah, and Jews have criticized Christian's for corrupting the concept

of one god and following a false messiah.  In addition, my beliefs are closer to the

 Christians and the New testament reports that Jews were the first to persecute

Christians.  They have theological disagreements for the Christians beliefs, but

they are being made towards greater understanding and respect between

The schism of the church forges the way for Byzantium in the East.


The history of Byzantium is that of constamtinople "The Queen City"and emperators Constantine.(272-337 ce}


emerged from cibil war to found New Rome, named Constantinople, on the site of Byzantium, a colony Miletus

the emperator Constantine established the trading city of bizantium as his new Eastern capital.  


Rome became a favorite target for invading barbarian hordes from the north. Rome was sacked for the first time


in eight hundred years, another grup, the vandals, sacked the city again in 455.

the east however life flourished in the capital of Constantinople.

There, a new and influencial christian civilization took root, usually known as Bizantium Christian. Bizantin

continued for hundred of years.  Bizantine face is shown to have large eyes a long nose, and a tiny mouth. The

body is characteristically slender and weighless. 

Constantinople was also a place of elegance and splendor, with one with one of the most magnificent religious


building, ever constructed, the church of the holly wisdom or Hagia sophia, built by Justinian and Theodora

after the revolt in 532.

Early Christianity

The arts nature and transmit the beliefs of the christian faith.
Early Christian style of art.  Christian recognized that art could help illustrate followers.  Art become an importabt instrument of theology.
When Christianism was made an official state religion, the need for churches arose.  Derived from the Roman basilica and was establishde by the fourth century.  Old St. Peter which destroyed in the fifteenth century.
Just a Jews believe they are God's chosen people and Musilms their holy book, the quran is the word of God.  Christians believe Jesus is God  and savior, they will share eternal life with him in heaven.
One element of their faith is the belief that jesus rose from the dead after being crucified by the Romans.
Jesus was born in Judea a land under the political control of the Romans during the reing of the emperator Augustus.
The Public ministry of Jesus began when he was thirty years old, with the performance of his first miracle, the changing of water into wine, at the marriage feast of Cana.


Jesus Teaching can be reduced to two essentials:  to love God above all, and to love others as one loves oneself.

Judaism


Beliefs  of God


Judaism:  Is the Hebraic Faith. This show the history and tradition with the Bible. 


The founded of this tradition called  "Children of Israel" the Israelites, or Hebrews became known  as Jews

name derived of Jerusalem known as Judea.  Hebrews tradition was spiritual mystical and founded

 on faith.  The Jews produced a "religion of the book" what Christian regard as the Old Testament of  the

 bible providing a spiritual and moral foundation.  The nomadic Hebrew people were forced out of the

Mesopotamian about 2000 BCE by the warlike between Akkadians and Ascendancy of the Babylonians.

They setted in Cannan, located in Jordan River and Mediterranean Coast.  Cannan become their homeland

and was the Hebrews believed, promise to them by their God, "Monotheistic" believe in only one God



Hebrews subject to the power of their God, Moreover,  the considered the figures of other religions

 subordinate to the God of Israel. The history and religion of the Hebrews are one and the same and are

 recorded in the Bible, their  Gods power was manifest in particular events. First, was the creation then

Hebrews believe that God created heaven and earth. Genesis related Adan and Eve disobey God's words

in the Garden of Eden and eat the forbidden fruit. So,their were exposed and explain why the Human

 King no longer lives in the original  paradise.  After exile that continues in the wandering of the patriarchs.

The first of the patriarchs was Abraham. When god called Abraham out of the land Cannan,

 solemn promise of the Covenant.  God renews the covenant originally made with Abraham this Covenant
