Whose view of the O T is authoritative? Jewry or Christianity?
In reading and discussing the O T, I have noted that the Jewish view is in some cases completely opposite of what the Christian view is. I E. The Jews see Eden as man’s elevation to a moral sense, while Christians see Eden as man’s fall. Jews do not recognize original sin while Christians do.
Jews also do not read the O T as literal and historic while Christians do.
Whose interpretation should hold precedence? The Jewish view or the Christian one?
When Christianity usurped the Jewish God, should they have also usurped their interpretations as well, instead of reversing them?

The Jewish view seems more correct to me, it is, after all, their work that is being looked at.

It asks who is better qualified to interpret Jewish scriptures. Jew's or Christians? www.youtube.com/watch?v=XpqcBu3tpskRegards DL

In that case the question is unimportant. If you are not worried about if the interpretations are correct then who cares about the "experts" qualifications?

All the women who have been oppressed all of these years because of the Christian reversal of the Jewish interpretations. All those who, thanks to original sin, have had to live with a guilt trip imposed by a church just to get more $$$$$$ out of us. www.youtube.com/watch?v=SF6I5VSZVqcRegards DL
