Judaism....Christianity....are Jews and Christians equal in God's eyes and what makes them equal or different?

Question

Are practicing, faithful Jews (those that follow Judaism) equal in God's eyes as the practicing, faithful Christians?

Answer 1

John 3;16 states that God loves the entire world,(all mankind).
So that means Jews, Christians, Muslims, all etc. But there is no question that God preferred the Jew above everyone else. It is the Jew from whom the rest of the world has received monotheism, the Bible, and Messiah. Ps 122;6.
I Cr 13;8a

Answer 2

Judaism teaches that people of all religions and all cultures are equal in God's eyes, and that each has their own path to follow in order to be Righteous. For Gentiles, that is the path of the 7 Universal (Noahide) laws. For Jews it is the paths of the entire 613. It's much easier on the Gentiles, most of whom are probably following the paths of the Righteous Gentile without even realising it already - regardless of what religion they are! http://www.noahide.org

Answer 3

Well that rather depends on whom you ask, doesn't it?

Judaism teaches that everyone is equal; we are all children of G-d. We don't believe that ours is the *only* way; it is merely 'one' way. We believe that EVERYONE reaches heaven if they lead a righteous life here on earth, their religion makes no difference.

Now, if you ask a Christian, I presume the answer will be different, since Christianity teaches that anyone who rejects Jesus burns in eternal hell, no matter how moral or good they are.

Answer 4

Sure.. but its because they are all practicing.

Some day both sides will get it.

Answer 5
