Do Christians and Jews worship the same God?

[mizzdy]

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.

what rules and laws will He bring?

Since I see the millennial reign as physical, the temple with priests and sacrifices added in, I believe He will bring with Him His instructions, bascially the same set of rules that He gave in the first place. If theres a temple with priests it kinda leans towards the same basic set of laws that He established in the first place. There will be those changed and unchanged when He returns yet Hebrews and Jeremiah tell us that the laws will be written on our hearts, just as they are being written on our hearts now. Why would He bring another set of laws? The difference this time around man is not going to be in charge He will be ruling and satan will be out of the way no more excuses one either obeys and follows or one dies in the second death. Thats how I see happening.

so you think that even though the old testament laws were types and shadows, we're going to do them again? what will they be types and shadows for this time? or is it the ten commandments you are speaking of? will we really have to be told not to kill or covet? i don't really think that will be the case.

For those changed at His coming all His Torah will be written on their hearts, that is what we are told correct? What are His laws? thats something you need to decide for yourself. I believe the 10 sum up all the others and the two sum up them all, so I follow all the commands meant for me. But there will be people living on the earth that will need instruction, will need His Torah to live by and that is what people will be going to Zion for to learn the whole truth and how to live righteously in it. If there are sacrifices there are laws, where there is a King and ruler there are laws. And I do not think the laws were types and shadows so much as they are ways of living when we walk in His Torah we are walking in the light of His words, sacrifices are types and shadows, the Feast are all types and shadows, I still keep the Feasts and the Sabbath I do not think they were ever abolished but given a deeper and richer meaning by Him as He showed us how we can walk in them also with the guideance of the Spirit.
