Because through Jesus we are saved. The Jews deny Jesus.

Christians need Jesus because they believe that the Old Testament contains a prophecy about the Messiah, which was fulfilled with Jesus. Almost all of God's Old Testament laws were destroyed with the coming of Jesus. The New Testament God has a completely different personality from the Old Testament God. So the answer is that it's not the same god.

Greetings,
It is the same God but not quite the same thing. God will send those Jews of His chosen people to the fiery lake that have not accepted and believe in Jesus Christ.
In the New Testament it states that there is only one name that can save. That one name is Jesus.
If you remember that when the Jewish people were asked who should be saved Barrabas or Jesus they replied That Jesus should be crucified and Barrabas set free. So from their answer to have Jesus crucified they rejected the Fathers only begotten Son and therefore God has given them up for eternal punishment.
Now that does not mean that any Jew that turns to Jesus and believes in Him will be sent to the lake of fire,rather they will be afforded the grace of the Father just as we Gentiles have been given.

God does not send anybody to Hell. People have free will and choose either to accept Jesus or to reject Him. If they accept Him, they go to Heaven, if they reject Him, they go to Hell.

You asked why people need Jesus. To answer that, I have to go back a long way in time. This was when God was creating the world and He had created the world and all the animals and
plants. Then He decided to create man. He did
and He didn't want the man to be lonely, so He
created the woman. The man's name was Adam and the woman's name was Eve. God
placed Adam and Eve in a beautiful garden
called the Garden of Eden. They had every-
thing to eat that they could possibly want and
they didn't have to work for it; it was already
there waiting for them. All they had to do was to pick the fruit from the trees and eat. However, God told Adam and Eve that there was one tree that they should not eat the fruit
from. This was the tree in the center of the gar-
den which was called the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. God said to Adam and Eve, "Do not eat of this fruit."
(quotes mine--the original words are found in
Genesis in the Bible.) God further said that
Adam and Eve weren't even supposed to touch
this fruit or they would die. Adam and Eve heard God and they promised that they would not eat of the tree of Knowlege of Good and Evil that was in the center of the Garden of Eden.

Now the Devil or Satan heard all of this. He decided that he would trick Adam and Eve into eating the fruit to see if they would.

The Devil asked Adam, "Adam, do you mean to tell me that you can't even have ONE bite of that delicious-looking fruit!? Not one bite!!???"
Adam said, "We can eat of the fruit from the other trees in the garden. We just can't eat the fruit from this one because God said that if we ate the fruit or even touched it, we'd die."

The Devil said, "You won't die! God knows
that if you eat that fruit that you'll become
like him! You'll be a god too! You
won't die!!" Adam thought about what the Devil
had said and then he looked at the fruit. It did
look good! He told Eve what the Devil had said
and together Adam and Eve decided to believe
what the Devil had told them and try the fruit.
When Adam and Eve ate the fruit, a thing called
Sin came into the world. Sin is disobedience
against God. After Adam and Eve ate the fruit
God came in the evening calling for Adam the
way He did every evening and Adam hid from
God. Adam didn't want God to know that he had eaten some of the fruit from the tree in the
center of the garden. But God knew. God still
loved Adam and Eve because they were His
children but now they could not go to Heaven
to be with Him because they had sinned by
eating the fruit of the Tree of the Knowlege of
Good and Evil when He had asked them not to
eat it. God is a holy God. He cannot look upon
Sin. He hates Sin. He loves the sinner (the man
or woman who sins) but he hates the Sin.
This presented God with a problem. Man, who
He had created to have fellowship with Him
could not now do this because the relationship
had been broken by sin. There had to be a way
to repair this relationship so that God and man
could be friends and could spend eternity
together. Man could not mend that relationship.
Only Jesus, God's Son, could. Jesus said, "I
will come into the world and live as a man
should so man will learn how to live like We
(He and God) want them to." Jesus further said
that He would have to be crucified by the
Romans. He would be the sacrifice for the sins
of the world. The sins that had already been
committed as well as those that had not yet
been committed. God agreed that this was the
only way so Jesus came to Earth as a man and
lived on this Earth and taught, preached, and
healed for approximately 30 years. He was
crucified (executed) by the Roman government
as a criminal because somebody said that He
had said that He was King of the province of
Judea instead of Julius Casear being the king
of Judea. Jesus didn't say this. Somebody
asked Jesus if He were a King and He said,
"Yes." He was indeed a King. He was and is
King of the Heavenly Hosts.

