Beliefs
The roots of Christianity can be found in Judaism, therefore it is not surprising that the two religions share many similarities in their basic beliefs. Some of these similarities include the belief of the existence of one God, the coming of the Messiah and the belief of some sort of afterlife. However these beliefs are also what sets the two religions apart, the most obvious of which is the Christian's acceptances of Jesus Christ as the Messiah. The Christian's  divergence from Judaism led to many changes that affected different aspects of the religion. Below is a comparative table that shows some of the similarities and differences between these two religions. Click on the key word in each box for more information.
