Judaism, Christianity and Islam were all born in the Middle East. a place of sand and rocks with few oases. All three religions venerate the Old Testament which begins with the book of Genesis containing the story of how Adam and Eve were driven
from paradise for eating the forbidden fruit. Judaism recognizes the Old Testament as its Bible. Christianity venerates the Old Testament, but also believes in the New Testament, which tells the life story of Jesus Christ.Islam venerates both the Old
Testament and the New Testament, and also believes in the Koran, a collection of revelations from God to the Prophet Muhammad.
Christ, who was Jewish, is traditionally considered lo have been born in the year 1 A.D. However, based on research into contemporary natural phenomena and Christ's biographical records, it seems he was born between 7 and 4 B.C. His actual birth date is not recorded in the Bible. Until the 4th century, his birthday was thought to be either May 20 or January 6. December 25 was chosen as his birthday long after that. Japanese followers of Buddhism seem to love celebrating festivals, and so they also celebrate the birthday of the founder of a foreign religion.
What are the food taboos of Christianity? The distinctions between pure and impure given in the Old Testament are not included in the New Testament. Christians believe God created all living things, and thus no food is considered impure, as long as we give thanks for what we eat. God has provided us with food for another day, and so we adopt a frame of mind in which we thank God for His Kindness. Unlike Islam,
Christianity does not ban the drinking of alcohol. However, some Chrisdan sects take different views. For example, Protestantism entered Japan in the Meiji Period, and
was strongly against the use of liquor and tobacco. This is good medical advice, and is easy to understand from a religious viewpoint.
Broadly speaking, Christianity has had both rigorous and easy-going sects depending on the prevailing ideology of the age. The medieval monasteries of the powerful
Catholic Church did not allow the monks to eat meat. One reason seems to be that, in the pre-refrigeration age, the black pepper used to preserve meat had to be imported from the Far East, and so was a real luxury. Black pepper was also thought to stimulate sexual desire, so it was not suitable for celibate monks. lt seems that
monks were only allowed to eat meat when they were ill. It is easy to understand why monastery cuisine never became popular in meat-loving Europe. Conversely, Buddhist cuisine which also eschewed meat eating, was widely adopted in Japan because of Japan's long history of meatless cuisine.
Many scholars of comparative culture believe thay, because Judaism in the time of Chirst had many strict rules in addition to dietary laws, it was difficult for it to become a broad-based religion with mass appeal. By decreasing the number of laws and taboos of its parent religion Judaism, Christianity opened the door to becoming a worldwide religion.