But the story doesn't end with Jesus's death.
On the third day after He had died, He rose
again and 40 days after that he ascended
to Heaven (rose in the air and continued to
rise until He entered Heaven). During the 40
days that He was on Earth after His cruci-
fixation, He appeared to many people.

This is why we need both Jesus and God.

"I am the Way and the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father, except by me." Jesus

The Bible teaches that Jesus is a "stumbling block" for many Jews. They want to get to God, but God's plan includes Jesus. Still God has special plans for the Jewish people whom He chose as His own, and He will keep calling and drawing them to Himself. They will all have to say "yes" or "no" to Jesus at some point.

Why does God send anyone to hell? He gives you a clear choice. God's way--which leads to spending eternity in the presence of God (heaven) or your own way--which leads to spending eternity away from God (hell). If you don't want to follow God, should he force you to spend eternity in His presence?

If you look back over the books of the Old Testament, the Jewish people were often punished by God. They often rebelled against God and tried to kill the prophets who were speaking to them what God had told them to say.

Read the book of Jeremiah for example, or the book of Hosea. In Hosea, God compares Israel to a whore that he married. Because Israel goes out and worships other Gods - violating their covenant. Yet, God is still faithful to Israel & protected them and raised up judges and kings to defend them and even sent them Jesus the Messiah whom they rejected as their king.

Just a point regarding the premise: From the jewish point of view, jews and christians are NOT worshipping the same god. They may use the same name, but then again, a lot of people call themselves Elvis; however, that doesn't make them "the king".

God, Jesus, was so disappointed with those evil people He chose, He changed His mind about them, chose another people, cancelled all the laws He gave us for living together in peace, and plans to lift them up from their misery here on earth to watch all those evil Jews sizzle in hell.

Jews do not need Christianity to explain their existence or their origin, but Christians cannot explain their existence without Judaism.

Rev Kip - The moon God, WTF? and also you're a religious chief? Explains lots about the frame of mind of quite some Christians obtainable... *Shakes Head* Do you no longer understand that Muslims (and many Jews) hint the origins of Islam decrease back to the first baby of Abraham, who God also stated may the be the daddy of an truly good human beings? So do you carry it adverse to Jesus that his mum and dad weren't christian? considering Mohammed depending the religion, for sure he became born right into a distinct one. and those loopy reference you made about the pagan daughters he allegedly worshiped, you pick to benefit somewhat better. Mohommed actual denouced all scripture concerning them as "The Satanic Verses" and stated such beliefs had no position in a monotheistic relgion. anyhow, on to answering the question. keep in suggestions, I communicate of the wider Christian frame of mind, and under no circumstances the genuinely faith itself which preaches tolerance of others... Christianity hasn't ever loved different religions. to contain Judaism. absolutely everyone bear in mind the Inquisition? Or the undeniable reality that Pope John Paul II admitted that the church bore some duty for the holocaust because of it is intolerence of Jews? Ever heard the age previous tale that we use the blood of a christian innocuous to make our passover matzah? Christians pick to piggy decrease go into reverse of our faith so that they have got a love hate relationship with us, yet everyday can't denounce us because they did borrow our God and under no circumstances any incorrect way round. The instantly out hate for Muslims comes from the undeniable reality that even as Jews purely pick to get with this methodology, Islam became formed after the demise and hoopla of Jesus. we do not pick to grandfather clause him in, yet they outright rejected him. Oh, that and Christians look an intollerant lot because it truly is (a lot to Jesus's chagrin, i'm positive).

Jesus said he was the son of God...not god. Jesus also said that heaven is for those whom the father chooses.
Jesus came to teach us the true meaning of true love.
