The myth of history begins with Judaism. The God in Judaism gave promises to Abraham that He will sent Moses to deliver his people from slavery to the Egyptians and bring them into the “the land of Canaan”.

First of all, in Christianity Jesus was born as a Jew, participated in all traditions, and died as a Jew. Also, Jesus was born to Mary, raised by Mary and Joseph. However, it is a traditional belief that Joseph derived from King David’s line. King David belongs to Judaism, who had set up the Kingdom in Judaism. Therefore, it seems that Christianity is connected to Judaism. Gentile followers who are known as a non-Jews believed that Jewish people did not understand his (Jesus) message, so the gentile followers adopted a new way of understanding Judaism that they thought is “practicing a new and improved faith – Christianity”. (Pg. 146) Furthermore, in first-century Jewish arguments were combined into the sacred writings of Christianity which is in the New Testament.

In Christianity, nobody has yet known that on which date Jesus was born. The date December 25 was given with respect to the sun god for a pagan festival.
