Best Answer

No, but they are quite similar.

The Christian Old Testament without the Apocrypha contains the same books as the Jewish Bible in a different order and based on a different translation, so some important words are quite different. In addition, the Jewish Books of Daniel and Esther are shorter than their Christian counterparts.

What are Jews not allowed to do?

Originally, (before Nazi power) Jews were treated as normal citizens of Poland, Germany etc. In the mid 30s the Nazis forced Jews to wear gold stars to show they were Jews and they were not allowed to use the same facilities/entertainment Christians were. Then they were all forced to live in a designated area often referred to as the "ghettos". And eventually where all taken to concentration camps, made to work for nothing, and they eventually started "exterminating" them. And then WWII was over and what was left of the Jews were freed and started new lives for themselves.


How are Christians the same as Jewish people?

They both believe God is the one true God and the Christians use the same scriptures as the Hebrews except the Christians also have what is called a New Testament which tells about Jesus and the start of the Christian Church and the Gospel message. Christians believe Jesus is the Messiah whereas the Hebrew people do not believe Jesus is the Messiah. There are Hebrew people who do believe Jesus is the Messiah.Both meet and worship God and they live what they believe.ANSWERI agree with the above, but it is missing something. Jesus was born a Jewish person. He observed the Sabbath and other Jewish traitions. But the Jews did not like his ideas so they crucified him. After years the apostles were walking through Antioch and the people said they were Christ-like and that when they were being called Christians. So Jesus inspired a religion and because Christ was of Jewish origin Christianity is based on Judaism.With Judaism the wager for sin is death. Christians can obtain repentance and achieve salvation.Jewish AnswerOn a religious basis, Christians and Jews have almost nothing in common. The only commonality is that the Christian Old Testament was based on the Jewish Bible, the Tanach.Judaism teaches that all men are born good and innocent and that faith is meaningless without action. The Christian concept of 'sin' doesn't exist in Judaism. If we act against HaShem or another person, we have to seek the forgiveness of the wounded party and resolve to not repeat our negative actions.
