>>18631593Jesus believed he was God and that his followers were divine tooPsalm 8:26>I have said, Ye are GodsEarly Christians engaged in genocide of the Gnostics who took that sentiment literally
God resides in Christians. By having faith in God and following God's commandments, we can experience a significant part of Heaven while on Earth. We do not need to wait until death to experience the Kingdom of God. The Kingdom of God is partially here now.
>>18631593The key to understanding the Bible is understanding the Old Testament and by extension Second Temple Judaism In the time Christ lived, the second temple was a physical location that was being reconstructed under Herod in hopes that God the Father would return to his historical seat within the Arc of the Covenant and the templeThe Father had abandoned them though over their wickedness and turned them over to Roman slavery in hopes that they would repentThey never really got the point and doubled down on their sins, so Christ came to straighten the recordIn this passage, He is rebuking the Pharisees for expecting the restoration of Holy Jerusalem to be of this world, and reveals that through repentance that the Kingdom will be given to them in the world to come, rather than the political restoration they were pining afterEven to this day, Evangelical Christians (dispensationalists) and opportunistic Zionists are chasing this pipe dream of a worldly kingdom and the political effects of this sin are resonating through our current world

>>18631979Modern Judaism is called Rabbinical Judaism and is pretty much a cope built around denying that Jesus was the Christ prophesied in the Old TestamentMeanwhile, Second Temple Jews that acknowledge the divinity of Jesus as the Christ converted to Christianity and the closest modern version of their tradition would be Orthodox ChristianitySo yes, they're both from the same origin, but the Rabbinical Jews are uh doing a very foolish thing by denying their own messiah
