As far as I know, Jesus never rejected his heritage, he only reformed it into love and forgiveness - redemption.

He did that by expanding, not abolishing the Covenant God made with Israel. The Gospels never have the Lord trying to abolish the Mosaic, his probelm was with people folling the letter of the Law and not the Spirit of the Law. The Framer's intent, completely flew over their heads. It was St. Paul who tried to prohibit the expansion of the letter of Mosaic Law to the new gentile converts; don't read into his words anything more than that. The religion of Jesus is Love and Forgiveness. Zeb, you are completely right. Temple Judaism (1st Century) is radically different than Pharasaic Judaism of today; it ads accepted the Love and Forgiveness elements of Christianity. Moose, no, Heaven is heaven, unless you believe in the doctrines of the Gnostic heretic, Basilides. CW, Christ died to redeem the world, not just the Jews.

Judaism had evolved tremendously over the 2,000 years before Jesus, so his coming and his teachings may not have been a radical break, rather the next true step in the evolution of Judaism. Contemporary Judaism is so far from what 1st century Jews practiced that I don't see why they would be covered by the "Jewish covenant" independently of the "Christian covenant." Is Heaven or eternal life is a part of the covenant enunciated in the OT anyway? There is no salvation outside of Christ - Jews are saved by Christ despite their doubts about him.

It is nice to see some people making links between the two religions rather then judging them. As said before on the busted halo, people are too often stuck into the basic theory of catholicism ( which I often call catholic 101) believing that a two line statement should contradict 200 pages of the bible which proves the similitudes between jews and christian. Thank you for increasing my faith in cahotlicism and in its awsome power of tolerance, respect and understanding. Very good and balanced answer.
