The year was 2002 and I was a new believer in Jesus, yet I still had many questions about Christianity. I knew that Jesus (in Hebrew Yeshua or Yehoshua) was a Jewish man, but for some unknown reason none of the churches we had attended resembled the Jewish culture and religion I had grown up with. Was Christianity a completely new religion, or was it an offshoot from biblical Judaism? If so, then how did the church become so disconnected from its spiritual foundation?
