Comment on Seriously Jesus, who was doing that for that to be added 😭

I mean, Jesus was Jewish and he wouldn’t have called his followers Christians because he hadn’t died on a cross yet. He would have called them his Jewish brothers and his followers would have done the same for decades afterwards. He was the leader of a sect of Judaism.

I think what he’s referring to is much of the Jewish traditions (by other Christian denominations) are deemed unnecessary because Jesus fulfilled the prophecies and therefore “preparation” for his coming is no longer required.
It’s a little hard to explain but that’s why Christians don’t do any of the dietary restrictions in the old testament.

I understand what he’s saying, he’s saying that the followers believe something different.
I’m saying none of that matters. It’s like being Catholic versus Lutheran, but Jewish vs. other Jewish that thinks Jesus was the Messiah. Still Jewish for at least decades, probably centuries.
They believed that while he was still alive. We know this because he and his disciples celebrated Passover at the last supper.
