Do Christians worship the same God as the Jews?

Answer 1

As far as I know, Christians worship the holy trinity, that would be God the Father (the big guy, creator of earth etc.), God the Son (Jesus Christ, the lord and savior of Christians), and God the Holy Spirit (this one is harder to explain, its a concept akin to a global Christian conscience).

Jewish people, who generally don't believe that Jesus Christ is God's Son, and the savior of mankind, do believe in the God referenced in the Torah, the Jewish holy book, which is a subset of the Christian Bible. That is the same god referred to as God the Father in Christianity. Most Jewish people do respect Jesus Christ and believe that he was a great prophet, however they do not believe he was the one true saviour.

This might be confusing, since most people consider Christianity to be a monotheistic religion (a single god religion). I think the holy trinity is a metaphor and a way to explain to humans the different facets of God, but in the end, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit represent the same omnipotent being, collectively known as just "God". Jesus, according to Christians, is at the same time God's son, and the human form of God.

Answer 2

The Christians, and the Jews, and the Muslims all believe and worship the God of Abraham, and Moses. They all recognize the Old Testament prophets. However, they are have different views on the relationship of Jesus to God, and the role, if any, of Mohammed.

So, while they may all worship the same God, they have vastly different views on what God is.

Answer 3

Yes, there is only one God. The simple difference between Christians and Jews is the fact that Jews do not believe the Messiah already came. Christians believe the Jesus is the Son of God and that He is the Messiah.

Answer 4

As a Christian, I feel adopted by God. I am told that Jews have a relationship, through their ancestor Abraham. I doubt if many Jews accept the legality of a Christian's claim, but most I've talked to ackowledge the fact that we are both talking about God.

I believe in the Resurrection, and accept the Bible as good stuff, that brings a person to Him. Incarnate is a good word, look it up.

Answer 5

Yes. Judaism, Christianity and Islam all have they same roots. The go off on different paths beyond the Old Testament. Christians believe Jesus is the savior and Muslims put their faith in the Koran which is supposed to "the final word of God"

Answer 6

Not if His name is Jesus!

The only reason the Hebrew Bible is used in Christianity is because Paul needed the story to validate his new religion. Jews do not need Christianity to explain their existence or their origin; but Christians cannot explain their existence without Judaism

Answer 7

I would say yes, seeing as how Christians have kept the Old Testament in their churches. However, I would also say that their views on God are quite different. Same God, different opinions thereof.

People have different opinions of me. Some think i'm cool, some think I'm a jerk. Either way, they are talking about the same Brian.

Answer 8

Yes.

You might have noticed that they have different personalities.

The Christian bible is made up of the old and new testaments.

The Old Testament books are all copied from the Jewish bible. In these books GOD is very vengeful, speaks to humans, and is somewhat fickle.

The New Testament books are all unique to Christianity. In these books GOD is forgiving.

Trivia: Jesus only appears in the New Testament, in less than half (5) of the books.

Answer 9

Actually Jesus Is God,as Timothy 3:16 states Great is the mystery of godliness that GOD was manifested in the flesh seen of angels,preached unto the gentiles and recieved into glory!

Answer 10

Yes. As far as I know. Our Lord and Savior is Jesus Christ and Eternal God our Father is Jehova. I do believe Jews and Christians worship the same God; if not please let me know.
