We're not Christians. We believe in the stuff from the Old Testament (Torah, Talmud, etc.). We accept the idea that a messiah will come, but Jesus did not match the description, so we don't consider him to be the messiah. Also, no trinity, 1 whole god.

Jews believe in the Torah, both written and oral.
Christians entirely reject the oral Torah and limit the application of much of the written Torah.
Jews still await the Messiah or the Messianic age.
Christians believe Jesus was the Messiah.

The jews teach a strict Monotheism Viewpoint of God and Teach their Messiah is yet to come. They abide by the Old Testament in the Strict teachings also they are diligent in understanding of the teaching's of the Torah which is the first five book's of the Bible written by Moses also called the pentetuch! They adhere to a strict teaching that God is absolutely ONE. Deut 6:4.

I am no jew,but the Jews believe that Christ was not the son of God and the chosen Masiah, nor has he yet come. They do not celebrate Christmas because of that and have their own celebrating and practices. Their God from the old testament is not as he appears in the New testament, where the sins and ways of the old were nailed to the cross with the Christ and began anew upon his death for our sins.

The Hebrew people suffer from the same division in their religion as we as Christians do.
However they believe in GOD, especially the old Testament.
The only things they deny about Jesus Christ are, the Virgin Birth
and His being the Son of God.
But remember, they are right now looking for the arrival of the Messiah and we are looking for HIS return.

Jewish people aren't the same as Christians. They did NOT believe the Messiah (Jesus) has come yet and the Christians do.

Judaism has no dogma, no formal set of beliefs that one must hold to be a Jew. In Judaism, actions are far more important than beliefs, although there is certainly a place for belief within Judaism.

i am a pentecostal christian that means i believe in him all the way. and believe in the baptism of the holy ghost. Jews however still make sacrifices to god, they believe in god, but not that Jesus was his son. they believe that Jesus was just a man but a good prophet. there you have it. bye!

They are living human kind like you and me.
They too belive in God.
But were at loss with the missing x-files.
Our creator's original gifts of life which was lost with time on planet earth.
Were like every living human kind blindly following the kitchen's ghost stories from a woman's error from her kitchen on planet earth.
Observe how every living human kind all ended up in throwing pots and pans in bashing up one another on planet earth.
Over the loss of original identity of Mankind on planet earth.
See how the blind leads the blind on planet earth.

They don't believe in the claims of Jesus, thus they are not Christians.
