“Judaism is the oldest of the three great monotheistic religions. Judaism’s view of history as rendered in the Torah some 2,600 years ago, provided a basis for Christianity and later Islam. The Israeli leader Moses, who received the Lord’s laws atop Mount Sinai is a revered prophet in all three faiths.”(T. Cahill p.2)

Jews believe in one God who is Creator, Deliverer, and Lord of history. They also believe in Jesus as an important prophet, but not as a divine person. It is their belief that His death has no saving effect and that he is not the Messiah. The Hebrew Bible,

Christians believe in one God who is Creator and Lord of everything. He exists as Triune God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Jesus is the Son of God with two natures, human and divine. It is through Jesus Christ the Messiah and His willing sacrifice that we can be forgiven of our sins because of His death on the cross at Calvary. Our sin separates us from God and Jesus is the bridge that brings us back to God through a personal faith in Christ. Our salvation or disbelieving in Christ, determines our life after death in Heaven or Hell. The Christian’s faith relies solely on the Holy Bible for their source of authority on faith and practice.

“In Israel, 2,000 years ago, a child was born to a Jewish couple. Jesus grew to be a charismatic preacher, gathering disciples as he went. This Son of God performed miracles, they said: raising the dead, calming the waters of Galalee. Jerusalem’s authorities, perceived a threat and had Jesus executed. His followers, taking up the cross, built the world’s largest religion in His name.” (T. Cahill p. 4)
