The Jewish people and their sacred scriptures in the Christian Bible

After a rigorous analysis of this article, the commission concluded that there is important relationship between the two books. The author presents the sacred scriptures of the Jewish people as fundamental part of the Christian Bible. That is to say, without the sacred scriptures of the Jewish people, the Christian Bible would be incomplete. The Old Testament is presented as the base of the Bible. The article confirms that the New Testament has a real value because of its establishment on the basis which is the scripture. The Christians faith is based on the events, and on the conformity with the revelations contained in the ‘’sacred scriptures’’ of the Jewish people. According to cardinal Vonhoye, this constitutes a very strong link between Christians and Jews.

In the light of this article, we can say that the New Testament recognizes the authority of the sacred scriptures of the Jewish people. The article demonstrates that the New Testament uses the same language of the one found in the ``sacred scriptures’’. In this sense, we understand that the scriptures cannot be put aside. For cardinal Venhoye, the Jewish scripture is still valuable today in order to guide the life of Christians.

From this article, we can say that even new testament, its self asserts the conformity with the Jewish people`s scriptures. The accomplishment of the scriptures shows the relationship between Christians and Jews. The Old Testament is not enough to enlighten us about this matter. A decisive progress is found in the New Testament. In this sense, New Testament is considered as accomplishment of promises from the Old Testament.

            One hand, the article recognizes the serious disagreement between the majority of Jews and New Testament.  In particular,   Judaism which excludes faith in Jesus Christ as messiah and son of God.  This point of view is not acceptable to the Christians.  In the currents Judaism, the law is at the center of everything.   The law in which we found the essential institutions revealed by God himself. The New Testament, on the contrary, gives more importance to the phonetics texts, where is revealed the mystery of Christ.

In conclusion, the article shows how closer is the sacred scriptures of Jewish people to Christian Bible. However, it recognizes the serious disagreement with the vast majority of the Jews especially, those who do not believe in Jesus Christ. The reproaches addressed to Jews are not virulent or in terns of hostility. They are in the sense of progression and continuity. The Old Testament is inseparable from the New Testament. The Jews and Christians share a rich common patrimony that unites them.
