How is it the same G-d?

Question

If Judaism and Christianity differs on the meaning of ONE G-d, Heaven, Hell, the devil, Satan, Messiah, Covenant, Commandments, Judgment, Scriptural translations and interpretations, worship, holidays, etc…

Different interpretation? So do you worship the same god as the ancient Greeks? Same one just different interpretation.

Nice, typical evangelical nonsense that is so easy to dispute it is comical. I particularly like your take and Elohim, Adonai and such. It is textbook. Please answer this question as well because it is people like you I am talking about:

Answer 1

I would say that we both believe that their is a creator to the universe.

ours is one united G-d theirs is a father son and I dont know how a ghost got in to the picture.

besides that its hard to say we truly have much in common.

Answer 2

Jesus came as a fulfullment of the law. However, the Jews did not see it that way.

Jesus is the same promised seed of eve that God spoke about in the Genesis, as well as the other prophets. When Jesus came, he did not teach something new, but affirmed them the law, and fulfilled it.

It was the same God that Jesus were teaching about. Even in the transfiguration, the same old prohpets were seens with Jesus.

The law and all worship style as well as ceremony were all preparing for the arrival of Jesus.

The sacrificed lamb, concept of innocent blood to atone for our sins, all these are Jewish concept.

When Jesus came, he is the Lamb of God, who's blood shall now atone for our sins, once and for all, washes us clean. Now we stand in the presence of God blameless.

There is really no difference, be it in their view of Devil, Satan, Messiah, Covenent, etc.

As I mentioned earlier, the Christian were using the same text from the Jews, how different can it be, beside different interpretation. But the Greek gods were not in the same text.

The Covenent were still the same, The Abrahamic covenent in Gen 12, now covers wider to all mankind, thru Jesus, the seed of Abraham.

The salvation plan is still the same, Hab 2:4, the Just shall live by faith, same as the teaching in Hebrew in the new testament. Without faith it is impossible to please God.

In Genesis, Abraham was justified not because he do all the law, but he believe, Gen 15. So are we Christian. We are saved because we believe in what God says.

Commandment? Still the same. All the ten commandment now have a deeper meaning to us, it is Love. For if there is love, we will not steal, rob or rape. It is the same teaching as Jesus, and he summarised it from the old testament.

What are the 2 new Commandments given by Jesus, arn't they covers all the commandment of Moses?

Woship? What is the different? We come with a pure heart, and not the form of worship. In Jeremiah's time, the Lord detest their worship for they worship the form but not in spirit.

Holidays? Is that of major significant?

By the way, I understand that you are digging into the minor issues on Muslim, Christian and Jews. What you want?

Initially you seems sincere to know. Now I doubt your sincerity. I think you are finding trouble.

Answer 3

Complicated isn't it? What is it specifically you would like to know? Both believe in the God of Abraham, who calls himself the "I am". The rest is the different ways people have interpreted the things that He said. Just to throw a wrench in the works, Muslims believe that Allah is also this same God.

* and no, the greeks had many gods. Monotheism is different than Polytheism, in that the belief structure doesn't allow for compromise. For example, the Greeks could believe in their gods, and could accept that the Nords Gods existed also, but lived in Norway instead of Mt. Olympus; whereas in monotheism, a believer considers everyone else to be simply wrong.

Answer 4

False religions have false teachings. There is only one TRUE God. You just have to pray to Him and find out for yourself what the true religion is. Don't trust a person to give you that answer. I mean, by all means, listen to what everyone says, but be open-minded and trust God to give you the truth and give you the right answer. I prayed about it for years before I finally found the denomination I belong to. I am Christian...I am Mormon. I never knew what Mormons truly believed until I actually talked to the missionaries. I was a major skeptic, but I decided to be open-minded and let God tell me what to do. I prayed about it, and I finally got my answer and joined the church.
Sometimes the best thing for a person is to be non-denominative...trust God, read the Bible, and if you're unsure of how to interpret something pray about it. The Bible confuses so many people because it can be interpreted so many different ways. That's because God is multi-dimensional. The Bible was not written for only one person to read one time, and that's all that is meant for you to get out of it. He knew everyone who would ever live. He wrote the Bible for everyone. When you look at a verse, it speaks to you the way it's meant to at that point in time...to give you the answer you need in your life. It's God's way of speaking to us all and giving us the answers we need. Only a true God could write a book that way. How could any person write anything so complex unless it was in fact inspired by God?

Answer 5

Well, Christians say it is the same God, but Jews deny it. Maybe the Jews are right? There are a lot of non-Jewish elements in Christianity, many of them apparently pagan in ultimate origin. Perhaps we should turn to the Jews for an understanding of YHWH and to Christians only for an understanding of "The Father" and "The Son."

Answer 6

They aren't the same... the idea of what God is isn't even close in comparison. Besides, Christianity has set up a man as god to worship, where as in the Old Test, it specifically says that God is NOT a man nor the Son of Man. Son of Man being one of the many titles Jesus carried. But, of course, Jesus died to wipe out the Old Test, so I guess that doesn't matter, huh?

Answer 7

Judaism, Christianity, and Islam all believe in the same divinity, but this divinity is manifested and perceived differently by different people.

For example, a colour-blind person perceives the colour green differently from a person with normal vision, but both people are looking at the same colour. They just see it differently, and therefore describe it differently.

Answer 8

NOT ALL CHRISTIANS believe in a Trinity. As for the Roman Catholic views - they are not even remotely close to what Jesus taught or the Bible.

As for how I differ from the Jewish belief of heaven and hell - that remains to be seen. I cant find any jewish people who agree on the subject either. On jew says Jews do not believe in Angels - another does..., and so on. I personally (a non jew) do believe in angels - but NOT the Roman Catholic concept.

Answer 9

Divine Confusion.

Answer 10

I think both parties just believe different things ABOUT God, which really just indicates that no one actually knows what their talking about when it comes to God. Always beware of people who think they know all the answers. They're not much fun to talk to.

Answer 11

Same God, different interpretation.
