What is the Pearl Harbor ?

1 answer:

8 0

<span>Just before 8 a.m. on December 7, 1941, hundreds of Japanese fighter planes attacked the American naval base at Pearl Harbor near Honolulu, Hawaii. The barrage lasted just two hours, but it was devastating: The Japanese managed to destroy nearly 20 American naval vessels, including eight enormous battleships, and more than 300 airplanes. More than 2,000 Americans soldiers and sailors died in the attack, and another 1,000 were wounded. The day after the assault, President Franklin D. Roosevelt asked Congress to declare war on Japan; Congress approved his declaration with just one dissenting vote. Three days later, Japanese allies Germany and Italy also declared war on the United States, and again Congress reciprocated. More than two years into the conflict, America had finally joined World War II.</span>

How did judaism affect existing laws

shtirl [24]

If anything Christianity affected Judaism, because the Jewish religion was around along time before the Christian religion, therefore Christianity affected Judaism negatively because more people converted to Christianity!

Answer 2

While Answer 1 may be correct in terms of the general direction of conversions, both forced and by choice, in terms of philosophy, literature, and general ideology, Christianity is fundamentally an outgrowth of Judaism. Before Christology developed as a Christian Discipline, the Jewish ideas of the Messiah, Redemption, and the End of Days helped to develop similar doctrines in Christianity. Christianity also carried forward the Jewish concept on Monotheism. Judaism also provided a backdrop for early Christians of the "unredeemed" and "pitiable" allowing them to claim a natural ascendancy and "betterness". This sense of superiority allowed Christian conquerors to knowingly subjugate America without regard for the indigenous cultures that they would displace and/or eradicate. Finally, the Bible used in Christianity is over 75% the same as that used in Judaism.
