Hello, my name is Michael Cartwright and I hope you will join me in my journey of Crossing the Chasm. Crossing the Chasm between Christianity and Judaism. I started this journey a little over 10 years ago I had always understood Christianity to be the antithesis to Judaism ...And in some sense this is true, but I’ve learned this wasn’t always the case. I have learned that Christianity and Judaism as we know them today were born out of the second temple period Judaism's of the first century and over time, they redefined themselves in opposition to one another creating a chasm that originally did not exist. On this channel, we will journey together to cross the chasm between Christianity and Judaism to reconcile these two great religions. I will share what I am learning, and we will grow in our understanding together. We will cover the various traditions of these faiths and learn how they can inform our understanding of God. We will discuss our commonalities and differences and discover how the chasm was created. We will learn about the Jewishness of Jesus and His early followers and why it matters. If you would like to join me on this journey of reformation and reconciliation, please consider subscribing.
