What do Jews believe about atonement that differs from Christians regarding sin?
Wiki User
∙ 12y ago
Christians believe that Jesus atoned for all of his followers' sins.
Jews believe:
- that atonement is between the individual and G-d or whomever they 'sinned' against.
- it is not possible to atone for 'sins' not yet committed.
- it is not possible to atone for the 'sins' committed by another person.
- that atonement is achieved by apologising for your action in combination with resolving to never repeat that action and prayer.
Furthermore, the Christian concept of sin doesn't exist in Judaism. In Judaism, the word in the Tanach (Jewish Bible) that is most often translated as 'sin' is an Archery term that literally means 'to miss the mark'.

I am not helpless to decide whether or not it will have a personal effect on me.
