Christians are different from Jews because they asserted that Jesus is the Messiah and developed a new theology to buttress that assertion. Additionally, most Jews refused to accept the argument since they considered Jesus' failure as a Messianic Candidate quite clear.

∙ 11y agoChristians believe Jesus is the Messiah, as well as God's one and only son incarnate.
The Jews do not agree, and are still waiting for the promised Messiah, who (in Judaism) will be fully human.

∙ 8y agoThe core message of Christianity is: "God made Himself incarnate through His Son, the Messiah, who sacrificed Himself on Earth as atonement for all of humanity's sins." None of that has anything to do with Judaism.
God, in Judaism, does not take physical form or self-incarnate. The human sacrifice of Jesus and communion is at fundamental odds with the Torah's prohibition on Human Sacrifice, its prohibition of blood consumption, its prohibition on cannibalism, and its prohibition on expiation for another's sins. There is no verse in the Old Testament that explains that one of the purposes of the Messiah is to die for sin at all (never mind for the sins of other people), even though there are numerous explicit requirements that Jews point to the Messiah needing to perform. The Jewish Messiah is to be an Earthly King. As a result, a person claiming to be God himself is instantly recognized as not being the Messiah in Judaism.
