Jews vs. Christians - Is there a basic difference in the morality base of these 2 religions?

Answer 1

Jews believe that the Torah outlines the basic rules for which one should live. The bottom line is that G-d told us to so we do it. Morality actually has nothing to do with it. Now in turn, it is believed that G-d wouldn't tell us something wrong, so we conclude that the rules in the Torah are actually good. There are rewards for following the rules but these rewards were initially designed to be given in ones lifetime. As Judaism evolved the concept of heaven the idea of an afterlife reward. However, the concept of heaven is not as explicitly explained or as integral in Judaism as it is in Christianity.

Answer 2

Christianity reckognizes the Jewish law but is above the law in love. Christianity is the only positive amoral religion mankind has. By this I mean that it is amoral that a perfect person suffered and died to free sinners. It is also amoral that sinners are redeemed by no work of their own, the payment is taken care of. Christianity recognizes the Justice of God and the Grace. Judaism reckognizes the Justice of God with hints toward His Grace but not a full understanding.

Answer 3

Christian means a follower of the Messiah-who came as a Jew-the laws of morality are the same-yet to the believer in Jesus-they have power over the mind to control their thoughts, thus when Jesus says lust is adultry against God, or hate is murder in the heart, they have the calling that Jewish people that believed in the comming Messiah, and his fulfillment in Jesus do. Yet the cerimonial laws of Judaism was given specifically to the Jewish people to be kept and to guide them to the promised Messiah. Isaiah 9:6 the child to be the Son given, the mighty God and the prince of peace..
Isaiah 52:13-53:12 To be the exalted one. To first be marred more than any man, and to lay down his life to make atonement for our sins.

The way I came to know him is by believing what he spoke to us from heaven (Revelation1:1 chapter 1 verse 1 & 3:19&20 "I love you and ask you to repent of your sins (even one lie) quickly. Behold I stand at your heart door and knock If you hear my word and open the door, I will come in and be your friend."
so I prayed "Jesus I am sorry for my sins, come into my heart and help me, be my friend, amen."
Its all good and now as a Jew who has come to know Jesus is my Messiah, savior, and best friend giving me joy beyond words and power to live right.

have a great day, David

Answer 4

If you look at the laws of the Torah, there are many rules that simply do not and cannot apply to us today. That doesn't make the laws of the Torah irrelevant, but we have to use our god-given common sense and be motivated by goodness and love rather than blindly forcing people to follow blanket laws.

christianity claims that jesus fulfilled the jewish Law and defeated death; defeated hell and judgement.

we no longer are bound to the jewish Law, but bound to the law of love and grace taught to us through jesus. therefore we can no longer us the law to judge and condemn others, but rather must live in the spirit of forgiveness and mercy.

Answer 5

Messianic Jews won't be "jews" (component to recent Judaism, you men carry on with the commandments of guy, it somewhat is an abomination) yet we are Israel, in contrast to messiah-rejecting "jews".

Answer 6

Christians believe in Jesus and the NT while the Jews don't.

Answer 7

Jews believe that you must follow the law physically, while Christians say you not only follow it physically, but also mentally/spiritually

Example

Jew: Do not murder
Christian: Do not murder, but also don't hate someone because it is the same as murder

Answer 8

Nope. We are the only 2 that worship the same God of the bible.
