Comparison between Judaism and ChristianityNameInstitutionChristianity and Judaism are two religions that share an origin. Abraham is the father of faith of both Christians and Judaists. The two religions are based on the Old Testament; however, Judaism refused to recognize the New Testament. It is said that a Jew accepts Christianity and then becomes complete. However, if a pagan accepts Christianity, he converts because he does not have the basis provided by Judaism. Both Christianity and Judaism believe in the existence of heaven and hell. Both religions follow the same code of ethics and believe that God had the same plan to save the fallen race. The two religions also preach the sinfulness of humanity, its consequences, and God's righteous judgment (Avery-Peck & Neusner 2009). However, while Christianity and Judaism have many similarities, they have a wide range of differences in their beliefs, teachings, and practices. One of the major differences between Christianity and Judaism is based on their belief in God. According to Judaism, there is only one supreme God who is the true creator and existed before the earth and will continue to exist. There is no one who ever existed before God. The Christian belief in God is different from the Jewish belief in that there is only one God who works together with the son and the spirit. Although Jesus is the son of God, he is a God in his own right. Christianity's concept of God is that He is omnipotent but at the same time a merciful and forgiving God. Judaism does not believe in the holy trinity. Furthermore, the two religions have differences regarding their beliefs about salvation (Avery-Peck & Neusner 20...... middle of document ......aism, polygamy was permitted long before the 13th century. However , Judaists practice monogamy in the present day. It has been observed that Christianity and Judaism have many similarities which stem from the fact that they share a common origin. However, they differ greatly in their concept of God, salvation, marriage, rules followed , etc. rituals and their beliefs about the final judgment and having one's name written in the book of life.
