What is the differance from a jew and a christian?
93084
Christians believe Jesus Christ is the messiah, Jews are still waiting for the messiah to come.  \nOversimplified, but true.

They are both about the same. They both hate Jews, they both think they are superior to everybody else and that they are the only ones who deserve to live free. They both tend to be very ignorant of everything including what is supposed to be their own beliefs and sacred texts.

hi. the answer is... because a convert to another religion, i.e. christianity, has deliberately and specifically rejected the the jewish religion and people, by actively leaving it and joining another, whereas most "jewish" atheists have not. to us, a "jewish" christian (including "messianic jews") is a plain-old christian like any other, but a "jewish" atheist is just a non-practicing jew. \n\nalso, there ARE many christians, even who are not at all jewish under jewish law and never have been, who are eligible to go to israel under the law of return. the law of return says that not only jews, but non-jewish children, grandchildren, in-laws, etc of jews can immigrate as well. there are two main reasons - the first is to  keep families from being broken, and the second is to protect non-jews who are at risk of being persecuted for their jewish background/heritage safe as well.\n\nhowever, israel rejects applications from actual jewish people who convert to another religion to immigrate under the law of return. to them there is a difference between an innocent christian child getting sent to a death camp in nazi germany because his grandfather was a jew, and a fully jewish person who, aware that converting to another religion will make him forfeit his claim to jewish peoplehood, does it anyway. converts out of judaism have to immigrate to israel the regular way, by moving in, spending a couple years there, and then applying for citizenship. in the unlikely scenario, though, where some new fascist regime persecuting jews surfaced and converts out of judaism were being persecuted as jews, israel would let them in. but that scenario is pretty unlikely. in this day and age, most of the jews have already fled the countries that persecute jews and are now already in israel.

The Messianic Jews meld Christian theology with Jewish traditions. They consider themselves Jews who believe in Jesus Christ but mainstream Jewish denominations do not consider them such.\n\nThey attend church on Saturday, the seventh day of the fourth commandment, and they meet in synagogues.

The first Christians was Messianic Jews, a very small jewish cult.  it wasn't until several decades later that the messianic jews started to call themselves Christian.\nMessianic Jews still exist today and they worship Christ but follow the old Jewish ways.  Christians don't follow the old jewish ways!

A Christian is one who follows Christ. Catholics are Christians but not all Christians are Catholic. A Christian can be Catholic, Methodist, Baptist, Presbyterian, etc.

A few differences. Most Christians believe similar things unlike the FALSE religion of those who knock on doors.\n\nSay no more.

I'm not a Messianic Jew (not jewish at all), but I think this is a false delineation -- Christianity and Messianic Jews agree on the divinity and purpose of Christ.\n\nIt's just that Judiasm is not just a "religion" but also a culture -- and a very rich one at that.\n\nBy becoming "Christian," Messianic Jews run the risk of rejection from the mainstream Jewish culture, but they still want to preserve the rich heritage that belongs to them -- and since they were brought up in that Jewish heritage, they have an approach and background to God that a non-Jewish Christian does not have. \n\nThey have some really interesting insight that the mainstream Christian church does not have. (After all, Jesus was Jewish and grew up in a Jewish culture, and the Old and New Testaments are best understood from that angle -- whereas modern Christians have very little understanding of the Jewish context of Jesus' life.)\n\nIt's probably FAR too simple to view them as a "denomination;" but I am saying that it's not really that Messianic Jews and Christians differ in basic belief about Jesus, but rather in how their faith is practiced and what knowledge and history they bring to the table.

Do you mean Hebrews or Israelites, Jews an a Israelites are different. A Jew is anyone who relgion is Judaism, it not a race but a religion. Jew is in the Bible but it's a mistranslation, everytime "Jew" is used in the Bible it should read Judah. Judah is one of the 12 tribes of Israel, so calling ALL Israelites Jews is incorrect. Moses was from the tribe Levi not Judah so that means that he wasn't a Jew, Abraham counldn't a descendant of his own great great grandson so he wasn't a Jew ethier. The name Jew should have never even appear in the English translation.\n\nToday many Jews are white, ask ANY Jew, what does it take to be a Jew. They will tell you to convert to Judaism or if your moms a Jew, then your Jewish.\n\nNONE of them will tell you that to be a Israelites you HAVE to be a decsendant of one of the 12 tribes of Jacob/Israel.\nNote all through out scripture the Bible says that genology is ONLY pass through the FATHER never the mom/wife.\n\nWith that been said Jews are not Israelites and Israelites are not Jews. \n\nTO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION: Todays most Jews are descendants of Ashkenaz and Khazar tribes Both are decsendants of Japhet, Genesis 10 1-5 with are European tribes, which is why todays Jews are white. Until when find some evidences of what Isrealites looked like and can proven they are Israelites, then we would know what color they are.

Judism believes that the Messiah is yet to come.  The scriptures promised that a messiah will come to free the Jews from all oppression. Christians believe that Jesus Christ was (is) the promised messiah.

The Jews and the Christians have the same God.  They both believe the old testament.  Jews just don't believe that Jesus Christ was God's son.  They believe in the same God, but the Jews just have a different name for God (just like Savior, Father, the Holy Spirit).  I woudl know, I'm Jewish, but I used to be a Christian.

Christian is the tree. Catholic is the branch of the tree.

Christ started the entire charistian religous adventure. Would it be fair to say the Christianity is a religion and a race. A race that is poulated by blood descendants of jesus? Unlikely.\n\nOr, the first jew was Abraham who took the commandment from God outside of the cty of Ur, check out the old testament for this. Before that Abraqham was not a Jew, just like Christ was Jewish befor he converted to Christianity by his death by some charistians account. Therefore the only true members of the Jewish race would be blood descendants of Abraham. Again not a likely defintion or race event.\n\nBut to be precise here is the definition of race(noun)\na group of persons related by common descent or heredity.  \n2. a population so related.  \n3. Anthropology. a. any of the traditional divisions of humankind, the commonest being the Caucasian, Mongoloid, and Negro, characterized by supposedly distinctive and universal physical characteristics: no longer in technical use.  \nb. an arbitrary classification of modern humans, sometimes, esp. formerly, based on any or a combination of various physical characteristics, as skin color, facial form, or eye shape, and now frequently based on such genetic markers as blood groups.  \nc. a human population partially isolated reproductively from other populations, whose members share a greater degree of physical and genetic similarity with one another than with other humans.  \n \n4. a group of tribes or peoples forming an ethnic stock: the Slavic race.  \n5. any people united by common history, language, cultural traits, etc.: the Dutch race.  \n6. the human race or family; humankind: Nuclear weapons pose a threat to the race.  \n7. Zoology. a variety; subspecies.  \n8. a natural kind of living creature: the race of fishes.  \n9. any group, class, or kind, esp. of persons: Journalists are an interesting race.  \n\nThe only definitions for race that come close are"\n 4. a group of tribes or peoples forming an ethnic stock: the Slavic race.  \n5. any people united by common history, language, cultural traits, etc.: the Dutch race\n\nJews may or may not have developed from a common tribe or ethnic stock. If you believe they did, the 12 tribes of Israel...then Yes Jews are a race.\n\nIf you believe that jews are united by a common history...you are making a wek argumenbt as Jews can be found in many countries and cultures are are unrelated by a common history, language or culture.\n\nNo...jews only have a religion in common. They are a very diverse froup of individuals spread arounfd the world living within cultures and speaking diverse languages so they are not tryuly a race as such.

Judaism is what Jews believe to be the word of G-d. Christianity is what Christian believe to be the word of God
