Is OT of christianity and Judaism same?

Answer 1

The first five books of the "Old Testament", the books of Moses, form the original Torah and are called Pentateuch by many. The books of the other prophets are called the Nev'im. The Psalms and some of the other books of the Christian "Old Testament" are also acceptable to Jews as central and are called Ketuvim (see link for those listed). These all together are called the Tanakh. So there is a lot in common.

Answer 2

The scriptural OT is the law of Moses; not Genesis-Malachi. The idea given to the Jews via Joshua (Joshua 1) is similar to 2 Tim. 3:16-17 for Christains. The '2 or more witnesses' principle given to the Jews (Deut. 10-20, about three times) is the same as to Christians Matt. 18:16, 2 Cor.13:1. Applied; that tells one the scriptural old testament is the law of Moses, not Genesis-Malachi. (old testament is a synonym for hte law of Moses 2 Cor. 3:13-14 KJV). So please rethink the question above soon!!!

Answer 3

No. Christian versions of the Old Testament are very different from Jewish translated ones. Christian ones add and remove verses, and put in the wrong meaning of words

Answer 4

From "Judaism for Everyone" by Shmuley Boteach:

“Whereas the Christian Bible is a book about God incarnate in a body, the Jewish Bible is a book about man and a history of how he struggled in his developing relationship with God.” “The New Testament is about God (as he incarnated himself on earth), whereas the Hebrew Bible is a chronicle of man, from his earliest efforts to know the invisible God. The Hebrew Bible provides the inspiration that influences men and women of faith to emulate the lives of the great heroes of Jewish history.”

“The ultimate purpose of religion is to impart inspiration – to give man not just the vision of a higher purpose, but the wherewithal to make it a reality; not just to be inspired, but to live an inspired life. Life’s most important ingredient is inspiration, without which man is almost indistinguishable from the inanimate rock upon which he treads. Real inspiration comes, not from being exposed to great ideas, but rather from being exposed to great personalities.”

Some people believe that the principal goal of man is personal salvation. To them man’s first concern must always be to climb the mountain of righteousness for himself, to ensure that his every act and thought is just and pure. Judaism rejects this view. From the vantage point of Judaism, it is not personal salvation but world redemption that is man’s first responsibility. Therefore, when man comes before God to express his deepest desires, when he calls forth his most private thoughts, he must do so in the company of the community. For although his words remain private, his prayers must not be only for himself.

Answer 5

not exactly, there are some differences in the translations.
for example, the 10 commandments are actually different, broken up in different ways.
also some words are translated differently, like the word christians see as "virgin" just means "young woman" in hebrew.
otherwise, they are the same set of books.

Answer 6

Christians follow the New Testament, Jews follow the Old Testament (Torah). Jesus was Jewish as were the first Christians.

Answer 7

The Old Testament is the same as the Jewish Tenach, except for the order in which they put the books.

What Jesus called the Bible, was the Tanach.

Answer 8

Pretty much the same. The order of the books does differ, though.

Answer 9

No, the Old Testament Christians are loony. I live in Mississippi and they DO exist, no matter the protests you'll get over your question.

The Jewish people here are great.

Answer 10

No,

Jews consider the Christian OT to be inaccurate.

They read the Torah.
