Answer 1

There are almost no similarities between Christianity and Judaism whatsoever.

1. Belief in a God that is 3-in-1. Christianity. Not Judaism.

2. Belief in Original Sin. Christianity. Not Judaism.

3. Belief in a devil opposed to and working against God. Christianity. Not Judaism.

4. Belief in a god who came down and impregnated a virgin. Christianity. Not Judaism.

5. Belief in a messiah who is a man/god rather than wholly human. Christianty. Not Judaism.

6. Belief in a messiah who serves as a virgin human bloody sacrifice for sin. Christianity. Not Judaism.

7. Belief in an eternal torturous hellfire for non-belivers.
Christianity. Not Judaism.

8. Reincarnation. Judaism. Not Christianity.

9. Belief in the 7 Noahide Laws for non-Jews to merit a place in the World To Come. Judaism. Not Christianity.

10. Belief in Jesus as the Messiah. Christianity. Not Judaism.

11. Belief that all righteous people have a place in the World To Come without having to convert to another religion. Judaism. Not Christianity.

There are many, many more but I have to get going and don't have time to put them all.

Islam actually has more in common with Judaism than Christianity does. Jews and Muslims are actually allowed by Muslim law and by Jewish law to worship in each other's synagogues or mosques in the case that they cannot find one of their own (maybe travelling or whatever).

Neither is allowed to worship in a church because of the idolatry there such as the dead jew hanging from a cross, or the statues, or the concept of a human blood sacrifice like the ancient pagans had.

Islam and Judaism both believe in a God that is indivisible, isn't 3 in one, and both believe that the messiah is entirely human, born in the usual way of a married righteous couple, and is not to be worshipped as God. This is another idolatry for which Jews and Muslims cannot worship in a church.

Anyway, that's just for starters. You'll find that most of the foundational beliefs in Christianity actually came from ancient Zoroastrianism, Mithraism, etc. rather than Judaism. Even though they have the Old Testament tacked on to their New Testament, they made over 30 thousand changes to the Old in order to make it line up with their pagan beliefs found in the New. And then took some "nice" Jewish sayings and principles from it and put it in their New.

Answer 2

Brief history of monotheiesm: the Jews came first, and were by themselves for about 2000. Then a rift developed between a few Jews who thought the messiah had come, and the rest who didn't, and the minority became Christianity. Fast foward, oh, about 700 years if memory serves. Mohammad founded the religion of Islam, and he borrowed A LOT of it from Judaism.

It may suprise you to learn to the religion that is probably closest to Judaism is... Islam. The early Christians were trying to distinguish themselves from the Jews, and so they purposely changed a lot of stuff. Mohammad, on the other hand, was copying the Jews. The two used to be even more similar, but when Mohammad realized that the Jews weren't going to convert to Islam, he got angry and dropped a lot of the overtly Jewish stuff (such as praying in the direction of Jerusalem).

Answer 3

We all have the same Old testament for historical background. Both Jews and Christians are seeking a saviour (except the Jews 2000 y. ago, didn't believe Jesus was, and those who believed in Jesus, gentiles and jews became christian. We worship the same God and many christian branches also follow sabbath, passover, and so on.

As for Islam or Christianity, having things in common with judaism, I'd say perhaps christianity because in many ways Islam went "kinda" against the old text teachings Torah, and so on. But to be honnest I don't know much about Islam, just that historically (in the old testament) it was written they would be enemies with jews.

I believe, if you are serious, you should read the Bible and do research on the matter, you'd be surprise with all you can find, when you study christianity (true one) and judaism, and perhaps Islam too.

Answer 4

Jews could accept Christianity until they started "converting" uncircumcized non-Jews. It was in the 4th century and the Nicene creed when the final break took place. With the creation of the Nicene creed, all Christians were required to believe in the divinity of Jesus. To a Jew, the belief that God can be human is the ultimate heresy!

Islam has much more in common with Judaism than does Christianity. Muslims do not believe in the divinity of Jesus.

Answer 5

In the first few decades after Jesus' death the Christians were mainly Jews and were a sect of Judaism- in the centuries after that the majority of Jews that had followed Christianity left it to return to Judaism as its theology drifted aweay from judaism, adopting Pagan ideas and symbology, until the Rabbis finally closed the synagogues to Christians.

Christianity is totally divorced from Judaism theologically
1) The belief that God would physically manifest to produce a child is the opposite of Jewish belief
2) The belief that God is made up of different beings is the opposite of Jewish belief in the single, undivided nature of God.
3) The belief that any being could set itself up in opposition to God (i.e. the devil) is the opposite of Jewish belief in which God is the sole and only authority and author of events in the world
4) The idea of eternal damnation for people who err (Hell), is the opposite of Jewish belief in which God is loving and always forgives.
5) The idea that God would ever cancel his convenant, after explicitly stating it was eternal, and thus turning God into a liar, is the opposite of Jewish belief
6) The idea that God could ever make a mistake (i.e. that the law he gave was too difficult to follow and was thus replaced with the sacrifice of his "son") is the opposite of the Jewish belief that God is perfect and never makes mistakes.
7) The idea that God can make mistakes is also the opposite of the Jewish belief that God is eternal and across all of time (God is, God was, God will be) and thus knows the consequences of every action and can thus never makes mistakes or not know the results of something he does.

