Judaism does not accept that Jesus was the son of god or the Messiah. They do not accept the New Testament as the word of God. \n\nThere have been and are Christian Jews most notably Jesus himself, the Virgin Mary, Mary Magdalene and the 12 Apostles. Christianity began as a Jewish sect.

Agnostic, I imagine.  Although what you're explaining could be Judaism as well...

Abraham had 2 children. Issac and ismael.\nIssac was born to Sarah Abraham's wife.\nismael was to Hagar a bondwoman.\n\nThe descendents of Isamel are Muslims.\nIssac was born after Ismael.\nSarah wanted Hagar and Ishmael cast out.Abraham sent Hagar and Ishmael away at God’s direction. God gave Hagar water in the middle of the desert.(This place is believed to be Mecca).\n\nSo the orgin of Judaism, Christianity and Islam are same. All of them started from adam.In between the belief changed and one religion is split.\n\nMuslims believe that Abraham had a vision in which he saw himself sacrificing his son, that son was Ishmael, the son of his slave-woman Hagar. The attempted sacrifice took place at Mina \n\nChristians believe that Issac as the son whom God called on Abraham to sacrifice.

That is  a very good question and the answer is a little confusing. The problem is that people often get confused between Judiasm and Jews. To be Jewish does NOT mean you follow the Jewish religion, instead it is a group of people. Kind of like just because you are Indian does not mean you are hindu, or if you are arabic it does not mean you are muslim (unless it is the law of your country) \n\nNow before the birth of Christ, the Jewish(reffering to the group of people) did follow the same religion, which can be called the "Jewish" religion, because they where Jew and that was their religion. Now, before Christ was born, as you know from reading the scriptures, their where prophesies about his coming. Some believed and some did not believe he was coming. When Jesus Christ was born he taught many new things and gave new revelations. Thus came Christianity, though if it was called that at the time, I am not sure. Those who did not believe he was the Savior and still live by the ways before Christ and do not follow His new teachings broke off and are today reffered to as "Jewish"\n\nThose who followe Christ are Christians. Those who are Jewish by blood are not neccesarily Jewish by religian, You can be jewish by religion even if you are not Jewish by blood. Jesus was born to Jewish parents and He is how Christianity started. Remember, back then Jewish and Christianity were intertwined and not distinctively seperate.\n\nI know it is confusing. But basically, the coming of Christ and the belief in whet He taught is what seperates the 2 religions.

I am not sure what you mean. WHILE one remains in one faith, one cannot ALSO become a Jew by converting to Judaism. So, if that is what you mean, you are right, while having other religions one cannot ALSO convert to Judaism. But if one gives up that faith, then one can convert to Judaism and become a Jew.\n\nBUT, if you mean that no one can convert to Judaism at all, then you are very wrong!

I'm not a rabbi, but I am Jewish, and I can tell you that the concept of the trinity is not part of Jewish doctrine.\n\nAccording to Judaism, there's one God, not divided in any way, period.  Hope that helps!

"I asked what if Jesus wasn't the only Messiah"\nYou're a bit confused, aren't you ... ... I see a messiah-related question from you, linked to whether there was a fifth Judas gospel. How can you expect an open answer to that question.\n\nAnd the Jews don't think Abraham is/was the Messiah.\n\nNot only don't you know what you're asking, you obviously don't know what you're talking about either ...\n\n... and this from the man who asked "Why did yahoo censor my reply to "how many differant sorts of rape"? Good to see you're a well-balanced individual.\n\nHonestly - what is the point of you?

both jews and christians believe in jehovah, the god of the bible...they differ in who they think the messiah is...or who jesus is...in relation to the father God, jehovah\n\nmuslims believe in one god , allah, but he is not jehovah.  allah opposes jehovah.

Islam isn't really an "offshoot" of Judaism. And Judaism predates Islam by thousands of years.

By your rules, Judaism came first. However, when God speaks to Abraham, he tells him specifically not to be like the people around him who worship idols. Therefore, the idol worshipers came first. I am not sure what they called themselves, though.

For all - let's get our facts straight. Christianity evoloved out of Jewism. Jesus was a Jew and the Isrealites were Jews. Christianity evolved from this. We are NOT all decendants of Adam and Eve - the Isrealites were. Were the other white people come from  is a mystery. There were some angles outside the garden and  what other people there were - we don't have an idea. I don't beleive in evolution but are also having a hard time believing creation. So who were outside the garden..maybe the animals and who created them...no idea

thats funny. but the truth of the matter is that jews are decended of the Isralites that lived in biblical israel over 2000 years ago and the father of both jews and most arabs is the Abraham of the bible. Both are refered to as semitic peoples. they are from the area but they are two compleatly different peoples.

Before Christ there no Christians. The people were Jews, pagans and various Abrahamic based religions
