Why do some Christians claim that Jews worship the same God as Christians.?

Question

I know Jews and Muslims do not believe in a Trinity. They Also believe Jesus Christ is not God nor son of God. What's your opinion?

JewishGirl: can you please add little more details to it?

Answer 1

Jews, Christians, and Muslims too all claim ancestry to the same single man, Abraham. So we all worship the same "God of Abraham".
Personally, I'm Christian. Enough said.

Answer 2

Not all Jews deny Jesus as the Christ nor do all Jews deny the Trinity. The first Christians were all Jewish. The Romans considered Christianity to just be a sect of Judism. In Genesis (which is a Jewish book) the Bible says, "Let US create man in OUR image, according to OUR likeness." Notice the plural nature of the one true God of the Universe. This is from Genesis 1:26.
By the way I go to a Messianic Church where both Jews and Christians worship together. These are Jews who now recognize that there Messiah was and is Yeshua (Jesus).

Answer 3

There is a lot of confusion with the Trinity concept. This was legislated after Christ's death with the formation of the Catholic Church for political control of the 300 Christian sects and to end the worship of the Roman/Greek gods & goddesses. If you believe that Heavenly Father, Christ and the Holy Ghost are separate beings and that Christianity is the continuation of the covenant with Abraham, Issac and Jacob then we are worshiping the same God. There are a good number of Christian Churches who do not believe in the Trinity as one person who chooses 3 different forms to manifest in according to the need, but rather believe in 3 separate and distinct beings working for a singular purpose. Many Christian Churches still continue the Catholic teachings of one being in the Trinity.

When I study the scriptures (Old and New Testament), it is plain to me that 3 separate beings exist. The baptism of Christ is a prime example because I don't think Christ would seek to deceive people by being a ventrilioquist and illustionist. If He left His body to be the voice in the Heavens and to fly down as a dove, then it would have been noticed by John and recorded more plainly in the scriptures.

Answer 4

You do have it a bit confused. The God of the Jews is the same God of us all and Christian also believe that Christ is the son of God, and the Trinity is false but the Triune is the most correct. Also I can see why you see Jesus in the way that you do, As an messenger or a prophet and I respect you views. But to Christians Jesus is much more than that and they don't ask you to believe but they want you to respect their views as well ok. And yes Jesus is not God.

Answer 5

Jews were actually the first who got revelation about that God is only One. They had practised monotheism.
Then later when prophet Jesus came to Jews , he confirmed that God is only One, same God Jews knew and worshipped.

Unfortunately the modern source of Christian teaching is not exactly the same which was given to Jesus by God. So after many changes followers of Jesus teaching had created the script which is New Testament of Bible.. Revelation which was given to Moses automatically was named as Old Testament. Christians created doctrine of Trinity as per which the initial worshipping of God of Jews had become of worshipping DIFFERENT GOD.

But it is not true.. Jews worships same God with Christians...

Muslims are still worship the same God, the only one God, God of Jews and Christians. I believe Muslims are very close to Judaism in their belief.

Answer 6

i would have to type for hours to give you an in depth response to your question.. i don't feel the need because the bible that Christians use is easily found and you can read why yourself... all Christians believe that the God of the Jewish people is their God as well.. the Jewish people themselves believe a Messiah will come to save and deliver them out of all harms sent against them.. the difference is as far as the Orthodox Jews and Christians are concerned is that Christians believe Jesus was and is that Messiah and the Jews do not yet believe (though more and more are believing now) as for Muslims their God is differant than the Jewish God because the Jewish God has a chosen people (Jews) the Muslim God's prophet mohamad (spelling is probably wrong here) declared that jehad was to be done on all Jews and they should be wiped out as well as Christians.. thereby setting the God of Jews and Christains as a separate and different God that the one for Muslims

Answer 7

I do not believe in the trinity but I do think Jesus was divine and was Gods first creation .Secondly Jehovah is the God Jews worship not partnered with Jesus and the Holy spirit in a pagan trinity, so if they both worship Jehovah they are worshipping the same God are they not.?

Answer 8

Jews and Christian do worship the same God it is the God of Abraham.
It is that they (the Jews) have rejected Jesus as the Christ, that's all!

Answer 9

The Jews worship the head of the Christian God trinity (Father, Son, Holy Spirt).
The Jews worship God the Father.

Answer 10

True Christians DO worship the same God as the Jewish people. The sad part is that most Jewish people do not recognize Jesus as the Messiah and because Jesus is the ONLY mediator between God and man, they cannot be reconciled to God without his help.