Answer 6

Sarah, I can answer the first one well. I am not sure about your second question.

The similarities between Christians and Jews are : Both believe in ONE GOD! ...Both subscribe to the teachings in the Old Testament or the Old "Covenant." Especially the first five books of the Bible. Both believe in God as creator.

As for Islam. I do not believe that Allah is the same God we worship. I do not believe that Mohammad was a prophet! He was more into murdering the non-believers! I am not sure what we would have in common as they see killing as a part of their lifestyle and duty! Neither the Jewish or Christians see this at all!

I hope I have helped a tiny bit!

Answer 7

I can answer you like this, the judaism was before christianism, Constantino and his mans create the christianism based on the practices of judaism, like for example the pass over, this day is celebrate by the jewish people two thousand years before jesus, and I can give alot of examples and similarities , I think that christianism it fake.

Answer 8

Judaism was earlier than Christianity and share the Old Testament. Islam recognizes Christ, but as a prophet, not divine.

Answer 9

Judaism and Christianity are basically the same with Judaism following the old testament and the Christians both old and new.

Answer 10

Jewish Answer: Jews do NOT see Jesus as a prophet nor a learned teacher JUDAISM/ISLAM - says that no human can ever die for the sins of others CHRISTIANITY (including ‘messianics’) - says that Jesus died for the sins of mankind JUDAISM/ISLAM - says that all humans are born pure, and innocent CHRISTIANITY (including ‘messianics’) - some say that all humans are born with 'original sin'. JUDAISM - a “virgin birth”/offspring w/human women is a pagan myth mainstay – G-d doesn’t become human CHRISTIANITY/ISLAM (including ‘messianics’) - says that Mary gave birth, though a virgin JUDAISM - says that the Jewish Messiah won’t need a 'second coming' CHRISTIANITY/ISLAM (including ‘messianics’) - says that Jesus will have a 'second coming' JUDAISM/ISLAM - says that every human should speak directly to G-d CHRISTIANITY (including ‘messianics’) - Jesus claims in the 'new testament' that the 'only way' to G-d is via him and often pray to Jesus before G-d JUDAISM/ISLAM - says G-d is one, indivisible, cannot be separated into three aspects/incarnations CHRISTIANITY (including ‘messianics’) - some sects speaks of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit JUDAISM - says that we are ALL equally G-d's children CHRISTIANITY (including ‘messianics’) - says that Jesus was 'god's son' above all others ISLAM - some Muslims claim that the prophets are perfect and have never sinned, others believe the prophets sinned and repented JUDAISM - has no concept of 'hell' CHRISTIANITY (including ‘messianics’) - *some* Christians believe non-believers go to 'hell' ISLAM - most Jews and Christians and all non-Jews/non-Christians go to hell though some state that only Allah knows who will end up in hell JUDAISM - has no 'devil', the Jewish 'Satan' is just an ordinary angel, under G-d's control CHRISTIANITY (including ‘messianics’) - describes 'Satan' as a devil and 'fallen' angel ISLAM - Satan was a jinn created from fire JUDAISM - the 'messiah' will be a normal, mortal man who must fulfill all the Jewish messianic prophecies in one normal, mortal lifetime CHRISTIANITY (including ‘messianics’) - Jesus was the 'messiah' and will fulfill the prophecies when he 'returns' ISLAM - believes Jesus was a prophet, not a “son of G-d”. Mohammad is the last prophet JUDAISM - says that the righteous of ALL faiths will reach 'gan eden' or 'garden of eden'. CHRISTIANITY (including ‘messianics’) - some Christians insist that only those who 'know Christ' can reach heaven ISLAM - some Jews and Christians will reach Paradise, Muslims reach paradise and have it better than Jews and Christians. Many Muslims believe that G-d judges all equally. JUDAISM - The “law”/covenant is seen as a blessing, not a burden that can never be fulfilled. Being perfect isn’t the point in Judaism. Being aware of the 613 commandments, we have G-d on our minds almost hourly. That is part of the covenant, we obey G-d’s laws and G-d ensures Judaism will survive forever. CHRISTIANITY (including ‘messianics’) - Views the commandments as restrictive and impossible (except the 10 in stone). It is believed in Christianity that the death of Jesus was necessary because living by the laws is impossible and view the commandments as something of a curse. ISLAM - Views religious laws as part of the religion and of being observant and submissive to G-d, much as Jews do. JUDAISM - forbids Jews from trying to convert anyone to Judaism CHRISTIANITY (including ‘messianics’) - believes in actively 'witnessing' and encouraging people to convert to Christianity ISLAM - all must convert to Islam or pay a fine to remain Christian or Jewish and live as 2nd class citizens (all others must convert or die) JUDAISM - The Torah remains unchanged CHRISTIANITY (including ‘messianics’) - differences from the original Torah ISLAM - claims the Torah and Christian bible were corrupted (with no proof) JUDAISM/ISLAM - no concept of original sin CHRISTIANITY (including ‘messianics’) - some sects of Christianity believe in “original sin” to justify the need for a savior. Others believe that humankind cannot keep from sinning and requires a savior to cleanse them. Thanks to MP with some twists by QP and me
