Do Christians and Jews worship the same God?

[Byron A]

I was reading this topic from the Controversial issues forum:

One thing wyguy said in this topic was:

Christians believe Jesus is God.

Muslims do not.

Same God?

Not a chance.

And everyone agreed with this. But here is the rub. Jews also don't believe that Jesus is God. So by this logic, Jews also worship a different God than us Christians.

Your thoughts?

We both worship Adonai, Ha Shem.

They just don't know who He really is.

It's like the Ancient Israelites who worshiped God in the High Places. They were violating a direct command of God by worshiping Him in a place other than the Temple. What that worship was like I don't know, but their worship was profane on account of being done against Torah.

The Jewish religion that developed after the destruction of the Temple is contrary to Torah, for it is a works-based and not an atonement-based religion.

Christians and Jews DO worship the same God....they just don't recognize Jesus for who He really is. That will change down the road a bit.

So then, do you disagree with the logic expressed in the quote that I cited above?

Since our God comes from their bible, I'm not sure how you could come to any other conclusion. Maybe the better question would be "Do all christians worship the God of the Jewish Bible"?

The answers might surprise many here....

I see Christianity as having divorced itself of anything Jewish in the early centuries and the "Jesus" presented was not related to the Messiah of Israel.

Most christians who are engaged with the Lord enough to visit a discussion board have probably educated themselves so that's not directed at anyone here....but there are churches teaching "liberation theology" and other such blasphemous doctrines that have totally different Jesus than the Jewish one.

That is sad but I do share your thoughts here. So many ask if the Jews will even know the Messiah, thats also true of some christians, they will reject Him when He comes again considering that He will bring with Him the same rules and laws that many reject are for us today. I onced asked a bunch of people what will the millennial kingdoms laws look like and none suggested that He brings laws with Him for the saints, most of what I got was some idea of living in love.

shalom,

that is a slippery slope to judge by....

I agree that many christians have a skewed idea of what He looks and acts like, but His sheep hear His voice. And we aren't justified by the works of the Law, so.....

First of all, Muslims worship a pagan god called allah. So, Christians and Muslims are not on the same page from the get go.

Jews and Christians worship YHVH. We believe that Jesus/Y'shua is also YHVH, the Jews do not. So it is really not same comparison between how Jews and Christians and Christians and Muslims worship.

Jews and Christians both accept the Old Testament, where as Muslims ascribe to the Koran.

Sorry if my post came off as any kind of judgmental anything just making an observation and expressing some things I have run across, my apologies to anyone who thought I was being judgmental in anyway.

I completely agree that either keeping the law or not, has anything to do with our salvation, that was never its intent at least I don't see it that way.
