Judaists, an Integral Part of Christianity

What should we learn from Judaists?

If you are Europeans or Americans, for you to be successful in academic communities or business domains it is very important to learn something from Judaists.

And, those who have learnt the most from Juadaists have been Judaist Europeans and Judaist Americans.  Accordingly, there have been many successful Judaist westerners not to mention Einstein and Rothchilds.

But from the beginning, we have not clear or correct  knowledge about Judaists.  For a majority of people in the world, Judaists are those who were enemies of Hitler and Nazis during WWII.  As Hitler and Nazis had gone long, Judaists to a majority of people in the world are those who are enemies of the Arabs and Muslims as well as enemies of poor Christina westerners.

Yet, we don't know why they were and are such.

From another point of view, Judaists are the only remnant of the era of the Roman Empire.  They, as a race, sub-race, or  ethnic group, are a kind of living witnesses of the era of the Roman Empire from a special viewpoint of history.

Even before the first Pope assumed his office somewhere around Rome, ancestors of today's Judaists were active and full of a sense of existence.  And without interruption or dubious episodes, those who identified themselves as Judaists continued their way of life as people of the Old Testament mostly in the Christian world for 2000 years after the emergence of Christ Jesus.  And their descendants still keep the same way of living today.

Put simply, the most important thing about Judaists is that they have not survived as individuals but as a group of people if not tied geographically or not in a frame of their own government.
 
It is truly an example of power of a religious and cognate group.  Of course, there have been various religious groups in history.  If their religions are sound and true, they can survive for long.  But, for any cognate groups to survive more than 2000 years is almost impossible.  There is only one other example: the Japanese with their imperial family.

But without Christianity, has it been possible for Judaists to survive to this date?  And, if Christianity had not included the Old Testament in their holy books, has it been possible for Judaists to survive to this date?

The key to understanding the historical success of Judaists must be the Old Testament adopted by Christians as a holy book.  Couldn't any Popes exclude the Old Testament from the list of their sacred writings?

We may as well think that Judaists have survived to this date, because some of leaders of Christianity or the Vatican during their pioneer days, namely in a few centuries after the emergence of Chrsit Jesus, decided to allow Judaists to survive with Christianity by taking the Old Testament into their Bible.

But why?  Probably, it must have been a request from a Holy Spirit, since it must have been possible to establish Christianity, in a few centuries after the emergence of Chrsit Jesus, as a new religion completely separated from Jewish traditions.    

Judaists have been clearly an integral part of Christianity in these 2000 years, whether you don't like them or dislike them.

Joh 4:8 (For his disciples were gone away unto the city to buy meat.)
Joh 4:9 Then saith the woman of Samaria unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans.
Joh 4:10 Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.
