what do Christians and Jewish believe in ?

Question

i know they believe in God, but beside this what are the fondamental things they believe in, both of them?
i want current and serious answers.

Answer 1

Christians believe that Jesus [[God]] came down to earth and died on the cross and three days later rose again. And because He did that we can have eternal life in Him. We ask Him to enter our hearts and make us new.

There are two types of Jews, Messianic, and just Jewish.
Messianic believes the same thing Christians do, while Jews believe Jesus is still supposed to come down to earth to die. They don't believe Jesus came yet.

Hope that helped

Answer 2

First, it's either Jews or Jewish people. Jew is a noun, Jewish is an adjective.

Secondly, you ask a very good question. People who know nothing about Judaism will say that the only difference is J*sus. This is not so. I also would like to make a note: there are many different types of Judaism, the main ones being Orthodox, Conservative, and Reform. Their beliefs will differ slightly on these issues but for the most part they are the same or similar. There is no branch of Judaism known as Messianic Judaism. Messianic "Judaism" was started by a Baptist minister for the purpose of fooling Jews into converting to Xtianity. Those people are not Jewish, they are Xtian.

Alright, now. One of the big differences between Xtianity and Judaism are their beliefs in the afterlife. Xtianity concentrates on the afterlife: everything they do they do in preparation for heaven. In Judaism, the emphasis is on the life you're living now and NOT on the afterlife. In Xtianity, the religion is faith. If you believe in something, you will have a good standing in G-d's eyes. In Judaism, the emphasis is on good works and doing your best to follow G-d's laws. For instance, in Xtianity, if you are a 'bad' person (don't give to the poor, lie, steal, etc) but believe in J*sus you will go to heaven because you are saved by his grace. In Judaism, if you don't believe in G-d but are still a good person, you have the same right in the world to come as everyone else.

Judaism's beliefs can be basically (BASICALLY) summed up in something called Rambam's 13 Principles of Faith:

1. Belief in the existence of the Creator, be He Blessed, who is perfect in every manner of existence and is the Primary Cause of all that exists.
2. The belief in G-d's absolute and unparalleled unity.
3. The belief in G-d's noncorporeality, nor that He will be affected by any physical occurrences, such as movement, or rest, or dwelling.
4. The belief in G-d's eternity.
5. The imperative to worship Him exclusively and no foreign false gods.
6. The belief that G-d communicates with man through prophecy.
7. The belief that the prophecy of Moses our teacher has priority.
8. The belief in the divine origin of the Torah.
9. The belief in the immutability of the Torah.
10. The belief in divine omniscience and providence.
11. The belief in divine reward and retribution.
12. The belief in the arrival of the Messiah and the messianic era.
13. The belief in the resurrection of the dead.

Basic Xtian beliefs can be summed up as follows:

1. They believe in J*sus as the son of G-d, born of a virgin and who was crucified on the cross for the sins of the world
2. They believe he was the messiah and will come again
3. They believe he forgives their sins and it is through his grace that they enter heaven

Judaism believes that nobody but you can be responsible for your sins: you can only be forgiven of your sins BY THE PERSON YOU HARMED and then ONLY if you are the one physically asking them for forgiveness. Xtianity believes J*sus died for your sins and you are forgiven for them if you are truly sorry.

I hope this has helped, it is all I can think of right now...feel free to email me if you need any more information or detail on everything I've said.

Peace

Answer 3

A summary of Catholic beliefs is contained in the Nicene Creed (from the year 325):

We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is seen and unseen.

We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, one in being with the Father. Through Him all things were made. For us and our salvation He came down from heaven: by the power of the Holy Spirit, He was born of the Virgin Mary, and became man. For our sake He was crucified under Pontius Pilate; He suffered, died, and was buried. On the third day He rose again in fulfillment of the scriptures: He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end.

We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son. With the Father and the Son, He is worshiped and glorified. He has spoken through the Prophets. We believe in one, holy, catholic, and apostolic Church. We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.

With love in Christ.
