Do Christians and Jews worship the same God?

Question

I am kind of more interested in the Jewish side of this issue, I mean from the Jewish point of view.

Thank very much in advance.

Answer 1

Jews do not believe Jesus was the messiah. Christians do.
Christians also believe that Jesus was one of the three forms of G-d. Jews do not.

Therefore when a Christian is praying to "Our Father who art in Heaven" they are praying to the same G-d as the Jews. But when a Christian starts praying to Jesus as one of the forms of G-d, they are praying to something the Jews do not accept as G-d, therefore not the same.

So it depends upon how the Christians are praying. They may or not be praying to the same G-d as the Jews accept.

Answer 2

i think we do!
but jews do not believe Jesus is a god. or the messiah. Well most of them do.
but technically we are Gentiles in their Eyes, or rather christians are gentiles.
I was sitting on the hill at the wester wall and i heard a group of people singing hymns. And until i looked and saw that they were all jewish, I could not tell any difference is the praise and worship in that song between jew or christian.
We "gentiles" and jews alike Supposedly worship the same God of abraham but interpretation and tradition separate both groups this is why there is Not so much unity between the two faiths.

Answer 3

Tough question...simple answer is that Christians would like to say we do, Jews would like to say we do, but if they are honest, cant. You see, according to the mass understanding of Christianity, three things must be true and each of these 3 things goes directly against basic tenets of Judaism:

1. The Gospels constitute a valid communication between God and man.

The gospels, though, include all sorts of statements which obsolesce the Jewish bible and the unique status of Jews. Thus, God must be said to have changed his mind, which, according to Judaism, he does not do.

2. The devil/Satan exists as a contrary force.

In Judaism, no angel has the free will to battle with God and there is no other force which can challenege the divine. To have a Satan which is a fallen angel who could have rebelled is anti-Jewish.

3. God became a man in some sense, bled and died.

God states clearly that he is not a man or son of man in any sense.


So while Christianity sees itself as worshippng the same God, Jews look and say "you can say that, but your theology necessitates a different notion of the godhead."

Answer 4

YHWH is the Jewish term used for God. Jesus worshiped the same God they did. Christians follow Jesus. Yes they do

Answer 5

Not exactly. Christians believe in the Trinity. This means that God is comprised of the Father, the Son (Jesus Christ), and the Holy Spirit.

Jews believe that Jesus lived on earth, but they don't believe he is the Son of God.

Christians believe that the Old Testament is a history book and the two commandments in the New Testament are how we should live our lives today. The Jews don't believe in the New Testament and are still waiting on their Messiah.

Since Jews don't believe that Jesus died on the cross for their sins, they aren't saved and God hasn't reserved a place in Heaven for them to spend eternity.

Answer 6

The Lord of Abraham
The Ahura of Zoroaster
The Eishwar of Krishna
The Jehovah of Moses
The God of Jesus
The Allah of Muhammad
is the AlMighty One Alone God Only who is the Creator and Nourisher of us all.
THE SUPREME LORD

Who said in the Godly voice
“I, and I alone, am God
and all other gods
(or goddesses and demigods)
are unreal.”
(Bible Duet. 32:39)

“Worship no god but Me”
(Exodus 20:3)

“Worship no god but Me”,
clearly means that:
“There is no god but Me.”

The same Words has been revealed by the Lord through the Lord’s Revelation, Al-Quran:

“There is no god but Allah
(The One Alone God)”

so, PEACE here in this world and there in the Hereafter, can be ensured through obedience of the Lord, the Holy One alone; in accordance with the Lord’s commandments, given in all the Scriptures, already, possessed by the people of the Scriptures.

Therefore, the Lord of Moses (PBUH) and the Lord of Muhammad (PBUH) and the Lord of Jesus (PBUH) and the Lord of Krishna (PBUH) is the same, Alone Lord who is known as Our God, the One and the Alone and the Absolute Holy.

Answer 7

Yes and No.

while we both see G-d as the creator of the Universe. We disagree on his nature.

You see it as a compound trinity. To the Jew this is unthinkable. To say that G-d has parts is the equivalent to polytheism.

So in genneral yes same G-d, but a big difference over his nature.

Answer 8

Christians talk to God the Father thru Jesus.

Jews talk to the Lord (Jesus).

Both have the '2 or more witnesses' principle.
Applied to scripture; the old testament is the law of Moses not Genesis-Malachi.

Answer 9

You did say "worship" and not believe. For we christians believe in the same God. The God of Abraham, Issac and Jacob.

But, worship, No! Jesus said; I am the way, the truth and the life. No man cometh to the Father but my me.

Answer 10

yes, they do. the difference is that as a Christian, i believe that Jesus Christ was the Messiah, and Jews think the Messiah hasnt come. i believe my sins are already forgiven, but from a Jewish point of view u still need to atone for your sins.
