    One of the core differences between being a Christian and a Jew is that Christians accept Jesus Christ as the Messiah, and Jews do not. Jews believe that the Messiah hasn’t come yet, but will one day. One of the reasons that some Christians reckon that Christianity is similar to Judaism is because the first 5 sections of the bible are also included in the Torah (Jewish Bible) and therefor, the things written in those sections are indeed a part of Judaism. Christians and Jews believe in the same God, but the their name for God is Adonai. There are so many other differences that I could go into, but to name all of them would mean writing a novel, lol.

    Christianity (Catholicism) was an offshoot of Judaism that occurred a link thousand years ago. The first Christians were considered Jewish heretics. Christians took the Torah and place it at the beginning of their Bible (Genesis-Deuteronomy), and added a bunch of their own writings since they believe that Jesus was the fulfillment of Jewish prophecy.
