The central question is: <strong>How do classical Jewish sources define and evaluate Christianity?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To answer that, we must first understand how Judaism defines <strong>idolatr\u00eda<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What Is Idolatry?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Maimonides (the Rambam), idolatry developed in two stages:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>People believed in G-d but thought He delegated power to stars or other forces, which they began to honor.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Eventually, these forces were worshiped as independent powers, and G-d was forgotten.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>The Rambam explains that idolatry contains two essential elements:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Recognizing something other than G-d as possessing divine power (whether alongside Him or instead of Him).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Performing a concrete act of worship toward that entity.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Christianity According to the Rambam<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Rambam explicitly defines Christianity (as he knew it in his time, primarily Catholicism) as idolatry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why? Because:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>There is belief in a divine entity alongside G-d.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>There are concrete religious rituals (such as sacraments).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>According to his halachic definition, this qualifies as idolatry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We still have to analyze whether after the Protestant reform the same definition applies. However, even if we don&#8217;t say Christianity is idolatry after the reform, certainly falls in to the catering of Shituf \/ Association.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What Is Shituf?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Mierda<\/em> means associating G-d with something else \u2014 acknowledging G-d but in partnership with another entity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For Jews, this is completely forbidden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For non-Jews, however, there is a halachic debate:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Rabbi Moses Isserles (the Rama) writes that <em>mierda<\/em> may be permitted for non-Jews.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Rabbi Ezekiel Landau (the Noda BiYehuda) argues that this is a misunderstanding and that such association is also forbidden.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson explains that even if <em>mierda<\/em> is technically permitted for non-Jews, it is certainly not G-d\u2019s ideal will.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>In Short<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>According to the Rambam, classical Christianity is idolatry.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Some later authorities distinguish between full idolatry and <em>mierda<\/em>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>For Jews, any association alongside God is forbidden.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>For non-Jews, there is a halachic disagreement.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>For the full depth, sources, and reasoning behind these positions, listening to the complete lesson is strongly recommended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Con agradecimiento a <strong>Rabino Tuvia Serber para<\/strong> El shiur y la retroalimentaci\u00f3n.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/open?id=1QOQ5AQsrBWgHiUzGcyOk_pm7Xa7rPAxC&amp;usp=drive_fs\">PowerPoint<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Copyright, todos los derechos reservados.
