For instance, Maimonides himself states that Christians do not serve the true God:
Christianity caused the Jews to be slain by the sword, their remnants to be scattered and humbled, the Torah to be altered, and the majority of the world to err and serve a god other than the Lord.[11](Emphasis added)
In his book Miraculous Journey, Yosef Eisen paraphrases the third point in relation to a disputation of Nachmanides (Rabbi Moses ben Nachman – “Ramban”):
Third, Ramban demonstrated how the Christian belief in the Trinity and Yeshu’s birth could not be believed by any thinking Jew. The Trinity is outright idol worship, for it is belief in three gods, while the Virgin Birth is wholly foreign to Jewish tradition and logic.Interestingly, Christian missionaries still attempt to convince Jews of the truth of their religion, and the refutation of their so-called proofs is exactly the same as the Ramban used more than 700 years ago.[12]
Eisen also states elsewhere, about the origins of Christianity:
Eventually, the Christians realized that the Jewish people would not accept their idolatrous beliefs, and decided to introduce their religion to the Gentile world.[13]

“Christianity caused the Jews to be slain by the sword”
I disagree with that statement . It wasn’t Christianity , it was
the leaders of the church. They went astray . Jesus taught us to love one another. Jesus was a Jew ,we just failed him and his word. If we move away from God entirely we are finished .
No, CHRISTIANITY did not. Christ was a Jew and there is NOTHING in His teachings that endorse forced conversion or death.
RELIGIONS, OTOH, did that and that is reprehensible to do something that contrary to God and Christ's teachings in the name of Christ.
Satan gets his most mileage out of people profaning Christ's name in that manner.
Jews were no more slaughtered by Christianity than Jesus was crucified by Judaism.
Those acts were done by either political or perverted religious interpretations justifying death.
So, the triune God is idolatry?
Pound sand, Cahill.
The real distinction between “One God” and “The Trinity”: Jesus made the point that He does only as the Father says - thus there is “one authority - One God”. But as our creeds point out, there are three “personas”, three ways in which He is made know to us. And because He is Love, there must be a least two involved. Don’t make this harder than it is.
“You have said so,” Jesus replied. “But I say to all of you: From now on you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of heaven.
Then the high priest tore his clothes and said, “He has spoken blasphemy! Why do we need any more witnesses? Look, now you have heard the blasphemy. Matthew 26:64-65
Christianity is a great blasphemy to religious Jews and even to many non-religious Jews.
Islam is merely the teaching of a false prophet and is religiously far more acceptable, barring the murderous rage at the Jews for not accepting Islam.
Could the Antichrist come from Noahide principles? Certainly he or it could use them, but it would pervert any teaching to its uses.
Let see…
40 years (this number should be a watermark for Jews) after Christ was died on the Christ, accompanied by an earthquake, an eclipse 12 (watermark) times longer than astrologically possible, the tearing of the veil, and the reserection of a multitude of saints, and finally HIS reserection…the Pagan Romans crushed Judaism and the temple…rendering the practice of the Jewish faith impossible.
The Talmude is just neopagan cope.
Here is a pretty “straight” explanation of the Laws of Noah. I think the Jews of the time would find Christians to be well within the rules set forth within them.
the author is quoting...
I’m not familiar with this theology.
Is this something akin to the Baha’i faith, which is a faith that believes everyone is worshiping the same God no matter what religious denomination they belong to?

Nicely put.
The number of professing "evangelical" believers today who seem not to understand that the "Judaism" of today is not -- and cannot possibly be -- Mosaic Judaism as set forth in the Torah is a testament to the persistent ignorance, if not outright stupidity, of that particular branch of "conservative Christianity."
This isn't exactly theological rocket science:
But as it is, Christ has obtained a ministry that is as much more excellent than the old as the covenant he mediates is better, since it is enacted on better promises. For if that first covenant had been faultless, there would have been no occasion to look for a second.
For he finds fault with them when he says:
“Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when I will establish a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah, not like the covenant that I made with their fathers on the day when I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt. For they did not continue in my covenant, and so I showed no concern for them, declares the Lord. For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the Lord: I will put my laws into their minds, and write them on their hearts, and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. And they shall not teach, each one his neighbor and each one his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest. For I will be merciful toward their iniquities, and I will remember their sins no more.”
In speaking of a new covenant, he makes the first one obsolete. And what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away.
-- Hebrews 8:6-13.
The destruction of the second temple in 70 A.D., after giving the Jews the amount of time (i.e., 40 years) nominally associated with a generation to recognize that their Messiah had come, had been crucified, was resurrected, and had then ascended to the sit at the right hand of the Father, as their prophets had foretold, was Yahweh/God's way of punctuating this point, it seems to me.
In Jesus of Nazareth the Law had been fulfilled, and, that, quite perfectly. The way -- and the only way -- for a devout Jew today, one who pursues Torah righteousness, to achieve is to put his or her faith in their Messiah, who is their Savior, and thus be in Christ.
He who denies the Son denies the Father.

This new religion may be
An end time’s thing.
You could apply that same comment to church history generally after 330 AD.
This is the kind of straining at gnats that a certain segment of modern american christianity(c) that wastes time looking for "heresy' loves to circle jerk with.
Read the book of genesis and have a great day.
Coincidentally, Israel National News posted this article a few days ago, although it’s meant for Jews with some background:
The Law of Idolatry...

And there is Jerusalem Lights weekly podcast and youtube discussion of this topic with Rabbi Chaim Richman from Jerusalem and Jim Long from the Ozarks.
***Christianity caused the Jews to be slain by the sword, their remnants to be scattered and humbled, the Torah to be altered,***
I would suggest an earlier view when Babylon captured Jerusalem. No Christians around then. And the later capture of Jerusalem in 70 AD by pagan ROME on the same day of the month that the Babylonians also captured Jerusalem centuries before. Then the Bar Kokhba(132 AD) revolt later again put down by Pagan Rome.
And the first ones recorded being killed were in the New Testament. After John the Baptist were...Acts12:
Now about that time Herod the king stretched forth his hands to vex certain of the church.
2 And he killed James the brother of John with the sword.
3 And because he saw it pleased the Jews, he proceeded further to take Peter also. (Then were the days of unleavened bread.)
And any changes in the Torah probably were transliterations, came from the Greek copies that were deposited in the Great Library of Alexandria before Julius Caesar caused it to be burned.
Freemasonry is mentioned too.
Why? Because they believe their religion is universally true and valid?
What are you, some kind of new age relativist who believes all religions are equal?
Nah. Because it sounds like Islam with a brain.
