Wakristo wa Kiyahudi

Wakristo wa Kiyahudi walikuwa Wayahudi waliomuamini Yesu kuwa ndiye Masiya (Kristo) aliyetabiriwa katika dini yao. 

Mwanzoni Kanisa la wafuasi wa Yesu liliundwa na watu wa namna hiyo karibu peke yao, lakini kadiri miaka ya karne ya 1 ilivyozidi kwenda, waamini kutoka mataifa mengine waliongezeka hadi kuwazidi hao wenye asili ya Kiyahudi. 

Hatimaye Wakristo wa Kiyahudi walionekana kundi dogo la watu waliozidi kuzingatia mno mambo ya Agano la Kale, tofauti na Wakristo wenzaoKeith Akers, The lost religion of Jesus: simple living and nonviolence in early Christianity, Lantern Books, 2000 p. 21Wylen, Stephen M., The Jews in the Time of Jesus: An Introduction, Paulist Press (1995), ISBN 0-8091-3610-4, Pp 190-192.; Dunn, James D.G., Jews and Christians: The Parting of the Ways, A.D. 70 to 135, Wm.

" Tofauti kati yao na Wayahudi wengine ilikuwa tu imani kuhusu Yesu.McGrath, Alister E., Christianity: An Introduction. Blackwell Publishing (2006). ISBN 1-4051-0899-1. Page 174: "In effect, they [Jewish Christians] seemed to regard Christianity as an affirmation of every aspect of contemporary Judaism, with the addition of one extra belief — that Jesus was the Messiah. Unless males were circumcised, they could not be saved (Acts 15:1)." 

Baadhi yao walisisitiza umuhimu wa desturi za Kiyahudi kiasi cha kudai hata Wakristo wenye asili ya mataifa wazifuate, lakini Mtaguso wa Yerusalemu (Mdo 15:6-35) uliamua tofauti, wakaendelea kumpinga Mtume Paulo na kuvuruga kazi yake ya uinjilishaji wa mataifa. 

Wakristo wa Kiyahudi walidhoofisha sana na Vita vya Wayahudi kwa ajili ya kujikomboa (66-135), na maangamizi ya Hekalu la Yerusalemu (70) pamoja na itikadi kali ambayo iliongoza Uyahudi baadaye na kufukuza Wakristo wote kutoka sinagogini.

Hatimaye hata Kanisa la Yerusalemu lilibaki mikononi mwa Wakristo wasio Wayahudi kwa asili.

Pamoja na hayo, mwelekeo wa kutaka Wakristo wafuate masharti mengi au hata yote ya Torati umeendelea hadi leo katika madhehebu mbalimbali.
