The amount of lies and stories

The Jewish religion still expects a messiah. Christians claim He already arrived in Jesus. The Jewish religion is the Old Testament while Christianity is the New Testament. Therefore, Christianity is the fulfillment of the Jewish religion and could not exist without the Jewish religion.

Christians acknowledge Jesus as the Messiah and the formation of a new covenant in his blood and (typically) do not observe (some of) the Torah, while most Jews deny Jesus as the Messiah and the formation of a new covenant and continue to observe (most of the) Torah as a badge of the (old) covenant. Both believe in the same God (YHWH), but Christians are typically trinitarian and acknowledge Jesus as divine.
Originally, Judaism and Christianity were basically the same thing, the latter being a subbranch of the former.
Even today there are some Messianic Jews (Christian Jews) who continue to observe Torah, Jewish holidays, and sometimes remain unitarian (i.e. deny Jesus' divinity).

In some cases nothing at all. There are Jewish Christians who follow both religions.
Christianity has become so many different expressions. It started out totally Jewish. Cultures changed that. And now...

Jewish people don't believe that Jesus was the Messiah, but most Christians do. I personally don't think that Jesus was the Messiah because I don't believe that he died on the cross (long story). I do, however, believe that Jesus was sent to Earth by God as a divine messanger to spread the word of an all loving God.

Jews don't use the New Testament and do not believe that Jesus Christ is the Lord's son or our Savior. They think he's just a really good guy and a prophet (not so sure about the prophet thing, though, sorry). They still believe in "the promise" though, you know, the promise that God will send his son as our Savior, they just don't think Jesus was it.

Belief that Jesus is the son of god. Christians believe the Messiah has already come. Jews are still waiting for a Messiah.

Not Much. We worship the same God. The only difference is that Christians recognize Jesus as the Messiah, while the Jews are still waiting for their Messiah. They will be shocked when Jesus comes back to save them.

New Testament, Jews don't have it, Christians do.
Jews believe the Messiah is yet to come.
Christians believe that Jesus filled the roll of the Messiah.

Christians solely rely on Jesus Christ as the way the truth and life and that Jesus is One in the three. Trinity. And was the only begotton Son of God. Jews just see Him as a prophet and you dont need jesus as their savior.
Thats why Im a christian.

Christians believe everything the Jews do except Jesus being their Savior. Fulfilling Bible prophesy "He came to his own and they did not accept him". "The corner stone the chief builders rejected". King David wrote of Jesus but Jews do not see it.
But Some Jews see and believe in Jesus and are a blessing from God to the earth.
