Christianity and Judaism

Christianity vs Judaism



Christianity and Judaism share historical roots, both have a closer relationship.These two religions diverge in fundamental ways. Judaism places emphasis on actions, focusing primary questions on how to respond to the "eternal" Covenant their nation received at Mount Sinai. Christianity places emphasis on belief and practice, focusing questions on how each person receives the Covenant offered by Jesus.






Christianity forms a part of the monotheistic religions and represents the world´s largest religion. It's followers are called Christians and they believe in the teachings of Jesus of Nazareth also known as Jesus Christ as described in the New Testament. Christians believe that Jesus is the son of God and see him as a teacher which is the example for a devotional life. Jesus Christ is the revealer of God and the saviour of humanity as he was crucifixed in order to bring salvation from sin.






Christianity has a close relationship with Judaism, both historically and theologically. Jesus, the twelve disciples, the author of most of the New Testament, and the members of the earliest Christian churches were all Jews. Jesus' family followed Jewish customs and Jesus frequently quoted the Hebrew Bible. Jesus' followers believed him to be the messiah, a Jewish figure predicted in the Jewish Bible.
Judaism is a monotheist religion just as Christianism. Jews believe in Yahve. Jews say that pronouncing his name is disrespectful and therefore they call him Adonay which means "my lord". Jews the same as Christians say that God created the world and everything that exists.



The 10 commandments of Christians and the TorĂ  of the Jews are a list of rules which a Jew or a Christian have to obey in order to maintein their faith.
