In Judaism the government is in the hands of the people. The Bible says that we are to follow God but we should follow mans laws. Jesus believed that equality is for everyone. In the Torrah it says that the government is up to the people. Both Judaism and Christianity laid the foundation of democracy.
The ideas of Judaism and Christianity revolved mainly around the importance of the individual and the responsibilities of the individual. Judaism taught that God had given people the freedom to choose between good and evil. The text read, “Therefore, each person was responsible for the choices he or she made.” (McDougal Littell, Pg.12) This belief was a core idea to the shaping of a democracy. Christianity taught the importance of an individual by emphasizing the “essential equality of all human beings, a belief central to democracy.” (McDougal Littell, Pg.14)
Judaism - their ideas. - each human being has a divine spark that gives him or her a dignity that can never be taken away. -believed that god gave human beings moral freedom. -each person was responsible for the choices he or she made. - had the Ten Commandments, focused more on morality and ethics and less on politic.
Whereas,
Christianity - their ideas. - stressed the essential equality of all human beings, a belief central to democracy. - there is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male or female.
Back when the Old Testament was formed, the Jews believed God gave humans moral freedom and the knowledge to choose between good and evil. This means that each person was responsible for his or her own actions. In today’s democracy, we have laws and knowledge of what is right and wrong. If we took the wrong action, we could be found guilty because we know our action was wrong. The Jews also had the Ten Commandments, which were laws for the people. Today, we have our own laws that are made up by our government.
Christianity
The Apostle Paul followed in Jesus’ teachings, and he spread the word all over the world. One teaching that he told to many is, “There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.” (McDougal Little 14) This lead to the idea in later years that every human being in created equal in God’s image. In 1776, when Thomas Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence, he stated, “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights…” This means that we should treat everyone like we would treat our brother.
Judaism and Christianity taught individual worth, ethical standards, and the need to fight injustice. Their ideas about the worth of individuals, ethical standards, the need to fight injustice, and as well as the responsibility of individuals to the community, had a strong impact on the development of democract. These ideals continued to be important to democracy today.
Judaism and Christianity supports the idea that every individual's thought is important and that these people have dignity simply because they are a child of God. With the freedom given to them, these people have the choice and responsibility to do the right thing. The Romans and the Greeks thought that a person had dignity because of their ability to reason.
Judaism and Christianity are both religions centered on the teachings and laws of God. The laws and teachings were taught on earth by people of God in both Christianity and Judaism. The basic beliefs were a foundation for democracy: "In God we trust" is a saying started when democracy in the U.S. started.
Judaism taught that individuals were responsible for their own actions. Judaism also focused on ethnics and morality instead of politics. Christianity taught that all people were created equal, as well as focusing on ethnics and morality.
I believed that Judaism and Christianity promoted the ideas of individualism and how everyone has the right to believe in what they chose to believe in.Also both religions were used to help create a set of laws that are carried on today in the American government. Like for example the ten commandments they were ten set of rules that the people believed in and followed.
Judaism and Christianity both belived in protecting there own individual rights. They believed that god gave them freedom, and that everyone was responsible for there mistakes and actions.These ideas were crucial to todays democracy.
Compare the ideas of Judaism and Christianity shared that were crucial to the shaping of democracy.
