If a number of Jews hadn't accepted Jesus as the messiah they had been waiting for, the new testament could never have been added to the old. This may well be a gross oversimplification, but as I understand it, modern Jews are still waiting for the messiah, though I freely confess ignorance as to what exactly is meant by the term. In a sense, Christianity is a schism in Judaism between those who said 'He's the one' and those who said 'No, we're still waiting.' - hence such terms as Judeo-Christian and the endless mentions of I-is-ra-el in English hymns. (Always four syllables for some reason)<br>

I haven't thought about this sort of thing for years, so thank you for helping me dredge it up. I'll try to see this film tomorrow or the day after.<br>
