Atheistically
Jesus was born a Jew, but he was a rebel
have any links for that????
because we know he was a teacher of judaism
He criticized Jewish leaders and Jewish customs
not all
he made it quite clear not to discount the old covenant
he started a movement away from mainstream judaism, but still retained most of the culture before he was killed
He was prosecuted and killed by Jews
wrong he was prosecuted and killed by romans
Why Christians hold onto the OT is hard to understand
only for you
since the God of the OT seems to be entirely different from the God Jesus describes
this is correct because the god of the bible evolves continually as different authors of different times write about their deity, the deity changes to match their current needs. You also had different editing of older books of the bible to match their changing needs when they needed to redefine said deity
hebrews were polytheistic in the early days up until second isaiah around 606BC when they made the switch to monotheism. You had elohim to start with and in times of war yahwey was worshipped. You had asherah and baal and more.
however christians were no different, with jesus on the scene and as they proclaimed he was a deity they had to define how divine he was. They could not have a seprerate deity, that would open up a big can of worms that reverted them back to polytheism. The trinity was born.
As ancient hebrews defined and changed their gods, so did christians as they defined the trinity.
They were not that different if you look at the grand sceme of things. The only difference is hebrews were monotheistic for about 600 years. christians were never monotheistic because it was based off the god deity and the son of god deity.
